Chapter 612 The truth is false
Ranran was stunned, and the saint just looked at her with a smile.
Although the saint did not speak again, the words "surpassed True Man Qingxiao" seemed to still echo in Ranran's ears.
The saint did not tell Ranran how she was sure of this. She just lightly dropped this "big bomb" and then remained calm, as if what she said was unimportant and would not cause any strong shock to the listeners.
But Ranran was already extremely convinced that everything the saint said was true.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was her intuition that kicked in again, or whether the saint just possessed this kind of magical power.
Ran Ran looked at Qin Siyi next to him. He seemed a little shocked, but at the same time seemed to take it for granted.
"Why are you looking at me so weirdly?"
Before Ranran opened her mouth, Qin Siyi reacted first, his fur standing on end like a frightened cat.
Ran Ran laughed, "I just want to know why you look like this, Master Yi."
"What's that expression?" Qin Siyi was confused and impatient.
The Saint said, "She must be wondering why you are not surprised at all when you know I am the best in the world."
Qin Siyi was shocked at first, then he said as a matter of course: "What's so strange about this?"
"Your Highness is superior to everyone in this world."
Ran Ran raised her eyebrows. She seemed unable to refute it. Firstly, it was the fact. Secondly, it would be useless to say anything bad about her idol in front of a completely biased fan.
She believed that even if the Saint was not the best in the world, she was definitely the best in Qin Siyi's eyes.
Saintess: "Although there has been no news of True Person Qing Xiao for three years since she severely injured three Spiritualization Stage cultivators, her reputation has become increasingly famous in Central Continent."
"At that time, she was walking around in the world under a name other than the Taoist name Qing Xiao Zhenren that people in later generations know of her. It was her real name."
The saint actually knew the name that was considered taboo and not allowed to be mentioned by later generations?
Ran Ran's eyes were filled with anticipation. "So what is the name of this cultivator?"
Ranran couldn't help but think that she had asked the right person. In the entire Central Continent, among those who knew the authority of history, there should be only a handful of people who could compare with the Saint.
So she could learn from the Saint some information that Yun Qingxi, Xiao Yiyang and the others didn’t know!
To Ranran's disappointment, the saint's answer was no.
"The Demon Lord didn't tell me his name, so I guess he didn't know it either. In the Demon Realm at that time, he was just an apostle who obeyed those big shots unconditionally. He had no desire to learn about things outside the Demon Realm."
This is how the saint explained it, but Ranran noticed something was wrong.
Even if the Demon Lord didn't pay attention to True Man Qingxiao, the fact that True Man Qingxiao won the top spot on the Liufang List and severely injured three high-level cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage by himself all happened before the Taoist name Qingxiao appeared. Since the Demon Lord knew these things, how could he not know the name of True Man Qingxiao?
In other words, True Person Qingxiao used her own real name to do these amazing things, so the name that she became famous with was naturally her real name. Why wouldn't the Demon Lord know about this?
Ran Ran couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
Did the Demon Lord really not know, or... on this point, he lied to the Saint.
If the Demon Lord really lied, then why did he lie? What was he really trying to hide by lying about the name of Qing Xiao Zhenren?
What brought Ranran back from his contemplation was the saint's description of the great war that took place thousands of years ago.
"To this day, there are only a handful of people in Zhongzhou who know the specific list of people who participated in that encirclement and suppression. However, all the major sects that have survived and developed since that war are very clear about one thing..."
The Saint smiled and said, "Their sect is one of them."
The Saint didn't say it directly, but the meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious. There are countless connections between the Host Alliance thousands of years ago and the current seven major sects, and they were all the murderers who besieged Qingxiao Zhenren at that time. Ran Ran: "In other words, every sect knows that they participated in that war, but they don't know the attitudes of other sects back then?"
"Glory and splendor are passed down from generation to generation, and among them are also the unknown secrets. Perhaps not long after the war, the various factions involved in the encirclement and suppression knew which factions were cooperating with each other, but as time went by, the fear and awe of the war were gradually forgotten..."
The saint had no expression when she spoke, but Ranran could see a little pity in her eyes.
"The trust in our companions gradually disappeared, and in the end, only guilt and shame were left in everyone's heart." The saint's voice was ethereal and soft.
"The heavy feeling of guilt and shame made them more and more aware of what they had done, while other things gradually faded away in the course of time and could no longer be seen clearly."
Ran Ran was puzzled, "How did the Demon Lord know something that the seven major sects didn't know about?"
Saint: "The Demon Lord was very lucky. He was an eyewitness to that great war. However, the forces belonging to the Demon Realm only witnessed it as witnesses and did not participate in the encirclement and suppression, so he just watched everything."
Seeing Ran Ran pondering, the Saint smiled and said, "The relationship between the Demon Realm and the Host Alliance was not so tense from the beginning."
"Then why now..." Ran Ran didn't finish his words. Looking at the smile in the saint's eyes, he gradually understood.
"Who would be nice to someone who knows their bad secrets?"
Ran Ran still didn't understand something. "Does this include the Qing Xiao Sword Sect? Hasn't Master Xuan Yuan always been friendly to Master Qing Xiao? Why..."
"Of course."
"Today we have to face the seven major sects at the same time, so I am not afraid to make my words clearer." The Saint's expression was slightly cold.
"None of the seven major sects can escape the murder of True Man Qing Xiao."
The saint seemed angry about this, but the complex emotions in her eyes were more than that.
Ranran couldn't understand and didn't understand what Master Xuanyuan was doing.
He clearly supported True Man Qing Xiao, so why did he join in the campaign to kill her?
The Saint seemed to see Ranran's doubts and said calmly: "People's ideas are always changing."
"Master Xuanyuan recognizes Master Qingxiao, but he also believes in the bullshit theories of the Host Alliance [Heavenly Dao]."
Ran Ran: "What is [Heavenly Way]?"
The saint had a blank expression on her face, and the faint emotion around her was like a very light mist, making it difficult for Ranran to see clearly.
"【Heavenly Way】is that when facing a cultivator who is inferior to them in terms of wealth, companionship, and Dharma, the right thing for them to do is..."
"It is destruction."
The Saint stared into Ran Ran's eyes. "The people and things we regard as miracles are things that must be destroyed in their terrified eyes."
"why?"
"Because it is unreasonable and does not conform to their logic. Before this, they have never seen any unknown casual cultivator reach the realm of Qingxiao Zhenren."
"I have never seen anyone who was originally unknown suddenly break free from their control."
“Master Qingxiao can be a miracle, a hope, and also a weirdness.”
"An unspeakable person who is so weird that it makes all the major sects in Central Continent tremble."
