Judging from Jiang Taihua's memory, he should be the first second-generation corpse insect host, about five years ago.

The others became the host of the zombie bug after him, and he should be the only person who had contact with the helmsman behind the scenes.

When the man met him for the second time, he told him that the source of undead essence in his body had special sensing ability and could sense his companions.

This shows that the man had planned to create another batch of corpse insect hosts at that time.

But why did he do this? Tangning was puzzled.

Jiang Taihua had no contact with the man after the third meeting, which means that the man did not continue to follow up and investigate the growth of corpse worms. Then why did he create so many corpse worm hosts? It should be known that the more people there are, the more the number will increase.

risk of revealing their identity.

After Jiang Taihua became the host of a corpse insect, he went into seclusion for a year at the man's request.

Later, the man asked him about various abnormalities in his body, indicating that the man was indeed observing the growth of the corpse insect host. But why did he stop contacting him afterwards?

All kinds of mysteries are really puzzling. So far, we still don’t know what the man behind the scenes wants to do? What is the purpose of doing all this?

"The Forbidden Secret Department speculates that the man behind the scenes can observe the condition of the corpse worms in the corpse worm host through the corpse worm mother body." Lu Xingxian said.

"What was Jiang Taihua's purpose in establishing the Immortal Cult?" Tang Ning asked. The file did not mention why he founded the Immortal Cult.

"Who knows! The Forbidden Secret Department can only read memories, but there is no way to know his thoughts. Maybe it was a sudden whim, or maybe there was another plot. None of this is important. He is just a chess piece. The key is what's behind it

The one who arranges the chess game."

"Since Jiang Taihua is a loose cultivator in Qi State, why did he come to Chu State to develop the Immortal Cult?"

"Maybe he has a guilty conscience and is afraid of exposing his identity! If a casual cultivator like him were in Qi State, there would be too many people who knew the truth, and he would be easily found out."

Tang Ning nodded. This makes sense. If he really had a plan to establish the Immortal Cult, he would naturally not be able to leave Xingang. Chu State would be the best choice.

Since the man behind the scenes could know about Jiang Taihua's imminent death state, and to find him in his retreat cave, he must be an acquaintance of him.

There are not many monks in the late stage of foundation building in the entire Qi Kingdom. Since I know Jiang Taihua, I can find them without much effort by checking them one by one.

Lu Xingxian said: "The matter involves the monks of Qi State. We must greet them on the territory of Shuiyun Sect. The leader has discussed with the leader of Shuiyun Sect a few days ago, and we will send a small team of monks to investigate

, Shuiyun Sect will send people to cooperate with us, Uncle Tong has instructed that it is up to you, Jiang Yuhuan, and Guan Sheng to go to Qi State to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the person behind the scenes."

"What about the intelligence station?"

Lu Xingxian said: "Since Uncle Tong has named you to go, I will put aside the affairs of the intelligence station and leave them to the people below. If there is an emergency, I will arrange for Junior Brother Du to take your place for a while."

"Three days later, there will be a meeting about corpse insects in the Secret Academy. At that time, it will be announced that you will go to Qi State to investigate this matter, as well as various related matters. We, the relevant disciples of the Inspection Department and the Forbidden Secret Department will have to participate."

Tangning nodded and said, "I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Lu Xingxian nodded, and Tang Ning exited the cave and disappeared into light.

Three days passed by in a flash, and several people arrived one after another in the meeting hall of the Secret Academy.

There were six people in total, including Lu Xingxian, the deacon of the Intelligence Department, Yang Wenhua, the deacon of the Forbidden Secrets Department, Shen Wannian, the deacon of the Inspection Department, and Tang Ning, Jiang Yuhuan, and Guan Sheng.

Several people took their seats one by one and nodded. About a quarter of an hour later, a boy-faced man with white hair strode in, followed by a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was the head Zhili Yin Qingyuan.

Several people quickly stood up and saluted, calling them Uncle Tong.

Tong Quan'an walked straight to the main seat and took his seat. He waved his hand to signal everyone to take their seats: "Master Nephew Yin, please take a seat too!"

"Yes." Yin Qingyuan responded, sitting close to everyone.

"Master Nephew Yang, please first tell us about the situation under your control in the Forbidden Secret Department!"

"Yes." Yang Wenhua stood up and said: "Since the capture of the immortal leader Jiang Taihua, he has been stubborn and refused to cooperate. We had no choice but to use forbidden techniques on him and forcibly read his memory. In his past memory We found the footprints of a man, and we speculate that this man should be the mastermind behind the corpse bug."

"I met this person three times in total. He was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, so I don't know his identity and appearance. I only know that he is a late-stage foundation-building monk..."

Yang Wenhua truthfully recounted the information obtained from his memory, all of which were recorded in the file.

Tong Quan'an said: "I have reported this matter to the leader, who also attaches great importance to this matter. Because the incident occurred in Qi State, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Qianyi Sect, the leader and the Shuiyun Sect's leader obtained Contact us, it turns out that they are also secretly investigating the corpse insect matter. The leader ordered us to send a small team to join the Shuiyun Sect investigation team and act together to arrest the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Master Nephew Yin will be the leader of this team and will lead you to Qi Kingdom. Master Nephew Yin, please tell us about the situation at Shuiyun Sect!"

