The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 488
Chapter 488 A Method Of Deciphering
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Li Qing’s heart, Yin Tianhong smiled faintly, “Your secret is not that important to me. It’s not a big deal if I see it.”
“What a big tone!” Li Qing thought to himself and then asked, “I feel very curious. How did you know that I would come to Flowing Wave Island in advance?”
“The Ten Thousand Devil Sect’s influence is all over the world. Of course, there is also a branch altar in the East China Sea. Ever since you appeared on Sea God Island, we have discovered your whereabouts.”
“Sea God Island?” Li Qing pondered for a moment before his mind flashed, “Could it be Demon Saint You Luo? Is he a member of your Myriad Demon Sect?”
“You reacted quite quickly. You guessed right at once. That’s right, Devil Saint You Luo is indeed the person in charge of our Myriad Devil Sect’s East Sea Branch Altar!” Yin Tianhong nodded.
“I see! No wonder Devil Saint You Luo acted so strangely at that time.” Only then did Li Qing understand, “But Demon Saint You Luo had already separated from me on Sea God Island. How did you know that I was coming to Flowing Wave Island to save someone?”
“We have a lot of scouts in the East China Sea, and we have spies in many sects. Isn’t it easy to know your movements?”
“Undercover?” Li Qing narrowed his eyes. He knew that those people were the only ones who were coming to Flowing Wave Island. It seemed like the Deepblue Water Manor had leaked the news.
Among those people, who was the undercover agent?
“Why did you come to see me?” Li Qing asked.
Yin Tianhong probably didn’t come with malice. Since the Myriad Demon Sect already knew of Li Qing’s whereabouts, if they wanted to harm him, they should have laid a net to capture him.
In front of the Ten Thousand Devil Sect’s enormous power, Li Qing would definitely be unable to fly.
However, they were sitting in front of him calmly. There should be something they wanted to talk to him about.
“Nothing much. I just want to see what kind of person you are.” Yin Tianhong said unhurriedly.
“I can tell that you guys don’t have any ill intentions. Back on Sea God Island, Demon Saint You Luo helped me once.” Li Qing stared at the middle-aged man. “This makes me very puzzled. Since you know my identity, why don’t you capture me? I don’t believe that your Myriad Demon Sect will let me off with great kindness. There must be a special reason for that.”
“If I capture you and seize the treasures on you, it would be akin to killing a chicken and taking an egg. To our Myriad Demon Sect, you actually have more important value.”
“What value?”
“Demon Ancestor’s inheritance!”
Li Qing’s expression changed, “How did you know?”
“Isn’t that purple broadsword in your hand a demonic saber? Do you really think I can’t guess?” Yin Tianhong chuckled.
“So you are not confident that you can obtain the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance from me, so you plan to recruit me and let me join the Demon Sect?”
“That’s right!” Yin Tianhong nodded. “The Demon Ancestor’s inheritance has disappeared for such a long time. It took me so long to reappear in this world. I don’t want to take any risks. It’s the best choice for you to join the Demon Sect willingly.”
“But I have no intention of joining the Devil Sect right now.” Li Qing shook his head.
“I know. You’ve already rejected it once.” Yin Tianhong didn’t seem to be angry at all. “Not joining now doesn’t mean that it will be the same in the future. Fate is always so mysterious. From the moment you took the magic saber in your hand, your fate has been entangled with Diabolism forever.”
“Who can be sure about fate? I’d better do what I’m doing right now.” Li Qing was unmoved.
“I heard that you have a beloved woman who is now the Holy Daughter of the White Lotus Sect?” Yin Tianhong suddenly said.
“That’s right, Yin Qianyu told me about this.”
“If I can save your beloved woman, are you willing to join the Myriad Demon Sect?”
Li Qing’s body trembled, “Really?”
“Looks like this woman is really important to you.” Yin Tianhong was thoughtful.
“If you can really help me save my beloved woman, I am willing to join the Devil Sect!” Li Qing said without hesitation.
As long as he could save Liu Ke’er, what would it be like to join the Devil Sect?
Although joining the Devil Sect was not a good thing, it was a path of no return, but it did not seem like a bad thing. It was equivalent to finding a big backer. As long as he didn’t learn the cruel methods of the Demon Gate, he would still be able to live a carefree life.
Yin Tianhong shook his head, “Even if you join the Devil Sect now, I’m afraid you won’t be willing to do so.”
“If I really join the Devil Sect, I will definitely not betray you in this lifetime.” Li Qing said resolutely.
“The time hasn’t come yet.” Yin Tianhong actually refused, “You should do the rescue yourself. The Myriad Demon Sect can provide you with some information free of charge.”
“Alright then.” Li Qing didn’t force it.
“It’s not an easy task to save Holy Maiden White Lotus. How much do you know about the secrets of the White Lotus Sect?”
“I heard that the core members of the White Lotus Sect have basically been planted with Heavenly Demon Seeds?” Li Qing said.
“That’s right. Looks like you’ve put in a lot of effort on this.”
