I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 141: Level Agent! Secret Whisperer!
As the night deepened, men, women, old and young in Kaifeng Prefecture gathered together, making it very lively.

A sixty-year-old swordsman in white sat in the first seat, his silver hair like frost tied behind his head, looking neat and tidy. He was the chief of the three major sects in the martial arts world, the first disciple of the Eight Treasures Yunxiao Temple on Mount Emei, and the White Cloud Swordsman Xiahou Ren, who ranked fourteenth on the list of the seventy-two heroes of the earth.

Next to the Baiyun Swordsman sat another fat monk in his 80s.

He was wearing a gray monk's robe and a golden cassock. A string of Buddhist beads that had been polished to a smooth surface was wrapped around his stubby and powerful fingers.

The monk's face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, but he was still energetic, with a gleam in his eyes.

He is the head of the Shaolin Temple's Bodhidharma Academy, Ouyang Zhonghui, the 27th-ranked Buddha of Great Strength on the Earthly Fiend List, and the uncle of the Northern Hero Ouyang Chun.

Together with the first disciple of the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, the high-level mage Zhang Shouzhen, who is ranked 13th on the Earthly Demon List, and Mu Guiying, the Marquis of Huntian, who is ranked 7th, four of the world's top masters have gathered in the small Kaifeng government office, which is a rare sight in the city of Bianliang.

After a few pleasantries, Ouyang Zhonghui asked:
"I heard that a strong man from another country came to Bianliang City to provoke us. I wonder why?"

Zhang Shouzhen waved his whisk and said with some pride:
"The Liao dog Xiao Wuli was not satisfied with his ranking of 69th on the Earthly Demon List, so he came to challenge Bianliang City. Although his power has greatly increased recently, he was still hit by my sword and fled with injuries. I guess he won't dare to come again in the short term."

Xiahou Ren gently twirled his beard and said in confusion:

"The mere reputation of being on the Earthly Fiends List doesn't seem to be enough to make Xiao Woli start a war and come all the way to provoke. This person has always been cunning, and I don't know what his purpose is."

Zhang Shouzhen sneered:
"Who cares what Liao dog's intentions are? I, uh, and the other Taoist friends are here to guard the place. Even if he has thousands of troops, what's the point?"

Mu Guiying frowned slightly:
"We are not afraid of a direct encounter, but we must guard against him plotting and scheming in secret to endanger the safety of Bianliang City."

Zhang Shouzhen shook his head:
"Xiao Wo Li was defeated by me. He won't be able to recover for at least ten days or half a month. There's nothing to worry about."

Seeing Zhang Shouzhen so arrogant, everyone was quite disapproving, but he was of a very high generation and had a narrow mind, so it was not easy to argue with him.

No one spoke for a while, and the scene was a little awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Song Bao Luohan Ouyang Chun spoke:
"Seniors, there is one more thing I must mention. Last night, a monk who was imprisoned in Daxiangguo Temple was disemboweled, and two monks in the same ordination room were also killed. However, no trace of the murderer was found at the scene. What's even more strange is that the defense formation of Daxiangguo Temple did not give any warning from beginning to end. I don't know what happened."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color. Daxiangguo Temple was also a holy place for Buddhism, and their defense formation was extremely powerful. Even a strong man in the sixth realm might not be able to sneak in and kill people silently.

Mu Guiying fell into deep thought after hearing this, and said after a while:
"I heard that the monk Fahui who was killed had investigated the Zhu family's massacre and had come into contact with practitioners of the demonic path. Perhaps the other party had planted some evil means in him."

Ouyang Chun nodded:
"Marshal Mu is right, but why do we do this? If that evil cultist wants to kill Junior Brother Fahui, it would be a piece of cake. Why do we need to do this?"

At this time, Zhang Shouzhen sneered and said:
"The people of the Devil Way are all evil followers with twisted souls. How can their actions be justified?"

Mu Guiying sighed and was about to speak when someone came to report to Jiang Ping:
"Master Jiang, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He said Li Qingyun sent him."

Zhang Shouzhen was immediately interested when he heard this:

"Well, that little kid Li Qingyun is very interesting. I was wondering why he wasn't here. It turns out he had other business to attend to."

When Mu Guiying heard Li Qingyun's name, she couldn't help but raise her head and looked outside the door curiously with her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Ping said hurriedly:

"Invite him in."

Not long after, everyone saw a tall middle-aged man walking in with a cloth bag, followed by a dozen ragged women.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what play Li Qingyun was going to perform this time.

