As a golden sun slowly rose.

All things revived.

In the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Daoist Wang Yu and Daoist Chen Hua reluctantly bid farewell to Su Changyu and Grand Hua Daoist.

An hour after they left.

Finally, a disciple couldn't help but speak.

"Elders, is that Senior Su really the Inspector Commander of Jin State?"

A disciple spoke, unable to contain his curiosity.

As soon as he said this, Daoist Wang Yu's voice rang out.

"Naturally."

Su Changyu was gone, and his sycophantic demeanor instantly vanished, replaced by one of great authority. He treated the disciples with a touch of aloofness.

"But"

Just then, the disciple couldn't help but speak again, wanting to say something, when Daoist Wang Yu's voice cut him off.

"I know what you want to say. Aren't you curious that the Inspector Commander's cultivation seemed very ordinary? Perhaps only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Daoist Wang Yu had voiced the disciple's inner doubts.

It wasn't just his doubts; in fact, many disciples were curious. Their own cultivation levels were at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, or even at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Naturally, they could tell Su Changyu and Grand Hua Daoist's cultivation realms at a glance.

Even Daoist Chen Hua was a little curious, but seeing Daoist Wang Yu's fawning attitude, he didn't dare to act rashly and could only follow suit.

"Yes."

The disciple admitted, bracing himself. He was indeed a little curious, but since Su Changyu and the others were present, they hadn't said much. Now that they were gone, he couldn't help but voice his doubts.

However, Daoist Wang Yu let out a cold laugh.

"Heh!"

"Heh!"

"Heh!"

His three cold laughs carried a hint of indifference, a touch of mockery, a trace of coldness, and a sliver of disappointment.

This cold laughter put everyone present under an inexplicable pressure, making them afraid to speak.

"How truly foolish."

Daoist Wang Yu's voice boomed like thunder, stunning everyone.

The next moment, Wang Yu continued.

"Can't you even see through such a simple test? The Inspector Commander of Jin State is the foremost Sword Dao expert in Jin State. His strength is likely at the Golden Core Perfection, or even has condensed a Nascent Soul. For an existence of this level, wouldn't it be easy to disguise himself as a Qi Refining cultivator?"

After saying this, Wang Yu's demeanor suddenly changed, becoming very unassuming.

"Look at me now, what is my cultivation level?"

Wang Yu spoke, and the disciples all looked at him. Soon, they all fell silent.

Because Wang Yu had suppressed his own cultivation to appear to be around the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining, showing no trace of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's aura.

"Powerful cultivators can suppress their cultivation realms. The duty of the Inspector Commander is to monitor the sects and officials of Jin State on behalf of the Jin State's monarch, so their movements are extremely important."

"They cannot expose their identities because once their identities are exposed, their position as Inspector Commander would be over. If it were you, and you didn't want others to notice, what would you do?"

"Senior Su is a smart person, an exceptionally smart person. Not only did he suppress his cultivation to the Qi Refining realm, but he also had his subordinate impersonate his master. To make the disguise even more convincing, I even suspect Senior Su created a low-tier sect."

"All of this was to throw people off the scent. Listen to me, everyone: sometimes what you hear is false, and what you see is also false. Many things require your own judgment and keen perception. Just like when Pan Ling had a sudden realization of Sword Momentum, there was a sudden clap of thunder."

"Everyone was scared pale, but do you know how Senior Su reacted?"

Wang Yu spoke clearly, word by word.

And everyone was very curious about Su Changyu's reaction.

"Calm!"

"Absolute calm!"

"Everyone was startled, including Elder Chen and even myself, but Senior Su didn't even blink. His gaze was incredibly serene. Is this the state of mind a Qi Refining cultivator can possess?"

"You can ask Elder Chen, how accurate is my judgment?"

Daoist Wang Yu's lengthy explanation left the disciples stunned.

Even Daoist Chen Hua was a little taken aback.

In fact, there was one point he was also suspicious about.

But now, after hearing Daoist Wang Yu's words, how could he dare to voice his inner thoughts?

The main reason was that Daoist Wang Yu spoke so logically that you couldn't find any flaws.

Thinking of this, Daoist Chen Hua nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I agree with Elder Wang Yu. You are all still too young and superficial."

Grand Hua Daoist spoke righteously.

At that very moment, Daoist Wang Yu looked at the disciple with evident anger.

"We cultivators should be rewarded by the Heavenly Dao for our diligence and strive for progress, not question others. Don't be like frogs in a well, and don't be complacent. You can question, but you must provide evidence. Do you think this evidence, which looks so fake, is actually evidence?"

"I know, you also want to ask why the other person was injured. If he were truly a strong individual, how could he get injured?"

"I can tell you right now, it was all an act for you to see."

"This kind of trick, anyone with a bit of insight can tell. A mere healing medicine can cure it on the spot? Was that an injury? That was all an act for you to see."

"Truly foolish."

Daoist Wang Yu became more agitated and angrier as he spoke, finally exclaiming.

"If you maintain this kind of mindset, when you encounter those cunning disciples of the Demonic Cult in the future, you'll understand what 'seeing is deceiving' truly means."

Daoist Wang Yu said, regretting their lack of progress.

"It was my disciple's recklessness. Please forgive me, Elder."

The latter was completely convinced and dared not question further. He quickly retreated.

"I believe he is the Inspector Commander. Otherwise, how could he, with just a few words, make Senior Brother Pan comprehend the Summer Thunder Sword Intent? Besides the foremost Sword Dao expert in Jin State, who else could do that?"

"Indeed, 'A blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars' – such a powerful statement, how could it possibly be uttered by a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator?"

"Right, right, this must be the Inspector Commander."

Soon, the disciples began to discuss amongst themselves. While some disciples had initially been somewhat doubtful, after hearing Daoist Wang Yu's speech, who would dare to question anymore? Moreover, what Daoist Wang Yu said made a lot of sense.

No, it wasn't just a lot of sense; it made perfect sense.

Su Changyu looked exactly like an unparalleled master.

His gaze was incredibly calm; he wasn't even startled by what had happened.

He made someone attain enlightenment with just a sentence.

All of the above was enough to prove that Su Changyu was an unparalleled master.

If he wasn't, then who was?

Furthermore, with the image as evidence, if they still questioned it, wouldn't that be forced slander?

Meanwhile, outside the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Su Changyu and Grand Hua Daoist also appeared somewhat puzzled.

They had discussed it all the way, wondering why the Four Thunder Sword Sect had been so good to them.

However, they hadn't reached any reasonable conclusion after their discussion.

In the end, the two of them stopped discussing the topic.

Because no matter what, they had gotten out. Apart from Su Changyu losing ten years of his lifespan, there were no major issues.

They even managed to bring out Spirit Essence Stones and a bottle of White Dew Spirit Pills.

This was a huge profit.

And within the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Xu Luochen, with a smile, arrived at the back cliff.
