Chapter 120 Undercurrent

Everyone's eyes fell on Li An.

Even Jiang Cheng, the palace manager, said, "It's most suitable for Zuo Cixi to go."

"If you can accomplish this great feat, it's not impossible to aspire to be the chief in the future--"

Promise directly!

Li An's heart moved, and he keenly sensed something, and thought about it instantly.

It's mainly Jiang Cheng!

He didn't feel any demonic energy on Jiang Cheng.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng was willing to let him go to Baihu City...

But once he left Tianyang City, the control of the Demon Cult over him would not be that strong, and he would have a chance to escape along the way!

This conflicts with the Demon Cult's "pig raising" strategy!

Therefore, there are two possibilities for Jiang Cheng to let him go:

First, Jiang Cheng is also a member of the Yin Yang Demon Cult, but the Yin Yang Demon Cult is not afraid of him escaping at all, and can firmly control him along the way.

Secondly, Jiang Cheng is not a member of the Yin-Yang Demon Cult, or rather, he is a member of the Demon Cult but does not know the plans of the Third Princess and others, and does not know that Li An has been reserved by the Third Princess and others as the furnace tripod, so his strategy conflicts with the other party.

Li An thinks... it is probably the second point.

Because, over the years, the Third Princess has been monitoring him all the time.

How come she is willing to let him go now when she is keeping such a close eye on him?

Is it possible that the Third Princess is the only one in the Zhenbei Palace who is a member of the Demon Cult? And the Prince behind Jiang Cheng is not?

Or, the Prince is also a member of the Demon Cult, but he does not know what the Third Princess did?

At present, Li An cannot guess it.

However, it is obvious that the intentions of the two sides are different!

The Third Princess is going to use Li An as a furnace tripod, but the Prince represented by Jiang Cheng is not aware of this, and is not even aware of Li An's identity?

This is... possible.

In every force, there will be various interest groups and different factions, and it is normal for the interests to be inconsistent.

Jiang Cheng and everyone present would never have thought that Jiang Cheng's one or two words would allow Li An to keenly perceive so much.

This is the experience and benefit brought by several lifetimes. For beings at this level, every word is the interest demand of a force. As long as it can be accurately analyzed, the contradictions and grievances between different forces can be grasped!

Thinking of this, Li An finally gritted his teeth, "Zuo Wen is willing to serve the palace!"

He agreed!

In any case, being able to leave the city is an opportunity.

Grasp it first.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Zuo Cixi——"

Qin Xuan smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "No, this trip will definitely be successful, so it should be Zuo Cixi, hahahaha..."

She laughed heartily, and others laughed along.

Li An frowned slightly, Qin Xuan... This is intentional.

Put him on the fire...

He has noticed that Xu Changkong, Mo Rong and others all showed displeasure in their eyes, but they were just forcing a smile!

...

In the next few months, the Treasure Pavilion has been preparing for this matter.

Li An is particularly concerned.

After all, this trip is indeed unpredictable.

What surprised him was that the Pavilion Master Qin Xuan personally arranged five foundation-building masters, and it was not enough to arrange five foundation-building masters, and she also asked her personal maid, Cai'er, to escort them.

Cai'er is a fake pill master!

In addition, the palace should also send a real pill master to escort them.

Safety should be guaranteed.

To put it bluntly, although Li An's participation is also very important, he only plays the role of "endorsing" the treasure as a treasure appraiser. The real boss must be the Jindan master sent by the palace.

"My Lord, the third princess is waiting for you in the study."

That day, Li An came back from the Treasure Pavilion, and the doorman reported in a low voice.

Li An was startled and walked quickly into the study.

The third princess was casually reading a book. When she saw Li An coming in, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Congratulations, Zuo Cixi."

Li An said, "The princess has praised me. Zuo Wen has nothing to be happy about!"

"If I can return safely from Baihu City this time, I can become the chief treasure appraiser. Isn't that a great thing?"

Li An said, "All this is thanks to the princess. If it weren't for the princess's support, how could Zuo Wen be here today?"

