Wherever the Cyan Moon's cold light swept past, countless butterfly shadows were destroyed!
With a "peng", the two cold lights fiercely slashed at the Cyan Moon, but with a tremble, they were forcefully bounced back.
Following that, one of the butterfly shadows blurred and turned into the figure of a young woman that shot backwards. Once her feet landed on the ground, she staggered a few steps back.
"Is that the Cyan Moon Sword in your hand!" Hu Chunniang stared at the short sword in Liu Ming's hand and a trace of surprise appeared on her face.
"Fellow Hu's true strength is not this Butterfly Dream Technique, but rather the way of the sword, right?" After the black tentacles on Liu Ming's body dispersed, he asked with a smile that was not a smile.
"What way of the sword! I don't know what you're talking about, you still haven't answered my question? "Hearing this, Hu Chunniang's face changed, but she immediately recovered her calm and said.
"Then, does Fellow Hu know a Heavenly Moon Sect disciple called Zhang Xiu Niang?" Hearing this, Liu Ming smiled and asked again, not minding it.
"Zhang Xiu Niang? Who are you! "This time, Zhang Chunniang could no longer maintain her calm, and a trace of anger flashed through her eyes as she yelled.
Following that, the woman's sleeves shook and two white short swords appeared in her hands. At the same time, a frightening aura exploded from her body, extremely sharp.
"Hehe, looks like I didn't guess wrong. Fellow Hu really is the Supervising Disciple of the Heavenly Moon Sect in Xuanjing. Fellow does not need to panic, let me show you something first. "Seeing this, Liu Ming clapped his hands and smiled. With a movement of his arm, a silver light shot out.
Hu Chunniang's expression changed and she skillfully slashed the air in front of her with the short sword. An invisible force rolled out.
After the silver light shook, it silently stopped in front of the young woman. It was the light silver token that represented Liu Ming's identity as the Supervising Disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect!
It turned out that when Liu Ming saw that Hu Chunniang's face was seventy to eighty percent similar to the Heavenly Moon Sect disciple with the Sword Communication Spirit Body, he immediately became suspicious.
When he purposely activated the Cyan Moon Sword and the woman recognized him, he was eighty to ninety percent sure of her identity.
"So Fellow Qian is the new Supervising Disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. This really gave me a false alarm. But how did this Cyan Moon Sword end up in your hands, and how did you meet Cousin Xiu Niang? " When Hu Chunniang saw the appearance of the silver token, the short sword in her hand disappeared in a flash. She grabbed the token and examined it carefully before letting out a long sigh.
"I can't explain the matter of the Cyan Moon Sword, but Fellow Daoist only needs to ask the Sect a little and you should know what's going on. As for Fellow Daoist Zhang, we met several times during the life and death trials not long ago, "Liu Ming replied in an unhurried manner.
"Life and death smelting trial! You are a core disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect! But how could I not recognize a core disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect at such a young age? "Hu Chunniang was slightly startled.
"Hehe, I just recently became a core disciple of the Sect. My current appearance isn't my true appearance, so it's normal that Fellow doesn't recognize me." Liu Ming lightly coughed as he spoke.
"Hehe! If that's the case, then Junior Qian's actual age shouldn't be that old. You should call me Senior. But you really act like an old man, and I really don't see any abnormalities. " When the young woman heard this, she widened her eyes and looked up and down at Liu Ming a few times before suddenly giggling.
"Senior is flattering me. I believe that I have a bit of talent in disguise. However, since we've reached this point, shouldn't I officially confirm Senior Hu's identity? "Liu Ming replied with a slight smile.
"Hmph, you're so young, but you sure are careful. Here, this is my Supervising Token! " Hu Chunniang's mouth twitched, but she still took out a silver token from her sleeve and threw it over along with Liu Ming's token.
Liu Ming shook his sleeve and the two tokens rolled into his hand. After lowering his head to examine them, he discovered that other than the words engraved on the front and back of the two tokens being different, no matter if it was the material, style, or weight, they were exactly the same.
He used a bit of strength in his fingers and the Heavenly Moon Sect Token was as hard as it was before, without any signs of damage.
With this, Liu Ming finally felt relieved. He said "Sorry" and threw the Heavenly Moon Sect Token back to Liu Ming.
"But I'm a bit curious! Junior Martial Brother confidently revealed your identity first. If your guess is wrong and I can't take out the token, how will Junior Martial Brother make up for this big mistake? "Hu Chunjiang grabbed the token and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
"That's simple. As long as I leave the person here forever, everything will be fine." Liu Ming slightly smiled as he lightly replied.
