Chapter 321: There is a Mo Sect Spy in the Yushu Jiange!

Most people hearing Yu Shao's recent words would focus on the word "fleeing."

However, Lu Yang was different.

Other truly quick-witted individuals would likewise only focus on Yu Shao's statement: "What cultivation does Daoist Ye possess? In the Xuanling Realm, he is even considered an Immortal of Heaven in office."

Regarding the intelligence on the 【Xuanling Realm】, the Ancestor of the Yun Family had already explained it to Lu Yang: "Merit in the Dao, action on the earth, receiving the Heavenly Book to enter the Heavenly Court, governing the world and ruling heaven, this is called 【Immortal of Heaven】; and above the Immortal of Heaven, it is very likely the True Lord!" Given this, what cultivation level is an Immortal of Heaven?

'Foundation Establishment Perfection!'

This was the truly valuable intelligence: the True Person of the Yushu Jiange who purges demons had, without anyone noticing, already broken through the late stage and quietly achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection!

'Selling this to Junior Uncle Master Chongguang will definitely earn another profit!'

At the same time, the atmosphere in the main hall also seemed somewhat quiet; Lu Yang was not the only smart person, and others had also noticed the key point.

However, no one dared to speak it aloud.

After all, a Great True Person of Foundation Establishment Perfection who does not actively release his aura indicates he has no intention of exposing himself. Under such circumstances, how could one bring it up?

It is rare to be confused.

The next second, someone voluntarily started a topic: "I wonder, Daoist, why have you fled here? And how did you cross the void between realms to flee?"

At this moment, Yu Shao also realized he seemed to have said the wrong thing; he subconsciously looked at the True Person who purges demons, saw his expression was normal, and only then breathed a sigh of relief, quickly replying: "My Xuanling Realm governs over a hundred mortal realms, is proficient in the method of crossing, and has the Falling Mortal Realm as an anchor point; crossing is not a difficult matter."

"As for why we fled..."

Speaking to this point, Yu Shao could not help but sigh: "Since the new Supreme One ascended the throne and took hold of the Guan Qiankun, the Immortal Laws have been extremely strict; there was truly no other way."

Upon hearing these words, the entire hall fell silent.

The crowd was by no means foolish; although Yu Shao did not explain, they could all hear that the so-called Supreme One was likely the Jin Dan True Lord of the Xuanling Realm.

Under Yu Shao's narration, the full picture of the Xuanling Realm emerged.

The Xuanling Realm holds the Heavenly Court in highest regard, dividing into Ghost, Spirit, Human, Earth, and Heaven, totaling five ranks of Immortal positions, each performing their duties; only the strongest can ascend the throne and seize the Dao Fruit of the Supreme One.

Since the passing of the previous old Supreme One, more than a thousand years have passed.

Over these thousand years, various Immortals of Heaven fought each other, with great wars never ceasing, until over ten years ago, when one Immortal of Heaven defeated all rivals and ascended to the position of Supreme One.

Speaking to this point, hatred appeared on Yu Shao's face: "That man's name is 【Huan Shi】; he believed that the reason the Xuanling Realm was plagued by endless warfare and slaughter was due to a lack of laws, so he promulgated Immortal Laws to restrain the Immortals, ordering us to obey and follow, and thus we are no longer free."

"Such strictness, how can this be endured?"

Yu Shao sighed deeply: "I govern the Baochang Great Nation; under the constraints of the Immortal Laws, I cannot harm mortals, and even when engaging in magical duels with others, I must find a secluded place."

"Not to mention the Baochang Great Nation, where I preside over all matters of favorable weather and timely rain."

"From small human disasters to great natural calamities."

"Even the daily rainfall is counted drop by drop; if it exceeds the number set by the Immortal Laws, immediate arrest and execution follows, showing no mercy whatsoever."

Yu Shao carefully recounted the strictness of the Xuanling Realm, then looked at the crowd, expecting these external cultivators to share his common hatred.

However, what he saw was an expression of being used to it.

"I thought it was that strict, and that's it?"

"Not to mention the Jiangbeimo Sect, even the Dao Court is far stricter than this; at least these cultivators from beyond the sky can still flee, whereas in the Dao Court, one cannot even flee."

"And these Immortal Laws actually protect mortals?"

