But no one doubts what Old Man Ju says; after all, if his words reached the Demon Clan's ears and turned out to be false, what would come next would be the Demon Clan's relentless pursuit to the death.

Indeed, if one were to be bold enough to take down all the pursuing demons, they might even witness the great boss, the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, take action personally.

Moreover, everyone is quite clear about the identities of Liang Yi and Su Youyi by his side, and since neither of them voiced any objections, this matter is most likely true.

Just as Zhao Xi was about to say something, a beam of starlight burst out from the Star Gate, arriving beside everyone.

Seeing the identity of the newcomer, Liang Yi let out a sigh of relief and hastily pulled Old Man Ju, who was being used as a tool, off his head.

"Chief Liang, Junior Sister Su, thank you both for taking the time to supervise the delivery of these materials."

An Mujing's position was right in the middle between Liang Yi and the others, so when she blinked at Liang Yi and Su Youyi, no one else could see it.

Noticing the signal in An Mujing's eyes, Liang Yi and Su Youyi tacitly understood that Elder Fang must have already made preparations to entertain the guests.

"Haha, it's a trivial matter." Liang Yi waved his hands, indicating it was no big deal.

"Elder Yu has already been informed about the material swap, so she asked me to lead you to transfer these materials to the designated location."

"Elder Fu, thank you for your trouble." An Mujing smiled as she awaited Fu Changxing's response.

"Of course." Fu Changxing smiled and nodded. Before revealing his identity, he was still the Acquisition Elder of the Complete Heaven Sect, and these matters were his duty. However, he changed the subject and inquired another question.

"I wonder where the Sect Master is right now? Once we finish up here, I need to discuss with him the matter of the Abnormal People that have recently appeared in Taibai City."

"It seems like the Sect Master is still in the Sect Master's Great Hall, as for the rest, I'm not too sure." An Mujing seemed taken aback by Fu Changxing's question and supported her head in thought before replying with some hesitation.

"In the Sect Master's Great Hall?" Fu Changxing was not surprised. According to their inside informant, it seemed that Fang Zhi was taking this matter very seriously, even going so far as to use the Map of Myriad Wonders. He was probably busy trying to probe the future now, wasn't he?

And with the help of the Protective Talisman bestowed by the Sect Hierarch, even with the assistance of the Map of Myriad Wonders, he shouldn't be able to peer much into it.

"The Master of Stars, proficient in the Art of Divination, probably never thought that one day he would be seriously injured by a future he could not see, right?" Fu Changxing smiled slightly, feeling somewhat smug inside.

He had just entered the Seventh Realm and possessed certain rights within the Complete Heaven Sect, although he was not mainly focused on combat, so his overall combat strength was not considered strong.

However, with an Azure Dragon Envoy who was half a step into the Eighth Realm and in charge of soul-hooking duties, even stronger than a normal early Eighth Realm Cultivator, and an insider ready to support them at any time, the current plan against Fang Zhi could almost be considered as ironclad.

So full of self-satisfaction that even the always cautious Fu Changxing couldn't help but be somewhat self-indulgent, without even considering the veracity of An Mujing's words. He just wanted to quickly finish delivering the materials and then quietly lay low within the sect, waiting for the right moment to come.

Liang Yi observed Fu Changxing carefully. Although there were no changes in the expression of this Elder Fu, the strong secrecy of the Devouring Spirit Sect and the smooth progress of the plan indeed made him somewhat elated.

"Elder Fu, do you still remember where Damsel Danger Peak is? Elder Yu is already waiting there." An Mujing kindly asked, afraid that Fu Changxing, having not returned to the sect for a long time, might have forgotten the location.

"Eh~ How could I forget where the mountain peaks of my own sect are? Let's go!" Fu Changxing patted his round belly, looking somewhat displeased.

Having said that, Fu Changxing was already leading the carriage procession and stepping into the Star Gate.

An Mujing, Liang Yi, and Su Youyi exchanged glances, understanding each other without words.

"Why are you smiling so much like villains, meow?" Old Man Ju saw the evil smile on Liang Yi's face and shivered involuntarily.

"Just keep your mouth shut and follow quickly!" Liang Yi's expression darkened as he flicked Old Man Ju's forehead.

Su Youyi stifled a smile, actually thinking her senior brother's smile just now was quite sinister.

"Darn it, meow!" Old Man Ju glared at Liang Yi resentfully. This youngster even dared to flick the forehead of his greatness, Old Man Ju. The next time Liang Yi fell asleep, he must release a wave of toxic gas on his head.

To avoid arousing Fu Changxing's suspicion, An Mujing and the others followed behind his beast carriage team, chatting and laughing along the way.

However, before entering, Liang Yi quietly pulled Zhao Xi aside and had a brief chat, casually asking for a small favor.

Fu Changxing walked at the forefront, his gaze wandering aimlessly. According to the arrangement he had with that guy Shi Jun, he should have made contact as soon as he entered the sect. Why was there no sign of him now?

"Forget it, let's first take these materials to Damsel Danger Peak." Fu Changxing didn't think it over too much, feeling even better not seeing that guy.

