Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 174 Secret Passage Explosives, Yang Xiao is greatly alarmed

At this moment, Yang Xiao was convinced that the woman in front of him was the daughter of the Purple-Robed Dragon King.

But he was still puzzled by Xiao Zhao's purpose in appearing here, so he continued to ask, "Since you are the daughter of the Dragon King, why are you looking for my Ming Cult's secret passage?!"

Stop saying you stumbled into this place by mistake. The Ming Cult's secret passages are so well hidden, there's no way you could have stumbled into this place by mistake!

I noticed your suspicious behavior earlier; I suspect you've been searching for this secret passage all along!

Yang Xiao's eyes were sharp; even if the other party was the daughter of the Purple-Robed Dragon King, he would not easily show mercy.

The Purple-Robed Dragon King chose to leave the Ming Cult for the sake of a man, and is no longer a member of the Ming Cult.

Not to mention her daughter, she has no right to enter this forbidden area of ​​the Ming Cult!

Xiao Zhao hesitated, not daring to meet Yang Xiao's gaze.

At this moment, Xu Qing spoke up: "You've come here for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, haven't you?"

He directly exposed the other party's intentions, which sent chills down Xiao Zhao's spine. Terrified, she immediately knelt on the ground and bowed in worship.

"Master, Xiao Zhao did come for the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, but she was also forced to come."

If my mother cannot obtain the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and if the people from the Persian Ming Cult headquarters come to the Central Plains, my mother will surely die.

To save her own life, my mother resorted to this desperate measure, sending Xiao Zhao to find the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

Xiao Zhao no longer dared to hide anything. She felt that all her thoughts could not escape the gaze of Xu Qing, the new leader of the sect.

This is truly terrifying; it's as if the other party can actually see through people's hearts!
Xu Qing remained calm, but Yang Xiao was quite surprised. From Xiao Zhao's words, he could tell that Dai Qisi seemed to be from the Persian Ming Cult headquarters.

No wonder her appearance is so different from that of people from the Central Plains. It is likely that Dai Qisi joined the Ming Cult with the mission of stealing the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and became Yang Dingtian's godfather!

At this moment, Yang Xiao gradually cleared his mind.

But he still asked Xiao Zhao, "Was the mission to steal the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth divine skill Dai Qisi's original mission when she came to the Central Plains from the Persian Ming Cult?!"

Xiao Zhao nodded, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, "Xiao Zhao knows she has committed a grave crime, but I hope that the leader and master will consider the great contributions my mother made to the Ming Cult back then and spare her."

By this point, Xiao Zhao realized that she was unlikely to survive.

Therefore, he asked the two not to use this as a pretext to deal with Daisy.

After all, her mother had already had a hard enough life over the years.

"Hmph, Dai Qisi attempted to steal our sect's divine skills. Such a heinous crime cannot be compensated by her so-called merits."

Yang Xiao snorted coldly, "Dai Qisi harbored ill intentions from the very beginning and was never one to be of one mind with the Ming Cult."

Such a person must be executed!
"Master, in my opinion, we should first throw this girl into the dungeon. I will interrogate her personally and I will surely be able to find out Dai Qisi's whereabouts. At that time, Yang Xiao will personally bring the sinner Dai Qisi back to the sect for punishment!"

Yang Xiao looked at Xu Qing and asked for permission.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao turned even paler with fright. She immediately clung to Yang Xiao's leg, crying and pleading, "No! Don't hurt my mother!"

"Noisy!"

Xu Qing frowned, waved his hand, and Xiao Zhao was instantly sent flying, crashing into the wall, her crying cries immediately ceasing.

Xiao Zhao fainted immediately.

Xu Qing did not kill her; he only stunned the noisy girl.

"Take her with you." Xu Qing finished speaking and looked down at the stone gate in front of him.

Then, with a single palm strike, the surging power crashed down like a tidal wave, smashing the stone gate to pieces.

The stone gate was extremely thick and hard, but Xu Qing's physical body and true energy were so strong, and the palm technique he used was the most powerful and fierce in the world. No matter how thick the stone gate was, it would be shattered.

