It was the Western Sea Sword School who leaked the location of Tian Jingren's manor cave to Yin San on purpose, in an attempt to cooperate with the Great Grandmaster of the Mysterious Dark Sect in order to complete this earth-shattering transaction.
The man wearing the conical hat and walking into the restaurant in Haizhou City was the middleman who was acceptable to both sides.
The scheme of the Western Sea Sword School failed, and it was a humiliating one, and they suffered a great loss; but the man wearing the conical hat didn't worry about being punished, because he was the guest of the Western Sea Sword School and had a special status. Besides this matter, he had many other important missions, so he believed that the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean would be patient enough with him.
After leaving Haizhou City, he didn't go back to the Western Sea Sword School. Instead, he took the vehicle of the Imperial Court through the Pure Heaven Bureau, and arrived in Yu County after passing through many states and counties.
The north of Yu County was not far from the Cloud-Dream Mountain, so it was more likely that he would encounter the orthodox Cultivation practitioners. He didn't want to encounter too many troubles, so he went to the Precious-Ware House in Guiyun City and auctioned a rare but ordinary thousand-year-old lotus seed.
This agreement had been made more than ten years ago, and he wasn't sure if the person arranged by the other party could hold on until now.
Moreover, the other party had already left the Zhongzhou School, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The thousand-year-old lotus seed was bought by someone that night, and it was delivered to the Cloud-Dream Mountain the next day.
On the fourth day, the man wearing the conical hat saw Bai Zao.
"I didn't expect it to be you," he said.
Bai Zao was still as feeble as before, and his voice was even more nonchalant, as he said, "I want to know who you are."
The man took off the conical hat and the black mask on his face, exposing his green face.
Bai Zao arched his eyebrows slightly, saying, "Do you know that if the disciples of the orthodox sects knew you were in Guiyun City, you would be killed for sure?"
There were many deviant practitioners in the world, and many of them had strange appearances, but few had a green face. Su Ziye said with a faint smile, "I'm the guest of the Western Sea Sword School, so they have no reason to kill me. You should know that I was no longer the young master of the Xuanyin Sect many years ago. The Xuanyin Sect has nothing to do with me anymore. "
Bai Zao didn't say anything more, but asked, "He Zhan has gone to White Town; why do you want to see my Big Brother?"
Su Ziye shot a deep glance at her and said, "Since the lotus seed of a thousand years is in your hands, you should know the original plan between me and Tong Yan."
Bai Zao said, "Shixiong told me. But I still don't understand. Even if you obtain the Sword God's trust, how can you kill him? "
Su Ziye said, "I told him that I had a way; it's because I happened to know that two formidable figures were plotting against the West Ocean."
Bai Zao said, "Even you feel afraid. If we join hands with them, won't it be like asking a tiger for its skin?"
Su Ziye said, "I'm looking for the Immortals Tan and Bai."
He used to be the young master of the Xuanyin Sect and was famous for his excellent talent. Back then, he was even more talented than Lo Huainan, but he was far from qualified to negotiate with the two Immortals of the Zhongzhou School.
There was only one explanation: he was a middleman, representing the will of those two formidable figures.
"What do they want?" Bai Zao asked.
Su Ziye said, "After the Western Sea Sword School is destroyed, the spiritual source will belong to our Xuanyin Sect."
Bai Zao said, "Nobody in this world is worth a spiritual source."
Su Ziye said, "Back then, Tong Yan promised to give me a spiritual source from Kunlun Mountain. I've merely changed my choice. Now that the Zhongzhou School considers itself the leader of the orthodox Cultivation world, how can they be so shameless as to occupy the spiritual source of the West Ocean?"
Bai Zao said with a small smile, "You have just said that you are no longer the young master of the Xuanyin Sect, and the Xuanyin Sect has nothing to do with you."
Su Ziye said, "If I can handle this matter well, the Xuanyin Sect will be mine again."
Bai Zao suddenly asked, "Does it have anything to do with the incident in the Guocheng Temple?"
Su Ziye said, "Those old men can crush us with one finger. We just need to fulfill our duties as messengers and don't ask about anything else."
"Rest assured," Bai Zao said, "I won't tell anybody else about this matter."
Su Ziye added, "Including Jing Jiu."
Bai Zao shot him a glance, saying nothing.
"What happened to Tong Yan?" Su Ziye asked.
Bai Zao said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Su Ziye smiled, looking like a green leaf blown by the wind. Looking at the streets of Guiyun City outside the window, he said, "Back then, Lo Huainan was killed here. You should know that it was Tong Yan who was avenging you."
"What are you trying to say?" Bai Zao asked.
"Lo Huainan is dead, and Tong Yan has betrayed us. The situation in Aoyama is not any better. You two claim to be the leaders of the orthodox sects, but it seems that your sects are even more chaotic than our deviant sects."
Su Ziye pulled back his gaze and asked Zhao Layue, "Have you ever wondered why?"
