- Special Attention!

Yun Zhongling led the way, and Chu Yuan followed slowly, his gaze fixed on the young man's back.

With a slight thought, the eye of truth, which dispels delusion, quietly opens.

Several lines of illusory text appeared beside Yun Zhongling:

[Target: Yun Zhongling]

Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Golden Core

[Fate's trajectory: Leading the Demon Lord to visit the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, after which a breakthrough occurs...]

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Can you achieve a breakthrough by simply showing yourself around?

Is it really true that he is Yin Jiuqi's disciple?

Chu Yuan discovered that he could continue reading.

It's probably because Yun Zhongling's cultivation level is not high, and the True Eye of Truth is consumed less.

But when the next line appeared, Chu Yuan paused.

He died and his cultivation dissipated on the day he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Chu Yuan frowned.

Did they die from the heavenly tribulation?

Or is there another reason?

However, that's all in the future. Yun Zhongling is only at the Golden Core stage now; the Nascent Soul stage is still a long way off.

Looking at Yun Zhongling's tall and straight back, he couldn't help but admire the young man.

He is efficient and seems to have a great deal of self-respect.

They might become an asset to me as I grow up!

Chu Yuan turned his head and whispered to Qianji, who was standing beside him in a black robe that trailed on the ground:

"Qianji, keep a close eye on this boy in the future."

The man in the black robe of the Thousand Machines stirred slightly and immediately replied:

"Understood."

His gaze toward Yun Zhongling held a deeper meaning.

The cult leader is trying to cultivate talent.

It seems the leader is already secretly plotting to unify the demonic path.

……

Yun Zhongling led Chu Yuan and his group to the Hall of Law Enforcement first.

"This is the Hall of Enforcement. Disciples who violate the sect's rules will be tried here."

Chu Yuan nodded and glanced at it.

The hall was solemn. Several disciples were organizing files. When they saw them enter, they quickly bowed and paid their respects.

Without lingering, Yun Zhongling led them to the alchemy room.

The room was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs, and more than a dozen alchemy furnaces were emitting various kinds of smoke.

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is founded on poison techniques, and its alchemy also focuses on poison pills and Gu pills," Yun Zhongling explained. "The pills refined here are mostly used for cultivating poisonous arts or nurturing poisonous creatures."

Chu Yuan hummed in agreement, finding it rather uninteresting.

The pills in his storage ring are of much higher quality than those here.

Afterwards, Yun Zhongling led the three of them to various locations within the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

They are all just brief introductions.

He also noticed that the Demon Lord didn't seem very interested in these things.

Indeed, the Xuantian Sect has a long history.

In their eyes, the so-called inheritance of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is nothing more than a trivial skill.

"The last place is Poison Valley."

Yun Zhongling's tone became noticeably lighter at this point:

"That's where newly initiated disciples choose their natal poison, which is also a unique feature of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Chu Yuan glanced at him.

Why did this kid suddenly get all excited when Poison Valley was mentioned?

The group headed towards the valley.

At the entrance to Poison Valley, a slender figure sat on a stone platform, fiddling with something.

Hearing footsteps, the figure raised its head.

She was a female disciple wearing a light green dress, with delicate features, fair skin, and holding a palm-sized purple-striped spider in her hand.

When she saw Yun Zhongling, her eyes lit up, and she immediately put down the spider and stood up:

"Senior Brother Yun!"

The sound was clear and crisp, filled with undisguised joy.

A smile appeared on Yun Zhongling's face as he quickly walked over:

"Qinxin, I guessed right, it really is your shift today!"

"Um!"

Mu Qinxin nodded vigorously, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan originally wanted to use his True Eye of Truth to examine the girl, but as soon as he had the thought, he felt a sharp pain between his brows.

Alright, my mental energy is almost depleted, I'm not watching anymore.

He looked Mu Qinxin up and down.

She is indeed good-looking, and she and Yun Zhongling look very well-matched.

Yun Zhongling then remembered the important matter and quickly stepped aside to introduce:

"Qinxin, this is the leader of the Xuantian Sect, the Demon Lord."

Mu Qinxin's expression turned serious, and she quickly bowed:

"Disciple Mu Qinxin greets the Demon Lord!"

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "No need for formalities."

Mu Qinxin straightened up, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Yun Zhongling.

Yun Zhongling also looked at her, and when their eyes met, they seemed to be glued together.

A sweet smell filled the air.

Chu Yuan: "..."

He felt like he was a bit superfluous.

"Cough cough."

Qianji coughed lightly beside him.

Yun Zhongling snapped back to reality, her ears turning slightly red, and said shyly:

"Demon Lord, please forgive me. I was away on a mission for several days and I couldn't help but miss you."

Chu Yuan's lips twitched.

Good guy.

No wonder the Enforcement Hall and Alchemy Room were only briefly introduced, while Poison Valley took so long to arrive.

So that's where they were waiting to meet their Daoist partner!

"It's alright."

Chu Yuan's tone was indifferent.

Anyway, for him...

The most important thing right now is how to restore my peak cultivation level.

All these romantic relationships are stumbling blocks!

Chu Yuan asked casually:

"Did you ever have a wedding ceremony?"

Yun Zhongling lowered his head and smiled:

"It hasn't happened yet. Qinxin and I have discussed it and decided to get married formally after we both break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Chu Yuan's brow twitched.

Transformation into a deity?

He had just witnessed that Yun Zhongling would die and disappear on the day he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The timing was perfect...

However, Chu Yuan didn't say anything.

There are too many variables in the future, and saying it now would only cause more trouble.

Mu Qinxin seemed a little shy and whispered:

"Demon Lord, would you like to go into the valley and take a look? There are more than three hundred kinds of poisonous creatures in the valley, some of which are rare species."

Chu Yuan was about to speak.

Suddenly, Youyue's expression changed.

She stepped forward, getting close to Chu Yuan's side, and secretly transmitted her voice:

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless:

"explain."

"We just received an urgent message from within the sect: Elder Poison Scorpion, the Tenth Elder, has led his disciples to attack the Water Moon Sect in the Western Regions!"

Chu Yuan: "???"

Ten Elders?

Poisonous scorpion?

He quickly searched his memory.

Oh, I remember now. He's ranked tenth in the elders' council, at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm, has a fiery temper, and cultivates the Poisonous Scorpion Demon Art.

But what does this have to do with the Shuiyue Sect?

He remembered that the Water Moon Sect was a medium-sized sect in the Western Regions, mainly using water-based techniques, and had no enmity with the Xuantian Sect.

Youyue continued to transmit her voice:

"The message says Elder Poison Scorpion acted on his own. He led over three hundred disciples and has been gone for half a day!"

Chu Yuan's face darkened.

Did they secretly mobilize their followers to attack other sects?

Is this an attempt to rebel?

No, that's not right.

He probably doesn't have the guts now!

Chu Yuan's mind raced.

Poison Scorpion belongs to the Seventh Elder Xue Lie's faction.

At this critical juncture, he suddenly went to attack the Water Moon Sect...

Is it a test?

Or is he trying to create chaos to force me to take action?

Seeing that Chu Yuan and You Yue looked off, Li Tu asked them in a telepathic voice:

"Master, what happened?"

Chu Yuan glanced at him, then looked at Qianji.

Qianji's gaze, hidden beneath his black robe, narrowed slightly, clearly indicating that he had also noticed the anomaly.

There's no time to lose!

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and said to Yun Zhongling:

"Our visit ends here for now. There are some urgent matters to attend to within our sect."

Yun Zhongling and Mu Qinxin quickly bowed:

"Yes! This disciple respectfully sees off the Demon Lord!"
