Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his face full of surprise, and said, "A secret envoy from the Myriad Immortals Dynasty? What do you mean?"

Zhang Churan pondered for a moment, then slowly explained, "As you know, although we are all nominally under the Wanxian Dynasty, the structure of the entire Wanxian Dynasty is actually quite loose. Each power is more concerned with its own interests. For example, your Dongyuan Kingdom may not completely obey the orders of the Holy Emperor of the Wanxian Dynasty. The Wanxian Dynasty is jointly managed by Golden Core cultivators from various powers. It seems solid, but in reality, each has its own agenda. Tang Lifen and I, as secret envoys, only answer directly to the Holy Emperor of the Wanxian Dynasty."

She paused, her tone becoming serious: "This time, His Majesty the Holy Emperor suspects that Ma Xiucai, the sect leader of Tianhai Sect, is colluding with the Holy Fire Sect. The Holy Emperor directly questioned the Golden Core cultivators of Tianhai Sect, but they vehemently denied it. Therefore, the Holy Emperor secretly sent me here to investigate and confirm whether Ma Xiucai is indeed colluding with the Holy Fire Sect. After all, as the leader of a sect, if Ma Xiucai were truly involved with the Holy Fire Sect, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"I infiltrated the Tianhai Sect as an ordinary disciple to secretly investigate this matter. Just yesterday, I received definite information—although Matthew has acted somewhat recklessly, he has not colluded with the Holy Flame Sect. The one who is truly secretly dealing with the Holy Flame Sect is Ma Wei, the peak master of the Weapon Refining Peak!"

"Now that the matter has been investigated, my mission is complete, so I plan to leave Tianhaimen today. Before leaving, I thought I'd treat Lele and Uncle Pang to a meal as a farewell dinner. I really didn't expect Tang Lifen to suddenly attack me. I guess she knows that after I return from my mission, I'll likely be promoted to deputy leader of the Secret Envoy Department, so she wants to kill me beforehand and take that position!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "So, your identity is somewhat similar to that of an enforcer of the Six Doors?"

Zhang Churan nodded, then shook his head: "Somewhat similar, but completely different. The Six Doors are under the command of the entire Golden Core cultivator community of the Myriad Immortals Dynasty. As long as there are enough people, any Golden Core cultivator can issue a mission to the Six Doors. The Six Doors are merely the executors, essentially the law enforcement agency for Golden Core cultivators. Our Secret Envoy Pavilion, on the other hand, is only responsible to the Holy Emperor of the Myriad Immortals Dynasty. Only the Holy Emperor can command us, and our identities are completely concealed. As the nominal leader of the Myriad Immortals Dynasty, the Holy Emperor commands other Golden Core cultivators as well. Therefore, our status is actually higher."

Chen Yang understood, and his eyes suddenly became deep as a bold plan began to sprout wildly in his mind.

He looked at Zhang Churan and couldn't help but chuckle—the key to this plan was Zhang Churan! With her identity as a secret envoy, this matter seemed truly feasible!

Seeing his lewd smile, Zhang Churan's face flushed instantly. She instinctively took a half-step back, her eyes filled with fear and wariness: "Chen Yang! What are you thinking? Let me tell you, don't get any ideas! What we did in the illusion was just that—what we did. In reality, I would never agree to do that kind of thing with you! Although... although it was indeed quite comfortable, it's really not possible!"

"Damn it!" Chen Yang was speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking, woman? I didn't say I wanted to sleep with you, I just have a plan in mind! Let's go, come back to Tianhaimen with me!"

Zhang Churan pouted, her pretty face still flushed with embarrassment, and shook her head, saying, "I'm not going back! My mission is complete, what's the point of going back?"

"Next, I need your help with something important." Chen Yang's tone was solemn. "Your identity hasn't been exposed yet, which is crucial to me. In short, come back to Tianhai Sect with me. Once we get to Talisman Peak, I'll explain in detail. I need you!"

Zhang Churan lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Chen Yang walked over and gently patted Pang Lele awake. Then the three of them quickly returned to Tianhai Gate together.

Upon returning to Tianhai Sect, Chen Yang led the two women directly up Talisman Peak. He turned to Zhang Churan and Pang Lele and said, "From now on, you will be disciples of Talisman Peak. I will ask the elders in the personnel department to transfer your positions."

Zhang Churan simply nodded, her expression calm.

Pang Lele trembled with excitement, grabbing Chen Yang's arm tightly, her voice filled with unbelievable joy: "Chen Yang! Chen Yang! You really can transfer us to Talisman Peak? My God! Am I dreaming? I can actually become a disciple of Talisman Peak! This is so wonderful for us! How can we repay you? Are we supposed to offer ourselves in marriage? No, even offering ourselves wouldn't be enough to repay your immense kindness!"

Zhang Churan quickly turned her head, her cheeks flushed red. Normally, she would just laugh it off if someone made such a joke, but at this moment, she felt inexplicably guilty, and the images from the illusion flashed through her mind involuntarily.

Chen Yang pinched Pang Lele's nose and teased, "Stop dreaming! You two want to offer yourselves to each other? I wouldn't even look at you! Don't you know how much of a waste of energy that is? My energy is very precious!"

"Tch! You want us sisters? We wouldn't agree! Besides, who cares about your semen!" Pang Lele retorted, pouting.

