Chapter 92: Fiendcelestial Cult

In the Full River House.

When the list appeared, Li Yu spoke too.

“Master, Uncle-Master, I’ve deliberately gone to investigate these two people.”

“Wang Lei is a disciple of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect and has now comprehended Summer Thunder and Spring Thunder sword momentum. His abilities are mediocre.”

“Li Changye’s origin is somewhat unknown. I used the power and authority of the Black Clouds Pavilion of the Jin Nation, but I couldn’t quite find his origin. I think he must be a nobody.”

Li Yu looked at Ye Ping and Su Changyu as he said so calmly.

When he got the name list, he had already asked the Black Clouds Pavilion to investigate the two men. Wang Lei’s information was rather easy to find.

On the contrary, Li Changye’s information was difficult to find. Even when he used the Black Clouds Pavilion’s authority to investigate, he couldn’t find out much. Hence, Li Yu subconsciously thought that Li Changye was just a nobody.

After all, the Black Clouds Pavilion was the most supreme secret intelligence pavilion in Jin Nation, and they were in control of all the affairs in Jin Nation. Those who were a little famous would have their information noted down on a scroll and put away in the Black Clouds Pavilion.

That was the reason that Li Yu thought that Li Changye was a nobody.

In the guest room.

After listening to Li Yu, Ye Ping did not take it lightly or let his guard down. Instead, he had some expectations.

After all, it was the first sword competition in his life. It would be impossible to say that he wasn’t agitated.

As for Su Changyu who was at the side…

He was even calmer.

Firstly, it was because he had mastered the Sword Nurturing Technique, which made his confidence soar. Secondly, it was because he didn’t plan to get a good place in the ranking. He would just say a few words after getting on the arena.

For example, he would say that Sword Dao cultivators should not bully their juniors or that they should just take the competition this time as a memory. After saying that, he would walk down the platform.

Hence, Su Changyu remained calm.

“Junior Brother.”

In the next moment, Su Changyu spoke again.

“What’s the matter? Senior Brother?”

Ye Ping, who was pondering about the Sword Dao meet tomorrow, couldn’t help but be curious after he heard Su Changyu’s voice.

“There are many hidden experts in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet today. Don’t be overconfident and arrogant. You must always have the heart of a disciple. Remember, if you step in the ring, you must leave without regrets. You have to go all out, remember?”

Su Changyu lectured Ye Ping.

The focus of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was on Ye Ping.

Ye Ping would be the one to defend the Qingyun Dao Sect’s pride.

It would be exaggerated to clinch the first place, but he had to at least get into the top ten.

Hence, Su Changyu had no choice but to remind Ye Ping, lest Ye Ping got arrogant and conceited. It would be bad if it backfired.

“You’re right, Senior Brother. I will definitely go all out and leave with no regrets.”

Ye Ping nodded.

Su Changyu’s words were reasonable. After all, that was what he thought too. Even if he was facing a nobody, he would definitely not let his guard down since it was the first battle of his life. He had to put in all his efforts to take on the battle.

“You’re right, Uncle-Master. Besides, there are indeed experts hidden in the Sword Dao Meet this time. Even Sikong Jiantian is here. Uncle-Master, do you want to fight Sikong Jiantian?”

Li Yu, who was at the side, chimed in attentively too. At the same time, he sounded curious too.

However, Su Changyu was shocked after hearing what he said.

“Is Sikong Jiantian here too?”

Su Changyu was astonished. In the past few days, he had been staying in the room to study the Sword Nurturing Technique. He really didn’t know why Sikong Jiantian was there too.

However, the more shocked Su Changyu was, the more indifferent and composed he seemed to be on the surface.

Li Yu did not detect any abnormal changes and instead, he was shocked.

“It turns out you’re here to participate in the competition, not for Sikong Jiantian’s sake.”

Li Yu was a little surprised. There were too many experts in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time, and the most famous one was none other than Sikong Jiantian.

He thought that Su Changyu was participating because he heard that Sikong Jiantian was also participating, so he wanted to compete against the latter. But now, it seemed that Su Changyu didn’t know about Sikong Jiantian at all.

“I’m participating this time, purely for the sake of comprehension. I’m not targeting anyone.” Su Changyu explained casually before continuing, “Sikong Jiantian, why is he here? It’s just a small Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, what brings him here?”

