Chapter 204: Doubt

Inside a secret room.

Zhong Ruhao asked Shi Qingxuan to sit down and raised his hand for a few restraints before he said: "Elder Shi, what do you think of this person Wu Jue?"

Shi Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he replied, "His methods are very strange, but his aura of killing is too heavy. He does everything according to his own preferences. It is difficult to control him because the rules are nonexistent to him."

It was not that that guy difficult to control, rather, it was impossible to control him at all.

Zhong Ruhao knew what Shi Qingxuan said, but this was not the answer he wanted.

He shook his head and pointed directly, "What I want to say is, have you had any grudges with him?"

"Grudges?"

Shi Qingxuan frowned slightly, "What grudges can I have with him? Since he joined the Seraphic Sword Sect until now, I haven't said a word to him. Even if there are real grudges, it is probably because I am an elder who supports you."

"Really no grudges have happened?" Zhong Ruhao didn't believe it.

"Really!" Shi Qingxuan was very sure.

"This is weird..."

Zhong Ruhao lowered his head and thought, "Since there haven't been any grievances, why do I feel that he has been paying attention to you? Is it possible that he falls in love with you?"

"Supreme Elder Zhong, don't you be kidding me," Shi Qingxuan felt a chill. "He can fall in love with anyone, but that person can never be me!"

Zhong Ruhao smacked his lips and asked, "Then what about before Wu Jue enters the Seraphic Sword Sect? Could it be there was hatred he had forged before?"

"That's impossible. I've never been to the Qi Kingdom. I don't even know where Eastern Woods City is. How could I have an enmity with Wu Jue?" Shi Qingxuan shook his head and denied.

After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, Wu Jue's strange methods reminded me of a person."

"Who?" Zhong Ruhao asked quickly.

"Mo Xiu of the Yan Kingdom," Shi Qingxuan seemed to worry that Zhong Ruhao didn't know about Mo Xiu, and briefly described the information he knew.

Zhong Ruhao didn't think much at first. After listening to Shi Qingxuan's description, he was very excited instantly, "It's him!"

"Hmm…"

Shi Qingxuan was slightly surprised.

"It can't be wrong. Wu Jue is Mo Xiu, not Wu Jue of Eastern Woods City in the Qi Kingdom. He deceived the entire Seraphic Sword Sect from the very beginning!"

Zhong Ruhao was very sure, "There is no such a coincidence in the world, although I don't know how he concealed everyone's eyes and ears and turned into Wu Jue, who became the Eastern Woods City of Qi Kingdom, and I didn't know how he escaped the censorship of our Seraphic Sword Sect's identity, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this point, he must be the Mo Xiu of Yan Kingdom!"

With that said, Shi Qingxuan also became a little suspicious.

According to the information he got, Mo Xiu of Yan Kingdom possessed many weird methods. It was said that his strength could be improved faster than anyone else. Moreover, when Wu Jue joined the Seraphic Sword Sect, his cultivation was in the Early-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm, and Mo Xiu more or less had the same cultivation base.

When Ji Linyuan saw that Wu Jue was too murderous, he didn't intend to let Wu Jue join the Seraphic Sword Sect, but Wu Jue would rather challenge Desolate Ridge to compete with the outer disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect and join the Seraphic Sword Sect.

There must be an ulterior motive for joining the Seraphic Sword Sect by doing everything possible. In addition to what Zhong Ruhao said, Wu Jue had been paying attention to him... If Wu Jue was Mo Xiu, everything would make sense.

Of course, there was also something wrong.

If Wu Jue was really that Mo Xiu, why had no one ever noticed that there was a problem with Wu Jue's appearance? It stood to reason that in front of these elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect, it was impossible for anyone to have a perfect disguise in terms of appearance. But from beginning to end, not to mention the appearance, they did not even find that Wu Jue's breath was wrong.

Also, there was nothing wrong with the recommendation letter from the Tang Family of Qi Kingdom. In other words, there was really such a figure as Wu Jue, and if Mo Xiu was to pretend to be Wu Jue perfectly, he must at least know Wu Jue's memory. He must know some of Wu Jue's habits, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape the identity check, and it would be impossible to hide the eyes and ears of the Tang Family in Eastern Woods City.

Could it be that Song Shenxue, who helped to check his identity, was bought by Mo Xiu a long time ago? Or was it that the people of the Tang Family in Eastern Woods City were helping Mo Xiu to give false testimony?

The possibility of Song Shenxue being bought was almost zero, and there was no possibility of perjury because Song Shenxue returned after examining Wu Jue's identity and provided detailed textual proof.

Although Shi Qingxuan hadn't read the original written proof, it was definitely a solid proof, and no one had ever doubted Wu Jue's identity.

No matter how he looked at it, Wu Jue was not like Mo Xiu.

"Elder Shi, what happened to the Yan Kingdom?" Zhong Ruhao asked suddenly.

After all, he was still in seclusion when the Yan Kingdom incident occurred and had not been in contact with him, so naturally, he didn't know what was going on.

Shi Qingxuan did not conceal, "At that time, it was not only our Seraphic Sword Sect who wanted to kill Mo Xiu, but also the people of the Alchemy League. However, that Mo Xiu and the Thousand Poison Sect's people got together and set up a poisonous barrier for thousands of miles. After the poisonous barrier was removed, it was impossible to enter the Yan Kingdom. Later, I found someone from the Thousand Poison Sect and ordered the person from the Thousand Poison Sect to solve the poisonous barrier..."

