But he still didn't say anything. He just looked at the Southern Priest indifferently. This was a crucial moment in the psychological battle. The Southern Priest stopped here. His previous psychological attack had failed. The Southern Priest's real goal was to continue exposing the truth.
With the death of Senior Brother Guang Gu and his intuition, Lou Xiaoyi didn't think that this matter was that simple. However, he couldn't find any clues. After all, he had joined Xuanyuan Academy and had only been in the Fifth Ring for about ten years. His understanding of the bottom level of Fifth Ring cultivators was very limited.
The Southern Priest took a deep breath. He knew that this was a crucial moment. Whether he said it or not was a test of his psychological endurance.
If he didn't say it, he would be safe now. However, the future would be uncertain …
If he said it, he would have to face the test now. If he passed, he would have no more worries!
He gritted his teeth. He still had a few years to accumulate resources. If he really fled, where would he find such a stable source of spirit stones?
He continued, "These are all small mistakes. I know!
The real mistake is that every year, Rusong Daoist Academy accepts about ten Daoist children of unknown origins. Those who have already sensed Qi are sent out through Rusong Daoist Academy's channels. This way, I can charge both sides for these ten Daoist children … I'm really blinded. If I had persisted for one more year, I could have saved up these spirit stones in twenty years. However, I'm worried. I'm afraid that if I continue to wait, I'll have fewer and fewer opportunities … "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. The situation he didn't want to see the most had happened. This was no longer a simple matter of dealing with one or two people. It could lead to a big case that would implicate countless people …
However, he remained calm. At least, he looked indifferent on the surface. It was as if he had known all along.
"These ten were sent to Xuanyuan's Daoist Academy in the end? Did they send you these Daoist children for free? "
The Southern Priest was a little depressed. "Yes. They said they admired Xuanyuan's reputation. I knew it was inappropriate, but the price they offered was Dafa …"
Of course, Dafa, if he could build his foundation, he would be able to enter Xuanyuan. Every year, there would be ten Daoist children. Even if only one or two of them could build their foundation, after more than ten years, there would still be one or twenty who could enter Xuanyuan.
"Where did these children come from? Were they brought over from Traversing Wolves Ridge or were they trained locally? "
The Southern Taoist no longer tried to hide the truth. The truth was the same as a lie. Once started, there was no need to stop.
"They never told me, and I never asked. You know, this is the rule of the underworld! But according to my guess, these children are not from the Wolf Ridge, nor are they from the Wolf Ridge. They are from the Wolf Ridge! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed again. Things were getting more and more complicated, to the point where he wanted to directly send a message to the sect and wash his hands of this matter.
The people in the Wolf Ridge were the true indigenous people of the Five Ring Continent!
The original owners of the Five Ring Continent weren't the various large and small sects. They had their own inheritances, and they were inheritances that weren't any weaker than the current Cultivation Forces!
This part of history was a taboo for all sects and clans. They would not easily reveal it to others, even their own disciples. Of course, it also depended on the cultivation level. Lou Xiaoyi's level was definitely not qualified to know about it. It was estimated that he would not be able to know about it even if he reached Jin Dan. However, if he reached Yuanying or Perfected Monarch, he would be able to truly enter the ranks of Grand Cultivators and could travel through the void of the universe. This kind of secret might not be a secret anymore.
Generally speaking, as far as Lou Xiaoyi knew, tens of thousands of years ago, the Supreme Three Pure Ones of Xuanyuan destroyed the original cultivation forces of the Five Ring Continent, and thus established a new order and a new cultivation structure. After tens of thousands of years, who would still remember their ancestors from tens of thousands of years ago?
However, in the Five Ring Continent, there were still some indigenous cultivation forces left. These indigenous sects that remained in the three major domains were slowly assimilated. However, there were still some stubborn forces that forced a portion of the ordinary people to retreat into the boundless Wolf Ridge. These were also the last remnants of the original indigenous culture, and became a special existence in the Five Ring Continent.
Why did the original occupiers not completely eliminate these existences? History was too long ago, and the reason was too high up. Of course, he did not know, but now that he knew, he was in a real dilemma!
The hatred of the ancestors was a very annoying problem. Back then, when they occupied the Fifth Ring, they didn't strike while the iron was hot and solve the problem as soon as possible. It had been tens of thousands of years. How could a low-level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like him make such a big decision?
"Who contacted you?"
The Southern Taoist smiled bitterly. "It was a merchant, but he was not familiar with the town. I could not determine his background or appearance. These can all be hidden. It is not good for me to casually ask about such secretive things …"
It was as good as not saying anything, but this was indeed necessary self-protection. How could such a thing happen in the Western Regions without being on guard against the local tyrants?
"That's all?"
The Southern Taoist smiled bitterly. "That's all! I'm just a small Daoist Master. How much do you think I can participate in? "
Lou Xiaoyi felt that he had made a mistake. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he would not have scared him in the beginning. It would have been better to let him tell some lies to deceive him, and then everyone would have some peace and quiet!
Things like mixing sand with spies were important matters of principle, but also small matters that could not be any smaller. How could these Foundation Establishment cultivators affect the enormous Xuanyuan?
Could one of them last until Yuanying? Could they decide the direction of the sect? Could they persist in remembering that they were glorious spies after hundreds or thousands of years, and were willing to give up everything they had to pursue an inexplicable ideal?
What beliefs and ideals could a ten-year-old child have? Could they persist for a lifetime?
He still had to brace himself to deal with it!
"Call back the Daoist children who were sent elsewhere this time!"
Looking at the Southern Taoist, he said, "Not one less!"
The Southern Taoist nodded. He would suffer some losses, but compared to the responsibility, these losses were nothing.
"Then, what about the ones sent to Linxia City?"
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head. "No change. Calling them back is the same as telling them that there is a problem with this group of Daoist children. Do you want Xuanyuan to know about this?"
The Southern Taoist shook his head.
Lou Xiaoyi said lightly, "I can't guarantee that I won't inform the sect of this situation. This will depend on the follow-up development of the matter, but I can promise you that if I decide to inform the sect, I will inform you first!"
The Southern Taoist finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only half a breath. He did not know under what circumstances this Swordsman would not inform the sect.
Shouldn't this kind of situation of rubbing sand into the sect be reported immediately and these people of unknown origins be found?
He did not have any experience in the big sects, and did not know the way big powers considered problems, so he was somewhat baffled. But there was one thing he knew: it was time to pack up and prepare to run!
