Chapter 354 Is it too late for me to back out now?

Then, within the women's sight, Dongfang Bubai recounted what he had discovered while secretly following them.

Hearing what Dongfang Bubai said, Lin Shiyin was slightly taken aback and said, "This inn is actually run by the Bad People. That means the innkeeper recognized us beforehand and hid it quite well, without showing any unusual behavior."

Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, said slowly, "If it were so easy to detect, this stronghold would probably have been destroyed long ago."

Lin Shiyin thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Since they are informants and spies, if it were easy for people to notice something was wrong, they would have been wiped out by various forces long ago. How could they still be planted in various places to collect information steadily?

In fact, compared to ordinary martial artists, the spies and informants in various forces are more experienced in both their actions and their minds.

Lianxing asked, "So all we need to do now is wait?"

Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.

However, when he finished speaking, Chu Qinghe noticed that Wanwan looked hesitant.

Noticing Wanwan's expression, Chu Qinghe said, "Shangdang County is not far from the location of Hidden Soldier Valley. Now that the people of Shangdang County have discovered us, the people arranged by the Bad Commander may come at any time. If Miss Wanwan wants to go to the Yin Kui Sect's base in Shangdang County, it is not too late to go after we have dealt with the people arranged by the Bad Commander this time."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Wanwan couldn't help but give him a strange look.

The feeling of having one's thoughts read before one has said anything made Wanwan feel as if Chu Qinghe had seen through everything about her.

Although she was a little annoyed, Wanwan knew that the current situation was indeed not suitable for her to go to the Yin Kui Sect's territory in Shangdang County.

......

Having already disguised themselves, when Chu Qinghe and his companions walk down the street now, passersby will at most glance at them curiously before looking away, rather than seeing them as strikingly different as before.

As the group strolled around Shangdang County after leaving the inn, Wanwan, acting as their guide, occasionally told them about the county and introduced them to the local customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty.

As dusk fell, in a private room of a restaurant, after the waiter respectfully left with his tip, Lin Shiyin, reflecting on what she had seen in the Tang Dynasty over the past period, looked at Wanwan and asked, "It is said that among the four great clans of the Tang Dynasty, the Song family, which now controls the south of the Tang Dynasty, is the most powerful. I wonder if the towns in the southern Song family's territory are more prosperous than Wu'an County and Shangdang County?"

Wanwan nodded and said, "Among the four great clans, whether it is the Li family, which is now nominally the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, the Dugu family, or the Yuwen family, they all have Hu (non-Han) blood. Although the Li family does not treat Hu people as well as the Dugu and Yuwen families within their sphere of influence, they still tend to favor Hu people to some extent."

"Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the southern region controlled by the Song family is home to nearly 70% Han Chinese. In addition, with Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, in the Song family, no one, whether it is the Yin Kui Sect, Cihang Jingzhai, or the other three major clans, dares to provoke them casually. Relatively speaking, it is more prosperous."

"Especially in the Nanling area where the Song family is located, in terms of prosperity, it surpasses the territories of the other three major clans."

At this point, Wanwan seemed to have thought of something and said with a sigh, "However, there has always been speculation in the martial arts world about who is stronger between Song Que and Ning Daoqi, but now Ning Daoqi has joined the Great Qin Kingdom and entered the early stage of the Divine Seat Realm. It seems that Song Que's strength is no longer comparable to Ning Daoqi's."

But as soon as he said that, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Upon hearing this, Wanwan looked at Chu Qinghe with a puzzled expression and asked, "Do you mean that Song Que has also entered the Divine Seat Realm?"

Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "With that Bad Commander around, how could Song Que possibly reach the Divine Seat Realm?"

As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "That Bad Marshal, as a master of the Divine Seat Realm, has been hiding in the Tang Dynasty all these years, so he must have absolute control over the Tang Dynasty."

"Within the Nine Provinces, the power of heaven and earth has changed. Even martial artists who have condensed the Three Flowers will find it difficult to refine the power of heaven and earth and thus condense the Golden Core of Martial Dao."

"According to the records of the Hundred-Knowledge Scholar's Heavenly Human Ranking, Song Que should have only reached the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm three years ago. The Three Flowers Condensation may be the limit. If he condenses the Martial Golden Core, with such talent, what do you think the Bad Commander would do?"

Dongfang Bubai said, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? If I were the Bad Commander, such a person would either be used by me or be intolerable to me. Kill him."

Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's right. Before, just because he sensed the abnormal changes in the power of heaven and earth within the Great Tang Dynasty, the Bad Commander sent Bai Wanshan to investigate everywhere, which is enough to show the Bad Commander's caution. If Song Que really entered the Divine Seat Realm, I'm afraid the Bad Commander would be the first to be uneasy."

After a pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "Of course, if Song Que had joined the Qin Kingdom like Ning Daoqi and had someone who could make the Bad Commander wary of him, the situation would be different. However, Song Que is too arrogant and unyielding. He would never be willing to be subordinate to others, so the possibility of him entering the Divine Seat Realm now is too low."

Wanwan looked at Chu Qinghe with a puzzled expression and said, "Since you said that Song Que has not broken through to the early stage of the Divine Seat Realm, why did you just say that Song Que can still be compared with Ning Daoqi?"

Qu Feiyan said, "What's so strange about that? Young Master is only at the late stage of the Celestial Realm, but his strength far exceeds his cultivation. Bai Wanshan, who is at the early stage of the Divine Seat Realm, can't even make a move in front of Young Master."
