Chapter 175 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (44)

Bai Tang accepted without refusal.

Weng Quan didn’t say much either, he knew Bai Tang understood what it meant.

He handed it over swiftly, and she accepted it just as quickly. Qi Jiayan glanced at the token and confirmed it was the Heavenly Secrets Token.

As the saying goes, secrets of the heavens must not be revealed. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was renowned for trading various martial world information. The Heavenly Secrets Token was the highest token of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, totaling three in number. Holders of the Heavenly Secrets Token could access the most confidential areas of the pavilion and obtain its most confidential information, all free of charge.

Weng Quan had actually given the Heavenly Secrets Token to Bai Tang?

Yaoyao was curious. “Young Lady Bai, what is this?”

“It’s the Heavenly Secrets Token,” Bai Tang replied.

Yaoyao was so surprised that she didn’t know what to say. She could vaguely sense Weng Quan’s special status—he was actually a member of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and possessed the Heavenly Secrets Token, and now he had given it to Bai Tang.

Bai Tang said, “Young Master Qi, please wait for a moment—I have important matters to discuss with my elder brother.”

Qi Jiayan, of course, couldn’t refuse. “Of course, Young Lady Bai.”

Even if he wanted to know what they were discussing, it was impossible to overhear. He couldn’t give the Lifeless Flower to Tang Haotian in advance. If the two flowers reached Tang Haotian before Bai Tang did, she would surely suspect him given her acumen.

“Ah Tang, go ahead,” Weng Quan said.

Bai Tang asked, “Elder brother, do you know the appearance and name of the Blood Devil Cult’s cult leader? What was the name of the previous Blood Devil Cult’s cult leader?”

Weng Quan shook his head. “They are very secretive—everyone wears masks, and their voices are altered. We once obtained a portrait of the Blood Devil Cult’s cult leader but couldn’t find the person. We’re not even sure if he is the current cult leader.”

As he spoke, Weng Quan drew a rough outline on the ground with a stick.

Bai Tang glanced at it and said, “He is the former Blood Devil Cult’s cult leader, Shuang Hua. When I went down the Narrow Heaven for the second time, I slaughtered Blood Devil Cult’s stronghold but spared some who still harbored good intentions. However, I believe they must have another stronghold.”

Weng Quan nodded. “This aligns with our analysis. We only stumbled upon the information about the second stronghold by chance within the Narrow Heaven. It’s concealed very well, and we can’t confirm it yet.”

Bai Tang smiled and dropped a “bomb”, “Elder brother, don’t turn around. Qi Jiayan is the current leader of the Blood Devil Cult.”

“What?” Weng Quan could hardly believe it. While there were blank spots in Qi Jiayan’s identity, they hadn’t found any suspicions. Weng Quan didn’t doubt the reliability of Bai Tang’s information.

Bai Tang nodded. “As long as you’re aware, elder brother, we shouldn’t spread this information. None of us can kill him, we must carefully plan our moves and not rush into anything. I’ve also confirmed some information—Qi Jiayan knows a technique to absorb people’s internal energy and has used it many times. I disabled his martial arts once before, but as you can see, he has regained some strength.”

Weng Quan murmured, “This kind of martial arts that absorbs people’s internal energy can easily lead to demonic possession, with tendons and veins severed. Rest assured, Ah Tang, I’ll be cautious where necessary, and I won’t let Qi Jiayan notice anything unusual.”

Weng Quan had great trust in Bai Tang and respected her deeply.

Bai Tang continued, “Qi Jiayan grew up in a place like the Blood Devil Cult and suffered humiliations by people like Shuang Hua, so it’s not surprising he has become like this. He’s a venomous snake, and will not be soft-hearted. I’ve destroyed one of the Blood Devil Cult’s strongholds already, so they’ll need to lie low. There likely won’t be any major moves in the next two years, but the Martial Alliance Leader Assembly in two years could be a good opportunity. He might strike then. Elder brother, I’ll teach you a set of techniques specifically designed to counter his energy-absorbing technique, so your internal energy won’t be drained.”

Weng Quan nodded, and the two exchanged a smile before heading back.

Bai Tang rested her head on her hand. “My business is done. Next, I’ll be traveling to various places. What about you?”

Weng Quan smiled. “I came to the martial world to travel. Ah Tang, let’s travel together as siblings.”
