Chapter 3 - You may look as stable as an old dog, but you’re actually panicking inside
Lady Qing Qing …
Ying Qingqing?
Chen Luoyang thought back to his own life experience.
His fingers drummed on the armrest of his chair.
Ying Qingqing.
A very mysterious woman.
Before his battle with the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion this time, the Devil Sect’s leader had accidentally picked up a girl.
A man who lost his memory.
He still possessed a martial arts cultivation base, but he had forgotten about the young girls who passed by him.
After the final battle, the Demon Emperor was resting here. Ying Qingqing was also brought to this manor.
When they first met, she had told the teachers to investigate her background.
However, the Devil Sect’s intelligence gathering was extremely tight, so they didn’t know much about Ying Qingqing.
It made people suspicious.
This was the weakness of that experience. It did not reflect human emotions … Chen Luoyang felt a slight headache.
Heaven knows how deep this Lady Qing Qing’s grudge with him, the Sect Leader of the Devil Sect, was?
Memory loss ….
In a way, we were in the same boat.
As Chen Luoyang was calculating in his mind, he suddenly heard the grey-clothed old man speak with some hesitation.
“Sect Leader, this old servant did as you instructed before going into closed door cultivation. I once again confirmed that Miss Qing Qing Qing …” It is indeed proficient in the Clear Sky Divine Sword! "
Chen Luoyang’s heart suddenly tensed up.
He calmed himself down, still maintaining his indifferent expression and turned to look at the old man in grey.
The grey robed elder nodded his head, "In the vast earth of the Divine Lands, everyone knows that the Clear Sky Divine Sword is a unique technique of the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion.
However, Lady Qing Qing did not seem to recognize the Sword Emperor. Previously, before she had revealed her martial arts, the Sword Emperor had not paid attention to her either. "
Chen Luoyang did not say anything.
He needed the Clear Sky Divine Sword to heal his injuries.
But what a coincidence, someone had delivered himself to his doorstep?
Was it really amnesia, or was it just a false amnesia?
Was it a beauty trap?
What was her relationship with that pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Luoyang instructed, “I’m eating dinner now, arrange for her to join us.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.” The grey robed elder replied respectfully and left.
After he left, Chen Luoyang’s mind connected with the mysterious black pot in his mind.
Can you tell me more about this Ying Qingqing?
The blood-red nectar in the black pot instantly reached the bottom!
However, there were no bloody words on the opening.
Very quickly, the blood-red nectar appeared in the pot once more.
Compared to the previous question, the number of questions did not increase or decrease.
Not enough nectar?
Chen Luoyang was slightly stunned.
Obtaining personal information would consume a lot of essence.
He had also consumed quite a lot of energy to obtain the Ten Regeneration Pill Recipe.
But the remaining Blood Red Jade Marrow would at least consume slightly more energy than what would be used to obtain a ten percent recovery Yuan Dan.
In other words …
The secrets on Ying Qingqing’s body were even more precious and of a higher grade than the recipe for the ten restoration pills?
After a long while, Chen Luoyang muttered to himself, “This is really interesting.”
A lovely flower.
But who knows if this was a trap …
His injuries were caused by his battle with the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, and there was still the Haotian Divine Sword Qi entangling his body, which needed to be resolved.
With the help of the sword Qi of the same origin, if the other party had evil intentions, then he would be in danger.
As Chen Luoyang thought about this, he got up and walked to the front hall.
It was already filled with delicacies.
In addition, there was a beautiful lady sitting by the table, waiting quietly.
Ying Qingqing was around sixteen to seventeen years old, and her features were elegant and refined.
She sat on the edge of the table and watched as Chen Luoyang walked in. She stood up and said, “Sect Leader Chen.”
“Are you used to living there?” Chen Luoyang walked to the seat of honor and sat down.
“The environment here is very good.” Ying Qingqing replied, “However, I have come today to bid my farewells to Sect Leader Chen.”
The taste of the dishes is really good, even though this is the first time I’ve seen the ingredients … Chen Luoyang did not have any scruples just because Ying Qingqing was watching him from the sidelines. He ate heartily as he tried the dishes on the table one by one.
“The people here are underestimating you?” he asked as he ate.
“No, they treated me very well.” Ying Qingqing shook her head. “It was I who had matters to attend to and wanted to leave.”
Chen Luoyang asked, “Have you recovered your memories?”
“No, only a month ago.” Ying Qingqing’s expression was slightly dejected, but she quickly recovered her spirits. “However, the senior Sword Emperor, who competed with Sect Leader Chen, seems to have learned sword techniques from the same source as me. Therefore, I wish to ask him about my past.”
Although the girl’s personality was a bit straightforward, she knew that the Devil Sect’s Sect Leader and the Sword Pavilion Master were enemies, not friends. She had just fought a great battle.
