Upon hearing Chen Luoyang’s order, Elder Shou was clearly stunned for a moment before replying respectfully, “”This old servant will obey Cult Master’s orders.”
He hesitated slightly before looking at Chen Luoyang. “”Sect Master, do you mean that the Sword Pavilion Master is on that island?”
“That’s right,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Old Shou secretly clicked his tongue.
As the personal servants of the Cult Master, he, Vajra, and the others actually had a certain amount of information channels. They were one of the few important sources of information that the Cult Master knew about the world without leaving his house.
Before this, the whereabouts and recent situation of Tao WangJi, the Sword Pavilion Master, had always been one of the few things the Demonic Sect had been searching for the most.
Regardless of whether it was the Azure Dragon Hall, the White Tiger Hall’s subordinate intelligence system, Desolate Yuntian’s side, or Old Shou’s side, they were all constantly searching for the whereabouts of the Sword Pavilion Master.
Even after the battle of the South Cloud Mountain, the Demon Cult had repelled the attack of the Central Plains ‘Demon Extermination Coalition Army. They hadn’t relaxed their search for the Sword Emperor.
Even after the decisive battle between the Demon Emperor and the Saber Emperor, the Demon Cult had swept through the Divine Prefecture. The gathering of information in this area was still ongoing.
After all, he was a 14th level God Realm Martial Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns who had previously stood at the peak of the Divine Prefecture.
Even if he was injured, he couldn’t be careless.
After all, not everyone in the Demonic Sect had a divine technique like the Cult Master and was fearless of all challenges.
According to the Sword Emperor’s usual style in the past, everyone believed that he wouldn’t pick on the weak persimmons and pinch them. He wouldn’t avoid the Demon Emperor and attack the other Demon Cult members.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Who knew if this pillar of the Divine Lands would change his ways now that the situation in the Divine Lands had changed?
Especially since he had a total of five disciples, they were like a family.
Two of them had died in the hands of the Demon Empress, and two of them were seriously injured.
The sword servant who had followed him since he was young had also been killed.
This might even agitate the other party.
Therefore, the Demonic Sect would not turn a blind eye to such a hidden danger, so they had been trying their best to find the whereabouts of the Sword Pavilion Master.
However, even though Shi Jing told him that the Sword Emperor went out to sea to find the Pill Empress, the sea was vast and vast. It was difficult for the Sword Emperor to find the Pill Empress, and it was also difficult for others to find the Sword Emperor.
It was often said that finding a needle in a haystack was almost as difficult as this.
Thus, even now, the Demon Cult’s intelligence network still had limited information on the whereabouts of the Sword Emperor.
What was worth mentioning was that when the Demonic Sect defeated the Outsiders, swept through the plains, and killed and captured their experts, they destroyed the intelligence network of the Outsiders. They were also paying attention to the whereabouts of the Sword Emperor, but unfortunately, they also lacked valuable gains.
Thus, when Old Shou heard Chen Luoyang’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
How did the Cult Master know about the whereabouts of the Sword Emperor?
He, Desolate Yuntian, and the Azure Dragon Hall were independent of each other and did not report to each other. He did not know their progress and details.
However, regarding the Sword Emperor’s whereabouts, everyone had a tacit understanding. If anyone discovered anything, they would be able to see some clues.
But no one had heard anything about it before?
Who had discovered something and deliberately covered up the news so tightly this time?
Was this a special signal that the Cult Master had some new ideas?
At this moment, Old Shou couldn’t help but feel like he was in a mess.
He didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately bowed to Chen Luoyang. ‘”‘This old servant will go to Ba Prefecture now and then send the horizontal board to that island.”
After saying that, he bowed respectfully and quickly retreated.
Chen Luoyang took another glance at the other party.
It seemed like Old Shou was planning to deliver the items personally?
He thought that the other party would find someone else to run errands for him.
This mission was clearly a provocation. Chen Luoyang felt that if he were the Sword Emperor, he wouldn’t care if he agreed or not. He would first kill this bastard who had sent a letter to provoke him.
The only possibility of hesitation was that the other party would find an ordinary fisherman or boatman who did not understand anything to run errands for them.
As a pillar of the righteous path, Sword Emperor would not make things difficult for an ordinary mortal.
However, judging from Old Shou’s reaction, he didn’t know if he was in a hurry to show his loyalty or if he was confident in the Sword Emperor’s character.
Chen Luoyang shook his head and retracted his thoughts.
His attention was now focused on the Sword Emperor Tao WangJi himself.
Or more accurately, it was focused on Tao WangJi and Cheng Huyuan.
The question that Chen Luoyang was currently considering was whether Sword Emperor Tao WangJi had recovered.
This matter was actually quite important.
If Tao WangJi hadn’t recovered the strength of the fourteenth realm, then the plan he was going to make against Cheng Huyuan wouldn’t be so easy. He might have to consider another method.
You must have a clear goal.
This time, his goal was to lure the snake out of its hole and lure out the venomous Cheng Huyuan.
In order to make the other party feel at ease, Chen Luoyang needed to prepare an opponent with sufficient weight for himself.
Yuwen Feng was dead, Yan Mingkong’s whereabouts were unknown, and the situation of the Devil Buddha lineage was unclear.
The most suitable person was Tao WangJi.
But if Tao Wangli was seriously injured and his cultivation was insufficient, then this plan wouldn’t work.
According to common sense, Sword Emperor Tao WangJi’s current injuries shouldn’t have recovered yet.
