Xiao Yicai Dies? A New Round of Revelations Begins!

Heaven-Reaching Peak, Yuqing Hall.

True Lord Daoxuan returned alone from Little Bamboo Peak.

He sat cross-legged in the meditation chamber in silence, pondering the many upheavals that had occurred tonight. His heart gradually grew heavy...

A moment later.

True Lord Daoxuan slowly rose from his meditation cushion.

Without making a sound, he left Yuqing Hall and made his way to the Ancestor Shrine in the rear mountain...

"Junior Brother."

Looking at the Elder in coarse clothes not far away, True Lord Daoxuan asked calmly, "You left Yuqing Hall tonight?"

Hearing this.

Wan Jianyi slightly raised his eyes.

Looking at the Sect Master True Person before him, who possessed the bearing of an Immortal, he could not help but sneer. "As expected of the legendary Great Purity Realm. Nothing can be hidden from you..."

Wan Jianyi's voice was extremely cold.

True Lord Daoxuan opened his mouth.

He wanted to ask what Wan Jianyi had gone to do after leaving the Ancestor Shrine, but...

Reason told him that he should trust his Junior Brother.

"Alas."

True Lord Daoxuan sighed. "Junior Brother, do you still not intend to let it go?"

"Let it go?"

Wan Jianyi sneered. "What is there left for a dead man who cannot see the light to let go of?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

True Lord Daoxuan said nothing more.

Because...

Wan Jianyi was right.

He was already a dead man who could not see the light.

What difference did it make whether he let it go or not? In the end, he could only live like this for the rest of his life!

For a time, the atmosphere gradually turned cold.

A moment later.

Wan Jianyi suddenly said, "Earlier, I went to see someone."

"Who?"

A few guesses surfaced in True Lord Daoxuan's heart.

Wan Jianyi replied indifferently, "Hadn't you already guessed?"

True Lord Daoxuan fell silent for a moment.

He stared blankly at the Elder in coarse clothes before him, then shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh. "I nearly forgot. Junior Brother, you are also a sword cultivator. If anyone in the Qingyun Sect could trace 'his' location through the lingering Sword Intent, I'm afraid only you could do it."

Wan Jianyi said nothing.

True Lord Daoxuan asked, "Which branch's disciple is he?"

Hearing this.

Wan Jianyi glanced up at him and said calmly, "I promised him I would keep it secret. If you want to know, go find out yourself..."

"Oh, right."

"I think he is more suited to be Sect Master than you."

As soon as these words were spoken.

True Lord Daoxuan's expression remained unchanged.

He said evenly, "If 'he' is more suited to be Sect Master than I am, then in the future, I can simply pass the position on to him."

Wan Jianyi said with interest, "What? You no longer plan to pass the position of Sect Master to Xiao Yicai?"

True Lord Daoxuan slowly turned around.

His gaze fell upon the Heavenly Curtain above the Sky Dome. With a soft sigh, he said, "Even if I want to pass it to Yicai, what can I do? People of the World all believe that 'he' is the Azure Cloud Sect Leader. Then only 'he' can become the Azure Cloud Sect Leader!!"

He who wins the hearts of the people can win the world.

Now, whenever the Azure Cloud Sect Leader was mentioned?

People of the World would probably be the first to think of the person exposed on the Heavenly Curtain!

Wan Jianyi did not mind in the slightest.

He casually said, "He also told me something."

"What was it?"

True Lord Daoxuan asked.

"He said..."

Wan Jianyi paused slightly. "He said there is a traitor within the Qingyun Sect."

Hearing this.

True Lord Daoxuan's gaze flickered slightly.

"Did he say who it was?"

"...Cangsong."

Wan Jianyi slowly uttered a name.

As soon as these words were spoken.

True Lord Daoxuan's heart suddenly sank.

"I understand."

Not a trace of emotion could be heard in his voice. He turned and melted into the darkness, disappearing not long afterward...

The next day.

The Qingyun Sect publicized last night's attack by the Demonic Sect.

In an instant.

The entire Shenzhou Cultivation World was shaken.

