"Reporting to Daoist Master Linglong, I'm telling the truth. The reason why I've been hiding my strength is to seek peace and quiet. But this time, I discovered some abnormalities, so I had to take the risk to come here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any idea about the situation here. With Martial Nephew Yang and the others guarding this area, I'm very relieved. But this time, Cloudtop Heavenly Palace has come in full force!
I know very well that no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned, so I had to take the risk to come and check it out! "
When Luo Xiu saw this scene, he knew that his next response was related to his future path. Therefore, he faced this scene very seriously.
Even Luo Xiu's predecessor had a deep impression of Daoist Master Linglong. The only thought in his mind was to try his best to appear as calm as possible. He did not want to have a conflict with this group of people, especially with Daoist Master Linglong beside him. As long as he was in his right mind, it was absolutely impossible to have anything to do with this person. This person's strength and temperament were really rare in the entire Green Cloud Great World.
In the hundreds of millions of years of inheritance of the Highest Sense Sect, this woman was able to become the head of a sect. Her terrifying strength was one thing, but the most important thing was that Daoist Master Linglong was extremely decisive. From the old man's memory, Luo Xiu knew that this person's almost flawless mental cultivation was simply terrifying. "Don't be nervous.
"Don't be nervous. When Vice Sect Leader Yang told me about your situation, I was very surprised as well. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I'm relieved. No matter what, you're an old member of the Exalted Sect. For so many years, you've been hiding your cultivation base and enjoying your frivolity. Now that you've taken the initiative to take responsibility, it's truly a blessing for our sect. Now that the Exalted Sect is in a precarious situation, I'm gratified that you've shown such integrity!" Daoist Master Linglong's words were spoken in a matter-of-fact manner, as if it was a matter of course.
Although Luo Xiu was not happy, on the surface, he just responded in a low voice. For a while, it seemed to be a lot more harmonious. Because of Luo Xiu's previous words, these people looked at him with a lot more kindness.
Everyone knew what kind of situation the Highest Sense Sect was in. Given Luo Xiu's current cultivation, even if he hid his cultivation and selfishly protected the safety of his family, as well as the lives of his good-for-nothing children and grandchildren, there was no problem. Luo Xiu's decision to choose between the interests of his family and the sect really made these people feel a lot better.
When Luo Xiu heard this, he secretly wiped away his cold sweat. For the time being, his words had a certain effect. Obviously, his previous actions had some effect. At the very least, the Exquisite Dao Master did not suspect him. Most importantly, the Exquisite Dao Master should have already seen through Luo Xiu's true cultivation and the energy attribute aura in his body. At the same time, she also ruled out the possibility that Luo Xiu was a spy from the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. As for the Highest Sense Sect, she was not the least bit interested in the deeper level of Luo Xiu's identity.
"Dao Master, since you've come personally, let's go to the Heavenly Stream together. After all, the situation there has indeed reached a point where we must immediately think of a solution. Previously, the Old Man suspected that the people from the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace were secretly playing tricks. However, after so long, there was not much information. Therefore, when I learned that there was a Blood Demon Formation in the Heavenly Stream, my first reaction was to destroy it. After all, as long as the Blood Demon Altar exists, the demonic beasts will endlessly attack the formation. It is not a test for me, but it will cause a lot of damage to the sect's disciples!"
When Luo Xiu saw that the situation had eased, he could not help but voice out his thoughts. Although his original intention was to take a bath in the Heavenly Stream, in reality, it was impossible for him to voice out his thoughts. He could only start from this angle. "There's no need to rush.
This Dao Master has already expected this. Previously, when hundreds of Heavenly God-tier powerhouses from the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace disappeared at the same time, this Dao Master had already suspected that they were plotting something. It was only a few days ago that I confirmed that they were colluding with the Fallen Demon Sect upstream. According to the summary of some things, the Fallen Demon Sect has taken a liking to the Star Region we are in. Although they only want to build a branch, in order to avoid internal friction with us, they don't want to kill us all. That's why they used this method. They want to use the method of boiling the frog in warm water to slowly deplete our strength. They want to make them pay a smaller price and get what they want without bloodshed!
