Chapter 716 The mastermind behind this is you!
Because Zhou Qing was also present, the heavenly realm master in the dark did not take direct action.

This is not to say that Zhou Qing’s strength has become so earth-shattering that even the masters of the Heavenly Realm dare not mess around.

But people like him usually have some protective items given by their elders.

The master of Shuiyue Peak did give it to him before he left Xuandu Temple and went to Yujing.

Once other heavenly realm masters attack him, the protective object will naturally be triggered and the power of the Shuiyue Peak Master will be manifested.

Among the protective gear, the power left by the Lord of Shuiyue Peak is certainly not enough to fight against a true master of the heavenly realm.

That power can manifest as the Lord of Shuiyue Peak. When facing an overly powerful enemy, his real role is not to fight, but to negotiate with the enemy.

This is my disciple from Xuandu Temple. The power I leave here is no match for yours, but if you must kill him, you should also consider the consequences of offending Xuandu Temple. It is better to let him go. It will be wonderful if we can make money in harmony.
This kind of protective gear, to be precise, is used to activate the face ability...

If we go by the story, a person with great luck like Zhou Qing usually doesn't have these things on him. Instead, the villains who are enemies of the person with great luck have more and more amulets given by their elders.

Then they started beating the younger ones, then the older ones, in an endless cycle. However, the background of the person with great luck was useless, just like he had no background at all...

But that was just a story after all. In reality, it would have been better if Zhou Qing didn't have Tianjing as his backer, but the current situation is that he does, and the head of Shuiyue Peak has not been demoted. When Zhou Qing goes out, she certainly can't help but make preparations.

Now that we have such a protective item, the problem arises. For Tianjing, the distance between Tai'an County and Yujing City is very close.

If Zhou Qing's protective gear is touched, the power will speed up the arrival of the Shuiyue Peak Master.

The second problem is that the characteristics of each family's Heavenly Realm masters are very obvious. No matter how hard you try to hide, you cannot conceal your identity in front of another Heavenly Realm master, unless your situation is extremely special.

For example, it has the ability to change so realistically that it is impossible to tell them apart.

In this ambush, the murderers covered their faces with masks and their bodies with black robes in order to avoid revealing their identities.

But if the Heaven Realm took direct action, the identity of the Earth Realm would be concealed, but the identity of the Heaven Realm would be exposed. What would be the point of covering it up...

If Zhou Qing was killed by a disciple from some force with similar cultivation level to him, then we can only say that he was not as skilled as the other person and blamed himself for not living up to his expectations. Making enemies is making enemies, but in the underworld, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God, and everyone understands that.

But being killed by the Heaven Realm because of its strength is too strong. Unless you are a member of the Demonic Path and Xuandu Temple cannot find you, the situation would be very serious.

If you are a casual cultivator in the celestial realm, with no ties and if you run fast enough, then you will have to spend the rest of your days being wanted. But if you come from a certain sect, then we will definitely find you and settle the score with you.

Even if the dark heavenly realm did not attack Zhou Qing, it would only kill Taoist Tiemu and then leave immediately.

The leader of Shuiyue Peak was also able to get a glimpse of the situation at the scene from the amulet given to Zhou Qing, and then identify the identity of Hidden Tianjing.

It's also hard to hide.

If the news that he ambushed and killed a famous Earth Realm master in order to steal his inheritance were to get out, then the reputation of his own and his Taoist school would be ruined and they would face a crisis of trust.

This is something that many sects do not allow to happen, and the more orthodox the sect appears to be, the more careful they will be about it.

There are some things we can do that you can't say.

As for the three men in black robes who have been captured by the Lord of Shuiyue Peak, it can be seen from the current situation that they are obviously pawns that can be abandoned at any time.

Even if they have the ability to kill Zhou Qing, it is very likely that the forces of the Dark Sky Realm will not be involved.

Taoist Tiemu figured it all out, so he was very grateful to Zhou Qing and the master of Shuiyue Peak. He thanked them once again earnestly and sincerely.

It was so close that he would lose the inheritance he had just obtained along with his life.

At the same time, Taoist Tiemu couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Just now, his means of communication had been restricted by the formation and he could not contact the outside world at all.

But he didn't expect that the master of Shuiyue Peak would come to support him. No wonder Zhou Qing was so calm.

I just don’t know if it was Zhou Qing who contacted them, or if the Lord of Shuiyue Peak was already prepared.

The head of Shuiyue Peak said, "There are many Heaven Realm masters in Yujing City. I have never met him in person and have not been able to discern his identity. Can you recognize the identity of the person who escaped?"