"Yes." Yin Qingyuan stood up and said: "A month ago, the leader received a report from Master Tong and wrote a letter and sent me to deliver it to Shuiyun Sect. After I arrived at Shuiyun Sect, I met with Senior Song to present this matter , and then I found out that they were also investigating the corpse bug issue and had made considerable progress."

"After I handed the letter from the leader to Senior Song, he said that the two sects would jointly investigate the matter, and the Shuiyun sect would also send an investigation team to assist us."

Tong Quan'an said: "I still want Senior Nephew Jiang, Senior Nephew Tang, and Senior Nephew Guan to investigate this matter. The leader has appointed Senior Nephew Yin to be the leader of your group. We will set off tomorrow to Qi State to investigate with Shuiyun Sect. Team rendezvous."

"Yes." Several people stood up and responded.

Tong Quan'an then announced that the discussion was over, and everyone left the hall one after another. Yin Qingyuan said: "Three junior brothers, let's gather here tomorrow at midnight and head to Qi State together."

Naturally, the three of them had no objections and each went back to the cave.

The next day, several people arrived as promised, followed Yin Qingyuan out of the sect, and disappeared into the distance.

Along the way, we passed through high mountains and crossed large mountains and rivers. After walking for about ten days, we finally arrived in the territory of Qi State.

After walking for another day, we arrived at a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles. Yin Qingyuan pointed to the mist-shrouded peaks below and said, "This is called the Qianxiu Mountain Range. It is the meeting place agreed upon by Shuiyun Sect and I."

Several people escaped from the light and landed on the top of a mountain peak, but there was no one around them.

"There are still three days before the agreed date, let's wait patiently for a day or two." Yin Qingyuan said, several people sat cross-legged, closed their eyes and practiced, recovering the spiritual power that was consumed along the way.

Two days later, several rays of escaping light came from far away. Not long after, they reached the top of the mountain and several human figures appeared.

There were four people in the group, two men and two women.

The leader is a burly man, about forty years old, with a face as thick as a jujube, a solemn expression, and a late-stage cultivation base.

The remaining three are all in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. One of them is graceful, with skin as bright as snow, plump figure, waist and fat hips. He is Nangong Feiyue, a non-demon of the Silver Fox Clan.

When Tang Ning saw that it was her, she glanced at Jiang Yuhuan subconsciously. Last time the three Xuanmen sects formed elite disciples to fight against the Demon Sect, the matter between the two caused quite a stir. After they returned to the sect, the news spread and became a The words used by the disciples of the sect when chatting for fun.

The three of them have special identities. Jiang Yuhuan is a well-known figure in the Qianyi Sect, and Qin Tianjiao is also the proud son of the Shuiyun Sect. In addition, with such a beautiful woman who is the most powerful person in the country, it is full of gimmicks for the three of them to get together.

The love and hatred between childhood sweethearts and heroes and beauties is a story that people love to hear and see, whether in the secular world or in the spiritual world.

Tang Ning turned her head to look, but saw that Jiang Yuhuan's expression remained unchanged, with a lazy smile still on his face, as if he hadn't seen him before.

Nangong Feiyue, on the other hand, paused slightly, glanced across his face, and quickly moved away, obviously feeling slightly disturbed in her heart.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, I've been waiting for you for a long time," the leading man said.

"We have just arrived," Yin Qingyuan said.

"Who are these fellow Taoists?" The man looked at the three of them.

"This is junior brother Guan Sheng from our sect's Inspection Department, this is junior brother Tang Ning from our sect's Intelligence Department, and this is junior brother Jiang Yuhuan from our sect's Forbidden Secrets Department." Yin Qingyuan introduced them one by one.

Speaking of Jiang Yuhuan, the eyes of the people across from him were all focused on him. Even the leading man looked at him deeply, obviously he had heard something about what happened between him, Nangong Feiyue and Qin Tianjiao.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce to all the fellow Taoists some of our junior brothers and sisters." The man said: "This is Junior Sister Feiyue of Nangong of the Inspection Department, this is Junior Brother Jiang Yunsheng of the Forbidden Secret Department, and this is Sili Junior sister Liu Zilan."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, regarding the matter of corpse insects, I wonder what progress you can make in recent times?" Yin Qingyuan asked.

The man surnamed Shi said: "We found a secret cave, which can be concluded to be one of the sites for cultivating the source of undead spirits. Unfortunately, it was already empty when we arrived. We speculate that it was used as an experimental site in the early years."

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Yuhuan asked.

Jiang Yunsheng said: "There were two mummies in the cave. We were attacked by them when we entered the cave. After subduing them, we found that these two mummies were the hosts of the undead essence. Their flesh and blood had been sucked dry by the undead essence in their bodies and they had become puppets. General existence. We speculate that these two mummies should be left by the people behind the scenes to guard the secret cave here. From this, we can conclude that the mastermind behind the undead source can control some hosts."

"What are the cultivation levels of those two mummies?" Guan Sheng asked

"I only have Qi refining skills, and there are two first-generation immortal essence sources in my body. They are very abnormally developed and very shriveled. I think it is most likely a failure in his early years."

"How much do you know about the source of immortality?" Tangning asked
