"What's the reaction?..."
Li Xiaoliu asked, he was drunk at the time and didn't really notice Xiang Jianjue's expression.
Su Qingqing could only continue, "Junior Brother Xiang is indeed as Li Changting said, sincere and genuine. He has great respect for his Earth God Master.
When he heard someone slandering the Earth God, his expression changed immediately. If Li Changting hadn't secretly stopped him, he would have turned against the purple-robed monk on the spot."
Xiang Sheng listened from the side, his expression unchanged, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Jian Jue's personality is quite similar to hers. He can handle things calmly, but when it comes to her, he often gets confused.
This is not a good thing.
"In short, since the Pantheon failed to completely provoke a conflict today, they must have a backup plan."
Su Qingqing concluded, "If I act too early, it will only alert the enemy and be detrimental to the situation."
Li Xiaoliu looked distressed when he heard this: "What should I do?"
"Just follow what Junior Sister said and continue to observe secretly."
Su Qingqing smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the two of you, just focus on your cultivation."
"Okay, then I'll go practice."
Li Xiaoliu responded helplessly. He was still young, and his cultivation was low, so he really couldn't help much.
After Li Xiaoliu stood up and left, he bowed to Sheng and returned to his room.
Su Qingqing watched the two of them leave, and then she realized that after the junior sister came back from the sword tower today, she seemed to be much quieter and hadn't said much.
Could it be that there was an obstacle in my practice?
Or was it that you took on so much responsibility this morning, saying you would resolve the situation in the city, but now you are helpless and feeling depressed?
Su Qingqing smiled, thinking that the little girl was just being shy and embarrassed, so she considerately didn't ask any further questions.
…
In the following days, Li Changting and Xiang Jianjue never went to the Sword Tower again, but they never left the city either. They just stayed in the Sword Sect's villa and never went out.
Lu Yuncheng still topped the sword rankings every day, but his whereabouts were unknown and he disappeared all day long.
The monks from Xizhou were dissatisfied and went to challenge those at higher levels, but no one could surpass his record.
Unable to find Lu Yuncheng and unable to seize the championship, they had no place to vent their anger and soon turned their attention to other Dongzhou cultivators.
The number of conflicts breaking out in various places in Jiancheng immediately increased sharply. Each time, it was caused by a trivial contradiction, but it could lead to a fight between the monks from the East and West Continents.
As the disciple with the highest status among the Sword Sect disciples in Jiancheng, Zhuang Teng had to send his fellow disciples to the city to maintain order.
Because of this, the Sword Sect's training time was greatly shortened, and they inevitably felt resentful. The atmosphere in the Sword Sect's branch became increasingly strange.
"Geng Qi, you can see outside, right?"
In the resting place of the Sword Tower, Xiang Sheng opened and closed his eyes and suddenly asked a question.
Geng Qi was stunned for a moment before replying, "The external formation extends from the Sword Tower. I can indeed see it, but the Tower Spirit has ordered us not to interfere with the outside world."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed: "Then is it considered breaking the rules to help me keep an eye on one person?"
Geng Qi said with difficulty: "Fellow Daoist, I cannot reveal the identity and whereabouts of the person who broke into the tower."
"The person I told you to keep an eye on won't try to break into the tower."
Xiang Sheng waved his sleeves, and Su Qingqing's face condensed in the void.
When Geng Qi saw Su Qingqing, he was immediately surprised and said, "Daoyou, isn't she your senior sister?"
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly: "If she leaves the formation area, please inform me in time."
"clear!"
Geng Qi agreed immediately, but then heard Xiang Sheng say, "Also, Lu Yuncheng, please help me keep an eye on the time when he reaches the top of the leaderboard every day."
Summit time? Why does the noble want this? Are you trying to find Lu Yuncheng by searching for a needle in a haystack?
Geng Qi was a little confused, but since neither of these two things was against the rules, he agreed to both.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. The situation in the city, secretly manipulated by the Pantheon, was escalating, and it was unknown when it would explode completely.
The next day, in the Sword Tower.
Xiang Sheng had just finished a fight when he heard Geng Qi say in his ear, "Daoyou, your senior sister just left."
Xiang Sheng's eyes suddenly focused, and he immediately used the secret technique of shapeshifting, transformed into a young man with ordinary appearance, and left the sword tower.
She came to the outside of the formation area, hid in a high place with a good view, restrained her breath, and waited patiently.
These days, in addition to asking Geng Qi to keep an eye on things, she also secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of the independent cultivators and discovered that Lu Yuncheng's whereabouts were treacherous and he never showed up in public.
This person probably knew his own situation clearly. He had caused such a big disturbance in Jiancheng, and if he showed up rashly, he would be in danger.
If someone had surpassed him, he might have been able to use the stairs to directly escape from Jiancheng. However, since no one had surpassed him, he was in a difficult situation.
If he broke the contract on his own, he would probably become a laughing stock in the eyes of the monks in the East and West continents.
Therefore, in order to minimize the risk, Lu Yuncheng would most likely only stay in the sword tower for a short while, and then immediately continue to hide after winning the championship.
A glimmer flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes. She asked Geng Qi to pay attention to the time when Lu Yuncheng became the champion. Sure enough, this guess was verified.
Lu Yuncheng's time to climb to the top is fixed every day, around 1:15 PM.
To be included in the sword list, one must obtain the consent of the cultivator, so at the moment of noon, this person must be in the sword tower.
It is still early now, only 15:50.
It would take no more than half an hour to break through one level of the sword tower.
In other words, at this time, Lu Yuncheng is very likely not here yet.
With this in mind, Xiang Sheng left a hidden divine thought on all the monks who would come to the sword tower for training.
