Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

After the two finished washing up, Ji Qing got down to business:

"By the way, Ling'er, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuling took out a jade book from her storage bag and replied:

"Look at this."

Ji Qing glanced at the jade book on the table, picked it up, and frowned slightly.

"This is……?"

Ling Yuling replied, "This is the information on cultivators coming and going over the past six years. I have summarized it concisely and removed irrelevant personnel. Now, those who remain are all suspicious."

As Ling Yuling spoke, she pointed to a name:

"Wang He came from Sangxing Island. I investigated him beforehand. He used to be a disciple of Jiyin Island, and now he is working as a foreign affairs officer on Kuixing Island. Elder Gu approved this."

Ling Yuling pointed her finger at another person:

"Qufu, the rogue cultivator from Tiankui Island [fake], whose true identity is an outer disciple of Jiyin Island, with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level."

Ji Qing listened attentively, her heart filled with turmoil.

With so many cultivators arriving at Kui Xing Island, it seems they are about to take action.

At the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Star Palace.

If the Star Palace really wants to investigate someone, that person's identity, location, and other information will be thoroughly investigated.

That's a bit scary to think about.

Ji Qing put down the jade book, took a small sip of tea, and asked in a low voice:

"So you're the only one who knows about this, right?"

Ling Yuling nodded:

"Yes, I conducted this investigation in secret; even Elder Gu was unaware of it."

Having received Ling Yuling's affirmative answer, Ji Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, that's good."

After saying that, Ji Qing reached up to rub his forehead, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Perhaps I can take this opportunity to kill Feng hope!"

However, Feng hope is a level nine demon.

If we want to kill him, Zhenhai Zhenren alone is probably far from enough.

Therefore, he needs outside help.

Having made up his mind, Ji Qing glanced at Ling Yuling and had a plan in mind.

"Ling'er, do you believe me?"

Ling Yuling blinked and tilted her head, saying:

"What's wrong? Why would you say that, brother?"

Ji Qing stroked Ling Yuling's little head and said gently:

"I have a plan, but I'm not sure if I should talk about it."

"This plan might be a bit shocking, and even you might not believe it, which is why I asked this question."

Seeing Ji Qing's somber expression, Ling Yuling expressed her understanding.

But who is she? She rested her head on Ji Qing's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Brother, just say whatever you want. No matter what you do, Ling'er will believe you."

Hearing this, Ji Qing was touched, and her eyes softened even more:

"Alright, since you've put it that way, then I'll say it."

After speaking, Ji Qing paused for a moment, then spoke in a very low voice:

"The Kui Xing Island we're on... has been targeted by a level nine demon!!!"

What?!

"A level nine demon!!!" Ling Yuling suddenly stood up, her face showing shock.

What does a level nine demon mean? It's comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Whenever this type of monster comes to a human island, the island is destroyed and the people perish.

"Indeed, it is a level nine demon." Ji Qing nodded, his expression turning serious.

"This matter is a bit complicated."

Only I know about this. If I were to tell others, they might think I'm crazy.

But if it were you, they might think about it more carefully.

Upon hearing Ji Qing's words, Ling Yuling immediately understood what he meant.

Ji Qing wanted her to inform the Twin Saints, and then have them send a Nascent Soul cultivator over.

"Brother, I know about this. I'll go tell Dad right away."

Seeing how much Ling Yuling trusted him, Ji Qing's expression faltered slightly.

"Ling'er, don't you want to ask me how I knew?"

Ling Yuling shook her head:

"No need. I know my brother's personality best, so I won't ask."

At this point, Ling Yuling leaned on Ji Qing's shoulder and whispered:

"I believe you anyway."

Ji Qing remained silent for a long time, only holding Ling Yuling even tighter.

..........

In Tianxing City, at this moment, inside a magnificent hall shimmering with starlight, about eight cultivators were seated at a square table.

These cultivators were all Nascent Soul cultivators without exception.

Judging from their loud and boisterous conversation, they seem to be secretly discussing something.

"The great demon Lei Peng was suppressed on Kui Xing Island."

"Therefore, in my opinion, what the young master said is not impossible." An old man stroked his beard and said, clearly very familiar with the situation on Kui Xing Island.

"Hmph, these damned demons are really bold, daring to come to the Inner Star Sea openly. What do they want to do? Do they want to break off relations and start a war with us?"

And this damned Yin, this disgusting flea, I've wanted to deal with him for ages.

"Since this old bastard dares to join forces with the demon race, then I'll wipe him out immediately, so he won't have to disgust my Star Palace again."

After saying this, the man prepared to leave, but was stopped by Elder Jia:

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, please calm down. If you kill Ji Yin, it may start a great war. So please think it over carefully."

Elder Jia was telling the truth; the righteous path and the demonic path have now begun to collude in secret.

If Fellow Daoist Zhong were to kill Ji Yin now, it would likely lead to a joint war between the righteous and demonic paths.

Currently, the two saints are unable to participate in the battle due to issues with their cultivation techniques.

If a real fight breaks out, they will definitely be the ones who suffer the most and gain nothing.

From a distance, Jin Kui, who had been silent all along, saw Zhong Daoyou's furious expression and immediately spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, please sit down. Can't we discuss this calmly? Why must we resort to violence?"

Upon hearing Jin Kui's words, Zhong Daoyou immediately became angry.

"Ugh, you guys..."

Zhong Daoyou abruptly flung his sleeves and sat down angrily.

"Elder, what do you mean?" an old man with white hair asked.

Now that the two saints are in seclusion, he is the only one who can make the decision.

"What do I mean?"

Jin Kui's eyes flickered for a moment, then he replied:

"The young palace master cannot afford any mistakes. Let's send five cultivators this time."

As for that extreme yin.

"Heh, let him run wild for a few days. When I have the time, I'll teach him a lesson he'll remember."

"this……."

The cultivators present pondered Jin Kui's words carefully.

After they felt there was nothing wrong with the matter, they nodded in agreement:

"Very well, if that's the case, then we'll do as the Grand Elder says."

"Um."

Jin Kui nodded slightly in response, then glanced at them before slowly saying:

"Now that we've decided to support Kui Xing Island, which of you fellow cultivators here is willing to go?"

Upon hearing this, Fellow Daoist Zhong, who was initially furious, immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and replied:

"I'll go! I've been wanting to experience the power of the demon race for a long time."
