"Qin Clan?" Xiao Man asked with surprise. So Qin Lao might know something. But judging by his appearance, Qin Lao didn't seem to know much.
Qin Lao was also very puzzled. After all, he had fallen for over a thousand years. How could he remember such trivial matters? Moreover, in his memory, the pursuit of martial arts at its peak was his lifelong goal. As for Wuji City, it was not in his memory at all.
Sect Master Wen finally noticed Xiao Man's presence. Seeing Xiao Man's unfamiliar face, he asked in confusion, "Who is this person..."
"A newly accepted attendant. He looked clever, so I kept him," Wen Ting glanced at Xiao Man and said, "Father, Yue Tianxia is definitely hiding something. Will what he's hiding pose a threat to us?"
Sect Master Wen was also unsure. After all, Yue Tianxia was not a good person, and he might be using them as cannon fodder.
"Perhaps only people from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect know about this. Only these two sects have been passed down through generations and have different foundations. The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect rarely interact. I'll go to Tian Xuzi to inquire about the news."
Xiao Man shook her head at Wen Ting, signaling him to stop Sect Master Wen.
"Father, come back!" Wen Ting called out to Sect Master Wen. "Father, you've always been cunning and treacherous..."
"You scoundrel, what are you talking about!" Sect Master Wen hit Wen Ting hard on the head. "What do you mean cunning and treacherous? Your father is called resourceful!"
"Yes, Father, you are resourceful. Haven't you ever wondered why only the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect have remained unchanged for a thousand years?" Wen Ting retorted. "Haven't you ever suspected that these two sects might have secretly joined forces?"
Sect Master Wen slowly sat down. He had indeed suspected it, but the Heavenly Profound Sect had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, never colluding with Yue Tianxia. Moreover, they would speak up for others. If these two sects joined forces, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, manipulating all the cultivators in the world, then their ambitions would be immense.
"You brat, do you know something?" Sect Master Wen asked in a low voice.
"Father, you saw those two people beside Yue Tianxia tonight, didn't you? You can't see through their cultivation, can you?"
"It's not just me who can't see through them. Even my Blazing Holy Lion can't. Their cultivation must be at the Nascent Soul stage." Sect Master Wen frowned. "When did Cang Xuan produce so many Nascent Soul stage powerhouses?"
"Father, have you noticed that Yue Tianxia is very afraid of those two people?"
Sect Master Yue looked at Xiao Man, feeling that it was better not to have a third person present for some topics. Once the information leaked out, it would be very disadvantageous to their Beast Taming Sect.
"You go out and wait."
"It's alright, she's my person and will never reveal a single word," Wen Ting patted the chair beside him and said, "Come and sit down and listen."
Sect Master Yue's suspicious gaze swept over the two of them. After a long time, Sect Master Yue tentatively asked, "Son, you don't actually have a penchant for young men, do you?"
Wen Ting's face darkened. "Father, you're overthinking it. I like women, only women!"
"Then the girl I picked for you last time..."
"I have someone I like!" Wen Ting said irritably. "Let's talk about business."
"Your business is to get married and have children and continue the family line!"
"If you get killed in Wuji City by Yue Tianxia, let alone getting married and having children, you'll probably be childless," Su Dan Novel Network
"You scoundrel, you're talking nonsense again." Sect Master Wen loved and hated this son, but he was his only heir. Even though he knew he was a scoundrel, he had to find a way to protect him. Fortunately, this brat had improved over the years and was more reliable in his actions, but he still felt uneasy.
"If Xiao Man is really not in Wuji City, perhaps Yue Tianxia wants to destroy Xiao Man's influence while she's away."
"Wuji City is nothing. It doesn't even have a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse. Do we need to gather all the cultivators in the world to attack it? And the four great sects have to mobilize. The Heavenly Sword Sect alone is enough," Wen Ting reminded Sect Master Wen. "Even the Heavenly Profound Sect, which has always stayed out of worldly affairs, has mobilized. Father, don't you find anything strange?"
"Just say what you want to say." Sect Master Wen understood. His son probably got some inside information from somewhere and wanted to tell him but was afraid he wouldn't believe it, hence the roundabout way of speaking.
"Father, I suspect there is a big secret in Wuji City. Any matter involving a big secret will inevitably lead to countless casualties," Wen Ting said as if it were true. "Have you forgotten why the demon race released the Demon Lord and created a sacrificial formation to turn everyone who entered into living sacrifices..."
"Yue Tianxia, how dare he!"
"What dare he not do?" Wen Ting retorted. "If he kills us all, who will be his opponent? Coupled with the mysterious forces behind him, who can contend with him?"
"Wait, you keep mentioning the mysterious forces behind Yue Tianxia. Doesn't the Heavenly Sword Sect have any powerful forces? The Heavenly Sword Sect is already the strongest."
Wen Ting looked at Xiao Man. He couldn't continue his fabricated story as he didn't know what the forces behind Yue Tianxia were.
"You speak, and tell the Sect Master everything you've found out."
"Yes, Young Sect Master," Xiao Man replied obsequiously. Fortunately, she had set up a soundproof barrier when she entered. "Your subordinate has found out that there is a powerful force behind the Heavenly Sword Sect. This force possesses countless Golden Core stage powerhouses, and even quite a few Nascent Soul stage powerhouses."
"Impossible!"
"It's absolutely true," Xiao Man looked up. "The people behind the Heavenly Sword Sect are from the Heavenly Demon Clan."
"Demon Clan!" Sect Master Wen jumped up, then felt his reaction was too intense and slowly sat down. "The Heavenly Demon Clan is already extinct, isn't it?"
"The current masters of the Cang Xuan Continent are the Heavenly Demon Clan, and those who have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage did not tear space and go to the upper continent, but entered the Heavenly Demon Clan," Xiao Man said unhurriedly. "And in the past few thousand years, the most Nascent Soul stage powerhouses have emerged from..."
"The Heavenly Profound Sect." Fine beads of cold sweat broke out on Sect Master Wen's forehead. He suddenly had the urge to flee. If they escaped now, could they survive?
"Sect Master, escape is impossible," Xiao Man said unhurriedly. "All the cultivators on the Cang Xuan Continent are under the control of the Heavenly Demon Clan."
"Impossible. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Demon Clan is, they cannot control all the cultivators in Cang Xuan."
"They can," Xiao Man said affirmatively. "The cultivators of Cang Xuan have a fatal weakness: they are afraid of Meteor Fire Stones. Do you know why, Sect Master?"
"Because Meteor Fire Stones can detect spiritual energy."
"No, it's because Meteor Fire Stones can trigger the demonic poison hidden within the cultivators' bodies, leading to the destruction of their foundation and their death."
"What is this demonic poison?"
"It is a unique demonic poison of the Heavenly Demon Clan. It can accelerate cultivation, but it will cause the poisoned person to be controlled by the Heavenly Demon Clan. Once they disobey the Heavenly Demon Clan, they will be exterminated by the Heavenly Demon Clan."
