This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 556: Chapter 47 Heart Sword

The conversation above the tavern was still continuing.

“Lu Qingshan,” Spirit Moon, upon noticing that Lu Qingshan’s conversation with Lin Yao seemed to be coming to an end, finally interjected, “I also have something to remind you of.”

“Hmm?”

“Have you offended anyone recently?” Spirit Moon asked earnestly.

“Why do you ask?” Lu Qingshan wondered.

As for whether he had provoked anyone?

In the world of cultivators, having enemies was quite the norm.

“I saw a tinge of crimson in your fate, but it’s very faint and almost dissipating,” Spirit Moon said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed as she glanced at Lin Yao by her side.

This was information she had not previously mentioned to Lin Yao.

“Fate?” Lu Qingshan raised an eyebrow.

“Sister Spirit Moon has a divine natural ability to see a person’s fate for a short period into the future,” Lin Yao seemed unbothered by Spirit Moon’s secrecy and took the initiative to explain to Lu Qingshan.

Peering into fate, this talent, was absolutely heaven-defying.

Lu Qingshan felt a shift in his heart, viewing Spirit Moon in a new light…

—This time, he truly took notice of Spirit Moon.

“The color crimson represents the intent of bloody slaughter, which means you were likely to face a blood disaster soon.

However, since this crimson shade is nearly dissipating, it indicates that for some reason, this blood disaster has suddenly vanished,” Spirit Moon solemnly said, “which is why your current situation is very dangerous.”

Although it had disappeared, the fact that it had existed at all meant that there was a high possibility it could arise again in the future.

“How long exactly does this ‘short period into the future’ refer to?” Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment before asking again.

“I can’t give a precise time, but it shouldn’t exceed half a day,” Spirit Moon replied after some thought.

Half a day…

Lu Qingshan mused.

This meant that the nearly happened blood disaster was right after he left the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall.

As for why it was nearly dissipating.

He had a guess in his mind, and it was probably because of the fear of his master, Xia Daoyun’s presence.

Xia Daoyun’s accompaniment this time had saved him from this blood disaster.

However, with his current strength, even if he couldn’t win a fight, he could escape in most situations. To be deemed a blood disaster…

Lu Qingshan reasoned for a moment and judged that it must be the coordinated attack of three or more Void Refining Late Stage cultivators sealing off his retreat that could trouble him.

And to pose a threat to his life in the presence of the Power of the Mountains and Seas, either he would have been taken to an absolute place with neither mountains nor seas, or… a Divine Transformation Cultivator had taken action!

The latter possibility seemed more credible.

If a Divine Transformation Cultivator were dispatched against me, that would indeed be a big move.

Still, was this hidden enemy from Marquis Luotang… or from the mastermind behind Gui Yuan True Venerable’s assassination attempt on me?

If it was the mastermind, that meant the attempt on his life was just the beginning.

Only an organization capable of continuously sending people like the Netherworld could do something like this.

Lu Qingshan’s suspicion that Gui Yuan True Venerable was from the Netherworld grew stronger.

In fact, given the Netherworld’s modus operandi, before the ultimate battle commenced, they would spare no expense in dealing with anyone who threatened the Demon Race or could help the Demon Race defeat the Human Race.

For instance, in the ‘Netherworld Demonic Shadow’ version, the Netherworld had directly dispatched agents who had been lurking in the Northern Domain for many years, depleting the treasures accumulated over ten thousand years, only to assassinate numerous Pill Masters, Formation Masters, and Artifact Masters in the Northern Domain.

These cultivators, proficient in a hundred different arts of cultivation, were not prominent in strength and extremely vulnerable in one-on-one magical combat.

Yet, once in large-scale battles, they could manifest effects unmatched by others, naturally making them prime targets for the Netherworld.

Dispatching cultivators across two realms, was my value to the Demon Race already so significant?

Lu Qingshan harbored doubts.

In principle, that shouldn’t be the case.

After all, without a crystallized dao seed, the future of a cultivator was uncertain.

Therefore, at the Netherworld, cultivators below Void Refining were not high on the kill list.

Why then was he an exception?

Unless there was something of great value to the Netherworld on me that even I am unaware of.

A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Qingshan’s mind.

“Thank you for the reminder; I will be more vigilant.” No matter how much he thought, in the end, it was just unfounded speculation, and Lu Qingshan, coming back to his senses, thanked Spirit Moon.

“Since the bloody aura has dissipated, you should be safe for a short time, but it’s hard to say after that,” Spirit Moon said worriedly.

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

Actually, if he truly had more time, he wouldn’t be worried at all.

His fear was that they wouldn’t give him enough time.

“Young Master Lu…” Lin Yao pursed her lips, looking somewhat concerned, “Do you need me to take a look at your palm lines?”

“I have only recently started practicing the divination of the Spirit Art, and at present, I can only divine a rough indication of good or bad luck through palmistry,” Lin Yao admitted shyly.

Although it was only a rough indication of fortune, it was still a secret technique within the category of divining the mysteries of fate.

Indeed, the Spirit Art was extraordinary; to possess such capabilities so early was impressive.

Unfortunately, practicing this art comes at the expense of one’s lifespan.

“I don’t believe palm lines represent anything,” Lu Qingshan shook his head, declining the offer.

He greatly appreciated that Lin Yao was willing to wear down her life for him, but he wouldn’t let her sacrifice her lifespan for something like this.

Lu Qingshan extended his hand towards Lin Yao, tightly clenched his fingers into a fist, and with a light laugh said, “I only believe in this.”
