Chapter 423: Poaching
In this bureau of conscience, Cang Huai could not tell lies.
But he said that Qingfengzi and the messenger of God were not the same person, but Yun Qingqing felt there was something wrong.
She looked at the images on the light screen in the sky. There was very little information about the "messenger of God", and every time he appeared, he was wearing a black cloak with the hood pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.
But when Yun Qingqing saw a pale mask in the fleeting scene, she already knew what was going on.
She had fought with the mysterious man in the cave before, and the mysterious man who later blew up Yangshen and escaped was basically confirmed to be Qingfengzi, and the mask he wore was exactly the same as the one in this picture.
Ever since the world's spiritual energy began to dry up more than two thousand years ago, the lifespan of cultivators has become increasingly shorter, and now has dropped to only a hundred years or so, almost the same as that of ordinary people.
But Qingfengzi is good at taking over other people's bodies, and he would even kidnap people in advance and prepare "containers" for himself to take over other people's bodies. If he has been doing this for two thousand years, it would make sense.
And the important point is that he actually recognized the magic sword in Yun Qingqing's hand, Dawn.
From the perspective of the cultivators of this era, even the elders of the Seven Stars Hall only regarded Dawn as a top-level spiritual sword, and no one could recognize that it was a divine sword.
Therefore, she had long suspected that Qingfengzi might be from the same era as her.
Now, combined with the information provided by Cang Huai, if Qing Fengzi is the so-called "messenger of God", then it also corresponds to the matter of the Six Paths Heavenly Demon Formation in Pingzhou.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingqing looked at Cang Huai and asked in a cold voice:
"How much do you know about Qingfengzi?"
Cang Huai was staring at his memory in the air in a daze. He came back to his senses after she asked him. He didn't dare to hide anything and said:
"Not much. I only know that he spends most of his time traveling around and rarely returns to the sect."
Yun Qingqing was not surprised and asked another question:
"Where is the Honghuang Palace?"
Cang Huai shook his head and said:
"The location of Honghuang Palace is not something that we, the humble ones, can know. Only the Lord God's Envoy knows it."
Yun Qingqing seemed to be thinking:
"So, the symbol of joining for you followers of Honghuang Temple is the brand on your arm, and you all joined secretly and scattered among the major sects? You secretly serve that 'God Lord'?"
"That's right." Cang Huai nodded.
"Then if you know anyone who is a follower of Honghuang Palace, tell us everything." Yun Qingqing said coldly.
Cang Huai felt no psychological pressure to betray his colleagues, and quickly replied:
"Besides my master Qing Xuanzi, there are also Uncle Qing Fengzi, Senior Brother Cang Gu, and Junior Brother Cang Ming... these are all I know."
He couldn't lie in the conscience bureau, Yun Qingqing nodded. It seemed that he only knew the members of Honghuang Hall within the Tianxuan Sect, but it was hard to say whether there were other hidden people in the Tianxuan Sect.
Yun Qingqing asked a few more questions, but didn't get any new information, so she removed the barrier and let Qing Pingzi and others in.
When Cang Huai saw that the elders and the head of the sect were glaring at him covetously, he turned pale and shrank his neck.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"This inquiry will last for another stick of incense. You can ask him anything you want to know."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out directly. She was not interested in the internal affairs of Tianxuan Sect.
Qingpingzi hurriedly followed her out and called to her at the door:
"Grandmaster! Are you... ready to go back?"
Yun Qingqing stopped and looked back at him.
"Now that I have concluded my business here, I will return to the Imperial Capital."
Qingpingzi said quickly:
"Grandmaster, it's a rare visit for you. Why don't you stay for a while so that I can report to you about the situation of Tianxuan Sect in recent years."
Yun Qingqing glanced at him and smiled faintly, without exposing his obvious thoughts.
She thought for a moment and said:
"I can't stay too long. I'll stay here for a day and go back tomorrow."
"Yes! Then I will take you to your residence first. Master, please follow me!" Qingpingzi immediately led the way diligently.