The three chatted and laughed, and soon reached the mountainside of Fulu Peak.

At this moment, two figures quickly approached; it was Qingyun and Gao Rushi.

Both women wore obvious signs of worry—they had already guessed that what happened at Liu Qingxia's cave on the main peak must be related to Chen Yang.

They hadn't expected Chen Yang to dare clash with a Golden Core cultivator like Ma Jinshuo; they had even assumed he would surely die from Ma Jinshuo's attack. Now, seeing Chen Yang return safely, both of them were overjoyed.

Ignoring the presence of others, Qingyun rushed forward and threw herself into Chen Yang's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "Chen Yang! You're back! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Gao Rushi was relatively reserved, but her eyes were full of joy and concern when she looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang patted Qingyun on the back, then smiled gently at Gao Rushi and said, "Sister Qingyun, Sister Rushi, let's go inside and talk. By the way, these two are my close friends, and from now on they will be disciples of Talisman Peak."

Gao Rushi nodded and said gently to Zhang Churan and the other person, "There are plenty of cave dwellings on Talisman Peak. You can choose one to settle down. If you need anything, just let me know."

Pang Lele stared in astonishment at the departing figures of Chen Yang, Gao Rushi, and Qingyun. She opened her mouth slightly, then turned to Zhang Churan and said, "Sister Churan, is Chen Yang really that handsome? I always thought he was able to get to where he is in Tianhai Sect because of his incredible strength, but now it seems that's not the case at all! He's just too handsome; he used his good looks to charm the two peak masters of Fulu Peak! Chen Yang's actions are just too 'great'!"

Zhang Churan felt a strange pang of jealousy and discomfort. She rolled her eyes at her and said, "His behavior was shameless, not noble."

"Think about it!" Pang Lele patted Zhang Churan on the shoulder and said seriously, "Chen Yang used his body to 'serve' those big shots just to get us assigned to Fulu Peak. What kind of spirit is that? That's boundless care for us! Aren't you moved at all?"

Zhang Churan was speechless and shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to her—this girl's love-struck thought process was so bizarre it was outrageous!

At this moment, Chen Yang, Gao Rushi, and Qingyun had already returned to their cave dwelling.

After the three sat down, Gao Rushi abandoned her usual reserve and nervously looked at Chen Yang, asking, "Chen Yang, what exactly happened earlier? Did Ma Jinshuo hurt you?"

Chen Yang shook his head and gave a general account of the conflict he had with Ma Jinshuo at Liu Qingxia's cave, how he killed Ma Wei, how he escaped unharmed from Ma Jinshuo's fatal blow, and how his identity was not exposed.

Upon hearing this, Qingyun and Gao Rushi stared wide-eyed in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief—to escape alive from a Golden Core cultivator and even kill his son was nothing short of a miracle!

Without further hesitation, Chen Yang reached out and grasped Qingyun's hand with one hand, and Gao Rushi's hand with the other, holding them tightly together. His tone was grave as he said, "Sister Qingyun, Sister Rushi, I have a plan—I want you, Sister Rushi, to become the sect leader of Tianhai Sect! Only when you are in the position of sect leader can I, and the Southern Region where I was born, truly be safe!"

"What?!" Gao Rushi was so shocked by these words that she stood up instantly, her eyes filled with panic and disbelief. "Chen Yang, are you crazy? You just offended Ma Jinshuo, and now you're saying this! Not to mention that the current sect leader, Ma Xiucai, has Ma Jinshuo, a Golden Core cultivator, backing him up, even without the support of a Golden Core cultivator, the position of sect leader wouldn't be mine! Ma Xiucai is already at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm, and he's about to step into the Golden Core Realm. He's not only incredibly strong, but also very experienced. He's been the sect leader for over twenty years and is the soul of the Ma family. The entire Ma family supports him! You want me to be the sect leader? That's simply impossible!"

"Where there's a will, there's a way. Why can't it be impossible?" Chen Yang smiled slightly, his eyes brimming with confidence. "The first step is simply to kill Matthew! After he's dead, Tianhai Sect will be leaderless and will inevitably hold a selection process for a sect leader. There's no rule that only those at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm can hold the position. Besides, Sister Rushi, your strength is not weak either. We can secretly work our way up and try to get you into the sect leader position; it's not impossible!"

Gao Rushi frowned, her tone tinged with doubt: "Chen Yang, let's put aside the later steps for now. Just the first step—killing Matthew is as difficult as ascending to heaven! As the leader of a sect, he rarely leaves his residence. Even when he does go out, he's always accompanied by a large number of experts. We simply won't have a chance to strike. Moreover, he's at the Great Perfection of the Divine Power Realm, much stronger than Du Juenian. How could we possibly kill him, and do so without a sound?"

"You don't need to worry about that!" Chen Yang laughed heartily, saying confidently, "Sister Ru Shi, I also thought this was impossible before, so I never dared to even consider it. But now, I've met a friend—she's a secret envoy of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Immortals! With her identity, all we need to do is forge an imperial edict from the Emperor, using the pretext of 'verifying the collusion of the Holy Fire Sect,' to send Ma Xiu to the Emperor's palace to prove his innocence. Once he leaves Tianhai Gate and escapes the protection of the Ma family, we can set up an ambush beforehand, find some helpers, and killing him will be a piece of cake!"