As for finding the so-called opening mechanism, Xu Qing didn't even bother to use his divine sense to search for it; he simply opened the door by force.

With a flick of his sleeve, all the dust transformed into a long dragon surging forward.

Yang Xiao's eyelids twitched violently. He hadn't expected the sect leader to be so fierce, violently breaking down the door.

Judging from the texture of the stone door, he knew it would be extremely difficult to break through.

At least, he certainly couldn't have broken down the door like this. He didn't speak, but secretly suppressed his surprise, grabbed the unconscious Xiao Zhao with one hand, and followed.

The passage behind the stone gate was significantly wider than the one before.

They even saw many side passages, which was the true location of the Ming Cult's secret passages.

It's a complex maze inside, and without a map or secret passage, it's easy to get trapped and unable to find your way out.

However, Xu Qing did not need a map; his divine sense allowed him to see the layout of the secret passage.

They maintained their pace and headed towards the place where Yang Dingtian had died.

Yang Xiao also noticed that Xu Qing seemed very familiar with this place, as if it wasn't his first time here.

Although he had doubts, he did not ask them.

Being allowed to enter this place was already a great favor from the cult leader.

How could they dare to ask so many questions?

Suddenly, he smelled something strange. He looked down, touched it, and sniffed it. His expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Master, there's gunpowder on the ground!"

Xu Qing remained expressionless, naturally knowing that there was gunpowder on the ground.

That was Cheng Kun's previous arrangement.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, continuing forward with Yang Xiao without stopping.

Before reaching the secret chamber where Yang Dingtian was in seclusion, we arrived at a more spacious place.

Yang Xiao's expression changed drastically again. He hurried forward and saw a large pile of things.

He weighed it in his hand, opened it, and exclaimed, "Explosives! Lots of explosives!"

"Master, how come there are so many explosives here?!"

Yang Xiao could hardly help but be shocked. This was a secret passage of the Ming Cult, located inside the entire Bright Peak mountain. If these explosives were ignited, the entire mountain would collapse.

Everyone at the Ming Cult headquarters would likely die in the landslide, without even a chance to escape.

Could these be what Master Yang kept?

But keeping these things in a secret passage is far too dangerous!
If it were to ignite accidentally, the Ming Cult would be finished.

He examined it carefully, his expression growing increasingly strange, and he made a discovery:

"Master, these explosives don't seem to have been stored here for a long time; they seem to have been here recently!"

This discovery sent chills down Yang Xiao's spine.

This shows that someone wants to harm the Ming Cult and destroy it!
who is it? !
Could it be Xiao Zhao?!
She wasn't after the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth; she wanted to destroy the Ming Cult!?
Just as Yang Xiao was brainstorming, Xu Qing slowly spoke up: "These things did indeed appear here recently, and you know the person who planted these explosives."

Yang Xiao came to his senses and said, "I know him too?"
"Do you still remember Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, who ambushed you, the Five Wanderers, and Wei Bat King?"

Xu Qing said.

"It's him!" Yang Xiao was stunned. He thought it would be Xiao Zhao, but he didn't expect it to be Cheng Kun.

"That's it! Cheng Kun's sudden appearance in our sect's main hall must have been through this secret passage!" Yang Xiao finally realized.

He had also wondered how Cheng Kun had infiltrated the Ming Cult.

If we take this secret passage, it will be incredibly easy.

"He actually transported so much explosives, intending to destroy my Ming Cult!"
"That damned bald monk! What grudge does my Ming Cult hold against him that he is so ruthless!"

Yang Xiao cursed angrily, his heart breaking from the shock of the explosives.

If it weren't for the intervention of the cult leader who suppressed Cheng Kun, the Ming Cult would have truly been finished.

Only now did he realize that the biggest crisis facing the Ming Cult was not the so-called siege by the six major sects, but the explosives that Cheng Kun had hidden in this secret passage.

This person's vicious and ruthless nature terrified Yang Xiao, leaving him unable to calm down!
