Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Yin You was shocked when he first heard Zhan Qing's words, but when he thought about the reason carefully, he couldn't help but frowned:

"Qingyou is now a member of Xuelingxu. Can the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan give her the position of Sword Hunter?"

Having said that, he was thinking deeper in his heart.

Junior Sister Qingyou was brought to Xuelingxu by her master to live when she was very young. It can be said that she grew up in Xuelingxu and is a pure person of Xuelingxu.

Although they don't know how the master brought her back to Xuelingxu, and how she left the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan, but facing such a completely unfamiliar and sensitive member of the clan, would the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan really be confident in handing over the position of Sword Hunter, the highest inheritance of the family, to her?

Zhan Qing just sighed when he heard this: "Let me tell you about Xue Qingyou's parents first."

"More than a decade ago, Xue Wuya, the fourth son of the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan leader, who was the most talented at the time and had a good chance of obtaining the position of Sword Hunter, died mysteriously while out training with his wife. The thirteen Hidden Clan members all sighed over the loss of a genius."

Zhan Qing talked about this story that he had heard countless times from the elders in the clan, and he still felt a little regretful: "And Xue Qingyou is the only bloodline they have left."

"Originally, the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan had been gradually disappointed over the years, but we didn't expect Xue Qingyou to suddenly jump out. After testing her bloodline in front of the clan leader and the elders, it turned out that she was indeed the direct descendant of the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan."

"Just when Xue Qingyou went to the ancestral temple to worship her ancestors, the ancestral sword that had been silent for a hundred years suddenly began to tremble, and then the sword light shot up into the sky. The extremely strong sword energy could be clearly sensed even from a thousand miles away."

"With such a rare phenomenon in the world, plus her status as a direct descendant, and the support of her parents' former confidants, do you think Xue Qingyou is still not qualified to be a sword hunter?"

Zhan Qing asked back.

Yin You didn't say anything.

"As for her identity as a monk from Xuelingxu, no one else knows it except me."

Yin You looked at Zhan Qing: "Then how did you know that?"

Zhan Qing smiled and said, "Of course Xue Qingyou told me that herself."

Before Yin You could continue to ask questions, she said directly: "Because her mother is my mother's biological sister. In terms of blood relationship, I am her cousin."

"She told me everything about you and Xuelingxu at the Sword Hunting Festival."

At this point, Zhan Qing smiled: "She told me all this just to let me know she's safe when I see you, to tell you she's safe there, so you can focus on your work, and she'll come back to find you when the time comes."

"I had originally planned to leave the family and travel after this coming-of-age ceremony, firstly to gain knowledge and hone my strength, and secondly to find your whereabouts and help Xue Qingyou pass on the message."

"I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."

Zhan Qing looked at the dark blue water ball hanging in his hand, feeling a bit amused:

"The message was delivered, but the coming-of-age ceremony failed."

Chapter 131: The Demon's Methods

"Feel sorry……"

Yin You said slowly.

"Small problem,"

Zhan Qing said in a relaxed manner: "I failed this time. I will just find another giant beast to hunt next time."

She said with a proud smile on her face: "Hunting giant beasts is my specialty."

Noticing Yin You's slightly strange look at the dark blue water ball in her hand, Zhan Qing instantly understood what he meant and said with some embarrassment:

"This was just an accident! Who knew that this half-moon shark suddenly went crazy and didn't even walk into the trap I set."

When she mentioned the Half Moon Shark going crazy, Yin You became serious and thought he should ask a professional like Zhan Qing:

"Fellow Daoist Zhan Qing, can you tell why the Half Moon Giant Shark suddenly went crazy just now?"

Zhan Qing thought about it seriously and shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, I have been observing this half-moon shark for a whole month, and I didn't see any signs of it going crazy before."

"After the earthquake at Wanghai Cliff just now, the half-moon shark suddenly went crazy and rushed over here recklessly."

Zhan Qing frowned slightly: "I haven't asked you what you were doing here just now?"

"And... that black tortoise is yours too, right?"

She looked towards the water-dirty god who was still holding down her elder.

After hearing her say this, Yin You also remembered this matter, so he waved his arm and took the Shui Zang God back into his body.

