A life of clearness

Chapter 222 Essence
"How could the personality of the clone be so different? Such a strong person should not bother to pretend to be another person." Rong Qing thought to himself: "What's more, during the Longevity Banquet, Chu Yuan's attitude in conversation was very respectful to Sword Master Ji Ming."

Rong Qing was suddenly caught in a mess again.

At this moment, she looked at Chongyu. Since the other party had made it clear, she would definitely not be able to escape, so she sighed and said, "Within a month, regardless of whether Consort Ji's whereabouts are found or not, I will return to the Sword Sect to experience the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Thunder Tribulation."

Since she was well prepared, she also thought that the breakthrough should not be delayed any further.

"Okay." Chongyu nodded. He didn't mean to push the time too much. He just wanted Rong Qing to know that when Sword Master Ji Ming came back, she had to go to meet him, whether she was willing or not.

"Don't worry too much about worldly affairs." Chongji said meaningfully before leaving.

The two of them shrunk into an inch and disappeared from Rong Qing's sight in an instant.

"…Mundane affairs?" Rong Qing was standing in the air thousands of miles high. There was no cloud or fog around her, just endless emptiness. "Is this a prejudice against mundane affairs? The Sword Master is in charge of everything in the Sword Sect, which is also mundane affairs in the end? Why don't you let me worry about it when it's my turn?"

Rong Qing didn't understand the meaning of Chongji's words, and was a little indignant at this moment. With a snort of laughter, he flew north towards Jingguo.

……

Jingguo, Yehuzhou, and Baishiguan.

Rong Qing saw the mountains, peaks and clouds one by one.

"It's very difficult to find the whereabouts of Concubine Ji now." Hong Fei watched Yun Nong leave, then walked out from behind the screen and sat down opposite Rong Qing.

"I know. The Tianyin Division cannot be trusted, and the information about Concubine Ji found by the Sword Sect's subordinate forces has lost its timeliness."

"After all, Concubine Ji has been in hiding for such a long time." Hong Fei hurriedly comforted Rong Qing, "Senior Sister, don't worry. If we continue to investigate, we will definitely get results."

"She must have helpers." Rong Qing looked at the pile of jade slips on the table in front of her. After mobilizing most of the intelligence forces, although the time was short, she did find a lot of clues.

The time can be traced back to the time when the Ji Dynasty just collapsed.

To find out the news about Concubine Ji, we must have clues. And this key clue is the characteristics of the Hades lineage's skills.

Concubine Ji is the King of Hell, but the identities and number of the ghosts under her are not very clear.

There are turmoil almost all the time in the secular world, small ones like bandits looting and killing a whole village; big ones like wars between countries, hundreds of millions of people fighting. The North is so huge, and the population base is also frighteningly large.

Those little ghosts are mixed in the secular world and stir up unrest. How can the cultivation world control it? Although the Tianyin Division is watching over the secular world to prevent major unrest, it is ultimately a force in the cultivation world, and cultivation is the fundamental purpose. Except for wars, they will intervene to mediate, and small unrest is left to the country to deal with itself, let alone carefully investigating the reasons.

This is unrealistic. Because mortals reproduce too quickly and have short life spans, as long as mortals don't commit suicide, monks don't bother to worry about it.

It is now an arduous task for the forces in the cultivation world to re-investigate these disturbances.

"I also suspect that this helper is Tianyinsi." Rong Qing whispered: "There is no concrete evidence, just intuition."

"The Tianyin Division sent the most jade slips, but it's not unreasonable for Senior Sister to suspect the Tianyin Division. Putting aside the relationship between the Ji Dynasty and the Tianyin Division, the fact that the Tianyin Division has not discovered anything in the past thousand years is very suspicious."

"Hmph, last time I asked this question, Mingmo was just brushing me off." Rong Qing recalled the conversation she had with the chief minister Mingmo, "What do you mean by drifting apart? I think it's mutually beneficial." Rong Qing didn't know what the Tianyinsi technique was like, so how could she believe everything Mingmo said? Even if it wasn't as evil as the Hades technique, if the Tianyinsi technique was derived from the Hades technique, then there must be something in common.

"If we do this, I'm afraid we'll alert the enemy. I originally thought of bypassing the Tianyin Division, but now it's better to continue cooperating with the Tianyin Division, stabilize the other party, but keep some tricks in the information exchange."

"Don't worry about the Tianyin Division." Rong Qing looked at Hong Fei: "If we want to alert the enemy, we would have done it long ago. When I passed by Cangliuzhou on my way back this time, the Sword Master had already made it clear to the current and next inspectors of Cangliuzhou, asking them to cooperate with the Sword Sect in searching for Concubine Ji."

"This..." Hong Fei's eyes lit up, "Could it be...?"

"The whereabouts of Concubine Ji will be found by the people in Cangliuzhou." Rong Qing smiled and said, "Since the Sword Master specifically mentioned it, it means it is almost certain. Have those disciples bypass the Tianyin Division and contact Huazhu, the next inspector of Cangliuzhou directly."

Rong Qing thought of the stone box in the storage ring and continued, "She is willing to cooperate."

"Okay. Without further ado, I'll arrange it right away." Hong Fei stood up and was about to leave when Rong Qing stopped him.

I noticed that Rong Qing showed a rare and extremely hesitant expression.

After struggling for a moment, she finally asked, "I remember you once met Sword Master Ji Ming. Do you think he is similar to Daozi?"

"Yes, we have met from afar several times." Hong Fei was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Rong Qing suddenly asked such a strange question, and her eyes were full of expectation. "But with my identity, I am not qualified to talk to the Sword Master."

Although she was the Taoist partner of the leader of the Sword Sect, and could be considered a high-ranking figure in the Sword Sect, she was not yet considered a core member. The reason why she was able to accompany Rong Qing for the past few hundred years was largely because she was also a female cultivator.

Hong Fei was several hundred years younger than Hua Zhu. At that time, the reputation of the Sword Master Ji Ming was already established, and there was no need for him to go out of the sect to kill people frequently. As long as the Sword Sect was peaceful and stable and did not offend the Sword Master, the entire cultivation world would be at peace.

"The one that left the deepest impression on me was the time when Sword Master Ji Ming brought Sword Masters Zhong Yu and Zhong Ji, who were still teenagers at the time, into the mountain gate."

The inheritance of the Sword Master and Daozi is a big deal in the Sword Sect.

The pure-hearted sword cultivators all came out. Hong Feiyin followed his Taoist partner, so he was in a relatively forward position.

It goes without saying that the Sword Master Ji Ming was magnificent. Her ankle-length snow-white hair and clear golden eyes did not give off any evil aura, but rather she looked like a god descending to the earth. The always pure white, desolate and vast Arctic snow-capped mountains now looked like the mundane world.

"Xuan Gu and the others stick to their hearts and don't get emotional easily. But as soon as Sword Master Ji Ming appears, we can see who is truly ruthless. Although Sword Master Ji Ming has a violent temperament, he doesn't give me the feeling of a cultivator, but more like the way of heaven walking on the earth."

"Although Sword Masters Chongyu and Chongji also practice the ruthless sword art, they look cold but they are not that ruthless."

"As for Daozi...Since you suddenly asked me this, I also feel that Daozi is a little similar to Sword Master Ji Ming."

"Similar in essence?" Rong Qing asked.

Hong Fei didn't answer, but nodded.

As expected... Rong Qing sighed inwardly. Not only Hong Fei felt this way, Rong Qing herself also thought so.

The Master of the Ji Ming Sword and Chu Yuan have something in common in essence.
