Chapter 227 Undercover agents from both sides: No, he must be sick!
"Qingxuan Sword Sect?" The deputy host quickly recalled, "True Lord, we do have two pieces of relevant intelligence here, but the price may be..."
"Do you have the coordinates of the small world they went to and how to open it?" Lu Wenwu was concise and got straight to the point.
"There are coordinates, but no way to open it. The Qingxuan Sword Sect completely sealed off the small world not long after entering it. No news has been heard since then, and the connection between the two worlds has been severed. There is nothing we can do about it." The deputy host replied.
"Then give me the coordinates, the information, and both copies of the information."
Lu Wenwu casually pushed the small jade box at hand forward, revealing his wealthy temperament.
"Well, it's not worth that much. After all, it's outdated information. Although it has a certain premium due to its uniqueness, it's not that outrageous."
The deputy building owner smiled awkwardly and took out half of the spirit stones from the jade box, a total of one hundred pieces.
At the same time, he took out three jade slips engraved with special marks and a token engraved with a golden tortoise shell and placed them in front of Lu Wenwu.
"The price was set by the headquarters, and I have no right to adjust it. However, I can make the decision and give you the other two reports on the Qingxuan Sword Sect, plus a complete history, and some relevant speculations. I hope you will not be disgusted."
"This token is also given to the True Lord. It is the VIP token of my Tianji Tower. In the future, if the True Lord needs it, he can go to any branch of the Tianji Tower with the token and receive a 20% discount on all purchases. The bids offered by the building will also be 20% higher than normal."
"At the same time, as long as you input your own spiritual power into the token, the token will automatically display the locations of the five nearest Tianji Towers and the corresponding maps, marking the corresponding direction for you."
"Indeed. I hope you will accept it."
The deputy host smiled and presented the token engraved with golden tortoise shell.
Judging from Lu Wenwu's words and actions, he easily judged that this was a big customer who came to Tianji Tower for consumption for the first time, and he was not short of money. It was very likely that he was a talented Jindan who came out from a big sect to gain experience.
As a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, the deputy building owner couldn't see through Lu Wenwu's true intentions.
He is too young and doesn't look like he is in the Nascent Soul stage at all.
The vigorous vitality that comes to your face is not something that an "old monk" who has been in seclusion for many years and relied on spiritual power to regain youth can imitate.
It is not impossible to achieve the Golden Elixir in one’s thirties or forties.
But a Nascent Soul in its thirties or forties?
It is impossible for a cultivator of the demonic path to do this, so how many lives would have to be killed?
If Lu Wenwu is really a genius Jindan of the demon level and can bring a potential big customer to the building, it would be a huge profit.
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the judgment is wrong.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost anything to give out an extra VIP token, so it doesn’t matter. It’s worth it if I can make a good connection.
"Sounds good, I'll take it."
Lu Wenwu put the VIP token, spirit stone, and information jade slip into the storage bag, and then asked about another matter.
"I heard that your Tianji Tower also has auctions, and even auctioned off a lot of interesting things that even a True God of Transformation could use. Have you had any recently? I'd like to see them."
The deputy building owner smiled and replied, "You are joking, Master. The best item we can offer in this branch building is only suitable for use by those in the Golden Core Stage. I don't think Master would be interested in such things."
"In half a year, my Tianji Tower's main building will hold a continental-level auction, which only happens every twenty years. There should be something useful for you at that level of auction. If you are interested, you can stay in Tianji City for a while and enter with your VIP pass."
"That's great, thank you." Lu Wenwu nodded slightly.
"These are what the younger generation should do." The smile of the Tianji Tower's deputy master was refreshing. "True Lord, do you have any other requests?"
"That's it for now."
"To protect your privacy, I will take my leave. The three jade slips will be destroyed after reading. You may leave after reading."
"good."
After the deputy building owner and the female cultivator left, Lu Wenwu's mental power spread to the three jade slips, and a large amount of information flowed into his mind.
As he read, the three jade slips continued to disintegrate within a few seconds.
After the reading was completed, the jade slip shattered into a pile of gray-white fragments, and disappeared without a trace along with the information inside, ensuring extremely high confidentiality.
After understanding the whole story, Lu Wenwu fell into deep thought.
The system seemed to have given him a big problem.
The information provided by Tianji Tower is very comprehensive, starting from the founder of Qingxuan Sword Sect, Qingxuan Jianzun, until their final disappearance, and the historical information is recorded in great detail.
The only thing that is unclear is the matter concerning that small world, and Tianji Tower is not clear about the specific reasons why they made such a decision.
