Volume 5: Seven Dao Sects Chapter 33: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole (Part 1)
Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan returned to the residential area together. Mo Yan hadn't seen the King of Western Rat for a long time, so he took the initiative to suggest going to see it.
But when the two of them entered Lu Qingshan's temporary wooden building, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but frown. In the empty wooden building, there was no trace of the King of Western Rat.
"Where has the King of Rat from the West gone now?" Lu Qingshan muttered.
Since the Seven Realms Forum does not allow the entry of monsters without a contract, Lu Qingshan can only let the King of the Western Rat stay alone in the wooden building.
But he specifically reminded that the re-examination in the Spirit Sealing Tower would take about a month, and asked the King of Western Rat to be well behaved during this period and not to run around.
But I didn’t expect that the little mouse demon was still nowhere to be seen.
…
The core area of Lundao City.
The six great monks of Dao Sect gathered together, all looking at the bright-faced master of Shuiyue Temple.
Xuanji Dazun frowned and was the first to ask, "Why did the Shuiyue Temple master call us here in such a hurry?"
The head of Shuiyue Temple smiled sweetly, shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't have anything to do with you..."
"What is that?" Master Chang Geng's face darkened.
"King Qingmei and I called you here." A steady voice came.
Afterwards, the figures of the Master of Tianji Temple and King Qingmei walked out from the back hall.
Seeing these two people, everyone was stunned, and then hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the master, King Qingmei."
King Qingmei waved his hand, "You're welcome."
"Master, King Qingmei, why are you here too?" Palace Master Lingye was very surprised.
"We are here for the underworld," the Tianji Temple Master scanned everyone's faces and finally said slowly, "The Seven Realms Forum was proposed by His Majesty. The purpose is to train a group of powerful monks who can stand on their own for the upcoming demon war."
The monks nodded without saying anything.
Only this kind of top priority, which concerns the survival of the entire human race, can persuade them to abandon the concept of sect and agree to hold the Seven Realms Forum.
"This is a major event that has never happened to the human race before," Tianji Temple Master paused, his eyes solemn, and explained, "But for the underworld hidden in the human race, it is like a bolt from the blue. After all, the meaning of their existence is to stir up trouble in the human race's territory and destroy the human race's vitality. For such a major event, it is impossible for the underworld to say that they have no evil intentions. Therefore, King Qingmei and I quietly lurked in Lundao City, secretly observing, waiting for those underworld monks with ill intentions to show up on their own initiative."
"Master, do you mean that we have gained something?" said the Xuankong Saint Master uncertainly.
The head of Tianji Temple nodded and said, "On the night before the retest, an unidentified cultivator sneaked into the Fengling Tower and secretly changed the illusion arrays on the ninth and nineteenth floors into killing arrays. He intended to use this to massacre our human race's talented cultivators and disrupt the Seven Realms' Discussion of the Dao."
hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath and their expressions changed slightly when they heard this.
The master of Tianji Temple glanced at everyone's expressions and didn't say much.
"After this monk left the Spirit Sealing Tower, we immediately changed the tampered killing formation back to an illusion formation. At the same time, we secretly followed this monk, trying to follow the clues and catch the person behind him." King Qingmei went on to introduce.
"So what was the final situation?" Xuanji asked solemnly, "Did they run into any trouble and need our help?"
“But since leaving the Spirit Sealing Tower, this cultivator has actually been staying in Lun Dao City without any other movement. Even though he knew that he was a cultivator participating in the re-examination of the Spirit Sealing Tower, after he had no problems on the ninth and nineteenth floors of the Spirit Sealing Tower, he still sat on the mountain with confidence.” The master of Tianji Temple said indifferently.
"The cultivator from the underworld is so calm and doesn't care about the failure of his action?" The voice of the master of Shuiyue Temple became low, feeling a little helpless and a little unbelievable.
"It's not that I don't care..." Taibai Sword Master, who had been silent and listening quietly, interrupted, "If I'm not mistaken, this person's action this time is more of a test of our reaction to the underworld. It's the so-called stirring up trouble and luring the snake out of its hole! The purpose is to determine whether we have any precautions and plans against them during this discussion of the Seven Realms."
Tianji Temple Master's eyes sparkled, and he nodded, agreeing with what Taibai Sword Master said, "Indeed, we have collected some hidden evidence that clearly shows that the cultivators sent by the underworld to interfere with the discussion of the Seven Realms should be two groups.
One group is in the open, and the other group is in secret, and the two do not interfere with each other.
They first sent out the visible group of people to carry out the operation. If no one was monitoring every move in Lundao City, then their design of the Fengling Tower would succeed smoothly and they would naturally get what they wanted, and there would be no need to send out the other group of people.
If we really are luring you into a trap, after discovering the changes in the Spirit Sealing Pagoda, we will not tolerate any cultivator dying in the re-examination no matter what.
As long as all the monks are safe and sound in the re-examination, the monks in the open will understand that their plan has failed. Then it will be the turn of the monks in secret to start their own actions.
And the exchange of intelligence between the two does not require any meeting at all.
Because the details are public."
The headmaster Chang Geng's face changed slightly. "If it is as the master of Tianji Temple said, then won't there be unexpected situations in the next seven domains' discussion?"
"That's right." The Green Eyebrow King responded, "It's very likely, or he has other plans."
"Then does the temple master have any information about the other group of monks from the underworld who are hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike?" The master of Yishui Palace asked coldly.
"No," the head of Tianji Temple shook his head, his piercing eyes seemed to see through it all, and he said indifferently: "However, the Fengling Tower is a confidential place, and only the cultivators of our seven major sects know the specific secret doors and various formations. Then why can the cultivators from the underworld pass through it quietly and successfully tamper with the formation?"
The master of Tianji Temple spoke in a calm tone, but with a sharp questioning tone.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
After an unknown amount of time, the head of Shuiyue Temple looked at the head of Tianji Temple in disbelief, and asked suspiciously in a tone that even she herself could not believe: "Master, you mean that among the high-level cultivators of our Dao Sect, there are people who are the accomplices of the underworld???"
All those present were superiors and powerful monks, but after hearing the words of the Master of Shuiyue Temple, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
This is simply unimaginable.
The Seven Great Taoist Sects and Daxia are the highest forces of the human race and are the ones that can determine the direction of the human race.
Is there actually a spy from the underworld among this group of people?
If the underworld has really infiltrated to such an extent, doesn't that mean that many of their decisions are exposed before the demons?
“Although I am reluctant to admit it, the truth is most likely like this.” The Green Eyebrow King’s voice gradually deepened, and he said in a stiff tone: “Moreover, I am not sure whether the accomplice of this underworld is among those present here!”