Su Changyu was curious.

He knew what kind of person Sikong Jiantian was. He was known as a rare Sword Dao genius in Qingzhou whom the younger generation of sword cultivators in Qingzhou looked up to. However, he did not expect that such a long-established figure would also come to the Qingzhou Ancient City and attend the competition.

Even Ye Ping, who didn’t know much, knew about Sikong Jiantian, what more Su Changyu. He had read some information about Sikong Jiantian in the Qingyun records found in the Sutra Pavilion.

“If I didn’t guess wrongly, Sikong Jiantian should have other motives for attending the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time. However, I’m not clear about the details.”

Li Yu answered calmly, believing that Sikong Jiantian definitely wasn’t there just for the competition.

“There should be other purposes.”

Su Changyu couldn’t help but nod. After all, Sikong Jiantian’s status was extraordinary. To put it bluntly, it would be a waste of his talent if he was invited to be a judge, let alone a contestant.

After saying this, Su Changyu stopped bothering about those trivial matters, and instructed Ye Ping to comprehend the Sword Dao properly.

Su Changyu left.

In the guest room, only Ye Ping and Li Yu were left.

In the room, the incense was burning and all Ye Ping could think about was the Sword Dao Meet tomorrow.

However, Li Yu’s voice suddenly broke the silence.

“Master.”

Li Yu’s words made Ye Ping snap back to his senses.

He looked at Li Yu with some curiosity, but he did not speak and waited quietly.

“Master, there are some things that I don’t know if I should say. In short, if you encounter some strange or suspicious people, you have to avoid them. Otherwise, there will be trouble.”

Li Yu reminded.

Ye Ping was curious.

‘Why did he suddenly say that?’

‘And, what does he mean?’

Ye Ping’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. Li Yu finally explained, “Master, I shouldn’t be allowed to say this as it is a secret of the imperial court, but I believe that your identity is clean, so I’d like to remind you.”

“The imperial court has received some insider news that the Fiendcelestial Cult has been revived, and it seems to be planning to conduct a purge in the 33 states of the Jin Nation and establish their dominance. The Jin Nation has made thorough arrangements, but the Fiendcelestial Cult is vicious and scheming. They even infiltrated the imperial court.”

“We can’t find out who the followers of the Fiendcelestial Cult are or when they will strike. The only thing we can know is that they will definitely strike, so you have to be prepared and stay away from danger.”

Li Yu said, gritting his teeth.

Ye Ping couldn’t help but be surprised by his words. Although he did not know what religion the Fiendcelestial Cult was, he once heard it was a heretic way. However, they did not expect to run into it.

“Since it’s going to be dangerous, why don’t they cancel the Sword Dao Meet?”

Ye Ping frowned a little.

“Master, there’s no point in canceling it. The Fiendcelestial Cult has a great history, and the disciples are all good at concealment and stealth. Once the Sword Dao Meet is canceled, it will expose the spies of the court. Besides, there are going to be subsequent Sword Dao Meets too.”

“However, you don’t have to worry, Master. Qingzhou has placed a lot of experts hidden in ambush. If those beasts of the Fiendcelestial Cult dare to reveal themselves, they’d definitely die. Besides, I also guess that Sikong Jiantian is here for that matter.

Li Yu said so because he didn’t want Ye Ping to be too worried. He just wanted Ye Ping to keep his guard up.

“Got it.”

Ye Ping nodded. He did not want to get involved and just wanted to practice immortal cultivation. He didn’t care about fame and planned to retire when he was near the extreme limit, and then go to the mortal world to enjoy life.

That was Ye Ping’s purpose of immortal cultivation. He didn’t want to be involved in a power struggle and was only interested in living the best out of his life.

“Master, I can only say these to you. Uncle-Master is carefree and I’m worried that he’s too nonchalant and might spread this. If he does, I will have to bear heavy consequences so you mustn’t tell anyone else about this.”

Li Yu reminded him.

Ye Ping nodded too.

He could tell that Li Yu was under great pressure when he told him that secret, so Ye Ping was very grateful.

However, Ye Ping was not very worried about it.

The imperial courts had already made preparations.

Besides, even if he really met those disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult, so what?

What was there to be afraid of since he had Su Changyu’s protection?

Soon, Ye Ping continued to think about the Sword Dao Meet again.

At this moment, in the City Lord’s residence.
