Except for that Dong Liangyu, Li Hongjiu didn't know any other Dong Liangyu, it's just that…
He tilted his head to look at Shi Chun's curious expression, and changed the topic, asking: "Your 'seems like' seems a bit far-fetched; how did you think of her?"
It's not that he wanted to lie to Shi Chun, but he knew what kind of character Shi Chun was. He was still dragging this injured body around, being commanded like this. Meanwhile, the quiet woman in the Book Collection Building could observe the heavens and earth from the inscriptions in the building, seeing things outsiders couldn't see. There was no need to drag her into this worldly chaos.
His background in the Yanbao Sect had already caused too much helplessness, like being forced to come here to fight. Not accepting Dong Liangyu as his disciple initially was to cherish her talent and keep her from being tainted.
When he was seriously injured, he merely thought of that possibility and mentioned Dong Liangyu. Now that the poison is cured, he naturally doesn't want to expose Dong Liangyu, lest Shi Chun bothers her. Dong Liangyu is a well-bred lady, who can't endure Shi Chun's scheming.
He truly didn't want to harm Dong Liangyu.
"I just misheard," Shi Chun laughed heartily, genuinely thinking he misheard; it seemed too far-fetched for Dong Liangyu, yet he was still curious, "Who is the person who can cure the Demon Dew poison?"
Li Hongjiu: "An expert."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say, Shi Chun didn't pursue the matter.
The two returned to the island, and the exhausted Li Hongjiu didn't want to say anything, ignored everyone, and went straight back to the cave to meditate and recover.
Shi Chun went back to the cave directly too, as the spy still had a touch of Demon Essence within them, which should rival that of a High Martial Great Success Realm Demon Essence; can't let it go to waste.
Sitting back beside the spy, seeing the weak spirit in the spy's eyes, Shi Chun didn't rush to drain his Demon Essence this time. He was not urgently chasing Li Hongjiu's time, seeing that the meaning in the spy's eyes seemed to have something to say, he immediately released the mute point on him.
Finally able to speak, Jie Yunzhao weakly said: "Shi Chun, who are you really?"
Shi Chun countered, "Are you willing to say who you are now?"
Jie Yunzhao: "You're absorbing my Demon Essence; you're unafraid of Demonic Qi entering your body; are you also from the Demon Path?"
Shi Chun asked: "Which sect are you from?"
Jie Yunzhao: "No way, I was injured by the Void Escape Divine Arrow; someone from the Heavenly Immortal Realm struck. None of the Three Sects have the Void Escape Divine Arrow. It's unlucky to meet you; last time at Dazhi City, I was heavily injured by Fu Que, and this time hurt by the Void Escape Divine Arrow, even cost my life, haha…" It was truly a hopeless, bitter smile.
Dazhi City, when Fu Que made a move? Shi Chun was startled, shocked: "You're Mo Shiliu? No way, Mo Shiliu is an expert at the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Jie Yunzhao was briefly stunned, realizing he was confused, inadvertently revealing his identity.
But it didn't matter anymore; being in Mulan Jin's hands, they would find out anyway, so it didn't count as revealing his identity, hence he weakly said: "Under Fu Que's sword, escaping through Blood Escape, cultivation drastically dropped. Later, hunted by West Niu King Court's troops, escaping once more through Blood Escape, and cultivation dropped again."
Hearing this, Shi Chun confirmed that he should be Mo Shiliu, because the siege by West Niu King Court's troops had something to do with him. During Jiang You'er's interrogation, he uncovered Mo Shiliu's whereabouts and informed the Red-clothed Woman; little did he expect the West Niu King Court's move still let him escape.
So, this guy fell into my hands three times.
But he didn't intend to reveal this secret, it's better for them to endure less resentment when they depart.
Just a bit regretful, it was Demon Essence at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, yet only this little is left.
Knowing the opponent's identity meant knowing which sect he belonged to; Jiang You'er had confessed, they were of the 'Gui Cang' sect.
"Give me a swift end, don't deliver me to Mulan Jin." Jie Yunzhao's tone was like a plea.
Shi Chun didn't intend to let him live and go to Mulan Jin's side, couldn't allow the absorption of Demon Essence to be exposed, but he still took out the Mother-child Talisman to contact Mulan Jin.
Straightforwardly asked: Commander, does the demon's Blood Escape lead to a drop in cultivation?
He just wanted to confirm the situation, and believed Mulan Jin, who has been dealing with the Demon Path, should understand these matters.
On the command center high platform in the Heavenly Court, Mulan Jin flipped out the Mother-child Talisman, realized something after reading the message, and replied: Yes, Blood Escape is a Demon Skill that burns blood essence and cultivation, unleashing extraordinary escape abilities; the distance of escape depends on the amount burned; each usage drops cultivation.
Shi Chun replied after reading: This spy should be Mo Shiliu.
Mulan Jin was surprised, knowing well about the Demon Path, Mo Shiliu's mouth was notoriously hard to pry open, but once words are spoken, it's easy to handle, immediately replied: Deliver him to me, I will arrange for someone to take over.
How could Shi Chun deliver him alive, replied: Too late, interrogation methods were too excessive, he couldn't endure, about to die.
Mulan Jin promptly asked: What did he confess?
Shi Chun answered: He wouldn't confess anything, in Juku State's Dazhi City, I almost fell into his hands, thankfully Sword Saint Fu Que intervened. I've seen him, recognized him, just perplexed why his cultivation lowered; he said it was caused by Blood Escape to save his life.
Fu Que and Mo Shiliu's clash is public, Mulan Jin knew, replied: Preserve his corpse and items on him; I will arrange for someone to retrieve them.
Shi Chun responded: Commander, he entered with Great Success Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, should not be ordinary, and he carried several tokens; I think he might be a Centurion of a team, there are no Beiju or West Niu tokens among them; he's not a demon cultivator, has a great chance of being a Beiju Team Centurion. His Centurion Token isn't on him; I think while he's dying, it might still be of use.
