Silence. After a moment of silence, Lu Qingshan raised his eyes and his gaze became extremely sharp.
"What do you think?" Dantai Qingrun asked when she saw that he had digested the information.
"Where did you get this Spirit Jade from?" Lu Qingshan asked.
This was the question he was most concerned about.
Why would Dantai Qingrun have such confidential information?
"I'm also very confused." Dantai Qingrun shook her head and explained the situation to Lu Qingshan. "I found this Spirit Jade on my body after I woke up …
But I can confirm that this Spirit Jade did not exist on my body before this.
No one would have the ability to place a Spirit Jade on my body without me noticing, except for the period of time when I was unconscious … "
Lu Qingshan naturally knew when Dantai Qingrun was referring to. He continued, "In other words, this Spirit Jade was secretly placed on your body when you were imprisoned."
Dantai Qingrun frowned slightly. "That's right … Who do you think the person who placed the Spirit Jade on my body is? What's their motive? Is the information in this information true?"
She was indeed at her wit's end.
The information was very shocking, but it came without any beginning or end. It gave people the feeling that there was some kind of conspiracy hidden in it.
Therefore, Dantai Qingrun wanted to hear Lu Qingshan's thoughts.
Her clear eyes stared fixedly at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan glanced at Dantai Qingrun's slightly weak face and pondered for a moment. Then, he analyzed, "Logically speaking, since you were imprisoned by Elder Murong of the Green Radish Sect, the most likely person to do this would be him. But obviously, this possibility is very small."
After all, Elder Murong was only a Soul Formation cultivator. It was impossible for him to come into contact with such confidential information. Moreover, this Elder Murong had already hanged himself on the spot.
"That means there's still an unknown third party.
This third party must be extremely powerful to be able to quietly place this Spirit Jade on you right under Elder Murong's nose. "He made his first conjecture.
"As for who this third party is …" Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "There's not much useful information. It's hard to make an accurate guess for now."
"But from the way he does things, we can make some guesses." He began to calculate. "To be able to know such confidential information and place this Spirit Jade on your body under Elder Murong's nose, this person's cultivation base is extremely high.
If this third party is a human cultivator, with his strength, there's no need to use this method.
"He could have directly informed the Dao Sect or the Great Xia. However, he chose to use such a strange method.
There is only one reason for that. With his status, he is not suitable, or rather, he does not dare to meet the almighty cultivators of our human race. "Tantai Qingrun revealed a look of understanding.
As expected of a Xiu Chun cultivator, her reaction was quick … Lu Qingshan nodded and continued, "So, from this point of view, it's extremely likely that this Spirit Jade came from the hands of a Hades cultivator."
"As for this person's objective and whether the information is true or not, we can discuss them together."
"If the information is true, then no matter how complicated the objective is, there's only one core objective. That is to hope that we can stop Prince Qing's bloody massacre."
Lu Qingshan said slowly, "As for whether the Hades cultivator coincidentally learned of this secret and discovered his conscience, he secretly passed on the information through this method. Or if there's some other reason, we don't know for now."
"If the information is false, then the situation will undoubtedly be much, much more complicated. It'll be difficult to sort it out in a short period of time."
"But regardless of whether it's true or not, we can only treat it as true now." Dantai Qingrun's voice was slightly heavy. "This information is too shocking and too shocking. Even if there's only a hint, we can't sit by and do nothing."
The information about the Blood Symbol Art and "Prince Qing's bloody massacre in pursuit of the Ancestor Realm" were put together. The meaning was very simple.
Prince Qing secretly joined forces with the Giant Spirit Demons and prepared to massacre a place to collect blood essence. Then, with the help of the Giant Spirit Demons using the Blood Symbol Art, he could help increase his strength.
It should be known that Prince Qing was now a Venerable Ninth Realm cultivator and a Martial Emperor Realm body cultivator.
How much blood essence would be required for such a powerhouse who stood at the pinnacle of human cultivators to further improve his strength? How many humans would he need to slaughter?
— The so-called Prince Qing's bloody massacre only involved the human race.
The Giant Spirit Demons would definitely not allow Prince Qing to massacre the Demons and then help him refine the blood essence.
Moreover, as a human cultivator, King Qing was able to get a Devil Cultivator from the Giant Spirit Demon Clan to help him increase his strength. He must have offered some conditions that the Giant Spirit Demon Clan would find hard to refuse in exchange.
After all, Demons were demons and not bodhisattvas. How could they support their enemies for free?
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement and added, "Based on what I know, this information is most likely true. The three cities of Dong Lin, Qianniao, and Great Peace are all empty. It's very likely that it's related to this bloody massacre."
Dantai Qingrun slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. "Then, how are you going to deal with this matter?"