The middle-aged man came in, neither bowed nor knelt, but stood in the middle of the main hall with his horse and sword, and said loudly:

"I am here on the orders of my master Li Qingyun to hand over the head of Xing Zifang, the fourth master of Xiaoyao Tower, as well as the dozen decent women he rescued."

Zhang Shouzhen and other strong men looked at this man in surprise when they saw his appearance.

They had profound cultivation and could naturally tell that this was a powerful warrior in the fifth realm. Although his aura was not as profound and powerful as those of the masters on the Earthly Evil List, he was by no means an ordinary person and he looked very unfamiliar.

Such a master actually regards Li Qingyun as his "master"?
Mu Guiying knew that Li Qingyun had some secrets, but she didn't expect that he would have a servant in the fifth realm. She couldn't help but improve her evaluation of this young master.

She smiled and asked:

"May I ask your name? Which master are you a disciple of?"

The middle-aged man said without hesitation:

"I don't have a name, nor do I have a master. The name my master gave me is 'Li Yingqi'."

Now everyone was even more curious. Without any school, any sect, or any master, one could cultivate to the fifth level?
At this time, Jiang Ping and Fang Shuan came over and took the abducted women away to make other arrangements. Everyone invited Li Yingqi to sit down and kept asking him about his background, but Li Yingqi kept his head high and his answers were all short and perfunctory sentences like "I don't know" and "I haven't heard of it", as if he was not interested in anything.

But such a cold attitude made him look even more mysterious. However, the powerful men took care of their own identities and quickly changed the topic.

After everyone chatted for a while, Li Qingyun also arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture.

His speed was much faster than Li Yingqi who was carrying a dozen sick and weak women, so although he spent some more time in Wuyou Cave, the time he returned was not much different.

Li Yingqi was the first to jump up from his chair, rushed to Li Qingyun, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully:

"Master, the task you ordered has been completed."

Li Qingyun nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said:
"Thank you, you did a great job. Please wait here for a moment. I will take you back to the Changle Gang Hero Building in a moment."

The knights were all shocked to see Li Qingyun returning covered in blood. Bai Yunrui stood up first and asked:

"Qingyun, are you injured?"

Li Qingyun smiled and shook his head:
"I got a clue about Xiaoyao Tower, went to Wuyou Cave, and killed a few villains on the wanted list."

As he spoke, he untied the bulging sack on his back, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen bloody heads were thrown to the ground like rag bags, rolling around. The air was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood.

Everyone present was a cultivator who had experienced many battles, so they were naturally not afraid of such a scene, but each of them had an expression of disbelief and surprise on their faces.

Bai Yunrui's eyes were as big as copper bells. He glanced at the heads of the people on the ground and said in shock:
"This is Ruan Xiliang, the second in command of Xiaoyao Tower, and that is Xiang Shengchun...ah...and there's also the head of Xiong Mingda!"

He counted seven or eight heads in a row, then looked at Li Qingyun with surprise and said:
"Qingyun, there are so many of us, and we have been investigating for such a long time, but we haven't caught any of these people. You actually caught them all tonight. How...how did you do it?" Li Qingyun said with a smile:
"It was just a fluke, not worth mentioning. However, although many leaders of Xiaoyao Tower have died, they have not been completely uprooted. We should take this opportunity to pursue them and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Bai Yunrui nodded:
"That's right. Now that they have suffered a heavy blow and are not functioning properly, more and more flaws will be exposed. I will sort out the intelligence tonight and organize a large-scale operation to wipe out Wuyou Cave as soon as possible. We must eradicate them completely and restore peace to Bianliang City."

After discussing this matter, several strong men expressed their interest in Li Yingqi again. Li Qingyun only said that he was an old servant in his Changle Gang, and temporarily perfunctorily passed it off, without revealing the matter of the "Qiongqi" golden tablet.

After sitting for a while, he said he was exhausted and needed to change clothes, so he left and took Li Yingqi back to the Hero Building of Changle Gang.

……

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Li Qingyun arranged a place for Li Yingqi to stay. After washing up, he changed into clean clothes and sat down in front of the table with a serious expression.

He has accumulated enough energy and blood, and is ready to be promoted to a fourth-level agent tonight to obtain more gifts from the gods.

Something big will soon happen in Bianliang City, and he needs more means to deal with the approaching danger.

Li Qingyun was very cautious in weighing the pros and cons of improving the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong and becoming a "Secret Whisperer". He did some divination and finally chose the latter according to the revelation.

