Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

The entire Qingyun Sect was shrouded in a tense atmosphere of impending storm.

Luo Qingchen's mood became increasingly heavy.

He knew that the next action would be more difficult.

Not only do they have to avoid Fang Zhenxiong's eyes and ears, but they also have to find clues to Tianjue Cliff in the muddy water of the sect.

The road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges.

But Luo Qingchen's eyes remained firm.

He believed that as long as they were careful and cautious, they would be able to achieve their goal.

Su Xiaowan's talisman will undoubtedly play a more important role in the next actions.

Her flexible use of the sleight of hand has proven her growth.

Luo Qingchen was also secretly glad that he had kept Su Xiaowan's tortoise shell magic weapon.

If not for this, Bai Ling'er's aura would have been exposed long ago.

The little guy was sleeping peacefully in his tortoise shell at the moment, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Luo Qingchen only hoped that Bailing'er could remain carefree like this until they found the fragments of the star map and uncovered all the secrets.

The atmosphere within Qingyun Sect was even weirder than they had imagined.

It seems that in addition to the threat posed by the black monks, there is a deeper crisis surging in secret.

This made Luo Qingchen even more cautious about his next actions.

The living quarters for outer disciples were as noisy as ever, but there was also a sense of oppression that was not there before.

Luo Qingchen and the other two carefully moved through the familiar alleys, trying their best to avoid the crowds and walked towards their original courtyard.

The closer he got, the heavier Luo Qingchen's mood became.

He could sense that there were several obscure auras lingering around their courtyard.

Although these auras were deliberately restrained, they could not escape Luo Qingchen's keen sense.

"Someone is watching."

Luo Qingchen whispered to Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan.

Upon hearing this, the two women's expressions became serious.

"Is it Fang Zhenxiong's people?"

Su Xiaowan asked in a low voice.

"pretty close."

A hint of coldness flashed across Luo Qingchen's eyes.

Fang Zhenxiong really thought highly of them, and actually sent people to monitor an empty courtyard day and night.

"What should we do now? Go in directly?"

Lin Wan'er asked.

Luo Qingchen shook his head.

"No, that's too risky."

"Let's observe nearby first to see the patterns and methods of their surveillance."

The three of them found a relatively secluded corner and quietly observed the movements around their courtyard.

Sure enough, disciples of Fang Zhenxiong's faction were lurking in several key locations in the courtyard.

The cultivation base of these disciples is not high, most of them are in the initial stage of foundation building, but their advantage is that they are numerous and highly vigilant.

They patrolled around the courtyard from time to time, and their spiritual sense swept through the interior of the courtyard from time to time.

Not only that, Luo Qingchen also discovered that there seemed to be some small early warning magic arrays set up near the courtyard walls and gates.

Although these magic arrays are not very powerful, once someone triggers them, they will immediately alert the disciples who are monitoring them.

"Fang Zhenxiong really invested a lot of money."

Su Xiaowan curled her lips, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

"It seems that it will be difficult for us to get in without being noticed."

Lin Wan'er frowned slightly.

Luo Qingchen's eyes swept around the courtyard carefully, memorizing the location of every surveillance point and early warning array.

He discovered that the patrols of these surveillance disciples followed a certain pattern, and they would change shifts every once in a while.

Although those early warning arrays were cleverly arranged, they were not without flaws.

"We will act after dark."

Luo Qingchen made a decision.

The target is too large during the day and is easily exposed.

Only under the cover of night did they have a chance to avoid these surveillance and sneak into the courtyard.

The three of them waited patiently for night to fall.

During this time, they noticed that the disciples who monitored their compound conducted routine inspections every day.

They would enter the courtyard, search it carefully, and only leave after confirming that there was no unusual movement.

This kind of strict surveillance made Luo Qingchen even more certain that Fang Zhenxiong hated them to the core.

The night finally enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect.

Luo Qingchen and the other two took action again.

They used the Breath-Suppressing Talisman to reduce their own aura to the minimum, and like three black shadows, they approached their courtyard silently.

Luo Qingchen knew the sect's terrain very well. He took Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan and cleverly avoided one surveillance point after another.

Coming to the courtyard wall, Luo Qingchen carefully observed the nodes of the early warning array.

He stretched out his hand, condensed a weak chaotic force at his fingertips, and carefully probed into one of the formation nodes.

