I Become Invincible By Signing In

Chapter 145: The Person Behind the Scenes

However, if the Su family’s matter had nothing to do with them, how did the news of Su Changlin winning the bid for the Body Restoring Flower spread from the Three Absolutes Auction House?

Wang Yi couldn’t be bothered to think too deeply about it. Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or not, there was still one thing that couldn’t be changed: the Three Absolutes Auction House had informed Zhao Tianlin of the information.

“Hmph!”

Wang Yi’s expression was extremely gloomy. He suddenly snorted and said, “In that case, hand the person who sent the message to Zhao Tianlin to me.”

“Don’t say that the person is dead or has disappeared.”

“If you dare to say that, I’ll make the three of you die or disappear here.”

Sensing the cold killing intent in Wang Yi’s words, the three of them couldn’t help but shiver.

The person who spoke just now had a bitter and conflicted expression on his face. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and say, “Lord Venerable, the person who sent the message is me.”

Pa!

When Wang Yi heard this, he was completely enraged. He suddenly slammed the table and said angrily, “How dare you tease me like this? You were the one who spread the news. How dare you say that this has nothing to do with you?”

At this moment, Venerable Ning Jing’s expression was not very good either. But this wasn’t because of Wang Yi’s attitude. If it were her, she might have killed the three of them on the spot.

After all, murdering a Venerable’s family was a serious crime. It was the kind of serious crime that could cause one to be executed without trial.

Furthermore, what really angered Venerable Ning Jing was that when she called the three of them over, she had asked if the Su family’s matter was related to them.

If it was really them, she wouldn’t have just handed them over to Wang Yi.

She would have fought and killed them. She would not embarrass a Venerable for the sake of three top grandmasters.

However, if they were also used by others like Zhao Tianlin, she would be able to mediate and save their lives.

After all, given the current situation of the human race, having three more top-notch existences would still be very useful.

Previously, when she asked them about the matter, they had promised that the Su family’s matter had nothing to do with the Three Absolutes Auction House. Why did they change their minds at the last minute?

With just these few words, Wang Yi could even kill them on the spot.

Meanwhile, the person who spoke just now seemed to have thought of something terrifying. Fear flashed across his eyes, and his face instantly lost all color.

His expression became extremely hesitant and conflicted, and his voice began to stammer.

“Hmph!”

Upon seeing this, Venerable Ning Jing seemed to have sensed something. Before Wang Yi could speak, she snorted.

Then, she scolded him angrily. “Jiang Zailang, you’re a top-notch grandmaster after all. You’re really embarrassing Langya County City by stammering like this.”

“Just say what you want to say. With me and Fellow Daoist Wang here, can anyone do anything to you?”

The meaning behind Venerable Ning Jing’s words was obvious.

The top grandmaster called Jiang Zailang also knew very well that there was only one path left in front of them.

They could expose the mastermind and offend that terrifying existence. However, there would be two Venerables willing to protect them. Thus, they still had a chance to survive.

Alternatively, they could insist on hiding the truth and not offending that terrifying existence. However, this Venerable from the Su family would probably kill them on the spot.

If he chose the former, he might encounter trouble in the future. However, if he chose the latter, he would certainly die today. Even a fool would probably know how to choose.

For Jiang Zailang to have his current achievements, he was naturally not an indecisive person. He could tell which was more important.

After making his choice, he said without hesitation, “It was Venerable Lie Kong!”

“Venerable Lie Kong instructed us to send the news of the Su family obtaining the Body Restoring Flower to Zhao Tianlin and ordered us not to leak his identity.”

“Please forgive us, Lord Venerable. We really don’t dare to disobey the orders of a being like you.”

Venerable Ning Jing frowned when she heard this. She suddenly remembered the Connate Venerable who had passed by Langya County City half a year ago and came to visit the Venerable Palace.

That person was Venerable Lie Kong.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, the other party had stayed in Langya County City for a few days.

At that time, she was a little curious as to why that person visited her when she didn’t have many interactions with him.

But after all, it was a Venerable paying a visit. Thus, she didn’t think much of it at the time.

Now that she thought about it, there had been many strange things.

Seeing that Venerable Ning Jing’s expression was a little off, Wang Yi couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, is there something wrong?”

Venerable Ning Jing was straightforward and directly told him about Venerable Lie Kong’s visit half a year ago.

When Wang Yi heard this, he frowned as well. However, he discovered something unusual.

His gaze swept across Jiang Zailang and the other two again. His voice was still cold as he said, “The auction for the Body Restoring Flower was a year ago, but the so-called Venerable Lie Kong only arrived in Langya County half a year ago.”

“Tell me, how did Venerable Lie Kong know what happened a year ago, and how did he know that it was my father-in-law who won the bid for the Body Restoring Flower?”

Since he had already decided to expose Venerable Lie Kong, Jiang Zailang went all out and said anxiously, “Lord Venerable, I have evidence, I have evidence!”

Wang Yi’s interest was finally piqued. He wondered what kind of evidence they could produce.

He couldn’t help but say indifferently, “Show me the evidence. As long as you can prove that Venerable Lie Kong gave you the order, your lives will be saved.”

Jiang Zailang and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. The sense of death that had enveloped their hearts finally disappeared. They felt a little weak.

The few of them knew very well that when a supreme expert like Wang Yi spoke, their word would become the law. Or rather, he would not go back on his word. As such, now that he had said it like this, their lives would be saved.

Without the pressure in his heart, Jiang Zailang relaxed and wasn’t as nervous as before. He said respectfully again, “Lord Venerable, the evidence is a recording.”

“It records the conversation between Venerable Lie Kong and me that day. It’s currently being stored in a safe at the Three Absolutes Auction House.”

To be honest, Jiang Zailang suddenly felt very glad that he had a habit of installing listening devices in the living room.

When Venerable Lie Kong personally went to the Auction House that day, the two of them happened to be talking in the living room with listening devices.

At that time, Jiang Zailang had ignored the matter of eavesdropping. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to eavesdrop on a Venerable.

After that, Jiang Zailang remembered the recording and was prepared to destroy it. However, for some strange reason, he saved the recording.

He did not expect that the recording would be able to save his life today. Everything had really been decided by the heavens.
