Chapter 301 Crisis Warning(1/2)
Although the others did not speak, they remained silent as always.
But from the changes in each other's energy, it can be seen that the atmosphere at this moment is much more harmonious than before.
Although the two sides are far from completely trusting each other, the five Qingye people are no longer guarding against "Qihuangzi".
Qing Ye asked: "Are the anomalies in Wumenghai and Kurosawa Plain the same?"
"Qihuangzi" nodded: "Well, yes."
"Did you discover it yourself, or did you find it from inheritance or some classics?"
"I discovered it." "Qihuangzi" said without thinking.
At first glance, it would be most appropriate to attribute this answer to "inheritance" or some other means rather than discovering it myself.
But the principle upheld by "Qihuangzi" is that if you can tell the truth, try not to tell lies.
Even if you use some words and let the other party figure it out, it is better than telling a lie.
"How was it discovered?"
"Qihuangzi" asked:
"Haven't you already determined that the abnormal numbers of third-order monsters in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawa Plain are caused by me?"
Qing Ye nodded slowly and said thoughtfully: "So, you discovered such an anomaly while searching for the third-order demon?"
"Qihuangzi" nodded.
Qing Ye had a thoughtful look in his eyes. After a while, he asked:
"The altar that exists in Wumeng Sea and Kurosawa Plain should be in a very hidden location, right?"
This is an easy judgment to make. If the location was not hidden, they would have discovered it long ago.
Qingxuan Sect has some sect missions targeting the three evil bloodlines every year. After accumulating year by year, Qingxuanzong has the most comprehensive information about the three evil bloodlines.
That's why Qingye is so determined.
"Qihuangzi" nodded: "Yes."
Qingye said: "Then it must have taken a lot of effort to find them, right?"
"It can be said that it is luck to find something in a certain evil vein, but to find it in three major evil veins at the same time, it cannot be explained by luck."
"Qihuangzi" nodded: "Yes, it did cost me a lot of energy."
"So……"
Saying that, Qingye paused and looked at "Qihuangzi".
"I'm really curious about what made him willing to invest so much time and energy in this?"
Qingye looked at "Qihuangzi" with curiosity on his face.
Here, there is a truth that does not need to be proved - for monks standing at their level, seeking the truth is more important than anything else.
Occasionally you can have fun and relax, but you will never devote a lot of time and energy to it.
Because people with this kind of attitude can never reach their level, even if they are really geniuses in cultivation and have extraordinary talents. This has been personally verified by countless geniuses who have broken wings in the Middle Way.
And this is what makes Qingye confused.
There was not just one place that confused him, but two places.
Why did "Qihuangzi" spend so much time and energy hunting so many third-order monsters in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Blackpool Plains?
The corpse of the third-level demon is certainly valuable as a raw material, but that is also to other pill-forming monks.
Their road to forming elixirs may have just begun. At least there are still many roads ahead of them that have not been completed. They must rely on the steps built by external resources to move up step by step.
But for those of them whose cultivation has reached the end of pill formation, these third-level demons are no longer qualified to serve as "steps" for them.
There is no point in investing too much time and energy into this.
It can't be to contribute to other people in the "Qihuang Sect", right?
Or is it doing good deeds for the Qingxuan Sect or the monks in the Qingxuan Domain, or is it the kind that is done in secret without leaving a name?
Isn’t this nonsense!
No matter what you think, it is unreasonable!
And this was just the first level of doubt in Qingye's heart.
Just as Qing Ye said, "Qihuangzi" accidentally discovered an abnormal altar during such activities. It makes sense that he found all three altars located in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawahara. This "hit"
"Rate" is really a bit too outrageous.
You must know that the altar is not only hidden in its location, but also cannot be inspected with large-scale abilities such as spiritual consciousness. Only visual inspection or methods close to visual inspection are effective.
The radius of Tianqi Mountain exceeds 20,000 miles, the Wumeng Sea exceeds 30,000 miles, and the area of Kurosawa Plain exceeds 40,000 miles...
What is the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?!
"Qihuangzi" obviously also understood what Qingye was doubting. If he could not dispel their doubts on these two points, then Qingye and others' trust in him would be very limited.
He smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple. The first altar I found was the one on Tianqi Mountain. This was purely a coincidence.
Wumenghai and Kurosawahara are the results of my purposeful search."
Qingye nodded.
"As for secretly cutting off the number of third-order monsters, one is by the way, and the other is, I really want to help you reduce your burden, and I hope that the beast tide can calm down as soon as possible."
Qingye nodded again, but the doubts in his eyes were not completely eliminated.
On the one hand, he could tell that "Qihuangzi" was not telling lies, but on the other hand, "Qihuangzi"'s answer still failed to clear up the doubts in his heart, and instead added more confusion.
"Qi Huangzi" looked at Qing Ye, then at the other four people who were also deep in thought, and laughed.
"I know what you are worried about, and there is nothing you can't say.
The reason why I did this is very simple, because I have an inextricable bond with the Lihen Cult.
Since I have discovered such a secret related to the Lihen Cult, of course I have to get to the bottom of it."
"This is also the reason why I secretly cut off a large number of third-level demons.
Since there is such a secret arrangement, and it is still the work of the Lihen Sect, I hope that the attention of the Qingxuan Domain cultivation community will not be entangled in this beast tide for a long time, and the sooner we can get rid of it, the better."
Qingye nodded, thinking of some investigations that Menli had done on the "Qihuang Sect".
The investigation conclusion also confirmed that the "Qihuang Sect" is indeed very at odds with the Lihen Sect.
Now it seems that the conflict between the "Qihuang Sect" and the Lihen Sect is even greater than they originally imagined.
This is not a bad thing for Qingxuanzong.
At this moment, the old man Qing Yao on the side looked at "Qi Huangzi" and said:
"Years ago, Xuanyuan submitted a list to the sect, and all the dozens of strongholds operated by the Lihen Sect throughout the Qingxuan Domain were on it.
According to what I learned, the source of that list came from the hands of your apprentice ‘Ge Ping’.”
"This matter must have been done under your instruction, right?" Qing Yao asked.
"Qihuangzi" nodded: "That's right."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue and said: "You have done a good job in your homework. You guys have dug up such things...what else do you know?"
After listening to his answer, "Qihuangzi" could clearly feel that there was another significant change in the attitude of several people towards him.
Also, that intelligence sharing almost completely eliminated the Lihen Sect's years of operation in Qingxuan Territory.
Moreover, if Qingxuanzong had not taken the initiative to expose it, "Qihuangzi" would obviously not mention the matter again.
If this doesn't prove "Qi Huangzi's" camp orientation, then there really is no one trustworthy in this world.
After hearing Qihuangzi's question, Qingye didn't hide it and said:
"We also suspect that the person who intercepted and killed Yanzhuang in the Gray Mist Mountains was also the work of your 'Qihuangmen'."
He did not say that it was from "Qihuangzi" himself, because through time retrieval, the battle scene was restored. Although the person who did it was extraordinary in strength, there was still a clear gap between the peak of pill formation.
In their judgment, that person should be a "Qihuang Sect" backbone whose cultivation was at the peak of the eighth level of Dan Jie, or who had just entered the ninth level of Dan Jie.
When this matter was revealed to his face, "Qihuangzi" had a look of surprise on his face, and finally nodded helplessly:
"This matter is indeed related to me, but... don't publicize this matter, but remember to keep it a secret from me!"
Seeing his response, Qing Ye also showed a clear smile on his face, nodded and said: "Don't worry, no one else in the sect knows about this except a few of us."
Having said this, a joking look appeared on his face and he joked:
"It turns out that we are still a little puzzled. If you, the Qihuang Sect, have such ability, why do you still hide it so tightly?
Even back then, when everyone was fighting over these third-level spiritual lands, you were able to hold back and not take the lead.
Now I understand that I have a feud with the Lihen Sect on the one hand, and I also have a feud with the Xingxiu Palace on the other.
You can’t go up, you can’t go down, so don’t you have to hide it more tightly?!”
Facing Qingye's teasing, "Qihuangzi" shook his head and smiled bitterly.