The power of chaos was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, silently invading the formation and disrupting the circulation of the formation's spiritual energy.

The light of the early warning magic circle flickered slightly, and then dimmed completely.

Luo Qingchen followed the same method and soon broke through several early warning formations around the courtyard one by one.

After doing all this, he made a gesture to Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan.

The three of them climbed over the wall as lightly as civet cats and sneaked into the courtyard.

The interior of the courtyard remained the same as when they left, only covered with a thin layer of dust.

Luo Qingchen checked carefully and confirmed that there were no new restrictions or traps left in the courtyard.

"It seems that Fang Zhenxiong only sent people to monitor and did not do anything in the courtyard."

Su Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't take it lightly."

Luo Qingchen reminded.

"We can't stay here for long. We must find clues about Tianjue Cliff as soon as possible."

However, they did not find any useful information in their own courtyard.

Luo Qingchen knew that if he wanted to find out the information, he had to find another way.

He remembered the remnants of the Qingmu Sect who had been let go at Luofengpo before.

Those people are loyal to Qingmu Sect, but they probably hate Qingyun Sect, especially Fang Zhenxiong, to the core.

Perhaps we can use them to indirectly obtain some internal information of the sect.

Luo Qingchen remembered that he had seized some tokens and contact information from those Qingmu Sect disciples.

He took out a disciple token of Qingmu Sect from his storage bag, which had some special runes engraved on it.

"Xiao Wan, you are quite familiar with runes. See if you can use this token to contact some informants of Qingmumen in Fangshi."

Luo Qingchen handed the token to Su Xiaowan.

Su Xiaowan took the token and studied it carefully.

"The rune on it is a special communication rune. If the other party also has a similar token, long-distance communication can be carried out."

Su Xiaowan explained.

"But it requires specific stimulation techniques and commands."

Luo Qingchen nodded.

"I have extracted the stimulation techniques and commands from those disciples."

He told Su Xiaowan the stimulation techniques and commands.

Su Xiaowan followed Luo Qingchen's instructions and began to try to activate the communication rune on the token.

The token vibrated slightly, emitting a faint green light.

After a moment, the light on the token stabilized, and a faint message came out of it. "It is a secret contact point of Qingmumen in Qingyunfang City."

Su Xiaowan said with some surprise.

"Great."

A hint of joy flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes.

"Let's go to the market now and see if we can get some information about Tianjue Cliff from them."

The three of them did not dare to delay and immediately set off for Qingyun Market.

In order to avoid exposing their identities, they still wore the uniforms of outer disciples and carefully avoided patrols within the sect.

When they arrived at Qingyun Market, they found that the atmosphere here was much more tense than before.

There were few pedestrians on the streets and many shops closed early.

Luo Qingchen and the other two followed the information displayed on the token and came to an inconspicuous grocery store in the corner of the market.

The owner of the grocery store was a thin middle-aged man who looked ordinary, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.

Luo Qingchen stepped forward and placed the Qingmu Gate’s token on the counter.

When the shopkeeper saw the token, his eyes changed slightly, and then returned to normal.

"Three guests, please come inside."

He led the three people to the backyard of the grocery store.

The backyard was arranged very secretly and was obviously a secret contact point.

"What can I do for you three?"

The shopkeeper asked straight to the point.

Luo Qingchen did not beat around the bush.

"We want to find out some information about Qingyun Sect's Tianjue Cliff."

When the shopkeeper heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Tianjue Cliff? That is the forbidden area of ​​Qingyun Sect. Ordinary people can't get close to it at all."

"we know."

Luo Qingchen said.

"We just want to know if there has been any unusual movement in Tianjue Cliff recently?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said:
"To be honest, there have been quite a few rumors about Tianjue Cliff recently."

"It is said that strange lights have appeared frequently in the depths of Tianjue Cliff recently, accompanied by powerful spiritual power fluctuations."

"Some people speculate that it may be that some ancient restriction in the forbidden area has been loosened, or that some rare treasure is about to be born."

Luo Qingchen's heart moved.

Strange light? Spiritual power fluctuation?
This is somewhat similar to the scene when the star map fragments are activated.

"Besides these, are there any other rumors?"

Luo Qingchen continued to ask.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said:

"Some people also said that the top leaders of Qingyun Sect seem to be very concerned about the unusual movements of Tianjue Cliff and have sent many experts to investigate."

