Chapter 1157: Fishing!

Xu Qing's goal was simple.

These outsiders all hid themselves very well, and their schemes were not ordinary. None of them were simple people.

Unless there were some unchangeable factors, like Li Tianjiao's, that was why he had to take the risk of being exposed.

Otherwise, trying to find them would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

After all, each of these people had a different goal, so it was difficult to see too much specificity from them.

As for the descent of one's consciousness, if one intended to conceal it, it would be even more difficult to distinguish.

Xu Qingshang had a certain degree of confidence in finding those who would cause space-time ripples because in this period of history, his identity was like a torch in the dark night.

He would naturally be attracted to her.

For example, Li Tianjiao's approach, Zhong Chi's pursuit, and the appearance of the Nine Shores' daughter.

They were all using his identity as the anchor point.

However, this would take time.

In addition, many of these outsiders have chosen a different path from the Turbulent Time and Space. For example, some of the Keepers of Order have chosen to let history develop.

If this kind of person continued to behave and truly acted as a spectator, there would be no flaws in the short term.

This made it even harder to find.

If that was the case …

"Since I am unable to find those hidden outsiders immediately, I will use the first rumor to inform them to be more cautious in the future."

"In that case, although I won't be able to find them, it will also be difficult for Xing Huanzi to find them and correct them."

"As for the second rumor …"

Inside Shaoji Hall, Xu Qing looked up at the sky.

"Let the wise become even more enlightened. Use rumors to directly reveal the other party's identity."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed.

As for whether the people of this era believed it or not, it didn't matter.

The important thing was that those outsiders like him would measure themselves.

This was the signal that had been sent to them.

At the same time, wasn't it also a ripple in this part of history?

"I won the first half of Li Tianjiao's match. As for the second half, the Fourth True Lord won."

"I wonder how the Fourth True Lord will deal with the second round. It would be great if he could enter the self-verification phase."

Xu Qing pondered.

He knew that what he needed to do now was to conceal himself and observe silently.

Let's see what kind of waves this immortal palace will have in the storm of rumors.

"Apart from the advantage of being in the dark, I have a second advantage in this game of history …"

Xu Qing looked at the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The mud fox was not within their knowledge!

Everyone who had entered the world of the fourth level had actually left behind traces. In the eyes of those who were observant, if they carefully examined them, there would be traces that could be followed.

But the mud fox was different.

There were no traces of him before, so his existence was of great use to Xu Qing.

......

Several days later.

Different people had different opinions about the use of rumors.

Although it had spread in the Immortal Palace, for the people of this era, these so-called rumors were mostly dismissed with a laugh.

After all, this was the Aurora Immortal Palace!

Although the Immortal Lords of the fifth star ring came from different small worlds, they weren't completely harmonious and had some conflicts.

But … in terms of the general direction, they were of the same mind.

Moreover, with the Immortal Venerables at the top, there wouldn't be too big of a problem between the Immortal Lords.

Therefore, whether or not there was an outsider taking over his body, it didn't make much of a difference.

Moreover, a smart person would naturally be able to guess that the rumor itself had a purpose, especially since it mentioned the Fourth True Lord.

Therefore, most of the cultivators of the Immortal Palace were observing from the sidelines.

Compared to them, the outsiders hidden among the crowd were all unusually vigilant.

The difference in their knowledge allowed them to immediately guess the reason and see the problem.

At this moment, among a group of Immortal Palace cultivators, Zhong Chi, who was curiously listening to their discussion, nodded in agreement while remaining vigilant in his heart.

"It feels like a battle of magical powers … Just as I thought, the Fourth True Lord is an outsider. I just don't know who spread the news. It's a warning to everyone …"

"As for Xu Qing, I wonder if he saw the message I asked the land spirit to send him. Did he come to the fourth level?"

In the south of the Immortal Palace, the Daughter of the Nine Shores was sitting in meditation in a guest temple. When she heard the words of her handmaidens, she put on a nonchalant expression, but in her heart, she was filled with caution.

"The Fourth True Lord?

No wonder he appeared in the battle between Li Tianjiao and young master Aurora. Li Tianjiao's identity is now clear. "

"However, judging from the Fourth True Lord's actions, he's going to stop Bo Lan. This doesn't conflict with my goal."

"But we still need to be careful."

The daughter of the Nine Shores muttered to herself.

Similar thoughts appeared in different parts of the Immortal Palace.

The Sword Furnace was no exception.

Qian Jun Piyi and Qian Jun's concealment could be said to be flawless. Therefore, after being discovered by the Fourth True Lord, the two brothers had been analyzing the flaws in their plan.

More or less, he had some answers.

Now, he even sensed the rumors …

"Someone is targeting that person."

"Let them fight. It has nothing to do with us. We only need to wait for time to pass and for the sword embryo to shine completely."

Inside the Sword Furnace, the two sword embryos clashed against each other and transmitted their thoughts.

"I wonder what the person in the rumors is thinking right now."

Qian Jun Pi Yi sneered.

.....