Their calculations are pretty good. If the Fallen Demon Sect doesn't lose a few of their Supreme Elders, they won't think that our Taishang Induction Sect is so weak and easy to bully! "
Dao Master Linglong looked around, not bothering to hide the fact that there were people with weaker cultivations present. She explained bluntly, the cold killing intent in her words was not concealed at all.
"The Old Man did not suspect that, and I don't know what the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace is planning. However, rest assured Dao Master, as long as there's a need, you can summon the Old Man at any time. All these years, the Old Man has been slacking off from his busy schedule and has not taken any responsibility. Forget it. Now that the sect is in danger, even if the Old Man has to sacrifice his life, I will not disappoint you, Sect Master!
This time, it was the Old Man's mistake that caused many things to be done too hastily. Now that the news has spread, if it really causes a stir in people's hearts, it will be very disadvantageous for us in the future. Dao Master, do you think we should seal off the news or think of some other way to cover up this matter for the time being? "
Luo Xiu looked at the others. Seeing that no one spoke, he had no choice but to explain himself. His words were very imposing.
"It's good that Elder Wu has such a heart. Although the sect hasn't given you any special resources over the years, it has indeed raised you. Now that the sect is in trouble, Fellow Daoist Wu, you've been able to understand the situation. This is indeed our wish!
Since that's the case, then this Princess won't be polite. This time, we're going deep into the Heavenly River, so we must have someone with us. Vice Sect Master Yang and the others have entered several times before, but because of their cultivation, they didn't notice anything wrong. They've also destroyed a few of the Blood Demon Altars, but every time an altar is destroyed, the Monster Beasts will riot on a large scale. That's why these altars are ignored! "Seeing Luo Xiu's eagerness to try out the Heavenly River, Yang Kai's words were completely different from what he had said before.
At this moment, Dao Master Linglong did not expose Luo Xiu's identity. Instead, she chuckled and repeated what she had said earlier. She did not hide anything in her words and was very straightforward. Her tone was also filled with a trace of unfathomable meaning.
At this time, Dao Master Linglong did not care about Luo Xiu's identity. She only needed to know that Luo Xiu was under her command. At worst, she would wait for him to reveal his true identity and then kill him. Relying on her powerful cultivation, Dao Master Linglong was not worried that Luo Xiu would play any tricks under her nose.
Of course, Luo Xiu did not know that he had been exposed long ago. He was still immersed in his acting and was unable to extricate himself. He was completely unaware that he had become a clown in everyone's eyes. Luo Xiu's clumsy performance could not escape the eyes of the people present. Even if they did not know Luo Xiu's true identity, they knew that Luo Xiu was definitely not a cultivator of the Zenith Induction Sect. After all, cultivators of the Zenith Induction Sect usually behaved very differently and did not match Luo Xiu's current reaction. At this time, Luo Xiu did not know where he had gone wrong. He had always acted according to the memories of the old man surnamed Wu. He did not know that the old man surnamed Wu was actually a spy of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.
Back then, the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace had sent many experts to blow up the planet and detonate it in order to disrupt the arrangements of the Zenith Induction Sect. The old man surnamed Wu, whom Luo Xiu had impersonated, was actually a spy of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace in the Zenith Induction Sect. He was also the one who had spread the news. Therefore, Luo Xiu had been exposed long ago. Of course, it was not because his cultivation was abnormal, but because his identity as Wu Yong had been exposed long ago.
Luo Xiu followed the crowd toward the Skyfall Cascade. Along the way, they did not fly. Instead, they killed all the demonic beasts that came ashore. When everything was stable, Dao Master Linglong led Luo Xiu, Vice Sect Leader Yang, and the others into the Skyfall Cascade.