She looked at Chen Luoyang and softly said, “I thank Sect Master Chen for saving me earlier, but I’ve always cared more about my past. I hope that Sect Master can forgive me for my trip to the Sword Pavilion.”
“You are my guest. You are free to come and go, and you can leave anytime you want.”
Chen Luoyang looked at him somewhat playfully.
“However, you seem to be afraid of me?”
Ying Qingqing was silent for a moment, then said, "It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s … “It’s a bit contradictory.”
Chen Luoyang stroked the rim of his wine cup and said, “Tell me about it.”
"Even though I only have about a month’s worth of memories, I’ve heard someone constantly mentioning it during this month … Your sect is vicious and tyrannical with no openings. A bloody storm arose with the intention of dominating the world of the divine region and devilish all living beings. "
Ying Qingqing replied, “But I have been saved by Sect Leader Chen. In the past few days, both you and the people by your side have been very good to me. Their actions were also gentle and courteous, and they did not fail to be righteous …”
I guess it’s because someone is curious as to why, while you know the Clear Sky Divine Sword, you still want to get involved with you … Chen Luoyang retorted in his heart.
Ying Qingqing said, “I want to stand a little further away and see who’s right and who’s wrong.”
I also want to see if you are real or fake … Chen Luoyang thought.
He smiled blandly, "The two things that seem contradictory may both be true, because in this world, the true and false of many things vary from person to person.
Other people call us devils, but the Ancient God Church is the name of our sect. You can find out anything you want with this Divine State. "
Ying Qingqing was startled.
Then he fell silent.
Chen Luoyang acted as if nothing had happened, “It’s already late today, it’s not too late to leave tomorrow morning.”
Ying Qingqing came to her senses and nodded. “Alright.”
Chen Luoyang smiled as he ate. “I will order my men to ask around for you. If you can’t get the answer you want from the Sword Pavilion, perhaps you will find something new here.”
“Thank you, Sect Leader Chen.” When Ying Qingqing heard this, she stood up and greeted Chen Luoyang seriously.
“There’s no need to be so formal.” Chen Luoyang tapped the edge of his plate with his chopsticks, “Don’t you want to eat something?”
“Thank you Sect Leader.” When the young girl sat down again, she moved her chopsticks.
However, he remained silent after eating the meal.
The girl in front of him was not a talkative person to begin with, but Chen Luoyang was worried that he would lose too much of his words.
After the meal, Ying Qingqing left.
Chen Luoyang sent him off with his eyes.
He lightly tapped the jade pendant twice.
Soon, the gray-robed elder appeared in the hall and bowed respectfully.
“Please give your instructions, Sect Leader.”
“Tomorrow morning after Qing Qing leaves, you will secretly follow and see what she has done and who she has come into contact with.” Chen Luoyang faintly instructed, “If there’s anyone outside the Sword Pavilion, be especially careful.”
The grey-robed elder replied respectfully, “Yes, Sect Leader.”
“If you need me, I will send a message for you to bring her back.” Chen Luoyang asked, “Can you do it?”
The content of his words was ambiguous, but he had an unfathomable appearance, his face was expressionless, and his tone was calm.
The grey-clothed old man hesitated as he replied, “Sect Leader, if I am not in the Sword Tower, this old servant is confident that I can do it. If I am in the Sword Tower …”
“In the Sword Pavilion, I will have someone else help you.” Chen Luoyang indifferently said, “Before that, you have to confirm her background.”
“This old servant obeys Sect Leader’s command.” The grey-robed old man kowtowed.
After the other party left, Chen Luoyang also left the parlour and took a walk in the courtyard.
Holding the jade pendant, he became curious.
This time, he knocked on the jade three times.
After three long chimes, someone quickly appeared in front of them.
However, people were different.
This time it was two middle-aged men.
They dropped to one knee.
“Subordinate Azure Dragon Temple, Azure Dragon Five, greets the head of the school, the head of the school, Wan An!”
“Subordinate Azure Dragon Temple’s eleventh dragon claw. Greetings, sect head and sect head Wan An!”
Chen Luoyang looked at them expressionlessly.
A code name?
What kind of hero was this?
The inner structure and rules of the Devil Sect could not be described with the general book of the Divine State.
The life experiences of the Sect Leader that Black Pot had provided were also nothing more than peeping at a panther.
Hold on …
Chen Luoyang’s thoughts changed.
He carelessly said, “It’s better to choose the next day than the next. I’ll test you guys today.”
The two people in front of him were a little nervous as they hurriedly said, “Sect Leader, please instruct me.”
Chen Luoyang first looked at Dragon Claw Eleven. “I won’t be examining the teachings and rules of my sect. You can just memorize them.”
Dragon Claw XI was a bit surprised and a bit fearful, thinking that he had violated some kind of rule.
However, the Devil Sect’s rules were strict. Chen Luoyang didn’t express anything, and Dragon Claw Eleven could only recite it obediently.
The nearby Azure Dragon Five was secretly nervous.