"Does he have such good relationships within the sect?" Liang Yi and Su Youyi trailed far behind Fu Changxing, watching disciples bustling around, enthusiastically greeting him and chatting lively.

"He is an elder after all, and like most of the Complete Heaven Sect disciples who have had contact with a Sect Elder, many of them have received his help." An Mujing's eyes were deep and gloomy, staring intently at Elder Fu, she had to ensure he could reach the perilous peak.

"Who would have thought he'd be so high-profile." Su Youyi's remark came out of nowhere, but Liang Yi and An Mujing understood her meaning instantly.

Initially, everyone thought that a member of the Devouring Spirit Sect lurking inside the Complete Heaven Sect would have tread on thin ice and not let anyone notice his presence. Yet unexpectedly, Elder Fu did the opposite and let everyone remember him.

"But there's another one..." An Mujing's gaze grew even deeper as she etched into her mind everyone Elder Fu had come into contact with along the way. Among these people, it was highly likely that the traitor was hidden.

The Sect Master had mentioned before that there were two people; perhaps it was Elder Fu and that insider who launched the attack in tandem.

Old Man Orange showed no interest in these matters. He found the environment of the Complete Heaven Sect rather remarkable, constantly turning his head and looking around with a little confused head filled with question marks.

His adorable appearance naturally attracted the eyes of some Complete Heaven Sect disciples; however, when their gaze was cast his way, it was immediately diverted to Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Hey, hey, that person—if I'm not mistaken—is him, right?"

"Someone who looks like that must definitely be him!"

"Isn't that Su Youyi next to him?"

"Brothers, what do you think?"

...

Hostility began to gather for no apparent reason. Liang Yi's ears twitched as he clearly caught the whispers around him.

"Damn, can't be right?" Liang Yi felt a headache coming on; the sudden change in the attitudes of these surrounding Complete Heaven Sect disciples towards him must be another mess his dear Master had dumped on him.

Su Youyi felt the hostility from the surrounding disciples towards her senior brother and was quite dissatisfied, wanting to draw her sword and warn them directly.

Her senior brother, whether for public or private reasons, acted for the sake of the Complete Heaven Sect this time. And now, they were showing hostility towards him – did they really think the Taoist Sect was easy to bully?

"Don't, don't blame them." Liang Yi quickly held back his junior sister who was about to draw her sword. With just a slight effort, he had pushed the slightly drawn Spirit Sword back into its sheath.

At this moment, Liang Yi was truly troubled. Although he couldn't blame the group of Complete Heaven Sect disciples, he couldn't blame his Master either.

So, who should be blamed? The answer was simple.

"It's all because of the wrong timing!" Liang Yi solemnly whispered to his junior sister.

Old Man Orange almost fell off Liang Yi's shoulder, quickly grabbing onto his robe with his paw to stabilize himself.

"Timing?" Su Youyi blinked in confusion, not understanding who her senior brother was referring to.

"Er, just remember that timing is the root of all evil." Liang Yi looked down at his junior sister's eyes, pure as rubies, and vaguely explained, evading the topic.

To prevent his junior sister from acting impulsively again and drawing her sword, Liang Yi had to hold her hand tightly as they walked, dealing another enormous blow to the shut-in disciples along the way. So much so that Liang Yi felt the hostility he perceived had swollen even more.

"These people, they truly aren't grateful. If I hadn't held back junior sister, all of you would have been beaten into pig heads by now." Liang Yi muttered under his breath, lamenting these clueless ones.

"Do you Complete Heaven Sect people ever have daytime?" Old Man Orange noticed that ever since he entered the Complete Heaven Sect, they had always been shrouded in night, but within the territory of the sect, there was no sense of darkness.

The twinkling stars in the sky weren't just for admiration; they perfectly provided ample light for the Complete Heaven Sect. Moreover, every building they passed along the way emitted a luminous glow, lighting the path for the disciples rushing by.

"Our cultivation technique is special for one, and cultivating under the starry night is much faster than during the day. Moreover, the perception of the Power of the Stars is clearer at night, and it's more convenient for practicing Daoist Skills or using the Art of Divination," An Mujing said with a laugh as she looked at Old Man Orange's surprised and cute expression.

"No wonder you Complete Heaven Sect people look so pale, it's because you don't get any sunlight every day, meow," Old Man Orange looked around and found everyone to be the indoor types.

"That's part of the reason, though the female disciples are quite happy about it."

Liang Yi felt carefully and discovered that the Power of the Stars in the Complete Heaven Sect was extraordinarily dense. If he used Southern Dipper here, it would likely show unusually great power.

Su Youyi gathered a strand of starlight in her palm and found that the "One Sword Destroying All Techniques" within her seemed to be faintly stirred.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yi noticed his junior sister's unusual state with care.

"These starlights are lifeless, or rather, the Power of the Stars contains a sense of dead silence, having some similarities with the Sword Intent I've comprehended," Su Youyi did not hide anything and told her senior brother everything she felt.