"This matter involves too many people. Prince Qing's strength and status are at the peak. It's not something I can handle alone," Lu Qingshan said decisively, "Such a matter is of great importance. I must inform the Heavenly Secrets Temple and let them use their power to verify the authenticity of this matter …
It just so happens that we're in the Heavenly Secrets Temple right now, so we can save a lot of time … For such an important matter, every bit of delay could cause unimaginable losses. "
There was no doubt about the intelligence ability of the Heavenly Secrets Temple. There would not be a more suitable choice for them to handle this matter.
"Also, I will inform the Sword Sect of this news," Lu Qingshan added.
He could not put all his eggs in the same basket. Although he believed in the Heavenly Secrets Temple, only the Sword Sect was the sect that he could completely trust.
Therefore, he had to inform the Sword Sect of this news in a timely manner.
"Do you need me to inform the building of this news as well?" Dantai Qingrun's eyes flickered as she asked hesitantly.
"How were you imprisoned in the Green Radish Sect?" Hearing her question, Lu Qingshan immediately thought of this matter.
Dantai Qingrun's thoughts turned, and she quickly told Lu Qingshan the details.
"You're saying that the building gave you a mission to investigate the situation in the Green Radish Sect.
In the end, near the Green Radish Sect, you were ambushed by an unknown cultivator who was already prepared. You were captured and your storage ring was taken away. They used your communication token to send a message to me, leading me into a trap … In the end, those unknown cultivators handed you over to Elder Murong? "
Dantai Qingrun nodded in confirmation.
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Then it's better not to inform the Zhishou Tower of this news for now."
"You're suspecting me?" Dantai Qingrun bit her lip. She was somewhat unwilling to believe it.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. "You're a cultivator from the Spring Embroidery Sect. Someone who could give you a mission through the Zhishou Tower must have an extremely high status in the Zhishou Tower.
When I received the message from your token, I went to the Blade Island and met a cultivator from the Zhishou Tower. "
Immediately, he told Dantai Qingrun about his encounter on the Blade Island.
Dantai Qingrun was imprisoned in a secret room at the time, so she did not know about Lu Qingshan's battle achievements in the Green Radish Sect.
Now that she suddenly learned that Lu Qingshan had killed three early-stage Unification cultivators on the Blade Island, she was instantly dazzled. She no longer maintained her cold demeanor, and was dumbfounded. "You've already reached the Soul Formation stage, and you have the battle prowess of a level-seven cultivator?"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
This former Tower Lord of the Origin Mountain Tower could not help but raise her sharp chin. She was so shocked that she did not know what to say.
Lu Qingshan was still going on. "So, there's no doubt that the Zhishou Tower's interior … has been infiltrated by corruption, and a major figure has betrayed us."
"This matter is being manipulated by this major figure from the Zhishou Tower behind the scenes."
"Troubled times." He could not help but rub the space between his brows. He realized that things were getting more and more complicated.
The matter of the Spirit Huan Sect in the Central Spirit Region had not been settled yet, and the matter of Prince Qing here was not simple either.
Now that the Zhishou Tower's interior had been corrupted as well, it would take time and effort to uncover this "devil traitor", Lu Qingshan could not help but feel that he had lost sight of the other.
It was simply pervasive.
However, no matter how messy things were, they could only be solved one by one.
The matter of the Spirit Huan Sect was currently being handled by the Sword Sect. Lu Qingshan did not have to worry too much about it for now. Even if he wanted to, there was nothing he could do.
There was no room for him to interfere in the matters between two Taoist sects.
The matter of the Zhishou Tower was very important, but compared to the "bloody massacre of Prince Qing", it was nothing.
Therefore, the most important thing was to report this news as soon as possible.
.....
Lu Qingshan obtained the Spirit Jade and went to look for the Water Moon Abbey Dean.
Outside an exquisite pavilion.
"Young Master Lu," When the young female Taoist priest of Lotus Peak saw Lu Qingshan, she quickly stepped forward and greeted him very politely.
Lu Qingshan could be considered a frequent visitor of Lotus Flower Peak. How could the female disciples of Lotus Flower Peak not know that this handsome sword cultivator was deeply liked by their own monastery master and senior sister, so they had always been very polite to him.
"I'm looking for the Abbey Dean. Please pass on the message," Lu Qingshan said.
"Okay." The young female Taoist priest was very tactful. She immediately ran into the pavilion to pass on the message.
Not long after, the young female Taoist priest ran out and nodded at Lu Qingshan.
After receiving a confirmation, Lu Qingshan strolled into the pavilion and saw the Water Moon Abbey Dean sitting behind a table. Her eyes were filled with wisdom, and she was looking at him gently and calmly with a sense of intimacy.
"Aren't you spending time with your close female friend? Why do you have time to look for me? "The Water Moon Abbey Dean was already very familiar with Lu Qingshan. She even had the mood to tease him.
Lu Qingshan shook his head. He didn't take the Water Moon Abbey Dean's teasing seriously. He directly took out the Spirit Jade, "Abbey Dean, please take a look."
