As early as when the Cangsheng Sect was passing through Shu Province, Lin Lingshan had already been confirmed as one of the Nine Heavens. Now it's pretty much confirmed which one he is.
'Youtian Shadow King, who is also Prince Shunping. Juntian Sword God Nangong Duanjian, Bian Tian Elder Shiming, Flame Sky Lin Lingshan, among the Nine Heavens, four have truly revealed their identities. And······'
Qing Yu's gaze shifted towards Cangtian.
After several months, Cangtian's injuries had yet to heal, and Qing Yu could see his weakness.
Qing Yu also had some guesses about his identity.
The remaining Zhutian, Yang Tian, Hao Tian, one of Yang Tian and Hao Tian should be the eight-foot giant who appeared on the Shu Province battlefield that day. However, Qing Yu had reviewed the worldly society's well-known Divinity Realm experts, but never found anyone who fit, so perhaps the form of the eight-foot giant was a disguise.
The identities of these three individuals had not yet been discovered, not even a clue.
"Alright, I will make a move." At this moment, Juntian responded.
Although Fantian of Nalanda Temple was not on the Heavenly List due to his Alien Clan identity, some intelligence could show his extraordinary strength. Juntian had always been quite interested in those with strength.
"I do think, however, that Juntian should not make a move. Or rather, someone won't allow Juntian to make a move," Qing Yu suddenly interjected.
"Oh? Why do you say so?" Elder Shiming asked.
"Perhaps everyone has forgotten that in the Western Regions back then, the Cangsheng Sect and Nalanda Temple jointly tricked the Golden Wolf Han Court. There is likely an alliance between them. Now that the Peacock Remnants are invading Shu Province, it might not be without Mu Cangsheng's secret machinations. Do you think Mu Cangsheng will allow Juntian to make a move?"
This was obviously impossible.
If Mu Cangsheng was indeed the mastermind behind inciting the Peacock Remnants to invade, he certainly wouldn't let Juntian—Sword God, go over and swipe away the invading enemies with a few cuts.
"Moreover, it's very possible that your rebellious disciple, Bian Tian, has cooperated with Daqian too," Qing Yu continued.
This suspicion was indeed well-founded. Although Wen Xisheng had helped Yintianxia and others find the entrance to the Heavenly Demon Realm back then, he was not Yintianxia's subordinate.
After aiding Yintianxia and others in locating the portal to the Heavenly Demon Realm, Wen Xisheng left quietly, with his whereabouts unknown. With his abilities, if he wanted to hide, no one could truly find him.
Otherwise, Elder Shiming would have captured him decades ago.
However, Qing Yu knew of his resentment towards Elder Shiming, so as long as Elder Shiming remained alive, Wen Xisheng would always reappear. And sure enough, he had appeared again to disrupt Elder Shiming's plans.
"Indeed, you must be cautious of Daqian, but we also can't let the Peacock Remnants attack Shu Province unchecked."
Elder Shiming said, "We shall move first to repel the Peacock Remnants. Juntian will hold ground, keeping a watch on Mu Cangsheng and Yama. If Fantian makes a move, then don't worry about anything else—kill Fantian first."
"Sure," Juntian nodded.
"Everyone, what do you think?" Elder Shiming asked the others again.
"I have no objections, but I've already made a move twice before. This time, let's see how capable the others are," Qing Yu said with a light smile.
"Alright," Elder Shiming nodded, "but you should also be prepared. Daqian might not let you remain idle."
Speaking of Daqian, everyone turned serious, losing their previous leisure.
Compared to Nalanda Temple, Daqian was the biggest enemy. With the Peacock Remnants' invasion, the Nine Heavens could still have a meeting to discuss how to repel them. But if Daqian made a move, no one would have the leisure to hold a meeting.
"Naturally." said Qing Yu.
"Then everyone, let's disperse for now."
Qing Yu's figure disappeared within the Heavenly Vault, and his Primordial Spirit Projection returned to his body.
When he regained his senses, the Ten Directions Destruction fell from above, and the flying Trigram Formations around began to disperse.
"It seems the interception was successful; Elder Shiming couldn't find Wen Xisheng's trail." Qing Yu laughed lightly while holding the Ten Directions Destruction.
He certainly didn't know Wen Xisheng, but that didn't stop him from causing trouble for Elder Shiming. At times, he would also use the Ten Directions Destruction to initiate the Great Wisdom Space, disrupting Elder Shiming's Heavenly Mechanism Sensing.
This time, it was also Qing Yu's interception of Elder Shiming's divinations that allowed Wen Xisheng to escape.
It could be said that Qing Yu had contributed to Elder Shiming's recent misfortunes. The World's Number One Master of Heavenly Mechanism would perform Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill all day and once his specialized skill started failing him, his habitual thinking would lead to continuous mistakes.
'Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill is not omnipotent.'
Watching Elder Shiming's predicament today, Qing Yu couldn't help but remind himself.
If he got as overly reliant on divination as Elder Shiming, Elder Shiming's situation today could become his situation tomorrow.
'But thinking about Elder Shiming's livid expression today was indeed quite delightful,' Qing Yu thought again.

"Divine Captors Master, His Majesty has ordered you to set up covert surveillance near the Zhenwu Seven Peaks, keeping an eye on Sect Leader Qing Yu." Leng Kuangtu reiterated the Emperor Qian's order.
"Really······" Ning Wuming exhaled softly, "the day has finally come to cross swords with Qing Yu."
"Brother Ning······" Qin Xihai looked at Ning Wuming with great concern.
"Divine Captors Master, just observe Qing Yu. Do not, under any circumstances, act rashly!" Leng Kuangtu, abandoning his usual composure, urgently advised.
"Be at ease; I will not act rashly."
Ning Wuming smiled faintly, "The undercover agents have gathered all the powerful Divinity Realm experts from the Central Plains to list the possible members of the Nine Heavens, and Qing Yu is among them. This time, His Majesty wants me to go and keep an eye on Qing Yu to confirm whether he is one of the Nine Heavens."
Only a Divinity Realm expert can keep an eye on another Divinity Realm expert. Although it was said to set up covert surveillance, only Ning Wuming, as Divine Captors, could personally undertake this task.
"But if Qing Yu is one of the Nine Heavens······" Qin Xihai worried, "it would be too dangerous. Even my foster father was injured by the hands of a Nine Heavens, and he's still recovering."
In fact, not just Divine Captors; even Duke Shenwu Luo Feng was currently seriously injured. Ning Wuming knew the terror of the Nine Heavens, but it did not deter his decision.
"In fact, I honestly hope Qing Yu is one of the Nine Heavens, for this allows the court to hunt him down with full force, or at the very least, ensure the downfall of the Zhenwu Sect," said Ning Wuming.
This mission to spy on the Zhenwu Seven Peaks was dangerous but aligned well with Ning Wuming's own intentions. Once Qing Yu made a move against Ning Wuming, thus exposing his identity, he would face the full force of Daqian's pursuit.
For Daqian, any of the Nine Heavens killed is a victory—they show no leniency. Perhaps Qing Yu might escape, but the Zhenwu Sect would not.
