The clouds at the bottom of the cliff of Tianguang Peak were illuminated by the Sun in Silence, looking like a snowfield.
Standing by the cliff's edge, Zhao Layue looked down at the scenery. She suddenly had an urge to go to White Town, but she soon discarded this idea.
A sigh broke out.
She turned around and bowed to the tall figure, saying, "Greetings, Great Sect Master."
The Sect Master of Aoyama stood in front of the stone tablet with his hands clasped behind his back, saying, "Is this the first time you've come to the top of Tianguang Peak?"
Zhao Layue's line of sight moved up and fell on the scabbard. "Yes," she said in a low voice, suppressing the shock in her heart.
"Back then, I thought you were still too young even though you were the second disciple of Youngest Senior Uncle. I thought it would be better to tell you about many things later. But now I think it's inappropriate. It's because you're not used to asking for other people's opinions before doing something."
The Sect Master turned around and walked to her side, looking down at the vast sea of clouds at the bottom of the cliff.
"The Inherited Heaven Sword is only a scabbard?" Zhao Layue asked. "It's meaningless even if I ask about it."
The Sect Master said, "This so-called secret is indeed meaningless. I invited you here today mainly to ask about the death of Lo Huainan."
"It has nothing to do with me," said Zhao Layue.
The Sect Master said, "Jing Jiu might not have died; why did you insist on his death?"
It would be disrespectful to say that it had nothing to do with her at this moment.
Zhao Layue said after a moment of silence, "He wanted Jing Jiu to die, and I wanted him to die."
"Nothing can be hidden from everyone," said the Sect Master.
Zhao Layue said, "For example, you've all guessed it, but you didn't do anything. I've waited for you for three years. Since you didn't do anything, I'll do it myself. "
The Sect Master said, "Lo Huainan has performed so well in the last three years that even I'm a bit shaken. But I don't have any evidence."
Zhao Layue said, "Zhongzhou School doesn't have any evidence either."
The Sect Leader said, "That's right. You've designed this trap very well. Even if someone suspects you, they won't be able to find any evidence, and the people you find will never betray you."
Neither the Precious-Tree House nor Royal Concubine Hu had any reason or courage to betray Shenmo Peak.
The Sect Leader continued, "But have you ever thought that this will affect our relationship with the Cloud Dream Mountain?"
Zhao Layue said, "The last one was Tong Yan. It was a fight between the disciples of Zhongzhou School."
The Sect Leader said, "If someone really guessed something, there would be a problem. We can use the words' people will be plunged into misery and suffering '."
When the war broke out between the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School, the history Jing Jiu had deduced in Zhaoge City would take place.
Zhao Layue said, "I didn't think that much."
"Or are you too lazy to think about it? That official is called Shi Fengchen? That's his name. His fear of you is not entirely unreasonable. "
The Sect Leader suddenly asked, "Have you already guessed who he is?"
Zhao Layue remained silent for a long time. She didn't answer his question, but asked, "Whose sword is the First Child Sword?"
The Sect Leader didn't answer her question either.
… …
… …
It was not that simple.
Standing by the cliff's edge, Zhao Layue thought to herself while listening to the cheerful cries of the monkeys on Shenmo Peak.
After meeting Royal Concubine Hu that night, the Emperor asked Gongfeng Jin to give the First Child Sword to her, indicating that it was not a simple matter.
The First Child Sword was very powerful, and it was as powerful as the Thoughtless Sword in her hands. That was why she could wound Lo Huainan severely that night.
Gu Qing came to the cliff's edge and said in a low voice, "I've found out. It's the sword of the hidden swordsman."
Feeling surprised, Zhao Layue asked with raised eyebrows, "The one on the ocean?"
The third grandmaster of the Mysterious Dark Sect hid deep underground and wasn't good at riding the sword. The grandson of the emperor should be near Ōzawa with the turtle shell on his back, so it could only be that fairy swordsman in the Heavenly Arrival State.
Gu Qing nodded with a grave expression on his face.
