"Killing Lu Qingshan is not just about seizing the Taoist Artifact, but also about eliminating a future powerhouse of the Human Race.
This ti, we can ensure our identities remain hidden while intercepting Lu Qingshan at any cost, determined to seize the Taoist Artifact from his hands," said Mansion Master Yu Lei in a deep voice.
"According to the intelligence, he is currently located within the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. This is our best opportunity, otherwise, once he goes into hiding, who can track his whereabouts?"
— When Lu Qingshan headed to Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he was unaware that news of him possessing the Taoist Artifact was spreading rapidly, and thus he didn’t purposefully conceal his identity,
which led to him being noticed by so keen observers upon entering Heavenly Secret Pavilion, tracking his whereabouts.
Mansion Master Yu Lei nodded in agreent, "We dare not intrude into Heavenly Secret Pavilion, as it is a Taoist Sect, and luring him out would leave too evident a trail.
Luckily, Heavenly Secret Pavilion is not his sect, and he will have to leave eventually."
"Therefore, we only need to wait patiently and closely monitor every cultivator leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion during this period."
"Then, Mansion Master, how should we deploy personnel to intercept and kill him? This kid is a rising threat, not that easy to deal with," said another Underworld Cultivator from the Western Domain, filled with worry and difficulty.
"This Lu Qingshan, with the help of the Taoist Artifact, possesses the combat power of a top-tier Divine Transformation Cultivator, there’s no doubt about that. To kill him, the first thod is to dispatch Seventh Realm Cultivators," said Mansion Master Yu Lei.
"He can handle a Divine Transformation Cultivator, but absolutely has no way against an Integration Cultivator."
"The issue is, Lu Qingshan holds the Taoist Artifact and likely has a life-saving ace given by the Sword Sect. Even an Integration Cultivator, with bad luck, might be counter-killed."
"Losing an Integration Cultivator is bearable for us."
The main concern is that those of the Integration Cultivator rank are significant figures, not arising out of thin air, with nurous connections to us, not easily brushed off.
If we deploy Integration Cultivators, it could very well lead to exposing our information."
Sacrificing a few Integration Cultivators ans nothing, what they fear is being traced back, leading to their entire stronghold being uprooted.
After all, this kind of interception seems too blatant, it’s difficult to cover all traces cleanly.
"What’s another thod?" asked one Underworld Cultivator, hearing the implication in Mansion Master Yu Lei’s words.
"With this kind of combat power, he can’t be killed by one or two Divine Transformation Cultivators, and it’s inconvenient to use Integration Cultivators, we can’t boost quality, but we can certainly increase quantity."
"If one Divine Transformation Cultivator can’t handle him, then what about ten, twenty, thirty?"
"Essentially, he is just a Sword Cultivator, physically weak, and just at the Void Refinent Realm.
The saying goes, ’two fists can’t beat four hands,’ he has three life-bound swords, how many Divine Transformation Cultivators can he handle at once?" Mansion Master Yu Lei said confidently.
In their intelligence, Lu Qingshan still wielded three life-bound swords.
"Deploy the Life-Reaping Departnt, this ti we’ll use a departnt to make a move."
Mansion Master Yu Lei was incredibly resolute, his voice seemingly resonating in the hearts of the present Underworld Cultivators, "Move swiftly, I suspect we are not the only ones eyeing Lu Qingshan, other domains’ Underworlds surely won’t lag behind, don’t let them beat us to it."
"Yes." Everyone responded respectfully in unison.
....
"Kill Lu Qingshan, seize the Taoist Artifact?"
"Pay any price, act quickly, wait patiently..."
Throughout the Human Realm, similar scenes were unfolding.
Of course, the first to act were inevitably the Underworlds of various domains.
So Human Cultivators, or rather Evil Cultivators, might also harbor ill intentions, but their intelligence simply couldn’t be as inford as the Underworlds, unable to quickly ascertain Lu Qingshan’s whereabouts, thus needing so additional ti to react.
In summary, Underworlds from all domains dispatched nurous personnel, rushing toward the Central Heavenly Realm, plotting to seize the Taoist Artifact.
.....
Central Heavenly Realm.
"All I can do is monitor here, as soon as Lu Qingshan leaves the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he won’t escape my sight."
In a mountain range thousands of miles from Heavenly Secret Pavilion, an Integration Cultivator quietly lay in wait.
He sat cross-legged, eyes closed.
In his mind erged images of the surroundings of Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
"The Mansion Master tasked with monitoring the situations at Heavenly Secret Pavilion, as soon as Lu Qingshan leaves, I’ll imdiately relay the ssage to the Life-Reaping Departnt cultivators to assist them in the intercepting mission..." murmured Bloodwing Marquis.
The Mansion Master dared not easily employ Integration Cultivators for interception, but assisting from the sidelines posed no major issue.
As long as he didn’t reveal himself by making a move, it would be fine.
Thinking about Lu Qingshan’s astonishing achievents in such a short ti, Bloodwing Marquis couldn’t help but tremble with excitent.
Just a grassroots cultivator from a remote state, yet he managed to defeat the Early Nascent Soul Zhou Yuan at the age of eighteen, in the first Seven Domains Debate Summit.
Afterward, he rose at an unimaginable pace, becoming unmatched today.
Truly unbelievable.
He felt envious and jealous.
"It’s all because of the Taoist Artifact, I always believed, no matter how prodigious Lu Qingshan’s talent is, he shouldn’t rise to such heights so quickly..."
"If only I could possess that Taoist Artifact, perhaps I’d also have hope of advancing to the Eighth Realm? If only I owned that Taoist Artifact, why would I ever have joined the Underworld?"
With that thought, his eyes reddened with greater ferocity.
He waited silently, waiting for Lu Qingshan to appear, to leave the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
