Dantai Qingrun's explanation was undoubtedly the most reasonable one.
The Hades of Zhenjiang had mobilized half of the Hades of Qingzhou to plan a Corpse Puppet Rebellion, but they still had to swallow their pride and endure silently for a hundred years.
The Spiritual Ruins House, which had the advantage of time and place, had suffered repeated setbacks in the hundred years of battle with the Hades. If there were no other forces behind the scenes, then wouldn't the Zhishou House be a joke?
"Have you investigated the movements of the Spiritual Ruins House in recent years?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Of course, I have spent most of the time in the past six months on this." Dantai Qingrun nodded and pointed to the dazzling array of jade slips on the table. "These jade slips record all the major and minor events that have happened in the past hundred years for the top sects and clans in the Spiritual Ruins House."
"You didn't find any problems?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Dantai Qingrun shook her head. "I haven't found any flaws in this information yet."
"In that case …" Lu Qingshan was deep in thought. He strolled to the table and roughly flipped through the jade slips.
Dantai Qingrun stood quietly at the side and silently watched Lu Qingshan quickly scan through the jade slips one after another, falling into deep thought from time to time.
After a long time.
Lu Qingshan had already gone through all the complicated information.
It wasn't difficult for a cultivator to remember all this information, but the difficult part was how to filter out the key information from the vast sea of information.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, Lu Qingshan already had a well-thought-out look on his face. With a sweep of his spiritual power, two jade slips floated in front of Dantai Qingrun.
"Take a look at the information recorded in these two jade slips," Lu Qingshan said.
Dantai Qingrun raised her eyebrows. She couldn't believe that Lu Qingshan could find the problem that she couldn't find in half a year in just half a day.
She took the two jade slips and scanned them with her spiritual sense.
"Chang 'an, 19,945, the second elder of the Poison Butterfly Sect, Daoist Master Yuedie, entered the Demon Spirit Mountain Range in search of medicine and disappeared without a trace."
"Chang 'an, 19,947, the young master of the Watermoon Castle entered the Demon Spirit Mountain Range and died there."
“.....”
The first jade slip recorded a long list of cultivators who had died in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range in recent years.
The second jade slip recorded a very short message.
"Chang 'an, 19,975, the Demon Spirit Palace announced that they would seal off the Demon Spirit Mountain Range for fifty years.
The Demon Spirit Mountain Range's eyes.. the Demon Spirit Mountain range in the Spirit Mountain Range.. the Spirit Spirit Mountain Range
The Demon Spirit Mountain Range was an extremely large and primitive mountain range. There were countless demon beasts residing within. When cultivators entered, they would encounter ferocious demon beasts and die. This sort of thing happened all the time in the world of cultivation, so it wasn't strange at all.
"Tower Lord Dantai, you've been repeatedly investigating the human forces in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion, trying to find the sects that might be colluding with the Hades, but you've found nothing.
Tower Lord Dantai, have you ever thought of such a possibility?
It's not that you didn't find the problem, but that the problematic force is not within your scope of investigation. "Lu Qingshan said softly.
"But I've already included all the powerful sects and clans in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion. How much help can those insignificant small forces provide to the Hades?" Dantai Qingrun subconsciously retorted.
"Are you sure you've included all the major forces in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Dantai Qingrun was stunned by Lu Qingshan's question.
"You've only included all the human forces." Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, a light flashing through them.
Qin Yitian, who had witnessed the entire process, nodded thoughtfully. Although she already had an answer in her heart, she did not interrupt Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun's conversation.
"There's another force in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion that you've overlooked. It's one of the top three forces in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion." Lu Qingshan said lightly.
"You're talking about the Demon Spirit Palace?!" Dantai Qingrun was stunned. She understood what Lu Qingshan meant.
The Demon Spirit Palace's combat power was probably the best among all the sects in the Spiritual Ruins Mansion.
However, Dantai Qingrun had never suspected the Demon Spirit Palace, let alone investigated them.
It was not because Dantai Qingrun was clueless. It was because the Demon Spirit Palace was, as its name suggested, a force of the Demon Clan!
In fact, the Demon Clan was spread all over the human territory. In terms of combat power, they were not inferior to the human race.
However, due to the wild nature of the beasts and their racial differences, most of the beasts did not interact with each other. At most, they were like the Jiao Dragon Demon King, who led their own race to rule over a mountain. Only a very small number of them would form their own forces.
The Demon Spirit Palace was the only force of the Demon Clan in the Qingzhou Region.
The first Palace Master of the Demon Spirit Palace was a Rank Five Demon Beast, the Gengjin Tiger King.
It was said that the Gengjin Tiger King had a weak bloodline of the Ancient Spiritual Beast, the White Tiger. Hence, his combat power was extraordinary. He unified the Demon Clan in the Qingzhou Region for tens of thousands of years and built the Demon Spirit Palace. He dominated the Qingzhou Region for thousands of years.
After thousands of years, the Gengjin Tiger King was unable to break through to the Rank Six Realm. His time was up and he passed away.
After the Gengjin Tiger King passed away, the Demonic Spirit Palace no longer had an absolute master to suppress the beasts. Hence, most of the wild and untamed beasts quickly left the Demonic Spirit Palace. Only a small number of beasts were willing to stay in the Demonic Spirit Palace to continue the legacy of the Demonic Spirit Palace.
After the Demon Spirit Palace fell apart, its sphere of influence began to shrink rapidly.
From its heyday, it was spread all over the Qingzhou Region. Now, it could only survive in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range, which was located between the Spiritual Ruins Prefecture, the Misty Stream Prefecture and the Changyang Prefecture.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. In terms of combat power, there was not a single sect or force in the Spiritual Ruins Prefecture that could beat the Demon Spirit Palace.
"If there was really a sect that was in cahoots with the Hades, they would definitely gain some benefits from the Hades. On the surface, it would not be peaceful.
However, in the past hundred years, none of the powerful human forces in the Spiritual Ruins Prefecture had any sudden rise in power or any unusual movements. This is not what you think. " Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice, "But there is a Demon Spirit Palace that has been constantly making moves in recent years.
First, the death rate of the human cultivators who entered the Demon Spirit Mountain Range increased rapidly. Then, the Demon Spirit Palace sealed off the Demon Spirit Mountain Range for the first time. "
The Demon Spirit Mountain Range was extremely large. Even the Demon Spirit Palace only controlled the core area of the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.
Normally speaking, the Demon Spirit Mountain Range did not prohibit cultivators from entering outside of the core area.
However, in the past hundred years, there had been countless murders in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range. The number of cultivators who entered or died had increased by dozens of times.
Later on, the Demon Spirit Palace even announced that they had sealed off the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.
With how large the Demon Spirit Mountain Range was, how could the Demon Spirit Palace completely seal it off? Their announcement seemed to be to intimidate the human cultivators who wanted to enter the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.
After carefully thinking about the Demon Spirit Palace's strange actions, Dantai Qingrun muttered, "If that's the case, it seems to be too much of a coincidence."
The Demon Spirit Palace's actions in the past hundred years were rather large. Dantai Qingrun had naturally noticed it.
However, because the Demon Spirit Palace was not a human force, Dantai Qingrun had subconsciously overlooked this issue.
But when he thought about it carefully, Tantai Qingrun suddenly realized that he had dug a dead end under the influence of his subconscious.
Why couldn't the Hades cooperate with the demon race?
