David did not rashly enter the core area of the Xuantian Sword Sect, but stopped at a large market city where cultivators gathered on the outskirts.
This market town, named Qingfeng Town, was the most important place for cultivators to trade and gather information under the jurisdiction of the Xuantian Sword Sect.
The buildings in this city were mostly made of bluestone, with sharp edges and corners, exuding the simplicity and coldness unique to sword cultivators.
The flow of people was very lively, most of them were sword cultivators carrying long swords, with steady steps and sharp eyes. When they spoke, their voices were not loud, but their words were clear and contained a firm tone.
David used a secret technique to suppress the fluctuations of his own qi and blood to the lowest level, only revealing an ordinary aura of around the seventh rank of the Human Immortal Realm.
Like a typical wild cultivator, he quietly blended into the crowd in the market.
At first he walked casually through the market, his eyes scanning the shops and stalls on both sides, but his ears were like the most advanced radar, picking up sound fragments from all directions and filtering out useful information.
“Have you heard? A few days ago, the newly discovered small spiritual stone vein in the Black Wind Gorge was again disturbed by those bastards from the Thousand Soul Demon Sect! This time it was even worse; they destroyed several of our main mine shafts and injured several of our junior brothers who were guarding them!”
“Hmph! Those cowardly rats are getting more and more arrogant! They must be trying to trick them because they saw that we’ve been distracted lately!”
“That’s right! It’s said that they’ve been moving around the outskirts of the Red Blood Plains a lot lately, gathering a lot of people and supplies, exuding a murderous aura. I wonder what kind of conspiracy they’re planning.”
“What other conspiracy could they possibly be planning? They’re definitely planning something big again! I’m sure their target is still our Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range! We need to remind the sect to strengthen our defenses!”
Hearing these comments filled with annoyance and wariness, David nodded slightly in agreement.
Very good. The enmity and suspicion among the lower level disciples had run so deep that this provided extremely fertile ground and a good foundation for his next plans.
Furthermore, the essence of this plan was to create irrefutable evidence that would convince the higher-ups of the Xuantian Sword Sect and encourage them to take decisive action.
David took out several pieces of high-quality blank jade from his storage ring, along with a rather strange kind of Thousand Illusion Spirit Mud that could simulate various energies.
And some damaged magical artifacts that were clearly emitting the cold and corrosive aura that was characteristic of the Thousand Soul Demon Sect’s techniques.
That jade slip and Thousand Illusion Spirit Mud were given to me by Hu Mazi previously.
David had many magical artifacts from the Thousand Soul Demon Sect, all of which he had stolen, and all of them were genuine.