Seeing Lu Qingshan's expression, the Water Moon Abbey Dean's eyes twitched. She reached out her right hand and grabbed the Spirit Jade. At the same time, she asked, "What happened?"
As she spoke, she had already probed the Spirit Jade with her Divine Sense.
After a while, the Water Moon Abbey Dean's pupils suddenly shrank. She suddenly stood up from her seat and stared at Lu Qingshan, waiting for him to explain the situation.
Lu Qingshan didn't keep her in suspense. He explained the cause and effect in detail.
The Water Moon Abbey Dean was silent for a few seconds. Then she asked, "Do you have any other clues?"
Lu Qingshan thought for a while and said, "I'm preparing to return to the Green Radish Sect to investigate the situation."
"There's a big problem with Ancestor Green Radish." He said with certainty.
Previously, he had wondered if Ancestor Green Radish's attitude was too friendly.
He had also wondered if there were other cultivators of the Hades in the Green Radish Sect other than Elder Murong.
But at that time, Dantai Qingrun's situation wasn't optimistic. He didn't dare to delay and rushed to the Tianji Temple. Therefore, he didn't stay in the Green Radish Sect for long.
Now that he thought about it, the Green Radish Sect seemed to be even more suspicious.
Why would the person who delivered the message give this Spirit Jade to Dantai Qingrun?
One had to know that at that time, Dantai Qingrun was clearly in a situation where she was imprisoned.
Unless … someone was sure that Dantai Qingrun would be released soon and knew that Lu Qingshan would rescue Dantai Qingrun.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but shudder. He had a feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Then, Lu Qingshan explained his previous speculation in detail.
"If Prince Qing really massacred, the scale would be incomparably large. The Tianji Temple's intelligence network is the best in the world. Didn't you find any clues?"
He couldn't help but ask, "Also, for a long time before, Prince Qing's subordinates were massacring sects and creating tragedies. Why didn't the Tianji Temple notice anything?"
For such a major event, the disciples of the Tianji Temple should have received news of it in the name of guarding the world.
"No." The Water Moon Temple Master shook her head and frowned. She said helplessly, "You know the price we have to pay for using our ability to investigate the Tianji Temple, so we usually don't use it easily.
Prince Qing is a member of the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family. We shouldn't interfere too deeply in his subordinates' matters. Otherwise, we'll get into trouble. "
"In addition, he intentionally hid it, so it's inevitable that the information will be blocked."
It wasn't that the Tianji Temple didn't have the ability to investigate Prince Qing.
It was just that the Tianji Temple and the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family coexisted in the Middle Heaven Region and could be considered allies.
Among them, the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family was the main force and the Tianji Temple was the support. Under such circumstances, the Tianji Temple shouldn't pay too much attention to the Da Xia Kingdom's royal family.
Lu Qingshan nodded. He could accept the Water Moon Temple Master's explanation. He didn't ask further, "How do you think we should deal with this matter, Water Moon Temple Master?"
The Water Moon Temple Master's expression was solemn, "Don't worry, I'll immediately inform Jing Hu about this matter. Then, I'll go to Tianhe City to meet with the Temple Master and inform her of the situation. I'll take your spiritual jade first."
Seeing Lu Qingshan nod, she said, "This matter is urgent. If you want to go to the Qingluo Gate to investigate, you should go as soon as possible. I also need to hurry."
.....
After reporting this matter, Lu Qingshan quickly wrote another spiritual letter to report this matter to the Eastern Region Sword Sect. Then, he informed Dantai Qingrun of his plan to leave the Tianji Temple and rush to the Qingluo Gate.
Lu Qingshan flew on his sword, leaving a streak of light in the sky. His speed was extremely fast.
"Blood slaughter, blood slaughter … I can't imagine. How dare Prince Qing?
With his cultivation base, if he wants to use blood slaughter to break through, he must bleed more than 30,000 miles, right?
But such a large scale blood slaughter can't be completed in a short period of time. It can't be done silently either. I'm afraid it won't be long before others find out and stop him. "
"I can think of all these things. If Prince Qing really wants to use blood slaughter to break through, there's no reason he wouldn't think of this. So, he must have a way to solve this problem …"
"How can this be solved?"
Lu Qingshan racked his brains and could only come up with two possibilities for now.
The first possibility was that Prince Qing had invincible strength and was confident that he could fight against a thousand people and forcefully slaughter them all.
The second possibility was that Prince Qing had some special method to deceive everyone and complete the blood slaughter before anyone could react.
He was more inclined to the second possibility.
Because if Prince Qing really had invincible strength, why would he need to resort to such crooked methods?
Moreover, Prince Qing had just been defeated by Li Qiubai not long ago.
What method did Prince Qing have that gave him the confidence to deceive everyone?
As he pondered, Lu Qingshan saw the Qingluo Gate in the distance, which no longer had a sect-protecting formation.
