This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 912 - 1 Qingfeng Sect_3

Currently, there are two matters that need to be investigated urgently, and they are of great significance.

[People Who Shouldn’t Appear]

Origin: The appearance of Humans in the Abyssal World.

Source: Glazed Light Realm bordering the Central Spirit Domain, and Heaven’s Gate Realm bordering the Central Heavenly Realm.

Time: From ten thousand years ago to the present.

Speculation: There is a traitor among the Human Race aiding the Demon Race in kidnapping humans.

Culprit: Unknown.

[The Rinsing Spirit Sect Mystery]

Origin: The Demon Race uses the spirit beasts of the Rinsing Spirit Sect to locate and attack them.

Time: A month ago.

Additional Information: During the Seven Domains Symposium, there was an outbreak of information about the Chang Geng Sect Leader being an Underworld Cultivator.

However, the Rinsing Spirit Sect handled the situation decisively, executing the Chang Geng Sect Leader publicly, which "exonerated" themselves.

Speculation: There are still traitors within the Rinsing Spirit Sect.

"Judging by the current situation, there’s a high probability that these two events are intricately linked," Lu Qingshan muttered to himself.

"At least, the traitor aiding the Demon Race in the Central Spirit Domain can be temporarily pinpointed to the Rinsing Spirit Sect, which provides some clues, but..."

"The situation in the Central Heavenly Realm is much more complicated." Lu Qingshan frowned.

The Central Heavenly Realm is the most unique, housing both the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Great Xia Imperial Clan.

These two giants co-exist, with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion renowned for its insight into heavenly secrets.

So why has there been such a large-scale abduction of the Human Race to the Demon Domain from the Central Heavenly Realm over the years without any information being leaked?

Who possesses the capability to conceal this from these two giants?

Lu Qingshan could only think of one possibility.

These two giants themselves are the culprits.

But this assumption is simply too shocking.

On the surface, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion is regarded as the staunchest "loyalist" of the Human Race.

They have worked tirelessly to protect human stability, even at the cost of lives, with the previous Pavilion Master even sacrificing himself for this cause.

In the eyes of many, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s loyalty surpasses that of the Sword Sect.

As for the Great Xia Imperial Clan....

This is the bloodline of Ancestral Daoist Xia, who upheld the heavens, and there’s even less reason to collude with the Demon Race, which would imply a betrayal on a grand scale.

If these two giants were to conspire with the Demon Race, it would be an incredibly terrifying affair.

Logically, this is an impossibility, but from a purely rational perspective, this is the most plausible explanation.

Thus, Lu Qingshan is highly troubled.

"Let’s start with the Qingfeng Sect then."

Lu Qingshan thought to himself as he stared at the numerous Jade Slips before him.

These Jade Slips contain information on all sects named Qingfeng in the Central Heavenly Realm, compiled by the Black Ice Platform at his command.

This matter is highly complex and requires careful unraveling.

And the Qingfeng Sect associated with Chuyi and Shiwu is the thread Lu Qingshan has found.

"But..." Lu Qingshan rubbed his forehead.

"Why are there so many Qingfeng Sects? Couldn’t they be a bit more creative with the names?"

The Central Heavenly Realm is vast, and there are countless unknown small sects within it.

The name Qingfeng Sect is akin to a common name like "Zhang Wei," with a very high chance of duplication.

Thus, in the Central Heavenly Realm, there are seventy-eight sects named Qingfeng Sect.

What puzzles Lu Qingshan is that none of these seventy-eight Qingfeng Sects has been destroyed in the last decade.

According to Chuyi and Shiwu, their incident occurred within the last two or three years.

These pieces of information are obviously in conflict.

Either the Qingfeng Sect associated with Chuyi and Shiwu has not been entered into the Zhi Shou Lou intelligence database.

Or there’s some hidden truth that he is unaware of.

Due to his trust in Zhi Shou Lou’s information-gathering capabilities, Lu Qingshan leans towards the latter possibility.

Moreover, only this possibility can explain why such a large number of humans have gone missing without detection.

He shook his head helplessly and could only begin the arduous task of elimination.

Chuyi and Shiwu sat obediently beside Lu Qingshan, occasionally answering questions posed by him, assisting in locating the true position of the Qingfeng Sect.

Time trickled slowly by.

Lu Qingshan was extremely focused, and Chuyi and Shiwu were equally attentive.

No one noticed when a nearly imperceptible breeze swept through.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Lu Qingshan suddenly caught a faint whiff of a delicate fragrance.

"Hmm?" He was startled, shifting his attention from the Jade Slip, looking up.

At some point, a woman had appeared in the quiet room.

She was dressed in a plain blue robe, a jade crown on her head, and her visage was stunning and unparalleled.

Her brows were like distant mountains, exuding a grandeur seldom seen in women, her eyes clear and bright, like rosy clouds reflecting upon a serene pond, the autumn moon mirrored in the lake, silently watching Lu Qingshan.

Many women are beautiful, but this style of beauty, and to such a degree, Lu Qingshan had seen only once in his life.

Xia Daoyun.

Lu Qingshan was dumbstruck, "Master, why are you here?"
