Chapter 533: Behind the Scenes (Part 2)

With a thud, Li Ling was splashed with cold water from his head, and suddenly felt excited. He finally woke up from his sleep. His body moved, and before he could fully open his eyes, his heart sank. His whole body was tightly bound, and he couldn't even move a single point.

At the same time, his mind slowly recovered, remembering what happened before he fell asleep, which made Li Ling feel more nervous and confused. He was all in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes. Why did they even take the medicine to pour out their medicine in one go?

Thinking about the whole story in his heart, Li Ling still opened his eyes, but found that there were a few men in front of him who were smiling and not smiling. Only the torch could shine in a nearby area to see things, and there were black squids everywhere, as if they were in a certain forest.

"You..." As soon as you started, you slapped him in the face, causing Li Ling to let out a muffled groan, and then you heard a vicious threat: "Shut up, dare to shout, you'll cut your tongue!"

Such a fierce performance, coupled with the fact that I am a fisherman, Li Ling immediately chose to keep silent and just glanced around with difficulty, but found that none of the people in front of him knew him, but many eyes were cast at him, and there were deep resentment inside, wishing that he could cut himself into pieces with his eyes.

"Li Ling, right? I think you would never have thought that one day would fall into our hands. Now you can understand that you have repeatedly ruined the great affairs of my Holy Church in the past two years. This time, you will use your heart and soul to sacrifice the true god of the Sun and Moon and brothers who sacrificed and contributed to the great cause of my church!" The person in front of him kept sweeping on Li Ling's body and face, and his tone was full of resentment and murderous intent.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Everyone around them also started to scream in a low voice, full of rhythm and chilling oppressive force, which also made Li Ling's heart sink to the bottom.

He really didn't expect that he would fall to such a point. Even when he was under house arrest in the Governor's Office, he felt that he still had a chance to escape. But now, even if he didn't know where he was, it was naturally even more impossible for Qingxiao and Wan Shenji to appear in time to rescue him. In panic, he didn't even have time to think about how he left the Governor's Office. Maybe this was Wen Ming's arrangement.

As the man in front of him clenched his fists and waved his screams, the surroundings finally stopped. He put the knife to Li Ling's chest, quickly lifted it, and cut his clothes to reveal the skin inside. The tip of the knife gently stroked the flesh. Although there was no blood, it was enough to make Li Ling's hair stand on, and deep fear had grabbed his heart.

The only thing he could do was to say in a deep voice: "You...you have to think clearly. I am the imperial official. If you really kill me, you will never leave alive."

"Ha... Are our Luotian brothers still afraid of being enemies with the government? After so many years, you still have no way to deal with us!" At this moment, he couldn't stop Li Ling from speaking, with a rebellious and cheerful look on his face, "If you have today, it will be the punishment of the true god of the Sun and Moon to sacrifice your heart and soul today. Tomorrow, we will pick Wen Ming's head and take down the entire Jinling City!"

Even at such a critical moment of life and death, Li Ling's body suddenly shook, and a deep sense of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What did he say? Wen Ming is not a member of the Luotian Sect, isn't it that Elder Fire, the mastermind behind the scenes?

"But this doesn't make sense. All the previous evidence clues pointed to him. It was him who caused Jiangnan to fall into chaos. It was him who wanted to make Jiangnan, whose vitality had not yet recovered, and it was him who took me down and wanted to kill me, but what..."

The doubts were full of doubts, and it was impossible for these guys around him to tell him the answer. This feeling of being in the situation, as if he had touched the truth but was a little bit worse, was so uncomfortable that Li Ling began to forget that he was facing the threat of death.

Seeing his shocked look, the man opposite him still smiled disdainfully. Li Ling was already a dead person in his eyes, and even if he guessed something, it would be useless. Now, just wait for the "they" to arrive, he can do this important sacrifice.

After a while, a few strange insects came from the darkness ahead, and then someone here sucked his mouth and said the same name. After a moment, several people walked out of the darkness and slowly appeared in front of Li Ling.

Li Ling looked at these figures that were still half hidden in the dark, and vaguely felt that some of them were familiar with each other, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at them. Finally, as the visitor stepped into the fire, his appearance was exposed, which made Li Ling startled again: "You..."

"Mr. Li, we're meeting again." The first person looked at him with a smile, and the person who came side by side with him looked at Li Ling up and down with hatred: "Li Ling, you finally fell into my hands!"