It was rumored that the fairy swordsman in the Heavenly Arrival State who was forced to imprison himself on the Foggy Island by the Sword Formation of Aoyama had something to do with the current Godly Swordsman of West Ocean.
What did the Emperor intend to do by killing someone with the help of a sword? Was his target the Western Sea Sword School or Bulao Lin? Or did he intend to intimidate Zhongzhou School by cooperating with Aoyama?
Thinking of all this, Zhao Layue's face grew paler, and she coughed twice.
She was wounded severely in the battle to kill Lo Huainan, and she consumed a great deal of Zhen Yuan to hide her wound in the Precious-Ware House, so she was very weak at the moment.
Gu Qing glanced at her, feeling worried.
"Send a message to the nine peaks that I'm going to stay behind closed doors."
Zhao Layue took a look at the north, and then turned around and walked toward the manor cave.
Gu Qing called Young Yuan over and told him a few things, saying, "I'm going to stay behind closed doors as well. Remember to wake me up when the Plum Meeting starts."
The Cultivation tournament couldn't take place in the snowland because of the cold fog, so the Plum Meeting couldn't be held.
The day the Plum Meeting started meant that the cold fog would disperse.
Young Yuan understood what Jing Jiu meant, and vaguely guessed what they were going to do. "I won't tell the other side," he said uneasily.
Gu Qing rubbed Jing Jiu's head with a smile, saying nothing.
Thinking of this, Young Yuan said sentimentally, "I didn't expect it to be Liu Shisui. It turns out that he hasn't forgotten Senior Master Jing."
"As I said, he is the Big Brother of our Shenmo Peak."
Gu Qing said to him, "And please ask the other side to keep an eye on the village. I don't want my Master to be angry when he comes back."
Young Yuan felt a headache coming on, asking, "Are you sure they will help us?"
Gu Qing didn't say anything, walking toward the forest at the foot of the cliff.
He didn't stay behind closed doors in the manor cave, but in the small hut in the forest where he had lived for a long time.
The monkeys in the forest cried out to welcome him.
Gu Qing remained silent.
Back when Liu Shisui secretly took the Devil Pill, he was locked up in the Fiend Prison by the Shangde Peak and tortured day and night. Something bad was about to happen to him.
Jing Jiu remembered what Jing Jiu told him before he left, so he wrote a note to the monkeys and asked them to get help.
The next day, Liu Shisui was released.
It wasn't until now that the disciples of Liangwang Peak thought it was the Sect Master's order.
At the time, Gu Qing didn't know who did it, but he had communicated with the monkeys over the years, so he knew which peak they went to at the time.
…
…
When Zhao Layue was assassinated, the wife of the Sect Master of the Center Sect came to Aoyama to explain the situation.
Zhao Layue didn't die that time.
Liu Shisui was an abandoned disciple of Aoyama, but Lo Huainan was dead.
As such, the Sect Master of Aoyama went to Cloud-Dream Mountain in person.
It was the first time in two hundred years.
A few days later, the Zhongzhou School and the Aoyama Sect jointly issued a decree, confirming that Liu Shisui was the real murderer of Lo Huainan, and requesting all the practitioners in the world to help track him down. As long as they could kill or capture Liu Shisui, or provide accurate information and help the Zhongzhou School and the Aoyama Sect kill or capture Liu Shisui, they would be rewarded by the two sects.
As the leader of the orthodox Cultivation circle, and for such a significant event, the rewards offered by the Zhongzhou School and the Aoyama Sect were naturally quite impressive.
Two high level magic methods and two magic treasures of the Heavenly State.
The portraits of Liu Shisui appeared on the city gates, on the streets, in the restaurants, and in all the places in Chaotian.
His portrait was even on the godly boats heading to the distant ocean.
His appearance, temperament, and characteristics of his magic methods were well known in the world.
In his Cultivation state, he was not qualified to be called a hidden swordsman.
In fact, he would be no different from the other three hidden swordsmen.
He would be hunted down for the rest of his life, unable to breathe for a moment, and unable to see the sun again.
