Demon’s Diary

t have foundations that are as solid as sect disciples but in order for them to stay alive to such a point, they are all extremely powerful people.
When fighting, they won’t be like us sect disciples who will be bound by rules.
If there’s a sliver of a chance, they will use any method to fight.
They are not our opponents but in a life or death fight, us sect disciples are usually the ones at a disadvantage.
In addition, these loose cultivators usually are quite old when they have cultivated to that level.
Whether it's the accumulation of Fa Li or fighting experience, we cannot compare with them.” Hu Chunniang said seriously.

“Thank you senior for your guidance.
I was indeed quite arrogant.” Liu Ming felt a fear within his heart as he stiffened his expression and bowed to say thanks. 

“Yes, looks like you aren’t really arrogant.
That’s good! If it was the previous Barbarian Ghost Disciple who did not know the difference between the heaven and the earth, I would have left right away.” Seeing the humble manner of Liu Ming, Hu Chunniang nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Hu Chunniang approached the senior for my sect?” Liu Ming heard this and suddenly thought of something.

“I know what you’re thinking.
However, you don’t need to ask much.
I never made contact with the previous supervising disciple.
After seeing that he wasn’t someone to be working with, I didn’t appear before him with my identity.
Up until his disappearance, he didn’t know that I was in the Heavenly Moon Sect.” Hu Chunniang saw the thought of Liu Ming and gave a smile.

“As the Supervising Disciple of the Heavenly Moon Sect and staying at Xuanjing for so long, senior should have some sort of clue about my senior’s disappearance.” Liu Ming blinked before laughing.

“It would be impossible to say that I have not a single thread of evidence, but why should I tell you?” When Hu Chunniang heard this, she gave a Liu Ming a slanted glance.

“To have senior give information without any compensation is indeed a little too much.
How about this, I will exchange information with senior.
This way, we will both benefit.” Liu Ming paused before replying.

“Exchanging information? How long have you come to Xuanjing so what kind of information do you have?” Hu Chunniang said with disdain.

“If I say that I know where the root of Xuanjing’s confusion is, would you be interested?” Liu Ming touched his chin before giving a smile.

“You know the root? You are joking right.
I have only barely gotten information about this matter!” Hu Chunniang was shocked after hearing such a thing and stared into the eyes of Liu ming.

“How about this, we will both write a name and show each other.
Checking if they are the same.” Liu Ming said with patience. 

“Each write out a name? Alright, that’s a solution.
If junior really knows the information about the root, there will be value in exchanging information.” Hu Chunniang’s expression moved before she nodded.

In the next time, each of two of them took out a Glyph Pen and some silver powder to write a couple of words in their palms.
Then, they made fists and gradually brought them together before opening them.

In the end, Liu Ming wrote out “Royal Family” in his palm while the young woman had “Government”. 

Seeing this scene, Hu Chunniang’s expression changed.

“Looks like Junior Qian does have some skill to have already gone that far in so little time.”

“It was also a coincidence for me to gain this information.” Liu Ming’s face didn’t change but his heart loosened.

Although he knew that the current emperor was a monster, whether or not he was the actual root of change in Xuanjing, it was only a guess.

“Alright, since junior really does have some information, you have qualification to exchange information with me.
For fairness, we’ll each ask one sentence.
What do you want to know the most of right now?” The young woman put on a serious expression.

“Looks like senior really doesn’t want to have any losses! What I want to know the most right now is whether senior knows what faction is responsible for my senior’s disappance.
When I came, I was ambushed by a group of people and hearing their words, it should be the same faction.” Liu Ming also became serious.

“Junior was ambushed? Those people really do move fast.
When your previous Supervising Disciple went missing, if I’m not guessing wrong, it was because of the Black Spirit Group.” The young woman frowned before regaining composure.

“Black Spirit Group did this? How do you know?” Liu Ming show much surprise.

With how mysterious the Black Spirit Group was, they were one of Liu Ming’s suspects.

“Wouldn’t this be the second question? It’s time for me to ask.” The young woman gave a white eye before speaking.

“Hehe, I am being impatient.
Senior can ask away!” Liu Ming paused before giving a bitter smile.

“Among those who ambushed you, was there a Late Spirit Apostle or Black Spirit Messenger.” Out of Liu Ming’s expectation, the young woman didn’t ask about the government but rather about what he was ambushed before. 

“What are Black Spirit Messengers? I only know that among those that ambushed, most of them were normal practitioners and only two were true cultivators.
One was a Middle Spirit Apostle and the other was a Late Spirit Apostle.” Liu Ming’s thought turned as he slowly replied.
