Chapter 825: Chapter 153 Yan Gui True Lord

An Jing had already noticed it a long time ago; the relationship between Luo Qinghui and Mou Yunying was obviously not normal intimacy. However, no one else seemed to have noticed? That could only mean their life experience might be a bit lacking.

Moreover, An Jing could also tell that the reason Luo Qinghui took this opportunity to explain things to him was to let him help Mou Yunying.

He was too shy to ask for help himself, but Luo Qinghui had no problem doing so, and An Jing didn’t mind; he was even quite interested.

As for now going public, it was mainly because it was no longer necessary to hide it. Luo Qinghui’s character wasn’t one to conceal things; naturally, he just told the truth.

"You’ve hidden deeply, sis!" "Well then, we should celebrate!" "Indeed, also to welcome An back to the sect. Our Bright Mirror Sect will open another peak. I’ll get something nice to celebrate!"

Upon hearing the public announcement of their relationship, everyone else got excited immediately. Even Shi Liang, who usually had a blank expression, smiled and loudly declared, "Last time, I made a good weapon for Senior Brother Heguang and got plenty of good wine. I’ll bring it out today for everyone to celebrate!"

An Jing now roughly understood why the Grandmaster had such a strong disapproval of Ming Heguang’s drinking—this guy probably had been using spiritual wine as payment within the sect, spreading the drinking culture and corrupting the next generation. Indeed, such a thing should be firmly suppressed.

"All right."

An Jing also liked this atmosphere—this kind of relaxed, friendly, and easy-going place was what he wanted and liked about a sect.

Although there were many deficiencies, the foundation was indeed good enough. Although the young generation of true transmissions had some questionable points, most of these seemed to be issues with the older generation.

As long as he started from the young generation, from himself, An Jing believed that in his hands, Bright Mirror Sect could certainly undergo nirvana rebirth and become the ideal sect he envisioned.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile and boldly declare, "Today, I’ll personally show my skills and let everyone taste my cooking!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at An Jing in astonishment. Their looks were only of one emotion: "Incredible." "You can cook?"

"What do you mean?"

An Jing was quite displeased with this: "Not only can I cook, but I’m also very skillful at it. It’s just that most of the time, I haven’t had the time and opportunity!"

The decision was made; next up was the preparation.

As the group temporarily dispersed, An Jing fell into contemplation in the forest while a figure approached.

"Eldest Senior, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Yeqi, who had been leading the team to repair the fortress earlier, did not overhear the exchange between the true transmissions—she wasn’t very interested, and knew well that An Jing would brief her on everything.

"I’m thinking, Mou Yunying can’t possibly be totally unaware."

Raising his hand and shielding the surroundings with Tai Shi Yuan Evil to eliminate any possible surveillance, An Jing said slowly, "It’s said that Taixu Divine Power is required to unlock it, but does Mou Yunying really not know? He has a martial meridian and is close to reaching the Divine Repository. His Inner Array Realm already contains some elements of Taixu Techniques, plus he can even convert between water and fire, yin and yang, which is much harder than typical Taixu Techniques."

"Mou Yunying and Zuo Tiannan... these two have the heaviest demonic qi. Coincidentally, Mou Yunying harbors secrets, while Zuo Tiannan’s Round Silk Peak precisely studies Taixu Techniques. Their relationship surely deepened because of this, thus they’ve been tainted by demonic qi in the same place."

"If nothing goes wrong, Round Silk Peak’s Yulun True Lord has issues, most likely connected to the Heavenly Demons."

Speaking thus, An Jing frowned slightly, "But Yulun True Lord belongs to the younger generation. He doesn’t need to prolong his life, so why would he deal with the Heavenly Demons? I can’t understand this point..."

"Is it possible that, as Ye Po True Lord said, he was body-seized by a Heavenly Demon?"

Gu Yeqi speculated, and An Jing nodded slightly, "Hmm, we can only assume that for now."

"And Shi Liang hardly has any demonic qi on him. I can almost definitively say that it should be techniques from Tianyi Demon Sect or Da Chen."

An Jing spoke with certainty, this was not conjecture but based on technology.

Both Da Chen and Tianyi Demon Sect had techniques targeting Heavenly Demons. Tianyi Demon Sect could even tame Heavenly Demons for the trial of awakening fate patterns. Even Jiexin, a Great Heavenly Demon, can only be exploited for its power—considered worse than the Heavenly Demons.

Da Chen’s utilization of heaven and earth power could effectively cleanse the demonic qi of Heavenly Demons. Divine weapons and earth veins were related technologies. Shi Liang’s Rising Light Peak was exactly the ’Artifact Peak’ of Bright Mirror Sect. If Universal Brightness True Lord had reasons to collaborate with Da Chen for technology exchange, Shi Liang’s anomaly would be explained.

"Bai Luo has no issues, but the problem lies with Concealing Shadow True Lord behind him."