"There is a definite possibility that this was done by Li Tianjiao, and there is also a partial possibility that it was done by Xie Lingzi whom we have yet to find!"

"But no matter what, we are in a passive position."

Zhou Zhengli said in a low voice as he looked at Xing Huanzi, who was sitting cross-legged not far away.

Xing Huanzi said calmly when he heard this.

"There's no need to panic. Your current state is what the person behind the scenes wants.

And … you still missed out on one person. "

"This matter doesn't conform to the positions of the others. It should be the actions of that person."

Zhou Zhengli pondered, and the figure beside Li Mengtu outside the Immortal Palace that day appeared in his mind.

"Are you talking about the one at the entrance of the Immortal Palace who is not a star but has a constitution?"

"That's him."

Xing Huanzi raised his head. His gaze followed the door and looked at the sky outside. There was a cold light in his eyes.

"If you pay attention to rumors, it's hard to avoid self-confirmation."

"And with my current status, there is no need for me to pay attention to this."

"So, the point isn't to spread rumors, but to find this person!"

"Also, this person's actions have actually exposed his identity. I already have a general idea of what to do."

Xing Huanzi's gaze fell upon … Shaoji Palace in the east!

"I hope it's the identity I'm guessing. If that's the case, things will be interesting."

As he muttered to himself, Xing Huanzi stood up and walked out with a calm expression.

Zhou Zhengli said softly when he saw that Xing Huanzi was about to leave.

"Milord, how should we deal with this matter?"

Xing Huanzi didn't look back. As soon as he walked out of the temple, his voice could be heard.

"I originally planned to give those people some deterrence in the near future. It's better to take this opportunity."

"Moreover, there is no need for you to keep hiding in front of me. Given your intelligence, you should naturally know how to deal with this matter properly. Therefore, you can go and do what I have instructed you to do earlier."

As he spoke, Xing Huanzi's figure disappeared.

Inside the hall, Zhou Zhengli's expression was the same as ever, and he smiled slightly.

"Rumors are part of a conspiracy, and the way to deal with a conspiracy is naturally an open conspiracy."

"However, in the face of such a showy person, I naturally have to hide my strength."

......

It was noon.

Outside the Sword Furnace, Xing Huanzi's figure appeared out of thin air and spoke.

"If there are people who don't know their place, then I will drive one of them away tonight as a warning to others."

His calm tone contained great confidence. After he spoke, he did not care about the waves in the Sword Furnace and turned to leave.

When he reappeared, he was already in seclusion, where Li Tianjiao was.

He said the same words with the same calm tone.

Next, they went to the hall where the women of the Nine Shores were. The two of them didn't meet. The Fourth True Lord simply stood outside the hall and spoke calmly.

His voice could not be heard by anyone else, but it was clearly heard by the Nine Shores Woman.

Even as his heart trembled, the Fourth True Lord had already left.

They were not the only ones. On Zhong Chi's way to the Shaoji Hall, the Fourth True Lord's figure also appeared out of thin air, his cold gaze landing on Zhong Chi.

Zhong Chi's heart sank, and he put on a respectful expression. Just as he was about to offer formal greetings, the Fourth True Lord's words echoed out.

Then, he left, heading to other places.

In a short period of time, all the people in the Immortal Palace whose identities had been confirmed by Xing Huzi heard these words one after another and sensed the harshness in them.

He was clearly telling everyone what he, the Fourth True Lord, wanted to do.

Tonight!

Thus, noon passed and the sun set.

Amidst the peace, there was an undercurrent moving.

Finally, night fell.

Stars twinkled in the sky as a bright moon slowly rose into the sky, sprinkling down a gentle silver glow.

Like a thin veil, it shrouded the Immortal Palace.

In this deep and serene night, it added a bit of mystery and ethereal to the Immortal Palace, making it faintly discernible, like a phantom in a dream.

In the illusion, the Immortal music of Shaoji Palace floated in the air and the fairies danced.

Inside the Sword Furnace, the army was silent and vigilant.

In the Nanke Hall, the women of the Nine Shores were ready for battle.

Within Shaoji Palace, Zhong Chi did not return to his residence tonight. Instead, he waited in front of the hall.

The night gradually deepened.

The moon grew brighter and brighter, causing the carved railings and jade tiles of the immortal palace to sparkle like countless bright stars …

In the Thunder Punishment Palace, which was in charge of lightning punishment, a justice official who was meditating with his legs crossed slowly opened his eyes.

He was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a dignified air about him. He stood up, flipped his hand, and produced a jade slip.

The jade slip recorded the operation diagram of the Immortal Palace, the deployment of the various palaces, as well as information about the array formation of the Immortal Palace. Most importantly, it recorded the specific movements of the first three True Lords.

As he stared at the jade slip, a dark light flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

"With this information, it's enough for me to make waves about betraying the Immortal Palace."

"I believe the commotion caused by my betrayal will make the broken sword in my body even more satisfied."

.............

The results were out. The doctor said that there were no major problems at the moment and that he would have regular checkups.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Thank you for your concern.