Whether it was the many sects of the Righteous Path or the countless independent cultivators of the cultivation world, all of them were stunned. None had expected the Demonic Sect to be so bold as to secretly infiltrate the Qingyun Sect and launch a nighttime raid!

For a time, Every sect sent letters inquiring with the Qingyun Sect.

While replying to each letter, the Qingyun Sect also spread the full account of events—the Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin, Zhou Yin, had launched a nighttime attack on Little Bamboo Peak, intending to secretly assassinate Qingyun's Prodigy, Lu Xueqi. Yet not only had he failed, he had instead been slain by the next Azure Cloud Sect Leader with a single sword strike.

Hearing this.

The various sects of the Righteous Path were shocked.

The Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin, Zhou Yin, was dead?

And he had died at the hands of the next Azure Cloud Sect Leader?

For a time, Undercurrents surged through the cultivation world.

Originally, quite a few people had doubted whether this so-called "Azure Cloud Sect Leader" truly existed.

But after the Qingyun Sect's announcement.

Those doubts quickly faded away.

Many disciples of the Righteous Path began to grow excited. If the "Azure Cloud Sect Leader" exposed on the Heavenly Curtain truly existed, then it meant the Demonic Sect would be destroyed in the future. That was tremendously good news...

Unlike the excited disciples of the Righteous Path.

The disciples of the Four Great Sects of the Demonic Sect gradually began to panic.

Regarding this.

The Four Great Sect Masters were somewhat helpless as well.

After all... everything the Qingyun Sect had publicized was true. Their assassination plan had indeed failed, and the Demonic Cult's Number One Assassin, Zhou Yin, had indeed died.

When he first learned of this matter.

Yuyangzi had flown into a rage. So many people had been sent out, yet Longevity Hall was the only one that had lost an important figure?!

Was this a joke?

Huqi Mountain, Ghost King Sect headquarters.

Wan Renwang stood alone by the Blood Pool.

He held a letter in his hand. It recorded a great deal of intelligence from the cultivation world, including the information the Qingyun Sect had proactively spread...

"Azure Cloud Sect Leader!?"

Wan Renwang's gaze flickered slightly.

According to the assassins the Ghost King Sect had secretly sent into Qingyun Sect's Seven Peaks—

they had indeed seen an immense Sword Qi above Little Bamboo Peak that night. Its terrifying Sword Intent had nearly torn apart the entire Sky Dome, illuminating more than half of Qingyun Sect. Frightened by it, they had chosen to retreat immediately.

"Sect Leader."

Just then.

A voice sounded from behind him.

Azure Dragon slowly walked in from outside the valley.

His left hand gripped a bloody head, while his right carried an unusual divine sword.

"Who would have thought Qingyun Sect's Xiao Yicai was really an undercover agent in the Blood Refining Hall?"

"Heh—"

"The Myriad Poisons Sect's intelligence network is quite capable."

Azure Dragon tossed 'Xiao Yicai's' head aside.

Then, he handed the Seven Star Sword in his hand to Wan Renwang.

Wan Renwang reached out and took it.

He looked at the Seven Star Sword in his hand, his gaze flickering faintly for a moment.

"It seems..."

"The Myriad Poisons Sect must have turned a Head of one of Qingyun Sect's peaks."

Wan Renwang spoke slowly.

Azure Dragon nodded slightly.

Otherwise, the Myriad Poisons Sect could not possibly have possessed such precise intelligence.

"Sect Leader."

"What should we do next?"

Azure Dragon asked.

Now, the assassination plan had failed.

And Xiao Yicai was not the Azure Cloud Sect Leader revealed by the Heavenly Curtain.

What else could they do?

Wan Renwang raised his head slightly.

He turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Curtain above the Sky Dome and said slowly, "Wait quietly for Kui Niu to emerge, and keep an eye on the information revealed by the next Heavenly Curtain."

Now, more than a month had passed since the first Heavenly Curtain revelation. In just over another month, the Second Heavenly Curtain revelation would begin...

"Yes, Sect Leader."
