"It’s just a pity about the Immortal Trapping Sword."
Zheng Fa listened on the side, bewildered.
He heard True Immortal Yun say, "Otherwise, we could have been like your temple, not only with an extra Immortal Sword but also an additional True Immortal cultivator."
This remark sparked a sudden guess in Zheng Fa’s mind:
Could it be that the other three swords of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords have been refined by the Supre Dao?
Was the Tianhe Sect’s Four Veins Ancestor’s substitution a success?
Oh, no, the Immortal Trapping Ancestor shouldn’t have.
In this sense, they probably want to break the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation to rescue the Four Veins Ancestor?
Taking this into account, the Four Sects’ attack on the Tianhe Sect yields a great profit—not only obtaining the Tianhe Relics but also gaining battle power at the True Immortal level.
The two exchanged a few more words about formation setup, then suddenly turned the topic to Zheng Fa:
"Master Zhitong, Shi Nandang, please keep an eye on him."
Zhitong’s gaze fell on Zheng Fa, without speaking.
"He carries the Holy Blood Seal."
Monk Zhitong was suddenly moved: "No wonder, Mr. Lu, you entrusted the Haori Disciples to him."
True Immortal Yun shook his head, gave Zheng Fa a peculiar look, "It wasn’t who entrusted the Haori Disciples to him; it’s that the Haori Disciples, except for , probably respect him the most. Entrusting them to soone else would lead to disaster."
Monk Zhitong’s gaze grew increasingly curious.
He scrutinized Zheng Fa, evidently recognizing Zheng Fa’s remarkable qualities, and said earnestly, "Rest assured, Dao Brother."
Zheng Fa understood clearly that True Immortal Yun wasn’t rely guarding against the Nine Nether Demon Sect; perhaps what he feared most was the Supre Dao and Turquoise Pool striking in secret.
True Immortal Yun was indeed quite kind.
The two discussed the schedule following True Immortal Yun’s arrangent, and Zhitong suddenly ntioned the Hundred Immortals Alliance: "What do you think of the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
"If left unchecked, it will sooner or later beco a major hidden threat." True Immortal Yun’s expression turned cold, "But the problem is Shuyu Dragon Lord is blocking the way, and my Haori Mountain lacks the strength."
Zheng Fa listened quietly.
"Wouldn’t Zheng Fa use external forces? Wouldn’t Haori Mountain do the sa?"
Monk Zhitong’s words left Zheng Fa baffled.
Yet True Immortal Yun’s expression suddenly changed, his mouth moved as if he wanted to say sothing.
Monk Zhitong continued, "This matter is Mr. Lu’s idea."
True Immortal Yun fell silent for a long ti, then spoke, "I understand..."
As Monk Zhitong bid farewell, True Immortal Yun’s face still carried a heavy heart, his brow furrowed, seemingly caught in a dilemma.
What kind of riddle are you two trying to solve?
Zheng Fa could see clearly though; True Immortal Yun might not be guarding against him, rather this matter seed sowhat taboo.
Neither he nor Zhitong wished to speak plainly.
...
Zheng Fa stayed at the Tianhe Sect’s courtyard, right next to True Immortal Yun’s courtyard, sensing True Immortal Yun’s protective intent.
He walked into the courtyard, still contemplating Monk Zhitong’s words.
External forces?
If it’s external forces like Shuyu Dragon Lord, it’s quite easy to guess.
It’s either an Ancient Immortal.
Or, it’s... the Demon Ancestor.
Judging from Lu Yao Primordial Demon Ancestor’s identity and True Immortal Yun’s hesitation, the probability of it being the Demon Ancestor is higher.
This implies that Haori Mountain seems to have channels of contact or even command over a Demon Ancestor.
The issue is that this matter is top-secret even within Haori Mountain; Zheng Fa can only speculate, unable to confirm, much less guard against it.
And, who knows which Demon Ancestor Haori Mountain is able to contact, or several?
Thinking of this, even Zheng Fa couldn’t help but start feeling the headache.
He initially thought Haori Mountain was very weak but didn’t expect this sect to have such a trump card.
Yet even with his current status at Haori Mountain, he’s still not in contact with such secrets.
...
Lord Nichang sat in the hall, her expression relaxed, reporting the Tianhe Camp’s recent changes to Zheng Fa as she had done in the past few days.
"True Immortal Yun has brought the Haori Disciples to Haori Mountain..."
"There’s a cultivator nad Shi Nandang who’s extrely valued by True Immortal Yun."
"Recently, several spies from the Nine Nether Demon Sect have been captured in the camp..."
She selectively reported news about Haori Mountain and Leiyin Temple, barely ntioned the Supre Dao.
As for the information regarding Turquoise Pool, it was sparse and sowhat ambiguous.
In this way, she could both deepen her relationship with Zheng Fa and pose no harm to the sect.
She even secretly harbored so expectations:
If Zheng Fa could take advantage of True Immortal Yun breaking the formation and attack Haori Mountain, it would be even better.
Therefore, she reported True Immortal Yun’s movents particularly attentively.
After a while, Zheng Fa suddenly responded with a Spirit Letter:
"Didn’t Doist Li return to the Supre Dao?"
"Yes, he did return..."
Lord Nichang had just spoken half a sentence when her eyelids suddenly twitched.
How did Zheng Fa know this?
Nowadays, the large formation in the camp is extrely tight, and no one is allowed to leave privately.
But Doist Li’s movents aren’t sothing common cultivators can discern—even for Turquoise Pool, only she knows!
Where did Zheng Fa gather this from?
Within the Comprehensive Records, Zheng Fa sent another inquiry:
"Didn’t your Turquoise Pool just have a group of disciples arrive last night?"
Lord Nichang’s eyes turned slightly dazed.
Turquoise Pool indeed just arrived with a batch of Divinity Transformation disciples, on the night before.
This was because True Immortal Yun ntioned that the ans in obtaining Tianhe Relics were based on skill, leading Lord Nichang to feel that Turquoise Pool brought too few Divinity Transformation disciples, potentially suffering a disadvantage, hence summoned them from the sect.
Not only Turquoise Pool, even the Supre Dao sent disciples over.
Only Leiyin Temple was unable to bring Divinity Transformation disciples due to the sea domain blockade.
Lord Nichang rose from her chair, her mind muddled:
If Zheng Fa knew Turquoise Pool had sent people to the East Continent, she wouldn’t be surprised, after all, anyone attempting to cross the sea domain has a hard ti hiding from Shuyu Dragon Lord.
But Zheng Fa knowing this group of disciples arrived at the camp last night... that was truly terrifying.
Despite the distance between the Tianhe Sect and the Hundred Immortals Alliance, could there be soone communicating with Zheng Fa?
The individuals who most likely know Doist Li’s whereabouts are surely the Four Sects’ core mbers!
Lord Nichang suddenly felt uneasy; she walked to the door of the hall, glanced outside, her heart chilled, feeling as if everyone looked like Zheng Fa’s spy.
She even felt there was an eye hovering in the sky, watching the entire camp, the entire Tianhe Sect.
The Alliance Hierarch seed omniscient!
Lord Nichang’s face grew bitter:
Did he know about her previous obfuscation, maybe even deception?
