"Sect Master, are you just going to let that person go?" Yu Shiqi came out of the casino and asked Teng Antong in confusion.

"He has already told the possible whereabouts of Zhong Lingqi." Teng Antong motioned for him to follow him, "There are priorities. Find your father first."

Yu Shiqi was full of worries: "For me personally, the top priority is to find my father, but you shouldn't think so, sect leader. And what did he mean when he said that Yunzhongjian is not monolithic? Don't you care about this?

A little?"

"Perhaps there is a traitor among us." Teng Antong said calmly.

"Your tone is as calm as saying that the moonlight tonight is nice..."

"Maybe." Teng Antong shrugged.

Yu Shiqi followed her and asked hesitantly: "Sect Master has been leading Yunzhongjian for so many years, do you also have selfish motives?"

"Why not?" Teng Antong asked, "First of all, I am a woman who dotes on my sister, and secondly, I am the leader of the Desolate Sect."

"I...I was suddenly speechless."

"There are some things that you don't need to worry too much about. You have already left Yunzhongjian. That is not your responsibility." Teng Antong's tone softened and he comforted him: "When you find Zhong Lingqi, you should leave the imperial capital as soon as possible. This is right and wrong.

Land. As for the responsibility of dealing with people with ulterior motives, leave it to those who should bear it."

Yu Shiqi smiled bitterly: "But I have already obtained the special seal from the Konglan Sect Master. The people who the Sect Master said should bear responsibility include me."

Teng Antong stopped and looked back at him in surprise: "Are you crazy? Why should you accept it?"

"Don't you, the sect master, want me to return to Yunzhongjian? Not long ago, when you were in Tongfeng Sect, you still..."

"This time, that time." Teng Antong frowned seriously, "When I was with the Tongfeng Sect, I was more testing you, but I didn't really want you to come back."

"Why, just because I am your sister's child, you want me to stay away from danger?"

"Yes, it's that simple." Teng Antong admitted unabashedly, "This is my selfishness."

Yu Shiqi was silent for a while, then spoke again: "When the sect master said these words, he had already lost the qualification to command Yunzhongjian."

"My belief in the Desolate Sect has long since turned from fanaticism to calmness. Nineteen years ago, when you were still a baby, I felt confused about the organization." Teng Antong said with a self-deprecating smile, "If I hadn't been succeeded as the great sect leader later,

Impressed by Liu Yike, I guess I have put down the inherited ancient sword long ago."

Yu Shiqi didn't understand what she was talking about, but she could vaguely tell that something seemed to have happened that year that made her feel disheartened by the organization.

"Before Liu Yike, there was an official grand sect leader in Huangwu. People of our generation grew up under his watch, and we all called him "old man" in private. We have always followed his orders as if they were divine decrees. But he is a bigot.

And strong people, when they realize that their time is running out, they want to arrange everything for the afterlife." Teng Antong told Yu Shiqi about the history of that year, and his mood became increasingly heavy, "The Grand Master issued an order to

Yun Zhongjian's last order was to get rid of Zhong Lingqi, a potential hidden danger. How ridiculous is this order? Zhong Lingqi had already retired to the Wuyue countryside with Meng Yuzhou to live a life away from the disputes in the world."

Yu Shiqi recalled the conversation between Zhong Lingqi and Teng Yining when they met for the first time in Jincheng, and then realized that this was what Teng Yining was worried about at the time.

"Fortunately, this order was terminated due to the sudden death of the great sect leader, and Zhong Lingqi saved his life." Teng Antong said, "But from that time on, my belief in the Desolate Sect is no longer pure.

"

Listening to her heartfelt words, Yu Shiqi suddenly felt an inexplicable chill all over his body. The words he heard from the intelligence dealer not long ago came to his mind involuntarily - "Because you Yunzhongjian are not at all

Monolithic."

Could it be that... someone with different ambitions within Yunzhongjian is standing in front of her at this moment? Yu Shiqi was frightened by her own thoughts. If Teng Antong is a traitor to Yunzhongjian, then she does have the ability to kill Yunzhongjian.

Everyone hid it because she was the leader of Yunzhongjian.

The urge to press the hilt of the sword flashed in his heart for a moment, but Yu Shiqi knew very well that he could not be the opponent of Teng Antong who was carrying the ancient sword Yunming.

"What's wrong with you?" Teng Antong noticed something was wrong with his expression and thought he was uncomfortable somewhere, so he asked with concern.

Yu Shiqi knew that his face must be ugly now, because the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his heart just now were too terrifying, and even made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire and didn't know how to struggle.

Teng Antong reached out towards his forehead in confusion. The moment before his fingers were about to touch the center of his eyebrows, Yu Shiqi subconsciously made a move to retreat.

"Zhi'er?"

"Sect Master..." Yu Shiqi looked at her a few steps away, "I don't know... can I trust you?"

Seeing Yu Shiqi's quick retreat just now, Teng Antong knew that there was nothing wrong with his body, and the reason for his ugly face was probably due to psychological factors.

"Because of what I just said, do you suspect that I am a rebel from Yunzhongjian?"

"What you just said is the motivation, isn't it?"

Teng Antong stared at his slightly trembling shoulders, sighed, turned around and continued walking: "Time is precious, while the information is still fresh, hurry up and follow him."

Yu Shiqi was stunned. He didn't expect that she wouldn't explain a word, and he didn't expect that she would give her back to him who was already suspicious so calmly.

He hurriedly caught up, thinking that he might have been too nervous and misunderstood her good intentions.

…

In an empty stone room with a long lamp burning, two tall figures stood facing each other ten steps away.

Zhong Lingqi folded his hands and stared at Nie Guijiang, who was standing with his sword on his face, expressionlessly: "Are you the only one?"

"It's just me."

"Let them go," Zhong Lingqi ordered.

Nie Guijiang seemed not to have heard his words and stood there without any reaction.

"Nie Guijiang, I ask you to release him." Zhong Lingqi's voice rose a little.

"Zhong Lingqi, do you still think you are the master of Wangchuan?" Nie Guijiang asked, "What have you done for Wangchuan these years?"

Zhong Lingqi held the long sword he brought from Yunzhongjian in front of him, drew the sword and threw it off the scabbard: "No matter what your purpose is and why you are dissatisfied with me, you have offended me today.

The bottom line is, I’m asking you for the last time, will you let me go?”

"It's such a pity that you came too late. We are all gone." Nie Guijiang unsheathed his sword and lowered his body in preparation for a fight.
