After leaving the Sword Sect with Ji Chuan at the beginning of the year, half a year had already passed. Lu Qingshan was finally able to return to the Sword Sect.
When he left, he was in the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. When he returned, he was in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
This should have been considered a triumphant return to his hometown … if he hadn't run into that cultivator from the Da Xia Kingdom.
Sword Sect, Calming Peak.
The first thing Lu Qingshan did after returning to the Sword Sect was to go to this peak.
This was the peak in charge of the Sword Sect's diplomatic affairs.
But according to the Sword Sect's oral tradition, diplomacy was fake, and "burying corpses" was the real deal.
The Sword Sect disciples were in charge of killing, while Calming Peak was in charge of burying.
Lu Qingshan knew that killing a Da Xia Kingdom official was a big deal.
Even if this Da Xia Kingdom official was full of killing intent towards him.
The Calming Peak Master, the Empty Mountain Daoist, had a grave expression. He looked at Lu Qingshan with a slight headache. "Oh, isn't this our 'One Sword Splits the River'? Tell me, why did you come to Calming Peak? "
He already had a bad premonition in his heart.
With his sect's sword cultivator's unscrupulous character, unless something big happened, he shouldn't have come to Calming Peak.
Therefore, his tone carried a bit of "sarcasm" towards this rising star of the Sword Sect who had just left the Sword Sect half a year ago but had already risen to fame.
"When this disciple returned to the Sword Sect, I killed someone," Lu Qingshan answered honestly.
"You killed someone?" The Empty Mountain Daoist let out a sigh of relief.
That's not a big problem. Didn't you just kill someone?
You killing masters, it would be strange if you didn't kill someone when you went down the mountain!
I have a lot of experience dealing with this kind of thing.
There's no other way but to be familiar with it!
Taoist Kongshan immediately felt that his head no longer hurt, and his back unconsciously straightened quite a bit. His tone softened, and he said with a smile, "Killing people is not difficult, but this peak master can help you deal with it this time."
"But you must remember, next time you can't be too murderous." Empty Mountain Daoist also reminded Lu Qingshan.
The Empty Mountain Daoist was exasperated. "Do you know that in recent years, people outside have been saying that our Sword Sect is a den of butchers? The Sword Sect's great reputation has been ruined by you!"
The Empty Mountain Daoist expressed a great sense of accomplishment by using both kindness and authority.
"Thank you, Peak Master," Lu Qingshan said, ashamed.
"Tell me, whose disciple did you kill this time?" The Empty Mountain Daoist was at ease, but he seemed to have thought of something and looked suspiciously at Lu Qingshan. "Could it be a disciple of another Dao Sect?"
That's right. If he didn't kill anyone important, why would this bastard come to my Calming Heart Peak?
Empty Mountain Daoist suddenly reacted. Her heart tightened, and she felt her head swell.
"No." Lu Qingshan shook his head.
The Empty Mountain Daoist's head was no longer swollen.
Looking at this kid's delicate features, he did not seem like those people in the sect who were not stingy.
For some reason, in the past few hundred years, the Sword Sect's atmosphere was quite retro.
He did not know where those bastards had learned from, but they would draw their swords and kill people at the slightest provocation. He had cleaned up a lot of mess over the years, and the resentment in his heart was deep.
Thinking about it carefully, it should be because the upper beam was not straight, and the lower beam was crooked.
Thinking about the bastards that the Peak Masters of his sect had done, the Empty Mountain Daoist hurriedly shook her head and shook away these unpleasant memories. She said calmly, "Then who did you kill?
Tell me, if it's not a Dao Sect disciple, my Sword Sect can still bear the responsibility of killing one or two people. "
"Thank you, Peak Master." Lu Qingshan was very grateful, and said with some difficulty, "Actually, I'm still not sure who that person is …"
"You've already killed him, and you don't even know who he is?" The Empty Mountain Daoist raised an eyebrow.
"This is the first time I've met that person …" Lu Qingshan said honestly.
