Chapter 75: Shaojun's Supporters Once inside the inn, without the distraction of the chaotic atmosphere on the street, it became easy to find the evil cultivator. He Qing went straight to a guest room in the corner of the second floor and knocked on the door: "He Qing from Yaoguang Sect, I'm here to visit you." The door soon opened from the inside, revealing a girl who looked very young. She had a weak demonic aura and seemed to be injured. She looked at He Qing with wariness in her eyes and said in disbelief: "He Qing? You are the head of the Yaoguang Sect." He Qing nodded slightly: "Yes. I learned that the young lady had stayed in Liangzhou City for a few days, so I came here to say hello to her." The girl had no intention of inviting He Qing in, so she stood at the door with her arms folded and said, "Did someone from the Qi family tell you? But I've never met you before, why are you coming to greet me?" He Qing said calmly, "To be honest, young lady, I came here to ask you something about the magic path." Perhaps because He Qing seemed very friendly and told her his intentions frankly, the girl thought for a while and then stepped aside to make room for him: "Please come in." After He Qing entered and sat down, the girl also sat opposite her. There was tea on the table, but she didn't move. He Qing saw that she was not prepared to have a long conversation with him, so he got straight to the point: "What's your name, young lady?"
"Chi Ying." "Miss Chi, do you know that the seal that suppresses the demon gods and demon beasts in Wulingyuan has been broken?" Chi Ying showed contempt: "Not only I know, the entire demon sect already knows. Isn't it because of this that your sect has been making strange moves recently? As far as I know, the demon beast even went to your sacred mountain to give you a surprise." He Qing lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Yes, it is indeed a surprise. So I came to you, Miss Chi, to verify the current attitude of the Demonic Path towards this matter." Chi Ying looked at He Qing suspiciously for a long while, and said, "Although I am surprised that you, a leader of an immortal sect, can sit down and chat with me so calmly, but if you think you can get news that is beneficial to the immortal sect from me, you are wrong." He Qing said: "As a member of the Immortal Sect, I must hope for the best for the Immortal Sect. I don't deny this, but as far as I know, most people in the Demon Sect have different views. I'm afraid that those demon cultivators who took action because the magic beast broke the seal may not necessarily have the intention of doing so for the good of the Demon Sect, right?" He Qing's words seemed to hit the nail on the head for Chi Ying, causing her expression to grow solemn. He Qing also saw that Chi Ying didn't seem like an extreme demon cultivator. She only had disdain and wariness towards the people from the Immortal Sect, and had no murderous intent of "fighting to the death." So He Qing continued to ask indirectly: "The immortal sect and the demon sect have not had a big dispute for many years. Each of them cultivates their own methods and walks their own paths. In my opinion, this is the best situation. But now many demon cultivators are making frequent moves. I don't know what Young Master is planning?" "Those people don't obey Master Yu." Chi Ying blurted out this sentence, and immediately realized that he was being framed. He immediately stood up and sent the guest away in anger: "I have no comment on the things you asked about. Please leave." Seeing the annoyance on Chi Ying's face, He Qing was overjoyed: Great, great, it will be easy to deal with this girl since she is on Su Guang's side. He Qing seized the opportunity to express his opinion: "Miss Chi, there is no need to be on guard against me. I personally have no prejudice against demon cultivators, and I have always believed that it is most appropriate for the demon sect to be controlled by the current young master. Since his appearance, no one in the demon sect has provoked a fight with the immortal sect, which is also a good thing for our immortal sect. Therefore, I dare not guarantee anything else, but as long as it is beneficial to the immortal sect, even if it is a temporary cooperation, I will do my best to help." He Qing's words were extremely sincere. If she hadn't kept saying it was for the good of the Immortal Sect, people would have believed her when she said she was trying to show her loyalty to the young master. "You are so weird..." Chi Ying looked at her doubtfully and asked irrelevantly, "So it seems that the rumor that Yaoguang Sect accepted a half-demon as a disciple is also true?" He Qing nodded slowly, "It's true. My disciple has a wild temper and is wandering outside." Chi Ying laughed lightly with an expressionless face: "It's amazing that someone like you appeared in the Immortal Sect." He Qing smiled but said nothing. The room was silent for a long time. Chi Ying seemed to be thinking about whether to believe He Qing's words. Her expression was uncertain. Finally, she sat back on the stool with a very stiff body, and no one knew what kind of battle she was having in her mind. He Qing did not urge her and waited quietly for her to make her own decision. After a long time, Chi Ying finally sighed and said, "Those demon cultivators that your sect has found to have unusual behavior are not loyal to the young master." Finally, a hole was torn in the wall of Chi Ying's heart. He Qing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is also my guess."
Chi Ying said: "You people in the outside world may all think that the young master is regarded as the son of destiny by the demon cultivators, but in fact, quite a number of people do not obey the young master. They are only waiting for the legendary demon god." "But the demon has been sealed for tens of thousands of years." "Yes, but they believe that the demon god will come back one day." Chi Ying curled his lips with a hint of sarcasm: "Therefore, after learning that the demon beast broke the seal, they believed that this was a sign of the demon god's return. Some people wanted to find the remaining seals to help the demon god return, while others went to Sanzu River in the hope of being summoned by the demon god." Hearing this, He Qing was a little puzzled and said, "But Sanzu River is the place where the young master was born, and the demon god was sealed in the north, so how could he send out a call at Sanzu River?" "This is the most ironic point." Chi Ying quickly replied, "They don't believe in the young master, but they firmly believe that the young master is involved with the demon god. This is simply contradictory." He Qing did not respond to this. After all, she also suspected that there was some kind of connection between Su Guang and the Demon God, which led to Su Guang's rapid increase in cultivation thirty or forty years ago. She just asked tentatively: "I wonder what your attitude is towards this?" Chi Ying sighed dejectedly, "When the young master killed those radical demon cultivators, he was also injured, so he went into seclusion." Then he said indignantly, "But those people don't think so. The sky changed drastically that day, and thunderclouds rolled in. They said that the young master's actions angered the demon god, and he was backfired by the demon god's cultivation, so he had to stay at home." He Qing's heart tightened: "Thunder cloud?" Chi Ying glanced at her and said, "I know what you are thinking, but Young Master Demon, why do you need to endure the heavenly tribulation that people from your sect would suffer? In my opinion, it is just an ordinary change in the weather, and the thunderclouds are just a little bigger." "..." He Qing frowned - No, it's not that simple. After the day she endured the tribulation, Xuan Qingzi also said that the thunderclouds she experienced did not seem to be a natural tribulation, but everyone agreed at that time that apart from a natural tribulation, there seemed to be no other reason that would bring about thunderclouds of that scale.