The moment Luo Xiu entered the region where the Heavenly Cascade was located, the area near the array formation, he felt something different. At that very moment, there was a strange sense of relaxation on his body. The feeling of restraint on his body had disappeared without a trace. On the entire riverbank near the Heavenly Cascade, the feeling on his body was completely different from when he had been killing monsters here.
Because there were protective formations on both sides of the Skyfall Cascade, if they wanted to enter the Skyfall Cascade, they would have to go around the formation boundary. However, this involved a problem. Luo Xiu's identity could not allow them to pass through smoothly. Therefore, when Luo Xiu followed the crowd into the boundary of the formation boundary, he was protected. This was because if his identity was exposed, the powerful spiritual pressure would instantly kill him. After entering the boundary of the formation boundary safely, Luo Xiu could feel his soul trembling. The essence, qi, and spirit in his body fluctuated almost instantly. This was an extremely abnormal situation in the years of cultivation that Luo Xiu had experienced in the past.
Feeling the extremely strange feeling all over his body, Luo Xiu's original sense of complacency returned in an instant. Luo Xiu, who had regained his rationality, broke out in a cold sweat. Now, he simply wanted to slap himself a few times.
As he recalled his performance in front of the strange Divine Ability of the Exquisite Daoist Master, Luo Xiu was actually a little frightened.
It could be said that at the beginning, Luo Xiu's behavior was completely different from his usual behavior. Previously, as soon as he met the Exquisite Daoist Master, his mind was affected by her strange Divine Ability. Under her influence, the Exquisite Daoist Master was able to rub out almost all of Luo Xiu's secrets in such a simple and crude manner, which made Luo Xiu feel terrified.
If it weren't for the fake information that the system had implanted in the depths of Luo Xiu's soul, he would probably have been obliterated by these people.
Even so, the Exquisite Daoist Master had only brought him into the Heavenly Stream with the intention of using his power to destroy those formations. The main reason was to test Luo Xiu's true identity. After all, no matter how heaven-defying Luo Xiu's cultivation aptitude was, it was impossible for him to reach the pinnacle of the Sage Realm in just over 3,000 years.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was filled with lingering fear. When he saw that the Exquisite Daoist Master and the others hadn't discovered his abnormality, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had come to his senses in time. It wasn't too late for him to realize that he had been exposed. Moreover, he wasn't worried that these people would do anything to him in the short term. It was obvious that the Exquisite Daoist Master had other motives. As for what her motives were, Luo Xiu really didn't want to know. If he guessed correctly, things would be very tricky. Of course, there might be some unforeseen circumstances, but more importantly, it depended on whether the plan would go smoothly. If everything went smoothly, the problem of his identity would be easily solved.
Given the current situation, Luo Xiu was only a step away from entering the Heavenly Stream. Moreover, Luo Xiu was confident that with the preparations he had accumulated over the past few years, he would be able to cultivate the Heavenly God Body Tempering Technique in an extremely short period of time. At that time, he would be able to heal the injuries on his soul. With the help of the extremely dense energy of heaven and earth here, Luo Xiu might even be able to directly surpass his current realm and reach the supreme Sage Realm.
Luo Xiu believed that when that time came, even if he wasn't a match for the Exquisite Daoist Master, he would still have a chance to escape. Moreover, Luo Xiu believed that the Supreme Elders of the High Sense Sect wouldn't dare to make a move against him in the Heavenly Stream. Given their current terrifying cultivation bases, if they were to really make a move in this area, the destruction caused would be unbearable for them.
"System, what should I do?
I'm one hundred percent sure that my true identity has been exposed. Instead of letting them fool me like this, it's better to take the initiative and see if I can negotiate with them. After all, you know that I'm really not a spy from the Cloudtop Palace. I presume that as long as I tell them the truth, there shouldn't be a problem … right? "
Even though he had such a judgment in his heart, Luo Xiu thought about it and was still prepared to confess to this group of fellows in front of him. Using someone else's identity was indeed somewhat inappropriate. More importantly, when he realized that there was a problem with his original identity, he didn't dare to let his guard down at all. He was afraid that he would make a mistake and cause some unnecessary trouble.
