New Version

The hidden truth:

"The Blood Demon Cult is searching for elderly and frail cultivators in the city to teach them the secret techniques of longevity from the 'Blood Demon Scripture' - Blood Longevity."

"To perform this, children under the age of 10 are needed to extract 1% of pure life essence through a secret method, at the cost of falling into the Demon Dao, gradually leading to a distorted mind and eternal entrapment."

"These elderly and frail cultivators will become pawns of the Demon Dao, playing a crucial role in the attack on Dragon Path City, secretly targeting the orthodox cultivators within Dragon Path City."

"The Baiyu Demon Cult is spreading the Baiyu Demon Seed within the city, using the Taihe Painting Boat and brothels to implant the demon seed through the union of yin and yang, targeting some extremely depraved ordinary people."

"When their evil thoughts reach a certain level, the demon seed will diffuse within their bodies, ultimately transforming them into distorted demon creatures."

"During this process, whenever their evil thoughts accumulate to a certain extent, they will seek out females to absorb their life force, enhancing their own power, briefly regaining their sanity, but ultimately gradually succumbing to distortion."

"The people of the Ghost King Temple in Chujiang have appeared on the Taihe River, causing the sinking of the boat and the ghostly events."

"Among them, the sinking of the boat was to kill the guardian cultivator of the East Gate, Xu Qingming."

"Allowing the controlled cultivators to replace the city gate, while using the Ghost King Temple to attract the attention of Jixia Academy and the official authorities, concealing the Demon Dao's plan."

"Outside the north of the city lies the ruins of the True Teaching, cultivating a type of monster called the Blood Demon, which is incredibly powerful and can destroy cities, pollute the surrounding area for miles, and control all the creatures it absorbs, serving as one of the trump cards for the Demon Dao's attack on Dragon Path City."

"The entire plan involves disrupting the Demon-sealing Palace through the Blood Demon Seed and Blood Demon Offspring, corrupting ordinary people, creating countless flesh and blood puppets, while also destroying the protective array of Dragon Path City."

"Then, utilizing the defected cultivators of the past decade, the corrupted ordinary people, to assassinate various orthodox and official cultivators within the city, spreading chaos and carnage."

"Finally, luring out the true form of the Master of Jixia Academy, where the highest leaders of the Blood Demon Cult and Baiyu Demon Cult will personally take action to kill the contemporary Master."

"Ultimately completing the annihilation of the entire Dragon Path City."

Looking at the truth revealed by the Jade Tablet, Li Qing's expression turned grave. "This cult is truly terrifying. The entire plan has been in place for the past 10 years."

"Now, various materials in the market have started to rise in price. It seems that all the orthodox sects are preparing for battle. They may not know what will happen, but they are all making preparations."

At this point, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"So, the whole situation is clear now. We can start targeted arrangements now."

...

Li Qing took out a new blank book and began to write down his plan.

After meticulously checking for loopholes, a perfect plan emerged after a whole day.

"Step 1, identify all the individuals involved in this plan."

The shadow paper figures began to act, swiftly searching for the individuals involved in the reconstructed plan.

First, the guardian cultivators in the north of the city, those who have been identified as undercover agents of the Demon Dao.

Next, all the elderly cultivators within the city, are within the surveillance range of the shadow paper figures.

Their identities need to be investigated, which will take some time and will need to be verified through the Jade Tablet.

At this point, he began his second step.

"Next is to practice the 'Dream Entry Technique'."

This is a spell from the "Encyclopedia of Law Spells of the World".

Its effect is extremely miraculous, although it does not have any lethal power.

"Dream Entry Technique" (Spell)

Method of practice: Grind the Dream Spirit Flower and essence blood into a paste, then inscribe the "Dream Spirit Incantation" on one's forehead. Once mastered, it allows a strand of spirit to enter the dreams of others, with the limitation of not staying for more than a quarter of an hour, and the target's cultivation level cannot exceed that of the user, otherwise the spirit of the target will contaminate the user's spirit, leading to the distortion and entrapment of the user's spirit.

Li Qing had already purchased the Dream Spirit Flower, costing him 2 Essence Qi stones.

This is a plant that grows in a special environment. Legend has it that when ground and ingested with water, it can make one's wishes come true in the dream world.

The Dream Spirit Flower is a pure white flower. Li Qing placed it in a ceramic bowl and carefully ground it.

Soon, he released fresh blood from his fingertips, submerging half of the bowl, then thoroughly blended it with a pestle.

Taking a pen, he dipped it in the fresh blood and inscribed the incantation on his forehead in front of a bronze mirror.

The "Dream Spirit Incantation" was not very long, consisting of only about 100 words.

With precise control, he inscribed the entire incantation on his forehead.

These characters were very eerie, and once written, they seemed to be imprinted on his forehead, leaving no excess ink.

As soon as the incantation was completed, the characters began to rotate rapidly.

In the next instant, they disappeared from Li Qing's forehead.

In Li Qing's sea of consciousness, a dreamlike radiance appeared, violently contracting into a jelly-like, colorful substance.

Seeing this unique structure, Li Qing's heart stirred slightly.

His consciousness connected with the colorful substance, and the radiant light silently transformed into an invisible thread, freely moving in the air under his control.

As long as he wished, he could make this thing take any form and invade the dreams of the target.

By this time, it was already dusk outside, and night had fallen.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Blood Demon Seed had already devoured the eighth monster.

After devouring two more, the Demon Dao's plan could start at any moment.

During these two days, the shadow paper figures also made rich gains, uncovering 200 individuals suspected to be associated with the cult.

Li Qing wrote their names in a record book and verified their authenticity through the Jade Tablet.

Finally, 245 individuals were confirmed, involving the instructors of Jixia Academy, some hidden Independent Cultivators, the royal mansion, government officials, Demon Slaying Temple, women from the Taihe Painting Boat, and various ordinary people who had been implanted with the demon seed.

Some had joined the Blood Demon Cult, some had been implanted with the Baiyu Demon Seed, and some were originally members of the cult.

The reason these individuals' identities could be confirmed was also thanks to the fusion of various clues, which led to the exposure of each of them.

After organizing all the names, a glint of determination appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

"All the information is ready. Now, it's time to execute my plan."

That night, Li Qing quietly left Jixia Academy and headed towards a household.

In an ordinary courtyard, there was an unassuming scholar.
