The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Ye Anping looked at Liang Zhu calmly.

He wanted to confirm whether Liang Zhu was the unknown guard who saved the Second Princess.

Even though this matter had no impact on his plans, he actually wished to befriend Liang Zhu.

When he first met him, he thought that this man was nothing but a very cold killer.

However, after seeing him in the Dragon House, he noticed the fatherly side of this cold killer.

Ye Anping was not too fond of socializing, but he truly wanted to make friends with this Liang Zhu.

"Brother Liang, when the Heavenly Sacrifice was held for the Second Princess, a guard switched the real princess and escaped with her from the Central Region.

Is this person you?

" Liang Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and interrupted him.

"Sixth Brother, how do you know this?

" Ye Anping let out a small smile.

"I heard about it.

" "Heh...

" Liang Zhu sneered as he looked at his sixth brother up and down.

"The people in the Central Region who knew about this matter are all dead.

Back then, in order to block the news, the Justice Division killed all the people who participated in the Heavenly Sacrifice.

" "So...

are you that man?

" Liang Zhu shook his head and saw that the six cultivators around the alchemy furnace wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

He immediately pointed his sword-finger hand and used a thunder technique, instantly burning the six of them to a crisp.

"Why do you ask me since you know about this?

" "I just wanted to confirm it.

" Ye Anping replied, spreading his hands.

"I'm not omniscient either.

Although I know quite a lot of things, I only had a rough idea about this.

" "Huh...

" Liang Zhu heaved a sigh.

"Indeed, Ating is the Second Princess of the Imperial Sect.

I took her with me when I escaped from the Central Region.

" "So...

how did you save her?

" "It was the Second Princess' personal maid who found me and handed me a dead baby and asked me to exchange the baby girl with Ating.

I agreed.

" "A dead baby?

" "Well...

I don't know the origin of the dead baby, but I can guess it.

" Liang Zhu spoke with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"The Empress probably handled this matter.

Only she and the Emperor knew that I was responsible for sending the Second Princess to the altar.

" This was a detail that Ye Anping didn't know.

He raised his chin and thought for a moment.

There was no plot in the game about the Central Region Emperor and Empress.

After the Emperor died at the end of the Imperial Sect incident, the Empress seemed to have left the Central Region and went somewhere unknown.

However, if this plot was to develop...

The Empress probably went to find the Second Princess.

In the end, she must have found the "nameless guard" and then, together with him, took care of the princess until she was grown up...

Thinking of this, Ye Anping blinked and raised his eyebrows.

"Haha...

Brother Liang, it seems that Ating will have more than one adoptive mother this year.

" ?

Liang Zhu didn't get his meaning.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What the hell are you talking about?

" "Nothing.

" Ye Anping shrugged.

"It's getting late.

My sister and the others are probably getting impatient.

" Liang Zhu watched Ye Anping turn around and walk toward the entrance, then followed him.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What on earth did you come to do in the Central Region?

" "If I didn't come, that old woman would have kicked my butt.

" ?

"Old woman?

" Liang Zhu was confused.

"Who?

" "It's a secret.

As for what I came to the Central Region for?

" Ye Anping thought for a while, then said flatly, "Rebellion?

" "Rebellion?

Do you want to take action against the Emperor of the Central Region?

He is a Void Returning cultivator.

" Ye Anping glanced at him.

"How would I dare to fight with the Emperor of the Central Region?

I am just a simple cultivator with two spiritual roots.

" "Then...

" "But there's help.

" "Help?

" "Yup.

" Liang Zhu frowned.

Help to go against a Void Returning cultivator?

Where did he find such powerful help?

"Who?

" "The Demon King, Hu Mu.

" Liang Zhu's eyes widened.

"Who?

" "A cranky fox spirit, if I may say so?

" "...

" Liang Zhu was speechless and narrowed his eyes.

He knew that Ye Anping had a shrewd mind.

He had seen how he had plotted against Li Feng at the Dragon House, but...

the Demon King?

However, after a moment of silence, he felt relieved, then sneered.

"Oh, it seems that the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother didn't die in vain.

" ?

Ye Anping glanced at Liang Zhu and felt that he was blaming him, but he didn't say anything and continued to the entrance of the cave.

Walking out of the cave, the scenery outside brightened his mood.

The waterfall in the bamboo forest was much more comfortable than the depressing Alchemy Chamber in the cave.

Ye Anping took a deep breath of fresh air, and just when he was about to continue walking, he heard the soft ring of the bell in the storage bag again.

Jingle jingle~~ Feeling a little helpless, he looked around but found nothing except the waterfall, rocks, and some weeds and shrubs.

Liang Zhu saw Ye Anping suddenly looking around and asked, "What's wrong?

Is anyone there?

" "It should be Miss Immortal Thief?

She must have overheard the whole thing just now.

" Ye Anping answered, then tensed his throat and asked loudly, "Miss Immortal Thief, can you come out to talk?!!

" Unfortunately, no one responded.

He only heard the tinkling of the Heavenly Return Bell.

Since Su Waner didn't come out, he didn't insist.

Anyway, after she heard what he had said to Liang Zhu, she would definitely continue to follow them on the road, pretending to be "Miss Su".

Seeing the bamboo forest scenery, the expression on Liang Zhu's face also eased a little.

After a while, he asked, "What am I going to do now?

" Ye Anping paused and, worried that Su Waner was still eavesdropping, looked around and motioned him to lean over.

Liang Zhu slowly leaned over.

"What?

" "After returning to the Heavenly Gate City, you go back to the Justice Division and send the Core Formation female cultivator that was with us just now to the Heavenly Prison.

" "...

Huh?

" "When the time comes, blame her for the death of the Inspector Jiang He.

Then, you will have two achievements.

One is catching the criminal who killed the Inspector, and the other is catching the Immortal Thief.

After that, you ask to see the deputy commander of the Justice Division.

" "And then?

" "Tell him what you saw and heard in the First Spring Town, and he will know what to do.

That man is an honest and upright official.

He is the only person who holds a high position in the Justice Division who does not know about the Heavenly Reverse Pill.

" Liang Zhu frowned slightly after hearing this.

Putting together what Ye Anping had said about the Demon Clan, he roughly guessed what he wanted to do.

"Are you saying...

" Ye Anping picked up the conversation.

"Well, when the Demon Clan arrives at the Heavenly Gate, I need someone to open the city gate and bring the Demon King into the city.

And when the Central Region Emperor is about to die, I also need someone leading the Justice Division to suppress the Heavenly Gate Soul Formation so the old lady can slap the Emperor without any worries.

" "...

Old lady?

" Ye Anping nodded but then warned him, "I'm calling her 'old lady' but you must not call her that.

She should be arriving at Heavenly Gate City soon.

You should see her when you return to the Justice Division.

" "...

" "Remember.

Don't call her 'old lady' to her face.

"
