After pondering for a while, Zhu Minglang suddenly realized that the only reason he was able to escape unscathed was because of Linghu Ling's appearance.
In that case, all he had to do was find Linghu Ling and let her deal with Lü Wu, who was hiding in the sand. Or rather, he had to let Linghu Ling arrive a little earlier.
From his conversation with Linghu Ling, Zhu Minglang knew that Linghu Ling should still be following Lü Wu these days.
Lü Wu's actions were suspicious. When they were dealing with the Heretical Sword Sect, Linghu Ling had already noticed it. Thus, after leaving Alioth, Linghu Ling had been investigating the people in Lü Wu's faction.
Reality proved that Hoplite was really too lazy, causing the Sword Immortals under her to have their own thoughts.
There was still plenty of time. After knowing the trajectory of everyone's fate, Zhu Minglang only needed to intercept them halfway. Before bringing Zheng Yu back, Zhu Minglang had to find Linghu Ling first.
… …
He went to the border between White Earth and Qingshui. Now that Tianshu and Yuheng were completely connected, this place became exceptionally prosperous in a short period of time. Many cities were also built at the original border. All kinds of resources from the two great cities of Shenjiang were traded here, causing the overall strength of the cultivators to increase as a whole.
Zhu Minglang arrived at Qingshui and found Linghu Ling in one of Qingshui's tourist towns.
Linghu Ling was dressed in very simple clothes, looking no different from an ordinary female swordsman. A great Sword Immortal like her was hidden in the marketplace just like that. In the end, she was even harassed by cultivators from famous sects.
Zhu Minglang walked to Linghu Ling's side. Before he could show off his masculinity, Linghu Ling had already displayed her superb swordsmanship, scaring the male cultivators away.
"Zhu Minglang, why are you here?" Linghu Ling looked at him in confusion, a hint of joy and surprise in her eyes.
Even though Linghu Ling was dressed plainly, her face was pleasing to the eye. Thinking back to how she would rather die than submit to him in Tianshu Divine City, Zhu Minglang felt pity and bitterness in his heart.
In the end, it was because he was not strong enough and cautious enough that so many beauties were buried with him in Tian Shu Divine City.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Linghu Ling noticed the strange look in Zhu Minglang's eyes. She subconsciously wiped her face with her sleeve.
"Are you tracking Lü Wu?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Yes. Since you've found this place, you must know that the Evil Sword Sect that we were pursuing back then is not the only one that is hiding in the Earth Sword Sect," Linghu Ling said.
"Oh?" Zhu Minglang raised his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid that our Alioth Sect has been heavily infiltrated by the Evil Sword Sect as well. Not only Lü Wu, but the other Sword Immortals are most likely involved as well … Our Alioth Sect may have already become a base for the Evil Sword Sect without us knowing," Linghu Ling said her guess.
Zhu Minglang nodded.
Linghu Ling's guess was completely correct.
When the Alioth Sect members led by Meng Bingci came to help, they realized that they could not just sit and wait in Xuan Ge God Capital, so they changed their strategy and went straight to Tian Shu God City to assassinate Hua Chou.
Originally, the Sword Masters of Alioth Sect would provide them with great help. At least, the Scattered Gods that Hua Chou had recruited would not be Alioth's match. However, the enemy knew the whereabouts of Alioth. At the same time, some of the disciples under Meng Bingci rebelled. This caused the Star Palace Sword Masters led by Meng Bingci to suffer a great setback in the God City!
Linghu Ling herself was also injured by her fellow sect members. This led to the end of the road.
The Evil Sword Sect was definitely not a small pest in Yuheng Shenjiang. Their true leaders were the Four Sword Immortals.
The Sword Master in black dragon robes who appeared with Xi Ji outside Nan Lingsha's Painting Realm was one of the three Sect Leaders of the Evil Sword Sect.
The other two were Sect Leader Chi and Sect Leader Qing.
Their strength was not inferior to the Four Sword Immortals. They were the terrifying leaders of Alioth's dark forces!
The appearance of these experts from the Evil Sword Sect had dealt a heavy blow to the Gods who went to assassinate Hua Chou. Zhu Minglang had to think of a way to deal with them in the future.
"Although the Alioth Star Goddess may have passed away, I have to criticize her. She is indeed not a wise goddess in terms of management. The Evil Sword Sect's power has grown under her watch, and they have infiltrated most of the sword sects and sword palaces. They have a total of three sect leaders, and each one of them is not inferior to a sword immortal …" Zhu Minglang did not beat around the bush, and told Linghu Ling about the Evil Sword Sect.
In the past, when the Alioth Star Goddess was around, the Evil Sword Sect could only hide in the shadows. As a God King Realm existence, no matter how strong the Evil Sword Sect was, they could not withstand the wrath of the Alioth Star Goddess.
However, the God of Annihilation Sect had long planned to eliminate the Seven Star Gods of the Northern Dipper. Hence, they naturally took over Yuheng Shenjiang after Hoplite passed away.
Meng Bingci's time as the Divine Leader was too short. She had tried her best to control herself. She had also noticed the internal problems in Alioth. However, it was difficult to change them. The Evil Sword Sect had been deeply rooted for too many years!
However, from Zhu Minglang's point of view, this was related to Hoplite.
One of the roots of the Evil Sword Sect was the God of Evil Wishes, Hong Mo.