At that time, the Qingxuan Sword Sect had developed to a certain extreme and had already possessed some of the qualities of a king that could dominate all the sects in the world. There were as many as four Guanghua Shen Zhenzuns.
The current leader of the Qingxuan Sword Sect has reached the highest level of cultivation, and is only half a step away from ascending to the legendary fairyland.
There was no reason for them to go all in and head to an unknown small world to explore it. They didn't even leave behind the disciples who were guarding the sect's old place.
Thousands of years have passed, and people all over the world have racked their brains but still cannot figure out why the Qingxuan Sword Sect did this.
Tianji Tower only made speculations based on the situation at the time.
Perhaps the Qingxuan Sword Sect had not originally planned to lead the entire sect on the expedition, but some unexpected events occurred in the development of the small world.
Thousands of years ago, the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect gradually entered the small world in three batches, which took about several decades in total.
And they walked in a hurry, as if they were rushing to support the front line, or as if they couldn't wait because of some great benefit.
Afterwards, the entrance to the small world was closed, the passage connecting it to the mainland was cut off, and the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect never appeared again.
A super sect with four True Lords of the Divine Transformation Realm, more than ten True Lords of the Nascent Soul Realm, hundreds of Golden Core True Lords, and thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators disappeared from the world quietly.
These are just vague information with no real substance.
If Lu Wenwu gave a witty answer like "The reason for the demise of the Qingxuan Sword Sect was the expedition to the small world", the system probably wouldn't even give him a [Passing] rating.
No matter what, I still have to go to the place where Qingxuan Sword Sect disappeared and see it in person.
It would be great if I could have the chance to enter that small world.
It’s just that the coordinate address on the mainland is a bit awkward.
Thousands of years ago, when the Qingxuan Sword Sect was at its peak, it single-handedly suppressed all the cultivators and demons in the world and occupied the most favorable territory in the north of the continent.
But as time went by and the Qingxuan Sword Sect fell
The place they were in was within the sphere of influence of the demonic sect, and demon kings and even demon gods frequently appeared there, making it a lawless and chaotic place.
"This is a bit difficult."
Lu Wenwu stroked the dog and frowned slightly.
The time-tested old method is not very useful this time.
The system seemed determined to make him use his brain (not physics) to solve the problem.
It was not until he walked out of the Tianji Tower and glanced at the sunset glow that had already revealed a hint of orange that Lu Wenwu finally sighed.
Now that things have come to this, let’s eat the egg-filled pancake first.
It's time to find a place to stay for the night.
At dawn and dusk, the light of the sun and stars gradually spreads to the earth, bringing light and heat to this dark continent.
The two groups arrived at Tianxing City almost one after the other.
The first to arrive were the elders and the master of Mutu Temple. It took them some time to collect the spiritual veins, and then the four foundation-building monks took turns to drive the flying boat and escape with their disciples overnight.
The next ones to arrive were several carefree elders and disciples of the Kuang Dao Temple.
Some elders had families, descendants, and disciples behind them, so they could not abandon their families and run away immediately, so their speed slowed down.
The first group to arrive were all alone, so some flew on swords, some flew on flying boats, and they all fled to Tianxing City overnight.
What was quite coincidental was that the two groups entered the city from different directions, but met at the Xiandao League office.
Both sides stared at each other in shock.
"Master Duan, you are still alive!"
"Elder Wang, you are still alive!"
Both sides spoke in unison, and there seemed to be tears in their eyes.
It feels like we are both wanderers in this world.
Starting from the Mutu Temple, the demonic monsters and the young divine beasts came out of the library and headed towards the Kuangdao Temple in a menacing manner. How could the other party leave any of them alive?
The demons and monsters and the young divine beasts who came from Kuangdao Temple came from your Mutu Temple. They even killed our ancestor, so how come there are still people left on your side?
The Immortal Dao League monks who came out to open the door were stunned by this scene.
During the years he was on duty in Tianxing City, he had become familiar with the top leaders of both sides and was completely confused at this moment.
These two families usually have a good relationship, why do they seem to want the other to die now?
"Hey, you two, why are you all coming to the door of our Xiandao League office so early in the morning? What's going on?" The Xiandao League monk in white couldn't help but ask.
Master Duan of Mutu Monastery hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, please quickly report this to the Immortal Dao Alliance headquarters and ask them to send a large number of cultivators to exorcise the demons."
"Yesterday we discovered a demonic cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. He possessed an innate earth spiritual root and five element spiritual roots comparable to the superposition of five celestial spiritual roots! He also brought with him a divine beast cub!"
