Bai Yi originally wanted to invite Constable He inside to have a cup of tea, but the other party shook his head and refused. Constable He explained, “I’m here because I have something to inform cultivator Bai. There’s no need for tea.”
“Later, I still have to inform the other itinerant cultivators of Qinghe County, as well as some sect cultivators who have gone down the mountain to train.”
Oh?
It was not because of the Li Clan?
Bai Yi asked out of curiosity, “What is it?”
Constable He straightened his expression and replied with a solemn tone, “Cultivator Bai, this matter will only be told to the Immortal cultivators. I hope that cultivator Bai will not reveal this information to the ordinary people, so as to avoid causing unnecessary panic.”
“Some time ago, the Imperial Court discovered a Demon Sect force named ‘Sacred Heart Palace’ and the Imperial Court sabotaged their long-planned scheme. They also sent out a large number of experts to kill the demons of Sacred Heart Palace one by one.”
“However, the strength of those demons can not be underestimated. Even though the Imperial Court has made a thorough plan, there are still many who escaped.”
“A portion of the demons of the Sacred Heart Palace escaped in the direction of Qinghe County!”
“The County Office suspects that there are devil cultivators hiding in Qinghe County!”
Constable He paused, and he looked at Bai Yi, observing him.
It was as if…
He was observing his expression.
When he noticed that Bai Yi did not show any strange expression, Constable He continued, “Although the demons that escaped from the encirclement of the Imperial Court’s experts were more or less injured, they are still very dangerous existences.”
“Among them, there is a high possibility that there are Foundation Establishment demons! These demons from Sacred Heart Palace do things extremely extreme, and the Cultivation Methods they practice violate the laws and ethics.”
“Cultivator Bai might have heard of the disaster that happened to the Li Clan. The County Office has speculated that the mysterious Immortal cultivator who killed the Li Clan’s Patriarch is very likely someone from Sacred Heart Palace.”
Bai Yi fell into deep thought.
Ah, this?
He was the Immortal cultivator who killed the Li Clan’s Patriarch. The County Office of Qinghe County had actually speculated that the murderer was a demon cultivator from Sacred Heart Palace?
Those demon cultivators who managed to escape with great difficulty directly took the blame for him?
Constable He did not know what he was thinking. His expression was still solemn, and he was a very serious person. He continued, “If cultivator Bai meets the demons of Sacred Heart Palace, it’s best not to provoke them. Instead, find an opportunity to inform the County Office.”
“At that time, the County Office will contact the powerful cultivators of the Capital.”
“Let them come and completely exterminate the demons!”
As expected, the cultivation world was not any safer than the cultivation world in the cultivation simulator. In reality, it was also very dangerous.
However… Danger was coming!
Although Bai Yi did not know much about the Imperial Court, he knew that the Imperial Court had a deep foundation. The official Immortal cultivators of the Imperial Court were not any weaker than the Immortal cultivators of the sects.
After all, if the Immortal cultivators in the Imperial Court were so weak, how could they suppress so many Immortal cultivation sects?
Whether it was the Orthodox Immortal cultivation sects or the Demon Dao Immortal cultivation sects.
They were all suppressed by the Imperial Court.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the Imperial Court was!
How powerful they were!
That Demon Dao sect called Sacred Heart Palace actually managed to escape the Imperial Court’s encirclement. This meant that Sacred Heart Palace was very likely a force that was not inferior to Spirit Sword Sect or Zhengxin Palace.
Once these dangerous demon path people infiltrated Qinghe County, there would indeed be a great potential threat.
Moreover, Bai Yi could feel Constable He’s scrutinizing gaze.
In the beginning, the other party definitely suspected that he, Bai Yi, was a member of Sacred Heart Hall.
“Yes!” Bai Yi nodded slightly. “Many thanks to Constable He for informing this matter. If there are traces of demon cultivators, I will report it to the Imperial Court.”
Constable He replied, “Thank you for your trouble, cultivator Bai. I will take my leave first. I still have to inform the other immortal cultivators.”
“…”
As he watched Constable He leave, a myriad of thoughts flashed through Bai Yi’s mind.
If it was not for the Immortal Cultivation Simulator…
Just knowing that a demon cultivator might be hiding in Qinghe County was enough to make him quickly move and run away.
A demon cultivator was not like the Li Clan. They were much more formidable.
However, when he had the Immortal Cultivation Simulator and two Human Tools, his mentality was different.
…
At the same time.
Qinghe County.
In an inn.
Qin Jiao, who had just finished her Immortal Cultivation Simulation, was working hard to deal with the table full of delicious food, so as to forget the unwillingness and depression in her heart.
Who would have thought that the huge bronze door would interfere with her thoughts?
She could not control herself!
At that time, the old lady who was with her reminded her in time. She suddenly woke up, but it was already too late.
Qin Jiao did not even know what kind of killing array she had triggered.
She died inexplicably!
Damn it!
Thinking of this, Qin Jiao fiercely chewed on a piece of beef, wishing that she could crush it with her teeth.
At this moment, on a table not far away, two Qi Refinement stage itinerant cultivators were discussing in low voices, attracting her attention.
It made her perk up her ears.
“Brother Mo, did the bailiffs of the County Office look for you today?”
“Yes, they talked about the Sacred Heart Palace. Are there really demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace hidden in our Qinghe County?”
“Who knows? Sigh! It was said that these demons killed without batting an eye. Countless fellow Daoists had died at the hands of these demons. There was a fellow Daoist surnamed Qing that you should know, right? He had broken through to the second level of the Qi Refinemnt stage a few years ago and was preparing to go out to look for spirit herbs to stabilize his cultivation stage. In the end, he was ambushed and killed by the demonic cultivators. His human skin was peeled off.”
“Most of the itinerant cultivators in Qinghe County are only at the first or second level of the Qi Refinement stage. How can they deal with demons?”
“…”
Sacred Heart Palace?
Qin Jiao heard the conversation between the two immortal cultivators not far away.
He frowned.
She could not help but mutter in her heart, ‘why does this name sound so similar to Zhengxin Palace… I didn’t expect that Qinghe County would actually have demonic cultivators hidden here.’
No one knew more about demonic cultivators than she did!
That was because… when she was impersonating an immortal cultivator yesterday, she had been a demonic cultivator for several years and had even joined a powerful demonic sect.
If those demon cultivators were really hiding in Qinghe County, and they wanted to avoid the pursuit of the experts of the Imperial Court, the safest place for them would be…
The County Office!
However, that was not necessarily the case. Many demonic cultivators had extreme thoughts and acted strangely.
It was not surprising for them to start acting out.
“Unlike me, I can remain calm.”
If she had escaped to Qinghe County, she would not hesitate to control the power of the Qinghe County’s government and use the power of the local government to deceive the eyes and ears of some people.
Then, she would hide in the dark and slowly plan.
After her injuries recovered…
Then…
“Cough, cough, cough!!”
Qin Jiao coughed heavily a few times and hurriedly stopped the plan that appeared in her mind, dispelling the dangerous thoughts in her heart.
She had almost forgotten that in reality, she was a Righteous person.
How could her mind be filled with the thoughts of a demon cultivator?
…