"There are even rumors that even the Grand Elder who had been in seclusion for many years was alarmed."

This news made Luo Qingchen even more certain that Tianjue Cliff must be hiding a major secret.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for informing me."

Luo Qingchen took out some spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the shopkeeper.

“These are our little tokens of appreciation.”

The shopkeeper did not hesitate to accept the spirit stones.

"You are too polite."

"If you need anything else, feel free to come to me."

After leaving the grocery store, Luo Qingchen and the other two felt a little heavy-hearted.

The unusual movements at Tianjue Cliff were more eye-catching than they had imagined.

The top leaders of Qingyun Sect and even the supreme elder were alarmed, which showed that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond their expectations.

"It seems that it will be more difficult for us to sneak into Tianjue Cliff."

Su Xiaowan said with some concern.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to go."

Luo Qingchen's eyes were firm.

"The fragments of the star map are there. We can't give up."

Lin Wan'er also nodded in agreement.

"Now that we know there are unusual movements at Tianjue Cliff, the next step is to find a way to sneak in."

Luo Qingchen began to think of countermeasures.

Since the top leaders of Qingyun Sect have already sent people to investigate, they might be able to take advantage of the chaos and sneak in.

However, this requires a careful plan and extraordinary courage.

As the night deepened, Qingyun Market gradually returned to peace.

Luo Qingchen and the other two found a remote inn to stay in and prepared to discuss their next plan of action.

They knew that time was running out.

The secret of Tianjue Cliff seems to be related to certain factions among the sect’s upper echelons, and may even involve the most core secrets of Qingyun Sect.

This storm is far more complicated than they imagined.

And they have been involuntarily drawn into this vortex.

The conflict between Luo Qingchen and Fang Zhenxiong's faction has undoubtedly deepened because of this surveillance.

He could feel that Fang Zhenxiong was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to give him a fatal blow at any time.

But Luo Qingchen was not afraid.

He believed that as long as he was strong enough, no conspiracy or trickery would succeed.

And Tianjue Cliff is the next opportunity for him to become stronger.

It was a dark and windy night, a perfect time to commit murder and arson, and to sneak into forbidden areas.

Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan quietly left the inn, like three ghosts blending into the night, sneaking towards the direction of Qingyun Sect.

Their target was the forbidden area of ​​Qingyun Sect - Tianjue Cliff.

According to the information obtained from the market town, the entrance to Tianjue Cliff is heavily guarded. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it also has many powerful prohibitions and formations.

It is almost an impossible task to sneak in without being noticed.

But Luo Qingchen had no intention of forcing his way through the main gate.

He discovered a secret path leading to the back mountain of Tianjue Cliff in the sect's defense map obtained from Zhao Qian.

The path was rugged and difficult to travel on, and it was said to be full of natural miasma and dangerous places. Ordinary disciples did not dare to approach it at all.

But because of this, the guards there are relatively weak, making it the best choice for them to sneak in.

"Are you all ready?"

Luo Qingchen confirmed again, his eyes sweeping over Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan.

Both women nodded, their eyes full of determination.

"Remember, after entering Tianjue Cliff, you must follow my instructions in everything and you are not allowed to act on your own."

Luo Qingchen's tone was extremely serious.

The danger of Tianjue Cliff was far beyond their imagination. If they were not careful, they might be doomed.

The three of them once again cast the Breath-Suppressing Talisman to reduce their own breath to the lowest level, and then carefully sneaked towards the back mountain of Tianjue Cliff.

Along the way, they met several groups of patrolling disciples.

These disciples were obviously sent by Fang Zhenxiong to strengthen the security. They looked alert and sharp, and did not miss any suspicious corner.

Relying on his familiarity with the sect's terrain and the patrol patterns he learned from Zhao Qian, Luo Qingchen cleverly avoided teams of patrolling disciples.

However, Fang Zhenxiong seemed to have some doubts about Luo Qingchen's actions.

Just as they were about to approach the mountain behind Tianjue Cliff, Luo Qingchen keenly sensed that there were several obscure auras quietly following them from behind.

Although these auras were deliberately restrained, they could not be hidden from Luo Qingchen's powerful spiritual sense.

"We're being followed."

Luo Qingchen whispered to Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan. (End of this chapter)
