Abyss, Jianluo Royal Court.
Inside an incomparably majestic palace.
"Hmm?" Chi Zun's expression changed.
Because he suddenly realized that the Lingxi Seal he had imprinted on the Demon Sword had disappeared from his senses.
There were only two explanations. One was that the Lingxi Seal had been erased.
But with his cultivation, only Fate Venerables and War Venerables in the Burning Moon Domain could break the Lingxi Seal. The possibility was very low.
The other possibility was that the Demon Sword had been taken out of the abyss.
His Lingxi Seal could sense the entire abyss, but there was a limit to it. He couldn't sense it across the realm wall.
If the Demon Sword had fallen into another realm, his Lingxi Seal would also disappear.
But the possibility was still very low.
But how could the Demon Sword have fallen into another realm in such a short time?
It didn't make sense.
Chi Zun frowned.
In the next instant, his figure flashed and disappeared from the palace.
After a while.
Two thousand miles outside Jianluo Royal City.
In the sky, there was a blur of light and a figure appeared.
"The last place the Lingxi Seal appeared before it disappeared was here," Chi Zun muttered.
Then, he looked around.
In the next moment, Chi Zun was shocked and his pupils dilated.
He waved his right hand, and the remains of many battleships floated up from the ground.
"This is …" Chi Zun narrowed his eyes and looked at the remains of the battleships.
The surface of the remains was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon.
"Sword Qi … It's the same as when Ying Jun was attacked …"
At this moment, among the remains of the battleships, another object appeared in Chi Zun's eyes.
It was a black longsword, and there were several dark golden sword threads floating around the blade.
"It's Qing Ge's Demon Weapon …"
No one in the Soldier Demon Clan would abandon the Demonic Weapon that they had nurtured with their own supernatural powers, unless something unexpected happened.
"Did something happen?" Chi Zun thought of the Lingxi Seal suddenly disappearing from his senses and got the most likely answer.
"Who could it be … Ying Jie?" He remembered that when Ying Jun was attacked, the real culprit was Ying Jie.
And Ying Jie had a grudge with Qing Ge, so he had a motive.
"But even if he did it, he definitely doesn't have the ability to erase my Lingxi Seal …"
His expression gradually turned ugly.
In the Burning Moon Domain, in Jianluo Royal City, something had happened that was beyond his control. This made him feel extremely uneasy.
Chi Zun pondered for a moment.
At this moment, another figure appeared.
It was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with dark golden hair.
"Chi Zun, why are you here?"
It was none other than Demon Venerable Blade, who had come all the way from Limitless King Realm.
At this moment, it had only been an hour since the Spirit Rhino Seal disappeared from Chi Zun's perception.
In other words, it was during this one hour that a murder happened right under his nose?
Who was it that dared to be so audacious?
"What's going on?" Dark Blade Demon Venerable looked around and was surprised to see the broken pieces of the battleships in the sky.
Then, his gaze suddenly focused on the long sword in the wreckage.
Blade Demon Venerable naturally recognized his son's weapon.
Seeing that Blade Demon Venerable noticed that something was wrong, Chi Zun did not hide it and said in a low voice, "Qing Ge, something must have happened …"
.....
Qing Ge was missing.
This news spread throughout the city at an unimaginable speed.
During this period of time, Jianluo Royal City was in constant chaos.
Three days ago, the news of Qing Ge controlling the Demon Sword had just spread throughout the city. Today, an even more terrifying bolt from the blue appeared once again.
It was too absurd.
Many people wanted to know the inside story.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, a lot of inside information was gradually revealed.
Qing Ge disappeared two thousand miles away from Jianluo Royal City.
At the place where he disappeared, the wreckage of his battleship and his Demon Weapon, Black Blood, were found. Only the Demon Sword and Qing Ge's corpse were missing.
At that time, Qing Ge was going to welcome Blade Demon Venerable who had come from afar.