"Hmph, no wonder you're a Core Disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. You sure talk big. However, since you were able to survive the Life and Death Trials, it seems that you have some ability. However, I'll give you a warning! Junior, don't think that just because you're a Core Disciple of a large sect, you can look down on other Loose Practitioners of the same level. These Loose Practitioners may not have as solid a foundation as our Sect's disciples, but to be able to live until now and become strong, all of them are extremely powerful. When they fight, they won't be restrained like us Sect's disciples. As long as there's a sliver of a chance of victory, they will use any method they can. Perhaps they aren't our opponents in normal fights, but when it comes to a real fight, us Sect's disciples will be at a great disadvantage. Moreover, these Loose Practitioners are mostly very old when they reach this level of cultivation. Their Fa Li accumulation and fighting experience are not something we can compare to. "Hu Chunniang said coldly.
"Many thanks for Senior's guidance. I was a bit arrogant before." Liu Ming's heart trembled as he bowed and thanked her with a serious expression.
"Hmm, looks like you aren't really arrogant. That's good! If it was someone like the previous Barbarian Ghost Sect disciple who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, I would've immediately turned around and left. "Seeing Liu Ming's humble appearance, Hu Chunniang nodded in satisfaction.
"Senior Hu, you've met the previous Senior?" Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart jumped.
"I know what you're thinking, but there's no need to ask. I haven't met the previous Supervising Disciple of your Sect. After seeing that he wasn't someone I could work with, I didn't reveal my identity in front of him. Until he disappeared, he didn't know that I, Hu Chunniang, was a Heavenly Moon Sect disciple. "Hu Chunniang saw what Liu Ming was thinking and said without thinking.
"Regarding the disappearance of this Senior, as the Supervising Disciple of the Heavenly Moon Sect and having stayed in Xuanjing for such a long time, it's impossible that you don't have any clues!" Liu Ming blinked his eyes and suddenly said with a smile.
"It's impossible to say that I don't have any clues at all. But why should I tell you? "Hearing this, Hu Chunniang glanced at Liu Ming.
"Asking Senior to provide clues for free is a bit too much. How about this, Senior and I exchange some information? This will be good for both of us. "Liu Ming thought for a while and said.
"Exchange information? You haven't been in Xuanjing for long, what information can you exchange? "Hu Chunniang snorted and said with some disdain.
"If I say that I know where the source of the trouble in Xuanjing is, would Senior still be interested?" Liu Ming touched his chin with his finger and said with a smile.
"Know the source? You're not joking right? I just had some clues about this! "Hearing this, Hu Chunniang was shocked and stared at Liu Ming with narrowed eyes.
"How about this. Senior and I will each write a name and then show it together to see if we agree. "Liu Ming said calmly.
"Each write a name? Yes, that is a good idea. If Junior really has information about the source, then it will have value in exchanging information. "Hu Chunniang's expression changed before she finally nodded.
In the remaining time, the two of them each took out a brush and some silver powder. After writing a few words on their palms, they clenched their fists together and slowly showed them.
In the end, the word "Royal Family" was written on Liu Ming's palm while the word "Imperial Court" was written on the white palm of the young woman.
Seeing this, Hu Chunniang's expression finally changed:
"Looks like Junior Qian does have some skills to be able to get some clues in such a short amount of time."
"It was a coincidence that I was able to get some information." Liu Ming's expression didn't change but his heart relaxed.
Although he knew that the current emperor was a monster, he was still guessing whether or not it was the source of the change in Xuanjing.
"Good, since Junior has information, then you have the right to exchange information with me. However, for fairness, let's ask one question each. What do you want to know the most right now? "The young woman's expression became serious as she asked.
"Looks like Senior doesn't want to lose out at all! What I want to know the most is the information about the previous senior's disappearance. Does Senior Sister know which faction did this? When I came, I was ambushed by a group of people. From their words, it should be the same faction? "Liu Ming said seriously.
"Junior was ambushed? This group of people sure moved fast. If I'm not wrong, the disappearance of your Barbarian Ghost Sect's previous Supervising Disciple should be the work of the Black Spirit Group. "The young woman furrowed her eyebrows but immediately replied calmly.
"How does Senior know that the Black Spirit Group did it?" Liu Ming didn't show much surprise.
The Black Spirit Group being so mysterious was one of the reasons he had guessed.
"Does this count as the second question? Shouldn't it be my turn to ask first? "The young woman rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Hehe, I'm a bit impatient. Senior, please ask away! "Liu Ming was startled at first, but immediately let out a bitter laugh.
"Among the people that ambushed you, was there a Late Spirit Apostle, the Black Spirit Envoy?" Much to Liu Ming's surprise, the young woman didn't ask about the royal family but instead asked about the ambush last time.
"What is a Black Spirit Envoy? I only know that among the people that ambushed me, most of them were normal practitioners and only two of them were true practitioners. One was a Middle Spirit Apostle and the other was a Late Spirit Apostle. "Liu Ming thought for a moment before slowly replying.
