“Leave him to you?”


The two Hallmasters asked.


“Qi Yan, even if w.a.n.g Hong Dao is heavily wounded, you’re still no match for him” Zhao Wu Chui couldn’t help but remind him.


“I know, but this is our only solution” Gu Qing Shan answered.


“You want to set up a trap for him… but w.a.n.g Hong Dao is also an expert at setting up such things, in fact he might be the best out of us all” Ye Ying Mei commented.


“Then do you have any other ideas?” Gu Qing Shan returned the question, “the current situation is going to end with either his or my death, so I’d rather risk my life and bet on a small chance than doing nothing”


“That won’t work either, we have to discuss this more thoroughly” Zhao Wu Chui shook his head.


“Let me and old Zhao discuss this between ourselves for a bit, you just wait there Qi Yan” Ye Ying Mei also said.


Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui then silently stared at each other, seemingly using their inner sight to communicate.


——they were actively discussing a solution to kill their own master.


Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan decided to just stay quiet.


He took his cup of tea and took another sip.


The current situation was one where both the sect master Qi Ruo Ya and the Grand Elder w.a.n.g Hong Dao have yet to return.


There were only two Virtualized realm cultivators in Guang Yang sect, Zhao Wu Chui and Ye Ying Mei who were both on Qi Yan’s side for now.


Truthfully, from the very start, the only people who posed a serious threat to Gu Qing Shan were these two Hallmasters.


——they were both w.a.n.g Hong Dao’s disciples.


If you think about this, it’s quite ironic.


The elder went to kill the sect master.


Disciples betrayed their master.


All of their hearts were as black as tar.


All of them held some sort of ill will towards each other.


If w.a.n.g Hong Dao treated his disciples well, gaining their respect, then in this crucial situation, even if there was the lure of a new world, the two Hallmasters might still have taken his side.


However w.a.n.g Hong Dao was not only distrusting by nature, but his desire to control was so intense that he held hostility towards his own disciples.


w.a.n.g Hong Dao had used the cruelest methods of control on his two disciples.


Thanks to that, his two disciples didn’t dare go against his wishes.


But when it came to a pivotal moment, everything could be overturned at the drop of a hat.


Just like right now, when w.a.n.g Hong Dao wasn’t in the sect.


Having held thoughts of rebellion from the very start, once they heard Gu Qing Shan’s story and got news of a new world, they instantly betrayed w.a.n.g Hong Dao.


They only wanted to be free from their master…


After taking a sip of tea, Gu Qing Shan began to think about the entire situation from start to end.


For the moment, he didn’t need to worry about his own life and death.


The real question was how they’re going to kill w.a.n.g Hong Dao.


Cryptic realm…


I don’t know anything about it.


Gu Qing Shan held the cup and took another sip.


Rakshasa’s Daughter’s jade mask was still on the table.


The situation before was so tense that every word could mean his life or death, so he didn’t pay too much attention to this mask.


But now that he was able to calm down, Gu Qing Shan had a feeling of unease.


Rakshasa Peak was the only big sect left that still hasn’t escaped from this world.


While being their sect master, Rakshasa’s Daughter gave him this mask.


What is her goal for doing this?


Anyone who claims that it was because Rakshasa’s Daughter held some sort of feeling for Qi Yan would be telling the biggest joke of the century.


At least, Gu Qing Shan himself doesn’t believe it.


So this mask’s existence must hold some sort of meaning.


Since Rakshasa’s Daughter’s pet white fox isn’t here, I can actually take some time to study the mask.


Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan took the mask in his hand.


Without any warning, the War G.o.d UI began to blink in front of his eyes.


While shocked, Gu Qing Shan suppressed his reflex and did not drop the mask.


Instead he held the mask up to his eye level, observing it like it was a piece of art.


He made sure to make no mistake during the entire process.


Gu Qing Shan carefully studied the mask, enjoying Rakshasa’s Daughter’s beauty.


At the corner of his eyes, he was actually focused on the War G.o.d UI.


Because at the bottom, the icon for [War G.o.d Skills] was glowing a blood-red color.


Large blood-red letters appeared in the middle of the UI.


[You’ve discovered Rakshasa’s Daughter’s mask]


[You’ve received The face of Rakshasa]


[The face of Rakshasa, wondrous item, techniques used as follow:]


[Technique: Mystery of All Things Equal]


[Mystery of All Things Equal: By comprehending the basic composition of any object, you gain the ability to transform yourself into that object]


[Description: You have to gather enough of the object to be able to learn its basic composition to disguise yourself as that object]


[Note: ‘All Things’ refers to objects that do not have a soul]


[Special note: As this isn’t a true object, you are unable to learn the Mystery from it]


While the platform was silent, Gu Qing Shan could practically hear the thunder striking by his ears.


