This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 753 - 45: Leaving with the Sword (Seeking Subscriptions)_3
"After killing that Sixth Grade Demon General, I obtained two rings from his body; one was a Storage Ring, the other was this item."
Lu Qingshan slowly said, "Originally, I couldn’t understand how the Demon Race was able to precisely locate me, see through my disguise, and directly state my real identity."
"It wasn’t until I saw what was in this ring that I understood the reason." At the thought, a flash of light suddenly passed over the white ring.
The next moment, a strange, multicolored butterfly appeared.
The Hundred Illusions Butterfly.
This ring, similar to a Spirit Beast Bag.
At the moment it appeared, the Hundred Illusions Butterfly couldn’t wait to rush toward Lu Qingshan as if he were a delicate, enticing flower with an infinite attraction. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Xia Daoyun’s gaze sharpened as he watched the butterfly finally settle on the back of Lu Qingshan’s hand, "Can this demon beast lock onto your scent?"
Lu Qingshan nodded, "That’s right."
"Moreover," he continued, "I’ve seen this type of demon butterfly before in the Rinsing Spirit Sect, and I had asked the Sect Cultivators then what kind of demon beast it was."
"The answer they gave me was that this was a new breed of demon beast cultivated by the Rinsing Spirit Sect, a unique species in the world, so he didn’t know exactly what type it was considered."
"So, it could be assumed that this demon butterfly is the same one I saw in the Rinsing Spirit Sect."
Cultivators always have an exceptional memory.
When he visited the Rinsing Spirit Sect, the Hundred Illusions Butterfly had once flown by him, leaving an impression, so he recognized it immediately upon seeing it again.
"The Rinsing Spirit Sect’s demon butterfly ended up in the hands of the Demon Race and was used to track me.
Moreover, there was also an incident at the Seven Domains Conclave about the Rinsing Spirit Sect Leader Chang Geng being an Underworld Cultivator." Lu Qingshan did not give his judgment but simply objectively stated the facts.
"Furthermore, I once sabotaged an Underworld plot in Lingxu Prefecture, Qing State. At that time, they had mobilized all the power of Lingxu Netherworld in an attempt to obtain a corpse buried in the Demon Spirit Tomb—the Gengjin Tiger King," Lu Qingshan added.
"At that time, I had a doubt. Though the physical body of a Fifth Grade Gengjin Tiger King is precious, it surely isn’t valuable enough to make the entire Lingxu Netherworld exhaust all its efforts to obtain it..."
"Unless," he said, "this corpse of the Gengjin Tiger King held some unknown special use for the Netherworld."
"Later, during a trip to the Rinsing Spirit Sect, I learned another critical piece of information."
"The Rinsing Spirit Sect had been collecting the essence blood of the four spirits for the practice of the Soul Hosting and Beast Control Divine Skills.
And the Gengjin Tiger King just happened to be from the White Tiger bloodline, from which White Tiger Essence Blood can be refined." This was the connection he suddenly made in the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
"Such a coincidence..." Lu Qingshan said calmly, "So I instinctively linked these two matters together.
However, I have studied a Pupil Skill called ’Distinguishing Evil’, which allows me to see the murderous intentions others have towards me.
Thus, when I became suspicious of the Rinsing Spirit Sect, I used this Pupil Skill to examine the sect’s situation.
But as it turned out, there was no one within my field of vision who harbored any murderous intent towards me."
Lu Qingshan stood from a third-person perspective and presented all the doubts and good news about this situation.
He also understood what outcome would befall him if his identity were exposed during this mission to the Abyss.
Therefore, before leaving, he had to inform others about these critical messages.
It was somewhat like making arrangements for after his potential demise.
"I understand," Xia Daoyun’s eyes flashed with a sharp cold light as he said coldly, "Rinsing Spirit Sect..."
The information Lu Qingshan provided was nearly enough to confirm definitively that there must also be other traitors within the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
"Before you return, I will only investigate this matter secretly and won’t publicize the situation with the Hundred Illusions Butterfly," Xia Daoyun stated.
If the matter of the Hundred Illusions Butterfly were publicized, it would become impossible to hide Lu Qingshan’s identity anymore—how could the butterfly, clearly given to Qing Ge, appear in the hands of the Human Race?
This was also why Lu Qingshan had only informed Xia Daoyun about this matter.
Because he didn’t trust anyone else.
If others learned of this, they would certainly start a high-profile investigation of the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
As for keeping this secret for him?
Impossible.
Could the life of a Fifth Realm cultivator be more important than exposing an internal traitor within the Taoist Sect?
Only Xia Daoyun regarded his life with such importance.
......
After a brief discussion, Xia Daoyun led Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao away from Yumen Pass.
Under Xia Daoyun’s lead, the three of them moved at an extremely fast pace across the wilderness.
The scenery along the way rushed by so fast that it blurred into a residual image, utterly indiscernible.
Xia Daoyun was doing this to help him make up for the three days missing in the middle, to compensate for the time discrepancy.
After a while, the surrounding scenery finally became clear.
"Three hundred li ahead is the closest Demon Race city to where you were attacked, Feather Demon City," Xia Daoyun stopped, "Complete all your preparations here."
Lin Yao said softly, "Young Master Lu, get ready."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Yao extended her palms, gently brought them together, and formed an extremely profound Seal Technique.
"All laws return to their origins, drawing the hexagrams can change the image..."
An ethereal voice sounded, unexpectedly causing a sudden tremor from Lin Yao’s body, making her shiver slightly.
