Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wang Defa's mouth twitched.
He instantly guessed that what Lu Ming and the others were looking for was likely the item the big shot had placed at his former residence.
That was the large blue stone engraved with the words “Qingshan Sect” currently sitting at the Qingshan Sect.
Before leaving, the big shot had already instructed him not to reveal their whereabouts.
Neither his nor the large blue stone's whereabouts could be leaked.
It was a matter of the highest secrecy!
Thinking of this, Wang Defa stroked his beard and said, “Great Sect Master, the whereabouts of this large blue stone cannot be divined!”
Lu Ming blinked. “Why can't it be divined?”
Wang Defa replied, “Well... it's a stone!”
Lu Ming was taken aback upon hearing this, and then he frowned. “What's wrong with a stone? Plants and trees can become spirits, and monkeys can pop out of stones—I've seen it all! Why can't a stone be divined?”
Wang Defa was instantly speechless.
Great Sect Master, when you brag, can you not make it so grand?
If you say plants and trees can become spirits, I'll believe you. Even if you say a stone can become a spirit, I can believe that too.
But saying a monkey popped out of a stone? How is anyone supposed to believe that?
At the very least, tell me, is it a stone spirit or a monkey spirit?
Big Yellow and the others also looked at Lu Ming with curiosity.
“Eldest Senior Brother, is there really such a thing? Can a monkey really pop out of a stone?” Huang Tianbao scratched his head and asked somewhat skeptically.
After all, it was his first time hearing of it.
“Why wouldn't there be? The ancestor of the Huaguoshan lineage, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, popped right out of a stone!”
“Really?” Big Yellow couldn't help but gasp and ask.
How had he not heard this part before?
He hadn't expected that such a powerful Great Sage actually popped out of a stone!
Fu Chen and the rest of the group also looked at Lu Ming in shock.
The Sect Master was truly awesome to know even this.
Lu Ming nodded with certainty. “Really, many people saw that scene!
“We'll talk about the Great Sage later. Let's find the large blue stone first!”
At this moment, Huang Tianbao's eyes lit up, and he muttered, “Eldest Senior Brother, do you think it's possible that a monkey also popped out of our Qingshan Sect's large blue stone and ran off to play?”
Lu Ming was taken aback upon hearing this. “It doesn't seem entirely impossible!”
“No, no...” Lu Ming immediately refuted, “When the Great Sage emerged, it shook the heavens and earth! Yet when this large blue stone went missing, there wasn't a single sound.”
“Could it be that our Qingshan Sect's large blue stone is just relatively low-key, and it quietly slipped out and walked away?” Big Yellow analyzed with a very serious face!
Hearing their conversation, Wang Defa didn't even know what to say.
So these were the disciples of the big shot's sect!
They were indeed different from other people's disciples. Ordinary people would never think of something so ridiculous.
“Wang Defa, stop spacing out and hurry up and divine it!” At this moment, Big Yellow urged.
At the same time, it couldn't help but grumble in its heart: This Old Man Wang is so pitiful. After getting heartbroken once, he's not even sharp anymore.
If there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce ten or eight partners to him!
Wang Defa felt like he couldn't keep up with Lu Ming and the others' rhythm at all.
After snapping out of it, he hurriedly put on an act and analyzed, “The three Sect Masters may not know this, but ordinary living beings have souls, karma, and lifespans. Their life fates are like candle flames—even in the wind and rain, there is always light and shadow to discern. But this large blue stone...”
He paused, continuing to bluff, “But this large blue stone has no life or death, no soul or spirit, does not enter the Five Elements, and is untouched by Yin and Yang. How do you expect me, Old Man Wang, to divine it?”
“Old Man Wang, you've changed!” Before Lu Ming could speak, Huang Tianbao spoke up first.
Hearing this, Wang Defa's heart skipped a beat. Could I have given myself away?
That shouldn't be! I thoroughly studied the image and personality of this character.
“May I ask why the Third Sect Master says so? How has this old man changed?” Wang Defa quickly asked.
“You're not as amazing as before. If it were in the past, you definitely would have been able to divine it. When I went missing last time, you divined it instantly...”
Hearing this, Wang Defa couldn't help but sigh in relief. Fortunately, he hadn't been exposed.
At the same time, he was speechless. He definitely wasn't as amazing as before.
Before, the big shot was playing the account; now, he was the one logging in.
Besides, you're a freaking human! How can you compare yourself to a stone!
“Since it can't be divined, everyone, hurry up and search the surrounding area! Let's see if someone stole it...”
Subsequently, the crowd began to search the surrounding area.
Big Yellow and Huang Tianbao used their divine senses to sweep the spot where the large blue stone used to be, over and over again.
Just to see if there were any traces of a monkey popping out of the large blue stone.
In the end, they found nothing.
Fu Chen and the others even searched the entire area within a ten-thousand-mile radius, but they still couldn't find it.
“I don't know which worthless thief stole our sect's sign...”
“Are they blind? Out of all the valuable things, they didn't steal them and chose to steal a rock instead...”
“Wicked and rotten scoundrel! Don't let Lord Dog catch you, or I'll beat the crap out of you...!”
...
Listening to Lu Ming and the others curse, Wang Defa's eyelids twitched.
These guys were too brave. They even dared to curse the big shot!
He certainly didn't dare to join in!
“Wang Defa, why aren't you cursing?” Just then, Huang Tianbao asked in confusion.
Wang Defa was instantly dumbfounded. Did he need to curse too?
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Wang Defa gritted his teeth and said, “Ignorant little thief! Will stealing a sign make you rich or help you ascend to immortality...”
Wuuwuu... Big shot, I was forced into this.
But it actually feels pretty good!
Lu Ming and Huang Tianbao exchanged glances.
Old Man Wang has really been hurt deeply this time. He doesn't even have any energy when cursing...
It seems we'll have to help him save face and regain his confidence later!
“Old Man Wang, since the stone didn't turn into a monkey and run away, it must have been stolen. Why don't you divine who the thief is?” At this moment, Lu Ming spoke up again.
“I... I'll try...” Wang Defa nodded helplessly.
Why are they so obsessed with this stone!
Can't they just find another one?
Immediately, Wang Defa sat cross-legged and began to calculate with his fingers.
“Pfft...!” Wang Defa spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face turning pale.
The same old formula, the same old taste.
Wang Defa directly reenacted what had been performed before.
Only the audience had changed.
“Sect Master, the opponent's strength is too great! I can't do it...”
Lu Ming personally stuffed a recovery pill into Wang Defa's mouth.
“Recover well...!”
Wang Defa breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they weren't looking for the stone anymore.
...
Xinghe Dynasty.
“Cough, cough! How is it? Have you found Qingshan?” Coughing, the Emperor asked the shadow guard captain below.
“In response to Your Majesty, no...”
The Emperor had also received news claiming that the Heavenly Demon Sect was actually the Qingshan Sect.
Consequently, he had also sent people to search for it.
In the end, they had found nothing...
“What is that eunuch thief doing now?” The Emperor inquired again.
He felt that this eunuch thief had been acting a bit strange lately. He was too quiet.
It had been a long time since he last caused trouble. Was he plotting some evil scheme?
The shadow guard captain said, “He has been in seclusion and hasn't come out. I do not know if it is real or fake!”
The Emperor nodded. “Keep a close eye on him. Perhaps he will find the Qingshan Sect first!!”
“Yes!”
...
After returning to the Xinghe Dynasty, Ye Fan was still angry.
This trip had been in vain; he had gained nothing.
“Nine Thousand Years, there is news of the Qingshan Sect.”
Just then, a guard's report came from outside the door.
