Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 19: Night Conspiracy
"Okay, then each of you go and choose a wooden building and settle down there for the time being." The middle-aged monk instructed.
Everyone nodded and then dispersed, each looking for a room.
Crunch.
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a ray of sunlight spread in through the crack in the door, forming a long and thin line of light on the ground.
Then a figure of varying lengths stretched by the sunlight also walked in.
Lu Qingshan's eyes swept across the spacious pavilion in front of him. There was also a small spirit gathering array engraved in the building, which made the spiritual energy in it extremely rich. It was actually a small paradise for cultivation.
The King of Western Rat moaned happily and jumped out of Lu Qingshan's sleeve.
It likes it here!
There will be hundreds of thousands of such small paradises for cultivation in Lundao City!
This is the work of the seven major Taoist sects and Daxia.
…
At night, the moon is high in the sky, and the bright white moonlight is pouring down from the sky. The entire huge Lundao City is now shrouded in moonlight.
In the wooden building, Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged in the center of the spirit gathering array, his hands forming the Taoist practice seal, and wisps of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye flowed out from all around, continuously drilling into his body...
Beside him, a strange gray rat demon sat cross-legged, its chest rising and falling in a regular rhythm.
Waves of spiritual power that were ten times more concentrated than Lu Qingshan's continuously poured into its body.
The small body seemed like a bottomless pit , swallowing up such rich spiritual energy without any reaction.
The practice lasted for about half an hour, and Lu Qingshan's tightly closed eyes slightly opened.
"The condition has recovered to the best." Lu Qingshan murmured in a low voice. His pair of dark eyes were now flashing with a faint jade-like luster, which was quite beautiful.
There were countless wooden buildings all around, and no one knew how many monks were inside them, but at this moment there was complete silence, as if everyone was seizing the last night before the re-examination.
Under the cover of night, quietness is the main theme, and conspiracy and murderous intent are also major keys.
Inside a strange tall tower, a dark shadow hurriedly walked out.
After leaving the tower, the black shadow first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he found a direction and hurriedly disappeared.
A moment later, two faint shadows gradually became clear and emerged in front of the seemingly empty tower.
"Master, it's just as you expected. This grand Seven Realms Competition that alarmed the human race has indeed alarmed these insects in the underworld." One of the monks in black robes murmured.
"The Seven Realms Forum is a great event for us humans, but it is a disaster for the underworld and the demons. They will definitely try to sabotage this forum." The monk called the master said softly, "But the Soul Locking Tower is a supreme place. He was able to walk out of it without being noticed. His method is really brilliant..."
The moonlight shone on his face, revealing the face of the new abbot of the Tianji Temple of Taoist Sect!
The black-robed monk nodded and said in a grim tone, "He secretly changed the ninth and nineteenth layers of the illusion array into a killing array, intending to use it to kill the monks participating in the Seven Realms Discussion. If he really succeeds, not to mention the death and injury of countless talented monks, with such a mistake, it will be difficult for us to continue the Seven Realms Discussion. An event planned for the election of human geniuses has become a farce, and Daxia and the seven major sects will lose face because of this, and their arrogance will also increase! Killing three birds with one stone, the underworld really hits the nail on the head!"
"The methods used by cultivators from the underworld have always been so sinister. It's not surprising." The temple master commented calmly.
"I hope that this time, with the help of the temple master and I, we can find out the people behind him." The black-robed monk said in a deep voice, "However, why is this underworld monk so familiar with the Soul Locking Tower? He is well versed in all the monitoring and secret doors of the Soul Locking Tower, and he can quietly enter and change the formation without alerting anyone?"
"King Qingmei, don't you know, or don't you want to believe it?" The master of Tianji Temple stared at the black-robed monk with a deep gaze.
After a long silence, the black-robed monk called the Green Eyebrow King finally spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "But... why? As the pillars of the human race, why would they betray the human race?"
Only the top leaders of the seven major Taoist sects and Daxia, the so-called powerful cultivators, the backbone of the human race, have access to the Soul Locking Tower.
There can only be one reason why the monks in the underworld are so familiar with a secret place like the Soul Locking Tower.
Among this group of people, there are people from the underworld!
Similarly, the underworld has been able to lurk among the human race for 20,000 years and continue to grow. Behind it, there must be an extremely large human force covering and supporting it.
This, in their eyes, is a consensus.
But they have never been able to find out who the traitor is.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Seven Realms Discussion, they knew that the Underworld could not remain indifferent to this, so the Master of Tianji Temple and the Qingmei King of Daxia decided to take action personally and wait and see.
After finding the monk from the underworld who did something wrong, we will use this to look for clues about the traitor of the human race. We must catch any trace of this deeply hidden traitor of the human race.
In order to maintain the absolute secrecy of the operation, the plan must not be leaked to the underworld.
They did not reveal this matter to any third party, and even the other six major Taoist sects were unaware of it !
"I have already branded him with the Xuantian Spirit Mark, so he can't escape." The master of Tianji Temple stared at the black shadow that had disappeared and said in a serious tone, "Now, let's deal with the two killing arrays first."
"Understood." King Qingmei replied.
Your Majesty attaches great importance to this discussion among the Seven Realms and no mistakes can be made!
…
Ding! Ding! Ding!
As the sound of the bells echoed throughout the entire Lundao City, all the cultivators opened their eyes, stood up and flew out of the wooden building.
They saw that in the air above Lundao City, bursts of colorful lights suddenly appeared.
This rich light spread in all directions, almost covering the entire sky, and in the light, a towering spire came into view.
At this time, there were already Da Xia monks waiting outside.
"Monks from Qingzhou, come with me." A monk wearing a black uniform with five claws printed on the cuffs stood in front of Lu Qingshan and the others and shouted loudly.
Then, he turned into a stream of light and led everyone to the re-examination site.
Lundao City was very large, and the re-examination site was clearly located within the city, but it took them half an hour to get there.
When the leading monk slowed down, the eyes of all the participating monks immediately turned to the re-examination place in front of them, and then many of them froze slightly.
A curtain of light separated the two worlds.
The outside world is the prosperous Lundao City, but within the light curtain, there is a gray sky and seven vast and majestic mountains, as well as a huge bronze tower filled with colorful precious light located in the center of the seven mountains!
