Although the Yuanyue Sect is named after "Yuanyue" (meaning "round moon"), it is also known as the Demonic Sect in the martial arts world. As the leader of this Demonic Sect, Ren Woxing has seen far more than a few treacherous and cunning people.
But this was the first time I'd ever met someone as cunning as Chu Qinghe, who always seemed to like shouting at the air even when there was nothing wrong.
The words that were about to be spoken were instantly swallowed back, and even the coldness in his eyes increased.
After all, it's not shameful to be discovered.
It's a bit hurtful to be tricked into revealing something just by being tested.
At the same time, Chu Qinghe sighed inwardly as he looked at Ren Tianxing across from him.
"As expected, we've been targeted!"
Although Chu Qinghe came out under the guise of watching a show, the process involved the Azure Dragon Society, the imperial court, and the Southern Shaolin Temple.
It also involves martial artists at the Celestial Realm.
But this time, whether it was targeting the Southern Shaolin Temple or the imperial court, Chu Qinghe and his group could be seen.
Naturally, Chu Qinghe and Shuimu Yinji, the few spectators, stood out even more.
This is why, after Chu Qinghe finished dealing with matters at court and left the capital, he would occasionally utter a few words of deception along the way.
The current situation undoubtedly proves Chu Qinghe's previous concerns.
"But who leaked the information to this guy?"
If Ren Tianxing had been with Chu Qinghe when he left the capital, he would have seen Chu Qinghe's trickery several times before, and it's impossible for him to be suddenly exposed now.
Therefore, the fact that he was so easily fooled is enough to show that Ren Tianxing only arrived around Wudang Mountain last night or even today and followed him all the way here.
As his thoughts raced through his mind, Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with his folding fan and slowly spoke, "You've been following me all this way, what is your purpose?"
In response to Chu Qinghe's question, Ren Tianxing said, "There are some things I would like to ask you to come with me, young master."
His voice was somewhat hoarse and had an ethereal quality, completely different from the voice Ren Tianxing used when he spoke at the Southern Shaolin Temple. It was clear that he had changed his voice through the stimulation of his true energy.
Upon hearing Ren Tianxing's first words, Chu Qinghe smiled inwardly.
He then slowly said, "Since you want to invite people, doesn't Master Ren think you should judge people by their true appearance?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe address him by that name, Ren Tianxing's expression hardened.
A few breaths later, Ren Tianxing said coldly, "Since you know my identity, it seems that your relationship with the Azure Dragon Society is closer than I imagined!"
In response to Ren Tianxing's words, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with the Azure Dragon Society. However, the calluses on your right hand from years of using a knife are too obvious. In addition, with your cultivation at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, it would be difficult not to guess your identity."
Upon hearing the voice, Ren Tianxing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the callus on his right hand, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.
After understanding why his identity had been exposed, Ren Tianxing raised his hand and pulled off the mask covering his face, revealing his aged appearance.
Although his face is already wrinkled, you can tell from Ren Tianxing's features that he must have been extremely handsome when he was young.
However, the faint murderous intent between his brows made Ren Tianxing's face, though wrinkled, lack any warmth or kindness, instead adding a touch of coldness.
With his gaze fixed on Ren Tianxing, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Senior is quite straightforward."
Upon hearing this, Ren Tianxing snorted and then asked, "Boy, I want to know what your relationship is with the Azure Dragon Society that makes them treat you so well?"
In response to Ren Tianxing's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "If Senior Ren wants to know this, he can ask the Azure Dragon Society. Why bother asking me?"
Ren Tianxing said coldly, "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head and said, "I have some connections with the Azure Dragon Society, but not much. Like you, I only do some transactions with the Azure Dragon Society to get what I need. If you want to find out any information about the Azure Dragon Society from me, you will be disappointed."
Upon hearing the voice, Ren Tianxing said with a blank expression, "It seems you've already guessed what I'm thinking."
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "I have no prior grudges with you, senior. Isn't this the only reason you would seek me out?"
Ren Tianxing chuckled and said, "That's right. If it were before, I would have been just curious about your and the Azure Dragon Society's identities, but unfortunately, that's not the case now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Tianxing's true energy began to circulate rapidly within his body.
The next instant, Ren Tianxing, who was still three zhang away, suddenly moved and rushed towards Chu Qinghe.
However, the moment Ren Tian moved, the jellyfish Yin Ji, who had been quietly staying beside Chu Qinghe, also moved.
As she moved sideways to block Chu Qinghe, Shui Mu Yin Ji quickly raised her hand.
As she struck out with her palm, streams of true energy rapidly flowed from the palm of the Water Mother Yin Ji, then condensed into a water arrow about three feet long, which shot towards Ren Tianxing at a speed that even thunder and lightning could not match.
Sensing the movement in the air, Ren Tianxing calmly raised his hand and casually slapped the water arrow away.
However, the moment Ren Tianxing's hand touched the water arrow, he felt a special power from it.
This force is like the first surge of a wave, surging endlessly, yet mixed with a chilling sharpness.
Caught completely off guard, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but take three steps back, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shuimu Yinji.
