I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes began to operate within the Hidden Clan branch's headquarters under the pretext that "Senior Brother Yin Kui's injuries require someone to take care of him," "I am grateful to Senior Brother Yin Kui for saving my life and want to repay him," and that she subtly expressed her admiration and affection for Senior Brother Yin Kui.

She was already charming and attractive, and with her deliberately humble demeanor and sweet talk, she quickly became familiar with some of the hidden clan disciples who were responsible for chores, patrols, or were also recuperating and cultivating.

She didn't directly inquire about Yin Kui's core secrets, but instead approached it from the perspective of some "admirers":

"What does Senior Brother Yin Kui usually like to eat? I'd like to learn how to make some to nourish his body."

"I heard that Senior Brother Yin Kui was incredibly skilled even as a child? Could you tell me about his past? I admire heroes like him the most!"

"Is Senior Brother Yin Kui particularly diligent in his training? Does he have any unique habits or catchphrases? I'd like to know more about him."

These seemingly infatuated questions, combined with her perfectly timed shyness and adoring gaze, easily made the hidden disciples lower their guard. They were even happy to share some interesting anecdotes about Yin Kui with this beautiful woman who "might become his future sister-in-law."

In their view, this woman saved Senior Brother Yin Kui and was so devoted to him, and Senior Brother Yin Kui kept her by his side; perhaps it was truly a perfect match.

After several days of casual conversation and covert observation, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes compiled the fragmented information she had gathered and reported it to Zhang Yangqing:

"Brother, according to the information I've gathered, this Yin Kui had quite a fierce past."

"It is said that he was not particularly talented in his childhood. In the Hidden Clan, a clan that values ​​strength, he was even considered mediocre. As a result, he was often ostracized and bullied by his peers. The clan's resources were also tended to favor children who showed talent early on, and he received very little support."

"The turning point happened at the Bloodline Awakening Conference when he was fifteen years old. It was an important ceremony for the Hidden Clan to test the bloodline concentration and potential of the younger generation. At that time, almost no one was optimistic about him, and some even ridiculed him, saying that it would be a disgrace for him to go up there."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes continued telling her story. Just as the ceremony reached its climax, an astonishing change occurred in Yin Kui! The dormant bloodline within him seemed to be completely ignited, bursting forth with earth-shattering silver light and a dragon's roar!

According to those present at the time, the light shot into the sky, even triggering a resonance in the encampment's grand formation, and the faint phantom of an ancient hidden dragon appeared in the air! What he awakened was actually the 'Ancient Hidden Dragon Battle Blood,' which had long been diluted and was almost legendary among the Hidden Clan!
This is an extremely ancient and powerful bloodline, which not only endowed him with physical strength and power far exceeding those of his peers, but also gave him an innate affinity for the laws of earth and metal, making it twice as effective in cultivating related techniques!
This matter alarmed the clan leader, who was in seclusion at the time! The clan leader personally came out of seclusion to investigate, and after confirming the matter, he was also shocked. He immediately accepted Yin Kui as his personal disciple and devoted a lot of resources to his training.

From then on, Yin Kui's life seemed to be on a winning streak.

His cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Soon, he left his peers who used to laugh at him far behind.

His personality also became increasingly cold and arrogant. He focused on cultivation and completing missions, and was almost undefeated among his peers. He quickly rose to become the undisputed leader of the younger generation of the Hidden Clan!

Because of his outstanding strength and ability to handle affairs, coupled with his noble bloodline, the clan trusted and valued him greatly.

Sending him to guard this branch and independently take charge of the collection and transportation of important materials is a form of training and a way to give him important responsibilities.

Many people may not understand the concept of a position responsible for collecting and transporting materials.

That is, this guy has no shortage of resources; he can get whatever resources he wants.

This shows how highly Yin Kui is treated within the clan. The disciples of the branch both revere and envy him.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes recounted these events, her tone tinged with a touch of emotion.

Yin Kui's experience is practically a perfect template for a chosen one.

He was initially a useless nobody who suffered humiliation, but in the middle stage, he had a miraculous turnaround and eventually became an unparalleled top genius in his generation!
Such beings are often resolute, possess profound knowledge and skills, and have exceptional combat prowess, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

However, this hidden prodigy, who could be called the "chosen one of the planes," was ambushed and killed by this "elder brother" who was a level lower in strength. In the end, even his corpse was devoured and replaced.
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes looked at Zhang Yangqing with a mixture of awe and indescribable fear and admiration.
The more one understands Yin Kui's power and extraordinary abilities, the more Zhang Yangqing's unfathomable and terrifying nature becomes!
How many more tricks is he hiding? What is his limit?

Zhang Yangqing listened quietly, his face expressionless, while he was calculating something in his mind.

The cycle of cause and effect dictates that now that I am Yin Kui, I must bear many karmic consequences. I need to complete the mission quickly and leave as soon as possible, otherwise, the karma of being the chosen one will be very troublesome.

What is a chosen one? It means someone who is constantly embroiled in trouble, facing provocations from one party, declarations of war from another, or being drawn into some massive conspiracy.

The information provided by the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes was very useful. It not only gave Zhang Yangqing a more comprehensive understanding of the identity of "Yin Kui", but also gave him a deeper understanding of the strength and internal situation of the Hidden Clan.

With a half-saint elder overseeing a single branch, and young prodigies possessing such heaven-defying bloodlines and battle records, the foundation of the main clan must be even more astonishing.

Zhang Yangqing simply said, "I understand. Keep an eye on him, especially who he is close to in the clan. Besides transporting supplies, are there any other special missions or movements he may have recently? We can use Yin Kui's identity to transport ourselves to other places."

"Yes, Big Brother!" the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes replied respectfully, her admiration for Zhang Yangqing's calmness and foresight growing even stronger.

The plan to infiltrate the Hidden Clan is under Zhang Yangqing's control, progressing step by step towards a deeper, more dangerous, but potentially more rewarding direction.

The core of the next step is to "disguise" the goods and transport them through special channels at the port.

Zhang Yangqing then instructed the woman with peach blossom eyes to use the connections she had recently built within the branch to help 'Yin Kui' manage the freight process and cooperate with the chairman.

Zhang Yangqing himself began to use Yin Kui's identity and the information in his residence to search for all possible clues related to the "Tree of Immortality" and to try to interpret the hint in Rule Five that "immortality is a scam".

He carefully read through Yin Kui's mission logs, correspondence, and even some ancient miscellaneous notes and handwritten copies of anecdotes circulating within the clan.

However, the result was somewhat disappointing.

Although Yin Kui held a high position as a core disciple responsible for transporting important supplies, he was ultimately just one of the best among the younger generation, his cultivation level not yet reaching the true core leadership. (End of Chapter)
