"Preserving a thread of vitality, the Corpse Scattering Person resurrected in an unusual form..." Qingyu glanced at the records about Fatty Lan, "Hmm, when I have time, I should capture a Corpse Scattering Person to study, to see if I can uncover some mysteries about life and death."
The Corpse Scattering People of the Heavenly Demon Palace are said to be made through methods of Corpse Refinement. In reality, they still retain a trace of vitality. It should be said, without that trace of vitality, they wouldn't qualify as Corpse Scattering People and would simply be refined into zombies.
After all, once a person is killed, they die; if one were truly dead through and through, resurrection would not be so easy.
"Also, this Fatty Lan is somewhat peculiar. A martial artist from the Divine Origin Realm who has not combined the Three Elements, even at his peak, could hardly refine him into a Corpse Scattering Person, let alone in a severely injured state close to death. This person is indeed not to be underestimated."
Qingyu secretly marked this Mr. Corpse in his mind as someone to be wary of.
Apart from this peculiar Fatty Lan, there was nothing else noteworthy about the Heavenly Demon Palace. As the losing side in the last internal strife of the Demon Path, the Demon Lord is still hiding in the Heavenly Demon Realm recuperating. Most of the Heavenly Demon Palace's forces are busy protecting the Demon Lord and the safety of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and now they could hardly spare any experts.
Thus, the three young masters of the Heavenly Demon Palace are not as arrogant as those of the Blood Demon Sect, and they seemed to have been staying around Hong Province lately.
Following the Heavenly Demon Palace was information about Northern Zhou.
In recent times, Northern Zhou hasn't been as chaotic as Daqian, maintaining a superficial peace. This peace is maintained by the efforts of the leading Four Demonic Sects headed by the Yin Demon Sect.
With the top female expert of the Demon Path, Yin Tianxia, in the front, the people of the Blood Demon Sect dare not act recklessly in Northern Zhou.
Of course, this comes at a price. In return, the Four Demonic Sects have free reign in Northern Zhou, and in the future, the monks of the Zen Sect there will have yet another rival.
Just right, those monks from the Zen Sect in Northern Zhou have become increasingly restless. The presence of those from the Demon Path could help curb the expansion of the Buddhist Sect.
"Daoist Qingyu, are you in the house?"
Outside, the soft voice of Qing Yi suddenly came through.
'Xuanzhen.' The name of the owner of the voice flashed through Qingyu's mind.
Only this profound and inscrutable Uncle-Master Xuanzhen could quietly arrive outside the house without Qingyu's sharp senses noticing.
Qingyu gently clasped his hands together, completely destroyed the small paper and spherical shell containing the intelligence, got up, and opened the door, smiling at the female crown outside, "So it is Daoist Xuanzhen. Please come in."
These past few days, under the pretext of treating Qingyu and Xuanfeng, Xuanzhen visited Wanfa Peak frequently. However, after yesterday, the injuries that Qingyu supposedly had were openly stated to have been treated and healed.
Then, what was this woman here for today? There should be no more excuses for her to contact Qingyu again.
After Xuanzhen entered the room, Qingyu closed the door.
"Daoist Nephew Qingyu," Xuanzhen lightly flicked her Daoist robe and slowly took a seat, "My nephew truly possesses vast divine skills. In just a few days, you've become acquainted with several fellow disciples on Wanfa Peak. I met Daoist Qing Li on my way here; he said he was coming to consult you about some Taoist questions."
Qing Li was the one who had passed intelligence to Qingyu before, a spy from Shadow Pavilion.
'Speaking of which, you might not believe it, but I didn't expect to find myself living in a den of thieves,' Qingyu thought sarcastically upon hearing Xuanzhen mention Qing Li.
Wanfa Peak had been managed by Xuan Guang as an assistant ten years ago. After Xuanfeng became the Peak Master of Wanfa Peak, due to his hands-off management approach, significant gaps arose.
Thus, nearly eighty percent of the spies from Shadow Pavilion had infiltrated Wanfa Peak.
Even though Qing Li did not reveal the circumstances of the other spies when he met Qingyu before, who was Qingyu, after all? Did he need you to tell him whether you would speak or not?
For those vastly inferior in power, Qingyu never worried that they could deceive him.
As Qing Li was giving the intelligence, he probably never imagined that Qingyu had already sifted through everything in his mind in a short time.
Then, Qingyu knew he had indeed moved into a den of thieves. Although these spies only accounted for one-tenth of the members of Wanfa Peak, this tenth could effectively gather all the news of the entire Wanfa Peak.
This was no longer about infiltration turning something into a sieve, but directly punching a hole and causing a complete breakdown.
"Uncle-Master, this visit can't just be for this trivial matter, right?" Qingyu said with a smile as he poured a cup of tea for Xuanzhen.
Ignoring Qingyu's evasion, Xuanzhen just smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "There is something."
"Did you know? The venue for the Debating Conference has changed."
"Oh?" Qingyu sat down and also poured himself a cup of tea.
He wasn't actually too concerned about the Debating Conference; in fact, he could say he was somewhat indifferent.
There would always be those who would brief Qingyu on the insider details of the Debating Conference afterward; he didn't really need to care himself.
As for personally attending the Debating Conference, Qingyu could only say that if he felt like he had lived enough, he might consider it.
Joking aside, the host of this time's Debating Conference was Dragon Tiger Mountain, the very place that Qingyu had conned countless people into, where a Divine Communication Realm and a future pillar had died, and a True Pill Realm was crippled.
It should be noted that Dragon Tiger Mountain was now in an ambiguous relationship with the Six Gates. If the Six Gates informed them about Master Yu's identity...
Tsk tsk, that would truly be akin to delivering himself to death.
"The location will be changed to Ji Province, Taizhen Palace," Xuanzhen continued.
"Ji Province, Taizhen Palace..." Qingyu murmured the location.
Taizhen Palace was once a humble Taoist Temple over a hundred years ago, at that time known as Taizhen Temple. When King Linxuan Ji Baifei renounced the world to follow the path of the Tao, it received court support. Over the years, it developed rapidly. Now, Taizhen Palace had become the most thriving Taoist sacred site in Ji Province.
However, due to the court's wariness towards the Taoist Sect, the cultivation levels of the Taoists in Taizhen Palace were at most at the Divine Origin Realm, with no experts above the True Pill Realm. This move also dispelled the Taoist's worries that the court intended to plant a foothold inside.
Divine Origin Realm martial artists were quite numerous in the Taoist sect.
"Choosing Taizhen Temple as the venue for the Debating Conference, what is Dragon Tiger Mountain thinking?" Qingyu said, puzzled.
It wasn't that the court would be involved. Over the years, Taizhen Palace had been very compliant, with the court providing only protection and showing no signs of interference.
Moreover, with Ji Baifei long dead, Taizhen Palace's relationship with the court had largely faded.
Theoretically, this was indeed an excellent location. Taizhen Palace had very weak connections with the internal factions of the Taoist Sects, and no faction had a geographical advantage.
However, the current situation in Ji Province was far from peaceful.
The place where the Blood Demon Sect was wreaking the most havoc was Ji Province.
