Kaiyang City.

As a major city in Ji Province, this city should have been bustling with merchants and visitors.

However, the recent production of murderous maniacs in Ji Province left even the boldest merchants deterred from doing business during such times.

Thus, Qing Yu did not witness the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd that was rumored.

Nevertheless, the scurrying crowd nearby still gave Qing Yu a glimpse of the hustle and bustle.

"The new Earth List has been posted at the notice board, hurry and look..."

"The Earth List has been updated, a rare event indeed..."

"Let's go together..."

Various folks from the worldly society were rushing about, among them, Taoists made up the majority. After all, with the Debating Conference about to begin, Kaiyang City was not lacking Taoists.

"The Earth List has been updated?" Qing Yu also showed some interest.

The Earth List, calculated by the people of Fate Altar, was then sent to various forces for announcement. In Daqian, it was mostly the people from Six Gates who made the announcement.

If Qing Yu had been in Northern Zhou, he would have known the details of the list immediately; however, these days he had been wandering in Daqian, seldom contacting Shadow Pavilion, thus he was naturally unable to know the changes in the Earth List beforehand.

Without disturbing anyone, his figure transitioned from solid to ethereal, and he disappeared from the crowd silently, appearing atop a high building outside the Six Gates division office.

With his superior eyesight, despite the distance, he could still see the content of the Earth List.

Earth List:

First: Zen Monk Wunian,

Second: Juelu Sword Madman,

Third: Divine Captor Wu Que Ning Wuming,

...,

Seventh: Supreme Daoist,

Eighth: Hidden Mirror Man,

Ninth: Blood Shadow,

Tenth: Demon Path Qing Yu.

"People of the Earth List have changed greatly, seventh to tenth places are all new faces!" someone exclaimed below.

"Blood Shadow is a recent follower of the Blood Demon Sect, mysterious and elusive. Only a blood shadow is seen, with no clue what Demon Technique of the Blood Demon Sect he employs. Three months ago, Six Gates, together with forces from Qiufeng Pavilion of Ji Province, Cao Gang subruling, and Yao Mountain Sword Sect, jointly encircled the Demonic People of the Blood Demon Sect. Resultingly, all six True Pill Realm experts who went for the raid tragically died at the hands of a blood shadow, hence he was named Blood Shadow," someone briefly explained.

Descriptions were made available on the Earth List for new entrants, so people were not afraid of not recognizing these newcomers.

The reputation of Supreme Daoist was also known by all; after all, he had dominated the top of the People's List for several years. Even if his breakthrough was not previously known, people had long anticipated it.

However, what many did not expect was that the Supreme Daoist would appear on the Earth List as the seventh.

"Defeating Cloud Sea Wanderer, killing Ghost Eye Mad Saber Lian Jin, standing unmovable to defeat Zhang Yuanming of Dragon Tiger Mountain... hiss—terrifying!"

A series of accomplishments made many gasp in shock.

"Supreme Daoist, truly the sole successor of the Dao Master..."

"Terrifying indeed! Terrifying indeed!"

Everyone gasped in unison.

Below the Supreme Daoist was the Hidden Mirror Man, a name never heard before, catching everyone somewhat off guard. However, his achievements were indeed eye-catching.

The achievements of the Hidden Mirror Man were simple, just a few:

In Linchuan Prefecture, he killed one of the Four Great Divine Capturers of Six Gates, Chasing Wind Divine Constable Lu Qifeng.

Outside Yu Jian Manor, he defeated Xuan Yun of Zhenwu Sect. A few days later, he defeated Xiao Qiye from Yu Jian Manor in a small town not far from the Manor.

Then came the shocking news. He had escaped with his life from under the hand of Xiao Qianxiu, the Manor Master of Yu Jian Manor, a warrior in the Divinity Realm.

This was undoubtedly admirable.

Moreover, yesterday, leading the Demonic People, he obliterated Vajra Temple, and all the True Pill monks of the temple perished by his hand.

It is possible that he possesses a treasure that conceals the Heavenly Mechanism, rendering him incalculable, and evaluations of his strength can only be made based on news from various places.

Compared to others, information on the Hidden Mirror Man might be brief, but each item was explosively significant news.

Lu Qifeng of Six Gates, Xiao Qiye of Yu Jian Manor, and others, each a renowned master. Managing to escape with his life from Xiao Qianxiu, an expert in the Divinity Realm, was truly shocking.

Based on this alone, even if the Hidden Mirror Man were ranked above the Supreme Daoist, nobody would find it surprising.

The next person, ranked tenth, was the Demon Path Qing Yu, about whom everyone also felt a profound sense of mystery.

With the assistance of the Heavenly Giant Statue established by the Northern Zhou Court, he crushed the rebels in a single move, and outside Pushan Temple, he lured Dou Xinhui, tricking him into Deviation...

Such deeds were also shocking.

These were two underestimated masters.

Hidden Mirror Man and Demon Path Qing Yu, in the eyes of these onlookers, were both underestimated masters.

Hidden Mirror Man possessed a Heavenly Mechanism treasure, covering all traces of heavenly secrets, making it difficult for anyone to thoroughly evaluate him. Demon Path Qing Yu, the current Director of the Qintian Bureau of Northern Zhou, had an outstanding skill in the Heavenly Mechanism, and it also took a great deal of effort for the people from Fate Altar to find out these achievements.

"The obliteration of Vajra Temple has been leaked; it seems that among the three who attacked Vajra Temple yesterday, someone has likely met a grim fate," Qing Yu thought, looking at the Earth Ranking.

He wasn't surprised that some details had been discovered. After all, these battles had many spectators present.

However, the fact that Vajra Temple was destroyed yesterday and revealed today certainly meant someone had been captured.

"Among Gongshan Xiao, Duan Yuanming, and Jue Si, the most likely is Gongshan Xiao..."

Being the most arrogant of the trio, the chances of Gongshan Xiao getting caught were as high as eighty percent. Moreover, Purgatory Peak lusted for the legacy of Vajra Temple the most, and Gongshan Xiao likely lingered too long and was caught by Ban Xiang who arrived later.

These muscular barbarians might not realize how formidable Xinyuan Abbot of Great Zen Temple is. Had they lingered even a bit longer, they'd almost certainly have been captured.

And with Xinyuan watching, it wouldn't matter who came.

As for the news about Qing Yu himself, it was actually intentional.

Xinyuan and others are not unintelligent computers; they wouldn't simply overlook him because they can't calculate his involvement. The appearance of one Hidden Mirror Man already astounded them, a second would raise doubts.

If Qing Yu and Hidden Mirror Man were both shown as non-existent, Xinyuan and others would probably make a guess.

Suppose, Qing Yu and Hidden Mirror Man were the same person...

Thus, Qing Yu, as the White-haired Taoist, used the Nihility Magic Mirror to confuse the most fundamental point, and then used his own skill in the Heavenly Mechanism to cover up most of the information.

Thus, a persona of a Daoist adept in the Heavenly Mechanism has officially been formed.

"Another point, the ability of Fate Altar to gather various intelligence so swiftly demonstrates an intelligence network far beyond that of Shadow Pavilion and Yin Demon Sect," Qing Yu subconsciously tapped his forefinger on the side of his leg.

Fate Altar has always been perceived as superior in divination, known to be aware of worldly affairs, but it inadvertently made people overlook their capability in gathering intelligence.
