Qin Ziwei recounted her ordeal in detail.
"I can't fathom the cultivation level of that Daoist in black robes, yet he can command extremely ferocious demons. He is very likely a Nascent Soul level figure, and he wears Law Seals that is only found among disciples of the True Net Cult."
"I didn't see wrong!"
As if afraid the two True Lord wouldn't believe him, Qin Ziwei added this.
True Lord Xuantong's expression immediately darkened, and he began to ponder deeply.
True Lord Qingyu remained silent.
Since Primordial Tower Monastery was the first to be eliminated, it naturally attracted the attention of the other teams.
From the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, a dazzling array of starlight shone, and the voice of True Lord Baishi came from within.
" Xuantong Daoist Xuantong, has something gone wrong?"
Primordial Tower Monastery has always lived in seclusion, but each generation has produced Nascent Soul, thus holding considerable weight in the eyes of a major sect like Taixing Xuanzong.
After thinking it over, True Lord Xuantong decided it was best to inform everyone about this matter, so he spoke frankly about it.
Upon hearing that there were people capable of controlling demons, and that a cultivator suspected to be a successor of the True Net Cult had appeared, forcing Qin Ziwei, a successor of the Primordial Tower Monastery, to destroy his physical body with just one move, only escaping with his soul, the expressions of the cultivators immediately became solemn.
But there is one more thing.
Before Qin Ziwei out, Chen Shuangbai also had him reveal to the True Lord that the cultivators from Lotus Temple and Parting Hate Gate had infiltrated [ Pengyu Heaven ].
Instantly, five gazes fell upon the blood-red cloud in the northwest, and upon the composed and unassuming True Lord Youluo.
Facing the questioning gazes of five fellow cultivators, this True Lord showed no fear, but merely smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please don't misunderstand me."
"This is Grotto-Heaven; how could a mere Nascent Soul Early Stage like myself possibly squeeze through an opening and send someone inside?"
True Lord Qingyu chuckled.
"He's good at making excuses, isn't he?"
The blood-red eyes of True Lord Youluo met those of the True Lord seated on the jade platform. The Pavilion Master of the Turbid Lang Pavilion sneered, "You think you have the Holy Origin Demonic Alliance behind you, and that everyone is afraid to make a move against you, is that it?"
" Youluo didn't mean that, fellow Daoist, you're overthinking it."
"Whether you're overthinking it or not, you all know perfectly well... You'd better pray that all your heirs can get out, otherwise... hehe, do you think you can escape from the hands of us?"
True Lord Baishi remained silent.
He's already making calculations.
Even though they were separated by Grotto-Heaven, Hong Qing was the current successor of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect Heavenly Star Mystic Sect and had a deep connection with it. In addition, the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect had a unique divination technique, so he was able to deduce some of the secrets.
After a brief deduction, and learning that nothing untoward had happened to Hong Qing, True Lord Baishi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But this place is South Splendor Mountain, which is the territory of his Heavenly Star Mystic Sect. Since True Lord Qingyu has named him so specifically, he can't say anything more.
Then, the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage True Lord raised his hand and pointed, a spark flew out from his fingertip and landed on the head of True Lord Youluo in an instant.
The True Lord instinctively wanted to resist, but the spark instantly shone brightly, transforming into a divine fire shield that fell from the sky.
The fire dragon rolled and roared, its intense heat swirling around it, annihilating the dark light released by True Lord Youluo.
True Lord Youluo's expression darkened slightly, and he shouted sternly, " True Lord Baishi, what are you doing?"
"You should know that I have come here on the orders of the leader of my Holy Origin Alliance, the True Lord Hentian!"
The voice of True Lord Baishi remained unchanged, simply stating, "Don't try to intimidate Hentian with the name of that old monster Hentian."
"I myself have fought against him in the past."
"If you're so capable, then escape from this divine fire shield of mine... Otherwise, shut your mouth and don't force me to refine you to death on the spot!"
True Lord Youluo then fell silent.
True Lord Baishi added, "Once they're all out, a comparison will reveal the truth."
The other True Lord were satisfied with his actions and praised True Lord Baishi for his benevolence and righteousness.
True Lord Mingxia emerged from the starlight, asking with some concern, "Uncle-Master, I wonder about Shuyan...?"
The eyes of True Lord Baishi seemed to hold a sea of stars. He casually waved his hand, "With Qing'er here, there won't be any major problems."
True Lord Mingxia was slightly relieved. She wanted to ask something, but seeing True Lord Baishi's appearance, she didn't dare to ask and could only obediently walk to the side.
True Lord Xuanwu stood amidst a purple, shimmering thundercloud, his face expressionless, yet his mind was racing with calculations.
"I told you long ago, these bald monks are really weak... and look, they've already given themselves away so quickly..."
The Lotus Temple suffered great losses on this trip, which is why Arrayed Mystery Sect agreed to let his family members enter.
But the exposure was so quick...
"Fortunately, they didn't expose my family."
The Arrayed Mystery Sect also had its own plans for coming here.
It wouldn't be ideal to expose it so early.
Soaring Jade Palace.
Liang Shuyan was holding the Crimson Fire Glazed Lamp when she took out a jade bottle from her bosom, retrieved a pill from it, refined it with her Law Power, and transferred it into Hong Qing's body.
Hong Qing spat out a mouthful of golden blood crackling with purple lightning. The Five Luminaries Light Wheel behind his head, which had been slightly dimmed, shone brightly again with the help of his profound cultivation and the pills. The Five Elements spun, and his aura grew rapidly stronger.
The Heavenly Star Mystic Sect and the Arrayed Mystery Sect have old grudges, and now new hatred has been added.
Upon meeting, Hong Qing and Jixuan disregarded everything and decisively attacked with all their might, determined to kill each other.
Both sides were aiming to kill each other with every move, but in the end, Hong Qing, who had mastered the Five Luminaries Divine Ability, had a slight advantage, severely injuring Jixuan and forcing him to use a trump card, sacrificing a Law Treasure, and escape with serious injuries.
After a short rest, the two successfully entered the palace and found the rituals and Secret Method they sought.
A look of joy appeared on Liang Shuyan's face as she exclaimed, "Senior Brother Hong, this is great! Now the alliance has a way to counter the Arrayed Mystery Sect!"
Hong Qing nodded, a hint of joy in his eyes.
At that moment, they all noticed the golden light that allowed Qin Ziwei to escape from the Grotto-Heaven with the help of the guiding talisman.
"Hey, someone escaped... Could it be Jixuan?"
Liang Shuyan began to speculate with ill intent.
Hong Qing pondered for a moment.
"That doesn't seem like it. Jixuan does have some skill... and he's a direct descendant of that Supreme Elder of the Arrayed Mystery Sect, so he probably has quite a few life-saving pills on him."
"Who could that be...?"
Liang Shuyan, valued by True Lord Mingxia, closely followed Hong Qing. Understanding her role as an assistant, she wanted to play a small part and secretly pondered.
"Could it be Qin Ziwei from Primordial Tower Monastery... or that person from the Transformation Sect... it couldn't possibly be that Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, could it?"
Hong Qing interrupted his junior sister's speculation, saying, "Don't think about it too much yet. There are quite a few ancient books here, many of which are well-preserved. Let's take them all out."
"Yes, senior brother."