Other people might not understand, but Chen Luoyang himself was very clear.
The final battle between the Demon Cult Master and the Sword Pavilion Master on the Snow Plateau had indeed resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses.
Compared to the injuries on the Sect Master’s side, the Pavilion Master’s side should be about the same.
If there was a clear distinction between the strong and the weak, then the battle would not have ended in a draw, but rather, one side would have been eliminated.
Both sides were heavily injured, almost to the extent of narrowly escaping death.
At that time, they were still breathing and could still maintain their superficial skills.
When that force was released, it was immediately a result of a thousand miles.
Even after the Cult Master used all kinds of healing pills and methods from his Demon Cult, he still needed about a hundred days to recover.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Black Pot had provided him with many methods after Chen Luoyang came and had even stolen the Worry Relieving Pill and other spirit medicines from the Pill Empress, he would still be far from recovering.
Although it was impossible to determine if the Sword Pavilion’s healing methods were more advanced than the Demonic Sect’s, from the fact that the Sword Emperor was forced to go out to sea to find the Pill Empress, everyone’s situation was about the same.
It was a pity that the Pill Empress had come to the Inner Land and even headed west to the Snow Plateau. Now, she was nowhere to be seen.
The Sword Emperor had been floating on the sea for so many days, but it was destined to be a waste of energy. It was impossible for him to find the Pill Empress.
He wasn’t like Chen Luoyang who had the help of the black pot.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he was still far from recovery.
However, Chen Luoyang had to be careful.
He had picked up the “Life” Heavenly Book on the sea.
It wasn’t easy to search for it. He had relied on the stimulation of the killing intent and death aura from his battle with Saber Emperor Yuwen Feng to lure the page of the Heavenly Book to come to him.
However, since they were both floating on the sea, could the Sword Emperor benefit from this page of the Heavenly Book?
Although he did not have the help of the Black Pot to collect the Tomes of Arcane like he did, it was not impossible for him to obtain vitality from it to heal his injuries.
This matter seemed too coincidental, but Chen Luoyang’s investigation of the stone mirror showed that the spoon-shaped island where they met the Sword Emperor wasn’t very far from the mainland.
They might have met the Sword Emperor on his way back.
From this point of view, the Sword Emperor’s fate might have exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, there might be other possibilities?
As Chen Luoyang pondered, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair.
Was he really going to find the Pill Empress?
Shi Jing’s words meant that Shi Jing indeed thought so.
However, no one could guarantee that his knowledge was correct.
There had always been rumors in the Divine Lands that the Sword Emperor Tao WangJi’s rise to power was rather mysterious.
His background was very clear. He was indeed a native of China, unlike the first leader of the Demonic Sect, the Nine-armed Heavenly Demon Fei Chen.
However, the reason why the Sword Emperor was able to become the Sword Emperor was because there were many unexplainable mysteries or legends.
Connecting Ying Qingqing’s Clear Sky Divine Sword to his, as well as the treasured Heavenly Sword Book that was famous with him, Chen Luoyang felt that this former number one expert of the righteous path of the Divine Prefecture wasn’t simple.
Of course, he was very satisfied with this.
Tao WangJi’s influence was enough to lure Cheng Huyuan out.
No matter how mysterious and complicated the Sword Emperor’s background was, it was still simpler than the Devil Buddha lineage.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to support the situation in the Divine Prefecture all these years and be challenged by the Saber Emperor and the Demon Emperor in turns.
At this moment, Chen Luoyang was only a little hesitant.
Now that he had recovered and had the God Demon Blood, he was extremely powerful.
However, in a situation where one knew one another but did not know the other, it was better to avoid being arrogant.
The amount of blood-red serum in the black pot was slightly awkward.
Searching for a 14th realm expert might be just enough, or it might be slightly lacking.
He would have to face more than one opponent next.
Before a large sum of money was given, he had to choose carefully who to investigate.
Furthermore, Ying Qingqing and Pill Empress were missing and their whereabouts were unknown.
Looking at it from another angle, the bait that he had thrown out had a ” fish ‘ biting it.
Of course, it was also possible that the fishing line broke on its own.
However, no matter what, it was no longer a pool of stagnant water. Instead, there was a change.
It was a pity that he didn’t have the time to pull the string now. Otherwise, he might have the chance to see what the invisible string behind Ying Qingqing was connected to.
The blood-red serum was not enough to inquire about Ying Qingqing’s information, but it was definitely enough to inquire about the pill queen.
He didn’t care that he still had Cheng Huyuan, Tao WangJi, the Devil Buddha, and even Yan Mingkong to deal with. It wasn’t easy to accumulate the blood red serum, so he had to prioritize things. He could only put Ying Qingqing and the Pill Empress aside for now.
Chen Luoyang pondered.
While he was calculating internally, the Demon Cult experts outside were resolutely carrying out his will.
Elder Shou personally went to the Bazhou Sword Pavilion.
This place was already sparsely populated, and now that the backbone was gone, it was almost in name only. Faced with the tide of the Demonic Sect sweeping across the Divine Prefecture, there was no room for retaliation.
However, the few remaining servants all showed enough determination and bravery.
When Old Shou arrived, they risked their lives to protect the Sword Pavilion.
It was a pity that this bloody bravery could not fill the huge gap in strength.
A black plaque with the simple words ” Sword Pavilion ” carved on it was taken down by Old Shou and carried on his shoulder. He crossed the Divine Land and headed east.
Wherever it passed, the world was once again shocked..