…
…
The situation in Aoyama was indeed chaotic, but Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue didn't know that yet.
After returning to the Shenmo Peak, Jing Jiu threw the Sword of the Universe back to Gu Qing, saying, "Give it to me before you leave."
Zhao Layue shot him a glance, wondering if he was going out again. This wasn't like his temperament. Did the white bones in Taiping Zhenren in the Sword Jail remind you of something?
Gu Qing took the Sword of the Universe and found that the desolate and desolate feeling on the sword was a bit weaker, or in other words, the feeling had penetrated deeper into the body of the sword.
Yuan Qu came over curiously, his eyes full of envy.
Gu Qing smiled and handed the Sword of the Universe to Yuan Qu, beginning to report to Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue.
Over the years, he had been in charge of all the affairs related to the Shenmo Peak, like the Precious-Tree House and Zhaoge City; it was a complicated affair. Many things had happened in the last half a year. A small monster invasion had been repelled in the snowland, but it was unclear what it meant. The atmosphere in Zhaoge City had gradually changed. The chancellors who supported Prince Jing Xin had sent a memorial again, as if they wanted to do something. The Platanus Sect had decided to hold a clean-heart meeting three years later. It was unclear if it meant that the Grandmaster couldn't hold on any longer.
Zhao Layue glanced at Jing Jiu again, wondering if Jing Jiu was going to the Platanus Sect to help Sensei kill someone.
Gu Qing continued. Nobody had found any trace of Tong Yan in the last half a year. Judging from the movements in Zhaoge City and the Center Sect, the important figures on Cloud-Dream Mountain were very angry. Then, Jing Jiu recalled what Jing Jiu had told him back then and told her about the development of the Mysterious Dark Sect over the last few years and the current situation in detail.
"Why do you have to tell me so much about such a trivial matter?"
Jing Jiu wondered why Gu Qing had become so talkative; it seemed that he should learn the Vow of Silence.
Zhao Layue glanced at Jing Jiu again and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to kill Wang Xiaoming?"
Ten years ago, the Mysterious Dark Sect became a church, and Wang Xiaoming was the first church master.
In the eyes of the common people, this new swordsman of the deviant sects was very mysterious, but Zhao Layue couldn't forget his name.
Jing Jiu had forgotten about this matter a long time ago. He remembered it after being reminded by Zhao Layue, and signaled for Gu Qing to continue.
Gu Qing felt quite innocent, but his expression didn't change. He took out a sword letter and handed it to Zhao Layue with both hands, saying, "The Aoyama has summoned all the peaks for a meeting. Because you are behind closed doors, the meeting has been postponed until now."
Zhao Layue felt a bit surprised, thinking that the Aoyama was going to hold a meeting again. Who was the reason this time? It couldn't be because of Liu Shisui again.
"It's indeed about Liu Shisui." Looking at her expression, Gu Qing said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Zhuo Rusui is really a blabbermouth. He talked too much about what happened in the Guocheng Temple. In the end, it was a slip of the tongue, and people knew that Liu Shisui had been there."
When Liu Shisui was imprisoned in the Sword Jail for the second time, the Shenmo Peak didn't do anything. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye. In fact, many people had guessed that Liu Shisui had left, but they didn't have any proof, so no one dared to question the Shanghai Peak.
Now that it was confirmed that someone had seen Liu Shisui in the Guocheng Temple, of course, those people would take this opportunity to make trouble. Fang Jingtian didn't have to show up in person. Naturally, the elders of the Xilai Peak would demand an explanation from the Shanghai Peak and the Shenmo Peak.
Zhao Layue took a look at Jing Jiu for the fourth time. She wondered if Zhuo Rusui had done this because of the Immortal Sect Master's order, or was it his own idea?
Jing Jiu thought of the meeting in the Xilai Peak's hall and felt bored. He walked straight into the cave, ignoring Gu Qing.
Gu Qing looked at Zhao Layue innocently. Zhao Layue handed the sword book back to him and followed Jing Jiu into the cave.
Even if someone wanted to use this opportunity to attack the Shenmo Peak, she didn't care. Now that the identity of Jing Jiu had been confirmed, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of the Sect Master and the Sword Justice?
…
…
The atmosphere in the Xilai Peak's hall was a bit depressing.
After confirming that Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu had left the Sword Peak, the meeting in Aoyama began. But until now, no one from the Shenmo Peak had come.
Fang Jingtian sat in the main seat, silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
Someone suddenly yawned.
Many people looked over and found that it was Zhuo Rusui.
Elder Mo and Elder Bai, Guo Nanshan, and other disciples were fighting the enemies in the snowfield. He was the representative of the Tianguang Peak to attend the meeting in Aoyama.
"Senior Masters, why are you looking at me? I didn't admit that I saw Liu Shisui. What the monks of the Guocheng Temple say has nothing to do with me. "
Zhuo Rusui yawned and said, "Even if the monks of the Guocheng Temple didn't lie, we still have to ask the Shanghai Peak first."