Although he felt that staying for only one day was a bit short, there was a fundamental difference between Grandmaster Taizushi's willingness to stay and just leaving.
The former means that Grandmaster recognizes his relationship with the Tianxuan Sect, and Qingpingzi feels that this is extremely important to the sect.
He immediately led the way and took Yun Qingqing to the courtyard with the richest spiritual energy to settle down.
After walking a few steps, a disciple came running to report:
"Master, Elder Tianshu of the Seven Stars Hall is here to visit."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
Tianshu is the Taoist name of the great elder. I didn’t expect that he would come to Tianxuan Sect at this time.
"Hmm?" Qingpingzi frowned, "Did he say why he came to visit?"
"Master..." The disciple hesitated for a moment, and said in confusion, "Elder Tianshu said he came here to exchange ideas."
"Huh?" Qingpingzi was puzzled.
The Tianxuan Sect and the Qixing Palace are both major Xuanmen sects, so they are not strangers to each other, but they are not very close. They basically only meet for a short while at the Xuanmen Conference.
The time when they had the most interaction was when they went to Yun Qingqing to seek explanation.
Now the Grand Elder of the Seven Stars Palace suddenly came over and said he wanted to exchange ideas?
There's obviously something fishy going on here.
Qing Pingzi was in a hurry to send his "Grandmaster" to rest, and Cang Huai was also on the other side examining him. He was confused and unhappy at this moment, and frowned and said:
"Then let him wait. I will first let Grandmaster rest and then go meet him."
The disciple was stunned: "...Grandmaster?"
This title sounds obviously higher than the ancestor, which is too scary.
He looked around but didn't see any master who looked like the Great Ancestor.
As for Yun Qingqing, the disciple who brought the news had seen her when she first arrived, and knew that she was the regent princess of Liang invited by the sect leader, and did not associate her with her at all.
Qing Pingzi's face darkened, and he gestured respectfully to Yun Qingqing, and said seriously:
"She is the Grandmaster of our Tianxuan Sect. Pass on my order."
"...Ah?" The disciple's face became even more dazed, but when he saw the master's expression, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly agreed subconsciously: "Yes, yes! Disciple will go and pass on the order!"
Qing Pingzi nodded, turned to look at Yun Qingqing, and immediately resumed his respectful demeanor:
"Grandmaster, I will take you to the other garden to rest first."
Yun Qingqing shook her head and said:
"Let's go meet Elder Tianshu first. I'll go with you."
She had a feeling that Tianshu had a purpose for coming at this time. After all, both parties were her disciples, so it would be better to go and ask them clearly.
Qing Pingzi was a little surprised, but thinking that Yun Qingqing had a good relationship with the ancestor of the Seven Stars Hall, he didn't ask any more questions and nodded:
"Okay, I'll lead the way."
Yun Qingqing followed Qing Pingzi to the front hall, and saw Elder Tianshu standing with his hands behind his back, looking like a reclusive master. He had his back to the entrance, contemplating a painting in the hall.
Perhaps because the last meeting between the two factions was not pleasant, Elder Tianshu did not turn around when he heard the footsteps. He continued to study the calligraphy and paintings as if he was waiting for the opponent to greet him first.
Qing Pingzi saw his intention and was displeased, but because of the presence of the Grand Master, he suppressed his anger and stepped forward politely:
"I wonder what brings you here, Elder Tianshu?"
Elder Tianshu deliberately paused for a few moments, pinching the point where Qingpingzi felt the most uncomfortable but had no time to react, then he smiled and turned around, about to speak.
Then he saw Yun Qingqing, who was standing next to Qing Xuanzi, looking at him with a smile.
Elder Tianshu's mouth twitched and he almost lost his balance:
"Master... cough! Senior Yun! You are here, haha..."
Qingpingzi was stunned:...?
What's going on! Why did the great elder of the Seven Stars Hall also call Grandmaster Senior?
A sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
No wonder this old man suddenly came here for some exchange and discussion. It was obvious that he had discovered the extraordinary qualities of the Grandmaster and wanted to poach him!
