Qin Lang was not interested in the secrets of Taoism. He only cared about the background of the two evil Taoists. However, it was obvious that Immortal Shui Jing could not provide him with the exact identity of the two people. He could only give a vague answer.
The Qingcheng Sect was only one of the twelve sects of Taoism. Apart from the other eleven sects, Taoism had the biggest power — the Shendao Sect. The Shendao Sect represented Taoism and controlled the twelve sects of Taoism. However, even Immortal Shui Jing did not know the true strength of the Shendao Sect. He did not even know where the mountain gate of the Shendao Sect was. The only thing he was sure of was that the people from the Shendao Sect were extremely powerful.
In Immortal Shui Jing's opinion, only the people from the Shendao Sect could kidnap someone from Anrong City to Yunmeng Mountain in a short time.
"The Shendao Sect. Is that your answer?"
Qin Lang was obviously not satisfied with this answer. However, he knew that Immortal Shui Jing had tried his best. Moreover, he had a good impression of Immortal Shui Jing, so he could not fight with him. He could only be patient and say, "Immortal, your answer is too vague. Why don't you find a way to contact the people from the Shendao Sect? I can pay you —"
"That's impossible!" Immortal Shui Jing directly dispelled Qin Lang's idea. "The people from the Shendao Sect always contact us, not the other way around. So, it's almost impossible to know anything about them."
"So, the twelve sects of Taoism are completely suppressed by the Shendao Sect?"
Qin Lang's words obviously stabbed Immortal Shui Jing's sore spot. However, this old man's ability to maintain his composure was extraordinary. He immediately calmed down. Qin Lang said, "Strength is respected. It is the same for Taoism. Now that the Shendao Sect controls all the people of Taoism, they are extraordinarily powerful. We can only bow down to them. Fortunately, they do not interfere with us — "
Realizing that he had said too much, Immortal Shui Jing hurriedly changed the topic. "Mr. Qin, I have said all I can. There are millions of Taoist disciples. I have no choice but to hand over these two people. Moreover, given their strength, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. I hope you can understand. "
Qin Lang nodded. "I completely understand. However, I'm a little curious. The Divine Dao Sect controls the 12 sects of Taoism. Just using force to intimidate them isn't enough, right? The way to control them is nothing more than a combination of kindness and power. I'm afraid that just using force isn't enough. Does that mean that the Divine Dao Sect has given you other benefits? "
"This concerns the secret of our sect and has nothing to do with Mr Qin's matter. Forgive me for not being able to tell you." An unnatural expression flashed across Immortal Shui Jing's face.
"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore." Qin Lang stood up and said goodbye.
After Qin Lang left, an old Taoist priest appeared in the room where Immortal Shui Jing was and asked, "Shui Jing, have you come to an agreement with this' little madman '?"
"It's a done deal." Perfected Shui Jing's tone was a little uncertain. "However, I'm sure that he won't let this go. He might even cause trouble for the Divine Dao Sect!"
"That has nothing to do with us." The old Taoist priest said, "We didn't leak any other information about the Divine Dao Sect, so this isn't considered betraying the Divine Dao Sect. Whatever Qin Lang does in the future is between him and the Divine Dao Sect."
"You're right, Grand Elder." Immortal Shui Jing nodded.
The Taoist sects in the world were one. These words sounded nice, but Immortal Shui Jing knew very well that it was just a cliché. The 12 sects of Taoism in the Jianghu all had their own ulterior motives. Above them was the Divine Dao Sect, which was known as the pillar of Taoism. However, Immortal Shui Jing and the entire Qingcheng Sect actually didn't want to be suppressed by the Divine Dao Sect. It was just that under the Divine Dao Sect's combination of kindness and power, they had no choice but to yield.
Qin Lang's feelings were more complicated than Immortal Shui Jing's. He thought that he could find out the origins of those two Taoists by finding Immortal Shui Jing, but it was obvious that he had underestimated their origins. Through Immortal Shui Jing's words, Qin Lang could basically confirm that those two Taoists were definitely not from the 12 sects of Taoism. They were most likely from the Divine Dao Sect or someone related to the Divine Dao Sect. This was because the people from the Qingcheng Sect couldn't kidnap people from Anrong City to Yunmeng Mountain in such a short period of time, so the people from the other 11 sects couldn't do it either.
This was the first time Qin Lang had heard of the Divine Dao Sect. He had never heard the old poisonous creature mention it before.
In addition, although Immortal Shui Jing didn't say it, Qin Lang could speculate that the reason why the Qingcheng Sect was willing to listen to the Divine Dao Sect was not only because of the Divine Dao Sect's powerful martial strength, but also because they had obtained a lot of benefits from the Divine Dao Sect. Kindness and power were used in tandem. The two words "kindness and power" were indispensable.
Immortal Shui Jing must have known a lot of information about the Divine Dao Sect, but Qin Lang didn't intend to continue to interrogate him, because that would only lead to the destruction of his relationship with Immortal Shui Jing and the Qingcheng Sect. Although he wasn't afraid of the Qingcheng Sect now, he didn't want to cause unrest among the Jianghu forces in Pingchuan Province because of this.
Moreover, becoming enemies with Immortal Shui Jing and the Qingcheng Sect would be of no help in investigating the identities of those two Taoists.
Somewhat dejected, Qin Lang returned to the underground base. He knew that the investigation had reached a temporary impasse. Seeing that Shuang Er was still busy, Qin Lang felt bitter. Senior Sister Shuang Er had sacrificed a lot for him, the old poisonous creature, and the Poisons. He didn't expect that such a disaster would happen, and now Qin Lang couldn't avenge her.
"Senior Sister —"
Qin Lang stood in front of Shuang Er, hoping that she would recognize him, but unfortunately, Shuang Er acted as if she didn't see him. She walked past him in a daze and continued to fiddle with those poisonous insects.
"Divine Dao Sect …"
Qin Lang muttered to himself, repeating these three words, as if he wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart, but he was also very clear that the Divine Dao Sect might not be the sect of those two Taoists. But now, the Divine Dao Sect was the only clue left. Qin Lang knew that he had to find a way to investigate. He had to avenge Senior Sister Shuang Er, and most importantly, he had to take back the Spirit Root that Shuang Er had lost. Only then would Shuang 'er be able to return to her original appearance.
But Qin Lang didn't know how to contact the people of the Divine Dao Sect, not even the Qingcheng Sect, which was a bit tricky. But in Qin Lang's view, the breakthrough point was still the Qingcheng Sect. Although Immortal Shui Jing said that the Qingcheng Sect didn't know how to contact the people of the Divine Dao Sect, he believed that the people of the Divine Dao Sect would definitely pay attention to the movements of the Qingcheng Sect.
After figuring this out, the idea in Qin Lang's mind gradually took shape. As long as he provided some appropriate benefits to the people of the Qingcheng Sect, he didn't have to worry that they wouldn't stand on his side. If the Qingcheng Sect no longer relied on the so-called "Divine Dao Sect", these people would naturally show up, and there would be no need to contact them.
