"Then let's go find Xue Zhuyong first," Lu Qingshan said.
Hidden Sword nodded and took Qin Yitian's hand. "Sister Yitian, we need to find someone. I'll tell you the details on the way," he explained enthusiastically.
Qin Yitian nodded. "Looks like it's urgent. Let's not waste any more time. Let's go."
Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword did not waste any more time. They used their Sword Manipulation Technique and rushed to Jiaolong City. Qin Yitian turned into a crimson light and traveled with them. She did not know what technique she was using, but her speed was no slower than theirs.
.....
The Poseidon Sect had been destroyed, and the situation was urgent. The two did not have much to worry about. They flew into the city on their swords and arrived at Xue Zhuyong's carving shop.
Along the way, Hidden Sword told Qin Yitian the reason why she and Lu Qingshan were looking for their Natal Sword. He also told her everything they had seen and heard since they landed on the island.
The three of them landed in front of the woodcarving shop. As soon as they landed, Hidden Sword took the lead and charged into the shop.
Inside the wood carving shop, Xue Zhuyong's hand never left the wine pot as usual. His body reeked of alcohol, and he glanced at Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword indifferently. His expression did not change at all.
Hidden Sword said angrily, "Shopkeeper Xue, you're still drinking at a time like this?"
Xue Zhuyong picked up the wine jug and gulped down another mouthful of wine. He didn't even look at Hidden Sword as he said, "Wine has its limits. When can it be drunk?"
Hidden Sword then realized that Xue Zhuyong did not understand the current situation. He quickly explained, "The Jiao Clan that destroyed the Mo Clan is now led by the Jiao Dragon King. They're about to land on Jiaolong Island …"
"What does the Jiao Clan have to do with me?" Xue Zhuyong asked.
Hidden Sword couldn't believe Xue Zhuyong's nonchalance. He wrinkled his nose and said, "These Flood Dragon Beasts are the ones who destroyed your Mo Family. Don't you want to avenge your family?"
"I'm just the shopkeeper of a carving shop. What does the Mo Clan's destruction have to do with me? Why should I avenge them?" Xue Zhuyong looked Hidden Sword in the eye and said seriously.
"But this sword is clearly …" Hidden Sword pointed at the three-foot-long sword hanging on the wall and was at a loss for words. "How can you have nothing to do with the Mo family?"
Qin Yitian didn't say a word after entering the shop. She just kept looking at the carvings in the shop. She looked in the direction where Hidden Sword was pointing. She looked at the three-foot-long blade on the wall and suddenly asked Lu Qingshan, "Is that the sword you want to make your Lifebound Sword?"
Lu Qingshan was stunned. He did not understand why Qin Yitian would ask such a question, but he nodded.
Qin Yitian pursed her lips and mumbled, "It's just so-so …" She looked like she was disgusted by the Three-Foot Blade, but at the same time, there was a hint of arrogance in her voice as she mumbled, "It's just so-so …"
Xue Zhuyong's face darkened. It seemed that Hidden Sword's words reminded him of something bad. He reached out his left hand and the sword flew into his hand. He put it away in his storage ring.
"If you want to buy a carving, you can look around. But if you're just going to talk nonsense, you're not welcome here," Xue Zhuyong said coldly.
"Sorry to disturb you," Lu Qingshan apologized to Xue Zhuyong.
Hidden Sword still wanted to argue, but Lu Qingshan pulled him out of the carving shop.
"He's obviously the head of the Mo family. Why won't he admit it?" Cang Xiaojian puffed up his cheeks. He couldn't figure out the specific reason and said angrily, "Is it because he's afraid of the flood dragon Monster King and doesn't dare to be his enemy?"
"It seems that the matter of the Mo family being overthrown is not as simple as it seems on the surface," Lu Qingshan said very seriously. "It's just that the truth behind this is missing a crucial piece of information."
In fact, when he visited the wood carving shop for the first time, he had already sensed that Xue Zhuyong's situation was a little strange. In addition, Madam Mo's reaction at that time had undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.
However, all his guesses were unfounded. Unless there was a strong point that could point him in the right direction.
"The carvings in the shop are not simple," Qin Yitian suddenly said.
Hidden Sword, who was still feeling indignant, was interrupted by Qin Yitian. He suddenly remembered what he was about to say. "Sister Yitian, can you see the images hidden in the carvings too?"
