The demonic cultivator saw Du E's posture and knew what he was thinking.
But he was relying on Lord Zhaoling's breath, so he could only pretend not to know.
The demonic cultivator asked, "What have you been doing these days?"
The demonic cultivator's voice was not as strong as before. It revealed a strong sense of weakness. Du E looked up and saw the demonic cultivator's bloodless face. His eyes were scarlet and his Spirit Qi was flowing out uncontrollably. The demonic cultivator panicked. "You're injured. Who hurt you?"
Lord Zhaoling was very satisfied with Du E's concern.
The more Du E cared about the demonic cultivator, the more it meant that their relationship was unbreakable. Du E and the demonic cultivator were more useful.
The demonic cultivator looked down to hide the murderous aura in his eyes. He said calmly, "Something happened during cultivation. It's no big deal. What have you been doing these days?"
The demonic cultivator used to ask Du E some questions. Du E answered without thinking, "I've been busy with the sect competition these days."
Du E subconsciously hid the matter of the strange cave.
But the demonic cultivator continued to ask, "What else?"
Du E was stunned. Then he told the demonic cultivator about the discovery of the cave.
Hearing Du E mention the cave, Lord Zhaoling pretended to be cold. "Someone actually set up such a sinister array in the human world. Did you find out who did it?"
Du E shook his head. "When we went in, the array was already broken. We didn't find out."
Lord Zhaoling wanted to see if he could get some information about the array from Du E, but he didn't expect Du E to tell him that he didn't know anything.
Lord Zhaoling's face turned cold. Feeling Lord Zhaoling's displeasure, the demonic cultivator felt bitter. He could only continue to ask, "When did you enter the cave yesterday?"
Du E said, "In the morning."
Hearing this, Lord Zhaoling and the demonic cultivator immediately looked at each other.
This time was 15 minutes after the array was broken. That was to say, the person who broke the array entered the cave before Du E and the others.
"Has anyone entered the cave before this?"
Du E wanted to say no, but he suddenly remembered that Jiujiu had entered the cave before them. His expression froze. Lord Zhaoling instantly saw something strange. "Before you, someone entered the cave?"
This was not a question. It was a statement.
"Yes. A disciple of the Xuantian Sect called Jiujiu entered the cave before us."
Du E felt a little embarrassed that a little disciple of the Xuantian Sect had entered the cave before him, so he added, "Before she went in, there was no more spiritual Qi in the cave. She just walked around and came out."
Although Du 'e said it casually, Lord Zhaoling and the Fiendish Cultivator did not think so.
The array formation was broken before Du E and the others went in. Among Du E and the others, only the one called Jiujiu had gone in. If nothing went wrong, the one who broke the array formation was Jiujiu.
.. E. e............. E........... s..
Du 'e didn't know why the Devil Cultivator and Lord Zhaoling were so interested in Jiujiu, so he answered, "He is a Sword Cultivator with a Nascent Soul cultivation. He seems to be in his twenties this year."
. "Du E's answer stunned the Demonic Cultivator." Nascent Soul in her twenties? "
Even a genius like him had only reached the late-stage Golden Core in his fifties. This disciple had reached the Nascent Soul in her twenties. In less than a thousand years, she would definitely ascend.
Thinking of Jiujiu's identity as a sword cultivator, the Demonic Cultivator and Lord Zhaoling's expressions turned ugly.
The Demonic Cultivator thought of his identity as a Demonic Cultivator. Even if Jiujiu ascended thousands of years later than him, she could still kill him.
Lord Zhaoling thought of the astrological prophecy. Liu Su, who was sent to the other world by Lord Dongyuan, was also a sword cultivator.
They were both geniuses and sword cultivators. Was it a coincidence or …
Seeing that the Demonic Cultivator and Lord Zhaoling were stunned by Jiujiu, Du E's heart ached.
Although he was a reincarnated person, whether it was before he ascended or now, his talent was really average. Otherwise, he would not have given up on cultivating and become obsessed with power. He even degenerated himself to curry favor with the Demonic Cultivator in order to climb up.
He curried favor with the Demonic Cultivator in hopes that the Demonic Cultivator could help him ascend and find a good home for him in the Heaven Realm. But now that Jiujiu appeared, she attracted the attention of the Demonic Cultivator and Lord Zhaoling.
Du E did not know that Lord Zhaoling looked at cultivators like them like hungry wolves looking at lambs. He thought that Lord Zhaoling was shocked by Jiujiu's talent and immediately added, "Although this disciple is very talented, her personality is very bad. Just because our disciples were helpless against her Blackheaven Sect disciples, she humiliated them. I think that's all there is to it in the future."
Lord Zhaoling was not interested in Du E. A cultivator who remained at this cultivation level for thousands of years had mediocre talent and did not have much Spirit Qi.
But Lord Zhaoling was very interested in the Jiujiu that Du E mentioned.
Not only was she a sword cultivator, but she was also very talented. Not long after entering the cave, the formation core was broken. The incident in the cave was definitely related to this Jiujiu.
Lord Zhaoling's eyes darkened when he thought of the prophecy of the stars.
Perhaps this Jiujiu was Liusu.
But if it was really Liusu, the first thing she would do after breaking through the void and returning from the Alternate World would be to come to the Heaven Realm to find him and avenge Lord Dongyuan.
She did not go to the Heaven Realm to find him, nor did she go to the Alternate World to find Lord Dongyuan.
This could be an ordinary coincidence. This person might not be Liusu.
But whether this person was Liusu or not, he had to investigate thoroughly. He could not let go of any clues.
And if he wanted to find out whether Jiujiu had returned to the Heaven Realm, he had to find someone.
Lord Zhaoling waved his sleeves and left. The Demonic Cultivator ordered Du E to keep an eye on Jiujiu before hanging up.
The moment he hung up, the Demonic Cultivator spat out another mouthful of blood.
Both he and Lord Zhaoling thought that the array core had been broken this time, and that he had only been severely injured. They did not expect that he would suffer the backlash of karma.
Even though he was in the Heaven Realm and had the pills provided by Lord Zhaoling, it was still useless. His body continued to be weak. If this continued, he would not be able to escape the fate of death.
He had to find the person who broke the array. Only by killing this person could he continue to live.
Lord Zhaoling went directly to the wooden palace.
Looking at the cultivator shells that kept appearing, Lord Zhaoling's expression did not change. He went straight to Shang Yuanjun's room.
As Lord Zhaoling waved his sleeves, the heavy wooden door slowly opened, letting out a distant and heavy creak.
As the door opened, Shang Yuanjun appeared in front of Lord Zhaoling.
Shang Yuanjun used to be such a powerful person. Besides Lord Dongyuan, he had the highest cultivation level in the Heaven Realm. But now, he had become neither a god nor a demon. He could not even do something as small as walking out of the wooden door.
Shang Yuanjun heard the noise and turned his head slightly.
His movements were slow. As his neck turned, there was a teeth-numbing creak in the air.
This was the sound of his neck not turning for a long time.
