As Dao Zhengyi finished speaking, he walked towards the long row of rooms behind him.
Shen Ye couldn't help but nod inwardly.
This person was good; he worked hard for money and treated all fairly.
And handled affairs quite efficiently.
Such honest and skilled people were becoming rarer.
Shen Ye waited in place for a while.
Dao Zhengyi, taking asured steps, ca out from a room at the end of the hallway and slowly returned to Shen Ye's side.
"It's settled, report now," he conveyed through a psychic ssage.
Shen Ye released his spiritual power and tapped his finger on the row of small characters.
The characters imdiately went out and disappeared from the screen.
Dao Zhengyi imdiately took out a token and handed it to Shen Ye.
"With this token, go to Panlong Town to report—hurry, before soone else grabs the task," he said quickly.
Hearing this, Shen Ye, not wanting to wait for unforeseen changes, turned around, left the affairs office, and with a leap, he flew towards the sect's exterior.
Mid-flight, he rembered Pei Pei, who had been wanting to escape, and went to Mysterious Gate Mountain to pick her up.
As the door to the dwelling opened,
Pei Pei could be seen sitting in the courtyard, her eyes red and filled with despair.
"Let's go!"
Shen Ye spoke a single word.
Pei Pei almost imdiately leaped up and hurried to Shen Ye's side in a few steps.
Shen Ye grabbed her and turned to leave.
The two took to the sky, swiftly flying towards the outskirts of the sect.
Indeed, this ti the journey was smooth.
Shen Ye looked back only to see that the Supre Binding Life Refining Soul Palace, despite covering the entire sect, remained motionless, as if it had lost control.
The owner of the Dharma Aspect was busy with sothing else!
Shen Ye, with Pei Pei in tow, arrived at the mid-mountain, where they were stopped by the Law Enforcent Cultivator guarding the place.
After checking the mission token, he nodded and said,
"Teleportation Array number five at the foot of the mountain."
He cast spell onto the token and then tossed it back, clearing the way.
Shen Ye gave a bow of thanks and, together with Pei Pei, flew off.
At that mont, a thunderous voice resounded within the sect:
"Hearing of the Supre Tao Palace's unmatched strength, I have co today to exchange pointers, and I hope the Sect Master Saint does not begrudge this opportunity for instruction!"
Shen Ye paused mid-air and then hurried towards the foot of the mountain even faster.
This made sense!
According to Pei Pei, the Sect Leader had exhausted much of his strength in killing Yun Ni and was now facing the challenge of soone else attacking his sect.
—He had no ti to worry about a small fry like himself!
The two reached the foot of the mountain at top speed.
The spiritual energy within the sect had already beco turbulent.
The Sect Master Saint's voice had yet to ring out.
A storm was brewing!
"Brother! Please activate the Teleportation Array; I'm in a hurry!" Shen Ye handed the token to the sect disciple guarding the Array.
"You're leaving now? You'd be better off watching the Sect Leader triumphantly defeat his enemies; it would benefit your cultivation."
The Array disciple said with a smile.
The other disciples nodded and echoed his words.
Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, Pei Pei suddenly stepped forward, pleading urgently:
"My hotown is experiencing a flood; I ask the young master to save my family's lives, please let us through, brothers."
She appeared both urgent and sad, tears streaming down her face.
Everyone paused.
"It seems so places are indeed suffering from floods; better hurry there, then."
One of the Array disciples cast a spell, activating the Teleportation Array.
"Thank you all, brothers," Shen Ye said.
He pulled Pei Pei onto the Array and stood firm in the center.
The other disciples also helped out, casting spells to activate the Array.
Space flashed.
Shen Ye and Pei Pei disappeared.
The disciples stopped their spells and withdrew their gaze, all looking towards the interior of the sect together.
"What a pity, witnessing such a level of combat would have greatly benefited one's cultivation, yet this Mysterious Gate disciple gave up the chance to observe it. Instead, he's running around for mundane affairs,—how foolish," one disciple said.
The others all nodded in agreent.
Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred—
A majestic blast of Technique light descended from the sky; in just a mont, it pierced the sky and struck at the foot of the mountain.
All the disciples present, along with the Array, vanished in an instant.
Then, bursts of Techniques rained down like a storm, striking various parts of the Supre Sect.
"Stop, you're courting death!"
The Sect Master Saint's roar thundered through the heavens.
...
Panlong Town.
