"How is that possible!" Ying Feiyang blurted out. After calming down, he asked, "Palace Master Wei, do you have any basis for your speculation?"
"It's more likely than a dead man coming back to life." Wei Wushuang laughed self-mockingly. "Nobody has ever seen Di Lingtian's true face. Nobody knows what kind of face he is hiding under his mask. Rather than making me believe that the person I killed with my own hands has come back to life, I'd rather believe that someone has cultivated the Heavenly Five Decay Technique and impersonated Di Lingtian to stir up trouble."
"What does that have to do with my master?"
Wei Wushuang said, "With Di Ling Tian's shocking cultivation, there aren't many people in the world who have the ability and qualifications to impersonate him. Every single one of them is a famous figure, their every move is watched by everyone in the world. Only your master used the excuse of seclusion to comprehend the sword and hid from the world. No one has seen him for a whole seven to eight years. He has the most time to do things in the dark. So, I suspect he used seclusion as an excuse to hide behind the scenes and act as Di Lingtian to manipulate the situation. "
"As his disciple, you intentionally hid the fact that you broke the seal in the Ghost Realm, which deepened my suspicion. Although the possibility isn't high, I can't afford to be careless. That's why I invited you here."
"I see! But if my master is Di Lingtian, I'd rather believe that the dead man came back to life. "Ying Feiyang finally understood why he went through so much trouble to invite him here. However, he knew very well that Jian Guan's cultivation had been locked and he had been chased down the mountain, unable to return to the sect for ten years. He was only worried that some enemies would take the opportunity to seek revenge. That was why the Sword Sect of Ling Xiao announced to the public that Jian Guan was cultivating in seclusion to fight Yu Wenfeng again. Wei Wushuang did not know about this, which caused the misunderstanding.
Wei Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief. "If Jianguan is really Di Lingtian, not only will we have one more powerful enemy, but the righteous path will also lose an arm. Luckily, I was just overthinking. Please don't take it to heart, Martial Nephew Ying. "
"How would I dare?" Ying Feiyang said, "If I didn't hide it, I wouldn't have misled your judgment. But do you believe me so easily?"
"I've asked Goddess Ling Xin about what happened in the World of Ghosts and Souls. That little girl doesn't want to lie or tell the truth, so she decided to keep silent. Combined with what you said today, it explains why she was unwilling to tell the truth. My disciple, Fei Ying, also praised you, saying that you are definitely not a person who hides trouble. To be praised by Fei Ying, other than Feng Ming, you are the first. " Wei Wushuang paused and said, "Of course, most importantly, it's not easy to lie to me."
Ying Feiyang suddenly understood. "That's right. With Palace Master Wei's cultivation, if he wanted me to tell him the truth, how could I hide it from him?" Thinking up to this point, he could not help but feel lucky that he did not make up another lie to cover up the loophole.
Wei Wushuang warned him again, "I won't tell anyone about today's conversation, but I'm not the only one who has such a guess. In the future, your every word and action could implicate the Sword Crown, so you need to think twice before you act. Otherwise, being suspected by others is just a small matter. If you're used by someone with ulterior motives, and the Sword Crown is wronged and opposed to the Righteous Faction, that pair of Sword Crowns will be a great calamity to the Righteous Faction and even the world."
Ying Feiyang came to his senses and nodded. Wei Wushuang said, "Since you listen to me, I'm relieved. You can return to Si Tiantai after exiting the door. Martial Nephew Ying, you can leave now."
Ying Feiyang bade farewell and was about to leave when the ground suddenly rumbled like a cow turning over. The temperature in the room plummeted, and a ghastly aura seeped out from the formation runes on the ground. An eerie aura filled the room. Ying Feiyang was affected by the aura and felt restless. He quickly calmed himself down and asked, "Palace Master Wei, what's wrong?"
"Silence!" Wei Wushuang said softly and waved his sleeve. A sacred aura of Dao swept through the air, and the evil miasma instantly dissipated. The formation runes under him also flashed with light, suppressing the rumbling ground. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
"Don't mind it. The ghosts of the Hell Path are just restless again. I'm used to it," Wei Wushuang said casually. Wei Wushuang said casually. However, as he spoke, his face paled and his body swayed. His Veritable Qi was completely exhausted. Ying Feiyang went forward to help him up, but Wei Wushuang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Go and bring me the Lunar Spirit Pearl."
Ying Feiyang did as he was told. Wei Wushuang picked up a pearl and circulated it in his palm. The pearl gradually shone and shrank like melting ice. A wave of Spiritual Qi flowed from the pearl into Wei Wushuang's palm. Only then did Wei Wushuang's face regain some color.
Ying Feiyang was shocked and asked in surprise, "Palace Master Wei, are you taking the Moon Spirit Pearl to absorb its Spiritual Qi?" The Moon Spirit Pearl was formed from the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. It was very effective in setting up formations or forging artifacts. Of course, it was also possible to directly absorb it into one's body to refine True Qi, but very few people did so. That was because True Qi was precious, not precious in quantity. Although directly absorbing it into one's body would benefit, it would not be as effective as cultivating True Qi bit by bit. For an expert like Wei Wushuang, True Qi with impurities would harm his body.
Wei Wushuang said indifferently, "Yes. The Hell Path is becoming more and more chaotic, and my True Qi is being consumed more and more. If I don't use external items to recover faster, I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain the seal formation." As he spoke, he absorbed another Moon Spirit Pearl.
"But …"
"I know what I'm doing. There's no need to say anything more. Martial Nephew Ying, please leave first," Wei Wushuang said.
Ying Feiyang understood. Wei Wushuang definitely knew what he knew. However, the Spiritual Qi of Mount Qingcheng was about to recover, and they would be able to seal the crack once and for all. The Hell Path was also taking advantage of this last chance to attack the seal. Even though absorbing the Moon Spirit Pearl was harmful, they had to do it at this critical moment. Ying Feiyang was filled with admiration. He bowed again and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Palace Master Wei!"
He turned around and was about to leave when Wei Wushuang called him back again. When he turned around, he saw Wei Wushuang instructing him with a solemn expression, "Yes, don't spread word about this. Tell others that I'm taking the Moon Spirit Pearl to set up a formation. These few days are the key to victory, and Di Lingtian hasn't shown himself for half a year. If he wants to amaze the world, he'll probably make a move in these few days. I need to be faster than him … Oh no, I've fallen into his trap!"
Halfway through his sentence, Wei Wushuang cried out in surprise. His indifferent voice trembled for the first time. A black aura surged from his palm, and in the blink of an eye, his jade-like face was enveloped by a layer of black fog.
"It's the Moon Spirit Pearl!" Ying Feiyang cried out in surprise. He sharply sensed the crux of the matter and guessed that someone had poisoned the Moon Spirit Pearl.
"Ha, so Di Lingtian has already made his move. I'm … a step too slow …" Wei Wushuang smiled bitterly.
"Palace Master Wei, let me help you expel the poison." Ying Feiyang wanted to go forward to help, but Wei Wushuang shouted, "Don't come over. This isn't poison. It's the Qi of the Five Signs of Decay!"
