Half an hour later, Xu Tianming returned to Xiang Sheng with a dazed look on his face, carrying three sacks of jade bottles.
He picked up all the jade bottles that were given away, and they were all not far from here.
Xiang Sheng leaned against a thick tree root with his eyes closed, as if in deep thought.
Hearing the noise, she raised her eyelids slightly and ordered in a calm voice: "Pick out all the vitality above the Out-of-Body Stage."
"yes."
Xu Tianming responded obediently and lowered his head to sort out the messy jade bottles in the sack, but his thoughts drifted to the various miserable corpses he saw when he was collecting the jade bottles.
He carefully examined several of them, and found that the dantian of all of them had exploded without exception.
Those with weak physiques were blown into pieces like Song Shu; those with stronger physiques were still intact after death, but were also twisted into a knot.
Judging from the results, it is not difficult to guess that when these people left, some kind of restriction was quietly planted in their dantian.
Once they use their true energy and touch their Dantian, the restriction will immediately explode, spreading into their limbs and bones, destroying everything in its path.
It turned out that Uncle Li had no intention of leaving them alive from the very beginning, and all his previous actions were just to quickly screen out those who deserved to die.
But how can Uncle Master be sure that the disciples of Shengxian Peak will speak?
Xu Tianming continued to think about it and soon thought of Uncle Li's evil behavior, which was like that of a demon cultivator, with unpredictable moods and the desire to kill people at will.
Looking at Master Li now, although he still had a cold demeanor and looked unapproachable, he was much better than the evil and charming look just now.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianming suddenly realized.
Yes, those disciples from Shengxian Peak had no idea that they were from the Wanmai Sword Sect.
Uncle Li did it on purpose, pretending to be a demon cultivator so that those people would misunderstand and let down their guard and speak.
This hint should have started when Uncle Li slaughtered the monks of the Pantheon. He actually thought...
Recalling his outrageous thoughts from before, Xu Tianming blushed and fell to his knees. "Uncle Master, I am stupid. I only figured it out now."
Xiang Sheng picked up a bottle of ownerless energy and absorbed it, saying lightly, "What did you figure out?"
Xu Tianming blushed and told everyone his thoughts.
Xiang Sheng changed the jade bottle and chuckled, "You can think of this, it seems you are not too stupid."
This statement could not really be considered praise, but Xu Tianming seemed to have received great recognition, and his eyes brightened a little.
He took a deep breath and said carefully, "Uncle Master, Tianming still has something I don't understand."
Absorbing vital energy does not require any mental effort. Xiang Sheng has nothing to do, so he took over the conversation.
"Get up and talk."
Xu Tianming stood up obediently, sat down cross-legged, and asked respectfully:
"Uncle Master, the green wooden token in your hand should be the Pantheon's communication talisman. Why don't you just destroy it?
If the people from the Pantheon didn't have the communication talisman to remind them, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble, and Uncle wouldn't have to do anything himself..."
After listening to this, Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "You can think of the changes that the Pantheon can't think of?
If we could destroy this communication talisman, everything would be fine. How could the Pantheon still exist today?"
Xu Tianming's face flushed again when he heard this, and he said softly, "I thought it was too simple..."
"Your intentions are pure, otherwise the Pantheon wouldn't have chosen you to attack."
Xiang Sheng spoke in a gentle tone: "But you are young after all, and you have too little experience.
Every failure is a learning experience. In the future, think more carefully about what you are facing and act after careful planning.
Xu Tianming didn't expect Xiang Sheng to say this.
Uncle Li...are you trying to comfort him?
He recalled in his mind the ferocity with which Xiang Sheng slaughtered his enemies with an expressionless face. He was stunned for a moment as he watched the soft tone of voice as Xiang Sheng's red lips opened and closed. His face suddenly felt hot as if on fire.
Uncle Li is cruel and ruthless to outsiders, but seems to be very good to his own people... even when he scolds them, his tone is not harsh.
Thinking of this, his prejudice against this new uncle was thrown out of the window.
Uncle Li is clearly a very good person, he definitely cannot be someone like Taiyin.
The sect leader did not clarify the rumors, probably because he had deeper plans, but he was not of high status and was not qualified to understand.
Just like before he met his uncle-master, he didn't know that powerful beings above the Spirit Transformation Stage could also enter the Hunyuan Secret Realm.
After thinking this through, Xu Tianming began to have ambitions in his heart.
Uncle Li was right. He was still young, only a little over eight hundred years old.
He must practice hard and become stronger. One day, he will be able to become a sword master like his uncle and look down on all others!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Xu Tianming took a deep breath, and without further ado, asked Xiang Chang for instructions, then picked up a bottle of ownerless true essence and absorbed it.
Silence returned to the forest.
Xiang Sheng let his vital energy surge and be tempered in his dantian. Looking at the green wooden plaque in his palm, a hint of coldness flashed across his half-closed eyes.
What Xu Tianming said was basically correct. She slaughtered the monks of the Pantheon intentionally to leave a cruel and ruthless image in front of the group of disciples from the Ascension Peak. She even deliberately slowed down the speed of the slaughter to deepen the impression.
Otherwise, with her current strength, she could easily sweep away the mere 600 out-of-body cultivators with one sword.
But Xu Tianming was wrong about one thing.
She did this not to let the group of disciples mistakenly believe that she was a casual cultivator of the demonic sect, but to divert her identity to that of Taiyin.
Perhaps at this moment, the group of disciples at Shengxian Peak all thought that the one who let them leave was a demon cultivator.
But once that group of people make a fuss and the news spreads, Xu Tianming's identity will definitely be revealed.
Once this matter is linked to the Wanmai Sword Sect, and coupled with such a reckless style of behavior, everyone in the cultivation world will naturally think of Taiyin.
As the saying goes, too much debt is never a burden.
Taiyin and the Pantheon are mortal enemies.
She had let Taiyin take the blame for removing the Sword Sect's centrifugal Gu, and now that she had another person taking the blame, it wouldn't prevent the Pantheon from continuing to hunt down Taiyin.
And with Qin Tianque as her guarantor, Taiyin will not come out to stop her before she finds the inheritance tower, so she has no pressure in shifting the blame.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The one called "Yanxin" often split his soul into two and took over other people's bodies, walking around as a puppet. This reminded her of someone she had met before.
The mother of the eldest brother Wang Tuo, the adopted daughter of the Demon King Xuesu, Princess Yuejiao.
If there is no speculation, the one who took over Yue Jiao's body and competed with the fifth and sixth hall masters of the Pantheon for the credit was this "Yamaxin".
According to Sui Lian's memory, "Yan Xin" was once ranked only seventh among the ten hall masters.
More than forty years ago, the fifth and sixth hall masters died one after another, and Yanxin naturally ranked fifth.
Back then in the Demon Rift Valley, Yin Bufeng died at her hands, but the Sixth Palace Master escaped.
However, there was no sound from these two people later. She guessed at the time that they were probably secretly dealt with by Qin Tianque. Even if the Pantheon resurrected them, no information would be leaked.
Otherwise, wouldn’t all the efforts Qin Tianque put into using the Eye of Samsara to resurrect so many people be in vain?
She hadn't felt anything was wrong, but now thinking about it, she felt something strange.
How did Qin Tianque make Yin Bufeng and the others shut up?
