Will you sneak into the palace under the pretext of the moon-viewing party and look for clues then
Although Luo Jing confirmed this conjecture, he was still puzzled.
"Your stealth skills are so advanced, can't you just sneak into the palace? Why bother with so much trouble?"
Luo Jing asked: "Is the Great Yue Kingdom's palace more heavily guarded than the Soul Refining Sect?"
Ji Canghu was able to lurk in the Soul Refining Sect for many years, so theoretically it should be easy for him to go to the Dayue Kingdom Palace.
But the beautiful woman shook her head and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. Although I am proficient in the art of stealth, no matter how powerful the art is, it cannot make a person completely invisible."
"And even if you can become completely transparent and invisible, it doesn't mean you can enter everywhere."
"I sneaked into the Soul Refining Sect before, relying on surprise. No one knew I was going in."
"Right now, the palace of the Great Moon Kingdom is heavily guarded, and everyone is on guard against thieves stealing the Heavenly Demon Mask. If I go in and lurk at this time, wouldn't I be walking into a trap?"
"Not to mention that you are such a burden... If I bring you in, I'm afraid you'll be discovered after just a few steps."
"But if I don't take you in... hehe... I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, you will slip away."
Ji Canghu smiled cheerfully.
Luo Jing nodded slowly and said, "So we can only wait for the 15th day of August to watch the moon and enter the palace under the pretext of an invitation..."
Although the faceless demon's latent face-changing technique is unique in the world, it seems that the previous evaluation of her is still too high.
She didn't even have the confidence to sneak into the current Dayue Kingdom Palace. It seemed that in the world of cultivators, it was difficult to come and go without a trace.
After all, the existence of various barriers and spells are the natural enemies of people like Ji Canghu.
And it’s hard to overcome.
"Who is that old woman?" Luo Jing continued to gather information: "You seem to be very familiar with her... Could she also be from Central Plains?"
The faceless demon Ji Canghu used to roam around the Central Plains, so it seemed so abnormal that she came to the Western Regions.
Ji Canghu did not hide it, nodded and smiled: "Yes, that old witch is indeed from the Central Plains. She is an old acquaintance of mine. Everyone on the street calls her Yu Jiao Nu."
"Don't be fooled by her appearance. She is actually a beautiful lady, not much worse than your sister."
"As for the means of capturing men, even your sister and I cannot even come close to it."
"If you really obey her, you won't suffer any loss."
"Six years ago, she sucked the water god of Fuye Prefecture dry and committed adultery in the prefecture government office. She was arrested by the Night Travel Division and had to flee to the border."
"He's doing pretty well in Dayue Country now. I heard he has some connection with Ying Feihong. So he was able to help us get an invitation to the Moon Viewing Conference."
Ji Canghu told Luo Jing all the details about the old woman, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
He even told Luo Jing all the embarrassing things about how Yu Jiao slave committed adultery in the government office and how she was hunted down by the Night Walkers.
But after listening to it, Luo Jing became more confused.
"Since she has fled to the Western Regions, why does she have to change her appearance and hide her identity?" Luo Jing was very confused.
"Isn't this Dayue Country the territory of the Soul Refining Sect? She is a demon cultivator who has fled here. Is she afraid that the people from the Night Travel Division will continue to hunt her down?"
According to Luo Jing's understanding, if the evil cultivators from the Central Plains escaped to the outside of the Great Wall, they would have entered a lawless place.
Although the Great Moon Kingdom is the closest to the Central Plains, due to the influence of the war that year, the Central Plains and the Western Regions have always restrained each other. In order to avoid causing a war, the Central Plains Divine Dynasty basically does not reach out to the Western Regions.
Both the good and the evil sides have been very restrained for many years.
But in the story of Ji Canghu, after Yu Jiaonu fled to the Western Regions, she kept using the human skin mask given to her by Ji Canghu as a disguise. She was unwilling to reveal her original appearance for fear of being hunted down by the people of the Night Walk.
This made Luo Jing feel strange.
The people from the Night Travel Department are so arrogant? Do they dare to come to the Western Regions to arrest people? Aren't they afraid of causing a war
But Ji Canghu smiled and shook his head, saying: "What are you talking about, little brother... You are a disciple of the Criminal Law Hall, don't you know the nature of the Dayue Kingdom?"
"This broken place is a lawless place on the surface. But in reality, it has become a chessboard for the Soul Refining Sect and the Central Plains Divine Dynasty to secretly compete with each other."
"Let's not talk about anything else. In the capital of Dayue State alone, the six branches of the Demon Sect, the disciples of the three holy places of the Righteous Path, and the messengers of the Night Travel Department... are all crowded together, and they fight privately from time to time."
"If it weren't for the current ruler Ying Feihong who still has some ability and can barely calm the situation, the Great Yue Kingdom would have been in chaos long ago."
Ji Canghu's words overturned Luo Jing's cognition.
According to her, although the Dayue Kingdom seems to be a lawless place, there are actually undercurrents.
Both the good and the evil sides were trying to interfere in many affairs of Dayue. If it weren't for the powerful ruler Ying Feihong who suppressed the situation, Dayue would have already launched round after round of proxy wars.
Luo Jing was very familiar with this set of things. After all, this was the case with the desert countries in his previous life.
However, the information provided by Qingxuan was inconsistent with reality... This made Luo Jing fully realize the difference between academicism and reality.
Qingxuan, who looks like a direct disciple, has no deep contact with the sect's affairs. All his knowledge comes from information, which makes it subtly different from reality.
After all, there is a difference between what is on paper and what is actually there.
It seems that I should not be too superstitious about the information provided by Qingxuan in the future, but should look at it dialectically.
Fortunately, this misjudgment was insignificant.
Luo Jing took note of this and said, "Since Dayue Country is in chaos, then we should continue to flee westward. The people of the Night Travel Division dared to reach out to Dayue Country... Do they dare to reach out further west?"
Ji Canghu looked at Luo Jing with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Stinky brother, are you provoking me with this?"
"You, the people of the Soul Refining Sect, have a certain attitude towards my sister, a Central Plains demon cultivator... Don't you know?"
"Or is it that the Soul Refining Sect has been closed for ten years, so that new generation disciples like you have forgotten what you did in the past?"
"Your Soul Refining Sect is no worse than the Central Plains Divine Dynasty in ostracizing and ostracizing the independent cultivators of the Demonic Path."
"Any demon cultivator who does not submit to you will be hunted down at all costs."
Ji Canghu looked unfriendly.
It is obvious that he is extremely resentful towards the Soul Refining Sect.
Luo Jing was speechless and said slowly: "I really didn't expect this. I only joined the sect five years ago..."
Luo Jing lied.
While in the Soul Refining Sect, he indeed did not sense much hostility towards the independent cultivators from outside.
After all, in the completely closed Manggu Mountains, the so-called demonic cultivators are only in conceptual terms and cannot be seen at all.
Ji Canghu snorted softly and said, "Since it was an unintentional mistake, I will forgive you."
"But next time you mess with my sister... hehe!"
Ji Canghu licked his red lips, his eyes charming: "Next time, if you don't pay something, you will definitely not be able to pass."
