Actually, I was an undercover agent too!

Chu Yuan made the same angry expression as the others, but inwardly he had to admit it.

What this guy said makes a lot of sense.

Although Chu Yuan had made a move several times.

But all of these are based on dealing with situations where the opponent has no ability to resist.

Chu Yuan has relatively few direct confrontations.

He admits it himself, so there's not much to say.

But how dare such a small sect say that...?

It's likely that there are other forces supporting them behind the scenes.

It's not just the righteous path; there might also be some demonic forces that don't want to see the Xuantian Sect unify the demonic path.

"shut up!"

Li Han roared and drew his sword:

"Dare to insult the Demon Lord? You're courting death!"

He rushed forward and stabbed.

The scarred man casually drew a blood-red longsword from his back. The two swords clashed, and with a loud bang, Li Han was forced back three steps.

"Golden Core?"

Wang Fang exclaimed in disbelief.

The scarred man grinned, his aura surging, revealing him to be a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"What, you really think I'm a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

With a wave of his hand, several Blood Blade Sect disciples rushed up from behind him, each of them at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

It seems they had long harbored the idea of ​​double-crossing each other.

Anyway, they're just a group of Foundation Establishment disciples.

The Hall of White Bones won't say anything.

"Let's do it!"

Li Han gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

Wang Fang, Zhao Lian, and Zhou Xu exchanged glances and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Chu Yuan watched from behind, silently adding his own dramatic flair:

"Senior brothers, be careful! I'll cover you!"

Then he retreated behind a large rock and squatted down.

Let's fight, let's fight it out, we'll talk about it after we're done.

On the battlefield, the five people were locked in a fierce battle with the Blood Blade Sect.

Li Han was being overwhelmed and beaten by the scarred man, and was forced to retreat step by step.

Wang Fang was besieged by two early-stage Golden Core cultivators, and was in grave danger.

Zhao Lian was fighting two opponents at once and barely managed to hold on.

Zhou Xu was steady and methodical, but he was also entangled and unable to break free.

Just as he was about to give up, Li Han suddenly let out a low roar, changed his palm technique, and a pale golden spiritual energy burst forth!

"Bang!"

The scarred man was knocked back by a single palm strike, his eyes wide with shock:

"This is... the Golden Sun Palm of the Heavenly Dao Sect?!"

Li Han's expression changed; it was too late to stop him.

With a determined heart, he decided to stop hiding and unleashed his full power as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. With a flash of his blade, he directly cleaved a Blood Blade Sect disciple in two.

After we take care of these guys, we'll deal with the rest of them too!

His expression had just turned fierce when his eyes widened in surprise.

Wang Fang formed a hand seal, and a beam of azure sword light shot into the sky, instantly killing his opponent.

"The Azure Lotus Sword Technique of the Lingxiao Sect?!"

Li Han exclaimed in surprise.

Then, a white silk ribbon flew out from Zhao Lian's sleeve, and with a gentle flick, two Blood Blade Sect disciples immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

Li Han murmured:

"The Pure Heart Silk from Hundred Flowers Valley?!"

Zhou Xu was the most straightforward, his body shimmering with golden light, revealing the body-refining techniques of the Divine Body Sect.

Since both are righteous paths, the cooperation naturally went smoothly.

Soon, the scarred man and his disciples all self-destructed.

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

There was a three-second silence.

"you……"

Li Han's lips twitched.

Wang Fang scratched his head:

"Well... I thought I was the only undercover agent."

Zhao Lian gave an awkward laugh:

"I thought I was the only one."

Zhou Xu remained expressionless.

"That's what I think too."

All four of them turned to look at Li Han.

Li Han's face turned pale and then flushed, finally managing to choke out:

"I thought I was the only one."

"puff--"

Wang Fang couldn't hold back and burst out laughing:

"Senior Brother Li, your performance just now—that my heart's descent into demonic ways is as clear as day and night—was truly convincing!"

Zhao Lian also covered her mouth and laughed:

"Exactly, we almost believed it."

Zhou Xu rarely tugged at the corners of his mouth:

"The esteemed disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect has a heart set on the demonic path, as clear as day."

