Chapter 139: Confessing the Identity, Pressure from the Martial Saint

Jiang Baishan walked on the streets of Zhenwu City and soon turned into a small alley, and then appeared at the gate of a small courtyard.

"picturesque!"

He looked at the woman in white watering the flowers with joy, tenderness in his eyes.

Lin Ruhua turned around, also smiling like a flower. She leaned in Jiang Baishan's arms. The two of them were in love, and the tenderness in their eyes seemed to melt each other.

"It's my fault for leaving you alone all these days." Jiang Baishan said guiltily.

Lin Ruhua smiled and shook her head:

"I know everything. The Zhenwu Sect has been in trouble recently. As an elder, you naturally have to lead by example."

She said angrily:

"Am I such an unreasonable woman?"

As she said that, she punched Jiang Baishan on the chest. Jiang Baishan grimaced in pain and took back the words "I don't know who hit me with a machete at the beginning" that were on the tip of his tongue.

He chuckled and said:

"That's right, my Ruhua is the most gentle!"

Lin Ruhua nodded with satisfaction, and Jiang Baishan suddenly said seriously:

"In that case, how about becoming an elder's wife with me in the Zhenwu Sect? This year's Zhenwu Peach Festival is about to begin, and my fellow disciples are eager to meet you."

Lin Ruhua was stunned, with blushing cheeks.

These words came so suddenly that she was not even prepared.

There was joy and sweetness in her eyes, but it was eventually replaced by hesitation. Looking at the determination and sincerity in Jiang Baishan's eyes, she took a step back and sighed softly:

"Bai Shan, I don't want to lie to you. I have never told you my identity..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Baishan:

"Are you trying to say that you are from the Demon Sect?"

Lin Ruhua looked at Jiang Baishan in astonishment, but saw that he smiled:

"You and I have been together for so long. If I am completely ignorant, wouldn't it make me look too stupid? Master once taught me that people cannot choose their origins. A gentleman is judged by deeds rather than by heart. Although you are from the Demon Sect, you have never done anything to harm others. You even have a kind heart. In this case, what does it matter whether you are from the Demon Sect or not?"

Lin Ruhua's face was filled with emotion.

"But... I am not an ordinary member of the Demon Sect. I am the daughter of Lin Xueshuang, one of the three deputy sect masters of the Demon Sect."

As soon as these words came out.

Jiang Baishan was stunned.

He guessed that Lin Ruhua had a certain status in the Demon Sect, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. The deputy leader of the Demon Sect is arguably the person with the highest status under the leader, and now, he actually kidnapped the other party's daughter. This is a bit magical.

Lin Ruhua chuckled:

"Are you scared?"

Jiang Baishan said quickly:

"Humph! Her daughter is in my hands, what should I be afraid of!"

Lin Ruhua immediately pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Baishan's waist, making Jiang Baishan grimace and beg for mercy.

Finally.

Lin Ruhua then hugged Jiang Baishan's arms and said softly:

"Bai Shan, as long as you don't mind my identity, I won't worry. I'm not deliberately hiding it from you, but you also know that the Demon Sect has always been hostile to the Zhenwu Sect. I'm afraid you will misunderstand that I'm approaching you with a purpose."

Jiang Baishan said solemnly:

"The Demon Sect's affairs have nothing to do with you. My master and his friends have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment."

Lin Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief. She had been a heretic since she was a child and did not identify much with the Demon Sect. Her lover did not mind her background, and she felt more relaxed than ever before. She thought for a moment and said:

"There's something I want to tell you."

"you say."

The two spoke frankly.

Lin Ruhua sorted out her thoughts and began to talk about the many secrets of the Demon Sect:

"The Demon Sect originally had a conflict with the Southern Border Alliance, and several Heavenly Realm masters died. But later the two sides negotiated, and it was believed that a third party was interfering and deliberately inducing a war between the two sides. The two main suspects are your Zhenwu Sect and the King of Zhenbei."

Jiang Baishan's expression was somewhat solemn.

This information was beyond his imagination.

"And now, their suspicion of the Zhenwu Sect is even higher than that of the King of Zhenbei. The previous assessment of sending spies was a test. Originally, the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang had planned to find an opportunity to attack the Zhenwu Sect, but Tianjian Zhenren appeared out of nowhere and killed Wenxin Jian in one fell swoop, which made them wary."

"However, they will definitely not give up. Although there will be no major actions for the time being, there may be some actions against the disciples of the Zhenwu Sect. You must be careful."

Then, she began to tell some details, all of which were information she had found out by using her identity.

I had originally thought of revealing it to Jiang Baishan in other ways, but now that the two of them have revealed their identities, I might as well tell them everything.

Jiang Baishan held Lin Ruhua's hand tightly, his eyes full of emotion.

"Ruhua, you were the one who revealed the information about the spies from the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang to us during the assessment, right?"

Lin Ruhua was stunned, because she only learned about this matter afterwards.