Chen Luoyang leisurely stood with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he was pricking up his ears to listen and memorize.
By the time Dragon Claw Eleven finished reciting, he was covered in cold sweat.
Chen Luoyang declined to comment and turned to look at Azure Dragon Five, “It’s your turn. Tell me the rules of the Azure Dragon Palace.”
The hearts of the five Azure Dragon were pounding. While pondering if they could cross the line, they still braced themselves and explained the situation to their own Sect Leader.
The two of them were extremely nervous.
Chen Luoyang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After Green Dragon Five finished speaking, he asked calmly, “How is your work going?”
Azure Dragon Five and Dragon Claw Eleven quickly reported.
Chen Luoyang quietly listened, pulling out some clues.
The Devil Sect’s headquarters was located in the Southern Wasteland.
That place was known as the Infernal domain.
Over the years, the Devil Sect had striven to gain control of the Middle Earth, and could even dominate the entire Divine Province.
Within the Sect were the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger; these were the core pillars.
The Azure Dragon Palace, one of the four halls, was specifically responsible for the expedition to the outside world. It was the vanguard for the invasion of the Demon Cult, dominating the Divine Province, and was responsible for gathering intelligence, infiltrating and hiding, buying out traitors, and assassinating assassins.
Within the palace, experts were as numerous as the clouds. At the same time, it was the most secretive, as if a dragon that appeared from the heavens could not be seen.
Under the head of the Azure Dragon Palace sat seven experts from the Demon Sect, collectively known as the Seven Nights of the Azure Dragon.
There were also 18 dragon claws and 108 dragon scales.
Some of the dragon claws and scales belonged to the core disciples of the Devil Sect, while some of them were from the Middle Earth masters or non-humankind masters who had been bribed to rebel.
Because of the frequent expansion and loss of scales, the true number of dragon claws and scales often changed. Eighteen and one hundred and eight were illusory numbers, perhaps exceeding this number and occasionally decreasing a bit.
There were also three legendary dragons, and they were all powerful and well-known people. Normally, they still looked decent and decent, but in reality, they had already secretly joined the Devil Sect.
In the entire Azure Dragon Palace, the troops were strong and the roots were deep.
Only the leader of the sect, Chen Luoyang, and the person directly in charge of the list of names, the head of the Azure Dragon Palace, were in possession of the list.
The Dew Manor that he was temporarily staying at was well-known within a thousand miles.
The manor lord was known as Wan Gou Song, a straightforward, upright, honest man. He had friends all over the world, and he was one of the richest men in Yunwu County in Sichuan. He had the might of a county alliance head.
But no one knew that he had another name in the Azure Dragon Palace of the Devil Sect.
Dragon Claw Eleven.
Even more so, no one knew that it was often a matter of justice for all the friends in the four directions. It could be called a sacred place in the Cloud Martial County, Sweet Dew Villa.
Here, the intelligence gathering, the training of personnel, the storage and transportation of wealth, all of these functions were all in one place. At the same time, everything was organized and orderly. There had never been a mistake.
This time, Chen Luoyang had fought a great battle with the Pavilion of Heavenly Swords at the Snowy Region Plateau, so he was going to rest here first.
As the Sect Leader, he had many servants with him. However, after entering the Dew Villa, they were all properly arranged without any mishaps, and no news was leaked out.
“Well done.”
Chen Luoyang said to the man in front of him.
The eleventh Dragon Claw of the Azure Dragon Palace of the Devil Sect, as well as the owner of the Dew Manor in the Yunwu Country of the Grand Xia Empire, Wan Guanxuan, finally relaxed.
He quickly and respectfully said, “It’s all thanks to the Sect Leader, Head and Mister Wu’s guidance.”
The trembling middle-aged man also let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, “The Sect Leader and the Head are right in giving us guidance, a trivial matter like not daring to take credit for.”
In the Azure Dragon’s Seven Nights, the fifth day and the first night were not known for their military prowess.
But he is adept at management and construction.
The secret stronghold of the Demonic Sect’s Azure Dragon Palace, built in the territories of the Middle Earth and other foreign races, had the figure of this Azure Dragon Five working hard on its back.
The initial construction of this Dew Villa was the result of the combined efforts of Azure Dragon 5 and Dragon Claw 11.
“I know very well who is loyal to my sect and who is diligent in handling errands. The two of you are both worthy of praise.” Chen Luoyang said indifferently as he stood with his hands behind his back.
Hearing this, Green Dragon Five and Dragon Claw Eleven who were kneeling down revealed joy on their faces, “Thank you Sect Leader. For the Gods Sect, your subordinate is ungrateful!”
Chen Luoyang faintly nodded in satisfaction.
However, he was still cursing in his heart.
Ying Qingqing has been talking about how the Devil Sect is stirring up trouble and doesn’t seem to have wronged us.
He opened his mouth and asked again, “How many people in the manor are still doing this?”
