CHAPTER 666: Heart Demon Contract, Past of Qingyang Sect
“Qingyang Sect?!”
Upon hearing this name, Liu Yu instinctively felt it was of great importance, perhaps related to the "qingyang skill" he had been pursuing.
Moreover, judging from the other party's demeanor and tone, it seemed they had some understanding of the "Qingyang Sect."
Having been in the Central Domain for four years, he had been desperately seeking news about the "qingyang skill," but had made no significant progress.
At this moment, he had finally managed to catch a lead; how could he let it slip away?
Thus, Liu Yu controlled the surging killing intent within him, stopping the tip of the Setting Sun Golden Rainbow Spear just half an inch from the center of the female cultivator's brows, right before he was about to kill the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator.
However, although the magical treasure halted, the sharp spear light did not stop so easily.
“Pff~”
Several streaks of golden-red spear light struck the female cultivator's forehead, cutting off a large handful of her black hair and piercing her skin, leaving behind bright red blood.
From the few shocking blood marks, blood gushed out, quickly staining the female cultivator's fair and delicate face crimson.
This was still due to the fact that the other party practiced both physical and spiritual paths; if it had been an ordinary golden core cultivator, they would have likely perished on the spot from such an attack.
“Hiss”
A needle-like pain shot through her forehead, clearly reminding the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator of her current predicament. She gritted her teeth and endured, not daring to make a sound.
At this point, life and death were already in someone else's hands.
Given her opponent's reaction speed and ruthless style, any slight movement might lead to her immediate demise.
“Which sect do you hail from?”
“What is your purpose?”
“Regardless of the power behind you, I’m willing to pay double!”
As she utilized her magical power to control her injuries, stopping the bleeding and healing, the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator did not dare to act rashly, yet she questioned Liu Yu with three continuous inquiries.
Clearly, she was attempting to gather information to understand which force had targeted her.
“This princess?!”
“Could it be that she is a consort of some prince from the Great Qian?”
“The Cloth-Clad Alliance is truly calculating.”
Looking down coldly at the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator, Liu Yu remained silent after hearing her words, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He had long anticipated such arrangements from the Cloth-Clad Alliance, yet he hadn't expected that the target of his first mission would be the Great Qian Royal Family!
However, Liu Yu did not feel angry about this.
After all, the original intention behind the establishment of the radical loose cultivator organization was to act under the banner of “reorganizing the world” and seek benefits for all loose cultivators, inevitably leading to a confrontation with the greatest vested interest group, the Qian Court.
“Perhaps it is the identity of the 'messenger of Tian Nan' that has made the Cloth-Clad Alliance's higher-ups a bit uneasy.”
“Thus, they arranged this 'special' mission, trying to force me onto the Cloth-Clad Alliance’s ship without a way out.”
With just a few words, Liu Yu guessed the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator’s identity and soon pieced together the whole story.
“However, all of this pales in comparison to news about the cultivation techniques.”
“Whether it’s the Qian Court, the Cloth-Clad Alliance, or missions, everything should take a back seat when it comes to the fundamental cultivation techniques!”
In his inky-black eyes, a rational glimmer flickered, and Liu Yu gradually reined in his killing intent.
As for the Blue Skirt Female Cultivator’s three questions, he had no intention of answering. He simply coldly replied:
“I hope the fairy understands your situation.”
“A prisoner at your level has no right to negotiate with me!”