Lu Qingshan, who was originally unconcerned, was suddenly startled. His voice was no longer calm. "What did you say? There are images hidden in the carvings? What images? "
Seeing Lu Qingshan's surprise, Hidden Sword was confused. "Yes, there are images hidden in the carvings. It seems like they're images of Xue Zhuyong and the carvings coming into contact.
In the carving I bought, I could see the battle between Shopkeeper Xue and the sea monster. Shopkeeper Xue was seriously injured in that battle!
I saw that you've been paying attention to the carvings, so I thought it was because you could see the images on the carvings too. "
There was no doubt that the carvings in Xue Zhuyong's shop were not ordinary carvings. However, in Lu Qingshan's opinion, they were not ordinary only because they contained Xue Zhuyong's artistic conception.
But according to Hidden Sword, there were other secrets hidden in the carvings? Then why couldn't he see the images? Only Hidden Sword could see them?
Qin Yitian saw Lu Qingshan's confusion and explained, "When the carver was carving the carvings, he used the power of artistic conception and some special techniques to hide some of the images in the carvings. Therefore, those who have not mastered the artistic conception would not be able to see the images."
So that was it.
Lu Qingshan understood.
Hidden Sword was a cultivator who had mastered the Wind Sword Intent when he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage. That was why he could see the images in the carvings.
But if that was the case, didn't Qin Yitian also master an artistic conception?
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but take another look at Qin Yitian, but now wasn't the time to think about it. He quickly took out the carvings of the flood dragon Daemon King from his storage ring and handed it to Hidden Sword. He said solemnly, "Take a look at the images in this carvings."
Hidden Sword took the carvings and closed his eyes. He released his divine consciousness and at the same time, a mysterious force of nature appeared out of nowhere. That was the power of artistic conception that Hidden Sword had mastered.
A moment later, Hidden Sword opened his eyes. His expression was full of confusion and bewilderment. "These images … are a bit strange?"
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed. He asked, "What's going on?"
"I saw Shopkeeper Xue waiting outside the Dragon Pool several times. He killed the flood dragon beasts and fought with the flood dragon Daemon King many times.
However, the battle didn't last long. Soon after, he would use a ritual implement to escape. It was as if he was deliberately provoking the flood dragon Daemon King.
In the last image, Shopkeeper Xue seemed to be coldly watching the flood dragon Daemon King lead the flood dragons to slaughter the humans … and those humans seemed to be from the Mo Family? "
"Is that so?" Lu Qingshan murmured thoughtfully, "So that's how it is … So that's how it is …"
In the next moment, Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed. He suddenly said, "Let's go."
"Go where?" Hidden Sword was confused. He still didn't understand the situation.
"To find out the truth behind the flood dragon Daemon King's destruction of the Mo Family."
"Ah?" Hidden Sword was surprised. But when he saw Lu Qingshan moving, he quickly followed.
Qin Yitian didn't say anything. She just silently followed Lu Qingshan's footsteps. However, when her gaze fell on Lu Qingshan's back, a strange light flashed in her eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
.....
Madam Mo opened the door and saw Lu Qingshan and the other two standing at the door. She was surprised. "Are you looking for Yan 'er? But Yan 'er is not at home right now … "
"Madam Mo, we are here to look for you." Lu Qingshan interrupted Madam Mo and said in a deep voice.
"You are looking for me?"
"Back then, the Mo Family of Longquan was destroyed by the flood dragon Daemon King. It was not because of the flood dragon Daemon King's accident, but because of a plan that had been planned for a long time.
If I'm not wrong, the person who planned this should be your Mo Family's Patriarch at that time, Xue Zhuyong. "Lu Qingshan went straight to the point and slowly stated his judgment.
Hidden Sword's mouth was slightly open. He was shocked by Lu Qingshan's shocking words.
The head of the Mo Family had been planning for the destruction of the Mo Family for a long time. How was this possible?
Hidden Sword found it hard to believe such absurd words. However, these words were said by Lu Qingshan, so he had to believe it.
In the next moment, Madam Mo's reaction immediately confirmed Lu Qingshan's guess.
Madam Mo's pupils shrank. She looked at Lu Qingshan's handsome face and asked in shock, "How do you know about this?"