Next, An Jing concluded about Concealing Shadow True Lord: "He lost his disciple and supposedly killed Suran Uncle. This was probably done by Taiming Sect. He is definitively not an internal spy of Taiming Sect. Excluding others, there remains only one possibility—he’s contacting Shangxuan Sect."

"I don’t know what terms Shangxuan Sect offered him, but surely it was to instigate mutual destruction within the Dust Li Five Sects. Concealing Shadow True Lord must resent Taiming Sect deeply. He’d gladly sacrifice much to take them down. Not only I, but the Grandmaster must have noticed this long ago."

After exchanges and observations with the true transmissions, An Jing basically analyzed all the internal spies: "Next, Yue Yunhe is a good person, and Mi Xinghan is ambiguous. He seems heavily burdened, likely knowing some things, but also probably doesn’t have sinister intentions. Someone truly guilty wouldn’t fail to show flaws in front of me."

"So the final issue lies with Luo Qinghui."

An Jing turned his head and looked in Luo Qinghui’s direction, narrowing his eyes: "Luo Qinghui tells me so much, even revealing his relationship with Mou Yunying. It certainly isn’t only to help Mou Yunying... What does she want to remind me of?"

"Moreover, she deliberately withheld the divine skill token from me. Though she seemed careless, as a talisman expert, she wouldn’t be stupid. This should be to grab my attention, to make me notice..."

Thinking this, An Jing took out the divine skill token given by Luo Qinghui, a golden-yellow talisman paper adorned with ethereal green-blue runes.

This divine skill token didn’t contain demonic qi, nothing peculiar could be seen on the surface. If there’s hidden information within...

An Jing couldn’t help but recall Luo Qinghui’s previous words.

"Only by mastering Taixu Divine Power, can Mou Yunying interpret the hidden information within."

If this was Luo Qinghui’s hint...

"Interesting." An Jing squinted, smiling: "Such caution, to conceal from whom, to convey a message to me?"

Others might find utilizing Taixu Divine Power for testing very exhausting, but not An Jing.

Besides, for the upcoming ’gathering,’ he was preparing to return to Tianyuan Realm to buy some spices and kitchenware. During his stay in Embracing the Void, his two Great Void Shuttle charges had already replenished, completely ready to use.

Think and do.

An Jing signaled Gu Yeqi to step back slightly—he didn’t mind showcasing the Great Void Passage to Gu Yeqi, but revealing it without necessity would bring her potential danger.

Gu Yeqi was sensible, turning around and not looking.

An Jing activated Subdue Evil and stepped into the Great Void Passage.

He didn’t choose to traverse to the Tianyuan Realm but stayed within the Great Void Passage.

At that moment, the divine skill token suddenly shone brightly, emitting boundless clear light.

Then, the clear light converged, forming a human shape.

Mirror Self

The divine skill imbued within the token turned out to be ’Mirror Self’!

And who sealed this divine skill?

It was Luo Qinghui’s Grandmaster, Yan Gui True Lord of Chuyao Peak!

Yan Gui True Lord, long-haired, with pale skin and red lips, looking extremely youthful as a martial artist, almost too young, like an older youth, comparable to An Jing’s age.

With an intense scholarly aura, he appeared more like a cultured lad from Da Chen, one who played instruments and recited poetry.

As soon as he saw An Jing, he sighed in relief: "Sure enough, you understood the hint... Thanks to young Luo’s effort, leading you to me."

"Yan Gui True Lord."

An Jing bowed in respect, not fearing this Mirror Self, knowing he could leave at will: "If you wanted to see me, you could’ve done so anytime, why resort to such complex means?"

Long story short

Yan Gui True Lord sighed, raising his hand to swipe his chest. Flesh and blood parted as Mirror Self revealed radiant brilliance.

At the core of the light was a mirror.

A mirror heavily tainted by demonic qi, filthy and mottled—Mirror Heart!

During the battle between Netherworld and Taiming Sect, I was tainted by demon techniques, a Heart Demon entered my body.

Explaining cause and effect in simple terms, speaking swiftly: Currently, only a few old True Lords could cure me, but some may be internal spies. I can only trust your Grandmaster, Chenyin True Lord.

I’m disturbed by the Heart Demon, unable to contact him. Connecting rashly with Chenyin would alert spies of my realization. I can only inform you via younger generations, for you to alert Chenyin.

An Jing was briefly stunned: "You’re the one tainted by demonic qi?"

What

Yan Gui True Lord was equally stunned: "Could there be others?"

An Jing didn’t immediately reply, requesting Subdue Evil’s analysis urgently: "Subdue Evil, quickly discern if Yan Gui True Lord’s demonic qi is the same source as Zuo Tiannan and Mou Yunying’s."

"No!"

Subdue Evil swiftly concluded, elaborating: "Yan Gui, Zuo Tiannan, and Mou Yunying’s demonic qi are entirely different, distinct and extremely dense!"

Hearing this, An Jing felt a darkness before him.

Three distinct sources of demonic qi?

—No, how many True Lords within Bright Mirror Sect are tainted by Heavenly Demons?!