"What then?" Zhong Ruhao asked quickly.

"The people from the Thousand Poison Sect agreed, but after seeing it, they said that it would take a certain amount of time. At that time, the people from the Alchemy League were also there, so I thought about letting the people from the Alchemy League and the Thousand Poison Sect stay there, waiting for them to solve the poisonous barrier. When the barrier on the border is about to be broken, they will notify me, and then I will kill the Yan Kingdom..."

Shi Qingxuan said with a wry smile, "Some time ago, they did send me a message, saying that the poisonous barrier had been solved, but our Seraphic Sword Sect offended all the sects at once. In that case, how dare I leave the sect? If they already know the details of Spirit Island, wouldn't I go to the Yan Kingdom just to seek death?"

Zhong Ruhao nodded lightly and thought about it in secret.

As long as there was evidence that Wu Jue was Mo Xiu of Yan Kingdom, he had the confidence to make a comeback. Not only would Mo Xiu die, but Ji Linyuan, who supported that guy, would meet a bad end.

However, no evidence was available for the time being, so no matter how sure he was, it would only become unrealistic suspicion in the eyes of others.

Suspicion alone was useless. Only by showing definite evidence could he recover his power.

Thinking about it, he said, "I will send more people to stare at Wu Jue during this period, but I want to find evidence that he is Mo Xiu of the Yan Kingdom. So I guess you have to go to the Yan Kingdom."

As he said, he glanced at Shi Qingxuan, "I will order a few more people to cooperate with you, can you make a trip for it?"

"..."

Shi Qingxuan hesitated very much.

He just said that the Seraphic Sword Sect had offended all the sects, and leaving the Seraphic Sword Sect rashly was probably looking for death.

Besides, he only supported Zhong Ruhao, and never said that he would work his life for Zhong Ruhao and let him do such a high-risk thing. Naturally, he was reluctant.

Zhong Ruhao could somewhat see Shi Qingxuan's thoughts.

He was not angry, "Don't worry, you leave the Seraphic Sword Sect secretly. No one will know. I just want you to go to the Yan Kingdom to collect evidence. There is no need to show your face openly, and there is no need to contact people from the Alchemy League. In this way, people from all major sects should not find you, and doing things for me will not be of no benefit at all, and I will pay you accordingly."

...

Eastern Hedge Peak.

Mo Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

Zhong Ruhao thought that he had laid down several seals to isolate his secret room, and his conspiracy with Shi Qingxuan would not be known to anyone, but he did not know that Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness could completely penetrate the room and probe the content of the conversation of the two.

Zhong Ruhao only knew that Mo Xiu was paying attention to Shi Qingxuan, but he did not know that Mo Xiu had deliberately let him know about this situation.

On the one hand, Mo Xiu no longer needed to worry about the exposure of his identity, even if it was really exposed, it was nothing.

On the other hand, he needed to know Shi Qingxuan's plan, but he couldn't take the initiative to tell Shi Qingxuan that he was Mo Xiu of the Yan Kingdom, so that Shi Qingxuan could tell his plans for the Yan Kingdom.

In this case, as long as he paid more attention to Shi Qingxuan and aroused Zhong Ruhao's awareness, Zhong Ruhao would have doubts and talk to Shi Qingxuan.

After that, as long as the two of them were sharp enough, they would doubt his identity. In this way, Zhong Ruhao would inquire about the situation of Yan Kingdom, and Shi Qingxuan would give detailed information about his plans for the Yan Kingdom and the known situation of Yan Kingdom.

Of course, he didn't dare to guarantee that Zhong Ruhao and Shi Qingxuan would doubt his identity. But now, it seemed that people who could become the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect were nothing more than that.

Originally, Mo Xiu felt puzzled as, why Shi Qingxuan had been staying in the Seraphic Sword Sect and had not taken any action? Now, he understood.

It turned out that Shi Qingxuan did not act these days because Shi Qingxuan had already acted before that and called the people of the Thousand Poison Sect to crack the poisonous barrier. But because there was no use in the process of cracking the poisonous barrier, he went back to the Seraphic Sword Sect and waited.

When Shi Qingxuan had a place to deploy his next plan, the Seraphic Sword Sect suddenly offended all the sects so that Shi Qingxuan did not dare to leave the Seraphic Sword Sect, so he could only put the matter of the Yan Kingdom on hold.

At the end of the day, the Yan Kingdom was originally the site of the Seraphic Sword Sect. If Shi Qingxuan had not mobilized warriors from various secular countries to attack the barrier on the border of the Yan Kingdom, and asked the people from the Alchemy League and Thousand Poison Sect to break through that barrier, it was probably not that easy to enter the Yan Kingdom.

However, Shi Qingxuan said that the poisonous barrier was solved some time ago. Although according to speculation, it must have been after the trial on Spirit Island ended, but it must have only been several days.

In other words, the people of the Alchemy League and Thousand Poison Sect could break through the barrier at the border of Yan Kingdom and get in at any time.

He must prepare early, so as not to accidentally let the Alchemy League and Thousand Poison Sect kill his territory by surprise.

With his current cultivation base, it was not so easy to kill the Sea Core Realm experts, but there was also Xing Yuyan beside him.

Xing Yuyan, who had practiced the Flowing Jade Dharma Body, could easily shoot an Early-stage Sea Core Realm cultivator to death. If she exerted more power, she could also compete with a Middle-stage Sea Core Realm cultivator.

The only trouble was; how could he quietly send Xing Yuyan to the Yan Kingdom to help?