Yin You coughed and said, "I came to Wanghai Cliff just to retrieve something that my master had placed here. Such a strange phenomenon had never happened to the previous items, so it should have nothing to do with me."

"That elder wouldn't let me come over, so I had to take action. I'm really sorry."

Maybe because of Xue Qingyou, Zhan Qing believed Yin You's words and did not ask any further questions.

On the other side, without the suppression of the Water God, the middle-aged cultivator from the Zhanlang Hidden Clan finally stood up. When he saw Zhan Qing and Yin You standing on the Wanghai Cliff, he hurried over.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Soon, the middle-aged cultivator came to Zhan Qing's side and looked at Yin You with unfriendly eyes.

Other members of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan also ran over, stood behind the middle-aged cultivator, and looked at Yin You with the same hatred as him.

"Elder Tu, don't be so nervous. Fellow Daoist Yin You is not a bad person."

Zhan Qing briefly explained what had just happened, which eased the tense atmosphere a little.

Elder Tu was still worried, and secretly advised Zhan Qing through telepathy:

"Young Master, you must not listen to this man's one-sided words. What if the earthquake was really caused by him, just to put on a show in front of you to let your guard down?"

Elder Tu was not aware that Zhan Qing knew about Yin You from Xue Qingyou and that was why she was so confident in him. He was also worried that she had let down her guard because of Yin You's heroic rescue.

Since this matter concerns Xue Qingyou, Zhan Qing naturally would not tell Elder Tu, and could only helplessly reply via telepathic transmission:

"Elder Tu, don't worry. This person will never do anything to harm us. Don't you know my temper?"

Elder Tu fell silent upon hearing this.

Zhan Qing is certainly not a simple person, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat other competitors and take the position of the young master of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan.

It was precisely because he saw Zhan Qing's huge potential in the future that Elder Tu took the initiative to join him and assist her in ascending the position of patriarch.

Elder Tu was very convinced by Zhan Qing's words.

Since she emphasized that Yin You would never do anything to harm them, no matter how much Elder Tu disliked Yin You, he had to agree with her point of view.

"Yes, young master." Elder Tu replied via telepathic transmission.

Then the middle-aged monk straightened his appearance, bowed his hands to Yin You seriously, bowed his head and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Yin You, I had a bad attitude just now."

Yin You had no opinion on Elder Tu. After all, the other party was also trying to ensure that his young master's hunting was not affected. Although he was the first to take action, he also suffered.

So Yin You waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I was just impulsive and didn't explain the reason to the elder."

His words gave face to Elder Tu, and his expression became much better.

At this moment, Kong Miaoyin came to Yin You's side.

"This is my friend, Kong Miaoyin."

Seeing Zhan Qing's puzzled look, Yin You introduced it.

During the greetings, Yin You secretly sent a message to Kong Miaoyin:

"How is it, have you found the cause of the earthquake just now?"

It turned out that Kong Miaoyin was commissioned by Yin You to find out the cause of the earthquake, so it took her so long to come here.

Kong Miaoyin greeted Zhan Qing calmly and replied secretly:

"No, but this earthquake must have been planned in advance by someone. Once you take out the remaining map of the Sealed Spirit, it will cause an earthquake."

"You have seen the effect. It will drive the beast mad and destroy everything it sees without hesitation."

After hearing Kong Miaoyin's words, Yin You instantly thought of a force: "Demons?"

"It can only be them. Apart from them, who else knows the location of the Soul Sealing Fragment Map?"

But Yin You still had many doubts in his mind: "Why didn't the demon take away the fragments of the Soul Sealing Map, but set up this kind of trap here?"

"How can they be sure that when I took away the fragment of the Soul Sealing Map, there would be an eighth-level beast like the Half-Moon Shark around? And it seems that there should be many restrictions on the beast going crazy caused by the earthquake. There are many low-level beasts near Wanghai Cliff, but only one Half-Moon Shark went crazy?"

"Is it that only beasts that have reached a certain level will be affected by earthquakes? Or is it because there is something wrong with this half-moon giant shark?"