His opinion was the same as that of Zhao Layue.
The sword attack in the Guocheng Temple made him very clear about the relationship between the Master and the Shenmo Peak. He didn't believe that the incident of Liu Shisui could cause any big waves.
As for the relationship between the Shanghai Peak and the Shenmo Peak, he didn't know anything about it. But as a disciple of the Tianguang Peak, he would never hesitate to find trouble with the Shanghai Peak.
The masters of the peaks thought what Zhuo Rusui said was reasonable. Liu Shisui, who should have been locked in the Sword Jail, was suddenly found in the Guocheng Temple. No matter how they looked at it, it was the problem of the Shanghai Peak. As a result, all the gazes fell on the Elder of the Shanghai Peak, Chi Yan.
The look on Chi Yan's face was terrible. He truly didn't know anything about it. "Please wait a moment," he said sternly. "Shanghai Peak will give you an explanation."
… …
… …
The Shanghai Peak was innocent in the incident of Liu Shisui leaving the Sword Jail, but now it had to bear the greatest pressure, so it was natural that it was displeased.
As a result, the top of the Shenmo Peak was greeted by a snowstorm.
The Three-Foot Sword along with the wind and snow represented the will of the Justice of Sword Yuan Qijing.
Zhao Layue was behind closed doors.
Gu Qing reacted as quickly as she did; he had already left the mountain in advance.
Liu Ada brought Cold Cicada and hid in the deep part of the manor cave, and stayed behind closed doors with Zhao Layue.
There was only one person left on the Shenmo Peak.
He had to face the cold and formidable Three-Foot Sword alone.
Kneeling before the Three-Foot Sword, Yuan Qu said innocently, "Great Granduncle, you can't blame me."
"Where is Jing Jiu?" Yuan Qijing's indifferent voice came out from the Three-Foot Sword.
Yuan Qu said while pointing at the ocean of clouds, "Senior Master has left a long time ago."
… …
… …
Gu Qing went to the Sword-Washing Stream.
The class at the Sword-Washing Hall had just ended, so the masters left the classroom.
Lin Wuzhi and Senior Master Mei Li walked to the stream while talking about something. They were surprised to see Gu Qing.
Shenmo Peak hadn't taken on any new disciples in recent years, so they shouldn't have come to the Sword-Washing Stream.
Lin Wuzhi was the personal disciple of the Immortal Sect Master, and Senior Master Mei Li was a master of the second generation with a high Cultivation state, so they had a high status on Qingrong Peak. They had been teaching the new inner sect disciples by the Sword-Washing Stream over the years, which was a pity for some people, but many people, including Gu Qing, respected them very much.
Gu Qing bowed to them with a faint smile, saying, "I'm looking for someone."
Lin Wuzhi and Senior Master Mei Li exchanged a look, and both saw the interest in each other's eyes. "Who?" they asked in unison.
Gu Qing recalled the description his Master had given him before he left, and drew a face in the air with his finger.
The image drawn in the air by his finger couldn't even be considered real, but Lin Wuzhi could see it clearly. "Ping Yong-ka?" he asked in surprise.
Gu Qing said, "It looks like his talent has left a deep impression on you, Big Brother."
Lin Wuzhi shook his head and said, "This child's talent is indeed good, but his temperament … is a bit eccentric. He likes to have random thoughts all day long."
Senior Master Mei Li asked with interest, "You want to take on a disciple?"
Gu Qing said with a smile, "I haven't learned the sword work well myself, so I'm not qualified to take on a disciple. It's my Master's idea."
Lin Wuzhi's expression changed slightly, saying, "Ping is lucky."
Senior Master Mei Li said with a smile, "Let's make sure that the person Shenmo Peak is looking for is not him."
A moment later, the young disciple named Ping Yong-ka was called over.
Gu Qing looked at him and asked, "Did you go to the Sword Peak a few days ago?"
Ping Yong-ka's face turned pale, wondering if the fact that he had profaned the remains of the masters of the previous generation had been discovered. He said in a trembling voice, "Yes …"
Gu Qing continued, "Did you see the two masters on the Sword Peak?"
Ping Yong-ka didn't think he was lucky anymore. He said innocently, "I have poor eyesight. I really don't know …"
Gu Qing smiled, thinking that this was indeed the style of the Shenmo Peak. No wonder his Master had taken a liking to him.
He didn't say anything more. He bowed to Lin Wuzhi and Mei Li, and then left on his sword.
Ping Yong-ka stood there in a daze, confused, wondering what was going on.
Senior Master Mei Li and Lin Wuzhi smiled at the young disciple and said, "Congratulations."

(I thought I could only write it at night, but I didn't expect that I could squeeze some time, so I wrote it immediately and posted it. But I can't be sure about the situation tomorrow, so I can't update at eight o 'clock in the evening for the next few days. The number of words won't be much either. I can only try to update as much as possible. If I can't, I'll report to you in advance.)