"If you don't even know him, then why did you kill him?" The Empty Mountain Daoist said in surprise, "Did he attack you first?"
"Not yet."
"Not yet?" The Empty Mountain Daoist raised her voice.
"Not yet." Lu Qingshan nodded and said with certainty, "Because, I drew my sword faster than him."
'You're quite proud, aren't you?'
The Empty Mountain Daoist ridiculed in her heart, but she asked, "How did you know he was going to attack you?"
"I guessed." Lu Qingshan did not intend to reveal his Eye Technique: Evil Discernment.
This Eye Technique was hidden in the dark, and was a trump card. If there were still people who planned against him in the future, there was a high chance that they would fall into this trap again.
If it was exposed, there were all kinds of strange artifacts in the cultivation world, and there were all kinds of arts. It was difficult to guarantee that there would not be a way to counter this Eye Technique.
"I guessed …" The Empty Mountain Daoist was speechless for a moment. She felt a headache coming on, and she was about to go crazy.
'You have the nerve to say that?
You guessed that he wanted to kill you, so you killed him?
'I'm on your side. Even I want to cry out for that dead person, okay?'
"It's fine." The Empty Mountain Daoist, who had been tempered for a long time, had a will of steel. He calmed down slightly, and comforted, "It's not difficult to deal with this matter. He's already dead, and there's no proof.
If no one saw the process of you killing him, just insist that he attacked you first. If someone saw it, just say that he attacked you before. "
As expected of the Tranquil Peak Master who had been in charge of the sect's external relations for many years. She was indeed experienced!
Lu Qingshan praised her in his heart. Then, he asked with some embarrassment, "Peak Master, is it really fine? But … "
"I've long been used to dealing with such matters. Naturally, I didn't ask …" The Empty Mountain Daoist was just about to agree when he suddenly came to his senses. "But what?"
Lu Qingshan said embarrassedly, "But, the person I killed was wearing clothes bestowed by the Da Xia Kingdom. The embroidered on his chest was a bear …"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The Empty Mountain Daoist felt his mind begin to buzz, as if a swarm of wasps had exploded in his head.
Xiong Pi, Xiong Pi, what did Xiong Pi represent?
The Empty Mountain Daoist, whose thoughts were in a mess, thought for a few breaths before he finally remembered.
Rank Five.
Bear Pi corresponded to Da Xia Kingdom's rank of Rank Five.
The Empty Mountain Daoist stared at Lu Qingshan.
'I'm so stupid, really.'
The Empty Mountain Daoist raised his listless eyes.
'I only know that this kid has a handsome appearance, and doesn't seem like a reckless person. I didn't know that his heart was black. 'I told them to kill less the moment I entered the sect, but it all went in one ear and out the other.'
After letting out a long sigh in his heart, the Empty Mountain Daoist's expression turned serious as he bitterly said, "Tell me, what exactly happened."
No matter how good he was at causing trouble, he was still a disciple of his sect. What could he do? He couldn't just ignore it, right?
If he really ignored it, not mentioning the fact that he would be scolded by those stubborn people in the sect for not having a backbone, who would be able to stop the Sword Cometh Peak master when he lost his temper?
The Empty Mountain Daoist lamented in his heart.
Back then, when the Calm Heart Peak master position was chosen, everyone knew that it would be a tough job. Everyone was extremely humble, pushing one another to give in. It was a joyous and harmonious atmosphere.
In the end, due to his thin skin, he had no choice but to accept the position.
Hundreds of years later, he finally understood what it meant to be thick-skinned if one wanted to live longer.
The Calm Heart Peak master position was really a job that would shorten one's lifespan!
Lu Qingshan promptly stopped teasing him, and began to narrate the entire story in a deep voice.
After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, the Empty Mountain Daoist frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead squeezing together into a mountain.
These were the wrinkles that had formed on his forehead from frowning too much over the years.
The Empty Mountain Daoist asked, "You brought back the Da Xia Kingdom cultivator's corpse and storage ring?"