“Is there any way to crack the Heavenly Demon Seed?” Li Qing asked.
Yin Tianhong did not immediately answer. Instead, he asked, “There are 1.08 billion Heavenly Demon Seeds. With so many of them, they shouldn’t be too powerful. However, it is difficult for the world to decipher them. Do you know why?”
“I’m not sure.” Li Qing shook his head.
“Because the Heavenly Devil Sectlord is the person who has the highest achievement in the Dao of Soul in history. If our level is not comparable to his, then naturally we will not be able to break it.” Yin Tianhong sighed. “The soul is the most mysterious thing in the world. Anything that involves the soul is tens of thousands of times more complicated than ordinary things.”
He took out a cup of water and dripped an ink on it, immediately dyeing the entire cup grey.
“You see, the human soul is like this cup of water, while the Heavenly Demon Seed is like a drop of ink. It fuses with each other, regardless of us. Is there any way you can separate this drop of ink without harming the water?”
“This” Li Qing couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.
The most common way to separate ink is naturally to evaporate the water. However, this cup of water represents the soul. If you evaporate the water, how can the soul exist?
After thinking for a long time, Li Qing shook his head with a bitter smile, “I can’t do it!”
“This is also the reason why the Heavenly Demon Seed is difficult to crack.” “Polluting the soul is very simple, but purifying it is extremely difficult,” Yin Tianhong said.
“Is there really no other way?”
“Of course there is. How can there be anything absolute in this world?”
“May I know what method it is?” Li Qing hurriedly asked.
“There is a kind of holy medicine in this world called the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus. It can be refined into a Cleansing Spirit Pill. As long as Holy Daughter White Lotus consumes a Cleansing Spirit Pill, she can purify the Heavenly Demon Seed.” Yin Tianhong answered.
“What? Cleansing… Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus?” Li Qing couldn’t help but open his mouth wide. He was too familiar with the name of this sacred medicine. Wasn’t it the one in the Yin Yang Ruins?
Isn’t the so-called Cleansing Spirit purifying the soul?
He couldn’t help but slap his head, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have taken the holy medicine no matter what.
Seeing Li Qing’s appearance, Yin Tianhong couldn’t help but ask, “What? Have you seen the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus?”
“That’s right, I once brushed past the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus!” Li Qing sighed.
“I know this.” Yin Qianyu suddenly said, “Back then, there was a Yin Yang ruin in the center of the Misty Forest. There was a Spirit Cleansing Green Lotus growing underground. Our Devil Sect sent people to fight for it, but it was a pity that it was too late. The Spirit Cleansing Green Lotus was taken away by someone else.”
“Since there are holy medicines, why didn’t you report this to me?” Yin Tianhong frowned.
Yin Qianyu immediately panicked, “Your Excellency, you were cultivating in seclusion. The elders didn’t dare to disturb you, so they didn’t report it.”
Seeing this scene, Li Qing couldn’t help but become even more curious about Yin Tianhong’s identity. Even the elders of the Devil Sect didn’t dare to disturb him so easily. Could it be…
“Looks like your luck is pretty good. At the very least, the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus has already appeared. You still have a chance to obtain it.” Yin Tianhong chuckled softly.
“May I ask if the Myriad Demon Sect knows whose hands the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus has fallen into?” Li Qing asked.
Yin Tianhong tilted his head slightly and signaled for Yin Qianyu.
She said, “Because our Myriad Devil Sect is a step late, we did not obtain any treasures, nor did we see who took away the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus. However, since this item has appeared in this world, it will definitely leave behind traces of it, so it should not be difficult to trace it.”
“If the Myriad Demon Sect can help me trace the whereabouts of the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus, I would definitely be extremely grateful.” Li Qing’s expression was sincere.
At this time, he could display the benefits of a large power. If he were to investigate alone, it would probably take him an unknown amount of time, and he might not be able to succeed.
Handing it over to the Myriad Demon Sect might just be a small matter.
“Alright, I’ll accept this matter. I’ll treat it as if you owe the Myriad Devil Sect a favor.” Yin Tianhong said.
“My favor isn’t worth much, is it?”
“Haha, is your favor worth anything? It’s hard to say.” Yin Tianhong laughed loudly, “This matter will be investigated by Yin Qianyu. After she finds out the whereabouts of the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus, she will naturally come to find you.”
Li Qing looked at the black-clothed woman beside him. The two of them were originally hostile and had plotted against each other in the past. He didn’t expect that there would be another day of cooperation.
“Then I’ll leave it to Miss Yin.” Li Qing tried his best to smile.
“I misunderstood Li Qing in the past. I don’t know him unless I fight him. In the future, we will clear up our past grudges. How about it?” Yin Qianyu’s attitude was also gentle.
“That’s good.” Li Qing nodded repeatedly.
Half an hour later, Yin Tianhong and Yin Qianyu walked out of the restaurant.
Yin Qianyu asked doubtfully, “Li Qing originally promised to join the Myriad Demon Sect. Why didn’t he directly rescue Holy Maiden White Lotus instead of going around in such a big circle?”