"It's not me..."

Both of them were stunned.

Jiang Baishan frowned:

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Lin Ruhua's thoughts turned, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She thought of something, and her expression was a little strange:

"I know who it is."

Facing Jiang Baishan's inquiring gaze, she said slowly:

"Qin Yun."

"That traitor?" There was some disbelief in Jiang Baishan's eyes.

He had a very good relationship with Qin Yun in the past, and therefore, after Qin Yun left Zhenwu Sect, he was the most angry among all his fellow disciples. He said more than once that one day he would bring Qin Yun back and make him confess his mistakes in front of his master.

I haven't heard from Qin Yun for several years, but I didn't expect to hear about him from the person I love.

Lin Ruhua nodded and said:

"It's him. My mother even wanted him to marry me to help him ascend to the position of the Holy Son of the Demon Sect. I originally thought he was a traitor, but now it seems that Qin Yun may still have feelings for the Zhenwu Sect."

"Let Qin Yun marry you?" Jiang Baishan was anxious.

Lin Ruhua patted his hands and told him to calm down.

"Previously, five celestial beings from the Demon Sect attacked the Zhenwu Sect at night. Afterwards, the Demon Sect wanted to retaliate, but Qin Yun dissuaded them by offering to enter the Blood Demon Pool. Unexpectedly, this guy was a ruthless person. Not only did he come out of the Blood Demon Pool, he even burned four hundred years of his life to enter the celestial realm in one fell swoop. After that, he became one of the three candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Sect."

"You just mentioned that someone passed a secret letter about the assessment. Now I think it was most likely done by Qin Yun, because this was originally something he and the Saint of Southern Border were responsible for, but his situation has not been good recently."

"Originally, with the support of Vice Sect Master Ghost Face, he was a strong candidate to compete for the position of Holy Son. But now, he is under house arrest, and my mother no longer mentions letting me marry him. If it weren't for the words of the Great Elder, the consequences would be even more serious. He has an old relationship with the Zhenwu Sect, which the Demon Sect cannot tolerate."

"Anyone who enters the Blood Demon Pool must be loyal to the Demon Sect, but Qin Yun broke this precedent. Now a Demon Sect expert is carefully interrogating him. I heard from my mother that he once had an inner demon, and the Demon Sect expert is trying to feed his inner demon and let him be controlled by it."

Lin Ruhua told the story slowly and leisurely.

She knew that Qin Yun had underestimated the methods of the Demon Sect, thinking that he had done it secretly, but he fell flat on his face. Before, she didn't know why the Demon Sect's attitude towards Qin Yun suddenly changed, but combined with everything she knew now, she immediately understood.

Jiang Baishan's expression gradually became complicated. He didn't know when his original anger dissipated and finally turned into an inaudible sigh.

"This guy Xiao Ba..." He felt a little disappointed and had mixed feelings, as well as anxiety.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Baishan said seriously:

"Ruhua, can you come with me to Zhenwu Mountain to meet my master and senior brother? This information is very important to them. Don't worry, they will definitely not mind your identity."

Lin Ruhua's heart trembled, but the ugly daughter-in-law had to meet her parents-in-law eventually, so she nodded softly:

"I'll do whatever you say."

The two had experienced life and death several times and had already recognized each other.

She had no sense of belonging to the Demon Sect. The only thing that worried her was her mother. But now the Zhenwu Sect was the weaker side compared to the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang. She didn't need to worry about her mother. Instead, she needed to worry about Jiang Baishan.

The two stood hugging each other.

After nightfall, quietly go up the mountain.

…

Mingwu Pavilion.

Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian were both there, while Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua stood side by side with their hands clasped.

"Greetings to Master Longshan and Sect Leader Luo!" Lin Ruhua saluted nervously.

Jiang Baishan also stuttered:

"Master, this is my beloved, Lin Ruhua."

Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian looked at each other and smiled. They looked at Lin Ruhua carefully. They could tell a little about a person's character by observing his posture and expression. They nodded silently in their hearts.

Luo Wentian smiled and said:

"Miss Ruhua, you don't have to be polite. I've heard Baishan talk about you a long time ago. I almost cut off his arm back then, and he kept talking about you for months. You can just call me Senior Brother."

Lin Ruhua was no longer nervous and pinched Jiang Baishan silently.

Jiang Baishan shook his head awkwardly. This was a dark history that he could not escape.

Taoist Longshan also smiled kindly, but he did not ask Lin Ruhua to call him Master. This had to wait until they got married.

"Baishan, what important matter did you mention before?" he asked.

Jiang Baishan's expression straightened up, and he slowly said:

"It has something to do with Ruhua's identity. She is the daughter of Lin Xueshuang, one of the three deputy sect masters of the Demon Sect."

The smiles on Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian's faces froze, but soon relaxed. They knew Jiang Baishan's temper and knew he would not act recklessly.