Li Han's face turned bright red:

"Shut up! Didn't you all act pretty well? Wang Fang was a complete novice and didn't know anything, Zhao Lian admired the Demon Lord, and Zhou Xu, you stayed silent the whole time and acted aloof. Who was worse than whom?"

The four people looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

As he was laughing, Li Han suddenly froze.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the large rock.

"Where is Junior Brother Yuan?"

All four of them turned around at the same time.

Behind the large rock, Chu Yuan slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at them with an innocent expression.

"You guys finished? That was amazing!"

All five people stared at Chu Yuan.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Frankly speaking, as people of integrity, they would never commit such a heinous act of disregarding human life.

But those killed were all disciples of the demonic path, and those guys attacked first.

So they didn't have much of a burden.

But the newly joined rogue cultivator right now...

"Um..."

Chu Yuan tried his best to appear wise:

"My senior brothers hid it so well, I couldn't even tell."

Li Han didn't speak, she just stared at him.

Wang Fang leaned closer and lowered his voice:

"Senior Brother Li, this person came with us, but he's been crouching in the back the whole time and hasn't made a move."

Zhou Xu said calmly:

"If he hasn't made a move, he hasn't been exposed. If he hasn't been exposed, he might be a genuine rogue cultivator, or he might be..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

He could also be an undercover agent from another force.

Or worse.

He is indeed a disciple of the demonic path.

Li Han stepped forward, his tone gentle:

"Junior Brother Yuan, as you just saw, the rest of us are actually righteous. What about you?"

Chu Yuan blinked:

"I?"

"Yes, you." Li Han smiled kindly. "What's your background?"

Chu Yuan remained silent for two seconds.

He was wondering whether he should continue pretending.

Installation and decoration?

Sure, since he didn't make a move, these people can't do anything to him.

But it will probably be difficult to go back after that, and they may even be under constant surveillance.

Simply...

With a thought, Chu Yuan activated the spiritual energy within the puppet, and a pale golden light appeared in his palm.

The light was warm and pure, carrying a righteous aura, which was the authentic mental cultivation method of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

The original owner of this body secretly learned it when he fought with the Daoist Master.

Chu Yuan was learning this technique while they were fighting.

Li Han's eyes widened instantly.

"This is... the 'Great Righteousness Heart Sutra' of the Heavenly Dao Sect?!"

He grabbed Chu Yuan's hand, examining the golden light from all angles, his voice trembling with excitement:

"That's right! Absolutely! The way this technique works is exactly the same as what Master taught us!"

The other three were stunned.

Chu Yuan remained expressionless and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Senior Brother Li, actually I'm an undercover agent too."

It's no wonder Li Han couldn't see it.

This is the same style worn by the Daoist master.

Li Han looked up at him, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Junior brother!"

"Senior brother!"

The two held hands tightly and looked into each other's eyes.

Wang Fang, standing to the side, scratched his head:

"What's going on? The Heavenly Dao Sect sent two spies? And they don't even know each other?"

Zhao Lian seemed to be deep in thought:

"It's probably one overt storyline and one covert storyline; this kind of operation is normal."

Li Han then realized what was happening, released his grip, and looked Chu Yuan up and down:

"Junior brother, which elder are you from? I've never seen you before."

Chu Yuan was prepared and sighed:

"Please forgive me, senior brother. Master instructed that this trip must be kept secret, and not even revealed to the sect. If it weren't for the circumstances today, I wouldn't have been exposed."

Li Han nodded, indicating his understanding:

"I understand, that's how it is with covert operations."

He patted Chu Yuan on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"Goodness, I thought I was the only one from the Heavenly Dao Sect, but I didn't expect to have a junior brother. What a coincidence! We'll have to have a good drink when we get back!"

Chu Yuan smiled and pointed behind the Blood Blade Sect disciples who had self-destructed:

"What you say is true, senior brother. But before that, what should we do with that person?"

There, a woman lay quietly.

P.S.: I wasn't feeling well today, so the update is a bit late. I don't have any drafts saved up; everything is written and posted as it comes.

So if any of you fellow cultivators have any plot points you'd like to see, or any ideas you think are particularly good, feel free to comment.

Xiao Qing reads every single one of them carefully.

Love you all \^o^/