Zhou Qing and Taoist Tiemu shook their heads together, and the latter explained:
"That person deliberately concealed his identity. Whether it is the divine weapon or the Taoist method, it does not correspond to the masters of the Daluo Realm in Yujing City that I know of, and it is not the famous Taoist method of each family."

"The top-grade divine weapon he used was not his own divine weapon. Although the power of his Taoist methods was quite impressive, the attainments he displayed were not in line with his realm. I guess he did not spend much time practicing normally."

Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Whether it was that top-grade divine weapon or the Taoist magic he used, they were all deliberately changed to avoid the magic weapons and Taoist magic he usually used, so as not to be recognized."

"So, his true identity should be known to quite a few people."

If that Daluo Earth Realm expert was actually an unknown ghost in Yujing City, then there was no need for him to deliberately use unfamiliar earth artifacts and Taoist magic just now.

He did not use his own divine weapon, nor did he use the Taoist method he was best at. This had some impact on the strength of the man in black robe, so that the golden puppet was able to hold him back for a longer time.

The reason why we are willing to change even if it affects our actual performance only proves one thing.

Either his true identity is very famous, or his natal magic weapon and the Taoist techniques he practices are very unique. As long as he uses them, people can tell at a glance where he comes from.

“But even if his attainments in Taoism are not high, the quality is not low. Among the practitioners in the Daluo realm that I know, there are several whose main Taoism quality is not as good as his. That top-grade divine weapon is also quite powerful.”

Taoist Tiemu said in a deep voice:

"In addition to his main Taoist magical power, he can also practice a number of high-level magical powers, which can conceal his identity at any time. He also has a master of the Heaven Realm to protect him. He can perfectly change his aura and power, and wear a black robe and mask to conceal his appearance..."

“Not many forces in Yujing City have such a background.”

Zhou Qing nodded in approval, "Yes, this is a really deep background."

At least the Ling family, who are at the Daluo realm, cannot possibly have such performance.

In addition to his main Taoist magical powers, he also possesses another extremely high-level Taoist system to conceal his identity. It can be imagined that his main Taoist magic will only be more powerful.

He then randomly took out a top-grade artifact, but no one recognized it.

A force of the Ling family's level doesn't have that ability.

Although the Ling family is not first-rate, with a master of the heavenly realm in charge, it is not a bad force in any case. It is undoubtedly a famous family.

But the top-grade divine weapon is also a treasure to the Ling family.

In Yujing City, there are only a few forces with such deep foundation.

The Shuiyue Peak Master said, "There are also these three souls. Do you recognize them?"

The three people who were captured were now only in the form of souls, and their true appearance had been revealed.

Taoist Tiemu took one look at them and became extremely angry.

"Jian De, Feng Ya, Dao Ri, it turned out to be you three! You actually betrayed me!"

After hearing these three names, Zhou Qing understood.

In the intelligence about Taoist Tiemu that he had read before, there was information about these three people. They were considered good friends of Taoist Tiemu.

Although they were not the best friends, they were still in close contact. I never expected that he would stab Taoist Tiemu in the back.

Taoist Tiemu's face turned ashen, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth when he spoke.

"No wonder the Taoist martial arts you used in the battle just now were all very ordinary. None of them matched your realm. It turns out you were afraid of being recognized by me!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qing suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.

When he was fighting with the man in black robe just now, the other side either used ordinary attacks or ordinary martial arts, and he didn't have any moves with great power at all.

It turns out he was also hiding.

But although they are all in Tibet, there is a huge gap between these three and the one in Daluo realm.

Other people don't need to major in Taoism, but they also have a set of high-level Taoist methods to use. The three of them don't need to major in Taoist martial arts, so they can only use some low-level, mediocre methods.

Taoist Tiemu was good friends with these three people and he must be aware of their famous magical powers, but it was definitely impossible for him to know even some of their minor skills.

Zhou Qing thought of another thing and said in surprise:
"Those black robes and masks are very powerful. They actually changed the aura and power of these three people to the point where even the Pavilion Master can't recognize them."

Among good friends, each must be very familiar with the nature of the other's power. Even if they don't use their signature magical powers, as long as their true power is displayed, they can basically recognize it.

Take Bai Ruoyue for example. Even if she disguised herself as another person, as long as Zhou Qing sensed a ray of her true energy, he would be able to identify her true identity directly.

It's just a physical disguise and is actually useless.

Zhou Qing took a look at the three black robes and three masks that were not damaged by Shuiyue Peak. These things were quite interesting and ordinary forces would never be able to produce them.