"In that case, the Xuanling Realm can actually be considered the Righteous Path."

Yu Shao: "???"

Seeing him covered in question marks, he thought his explanation was unclear and hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoists, there is a misunderstanding; that Supreme One once said publicly..."

Speaking to this point, he intensified his tone and said in a deep voice: "He said, 'We cultivators devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivating only ourselves without nourishing heaven and earth; we are a group of locusts devouring heaven and earth.' Such outrageous words—how could this be the Righteous Path? We Immortal cultivators are transcendent above the world; how can we be compared to insects and ants?"

As his words fell, the crowd looked at each other in confusion.

Then Yu Shao heard several True Persons of the Yushu Jiange say with puzzled expressions: "What is wrong with that? The Xuanling Realm has a very clear understanding of itself."

Cultivators being like insects and ants has long been a public consensus.

But so what?

The Holy Sect has never cared, the Pure Land doesn't mind at all, the Dao Court has its own sky, and as for the Yushu Jiange, they believe there is a distinction between harmful insects and beneficial insects among insects and ants.

And they are undoubtedly the beneficial insects.

They devour heaven and earth purely to help heaven and earth eliminate harmful insects like the Jiangbeimo Sect; if one calculates it properly, heaven and earth actually owe them karmic debts!

"..."

This time Yu Shao was completely speechless; he felt something was wrong somewhere and could only sigh: "In any case, the Xuanling Realm is likely about to invade the Jiangnan region."

Who would have thought these words would stir up a storm?

"What!?"

"How dare a demon do this!"

"Another Jiangbeimo Sect, not following the Righteous Path, deserves to be exterminated! Only after death can they be reincarnated as a menial disciple in our Yushu Jiange to repay all evil karmic debts!"

The crowd's faces instantly changed.

Seeing this appearance, Yu Shao's eye twitched slightly; he could not help but look at the True Person who purges demons and secretly transmitted his voice: 'Senior... you wouldn't happen to be from the Mo Sect, would you?'

"Of course not."

Seeing this, the True Person who purges demons could only sigh and transmit a voice in response: 'You should be fortunate to have met me; you have not yet seen the true Mo Sect.'

There are masters here too?

This time Yu Shao truly felt a chill in his heart; he had been here for a short time, and only now suddenly realized: is this realm a bit off?

At the same time, the True Person who purges demons finally spoke, calming all the noise, with a resounding tone: "Regardless, according to Daoist Yu's words, the Xuanling Realm is about to use the Ten Thousand People Pit as a springboard to enter our Jiangnan and wreak havoc. To prevent the people of Jiangnan from suffering, I intend to go to the Ten Thousand People Pit and find a way to sever their connection with the Xuanling Realm."

"However, this matter must absolutely not be known by Jiangbei."

The True Person who purges demons had a serious expression; the Mo Sect would not care about invasion or not, after all, the Xuanling Realm using the Ten Thousand People Pit as a springboard would only break into Jiangnan.

If the Mo Sect found out, they would only welcome it.

They might even actively assist.

Such incidents had occurred before; Jiangbei now hosts a Jin Dan sect, established by a great realm that once breached Jiangbei.

"Therefore, before we act, none of you shall depart on your own."

True Person Dangmo looked at the crowd. Originally, he had long wished to act, but the Mo Sect had somehow learned of the plan in advance, forcing him to wait until he broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment before moving.

And regarding the leak, those not within the Yushu Jiange and outside the True Lord's gaze were none other than the True Persons currently in this great hall.

In other words—

'Among these people, there is very likely a spy from the Mo Sect!'

In truth, True Person Dangmo alone was sufficient to conquer the Ten Thousand People Pit; the reason he invited these True Persons was primarily to root out that hidden spy.

For this, he needed an eye and ear hidden among these True Persons to help him test the suspects.

This eye and ear must be someone loyal, reliable, and honest.

Thinking thus, True Person Dangmo scanned the crowd present and quickly made his decision.

"Daoist Yun, I have a matter to entrust to you."

The Yun family, an old family of the Yushu Jiange, once produced a True Lord as well. Though now fallen, their roots are sound and their lineage black; they are certainly trustworthy.

……………

"Hello? Hello?"

In Jiangbei, Lu Yang activated his clone once more and retrieved the Flying Letter Spirit Book used to contact Master Chongguang.