Lu Qingshan nodded. With a wave of his hand, the Tenth Origin True Sovereign's corpse and storage ring appeared out of thin air.
"On the way back, I've already checked it myself." Lu Qingshan said, "I didn't find anything unusual in this person's storage ring. It's just some common cultivation items for cultivators."
"Tenth Origin True Sovereign …" The Empty Mountain Daoist blurted out the moment he saw the corpse.
"Peak Master knows this person?"
The Empty Mountain Daoist explained, "This person is the Tenth Origin True Sovereign, the Vice City Lord of Bai Ta City.
Bai Ta City is one of the cities in the Da Xia Kingdom adjacent to our Sword Sect, and I had some very shallow interactions with him before.
I just did not expect that he would try to kill you. "
As he spoke, the Empty Mountain Daoist released his Divine Sense and wandered around the Tenth Origin True Sovereign's corpse. Then, he released sword qi and cut open the Tenth Origin True Sovereign's skin, causing scarlet blood to seep out.
"There is no Devil Qi in his body, and there is no Devil Blood in his blood. He does not look like a Hades cultivator." The Empty Mountain Daoist's expression was solemn. He took the Tenth Origin True Sovereign's storage ring and carefully checked the items inside.
Fifteen minutes later, the Empty Mountain Daoist helplessly shook his head at Lu Qingshan. "As you said, there is nothing else."
After a moment of silence, the Empty Mountain Daoist let out a long breath and said, "Return to the Peak first. You have been away from the sect for some time. Go back and greet your master.
I will gather the Calm Heart Peak's cultivators and think carefully about how to deal with this matter. During this time, you are not allowed to leave the sect without permission. Wait for the sect's orders. "
"Thank you for your trouble, Peak Master." Lu Qingshan was very grateful. After bowing, he turned and left.
"The Da Xia Kingdom …" Seeing Lu Qingshan leave, the Empty Mountain Daoist could not help but rub his eyebrows. "This is difficult."
Previously, he said that the problem was not difficult to solve because the dead could not testify.
Now, he said that the problem was difficult because the dead could not testify.
When there was no need to reason, the dead could not testify, and they could make up excuses. If the other party was not convinced, they could only hold it in.
However, the person Lu Qingshan killed this time was an official of the Da Xia Kingdom. The victim was the Da Xia Kingdom.
When dealing with the Da Xia Kingdom, there was still a need to reason with them …
"Eh …" The Empty Mountain Daoist suddenly remembered something very important.
Previously, the matter of Lu Qingshan killing the Tenth Origin True Sovereign had too many implications. It had given him a huge psychological impact, and he did not have the time to think about it.
Now that he had calmed down a little, he finally reacted. "If I remember correctly, the Tenth Origin True Sovereign was a late Void Refinement stage sword cultivator. How did this kid kill him?"
.....
Lu Qingshan returned to Sword Cometh Peak.
He did not understand why the Tenth Origin True Sovereign wanted to kill him, or where he came from.
At first, he felt that the Tenth Origin True Sovereign was most likely from the Hades.
However, after inspecting the Tenth Origin True Sovereign's storage ring and corpse, he did not find anything related to the Hades.
Even so, in his heart, the Tenth Origin True Sovereign was still the most suspicious of the Hades.
Because it was really too clean.
The Tenth Origin True Sovereign's monstrous killing intent towards him was not fake.
There was no killing intent for no reason.
However, the Tenth Origin True Sovereign did not have the slightest flaw, and it was impossible to find out who was behind the scenes.
It could be said to be flawless.
He could only think of the Hades as an organization that could make things so perfect.
As his thoughts wandered, Lu Qingshan thought of another matter.
It was no wonder that when Ji Chuan introduced Tranquil Peak Master to the new cultivators of the sect, his comment was as follows:
The Calm Heart Peak master was ranked below average in the Sword Sect. Her talent in the Sword Dao was also below average, but she was one of the most respected sword cultivators in the Sword Sect.
From start to finish, Daoist Kongshan did not have the slightest doubt towards his seemingly one-sided statement.
