Very purposefully, Xuan Yin took a black object from under a certain tree and left. There was no extra time before or after, and it came and went very simply.
After she left, Qing Yu silently appeared under that tree.
“So that’s how it is ——”
Looking at the dark red mud that had turned up under the tree, Qing Yu said to himself, “Because there had been injured or dead people lying here, the blood stains and this overwhelming trace made me unconsciously overlook this strange situation.”
“What a blind eye.” Qing Yu laughed to himself.
With his superior perception and strong eyesight, Qing Yu knew his surroundings like the back of his hand. However, due to the presence of blood and some traces, Qing Yu did not think there was anything strange about the place.
This inadvertent neglect seemed to have made him miss certain clues.
”Just now, the Remaining Shadow Stone that Xuan Yin took away, who could have left it behind?” Qing Yu thought as he looked back in the direction Xuan Yin had left.
The black object was small, but Qing Yu clearly recognised what it was.
A shadow retention stone that could retain its influence.
At this time, Zhang Xuanji also emerged from the clearing over there and said, “What was that just now?”
He was not Qing Yu and was not able to cover his tracks easily. After entering the underground, Zhang Xuanji had collected all his aura and had not emitted his divine thoughts, so he did not know who was coming.
“Xuan Yin, the Kun Yin Peak Master of the True Martial Sect.” Qing Yu did not hide his identity from him and told him the identity of Xuan Yin.
There was no point in concealing it, but it would make the other party suspicious. As long as he did not reveal his plans, it would be fine.
“Xuan Yin of the True Martial Sect,” Zhang Xuanji said, “I remember that Xuan Chen, the head of the True Martial Sect, came here personally this time. Along with him, there are Xuan Ming, Xuan Yin, and Tong Ming, one of the Three Elders of True Martial Arts. Xuan Yin, what is she doing here?”
“I don’t know, Xuan Yin took an object from here and left.” Qing Yu pointed to the pit at his feet.
“An object ——” Zhang Xuanji went over and surveyed it, “Generally speaking, this should be some kind of letter, or some means of transmitting a message.”
Also a veteran of many years, Zhang Xuanji guessed what Xuan Yin had come here to fetch as soon as he guessed.
“Xuan Yin seems to be an old member of Xuan Fa back in the day, right? She’s sneaking around here to collect some sort of messenger item. I’m afraid there’s going to be chaos within the True Martial Sect.” Zhang Xuanji smiled.
He was not a member of the True Martial Sect, nor did he have anything to do with it, so he only watched the Xuan Yin incident as a hoot. But Qing Yu, however, thought of something else from his words.
”Zhang Xuanji thought that Xuan Yin was trying to collude with external forces to work against Xuan Chen. Little did he know that the True Martial Sect was in fact already experiencing dark currents within and was about to explode. Xuan Yin was originally a flagrantly anti-patriarchal sect in the True Martial Sect.”
”But there is some truth to his words. With all this sneaking around, it is highly likely that he is trying to collude with outsiders. But Xuan Yin, who is he trying to collude with ——” Qing Yu pondered deeply in his mind.
The fact is that colluding with outsiders should not have happened to Xuan Yin. The generation of Xuan Yin Xuan Zhen, all grew up in the True Martial Arts Sect, and are looking at the sect as home.
They would not be ignorant of the principle of leading a wolf into a house. When Xuan Goblet hated Xuan Chen so much, he had never even thought of drawing outsiders to deal with him.
But now, Xuan Yin was the first sign of this. This most indifferent senior uncle was the one who wanted to use the most dangerous and fierce means.
”And that untrustworthy person Xuan Zhen spoke of ——”
Qing Yu remembered again what Xuan Zhen had once said.
Of the two, Xuan Yin and Xuan Lin, it was highly likely that someone had secretly defected to Xuan Chen.
For both of these two, Qing Yu had his suspicions. Xuan Yin was cold in nature and Xuan Lin was more gentle, and from the looks of things, the cold Xuan Yin did not look like he was working undercover.
But everything cannot be taken at face value. Qing Yu’s suspicion of these two was half to half, both of them were possible.
But now ——
”Looking at Xuan Yin in this situation, it doesn’t look like he’s secretly defecting to Xuan Chen, so it’s Xuan Lin? But what is the explanation for this situation with Xuan Yin?”
Qing Yu got a bit of a headache.
From the current situation, apart from the fact that someone had betrayed, there was the additional claim that Xuan Yin was suspected of trying to lure the wolf into the house. It had to be said, within the True Martial Sect, it was really chaotic.
If all this chaos were to break out, the True Martial Sect might fall even faster than the Luofu Palace. Of course, it could also end the chaos and rise again after the eventual reunification.
”It’s just that, it’s better to wait and see what happens.”
Qing Yu thought this and said to Zhang Xuanji, “This matter has nothing to do with us, let’s just watch the good show from the sidelines.”
“Yes, I have enough on my plate,” Zhang Xuanji shook his head helplessly.
He took a pill out of his sleeve and took it, laughing, “I don’t even dare to show my face right now.”
Zhang Xuanji’s facial muscles shook violently, and as his true qi helped to adjust, his face turned back to the plain, una*suming look it had before.
“From this morning until now, people from Dragon Tiger Mountain have been staring at us. Those eyes, they hate to eat us up.” Zhang Xuanji said with a sigh.
After walking out from the mountain, he did talk a lot more and his facial expressions were much richer. When Qing Yu went to Zhang Xuanji at first, he was the one with a dead face all day long.
“They don’t hate to eat you, they hate to eat you.” Qing Yu corrected teasingly.
The matter of the Divine Sky Dao was still too distant. In a few hundred years, all those below the Divine Origin realm had basically turned to dust, and the True Dan realm was similar.
To the current Long Hu Mountain disciples, the Divine Sky Dao was a traitor who was at odds with them, nothing more. They were more likely to hate and want to kill Zhang Xuanji more than Shenxiao Dao.
It had only been twenty years since Zhang Xuanji’s defection, but the memory of it was particularly fresh in Mount Longhu.
In particular, many of the disciples of the sub-divisions had suffered a lot because of Zhang Xuanji. They thought day and night that they wanted to kill Zhang Xuanji, the traitor, with a thousand cuts and bones.
“It’s looking for me,” Zhang Xuanji laughed lightly, “but I can also take this opportunity to capture a True Dan realm martial artist from Dragon Tiger Mountain. The Blood Demon Sect is everywhere now anyway, so maybe they’ve met the Blood Shadows?”
Zhang Xuanji was not someone who just took a beating and didn’t fight back, as the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain were watching him, he was also looking for an opportunity to capture a True Dan from Dragon Tiger Mountain. The relationship between hunter and prey could be reversed at any time.
“Then let’s help you move smoothly.”
“Right,” three pure white pills flew out of Qing Yu’s sleeve, “these three pills, you find an opportunity to crush them near Xuan Ming of the True Martial Sect.”
“True Martial Sect Xuan Ming, you have a grudge against him?” Zhang Xuanji said, “Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. However, if you seek my help, you have to pay a corresponding price.”
“If Tal Wuyan wants to turn against you, I can help you.”
Again, he was helping himself. Now it was Zhang Xuanji, the next one might be him, Qing Yu.
“Deal.”