It was supposed to be a loving father and filial son, but it had become an unsolved case. It was said that Blade Demon Venerable was furious and swore to investigate this matter thoroughly.
The wreckage of the battleship was similar to when Ying Jun was attacked. It was very likely that the two incidents were done by the same person.
Ying Jie was also missing!
Of the Shi Wu bloodline, Ying Jun died first, and then Ying Jie went missing. Qing Ge, who was regarded as the ideal son-in-law, was also likely to have met with misfortune.
Now, only the Great Blaze Demon Master and Ying Mingyue were left with the Shi Wu bloodline. The decline of the Shi Wu bloodline was obvious.
The Shi Wu Demon Venerable had aged a lot overnight. His body condition was deteriorating day by day. He did not have much time left …
In short, all kinds of news spread out, and the chain reaction was extremely exaggerated. The entire Burning Moon Domain was in turmoil because of this. All kinds of guesses and assumptions were revealed on the surface.
However, all of this had nothing to do with the initiator.
.....
Firmament Sky.
The spring rain in Peaceful City had just stopped. The streets were much cleaner because of this.
This was a small city located in a remote mountain in Sand Province.
No matter how turbulent the extraterritorial battlefield was and how the war was about to break out, it was the business of the cultivators.
Ordinary people would not have much of a clear feeling about this.
Once they realized that the war was coming, it could only mean that the situation could not be worse.
The streets were very lively.
There were old peddlers by the side of the road with poles on their shoulders. They shouted in a rhythmic tone, selling sticks of newly dipped candied haws.
Some gluttonous children held a few copper coins and surrounded the peddlers. It was very lively.
There was also a beautiful girl in a long dark green dress. She looked like a pretty girl from a humble family. She stood not far away and watched.
Her male companion had already bought a stick of sugar-coated haws with bright syrup for himself and the woman.
After the girl received the candied haws, she stuck out her pink tongue and gently licked the layer of sugar coating on the surface. She revealed a faint smile.
Compared to the girl's reservedness, the male companion was chewing the gourd in big mouthfuls. However, it was unknown whether the candied haws were sweeter or the girl's smile was sweeter.
What a peaceful scene.
At this time, the girl in the dark green dress saw that not far away, there was a handsome man with two exceptionally cute little girls.
The two little girls looked at the candied haws on the stand. However, the man's face revealed a difficult expression.
"Is it because he's embarrassed?" she thought.
She looked back and saw that there were fewer people around the peddlers.
Thus, with a thought, she took out a small pouch from her bosom and took out two copper coins. She poked the male companion beside her and whispered an order.
The male companion was very obedient. He took the copper coins and went to buy the candied haws.
He bought three sticks.
Then, he turned his head and gave the candied haws to the handsome man and the two little girls.
However, this man was really born with a good appearance. His appearance was incomparably handsome.
He could not help but think as he handed over the candied haws.
"Thank you." Lu Qingshan looked at the candied haws handed over by the man in front of him and smiled.
Chuyi and Shiwu looked at the candied haws greedily.
However, the awkward thing was that he did not have the money of mortals on him.
In his mustard seed, there was quite a lot of gold.
Using gold to buy candied haws?
It was not that he could not bear to, but this kind of behavior might not be a good thing for the peddlers of candied haws. Instead, it would destroy their originally peaceful lives.
The man waved his hand casually, indicating that it was a small matter. Then, he was pulled away by the girl in the green dress. The girl was quick-witted and was afraid that Lu Qingshan would feel embarrassed.
Seeing the two leave, Lu Qingshan did not mind. He handed the candied haws to Chuyi and Shiwu, who were standing beside his legs.
They took the bamboo sticks and carefully licked the candied haws. Happy smiles appeared on their faces.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, was casually gnawing on the candied haws. Seeing the two girls' reaction, he asked casually, "Is it that good?"
