Chapter 332 - Low-Profile Demon (1/2)

I've never met Sha Qishan before and even when I was in Eastern Sea, I was using Long Yue's identity; so why is he looking for me?

Zhong Yue was puzzled. Tian Mo Concubine then took out another portrait as she said, "Other than you, there is also the monster race Long Yue. The two of you are everywhere side by side in the city."

She blinked her beautiful eyes and said with deep meaning, "Sha Qishan wouldn't do things without any solid reasons, placing the two of you together reminds me of a rumor."

Zhong Yue took over the two arts and looked at them carefully, his expression was unchanged as he asked with a smile, "What rumor?"

"Just a little rumor spreading in the monster land." Tian Mo Concubine stared closely at him, her eyes not blinking for even a split second, watching the changes on his face as she said, "There is a rumor in the East Barren that suggests Long Yue and Zhong Yue are the same person. Long Yue, Zhong Yue, they are both the Zhong Shan Clan member! Some evidence includes the same skills and techniques they used, such as… the Golden Crow wings, the Yin Yang Qi; and someone said that the Zhong Shan Clan member was seen carrying Long Yue's Fang Blade."

Zhong Yue's expression remained placid as he shook his head and refuted, "What's there to be surprise about for two men to cultivate the similar techniques? As for the rumor of me carrying Long Yue's Fang Blade, that is just pure nonsense, as my soul weapon is completely different from Long Yue's. He is the strongest and most talented young cultivator of the East Barren monster race, many placed us on the same level and compared us together. If there is a chance, I'd very much like to duel with him and see which of us is stronger."

Tian Mo Fei couldn't see through his expression and tell his true thoughts, she smiled and said, "This rumor is quite a popular one in the East Barren and many experts believe it. If you and Long Yue are really the same person, then this will be very interesting!"

The demon lady was excited, "Zhong Yue and Long Yue, both of you are young experts whose prowess exceed the limits of your cultivation levels, and you have different fortes. If you are the same person, the world will be in shock!"

Zhong Yue and Long Yue both had awe-inspiring achievements, they were both said to be the strongest and at the limit of the Qi Practitioners for their cultivation levels. The two of them were the pillars of the young generation of the Great Wilderness and East Barren, ones that their peers looked up to!

For the past few months, Zhong Yue had entered the Godlike Board, which made his reputation higher than Long Yue's; but in terms of prowess, the two had never met before, and no one could be sure if Zhong Yue could actually defeat Long Yue!

But if they were the same person, then the world would shake apart!

Zhong Yue felt troubled, there were too many clues he had left behind in the early days: the Golden Crow wings, the Yin Yang Qi, and the Fang Blade were all hints he had left behind during his early days where he was still inexperienced and naive. However, only a handful knew of these flaws, and additionally Gu Hongzi had helped him in wiping away these traces. One would have to spent months investigating and get through Swords Gate in order to know these details.

Investigating more deeply into Swords Gate was impossible; thus, the chance of him exposing his identity was nearly zero.

And yet, such a rumor was spreading like a disease, something must have went wrong.

Not many people know about this, only Junior Martial Sister Qiu, Elder Shui, Gu Hongzi, Jun Sixie and Feng Wuji. All of them except Feng Wuji are part of Swords Gate and they surely wouldn't say anything, while Feng Wuji is in the West Barren as the Xiao Mang high priest, he can't possibly run to the East Barren … Wait! If it's Feng Wuji … then it is most probable he still has a monster incarnation in East Barren! Would this incarnation of his be the one spreading the rumor?

Zhong Yue mulled that over to himself. If that's the case, then it will be really knotty….

Feng Wuji knew too much; he had snatched the lotus saint herb away from Feng Wuji's incarnation of Elder Pu, and Feng Wuji must think that he had the Saint Spirit. Feng Wuji would surely strike at him, even kill him!

Before, Feng Wuji was nonchalant about him, as he was only a minor figure. But when Elder Pu was exposed by Zhong Yue, Feng Wuji took a huge blow. His decades of plans were taken to the ground in a trice. For that, Feng Wuji would have taken Zhong Yue as his biggest enemy, and started his plotting to take down Zhong Yue!

Being on the target list of such an intelligent man was definitely not a fun thing.

It was a relatively small issue that the rumors were spreading, compared to the suspicions of Shi Buyi toward Long Yue's identity!

If the magnates of the monster race and Shi Buyi had realized Long Yue and Zhong Yue were the same person, he would definitely die a horrible death!

But how did the rumor reachto the oversea demon race?

He was puzzled, How did the oversea demon land receive word faster than the Great Wilderness? Sha Qishan listed both Zhong Yue and Long Yue in his wanted list, clearly he knows that we are the same person; is Feng Wuji also in the demon land? What an expert of the Feng Clan, the whole three generations of the Feng Clan are really incredible! There is no doubt, Feng Wuji must have someone in the demon land, but is it Xiao Mang experts, or did he have another demon incarnation?

Seems like I will have to conduct the duel between the two Yue's as soon as possible.

Zhong Yue nodded to himself. Feng Wuji knew of my secret, but he wouldn't know that I've cultivated my Long Yue incarnation. Only the duel of the two Yue's will eradicate all of the suspicions the world has about the rumor! Hmph, this duel between Zhong Yue and Long Yue will be interesting enough, perhaps earth-shaking news to the world?

For now, his Long Yue incarnation was in Gu Xia City, the wounded Gu Hongzi had hid himself somewhere in the world and the whole of Gu Xia City was in a state of disorder and chaos due to their missing city lord. As of now, the strongest existence in the city was Long Yue, and he had to stay behind to reorder and reorganize the monster factions in Gu Xia City.

------

Long Yue was sitting in the palace of the lord's manor while Gu Hongzi's subordinates were sitting below him. Suddenly, Long Yue thought of something, and summoned a monster Qi Practitioner. He wrote a letter and ordered, "Send it to Swords Gate and pass it to the Zhong Shan Clan member Zhong Yue, this is an invitation to a duel against me! Half a year later, I will await his arrival in the Fiery Capital of South Barren! If, of course, he is daring enough to take up my challenge!"

The Gu Xia City Qi Practitioners were shocked, the monster Qi Practitioner he summoned meticulously kept the letter and rushed toward the Great Wilderness immediately.

Long Yue laughed and said, "Brothers, spread the word, the world shall know of this duel and they will cheer for me!"