To some extent, such rare treasures can demonstrate one's profoundness better than any magical artifact, Taoist magic or martial arts.

Taoist Tiemu asked, "Why? Why are you doing this?"

The thorough warrior named Jian De begged for mercy:

"Tiemu, we were bewitched. We don't want this to happen."

"Who bewitched you? Who was the person who came with you?"

"We don't know his identity either. When we communicated with him, we never saw his real body. Not long after you borrowed the puppet from Fengya five years ago, that person found Fengya and asked him to keep an eye on you. Then Fengya contacted us... It's Fengya, they all belong to Fengya..."

The head of Shuiyue Peak waved her hand, and the three people died instantly. The light spots scattered. She stared at these light spots, and finally shook her head and said:
"As they said, the three of them had never seen the man behind the scenes and did not know his identity."

Given the strength of the power behind that person, it would be impossible to trace the cause and effect through memory.

"The three were attracted by the benefits given by the person behind the scenes and became your spies. After this incident, each of them will get a top-grade earth weapon and a technique."

Zhou Qing thought to himself that this was quite generous.

Taoist Tiemu closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. "It's me who doesn't know people well."

Zhou Qing said, "You can't judge a person by his appearance, but you can judge his heart by his appearance. This is not your fault, Pavilion Master."

This time, he was purely implicated and suffered an unexpected disaster. If he had not come here with Taoist Tiemu, he would not have encountered such a problem at all.

However, Zhou Qing did not have any opinion towards Taoist Tiemu because he was also a victim and could not be blamed.

All I can say is that opportunity is what moves people.

The inheritance of a Heavenly Puppet Master is indeed worth taking action.

The puppet school of Da Qi is not prosperous, but the inheritance of the Heavenly Puppet Master is already top-notch.

The head of Shuiyue Peak said, "Let's go back to Yujing first."

Zhou Qing nodded and prepared to leave, but Taoist Tiemu was silent for a moment and said:

"I'm not going back to Yujing."

Zhou Qing looked over and asked, "What does Pavilion Master mean?"

Taoist Tiemu looked serious and said:
"There are only a few forces in Yujing that have such a strong foundation. Although they did not reveal their identities this time, they have already set their sights on me, that's for sure."

"The fact that I received the master's inheritance has been exposed. Yujing is no longer safe for me."

"No matter which family is targeting me, if I continue to stay in Yujing, as long as they don't give up, they will always find a chance to attack me. Compared to them, I am too weak and have no power to resist."

Yujing Mingshang is indeed bright, peaceful and orderly.

But the bigger the place, the more darkness there is behind the scenes. If the people behind the scenes are really determined to get Taoist Tiemu, then staying in Yujing is actually a slow death.

The rules always restrict the weak. Even if the forces behind the scenes do not directly trample on the rules, they have countless ways to circumvent the restrictions of the rules.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "Has Pavilion Master guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes?"

Taoist Tiemu was silent, glanced at the Shuiyue Peak Master, and then said:

"I suspect it's the Royal Family."

"..."

Coincidentally, Zhou Qing also suspected Qi Baishi.

In Yujing, there are not many forces with such a background, and the most famous among them is undoubtedly the Qi Bai family.

To be honest, even if other forces killed Taoist Tiemu and the matter was eventually exposed, people would at most talk about it behind his back. For them, it would not have much of an impact, and no one would avenge Taoist Tiemu.

Xuandu Temple killed Taoist Tiemu, so what?

Some people may say that Xuandu Temple is arrogant, domineering, cruel and ruthless, but this does not affect the status and development of Xuandu Temple.

Reputation is only useful when I care about it. If I don’t care, then it doesn’t matter.

But the royal family is different. As the heads of the dynasty, they need reputation and want to be as great and glorious as possible.

The Sima family of Jin had a bad reputation, so it was difficult to attract others to serve them loyally. Most people who were loyal to the Sima family of Jin were worried that they would be stabbed in the back one day, and often worked without putting in any effort. This was a lesson learned from the past.

The imperial court, clans, and normal families are still different.

In Zhongzhou, the most powerful is the royal family.

It is indeed reasonable to list him as the first suspect.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that other forces are not suspected, but the royal family is the most suspicious and is the first suspect.

As for the royal family, why would they covet Taoist Tiemu's inheritance?

You have a lot of money, so aren't you interested in another sum of money?

Moreover, even if the royal family as a whole is not interested in Tiemu Taoist's inheritance, people within the royal family may not be interested.

