The result of Pei Dongliu’s challenge to Mu Cansheng was naturally obvious.
With the name of 10th in the Heavenly Ranking, Mu Cansheng gave Pei Dongliu the title of “Number One in the World”, showing his outstanding strength.
However, neither the person concerned nor other outsiders would consider this title to be an honourable one.
For Pei Dongliu himself, this name was a deep shame.
“How daring.”
This was the voice of the crowd.
“Number One in the World” was certainly a disgraceful name, but it did not mean that Pei Dongliu himself was also a disgrace. Even if the name was a bit insulting, it was not something that anyone could hold up to.
“Since Pei Dongliu had worn this name for many years, he was truly the number one under the Heavenly Ranking.
Joke or shame, Pei Dongliu’s strength made it impossible for anyone to be unbridled in front of him.
However, today, this Blood Devil Sect’s blood-clothed youth was directly poking Pei Dongliu’s sore spot with his words.
“Blood Demon Sect’s rat, you do have a good set of guts.” Pei Dongliu looked at the blood-clothed youth with a storm in his eyes, and his aura, which was already soaring to the skies, rose once again, causing some of the less powerful people present to feel a considerable pressure.
“Blood Demon Sect Ling Blood Du, meet Instructor Pei,” Ling Blood Du smiled and owed his voice, “I wonder what is the reason for Instructor Pei, who is the number one expert in the Great Inner Circle and is in charge of the imperial offerings and the forbidden army in the palace, to come here?”
“I don’t think ——”
Ling Blood Du said with a smirk, “The imperial court wants to make a move on us Jianghu people, right?”
At these words, the hearts of the people present were all aghast.
Pei Dongliu was a member of the Great Qian Dynasty and was in charge of all the forces within the imperial city, a real big shot. Apart from the mysterious and unpredictable Imperial Ancestor, this man was the number one expert of the Great Qian Dynasty.
What was the intention of such a great figure of the Great Qian court to enter the Daoist Conference disguised as a member of Mingxuan Guan?
He couldn’t be trying to get at the Daoist sect, could he?
It was because of Pei Dongliu’s sensitive identity that when he showed his true face, the Daoists were all on guard, not at all happy to see the arrival of strong support.
Whether he was an enemy or a friend was still unknown, so it was not possible that Pei Dongliu wanted to end all of them in one pot.
Although it was unrealistic for even the “Number One in the World” to defeat all the people present on his own, it was possible that there were still strong people hiding in the shadows.
The most active Tong Shen realm powerhouse at the court of the Great Qian was not the number one expert in the Great Inner Court, but the Sheriff God of Department Six.
If the Sheriff God and the military masters were to come together, they could really end this pot.
“He didn’t want to be an enemy of the Daoist Sect, he was invited to deal with the demons.”
Cold laughter came as two figures also marched up into the sky.
Lin Zixiao, Lord of the Divine Sky, sneered, “Mingxuan Guan has always been good friends with Mount Longhu and has had dealings with it from time to time, to the extent that it is somewhat equivalent to a va*sal of Mount Longhu. Without the collusion of Mount Longhu in the midst, it would not have been so easy for him, Pei Dongliu, to blend in.”
The eyes of the crowd involuntarily looked at the only person from Mount Longhu present.
Yes, the strength of Mingxuan Guan, as an ally of Mount Longhu, was clear to all. If a Tong Shen realm appeared for no reason, how could Longhu Mountain not know?
When they thought about it, the crowd looked at Zhang Jingxuan with an even more odd look.
Ruthless people, no matter if it was Great Qian or Mount Longhu, they were all ruthless people.
The old ancestor of the Great Qian died at the hands of the strongest of the two daoists who had besieged him at the time, and Zhang Jingxuan’s uncle had also died at the hands of people from the Great Qian side. Although three hundred years had pa*sed, to a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, three hundred years was not enough for them to take everything into their coffins.
Even, when those ancestors of Mount Longhu died, Zhang Jingxuan personally wore mourning to see them off.
Now three hundred years have pa*sed, and the two parties have actually started working together. It had to be said that both sides were ruthless.
“The affairs of the court have nothing to do with me, Dragon Tiger Mountain.” Zhang Jingxuan said with a darkened face.
Whether it was related or not, it could not be admitted. Not only could he not admit it, but he could not let anyone say it out loud.
‘This Sh*t-stirrer from Divine Sky Dao is doing a much more competent job than me.’ Qing Yu, who was stalking Qing Yu, was idly looking up into the sky for a moment, just in time to see this conversation.
Compared to him, who was already a divine recluse, Divine Xiao Dao could be considered a veteran Sh*t-stirrer, stiffening the strong support.
It was not only because Lin Zixiao said that there seemed to be collusion between Mount Longhu and the court of the Great Qian, but also because Shadow King, an ally of the Divine Heavens, was in hostility to Pei Dongliu’s royalist faction.
The unpredictable Lord of the Divine Heavens is also a threat to Pei Dongliu.
While thinking this, Qing Yu continued to dive outwards.
With such a group of great experts in the sky, Qing Yu did not even dare to use his best method of running with the light. That kind of running method could hide from others, but not from those in the sky.
Even with the cover of the Void Magic Mirror, there was still a chance that the trail would be caught. The strongest of the Tong Shen realm were extremely sensitive to Yuan Qi fluctuations, and even if Qing Yu merged into heaven and earth, he might still be detected.
Therefore, one could only sneak around quietly.
However, even though he did his best to conceal it, Qing Yu still encountered a bit of trouble. There were some people, who did not want Qing Yu to leave.
When they were almost out of the Tai Chen Palace, there were two people who were already waiting quietly in front of them.
“Come out.” Qing Yu stepped out from the shadows and walked straight into the light.
There was no need to conceal his tracks anymore, as they had already been detected and concealing them was superfluous.
A man and a woman slowly stepped out, with a hidden and profound killing intent, revealing that these two were not good people.
“Qin Xihai, the ‘Absolute Sea God Catcher’, and Ning Wuming, the ‘Peerless God Catcher’, I never thought you would be the ones waiting for me.” Qing Yu stood with his arms folded, smiling lightly as he looked at the man and the woman.
“We didn’t expect you to be here either. If it weren’t for Lord Pei sensing your sword aura last night, we would have been unaware that our enemy was close at hand.”
Qin Xihai looked straight at the black mist that enveloped Qing Yu’s face, as if he wanted to pa*s through this layer of black mist his true face.
As the Hidden Mirror Man suit could not be put into the system space, Qing Yu could only cover his face with the black mist. As for the Daoist robe, it was the Daoist robe of Tai Chen Palace that he had asked Little Daoist Wu Yi for earlier.
”So it was the sword qi that leaked out the bottom.” Qing Yu smiled and said secretly.
Last night, in order to get away, he had used his Xuan Yin Sword Qi to face off with that attacker. Although he had already tried his best to restrain his breath, he had still inadvertently been sensed by Pei Dongliu.
Fortunately, the place where Pei Dongliu lived was a bit far away from the courtyard where Qing Yu was attacked, so he only sensed a hint of his breath for a moment due to his great strength.
Otherwise, the identity of the Hidden Mirror Man might have to be blacklisted by the Daoist Sect in the future.
”But just because of a whiff of breath, you are chasing after him like this, you have really made a deep feud.”
Qing Yu turned his gaze to Ning Wuming, who had kept his eyes closed. He knew that he could find his trail in the dark with two eyes and no clues at all, but he still had to rely on this blind man’s mind’s eye.
Of course, Qing Yu’s inability to leave quickly was also a reason. After all, it had always been Department Six’s job to follow sneak trails.
