Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 168 122, am I the mastermind behind the scenes?_2

"Who stands to gain the most from the spreading of this matter about me?"

Tan Shuchang pondered, and suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He looked towards Dai Huanzhen, only to see his internal Sword Dao power now showing signs of losing control.

However, before Tan Shuchang could act to help suppress it, a change occurred in Dai Huanzhen's eyes.

The eyes that had looked upon Tan Shuchang were excited and fervent, like those of the most devout believer. But now, those eyes only held coldness, indifference, and vicissitudes.

"I am Dugu Jiudrink, and it's quite normal that you do not know this name, for I am a Three-Testament Ascender," Dai Huanzhen spoke, his voice remaining the same, but the tone was completely different.

"May I know why Senior Dugu has appeared before me, and what you seek from this junior?" Tan Shuchang clasped his fists in a polite inquiry.

"Of course, it's still about that Fate Path Bead. Your dissemination of the diary, for the cultivation of the power of the Heavenly Mandate for the purpose of refining the false into true, truly opened my eyes. Had this lad not treasured your diary as a supreme treasure, constantly studying it day and night, I wouldn't have realized it!

A diary as proof of Dao, you truly are a daring young man!" Dugu Jiudrink slowly stated. Realizing this had made Dugu Jiudrink repeatedly change the original plan for Tan Shuchang.

True Immortal bloodlines are commonplace, but a True Immortal bloodline of such talent is rare. Most simply rely on the power of their bloodline.

Tan Shuchang: "..."

His diary had been spread out and had this kind of use?

So to say, in the matter of the diary's dissemination, was he the one who benefited the most?

After reaching this conclusion, Tan Shuchang fell into a silence for a moment, for this discovery was truly... eerie.

"Without reservation, the force I belong to also has a plan similar to the righteous grand strategy of Tujian Mountain. The launch of this plan by my force necessarily involves the use of this Fate Path Bead.

If you are willing to forsake the Fate Path Bead, in addition to the promised supreme Sword Dao, I can also tell you some secrets, such as there being another Son of the Heavenly Mandate at Guan He Xi Tuo Mountain," Dugu Jiudrink said.

"I'm very thankful to Senior Dugu for sharing this matter with this junior, but I can only decline Senior's kind intentions," Tan Shuchang sighed lightly. The Supreme Sword Dao sounded like no ordinary method, as it could easily make one think of the concept of the Five Supremes.

The Five Supremes: Supreme Ease, Supreme Ultimate, Supreme Simplicity, Supreme Beginning, Supreme First.

To dare to name it the Supreme Sword Dao and to be considered by Dugu Jiudrink as an item for trade, this sword technique was definitely of the level of the Heavenly Power Treasured Tome, or even surpassing it.

But the issue was, Tan Shuchang truly had no talent to speak of when it came to the Sword Dao!

"This is the method of the Mount Tu Jian to solidify Qingfeng and transform it into the Edgeless Sword..." Tan Shuchang recognized it, having slain an elder from Mount Tu Jian who had mastered this technique.

"So, it was Mount Tu Jian that injured Dai Huanzhen?"

Tan Shuchang's eyes couldn't help but darken somewhat, for wasn't this his newly accepted nominal disciple who had just died? However, at this moment, a bit of gloomy qi gathered, and then Tan Shuchang saw a figure emerging from Dai Huanzhen's body.

This caused Tan Shuchang to look on in astonishment, and immediately he reached out and drew this ghost into his sleeve.

Then, to avoid being detected by the Yin underworld messengers, he went straight back to the peculiar game.

Shortly after Tan Shuchang left, as a chill breeze blew in, two dark figures indeed appeared at the spot. However, this time, the two figures could only look around blankly.

The corpse on the ground indeed showed signs of a ghost's emergence, but where was the ghost?

Had the wind carried it off to the Land of Yin and Darkness?

...

At this location, apart from the messengers of the underworld and Dai Huanzhen's corpse on the ground, there were two other figures.

They were disciples from the Sword Temple.

They had been there from the beginning to the end, but due to the suppression of the heavens and the earth, Tan Shuchang couldn't see these two Sword Temple disciples even if they were standing face-to-face.

The two Sword Temple disciples could see Tan Shuchang but were also unable to interact with him.

Originally, these two Sword Temple disciples had been summoned by Dugu Jianyin, who could have expected to witness Tan Shuchang befuddle their Uncle Dugu with words and then suddenly take action, killing both their Uncle Dugu and his newly accepted nominal disciple.

Because the strength left by Dugu Jianyin, when overwhelmed by a cultivator who had practiced for four years, was just too unbelievable, these two disciples were so shocked that they failed to notice that concealed Sword Qi.

Moreover, as the power of Dugu Jianyin dissipated from Dai Huanzhen, it influenced their judgment, leading these two disciples to this conclusion.

"Is this the man of this generation whom the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority has rekindled hope in? Indeed, he does live up to his reputation as a demon! Taking in a nominal disciple one moment, and killing him the next, this poor fellow died so unjustly."

"But he deserved it; who asked the boy to admire a demon?"

Then, the two Sword Temple disciples left. They needed to go back and discuss with their fellow disciples whether to spread this news across the realms.
