Chapter 679 It’s really damn bad!

Chapter 679: Truly Damnable!

Looking at Zhang Yuhe's extremely cold eyes, Zhao Zheng felt a surge of panic in his heart.

Although their Zhao Family's allegiance to the Tianyang Sect was indeed kept very secret, even within the Family, only two or three people knew about it.

Zhang Yuhe had only just arrived today to take up the position of Tianfeng Garrison Envoy. He shouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual.

But the problem was, the terrifying scene before him was simply too frightening.

More importantly, this place was originally Jianglin City, belonging to the Wang Family.

Zhao Zheng had always suspected that there was a hidden force behind Wang Jiangyuan.

Today, Zhang Yuhe had just taken office and appeared in Jianglin City. Moreover, he seemed to have fought a battle with a terrifying powerful being.

Who was that powerful being? Could it be the force behind Wang Jiangyuan?

If that were truly the case, and Zhang Yuhe could discover the secret behind Wang Jiangyuan, then would their Zhao Family's secret also be discovered?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng had an impulse to immediately flee.

However, reason told him he couldn't run.

If he ran, he would truly expose himself.

And with Zhang Yuhe here, could he even escape?

Zhao Zheng could only pray that Zhang Yuhe had not discovered their allegiance to the Tianyang Sect.

Otherwise, he dared not imagine the consequences.

While Zhao Zheng's heart was still in turmoil, Zhang Yuhe spoke indifferently, "Zhao Family Head, I dare not accept the title of 'Sir'."

“Hall Master Liu of the Sifang Hall of the Tianyang Sect is the 'Sir' in your heart, isn't he?”

Zhang Yuhe's single sentence instantly sent chills down Zhao Zheng's spine.

He knew it. The matter had been exposed.

Although he wasn't sure where Zhang Yuhe had learned about his allegiance to the Tianyang Sect, and why he specifically mentioned Hall Master Liu, he did know that just moments ago, he had communicated with Liu Yuanguang.

How did Zhang Yuhe know so quickly? Was this new Town Guardian Envoy so powerful in Divine Ability?

Zhao Zheng tried his best to calm down. He was thinking about how to quibble, or at least how to quickly escape.

Zhao Zheng thought that as long as he could get through this, he would immediately take the entire Zhao Family and flee to the Sky Yang Domain. He truly dared not stay in this Tianfeng Continent.

But the problem was, since Zhang Yuhe had discovered their allegiance to the Tianyang Sect, would he still let him go now?

Just then, Zhang Yuhe's cold voice came again, "I hear you have some big plan with the Tianyang Sect? Can you tell me about it?"

“Also, that Hall Master Liu told you that he plans to lure me out and eliminate me. How do you plan to lure me out, and where do you plan to eliminate me?”

“Hmm!”

Zhang Yuhe's voice was like ice in June, pouring over Zhao Zheng's head.

“It’s over.” He knew he was finished. The entire Zhao Family was also about to be finished.

Hearing Zhang Yuhe's words, Ye Zhiqiu immediately and quietly distanced himself from Zhao Zheng.

He didn't want Zhang Yuhe to think he was allied with Zhao Zheng. If that were the case, it would be difficult to explain.

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu was also full of questions at this moment. He had indeed known for a long time about Zhao Zheng's allegiance to the Tianyang Sect.

However, he didn't know that the Zhao Family and the Tianyang Sect were so deeply entangled, and that they even had some grand plan.

Furthermore, the new Town Guardian Envoy had just arrived on the Tianfeng Continent, and Zhao Zheng and the Tianyang Sect were already thinking of eliminating him.

Thinking of the previous Tianfeng Garrison Envoy, who also seemed to have disappeared unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel a chill.

Originally, he thought Zhao Zheng was just playing both sides.

Now it seemed Zhao Zheng had long since sold his life to the Tianyang Sect.

Now that his true colors had been exposed by the new Town Guardian Envoy, how could he possibly survive?

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about the fate of Zhao Zheng and the Zhao Family. He just didn't want this matter to implicate him.

Earlier, he had merely seen the phenomenon of the great battle and, out of curiosity, came to take a look.

How could Ye Zhiqiu have known that this look would drag him into such big trouble?

If he had known, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't have stepped out of Qiuye City just now.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu secretly became vigilant, both guarding against Zhang Yuhe suddenly attacking him, and also against Zhao Zheng escaping.

Zhao Zheng's exposure meant certain death. If Zhao escaped while he was merely observing, it would be impossible to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Moreover, at this point, Zhao Zheng would definitely try to escape because he had no other choice.

Since his allegiance to the Tianyang Sect had been exposed by Zhang Yuhe, how could Zhang Yuhe let him go?

As expected, as soon as Zhang Yuhe's words fell, Zhao Zheng no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his right hand, dozens of identical figures instantly appeared around him.

The aura of these figures was almost identical to his own, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.

Dozens of figures flew up simultaneously, transforming into streaks of light, rapidly flying in all directions.

Divine Ability: Shifting Shadows.

This was Zhao Zheng's strongest life-saving Divine Ability. Since successfully Cultivating this Divine Ability, he had never displayed it in front of others.

No one knew that he possessed this powerful life-saving Divine Ability.

Seeing Zhao Zheng transform into dozens of figures and fly in all directions, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be stunned.

However, he quickly reacted. With a wave of his right hand, a terrifying blade light streaked across the sky.

The blade light quickly swept through, continuously shattering more than ten figures.

However, the moment the blade light passed, these figures immediately turned into illusions and dissipated in mid-air.

Clearly, he had not found Zhao Zheng's true body. The figures he had continuously shattered were nothing more than illusions.

Just as Ye Zhiqiu was wondering whether to continue pursuing in other directions, he heard Zhang Yuhe let out a cold snort.

“Hmph, you’re already at death’s door, why struggle? Just die obediently.”

As soon as Zhang Yuhe finished speaking, a massive grinding stone suddenly appeared in the Void Realm.

The grinding stone radiated terrifying Divine Might, enveloping all directions.

As the grinding stone slowly rotated, the figures that had already fled into the distance instantly turned into bubbles, shattered, and vanished.

Only one figure remained, struggling desperately under the suppression of the grinding stone's Divine Might.

This figure was, of course, Zhao Zheng's true body.

Although the Shifting Shadows Divine Ability he used was indeed somewhat mysterious, with dozens of figures fleeing in all directions simultaneously, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake, if one were to pursue them individually, it would be very likely to lose the real target.

It was indeed a good life-saving Divine Ability. However, in front of Zhang Yuhe, it was not enough. Zhang Yuhe had a hundred ways to root out his true body.

Ye Zhiqiu, witnessing this scene, was completely stunned.

What kind of Divine Ability was this? How could it be so terrifying?

He could clearly feel the terror of the massive grinding stone phantom above his head.

Even a True God Cultivator like Zhao Zheng was completely confined in place, unable to move a single bit, under the suppression of the grinding stone phantom.

To be able to suppress and confine a True God Cultivator, how terrifying was that?

Fortunately, this grinding stone phantom did not seem to be targeting him. This new Town Guardian Envoy must have already seen everything clearly, which was why he was not implicated.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As the grinding stone phantom pressed down, Zhao Zheng completely froze.

He struggled desperately, while shouting loudly towards Ye Zhiqiu in the distance, “Brother Ye, save me! Donghua Palace plans to completely cleanse the Tianfeng Continent!”

“Once I die, it will be your turn next!”

“Damn it.” Hearing Zhao Zheng's shouts, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but curse under his breath.

“Damn it. You’re already a dead man, why drag me into this? Truly damnable.”
