~7 min read 1,267 words

"Lingyun, you're back?" When Lingyun returned to Shalier's courtyard, Chen Jing walked over quickly. "How did things go over there?"

"Things over there? They have been successfully resolved," Lingyun said.

"Then, what about the other matter?" Su Wanyue asked.

"That is also resolved."

"Mr. Lingyun, do you mean that you have already repaired all the Sacred Gears within the Holy See that were invaded by Demon Qi?" Feike leaned in close to Lingyun and asked with a curious look on his face.

"That's right, the matter of the Demon Qi has been resolved. For the next steps, we will need Master Mohan and the others to take action," Lingyun nodded and said.

"The next steps? What are you referring to?" A loud voice came over, and Mohan walked over from a distance and asked.

"The next steps are regarding the other Sacred Gears. Didn't I say before that not all the problematic Sacred Gears were invaded by Demon Qi? Some of these Sacred Gears have suffered damage due to the passage of time, while others were damaged in battle. There is quite a large number of these, so I can only leave them for you, Master Mohan, to resolve," Lingyun said.

"Then what about you, Mr. Lingyun?" Shalier asked with some surprise.

"Me? It is impossible for us to stay in this place for too long. Once news comes from Qiming, we will have to embark on a new journey," Lingyun said.

"Mr. Lingyun is in such a hurry; is it for the sake of the Holy Swords and the body of the Lord of the Demon World?" Mohan asked.

"That's right." Lingyun nodded.

"Qiming? Wait, could the Qiming you speak of be the current Pope's teacher, the Great Prophet Qiming?" Mohan asked with a look of astonishment.

"That's right. I asked him to use the Great Prophecy to help me find the whereabouts of the other two Holy Swords," Lingyun said.

"This, I'm afraid that will be a bit difficult," Mohan said.

"Hm? Master Mohan, listening to your tone, do you think Master Qiming cannot find the traces of the other two Holy Swords?" Shalier asked with some curiosity. "Although it is true that performing the Great Prophecy is very taxing for Master Qiming, finding the traces of the Holy Swords should still be possible, right?"

"Heh, young man, you think of the Holy Swords far too simply," Mohan shook his head with a smile. "In fact, over a hundred years ago, Qiming tried to search for the traces of the Holy Swords."

"There is actually such a thing?" Feike's tone was somewhat shocked.

"That's right, at that time, it was I who asked Qiming to do this! I was young and headstrong then, and I just wanted to see for myself what was so powerful about the legendary Holy Swords that defeated the Lord of the Demon World. But the Holy Swords had long since gone missing, so I paid a significant price to have Qiming use the Great Prophecy to help me look for them," Mohan said.

"And what was the final result?"

"The final result, I think you should have guessed it by now. Although Qiming put in quite a lot of effort, he was never able to find the traces of the Holy Swords and eventually had to declare that he was giving up. It was also at that time that we learned the Holy Swords actually possess the ability to hide their own existence. So, Mr. Lingyun, you wanting to have Qiming deduce the whereabouts of the Holy Swords for you is not an easy task."

"I naturally know that the Holy Swords have the ability to shield their own existence, but I have left four Holy Swords over there. If he cannot deduce the whereabouts of the remaining Holy Swords even with the help of these four, then I have no other methods," Lingyun shrugged and said.

"If he uses the Holy Swords as a template, perhaps that fellow really does have a way to deduce the whereabouts of the remaining two Holy Swords." Hearing Lingyun say this, Mohan scratched his beard and nodded slightly.

Feike, standing to the side, had a bunch of question marks appear over his head: "What Holy Swords, what body of the Lord of the Demon World, why do I know nothing about any of this?"

"As for this, you might understand once you ask Bishop Shalier later," Lingyun said with a smile.

"Shalier..." Feike's gaze turned toward Shalier, his eyes full of anticipation.

Being stared at by Feike's gaze, a trace of cold sweat could not help but appear on Shalier's forehead. For some reason, he felt that Feike's gaze was somewhat strange.

"Do, don't worry, I will definitely tell you everything about this matter," Shalier said, stuttering slightly.

"Hmm, Lingyun, I always feel that these two are a bit strange!" Chen Jing leaned in close to Lingyun and said softly.

"Yes, the situation with these two is indeed a bit special!" A hint of a smile appeared in Lingyun's eyes. "When you were chatting with Feike just now, did you notice anything wrong?"

"Hmm, is there something wrong?" Su Wanyue pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It does seem like there is something off, but I can't say why."

"That's right, I have that feeling too. Hmm, how should I put it? I just feel that the person in front of us is not Feike's true self," Chen Jing also said.

"Chen Jing, you aren't joking with that statement, are you?" Hearing Chen Jing's words, Su Wanyue could not help but narrow her eyes.

"Use your Star Divination Art to take a look at Shalier's Fate and you'll know!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Star Divination Art, to look at Shalier's Fate?" Chen Jing looked at Lingyun with some confusion.

However, based on the tacit understanding the two had always shared, Chen Jing did not ask any more questions and simply silently used the Star Divination Art to deduce Shalier's Fate.

Very quickly, Chen Jing's expression became peculiar, and a trace of strangeness appeared in her gaze as she looked at Shalier.

"What's wrong, Chen Jing?" Seeing Chen Jing's peculiar expression, Su Wanyue asked with some curiosity.

"The Red Matchmaker Star is moving!" Chen Jing said slowly.

"The Red Matchmaker Star is moving?" Su Wanyue repeated, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Uh, what are you all talking about?" Shalier felt his scalp tingle from the gaze of the three, and he could not help but ask.

"As for this, you will know in a while," Lingyun said with a smile.

"I always feel that you all have ill intentions looking like that!" Shalier said.

"It's nothing, it's just that good news is coming your way, but we might not be able to see it, so we wanted to congratulate you in advance," Lingyun said.

"Good news coming my way, what good news?"

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!" Lingyun said with a mysterious look on his face.

"Mr. Lingyun."

Just as Shalier was about to ask something else, Qiming suddenly appeared on the scene.

"Greetings, Lord Qiming." Seeing Qiming appear, Shalier and Feike both knelt on one knee.

"What is it?" Lingyun asked.

"I have already calculated the location of the remaining two Holy Swords!" A trace of undisguised excitement appeared on Qiming's face.

"Is that so?" A trace of joy also appeared on Lingyun's face. "Where are they?"

"The Holy Sword of Earth should be on Dragon Island. And the Water Holy Sword should be in the hands of the Sea Race," Qiming said.