Gu Qing Shan tried his best to keep his expression calm.


Very casually, he placed the Rakshasa mask down, raised the cup of tea and took another sip.


——his gestures were the same as before, only now he had a pleased look on his face.


As if he had just gotten to enjoy the company of a stunning beauty.


Rakshasa’s Daughter’s mask really did manage to fully express her peerless beauty.


“Have you agreed on something yet?” Gu Qing Shan casually asked the two Hallmasters.


“Please wait” Ye Ying Mei replied.


She was still discussing with Zhao Wu Chui through inner sight.


Qing Rou and Wan Er were already dismissed, so Gu Qing Shan could only take the pot of tea and pour a cup for himself.


The spirit tea was still smoking hot.


The faint smoke that rose from the tea obscured his expression for a bit.


It was now that Gu Qing Shan could loosen his expression briefly.


I actually saw another kind of Mystery in this world!


He completely didn’t expect that at all.


The 100,000 year-old large corpse gave him the [Mystery of All Beings Equal]


[Mystery of All Beings Equal] allows him to transform into any being that has a soul.


And Rakshasa’s Daughter’s [Mystery of All Things Equal] allows her to transform into any ‘thing’ that doesn’t have a soul.


[War G.o.d Skills] even specifically mentioned something that he should pay attention to.


[As this isn’t a true object, you are unable to learn the Mystery from it]


In other words——-


The spirit jade mask was Rakshasa’s Daughter herself.


She had used [Mystery of All Things Equal] to turn into the spirit jade mask to hide next to Qi Yan.


She wanted to find out everything about Guang Yang sect.


She succeeded.


The strife between the Grand Elder and their sect master, the secret scheme of the three Hallmasters, the existence of two new worlds, she found out everything


Rakshasa’s Daughter already knows everything she wanted to know!


Gu Qing Shan suppressed his emotions from flowing and showed a serious expression.


“Let’s stop for a bit”


He told the two Hallmasters.


“Before we continue our discussion, there’s a favor I want to bother Hallmaster Zhao for” he said.


“What is it?” Zhao Wu Chui asked.


“That new disciple of mine is about to attempt breaking through to Sainted realm, since you’re in charge of the sect’s formations, old Zhao, I need your permission for that”


Zhao Wu Chui’s expression calmed down and spoke: “That’s hardly a bother”


He took out a tag and let it go.


The tag flew in front of ‘Qi Yan’.


“Sainted realm—– let me think for a bit, hmm, that’ll be the formation with the black runes among all the formations, just use this tag to activate the formation and it’ll lead him into the s.p.a.ce vortex to face the Sainted realm tribulation” Zhao Wu Chui explained.


Ye Fei Li reminded him: “Remember to use the tag first before activating the formation, otherwise the formation will transport your disciple randomly”


Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Of course I know that, but that disciple of mine is quite a troublemaker, and a sword cultivator as well, if he likes adventuring I wouldn’t be able to stop him”


“No, this isn’t something for you to joke about” Zhao Wu Chui sternly spoke.


As a cultivator, he still cared a little bit about such a good swordsmans.h.i.+p seed like ‘Gu Qing Shan’.


This little s.h.i.+t Qi Yan has never properly taken a disciple so if he doesn’t tell him everything clearly, “Gu Qing Shan’s” fate might be a bit worrying.


Thinking that, Zhao Wu Chui spoke: “Qi Yan, since you still haven’t officially taken him in as a disciple, and you usually don’t have time to teach them anything, how about giving Gu Qing Shan to me, I’ll teach him the sect’s swordsmans.h.i.+p”


“You should deal with the demonic thing w.a.n.g Hong Dao put in your body first before worrying about anything else” Gu Qing Shan curtly replied.


Zhao Wu Chui was unable to argue.


Seeing that, Ye Ying Mei tried mediating between them: “The s.p.a.ce vortex is too vast and too violent, we aren’t able to see the end of it so if the formation randomly throws him somewhere, we might not be able to get him back”


“So make sure to be stern and tell him to use the tag” Ye Ying Mei told him again.


“Of course I know that” Gu Qing Shan put the tag away.


He then changed the subject, asking: “What about your discussion? Do you have a solution yet?”


Ye Ying Mei answered: “Truthfully, we did think of a solution to deal with w.a.n.g Hong Dao”


“What solution?” Gu Qing Shan asked.


He was looking at Ye Ying Mei but kept part of his attention on the Rakshasa’s Daughter spirit jade mask on the table.


The Rakshasa mask silently sat on the table, unmoving.


She has sat there all this time.


She has been earnestly listening to the secret scheme of the 3 Hallmasters of Guang Yang sect.
