Chapter 88: Zhuge Qing Defects!

【The moment those words were spoken, both you and Zi You tensed up, your brows tightly furrowed as you looked around.】

【Very soon, a young man appeared before your eyes.】

【The feeling Zhuge Qing gave you could be summed up in one word: refined.】

【But you knew that was only his outward appearance.】

【From his surname, you knew he was very likely from a bloodline inheritance family just like Zi You.】

【Thinking of this, you called out to Wuji inwardly.】

【“Senior Wuji! Please help me see whether this man is from the Zhuge Clan.”】

【A moment later, Wuji’s astonished voice rang out in your mind.】

【“Damn! He really is from the Zhuge Clan!”】

【“What is going on? How is it that the moment I came out, I ran into both the Zi Clan and the Zhuge Clan one after another?”】

【“Could that prophecy actually be real?”】

【You paid no attention to what Wuji said afterward. After learning that this person truly was from the Zhuge Clan, your expression turned serious.】

【You sent a voice transmission to Zi You and told her Zhuge Qing’s identity.】

【After hearing your words, Zi You was deeply shocked that you even knew something like this.】

【As for matters of bloodline inheritance, she had only briefly told a few people in the Sword Pavilion about them. She had never mentioned anything about the other bloodline families.】

【Yet she had actually heard information about the Zhuge Clan from your mouth. She could not help but feel surprised.】

【“You are actually from the Zhuge Clan!”】

【When Chu Wudi heard that, he glanced at Zi You. He had not expected her to see through Zhuge Qing’s identity with a single glance.】

【“Looks like you know quite a lot.”】

【At that moment, Zhuge Qing beside Chu Wudi smiled faintly.】

【“Of course she knows!”】

【“Because just like me, she also possesses bloodline inheritance. She is from the Zi Clan!”】

【The moment Zhuge Qing said that, Chu Wudi gradually calmed down.】

【Fortunately, he had invited Zhuge Qing this time. Otherwise, if he had come alone, he really might have fallen here.】

【“The Great Void Technique... the Zi Clan?”】

【“So what? Zhuge Qing, join hands with me. I refuse to believe she can still escape.”】

【When you saw this, your heart instantly sank to the bottom.】

【You thought to yourself: After making so many preparations in advance, could it be that the Blood Demon Secret Realm still could not be defended?】

【If the Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable were released, you knew the Sword Pavilion would inevitably suffer severe losses. At that point, the chances of attacking the Bizarre Insects would become vanishingly small.】

【At that moment, all of your gazes were focused on Zhuge Qing.】

【In the next instant, Zhuge Qing made a decision that stunned all of you.】

【“I refuse!”】

【When Chu Wudi heard that, he looked at Zhuge Qing with a dark expression.】

【“What do you mean, Zhuge Qing?”】

【“Did we not agree before coming here that you would help me obtain the fragment of the Taixu Sword, and then after gaining the immortal opportunity, we would ascend to the Immortal World together?”】

【You saw Zhuge Qing shake his head at Chu Wudi as he said,】

【“I only said I would help you find the fragment of the Taixu Sword!”】

【“Now that the fragment of the Taixu Sword has been found, my thoughts have changed!”】

【After saying that, you saw Zhuge Qing look at you with a smile on his face.】

【“Because of this ant?”】

【Chu Wudi followed Zhuge Qing’s gaze and looked toward you.】

【Zhuge Qing slowly walked up in front of you.】

【“I sensed the aura of the Heavenly Evolution Art on you!”】

【“I assume the reason you could deduce Chu Wudi’s arrival is because you cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Art, right?”】

【You frowned at Zhuge Qing before you. From that smiling face, you could not read a single trace of what he was thinking.】

【Seeing that you did not deny it, Zhuge Qing continued,】

【“Since you cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Art, then how about this—if you hand the Heavenly Secrets Art over to me, I will help you kill Chu Wudi?”】

【The instant those words fell, both you and Chu Wudi revealed shocked expressions.】

【What shocked Chu Wudi was that for the sake of a mere cultivation art, Zhuge Qing was actually willing to give up the immortal opportunity before him.】

【In Chu Wudi’s view, that was an immortal opportunity! No cultivation art could compare to an immortal opportunity.】

【“Zhuge Qing! Have you gone mad?”】

【“You do not want the immortal opportunity, and for the sake of a mere cultivation art, you are giving up the chance to ascend to the Immortal World?”】

【Faced with Chu Wudi’s furious roar, Zhuge Qing remained unmoved.】

【In the next moment, taking advantage of Chu Wudi’s momentary distraction, Zi You directly used the Great Void Technique to attack him.】

【After seeing Zi You and Chu Wudi locked in combat, you fixed your gaze firmly on Zhuge Qing.】

【“Have you thought it over?”】

【“You should know that only I can determine the outcome of this battle. I hope you consider it carefully!”】

【Helpless, you could only tell Zhuge Qing the truth.】

【You told Zhuge Qing that you also did not have the complete Heavenly Secrets Art, only a fragmentary scroll.】

【When Zhuge Qing heard that, emotion appeared on his face for the first time.】

【“Are you joking with me?”】

【“Everyone knows that the Heavenly Secrets Art cannot be cultivated when it is incomplete. Are you trying to deceive me?”】

【At that, you spread your hands helplessly.】

【“I really do not have the complete Heavenly Secrets Art. Besides, were you not also cultivating it from a fragmentary scroll?”】

【At that moment, Zhuge Qing stared at you with tightly furrowed brows, as if he wanted to see through your entire being.】

【Unfortunately, even when he used the Heavenly Secrets Art, he still could not see anything about you clearly.】

【“Huh? How strange!”】

【After deducing your background, Zhuge Qing discovered a bizarre phenomenon.】

【It was also the first time he had encountered such a situation while using the Heavenly Secrets Art. At that point, he suddenly started to believe that what you cultivated really was a fragmentary Heavenly Secrets Art.】

【“Could it be that you truly cultivated only a fragment and still succeeded?”】

【Right afterward, Zhuge Qing asked where you had obtained the Heavenly Secrets Art.】

【You did not hide it from him either and directly told Zhuge Qing that you had gotten it from the Demon Race in Huangzhou.】

【“So that is how it was...”】

【You asked Zhuge Qing once more how he had managed to cultivate the Heavenly Secrets Art.】

【Zhuge Qing let out a long sigh.】

【“Simply put, it is because of the effect of my Zhuge Clan bloodline inheritance, which allows me to cultivate a fragmentary Heavenly Secrets Art.”】

【As for more information about bloodline inheritance, Zhuge Qing revealed nothing further.】

【You told him that you too were now searching for the complete Heavenly Secrets Art, and that once the old site of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was found, it could be obtained.】

【After hearing that, Zhuge Qing shook his head at you.】

【“The old site of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is far too difficult to find. I have searched for so many years and still do not have the slightest clue.”】

【“Senior! Do you know of someone in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion named Wuji?”】

【When Zhuge Qing heard that, his brows furrowed tightly.】

【A moment later, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said excitedly,】

【“Wuji! Wuji Heavenly Venerable?”】

【“You have seen Wuji Heavenly Venerable?”】

【Just as you were about to tell Zhuge Qing that Wuji Heavenly Venerable was with you, Wuji’s voice rang out in your mind.】

【“Little brother, do not reveal my identity!”】