The third princess smiled and said, "I came here for this matter."

"Please give your orders, princess!"

"The things this time are too precious and will be accompanied by danger. First, it is very likely that someone will kill us on the way. Second, in Baihu City, although Baihu Zhenren is already a Jindan strongman, there may be no one who dares to take risks."

The Third Princess said, "It can be said that there are crises everywhere."

Li An frowned, and a trace of sorrow appeared on his face, "Princess, can you please help me and ask someone else in the pavilion to go to Baihu City?"

"This trip is indeed too dangerous..."

The Princess shook her head, "Since Manager Jiang has already chosen you, I can't intervene. However, you don't have to worry too much. I still have some ways to keep you safe..."

Li An hurriedly said, "Princess, please teach me!"

The Third Princess took out something and handed it to Li An, saying, "Take this jade talisman."

Li An took the blood-colored jade talisman. As soon as he got it, he realized that the mysterious demonic energy in his body was trembling slightly with a wave that even his consciousness could not capture!

"This is a communication jade talisman. If you are in danger, you can use it immediately. I have secretly sent someone to follow you. If you are in danger, someone will naturally save you."

"In addition, as long as you arrive at Baihu City safely, you can rest assured. I have some people there who can help you at any time."

The third princess was very calm.

But Li An's heart had sunk.

This communication jade talisman is indeed useful.

But as long as this communication jade talisman is in his hand, the third princess can also monitor his position.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this communication jade talisman just caused the fluctuation of the mysterious demonic energy in his body, which means... the demon cult can indeed monitor the demonic energy in his body.

That is to say, even if he changes his appearance and escapes on the way, he can't get rid of the demon cult.

It may even directly lead to a fatal disaster!

Sure enough, the demon cult finally chose a "pig" like him, how could they easily let him run out of the "pigsty"?

"Thank you, princess!"

He spoke gratefully.

The third princess left. ...

"Another warning..."

Li An couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, the Demon Cult is now in a state of guessing and guarding against him.

The Demon Cult cannot confirm whether Li An has discovered the demonic energy in his body.

So, their chess pieces are one open and one hidden.

On the surface, the Third Princess takes care of him in various ways.

Secretly, there are various hints and warnings.

If Li An has not discovered the demonic energy in his body, then Li An will definitely not feel this warning and hint, and everything will be happy.

If Li An knows everything, then the Demon Cult is just like telling him that he was eaten to death by the Demon Cult.

No matter what, Li An can't escape from their palm.

Of course, Li An feels that most of the people on the Demon Cult side think that Li An has not discovered the demonic energy, and doing so much is more of a cautious precaution.

However, none of this matters anymore.

The current situation is very clear, Baihu City must go, and it is difficult to escape.

The strategy to break the situation is still to endure.

When he completely refines the evil spirit in his body, he can then swim to the sea and fly to the sky!

"However, it is similar to what I guessed. It seems that there is a gap between the third princess and the prince representing Jiangcheng..."

According to his test, Li An's going to Baihu City was obviously a bit beyond the third princess's expectations.

It should be the prince who accidentally ruined her plan.

...

At the same time.

In a secret room in the city.

"Are you ready?"

Qin Xuan, the Pavilion Master, asked calmly. Cai'er said: "Master, please rest assured. As long as the opportunity arises... he will never return to the Treasure Pavilion alive."

Qin Xuan nodded: "The news has been spread secretly. Just rest assured. I will create opportunities for you when the time comes. You should be more efficient."

Cai'er nodded, but she still had a worried look on her face, "Master, will we destroy the grand plan of the palace by doing this?"

"Grand plan?"

Qin Xuan showed a trace of sarcasm on her face, "If the grand plan of the palace succeeds, can my son become the chief treasure appraiser?"

The loss of the palace is not important to her at all. What is important is to maintain her own prosperity and wealth and arrange a way out for her son.

...

Half a month later.

The group of people from the Treasure Pavilion set out from Tianyang City and headed for Baihu City!

...
