Chapter 331: Chapter 35 Taiyi Sword Sect
Who exactly was it?
This question emerged simultaneously in the minds of all the cultivators present.
“Pavilion Master, the one who killed your incarnation, did you clearly see who it was?” King Qing Mei asked.
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master didn’t say much but just formed a mysterious Spirit Seal with his hands.
The incarnation, constructed through the Art of Incarnation, immediately turned into specks of stardust, floating in the air and transforming into a light screen.
Displayed on the light screen was the exact scene of the Spirit Art incarnation being attacked.
An unknown beast, shrouded in black mist and hard to see through, suddenly appeared, transforming into a sharp arrow that pierced directly through the incarnation’s brow.
Its purpose was simple, to directly destroy the incarnation’s Primordial Spirit, obliterating both its form and spirit.
However, when this unknown beast realized the Primordial Spirit it expected did not exist, it immediately sensed something was wrong. In an instant, it flickered and transformed into a cloud of black smoke, dissipating on the spot, leaving no trace behind.
“This…” King Qing Mei’s eyes tightened, feeling somewhat troubled.
Even in the most hurried response, the insider from the Netherworld did not leave any loopholes.
He glanced at the abandoned child of the Netherworld, who was tightly bound by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master’s Divine Skills, and his brow furrowed even more.
“Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Realm are being treated as throwaways, even managing to reach into the high ranks of the Taoist Sect; the Netherworld’s infiltration in the Human Race for twenty thousand years has indeed been fruitful,” the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master said calmly.
“So, until the true identity of that Netherworld insider is revealed, we cultivators present are to be treated as suspects?” the Taibai Sword Master asked, quite calm.
“Although I am sorry, under these circumstances, that is indeed the only way to handle this,” the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master apologized. “My apologies, I hope you all can understand.”
Then, with a thought, the space around him suddenly stagnated, and countless golden runes emerged, swirling about.
At the moment these runes appeared, all the Spiritual Power and everything within this space seemed isolated, under the control of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master.
This was the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master’s Dao Domain.
The Dao Domain encompassed even the deputy leaders of their Pavilion, including the Shui Yue Pavilion Master.
The expressions of the seven great Taoist Sect cultivators changed, seemingly struggling with something. After a moment, an airborne saint spoke in a deep voice, “If it were anyone else, I would definitely not surrender without a fight, but you, Pavilion Master, I can trust.
Since I cannot prove right now that I am not a person from the Netherworld, I will temporarily let you arrange the proceedings, hoping that the Pavilion Master can quickly find out the identity of the Netherworld insider and clear my name.”
“I never thought I would be suspected to be a person from the Netherworld,” the Chang Geng Sect Leader shook his head and took a deep breath, helplessly saying, “Pavilion Master, please clarify the truth quickly so you can clear our names.”
“Certainly,” the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master nodded slightly and bowed lightly to the seven great Taoist Sect cultivators, “I appreciate your cooperation, and I thank you all here in advance.”
King Qing Mei’s gaze shifted to the abandoned child of the Netherworld, feeling somewhat dejected.
In fact, their only clue at present was this abandoned child of the Netherworld; however, it remained completely silent, and he and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master had regrettably had to take a risky step.
Fortunately, the outcome was favorable.
Yet, they had once again fallen into their previous dilemma.
To determine which of the seven cultivators was actually the insider from the Netherworld, the clue was still only the abandoned child of the Netherworld before them.
…..
Debate Dao City, an unknown place, where several cultivators, their faces shrouded in black mist, gathered together.
“Shentu Mansion Master has been placed under house arrest,” one said.
“Has Shentu Mansion Master’s identity been exposed?” another inquired.
“It seems not yet. According to the information I have, the person under house arrest isn’t just Shentu Mansion Master; seven great cultivators from the Taoist Sect are also under house arrest.
Thus, it is apparent they haven’t yet discovered the true identity of Shentu Mansion Master.” One cultivator said in a hoarse voice, “In the coming period, we must be even more cautious and not expose any flaws.”
“Yes, if we slip up now, not only would we be risking our own lives, but it would also implicate Shentu Mansion Master. Everyone should understand the severity of this situation, restrain your subordinates during this time.”
“Understood,” responded the other cultivators.
“Hall Master, should we proceed as normal with our plan for the Seven Domains Debate Dao?”
“Proceed as normal,” responded the cultivator known as the Hall Master, his tone icy, “Great Xia has foolishly decided to offer the Great Xia Scripture as a reward for the Seven Domains Debate Dao.
As long as our people can prevail in the Seven Domains Debate Dao and secure the Great Xia Scripture, and then pass it on to the Demon Race for our Demon Lords to analyze, we might find vulnerabilities in the cultivation system of the Dao Master of Xia.”
“They think that our purpose is to disrupt the Seven Domains Debate Dao, little do they know that what we actually desire is the Great Xia Scripture!” another spectral-faced cultivator said with a sinister laugh: “Without the Dao Master of Xia, what use is it for the Human Race to cultivate more powerful cultivators?
To think they would offer the cultivation technique of the Dao Master of Xia as a reward in order to nurture cultivators, how foolish!”
“Don’t get ahead of yourselves,” the Hall Master scolded sharply, seemingly displeased with the conceit of the others.
“Rest assured, Hall Master, with Yinhe stepping forward in this edition of the Seven Domains Debate Dao, how could a group of juniors, none of whom have more than fifty years of cultivation, possibly fail? The first place is certain to be ours!” the spectral-faced cultivator said nonchalantly in response to the Hall Master’s stern warning.
The fact was such that, even though Yinhe had to suppress his cultivation to meet the conditions for participating in the Seven Domains Debate Dao, using a physical body that wasn’t very powerful,
with Yinhe’s abilities, he couldn’t see any reason why Yinhe would lose to these juniors of the Human Race.
…
Inside a wooden building.
Since he hadn’t met King Qing Mei, Mo Yan had chatted with Lu Qingshan for a while and then took his leave very perceptively.
All cultivators were currently resting and recuperating, preparing for the group elimination matches in three days, so it wasn’t good to disturb Lu Qingshan further.
However, just after Mo Yan had left, the wooden building unexpectedly welcomed another visitor.
“May I know who you are?” Lu Qingshan asked as he looked at the black-robed cultivator at the doorway, his heart tense as he invited him into the building.
He couldn’t discern the cultivation realm of this person.
This indicated that the black-robed cultivator’s cultivation was far superior to his.
With a warm smile, the black-robed cultivator said, “My name is Zhuan Zhu Grand Honor, an elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect.”
Lu Qingshan was taken aback and vaguely guessed the intent of Zhuan Zhu Grand Honor’s visit but kept his expression largely unchanged as he bowed and said, “I’ve met Zhuan Zhu Grand Honor.”
“No need for such courtesy,” Zhuan Zhu Grand Honor waved his hand dismissively and got straight to the point, “My visit here is quite straightforward— to invite you to join our Taiyi Sword Sect.”
