"Whether I am a wanted criminal or not, in short, as long as my identity is not exposed, no one should be able to threaten me."
Qin Dong was not anxious at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Even a young minister from Dali Temple died in the hands of that evil cultivator. Could it be that this person is some giant of the devil?"
"According to rumors, this is the case."
Huangfu Jinglun was well-informed, but he put forward a different opinion: "However, according to my guess, the evil cultivator... is probably related to the seven major families, or has a very close relationship with a relative of the emperor, otherwise, this People do such evil, but there is no trace of it. If someone hadn't deliberately covered up the news, the murderer would never have been caught..."
"In Master's opinion, is it possible that this evil practice...is related to the Ji family?"
Qin Dong asked. When he accepted the mission, he didn't get much information, but this piece of information was extremely crucial.
Whether or not this was a possibility, he wanted to check it out.
"Ji family? Speaking of which, it meets these conditions. However, the Ji family is already the head of the eight major families and has an extremely respected status in the Holy Empire. With their current status, it seems that there is no need for them to do this for an evil cultivator. It has damaged the prestige that the family has accumulated over the past century..."
Huangfu Jinglun objectively commented.
This time, he was deeply harmed by the Ji family, but in order to help Qin Dong complete the task, Huangfu Jinglun did not avenge his personal revenge, but calmly analyzed the pros and cons.
"It stands to reason that there is really no need for the Ji family to do this, but what if they have a bigger plot?" Qin Dong said in surprise.
"You mean...this, how is this possible..."
Thinking of that possibility, even Huangfu Jinglun couldn't sit still. Once this happened, a shocking chaos in the royal city would be inevitable.
As the head of the seven major families, the Ji family is already a top family, ranking first!
If it goes one step further, it would be to annex other families and become the most powerful family force under the imperial power.
However, the strength of the eight major families is almost the same. If you want to do this, unless one of the families is the first to enter the Feitian Realm, or get the help of an expert.
That evil cultivator could silently practice corpse refining in a place like the Royal City where masters gathered without revealing any hidden secrets. He was probably brewing an earth-shattering conspiracy.
Of course.
Qin Dong proposed this idea just as a hypothesis. There is currently no direct evidence. It is conclusive that this matter is the key to the corpse refining case. Only after arriving in the royal city can he have the opportunity to slowly find out.
"No matter what, in short, I will definitely go to this royal city."
Qin Dong thought to himself: "Taking this opportunity, we can solve the hidden danger of the seven major families and leave only one Lou family, which is enough!"
With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter someone at the ninth level of the Saint Yuan Realm or someone from the Feitian Realm, he can protect himself in most cases.
The Holy Empire is only a medium-sized empire. Anyone who enters this realm is either an old monster, an ancestor who has not been born for a long time, or a guardian behind the scenes of the empire. How could he be touched by Qin Dong so easily? arrive?
With this calculation in mind, Qin Dong was not worried about his own safety during the trip to the royal city. At worst, he could just show his identity or use the teleportation talisman to escape.
After making the decision, Qin Dong no longer hesitated and said, "If nothing else happens, I will leave for the royal city tonight."
"So anxious?"
Huangfu Jinglun said in astonishment, he was still thinking about talking to Qin Dong Bingzhu Ye and keeping this kid in Yanjing City for a few more days!
"It is urgent to solve the problems of the seven major families, and Ziyan is now deeply trapped in the Moon God Palace, waiting for me to rescue him, so we can't delay any longer."
Qin Dong took a deep breath and said.
"Zi Yan...is actually trapped in the Moon God Palace?"
Huangfu Jinglun's eyes dimmed. He suddenly understood why Qin Dong had broken through so quickly. It turned out that all of this was due to tremendous pressure and suffering.
I really don’t know how much suffering this kid has suffered and how much he has suffered after leaving the Holy Empire.
"Yes, it is said that it has still fallen into the hands of the Lord of the Moon God Palace. If it is delayed for too long, by that time, I am afraid it will be too late." Qin Dong said silently.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Qin Dong, Huangfu Jinglun simply gave up the idea. Suddenly, he turned his palm, took out something, put it on the coffee table, and said: "You are now a disciple of the Immortal Sect, with countless resources, and you should not have any secret techniques. It’s missing. I don’t have anything good to give as a teacher, so I’ll just use this as a small gift.”
"This is... a map of Ten Thousand Demon Mountains?"
When Qin Dong saw this, his breathing became a little more constricted. How could this be such a small gift? It is clearly as heavy as a mountain and cannot be measured in terms of value...
Where is Wanyao Mountain?
In addition to itself, it is a three-no-no zone, with dangerous locations, numerous mountains, and large monsters roaming rampant, and monsters gathering. It will take a long time to even explore an area, let alone obtain a map.
If someone can obtain the map of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, it will be equivalent to putting the resources here in the palm of their hand, and they can go deep into it and absorb it at any time. It can be said that there are many benefits and countless opportunities!
Huangfu Jinglun gave this gift to himself. It was countless times more useful than gifting him any treasures of heaven, earth, earth, or other things outside his body.
Qin Dong couldn't imagine how much effort Huangfu Jinglun spent, and he still had time to explore the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain and draw it into a map.
"For others, it is indeed difficult to draw a map of Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, but our Huangji Taoist Palace has inherited it so far. At least tens of thousands of people have entered Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. Basically, they have mapped the outer areas and those close to the depths. The area has been almost explored, and many route maps and markings have been left behind.”
In this regard, Huangfu Jinglun did not take credit, but smiled and said: "I have the authority to access these materials, and it took me half a year to sort them out. If there were some incomprehensibility, I used the moonlight to quietly explore them, but I couldn't find them. It’s not difficult to make a map if you act rashly.”
"In addition, you have entered the ninth level of the divine power realm, but you have not yet transformed the holy energy. I guess you just want to collect the power of the five elements and transform into divine power! It just so happens that there is an undeveloped five-element power in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain. If you go and explore this spiritual land, you will definitely gain something!"
"As for whether you can do it or not, it depends on your luck."
Listening to Huangfu Jinglun thinking about himself between the lines, Qin Dong was inexplicably moved for no reason!
He secretly said that this friendship was indeed so profound that he didn't even know what to say.
The depths of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain are so dangerous. Huangfu Jinglun went through many lives and deaths before he drew the map, but gifted it to himself. It can be said that the dean has contributed all his hard work for free.
Qin Dong would be extremely stupid if he didn't appreciate his kindness and didn't understand the difficulty involved.
Silently accepting the map, Qin Dong asked curiously: "Master, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How did you guess that I planned to collect the power of the five elements and undergo divine transformation?"
"It is obviously impossible for a genius like you to rely on swallowing the Divine Source Fruit or some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to allow the divine power to transform naturally. Firstly, it will take too long, and secondly, it will be in vain. It's a waste of your talent..."
Huangfu Jinglun did not shy away. He took a sip of fragrant tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "It is too dangerous to sacrifice the embryos of the holy weapons and nourish them with divine power. Moreover, you are following the body refining stream and do not rely on divine power." Weapons are powerful, so the second method is obviously not suitable for you."
Having said this, Huangfu Jinglun has eliminated the first two possibilities, so there is only the last "possibility" left, and it is naturally not difficult to guess.
"I see. How much does Master know about this place of five spirits? Since you know this secret place, you must have explored it and you must have taught me something!" Qin Dong asked.
