The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Jiang Lingyue glanced back at the person behind her without paying much attention.

She recognized this person; he was indeed from Danfeng.

Turning back, Jiang Lingyue muttered to herself about the hateful Lu Ye as she headed down the mountain.

Soon, after descending Danfeng, Jiang Lingyue had only walked a short distance when the second-tier alchemist who had been lagging behind her suddenly quickened his pace.

Having quickly reached Jiang Lingyue's vicinity, and taking advantage of the perfect moment when there was no one else around, the second-tier alchemist suddenly raised his hand.

Then, he whispered something...

“Jiang Lingyue…”

Upon suddenly hearing her own name, Jiang Lingyue instinctively turned around.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon seeing this alchemist surnamed Zhou, Jiang Lingyue was about to ask him a question when she saw the person opposite her suddenly raise his hand...

Bang!
A cloud of powdery mist suddenly exploded in front of me!

Caught off guard, Jiang Lingyue naturally didn't have time to block her breathing and immediately inhaled some.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyue sensed something was wrong and immediately held her breath, asking warily, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what is the reason for this?!"

After saying that, she immediately retreated while shouting, "There's an undercover agent here!"

Through the unusual actions of the alchemist surnamed Zhou, Jiang Lingyue had already vaguely guessed the man's identity.

But as soon as Jiang Lingyue finished shouting, the alchemist surnamed Zhou sneered, "Stop shouting. I have already set up a soundproof array around us. My ancestor spent a lot of money to buy this. Even a Grandmaster might not be able to sense it. Not to mention the two Grandmasters of the Wuxiang Sect, they are not paying attention to this place at all right now."

This matter is of great importance. Although the alchemist surnamed Zhou is not as skilled as Jiang Lingyue in alchemy, his cultivation level is higher.

Setting up your own protective barrier can also be effective.

However, to be absolutely certain of success, the Zhou family patriarch took out a fourth-order array plate this time!
But what the alchemist surnamed Zhou didn't expect was that right after Jiang Lingyue's shout...

On the distant Danfeng Mountain, the Wuxiang Sect Master and his entourage, who were about to leave, were first stunned, and then instantly flew into a rage.

They recognized the voice immediately; it was Jiang Lingyue's voice.

The things they were saying made all the high-ranking members of the Wuxiang Sect blush.

There's an undercover agent?!

Moreover, it seems that they are preparing to take action against their greatest hope for the rise of the Wuxiang Sect. Otherwise, Jiang Lingyue would not have shouted that!

shhhhhh...

In an instant, several figures, all above the late stage of the Innate Realm, headed directly down the mountain.

A chilling somber expression was evident on everyone's face.

In the blink of an eye, several figures arrived at that short distance.

The alchemist surnamed Zhou, who had just finished speaking, turned deathly pale upon seeing the figures of several high-ranking members of the Wuxiang Sect descending from the sky.

He didn't know why this was happening.

Wasn't it said that a fourth-tier array plate could even block the detection of a martial arts grandmaster?!
Otherwise, even if he had a lot of guts, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing within the sect.

In an instant, this second-tier alchemist was locked onto by several powerful auras. If he dared to make the slightest move, he would be instantly killed.

The reason they didn't kill him immediately was mainly because they needed to ask Jiang Lingyue what had happened. "Junior Nephew Jiang, hehe, we overheard your words from up there. What's going on?" The Sect Master of the Wuxiang Sect withdrew his extremely sharp gaze from the second-tier alchemist.

When it landed on Jiang Lingyue's side, it had already transformed into a bright smile.

Before Jiang Lingyue could speak, another sect elder, who had followed closely behind, changed his expression and sniffed the air.

"No, there seems to be a lingering scent of a mind-altering pill in the air!"

At that moment, the elder stared intently at the second-tier alchemist who was trembling with fear.

"Did you do it?!"

Jiang Lingyue quickly nodded and pointed to the alchemist surnamed Zhou.

"It was him. He was following me down the mountain when he suddenly attacked me. He even said he used a shielding array, so no one in the sect would be able to detect this."

"Good, good, good. I never expected that there would be such a talent in my Wuxiang Sect. I really didn't see it before."

After hearing this, and considering the lingering scent of the mind-controlling pill in the elder's mouth, the sect master of the Wuxiang Sect laughed in exasperation.

Staring at the second-tier alchemist surnamed Zhou, she wished she could devour him alive right then and there.

We almost...we almost let this undercover agent succeed!

pat!

With a direct palm strike to the dantian of this second-tier alchemist, the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect instantly destroyed all his cultivation.

"Guards, lock him up! Investigate his background. I want to see who he is who dares to try and uproot the very foundation of my Wuxiang Sect!"

"what?!"

With his dantian destroyed, the second-tier alchemist surnamed Zhou immediately screamed in agony. His face contorted in pain.

At this moment, the alchemist felt even more anger towards the Zhou family.

If they hadn't suddenly contacted me and asked me to do this, I could have been staying comfortably in the Wuxiang Sect.

Besides, even if it's going to be done, shouldn't it be done in a more reliable way?
This so-called array plate that can shield the senses of martial arts masters seems to be a complete fake, completely useless!
Otherwise, even if it had some effect, it wouldn't have been noticed by the Wuxiang Sect so quickly.

Filled with deep resentment, the crippled second-tier alchemist was led away.

Just then, some noises suddenly came from afar...

Three bewildered yet helpless figures were carried towards this direction by an invisible force.

Then, as if they had fallen from the sky, they all landed with a thud not far from the Wuxiang Sect Master and the others.

The sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect and the others looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

"..."

However, the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect soon recognized one of the three people who had fallen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou?"

After all, he was the patriarch of a grandmaster family. There aren't many grandmaster families in the Northern Territory, only a handful. How could the Wuxiang Sect Master not recognize him?
Those who can become sect leaders are not too stupid.

Soon, the Wuxiang Sect Master's expression changed as he realized something: why at this particular moment? Why was the Zhou family patriarch here?
And that second-tier alchemist also happened to be surnamed Zhou!
There shouldn't be such a coincidence in this world. If he's right, could it be...?

Could it be that the Zhou family was behind all this?! (End of Chapter)
