Ever since Master Yujing and the Immortal Changmei decided to look for the whereabouts of the Wanxiangjuexian Sword, Ling Yunpo soon discovered that recently, no matter where he and his senior sister went, there were other Jindan Zhenren following them.
The answer is that the Demon Cult is insidious and vicious, and cannot defeat Shushan head-on. They may send people to assassinate the two, so they must be closely protected.
This reason is quite reasonable. After all, An Zhisu is a second-grade golden elixir, and Ling Yunpo has severely humiliated the Yin Guidao before. The Demon Cult has sufficient motive to assassinate the two.
But Ling Yunpo knew of course that the real reason was just to monitor him.
After all, it was me who first discovered the whereabouts of the Wanxiang Juexian Sword. The headmaster would not believe everything I said, and he would definitely keep an eye on me first.
Humph, this is also what I expected.
In fact, there are three reasons why Ling Yunpo said this:
First, the sword will eventually fall into Wei Dongliu's hands, and Wei Dongliu also needs to explain the origin of the sword to the Blood Sea Ancestor. If he says that "while walking, suddenly the sword fell from the sky", it would seem a bit strange.
But if Wei Dongliu went to travel on the plateau in advance, and then happened to meet two real people from Shushan who broke into the ruins, causing the Wanxiangjue Immortal Sword to come into being unexpectedly, and then chased it for a long time before capturing it, such a story with a complete and complete story would be more in line with human preferences - especially the latter could be confirmed by the Demon Cult's secret agents in Shushan.
Second, Senior Sister An also heard the sword chant. Ling Yunpo could of course lie to the sect on the one hand, and on the other hand find a random excuse to fool Senior Sister and ask her to join him in deceiving the sect - but his conscience would not allow him to do so.
How could I pollute the pure and innocent heart of my senior sister? I will bear all the sins on my own.
The third is to leave an impression of sincerity and honesty in the minds of the sect’s top leaders, and also to supplement and improve the character of the unyielding character in the future.
Obviously, if it were a cultivator who was a little more cautious, he would definitely keep this secret in his heart and would never reveal a single word to the sect.
After all, as long as the Wanxiang Juexian Sword is not found, the sect will one day completely lose trust in itself. Every time I think of the whereabouts of the Juexian Sword, I always have a thought of "will it be hidden by this kid" - this has nothing to do with reason or morality, but is the human nature in the face of huge benefits.
But Ling Yunpo knew very well that this sword would eventually be obtained by Wei Dongliu.
By then, Shushan only needs to use secret agents inside Fanshengdao to find out that the sword did end up in the hands of the Demon Cult, which is completely consistent with what Ling Yunpo had confessed.
In this way, it can be proved that Ling Yunpo did not hide the sword privately, and what he said was completely true!
How could such a great and glorious role model of a cultivator be a traitor within the sect?
In a word, Wei Dongliu helped Ling Yunpo to prove his point, and Ling Yunpo helped Wei Dongliu to prove his point. The two people's statements happened to confirm each other, and the information was passed back through the spies of the opposite sect, so as to achieve the purpose of gaining the trust of the top leaders of their respective sects.
Although it was a very risky move, it was also a brilliant move that he was extremely confident in!
Thinking of this, Ling Yunpo once again confirmed with the Kunlun Mirror in his sea of consciousness and asked:
"Ah Jing, the Wan Xiang Jue Xian Sword has indeed been sent to Wei Dongliu in the past, right?"
"If you don't believe it, you can just reload the file to confirm it." Kunlun Jing said impatiently.
"No need, I believe A Jing won't let me down." Ling Yunpo said with a dry laugh.
Not long ago, the Qingping Sword finally persuaded the Wanxiang Juexian Sword to stop resisting and instead see if Wei Dongliu was qualified to be his sword master.
It is precisely because the Wanxiangjuexian Sword is now in Wei Dongliu's hands that Ling Yunpo dares to "confess" to the sect. Otherwise, he would not easily take the risk as long as there is still a possibility of being exposed.
"By the way." Ling Yunpo asked Senior Sister An, "I haven't been outside recently. How is the fight with the Demon Cult going?"
"The fight is still going on." An Zhisu sighed, "It's just that it's no longer a battle between immortals, but a battle between a Jindan Zhenren and a Yuanying Elder."
"It's impossible for immortals to fight against each other every day." Ling Yunpo said with a smile, "As long as one side can't stop, the aftermath of the attack will affect the middle and low-level cultivators, which will definitely escalate the intensity of the conflict and there is a risk of it being out of control."
"Although the fight between the two sides is fierce, if you observe carefully, you will find that both sides are maintaining a state of 'fighting but not breaking'."
"Fighting but not breaking?" Although An Zhisu didn't understand, in order to avoid being laughed at by his junior brother, he pretended to understand it completely, changed the subject and sighed, "Of course I understand... but I just can't play. I'm really bored recently..."
"After all, Senior Sister is a second-grade Jindan. If she goes on the field openly, there is no guarantee that the Demon Cult will not send a Yuanying elder to disguise as a Jindan Zhenren and take the risk to assassinate Senior Sister." Ling Yunpo said with a smile, "Since Senior Sister is bored, why don't we practice swords?"
"Okay." An Zhisu said with a smile.
Next to the sword pool at Tianmen Peak, a large sword training field has been opened up. Many Jindan immortals practice sword skills here, and Yuanying elders would stop by from time to time to give detailed instructions, so that the immortals' fighting strength can be improved and they can have a better chance of winning against the Demon Cult.
The arrival of Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu immediately attracted the attention of many real people.
The latter was a well-known swordsman among the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Many real people had heard about him from their junior brothers and sisters. The former had won two consecutive victories in the Demon Sect match, and his tyrannical strength was clearly visible, so everyone made way for him in awe.
An Zhisu practiced with Ling Yunpo for a while, and he noticed that his junior brother seemed to be out of form, so he put away his sword skills and asked:
"Junior brother...are you worried about the Demon Cult?"
Ling Yunpo smiled but said nothing.
With the help of Hell, the Demon Cult is destined to be in Wei Dongliu's pocket, so he naturally has nothing to worry about.
However, the high-end combat power displayed by Shushan in this battle really made Ling Yunpo fearful.
There are seven immortals. Among them, the Long Eyebrow Immortal is the strongest. His Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Sword Formation has both lethality, attack range and speed, which is almost impossible to break. Anyone who is hit will die. Even the immortal Hanba cannot withstand it.
There were more than 200 Yuanying elders, including more than 70 high-ranking elders at the peak master level, all of whom had fought their way out of the crazy involutionary environment of the sect.
For example, the Ghost Mother sisters of the Heavenly Demon Sect were not weak in themselves, right? But Elder Biyun of the Green Bamboo Peak was even stronger, defeating the other side in a one-on-two fight, which was outrageous.
Ling Yunpo had already realized at this time that forming a pill and becoming an infant were like two large filters that would extract the strongest and most powerful people from the vast sea of people.
It's like a top student in his hometown junior high school, who gets admitted to a key middle school in the city, only to find out that he is actually a poor student...
In the future, I have to steal the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone from under the noses of these fierce men, perverts, and evildoers! The difficulty is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
However, even if it means climbing to the sky... we have to climb!
The lonely throne of the sky cannot be touched by others. With the help of Ajing Qingping, as well as our own great perseverance, wisdom and determination, even if tens of millions of people are trying to get there, what do we have to fear?
Seeing Ling Yunpo's frown relax again, An Zhisu blinked in confusion.
"Do you want to continue practicing sword skills, Junior Brother?"
"Practice! Practice hard!"