Lin Ruhua watched the changes in their expressions and felt relieved. Then she bowed and said:

"Master, Big Brother, it's like this..."

She slowly told all about the previous plans of the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang against the Zhenwu Sect.

He also talked about Qin Yun's current situation.

After saying that.

Taoist Longshan had a complicated expression.

When the secret letter was sent during the Zhenwu assessment, they made many guesses and didn't know who did it. They didn't expect it was Qin Yun who sent it. Thinking of Qin Yun's current situation, he felt a little sad.

It's just a matter of one thought, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this.

Luo Wentian also sighed in his heart, and he said gratefully:

"Miss Ruhua, thank you for letting me know."

Now that the whole cause and effect is clear, we know that the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang were indeed suspicious of the Zhenwu Sect because of the destruction of the Southern Xinjiang Qingzhou stronghold.

In particular, some subsequent plans and actions of the Demon Sect are very important to the Zhenwu Sect. Now that we know them in advance, we can deal with them.

He knows.

Lin Ruhua was able to tell these inside stories, probably because she was deeply in love with her fifth junior brother and had made great sacrifices for him.

Lin Ruhua waved her hands repeatedly, her face slightly red:

"You're too polite, Senior Brother."

She hesitated slightly, then gritted her teeth and said:

"There is one more thing. Although the Zhenwu Sect has Tianjian Zhenren in charge, the Demon Sect and Southern Border have a deep foundation after all. After they formed an alliance, they have been plotting to achieve the goal of becoming a Martial Saint and complement each other's deficiencies. If a Martial Saint is born in either force, I'm afraid the world will be turned upside down and they will declare war on Dayan. At that time, it is very likely that the Zhenwu Sect will be sacrificed!"

"Please Master and Senior Brother make plans early!"

After saying this she felt completely relieved, this was all she knew.

There was silence in Mingwu Pavilion.

Taoist Longshan had a solemn expression on his face.

Luo Wentian and Jiang Baishan were filled with horror.

The pressure on the Martial Saint is really too great.

Jiang Baishan's face turned pale. He looked at Lin Ruhua blankly, then said anxiously:

"Martial Saint? How is that possible? It has been a long time since a Martial Saint was born in the Great Yan World. How could a Martial Saint be born so easily in the Demon Sect and Southern Border?"

Lin Ruhua gently held Jiang Baishan's hand and said:

"In fact, the Demon Sect and Southern Border have always had the method of using external forces to achieve the goal of becoming a Martial Saint. They have been trying for a thousand years and are now close to success. A hundred years ago was just a test. They waited until the Great Flame Martial Saint became weak and wanted to take this opportunity to rise."

"Now that the two forces have formed an alliance, the progress is even faster."

Luo Wentian couldn't help but ask:

"Miss Ruhua, do you know how long it will take for the Demon Sect and Southern Border to produce a Martial Saint?"

Lin Ruhua said apologetically:

"I don't know the details either. That is the absolute secret of the Demon Sect. I only occasionally found out the information from my mother. But according to the recent movements of the Demon Sect, it will not be more than three years at the latest."

Taoist Longshan also felt a little uneasy.

That is to say.

In three years at the latest, the world will undergo a drastic change?

It is foreseeable.

If martial artists were born in both Southern Xinjiang and the Demon Sect, they would certainly challenge the rule of Dayan. Two thousand years of rule was indeed too long.

I originally thought that the Zhenwu sect was on the rise, but I didn't expect it to encounter such a big change.

And the Zhenwu sect was the first to bear the brunt.

With the previous destruction of the Qingzhou stronghold, the conflict between the Zhenwu sect and the two forces has become irreconcilable, and the greater the reputation of Tianjian Zhenren, the easier it is to use him to establish his authority and sacrifice his flag.

For a while.

It was as if there was a magic sword hanging over the Zhenwu Sect's heads, ready to chop down at any time.

It is said that it will take three years at the latest, but what if a martial artist is born in the Demon Sect two years or even a year earlier?

No one can tell.

Taoist Longshan glanced at the screen behind him, and said with a long sigh:

"This news is very important to us, Miss Ruhua, thank you very much."

He bowed slightly.

If Lin Ruhua hadn’t told them, the Zhenwu sect would have been completely unaware of the impending crisis.

Lin Ruhua dodged quickly and waved her hands in panic:

"Master, you are too kind. Bai Shan and I are of the same mind. His school is my school."

Taoist Longshan sighed in his heart.

He has lived for nearly a hundred years and sees things more clearly than young people. Naturally, he knows that Lin Ruhua is concerned about her fifth disciple, which is why she acts like this.

But this matter was not fair to Lin Ruhua. The Demon Sect and the Zhenwu Sect were hostile to each other. Lin Ruhua was the daughter of the Demon Sect's deputy leader, and Jiang Baishan was a disciple of Taoist Longshan. Even if one of them won, one of them would suffer.

Taoist Longshan needs to consider more.

Perhaps the best solution is for neither of them to get involved.