The Teleportation Array flashed.
Shen Ye and Pei Pei appeared in the center of the Array.
"Who goes there?"
The two cultivators guarding the Array asked.
Shen Ye tossed his Token over to them.
The cultivators caught it and inspected it, seeing a mission, Sect approval, the divine seal of the affairs office, the stamp of duty from the gatekeepers, and records of Array teleportation.
All procedures were complete.
Then, one of the cultivators said with a smile,
"So it's Junior Brother who has arrived, unfortunately, the Great Elder on duty has taken people down to the Demon Abyss."
"There's a vacant cave dwelling that I've marked for you, you can rest there first, and then go to the affairs office in town at noon to register and leave your imprint."
The Token was returned.
Shen Ye released his spiritual power, sweeping it over the Token.
As expected, there was a map and spell markings.
"Thank you both, Senior Brothers."
He led Pei Pei away from the Teleportation Array and made his way into town.
The town was bustling with extraordinary activity.
Cultivators were coming and going, in an endless stream.
Both sides of the streets were packed with shops, while vendors sold various items on the road.
Shen Ye did not look around much, leading Pei Pei through the crowd and turning off the busy street into a quiet alley.
"This is it."
He took out his Token and activated the spell on it.
The door lock of a courtyard sounded, automatically opening with a tallic clanging sound.
The two entered the courtyard and looked around.
This cave dwelling was very clean, though small, it was adequate to house a cultivator and at least two subordinates.
"Sect Master, you still have many Spirit Stones left, I'll go buy an Array Plate to bring back."
Pei Pei communicated telepathically.
Shen Ye glanced at her, imdiately understanding her concerns.
—The Sect had already prohibited the use of Array Plates.
But this was outside the Sect!
The two of them needed a secure environnt in order to calmly plan their next moves.
"You must pick a good one, it must be capable of isolation and defense."
"Don't worry, young master!"
Pei Pei quickly left.
Shen Ye watched her joyful figure and couldn't help but nod to himself.
Now that Pei Pei had been brought out of the Sect by him, she felt he hadn't abandoned her, and having successfully escaped—
She was going to help him with all her might!
In that case,
He also had sothing very important to do imdiately.
Shen Ye walked into the room, shut the door, and released his Dharma Aspect.
A boundless black torrent of destruction filled the room, isolating everything from the outside.
—This could only be used temporarily.
If soone else saw it, they'd be curious about the origin of these black torrents of destruction.
At that mont, Shen Ye couldn't care about much else, first isolating everything, then taking a deep breath, he released the rest of his spiritual power and shouted lowly,
"Gate!"
Indeed.
With his original strength, he could only open the Seal Gate three tis per day.
But now all his Attributes had been raised to 300 points, and even his free attribute points had reached 300!
Now, filling his drained Attributes with the free attribute points, he imdiately gained the basic strength to open the gate again.
A Seal Gate quietly opened.
Inside, there was a heavy black coffin, the walls and floor around it covered in flickering Runes.
—It was indeed the Seal Land where Yun Ni was sealed!
"Yun Ni?"
Shen Ye called out.
After a few breaths,
A faint female voice ca from the coffin:
"My situation seems to have stabilized, the Heart Demon is suppressed by , no longer able to erode my Spirit Soul."
"Thank you, Shen Ye."
Shen Ye's gaze flickered, and he spoke, "No need for thanks, can you co out now?"
"I can at any mont, let out." The voice from the coffin responded.
"...I do want to let you out, but there's sothing I must tell you in advance," Shen Ye said.
"What is it?" the voice from the coffin inquired.
Shen Ye paused for a few breaths before saying,
"Where is the real Yun Ni?"
"You're talking nonsense, I am Yun Ni," the voice from the coffin exclaid in surprise.
"No, you're not her—you're her Heart Demon," Shen Ye said.
"Are you sick in the head? I am Yun Ni, you personally put in here, don't you rember?" the female voice said.
Shen Ye's tone beca grave, but he spoke of another matter,
"Once I use the Demon-Subduing Pestle to destroy the divine statue of the Supre Tao Palace, what will happen next?"
"—Don't tell there's power hidden inside it capable of destroying the entire Taoist Palace."
The female voice was silent.
Shen Ye continued, "You replaced Yun Ni, appearing in the Supre Tao Palace, fighting to survive and protect yourself until driven into a corner—"
"So where did the real Yun Ni go?"