"That divine beast cub was extremely powerful, unleashing its secret bloodline technique, and even Master Kuang Dao was severely injured due to his momentary negligence. The fellow Taoists from Kuang Dao Temple should have come to report this."
"A young divine beast? A rogue demonic cultivator with innate earth spiritual roots? His acquired five-element spiritual roots are comparable to the sum of five celestial spiritual roots?" The cultivator surnamed Fang was shocked. "Fellow Daoist Duan, is this true?"
"It's absolutely true! Even Fellow Daoist Duan doesn't know the truth!" Elder Wang of the Mad Blade Temple spoke anxiously, "That's not some demonic monster at all; it's a genuine Demon King!"
"After the divine beast cub injured our ancestor yesterday, we immediately returned to the sect, hoping to use the power of the sect's formation to hide and recover from our injuries."
"But I didn't expect the demon king to come knocking on our door and demand an explanation. He destroyed the mountain protection formation with a single punch and instantly killed three elders in the late Foundation Establishment stage. My ancestor was forced to self-destruct his golden elixir to cover our retreat, and that's how we escaped."
"What!? Master Kuang Dao has fallen!"
Master Duan felt a buzzing in his head, and then he felt inexplicably relieved.
He is the only Jindan cultivator nearby except for Tianxing City!
Even he has fallen, this monster is truly terrifying.
No, it’s not a demon, it’s the demon king!
Demon King!
This is an existence equivalent to the first level of Yuanying Zhenjun among human cultivators. I and others are lucky enough to escape from his hands. This time, even the ancestral tablets are going to smoke!
Fortunately, I was decisive and fortunately, I ran fast!
"Wait a moment, wait a moment. Calm down first," said the cultivator surnamed Fang. "While the death of Master Kuang Dao is regrettable, I have a question for you. How can you be sure that he is a demon king and not a demon cultivator?"
"This..." Elder Wang pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This was the guess made by our ancestor before his death. We are not sure. At the same time, the Great Elder speculated that the divine beast cub in the other party's hands is very likely the legendary Huo Dou."
Elder Duan suddenly pulled someone over and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, this disciple of mine has had a long history with this person. Erniu, why don't you tell us everything you know?"
"Oh, yes."
Liu Erniu was somewhat reluctant. He believed that Lu Wenwu was grateful and must not be a bad person.
But due to the pressure from several foundation-building cultivators, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell about his experience with Lu Wenwu.
After hearing this, the monk surnamed Fang frowned tightly, thinking about something.
"Arms growing on their own, this sounds very similar to the Blood Refining Demon Palace's Flesh and Blood Transformation Technique."
"But why is there such a strong force of heavenly thunder on his severely injured and broken body? Could it be that he failed in his Divine Transformation Tribulation in the Eastern Wasteland and accidentally fell into the area of Mutu Temple?"
"But this doesn't make sense. The Nascent Soul cultivators on the Demonic Path who are qualified to transcend the Divine Transformation Tribulation are all well-known here. How could they possibly sneak past the Immortal Path Alliance and infiltrate our rear?"
"Could it really be a quasi-demon god who failed to transcend the tribulation? Or a quasi-demon god with a young divine beast?"
Elder Wang, standing nearby, interjected, "Fellow Daoist Fang, I personally tend to believe that the other party is indeed a quasi-demon god who failed to transcend the tribulation. Think about it, there's competition among the demon race itself, and it's easiest for them to reach the Eastern Wilderness after transforming. Furthermore, the demon race has a wide variety of cultivation systems, so it's not surprising that they were able to evade the Five Elements Formation Sect's detection."
"Friend Wang is absolutely right."
The monk surnamed Fang nodded slightly.
"Well, I'll inform Senior Liu first, and he'll make the final decision and report. As a matter of urgency, I'll temporarily send a message to the Tianxing City guards. To prevent demonic infiltration, they'll strengthen entry inspections and conduct a secret search of the mortal area. Fellow Daoists, please stay at the Immortal Dao League office for the time being and cooperate with the investigation."
"Fang Daoyou is so kind!"
"Fang Daoyou is so courageous!"
After an incense stick of time, the undercover demon cultivator with the late Jindan stage of cultivation looked at the strict monitoring procedures at the city gate that were personally managed by the Jindan cultivators, and began to doubt his life wildly.
No, my news hasn’t spread yet?
How was I exposed?
In the mortal area outside another city gate, a true transformed demon king had a gloomy expression as he quietly merged into a towering ancient tree, muttering to himself.
Something is wrong. Why did Tianxing City suddenly increase its security?
Damn, the human race seems to have noticed what Brother Chihu is planning, we may have to launch an attack early.