Closing his eyes and holding his breath, Li Qingyun quickly entered into meditation, silently expressing his desire to sacrifice his qi and blood to improve his rank.

Instantly, he received a response from the mysterious god...

[The agent sacrifices the blood and energy of ten thousand souls to improve his rank! ]

[Current rank: Level 4 'Secret Whisperer'. ]

[Sacrifice 50,000 souls, qi and blood to be promoted to the fifth level 'Holy Judge'. ]

[Remaining Qi and Blood: One Thousand and Ninety-Eight Souls]

[The whisperer obtains the magical power - 'Bashe swallows elephant']

[The fate plate changes the world, the way of heaven is unpredictable, I speak for myself. The agent sacrifices the power of fate, can use the power of the gods to control the fate of others, seize their fate, occupy their memories and opportunities, and completely replace them in the mysterious world. The fourth-level "secret whisperer" cannot use the "Parasite swallowing elephant" method on cultivators above the fourth level. 】

【…】

[The Dark Whisperer's "Soul Devouring" magical power has been strengthened, and can obtain more Qi and blood power from the spirits of dead monks. ]

[The "dance" ability of the secret speaker has been strengthened, and the upper limit of the deduction of the skills has been raised to the fifth level. ]

[The "Heavenly Secret Change" magical power of the Secret Whisperer has been strengthened, and the power of destiny gained every day has increased significantly. 】

【…】

After the sacrifice, Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, thinking back on the experience, and wondering:
"Fate..."

After being promoted to the fourth-level "Secret Whisperer", Li Qingyun finally verified his guess.

The magical power bestowed upon him by the secret god is actually the ability to continuously improve his destiny.

From the "divination" power of peeking into fate, to the "heavenly secrets change" of modifying fate to a certain extent, to the current "Bassnake swallowing an elephant" of directly taking away the fate of others, it has progressed layer by layer and become stronger and stronger.

With the help of the magical power of "Bassnake Swallowing Elephant" and the seventy-two transformations he already possessed, Li Qingyun can now completely disguise himself as another person. No matter his body shape, appearance, aura, cultivation, or even memory and destiny, they can all be perfectly copied. Even those spiritual practitioners and shamans who can peek into fate to a certain extent cannot use divination to distinguish the authenticity.

This skill is quite useful, especially when Li Qingyun has offended Zhao Dezhao, the sixth-level Hunyuan Grandmaster. He can find a damned person who has committed many evil deeds at any time, seize the other person's fate, change his appearance, and completely get rid of tracking.

Of course, this is just a last resort.

He certainly didn't want to be forced to live under someone else's identity unless it was absolutely necessary, but with this method as a backup, the pressure on him was much less.

After calming himself down a bit, Li Qingyun resumed his meditation and immediately returned to the mysterious palace, preparing to use the remaining energy and blood to continue improving his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong.

But as soon as he entered the temple, he was shocked.

In the palace, under the throne, the eternal thick gray-white fog was boiling, and at the end, as if the world was created, a magnificent and towering gate suddenly appeared, towering into the sky and majestic.

Around the portal, one can vaguely see clouds and mist, as if countless gods are flying in it, guarding this sacred door leading to an unknown realm.

Li Qingyun took a long breath, and with a thought, he flew up from the throne and floated towards the gate.

He could already feel that behind the huge portal lay the true secret of the supreme god.

Great curiosity drove Li Qingyun forward quickly. In just a moment, he had crossed the endless gray fog and came to the front of the huge portal.

But at this moment, an invisible barrier blocked his way forward.

The barrier is soft and gentle, yet has an irresistible power. It carries no threat, yet can make people surrender willingly.

Li Qingyun stopped and hung himself above the gray fog, observing the portal quietly.

The huge door, as if made of countless mountains, is carved with intricate and mysterious runes. It is full of infinite power and contains the mysteries of ancient laws and destiny.

Suddenly, a majestic thought entered his mind and turned into a majestic voice, ringing in his ears:

"The agent Li Qingyun has been promoted to the fourth-level 'Secret Whisperer' and has the opportunity to receive the inheritance of the gods!
“Complete the three tests and you will be recognized by the gods!

"Are you willing to accept the test and become the true chosen one of God?"

Li Qingyun was shocked, but having come this far, he never considered turning back, so he said without hesitation:
"I accept!"

The next moment, that solemn and majestic voice continued to sound:
"The first test..."

……