"I know someone in the royal family named Bai Yuncheng, who is at the Daluo Earth Realm. He is a more powerful Earth Puppet Master than me."

Taoist Tiemu said, "Before, Bai Yuncheng took the initiative to discuss the Way of Puppetry with me, and said that he was willing to exchange the inheritance of the Way of Puppetry with me, but I refused."

"I have some suspicion that the person who escaped just now was him."

If it was really someone from the royal family who was plotting against Taoist Tiemu, then he would be seeking death if he returned to Yujing.

He is the one who made the rules for Yujing. How can Taoist Tiemu play tricks on him?

"Then where do you want to go, Pavilion Master? Do you want to join Xuandu Temple?"

Zhou Qing said: "Master can introduce you."

The head of Shuiyue Peak nodded, "Xuandu Temple welcomes Pavilion Master Tiemu."

It is also a credit to have recruited a fairly trustworthy Earth Realm expert into the sect.

In fact, after Taoist Tiemu became a Earth Puppet Master, many forces invited him to join, even the royal family invited him, but Tiemu refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Shuiyue."

Taoist Tiemu rejected the invitation, "But I am used to freedom, and I have no plans to join any faction for the time being. I just want to find a place to practice in peace."

Now that the inheritance has been obtained, the most important thing for Taoist Tiemu to do next is to digest the inheritance.

Refining puppets is secondary, the most important thing is to see if you can improve your own realm!

Taoist Tiemu was in deep thought, wondering where he should go. He looked into the distance from time to time. At a certain moment, his gaze passed over Zhou Qing, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"Zhou Qing, I remember you were born in Black Cloud Town?"

Zhou Qing was slightly startled and nodded in agreement.

"Tianzhou, Black Cloud Town..."

Taoist Tiemu repeated it once, his eyes sparkling.

"I wonder if I can go to Black Cloud Town for a while?"

"Don't worry, when I get there, I won't reveal my identity. I will hide among the people and not be discovered."

"..."

Zhou Qing was stunned by Taoist Tiemu's idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a place suitable for meditation.

First of all, it is far enough away from Yujing. As long as Taoist Tiemu’s whereabouts are not exposed, who would know that he would go there?
Secondly, there is a blessed land in Heiyun Town. After arriving there, if Taoist Tiemu handles things properly and establishes a relationship with the Yun family, he can also use the blessed land to practice, and it will not affect his path.

Taoist Tiemu wanted to hide his identity, but he didn't really want to return to the mortal world. He still had to practice and refine puppets, which required a high environment.

Whether it is to stay away from disputes or to practice puppetry, Black Cloud Town is a good choice. It is better than just finding a random place in the wilderness.

"It is of course fine for Pavilion Master to go to Black Cloud Town, but when you get there, please keep a low profile and don't reveal your identity."

Zhou Qing said, "That is the territory of the Black Mountain Holy Land. If you are discovered after you go there, you can say that you are my friend. Don't conflict with the Yun family."

"I understand, don't worry."

Taoist Tiemu has experienced the feeling of being betrayed, and having fought side by side with Zhou Qing, he now values ​​Zhou Qing even more.

He witnessed Zhou Qing's strength and felt fortunate that he had never had any ill intentions towards Zhou Qing.

Otherwise, before he got the gold and silver puppets, he probably wouldn't be Zhou Qing's opponent...

Taoist Tiemu is willing to make friends with such a promising young man.

"When will the Pavilion Master leave?"

"Let's go now, hide our identities along the way, and reach Black Cloud Town as quickly as possible!"

Pavilion Master Tiemu was not willing to return to Yujing at all.

"Zhou Qing, when you return to Yujing, I will trouble you to go to Yukui Pavilion and tell my registered disciples in the pavilion that I will not be returning. Let them handle Yukui Pavilion. Whether they want to sell off the property or stick with it is up to them."

"If there is any problem, you can ask them to go to my friends to solve it."

Taoist Tiemu paused and laughed at himself.

"Only if my friends still recognize me."

There is no need to worry about this. Among Taoist Tiemu's friends in Yujing, there must be sincere people. It is impossible that all of them are spies.

Zhou Qing agreed to this matter and also said:

"I was born in Taibai Martial Arts School in Heiyun Town. I would also like to ask Pavilion Master to go and tell my senior brothers after arriving in Heiyun Town that my master and his family will be back soon."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this."

Taoist Tiemu said goodbye to the two men, then left and headed straight towards Tianzhou without any hesitation.

Can't afford to provoke, can I still not hide?

slip away.