Chuyi said softly, "A long, long time ago, when we were still in the Green Wind Sect, there were many hawthorn trees on the mountain. They were very, very sweet, and tasted exactly like this …"
At this point, the two little girls were about to cry.
Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment.
Finally, he said, "After a while, I will bring you home to take a look."
The last time he walked through the Yellow Springs Boundary Wall, he went straight to the Western Regions.
And this time, the Yellow Springs Boundary Wall that he walked through led to the Middle Heaven Region.
And if there were no surprises, the Green Wind Sect that Chuyi and Shiwu were in was somewhere in the Middle Heaven Region.
The two little girls nodded their little heads vigorously.
It was fine if they were older. Chuyi and Shiwu were still young, and instinctively trusted and got close to good-looking people.
This was human instinct.
So after Lu Qingshan changed from that ferocious green spear back to his original appearance, their trust and intimacy with Lu Qingshan soared to a new level.
… …
Although Great Peace City was small, it had everything.
Among them was the existence of a branch of Zhishou Building.
But although it was called a branch, there were no more than ten people in total. It was more like a small "office".
When Lu Qingshan took out the Embroidered Spring Medallion that Dantai Qingrun had given him, they respectfully handed over the Geomancy Map to Lu Qingshan. Moreover, they used their intelligence network to send out Lu Qingshan's spiritual message.
One was sent to Heaven's Secrets Temple.
One was sent to Xia Daoyun.
Then, Lu Qingshan headed for Sand Province's provincial capital, Sandwall City.
He needed to borrow the provincial level Zhishou Building's intelligence network to investigate some things, some great secrets that he had discovered during his trip to the abyss.
The provincial capital of each province was normally located at the center of the region. However, Sand Province was different.
Sand Province was extremely desolate, and there were many demonic beasts outside its borders.
Sandwall City was built in the wilderness for the sake of suppressing the demonic beasts and preventing them from entering.
Lu Qingshan turned into a streak of light, flying through the air on his sword, his speed extremely fast.
Chuyi and Shiwu tightly held onto Lu Qingshan's trousers, not daring to let go. They were clearly extremely nervous.
However, the two of them couldn't help but lower their heads from time to time, unable to hide their excitement.
They looked just like children who had seen people kissing on television.
Sword Kinesis Flight was both exciting and fun for them.
A small seed even sprouted in their hearts.
.....
Half a day later.
Sandwall City's towering walls appeared before Lu Qingshan's eyes.
The walls were covered in complicated and profound formation patterns, covering every corner of the walls.
These were formation patterns drawn by Da Xia Kingdom's formation masters. They were used to strengthen the city's defenses, and could stop Rank Six demonic beasts. They were an extremely important barrier in Sandwall City's defense system.
Lu Qingshan directly entered the city, and found the Zhishou Building's branch in the city.
He still used Xiu Chun's token to lead the way.
It had to be said that within the Zhishou Building's system, Xiu Chun's name was truly a great killing machine.
Very quickly, the Black Ice Platform brought him the information he needed.
Within the Zhishou Building's quiet room, Lu Qingshan began to carefully organize his thoughts.
Currently, there were a total of two things that needed to be investigated. They could not be delayed, and were extremely important.
[Someone Who Should Not Be Here]
Cause: The human race appeared in the Abyss Realm.
Origin: The Glaze Region bordering the Central Spirit Region, and the Tianmen Region bordering the Central Spirit Region.
Time: From ten thousand years ago to the present.
Conjecture: There's a mole among the humans, secretly helping the Demons to plunder human population.
Murderer: Unknown.
[Mystery of Spirit Huan Sect]
Cause: The Demons used the Spirit Huan Sect's spirit beasts to locate his location and ambush him.
Time: One month ago.
Addition: During the Seven Regions Dao Symposium, the Spirit Huan Sect once revealed that Sect Master Changgeng was a cultivator of the Hades.
However, the Spirit Huan Sect dealt with the matter decisively and decisively, executing Sect Master Changgeng in public to 'clear' his name.
