Chapter 69

The Great Soul Capturing Technique, in essence, is a form of hypnosis.

And in this world, apart from Zhao Hao, probably no one knows that a person can actually be hypnotized a second time.

Without going into details, there is now a world within the *Great Dream Heart Sutra*—*The Hypnotist*.

Zhao Hao had once watched this movie very carefully, and it must be said that it gave him a lot of inspiration.

Especially after practicing the Great Soul Capturing Technique.

Often, what a person displays is not necessarily their true inner self.

And after being hypnotized, they believe this is their true self, but in fact, they may still be pretending.

Zhao Hao understood this principle, but no one else in this world did.

So when Zhao Zhijing admitted to colluding with Kublai Khan, even though the people present were mentally prepared, they still could not help but be shaken.

The way they looked at the group from the Quanzhen Sect became even stranger.

Huang Rong's expression remained unchanged as she continued to ask, "Zhao Zhijing, why did you do this?"

"Why? Why? Haha, if they can do it, why can't I? Even if I didn't agree, the patriarch and the others would still surrender to the Mongols. Since that's the case, why shouldn't I take the credit?" Zhao Zhijing laughed out loud, as if no one else was there.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own consciousness, and everything outside, except for Huang Rong, could not interfere with him.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Great Soul Capturing Technique.

So Zhao Zhijing did not know that his words caused a great shock.

"Zhao Zhijing, you..." Sun Buer immediately drew her sword, wanting to end Zhao Zhijing's life to prevent him from saying anything that could not be undone.

But before Sun Buer could act, Zhongxin had already appeared in front of her, smiling lightly, "Amitabha, Lady Sun, please calm down. Wait until Lady Guo has finished questioning Zhao Zhijing before dealing with him."

Sun Buer glared at Zhongxin with hatred but was powerless.

She was not a match for Zhongxin and had no ability to kill and silence him in front of everyone.

"Huang Rong, you said the patriarch and the others would also surrender to the Mongols? What evidence do you have?" Huang Rong continued to ask.

"Evidence? Haha, what evidence do we need? A long time ago, Master Qiu had already established a good relationship with Temujin. We have had tacit understanding with the Mongols for a long time. Over the years, Master Qiu has twice refused the summons of the Song Dynasty, which is a clear indication of our stance. When the Heroic Assembly was convened, we received an invitation, but the patriarch used the excuse of being unwell to stay away, only sending the least capable Master Hao and Master Sun to participate. Wasn't it because he didn't want to get involved in these matters? The patriarch thought I didn't know, but ha, who could he hide it from? Not just me, but even Junior Brother Zhen knew, otherwise, why would he have children with a Mongol woman?" Zhao Zhijing said.

Sun Buer, upon hearing Zhao Zhijing's words, was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Zhen Zhibing, kneeling on the ground, shrank but did not speak in his defense.

At this point, even Huang Rong had to believe that the Quanzhen Sect indeed had a second heart.

However, Huang Rong did not have any special affection for the Quanzhen Sect, so she would not be blinded by emotion like Guo Jing.

Just as Huang Rong was about to end the questioning, she did not expect Zhao Zhijing to reveal another big secret, which left her speechless.

"Speaking of evidence, I have thought of something. The current prime minister of the Mongols, Yelü Chumai, is highly talented and well-versed, and is deeply trusted by the Mongol Khan."

At this point, both Huang Rong and Guo Jing nodded.

Yelü Chumai was indeed a great talent, far surpassing the Song Dynasty's chancellor Jia Sidao.

Although they were people of the martial world, they had heard of Yelü Chumai's reputation.

"Yelü Chumai has two sons and a daughter. Among them, his second son, Yelü Qi, has been taken in by our Quanzhen Sect. Tell me, with this connection, isn't our position in the Mongols as solid as a rock?" Zhao Zhijing said.

Huang Rong was stunned.

Unlike previous speculations, if this matter is confirmed, the Quanzhen Sect will truly lose its reputation in the world.

This time, the Mongol army's southern campaign was supported by Yelü Chumai.

And he was personally involved in the planning and logistics.

What is the Quanzhen Sect trying to do by secretly taking in the second son of the Mongol prime minister?

Huang Rong felt a chill run down her spine at this thought.

"Zhao Zhijing, you traitor." Sun Buer finally could not hold back her anger.

Zhao Zhijing showed no reaction.

On the other side, Huang Rong finally came to her senses and asked, "Zhao Zhijing, is what you said true?"

"The martial arts cannot be faked. Yelü Qi has a good reputation in the Mongols. A little investigation will reveal the truth," Zhao Zhijing said.

Huang Rong waved her hand, no longer asking more questions.

At this point, everything was clear.

Guo Jing's hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably. He pointed at Sun Buer and asked, "Master Sun, I respect you as a senior. Tell me, is what Zhao Zhijing said true?"

"What is the Quanzhen Sect trying to do?"

By the end, Guo Jing could no longer control his anger.

What Zhao Zhijing said was true, and the power of the Great Soul Capturing Technique, personally performed by Huang Rong, left Guo Jing with no doubt.

So he was even more heartbroken.

"Great Hero Guo, listen to my explanation, there is a reason for this," Sun Buer panicked.

She only said there was a reason, but she could not think of a good reason at the moment.

She was not a quick-witted person, and most of what Zhao Zhijing said could not be denied.

At this moment, Zhao Zhijing also regained his senses.

After a moment, he had already recalled everything that had happened, including what he had said.

Zhao Zhijing's face turned pale. He knew he was finished.

He would never be able to turn things around in this life.

Seeing Zhao Zhijing, Sun Buer's anger flared up. She raised her sword and stepped forward, directly ending Zhao Zhijing's life.

After killing Zhao Zhijing, seeing Zhen Zhibing still kneeling on the ground, Sun Buer felt another wave of anger.

Two useless people had ruined the Quanzhen Sect's major affairs.

Thinking of this, Sun Buer did not hesitate and thrust her sword forward, and Zhen Zhibing met the same fate as Zhao Zhijing.

In less than fifteen minutes, the two most outstanding third-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Zhao Hao clapped his hands and praised, "Killing to silence, Daoist Sun, you are truly skilled. But can you kill everyone here?"

Sun Buer ignored Zhao Hao and bowed to the people around, "Today's matter is complex and cannot be explained in a short time. But the truth will eventually come to light. From today on, the Quanzhen Sect will close its doors and not receive visitors. The truth will be revealed one day."

"You are a fool, don't treat us all as fools. Sun Buer, I give the Quanzhen Sect two choices. First, all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect should go to the front lines and sacrifice themselves to prove their innocence. Second, the Quanzhen Sect should become famous in the world. That's all I have to say." Zhao Hao said decisively.

When doing something, one must do it thoroughly.