Even Hoplite herself had made a deal with Hong Mo. She could be considered to be involved with the Evil Sword Sect.
"Is what you said true?" Linghu Ling was shocked after hearing what Qin Feng said.
What she had found out was only the tip of the iceberg???
Zhu Minglang nodded.
At this moment, Zhu Minglang recalled the few clever young Swordmasters of the Earth Sword Sect who had discovered the secret of the Earth Sword Sect.
At this moment, they were just like the few young Swordmasters. What they had dug out was only the tip of the iceberg. If not for the state of foresight, no one would have thought that the Evil Sword Sect had hidden so deeply!
"So what should we do now?" Linghu Ling took a long time to calm herself down. However, even though she knew that the enemy this time was so powerful and terrifying, Linghu Ling had no intention of backing down.
"Hong Mo is very resourceful. He can be considered to have pushed the Evil Sword Sect to its peak. As the leader of the God of Annihilation Sect, it is difficult for us to guard against his methods. We have to hire someone to deal with him … This trip will be dangerous. Stegosaurus is not by my side. I need you to protect me in the dark." Zhu Minglang said.
"Alright, I will follow you." Linghu Ling nodded.
…
God Xuan Ge did not expect Linghu Ling's appearance, which led to the failure of the hunt at the foot of Wuyang Mountain.
Linghu Ling's actions had changed a little, but it would not affect the overall situation.
Moreover, since they knew the true identity of the Evil Sword Sect, it would be a waste of time for Linghu Ling to track them down. It would be better for them to travel together and protect him in the dark.
When they were on their way to Kaiyang, Zhu Minglang used the Evil Fallen Buddha's pearl chain as a deterrent to enter the crossroads of the Netherworld again and ride the flow of time.
This greatly reduced the time needed to travel. Zhu Minglang could do one more thing, which was to use both the carrot and the stick!
In fact, Zhu Minglang did not have a good impression of Qiu Ci. She was a typical bubble sister. Zhu Minglang felt that the way to deal with her was more violent. Scare, threaten, let her know the consequences of going against her will, and finally put a curse on her. Even if she had the slightest bit of disobedience in her heart, there would only be one outcome!
In fact, Zhu Minglang was heading to Heavenly Spiral to find an opportunity to kill Qiu Luo. Dealing with Qiu Ci, who was a God Master, was even easier.
When he reached the Heavenly Spiral Sect, Zhu Minglang discovered something interesting.
Qiu Luo was the God Head of the Heavenly Spiral Sect. Furthermore, the Heavenly Spiral Sect was holding a grand wedding banquet. It was between the God Head Qiu Luo and the Su Family's young Patriarch Su Yuan.
Heavenly Spiral and Phecda always had the idea of a marriage alliance. For example, the younger sister Qiu Ci was engaged to Su Yu. However, after Su Yu's immortal path was cut off by Zhu Minglang, this guy was drowned out by the rising stars. He was nowhere to be seen among the gods that were emerging.
Marriages followed very ancient etiquette. The newlyweds were not allowed to see each other before the wedding.
However, the young Patriarch Su Yuan was a rather unrestrained person. On the night before the wedding, he secretly met with someone in the bamboo forest.
This person was none other than Qiu Ci.
Zhu Minglang, who was hiding at the side, couldn't help but curse, "What a beast! He actually ate both sisters!"
Linghu Ling had already turned her face away. She didn't know why Zhu Minglang was able to watch with such relish and curse at the same time.
"Have you seen enough?" Linghu Ling finally couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't I just collecting evidence? Actually, I don't want to dirty my eyes," Zhu Minglang said.
"How are you going to collect evidence?" Linghu Ling was confused.
"I have an ability that can summon the three souls of the gods: Heaven, Earth, and Mortal. Clearly, these two have done something that shames their ancestors. I can capture their earthly souls to sign. My eyes will be the irrefutable evidence to the court," Zhu Minglang said.
"Oh," Linghu Ling felt that Zhu Minglang was very strange, but she couldn't find anything wrong with him.
She didn't expect this at all.
The lives of the gods and immortals were so chaotic.
However, from the intimate conversation between the two, Zhu Minglang more or less understood the reason behind Qiu Ci and Su Yuan's illicit relationship.
At the beginning of the marriage alliance, Su Yuan had taken a fancy to the younger sister Qiu Ci. The two of them had also exchanged glances. However, Qiu Ci's cultivation was far inferior to her sister Qiu Luo's. Moreover, the two clans also hoped for the marriage alliance between the Patriarch and the Patriarch to ensure that the two clans could overcome the difficulties together. This led to the engagement between the elder sister Qiu Luo and Su Yuan, while the younger sister Qiu Ci could only marry Su Yu.
Qiu Ci had resentment in her heart, but she had no choice but to obey the Patriarch's arrangements. She had no choice but to submit to Qiu Luo, who had become the Patriarch of the gods.
With such a layer of love and hate, Zhu Minglang felt that it would be too easy to persuade Qiu Ci to defect.
"Don't worry. When I become the Phecda God, I will definitely marry you. At that time, your sister won't be able to object," Su Yuan said.
Although Qiu Ci didn't say anything, it was obvious from her eyes that she wasn't willing to be the concubine.
She was unwilling to accept her sister's unreasonable snatching of her love.