Conjecture: There's still a mole in the Spirit Huan Sect.
"Based on the current situation, there's a high probability that these two incidents are inextricably linked," Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.
"At the very least, the mole in the Central Spirit Region who helped the Demons to plunder human population can be temporarily pinned on the Spirit Huan Sect. There's a trace in this regard, but …"
"It's going to be difficult to deal with the Central Heaven Region." Lu Qingshan frowned.
The Central Heaven Region was the most unique. The Tianji Temple and the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family were both located in this region.
These two giants existed at the same time. Among them, the Tianji Temple was famous for its insight into the secrets of the heavens.
Then why was it that so many humans had been plundered to the Devil Region in the Central Heaven Region, yet no one had heard of this news for so many years?
Who had the ability to hide from these two giants?
Lu Qingshan could only think of one possibility.
These two tycoons were the murderers themselves.
However, this conjecture was too shocking.
On the surface, the Tianji Temple was the most loyal "subject" of the humans.
In order to protect the stability of the human race, they spared no effort and did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. The previous Tianji Temple Lord had even fallen for this.
In the eyes of others, the Tianji Temple was even purer than the Sword Sect.
As for the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family …
This was the bloodline of the Great Ancestor Xia, who had saved the world from collapse. There was no reason for them to collude with the Demons. Was His Majesty the one who rebelled first?
If these two giants were colluding with the Demons, how terrifying would that be?
Logically speaking, this was impossible. However, according to the most rational conjecture, this was the most likely answer.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan felt a headache coming on.
"Then let's start with the Green Wind Sect."
Lu Qingshan looked at the many jade slips in front of him and thought to himself.
These jade slips were the information of all the sects in the Central Heaven Region called Green Wind Sect that the Black Ice Platform had arranged for him according to his instructions.
This matter was complicated and needed to be dissected carefully.
And the Green Wind Sect on the first and fifteenth were the clues that Lu Qingshan had found.
"It's just that …" Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead.
"Why are there so many Green Wind Sects? Can't they be a little more creative when naming them? "
The Central Heaven Region was extremely vast, and there were countless small sects that were unknown.
And the name Green Wind Sect was equivalent to the "Zhang Wei" of people's names.
As such, in the Central Heaven Region, there were 78 sects called Green Wind Sects.
What made Lu Qingshan feel strange was that none of the 78 Green Wind Sects had been destroyed in the past ten years.
However, according to what Yi Yi and Fifteenth said, they had been killed two or three years ago.
There was clearly a conflict between these two pieces of information.
Either Yi Yi and Fifteenth's Green Wind Sects had not been collected by the Zhishou Building.
Or there was something else that he did not know.
Out of his trust in the Zhishou Building's ability to collect information, Lu Qingshan was more inclined to the latter possibility.
Moreover, this was the only possibility that could explain why so many humans had gone missing without anyone noticing.
He shook his head helplessly and could only start to investigate.
Yi Yi and Fifteenth sat next to Lu Qingshan obediently, answering Lu Qingshan's questions and helping Lu Qingshan determine the true location of the Green Wind Sect.
Time slowly passed.
Lu Qingshan was extremely serious, and Yi Yi and Fifteenth were also extremely focused.
No one noticed that at this moment, an almost imperceptible gust of wind blew past.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
"Hm?" He was startled. He retracted his attention from the jade slip and raised his head to take a look.
At some unknown time, a woman had appeared in the quiet room.
She was dressed in plain green clothes and wore a jade crown on her head. Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful.
Her brows were like distant mountains, exuding a majestic aura rarely seen on a woman's body. Her eyes were bright and clear, like the reflection of a clear pond or the reflection of the moon. She was calmly looking at Lu Qingshan.
There were many good-looking women, but Lu Qingshan had only seen one person with this kind of style of beauty, and a woman who was good-looking to this extent.
Xia Daoyun.
Lu Qingshan was stupefied. "Master, why have you come?"