"Xiang Brahmatian, Xiang Governor..." Li Ling said in a stern voice. Although he had only met him earlier today and had not even had any further conversations, he still remembered this handful of military officers in Jiangnan.

At the same time, a bold guess also emerged from his heart: "You... are Elder Luo Tian Cult Huo, the mastermind behind the chaos in Jiangnan..."

"Did you understand it? But it's too late, right?" Xiang Fantian grinned with some satisfaction, and his white teeth flashed with palpitations under the firelight, as if he was about to swallow Li Ling in one mouthful.

At this moment, Li Ling quickly solved the many questions that aroused when he knew that Wen Ming was not the mastermind behind the scenes. In a sense, the governor Xiang Fantian, who held military power, was indeed more likely to gain greater benefits in the chaos in Jiangnan than the governor, and even subverted the entire court's control over Jiangnan.

As long as his troops leave Jinling and attack everywhere in the name of quelling the rebellion, burn, kill and loot all the way with deliberate indulgence towards Brahma, they will push the entire Jiangnan into an irreversible abyss. Moreover, in this way, the reputation of the imperial official army will be completely corrupted by him. Once other troops from the imperial court arrive, they may not face the first thing they have to do with the rebels, but the local armed forces formed by the people of Jiangnan to protect themselves.

At that time, the real opportunity of the Luotian Sect came. They could gather these local armed forces under the banner of making decisions for the people, and then turn around and take down Jinling City, which had already been empty and unstable, and was also unstable.

This is the real plan for the chaos in Jiangnan.

However, their wishful thinking went wrong at the beginning, and was stopped by the Governor Wen Ming, which prevented the Jinling defenders from leaving the garrison. They also left Xiang Fantian, the real mastermind behind the scenes, in Jinling.

Why are the rebels organized by the Luotian Sect so vulnerable? Li Ling had never understood this question before, but now he also understood it. Because these rebels are not the ones they want to rely on to seize the entire Jiangnan area. What they really want to get is the control of the regular official army.

However, Wen Ming's efforts to stop Li Ling and others emerged, especially the proactive attacks of the Shanzi Camp and other government troops, which finally failed their overall plan. Except for the severe damage to the vitality in Jiangnan, the Luotian Sect failed to get even the benefits.

That's why they tried their best to steal themselves, but they did it to revenge themselves for their big trouble!

Many thoughts came one after another. In the end, Li Ling finally understood his situation and his expression became more and more depressed: "So that's it, no wonder... But even if you kill me now, your conspiracy has failed. Maybe soon, you will die with me!"

"At this time, you can still say these words. Li Ling, you are indeed brave!" Xiang Fantian smiled again, and the man with a clear appearance around him smiled coldly: "Is Li Ling your last words? But what I want to tell you is that as long as you die, things will turn around."

This sentence finally made Li Ling focus on this person, because he felt a deeper resentment towards him than Xiang Brahma. After a few closer glances, he also realized that he seemed to have seen this person before, but the feeling was vague: "You..."

"Mr. Li County, you are so noble that you are so forgot about it. Last year, you made me leave my hometown and could only hide from me and hide my name until today. Now I can't even remember me. After all, you and I have met in Hengzhou Prefecture."

Just these few words made Li Ling's gaze suddenly shrink. He finally remembered who the other party was: "Zhao Chenghuang!"

This man who looks not much different from ordinary scholars, but has a frigid face. He is the Luo Tian Sect, who has never been willing to let Li Ling go, sent people to attack him several times, and almost led to the chaos in the southwest. He is one of the four elders, the Earth Elder, and Zhao Chenghuang!

This is the second time Li Ling and Zhao Chenghuang met in Hengzhou Prefecture a few years ago. But the entanglement between the two has been for several years. At this moment, there was a sense of jealousy when they met, and their eyes collided fiercely. But then, Zhao Chenghuang smiled. Now Li Ling has completely fallen into his hands and is about to behead him. Why should he begrudgingly with a dead person?

So, Zhao Chenghuang waved his hand and said, "Let's start!"

With this command, the sound of Fangbing was filled with a coaxing sound. A large ball of fire suddenly appeared, illuminating a stone statue there. Li Ling guessed that it should be the so-called statue of the true god of the Sun and Moon.

Sure enough, many Luotian scholars around him gathered quickly and kowtowed to the stone statue, saying that the true god was blessed, and then they all muttered words, probably praying.