"Putting all this aside, with you and me both at the Ninth Realm here, even if more ferocious beasts go crazy, they will not be able to escape the fate of being suppressed and won't be able to cause any trouble."

"After such a long period of fighting, both covertly and overtly, don't the demons know our strengths? Why did they leave the remaining map of the Sealing Spirit and set up this kind of trap that poses no threat to you or me?"

"What is their purpose?"

Soon, a terrible guess arose in Yin You and Kong Miaoyin's minds.

"Unless their target is not us at all!"

The two looked at each other and instantly realized that the other's guess coincided with their own.

A chill crept up his spine, and Yin You quickly looked at Zhan Qing:

"Fellow Daoist Zhan Qing, how did you come to Xieyue Island?"

Zhan Qing looked puzzled, and was obviously confused by the question Yin You suddenly asked, but she still said:

"We followed the Half Moon Shark all the way to Slanted Moon Island."

"Where was the half-moon shark found?" Yin You asked anxiously.

"where……"

Zhan Qing saw Yin You's anxiety and nervousness. She thought about it carefully before saying:

"More than a month ago, someone sent me a message saying that an extremely rare giant half-moon shark was found near Qinghui Island. At that time, I was worried about where to hunt a giant marine beast as my coming-of-age ceremony. After hearing this information, I immediately took Elder Tu and the others to Qinghui Island. Sure enough, we found traces of the giant half-moon shark there and followed it all the way here."

After hearing that someone had told Zhan Qing about the information about the Half Moon Giant Shark, Yin You felt a stronger sense of foreboding:

"Who? Who told you the information about the Half Moon Shark?"

In a hurry, Yin You didn't even call him "fellow Taoist".

Zhan Qing did not pay attention to such trivial matters and replied:

"It's Brother Bingzhen from the Guimingyin Clan."

She noticed that something was wrong with Yin You and asked, "Yin You, why do you look so bad? Did something happen?"

"Return to the Mingyin Clan, Bingzhen..."

Yin You repeated the words several times in a low voice and memorized them firmly.

After hearing Zhan Qing's next words, Yin You shook his head: "I'm fine, you guys should leave quickly and leave Xieyue Island."

"What happened?"

Zhan Qing was completely confused. She only saw Yin You's expression suddenly change. Then he asked her a few inexplicable questions and told her to leave Xieyue Island quickly.

If Zhan Qing had not learned some information about Yin You from Xue Qingyou, he would have really doubted the mental state of the young man in front of him.

"Don't ask, just leave here!" Yin You replied hurriedly.

At this time, he had released his divine sense to cover the entire Xieyue Island, observing the figures of demons that might be hiding there.

"Okay, let's go first."

Out of trust in Xue Qingyou, Zhan Qing listened to Yin You's words and turned away with the people of Zhanlangyin clan.

She had originally come to Xieyue Island to follow the giant Half-Moon Shark. Now that she had obtained the giant Half-Moon Shark, she had nothing else to do on Xieyue Island, so she left without any delay.

The Zhanlang Hidden Clan did not go to the teleportation platform in Xieyue Island City, but directly boarded a high-grade boat-shaped spiritual weapon and disappeared into the vast ocean.

"Fellow Daoist Zhan Qing, be careful of Bing Zhen!" Yin You looked at the backs of Zhan Qing and his group as they left on the boat, and said the last words through telepathic communication.

After scanning Xieyue Island several times with his divine sense, Yin You did not find any trace of monsters except for a few places where there were large formations to block divine sense.

He looked at Kong Miaoyin, but saw that the other party shook his head, obviously he also got nothing.

"Is the demon's target Zhan Qing?" Kong Miaoyin asked.

Yin You shook his head slowly: "Probably not. If the demon wanted to take action in more than a month, he would have done so long ago. He would not have kept her until now, and..."

Yin You pointed to his silver-gray right eye and said, "Don't forget that my right eye can identify the true form of demons. I have carefully examined the people of the Zhanlang Hidden Clan just now, and none of them has the aura of a demon."

Kong Miaoyin was also a little distressed when he heard this:

"When we first came to Xieyue Island, we didn't detect any demonic presence, but they were able to set up traps near the Remains of the Sealed Spirit Map. How did they do that?"
