At this moment, Shi Jun and Qu Tianfei were still unaware that they had been exposed, and they also didn't know that Fu Changxing had already gone ahead of them to the truth.

Qu Tianfei, being an elder, naturally has his own mountain peak, and because he feared exposure, he did not take on any disciples.

All he needed to do daily was to maintain his image in the Complete Heaven Sect, ensuring his identity was not revealed. If there was any intelligence that needed to be reported, he would find an excuse to descend the mountain and go to Fu Changxing to provide cover and pass on the information.

"Is the escape route ready?" asked the Azure Dragon, who was meditating in the cave mansion, suddenly opening his eyes to speak to Qu Tianfei.

If Fu Changxing, the decoy, isn't taken the bait, then there was no need to expose Qu Tianfei. They could just sell off Fu Changxing to ensure their own survival first.

"Almost ready, when the time comes after you severely injure Fang Zhi, just fly escape toward the northeast direction directly. I've tampered with the array there a bit; you should be able to escape easily," Qu Tianfei confidently replied, his many years as a benevolent elder were not for nothing, tampering with the array was too easy for him.

"What about Fang Zhi? When does he plan to start?" The Azure Dragon, feeling inexplicably uneasy, asked; this feeling came oddly.

"If the materials are ready, it should be tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is a once-a-century auspicious day," Qu Tianfei's smile seemed sculpted onto his face, always appearing cheerful.

"Hmm, proceed with caution. Let me know when there's news from Fu Changxing," The Azure Dragon said no more, continuing to refine his Dao Foundation, making his soul job compatibility more fitting. Just a bit more control over this ability, and he would be able to break through that barrier and ascend to the Eighth Realm.

"Then just stay here for now, I'm going out for a bit," Qu Tianfei said as he slowly walked out of the cave mansion, backing away with an old man's gait. Before his identity was exposed, he had to continue pretending, without giving away any hint.

"Ah, when will these days end?" Standing outside the cave mansion, Qu Tianfei, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the stars in the sky with a slightly melancholic gaze.

Since he joined the Devouring Spirit Sect, his first mission was to infiltrate the Complete Heaven Sect, and it had been many years now, sometimes he almost forgot he was a member of the Devouring Spirit Sect.

He spent years helping the sect's disciples, gaining smiles from countless disciples, Qu Tianfei was almost unable to tell if he was being a good person for the mission, or if he genuinely wanted to see those enthusiastic smiles.

But the trace of Abyss Power deep inside his soul constantly reminded him that he did not belong here, and when the truth was revealed, the Complete Heaven Sect disciples who had once smiled at him would become his sworn enemies.

This was one of the reasons he was unwilling to take disciples.

"If I had joined the Complete Heaven Sect from a young age, I might have been happier," Qu Tianfei sighed, planning to return to the sect and carry on with his usual tasks. Today, he should be teaching those little rascals how to cleverly combine the Power of the Stars with Daoist Skills.

"Hmm? Is tonight's starlight a bit strangely bright?" Qu Tianfei blinked, frowning at the stars that he remembered were never so bright.

"No, it's the Sect Protection Array!"

Qu Tianfei suddenly awoke, realizing this was a manifestation of the Celestial Stars Formation running at full power! He then noticed that the space around him had been completely locked down, and it was impossible to deploy either Teleportation Array or any other Escape Skill.

"Exposed!"

Without contemplating how they had been exposed, Qu Tianfei sank in his heart and sent a burst of Spirit Light to notify Shi Jun, who was still in the cave mansion.

"Won't you come out to meet an old friend, Sect Master Fang?" As if in response to the stars above, Qu Tianfei's originally hunched body gradually straightened, his appearance seeming to shift from an old man to a man in his prime despite no change in facial features.

His white beard fluttered without wind, Qu Tianfei quietly watched the pitch-black night sky, although only the deepest darkness was visible there, he knew it was just the disguise of the array.

"Elder Qu, I don't understand why it's you," Fang Zhi appeared in the night with a group of Complete Heaven Sect elders, standing in the void, the air filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Fang Zhi's expression was calm, his tone extremely cold. His right hand held in front of him, clutching a sphere shining like a constant star.

The Thousand Night Dusk Star, the legacy treasure of the Complete Heaven Sect.

It was crafted by the first Sect Master of the Complete Heaven Sect, who refined the cores from several stars and added countless rare and exotic treasures, and each generational Sect Master would fuse several stars into it throughout their lifetime.

Without the Sect Master's legacy Dharma Seal to command it, the sheer weight of this treasure alone could crush a small portion of Seventh Realm cultivators.

Whether it's their Complete Heaven Sect's Thousand Night Dusk Star, or the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool's 改明心千灯剑, or Xuanzhou's 特大荒天龙 armor.

In fact, they had never been able to fully utilize the power of these Immortal Treasures before because they were only at the peak of the Seventh Realm, and these Immortal Treasures were originally made for cultivators of the Eighth Realm and even Ninth Realm.

Now that the Immortal Path has been newly extended, they are able to better manifest the power of the inherited Immortal Treasure.

"Sect Master, two Supreme Elders, and the chiefs of the Discipline Hall and Law Enforcement Hall really hold me in high regard. But why bother asking now?" Qu Tianfei's voice was still old and hoarse; looking at the five familiar faces above him, his expression remained unchanged. From his first day in the Complete Heaven Sect, he had been prepared for this.

"Life is like a tidal wave, carrying everyone forward; neither you nor I have a choice."

"Qu Tianfei, you bastard!" A furious shout arose; an elderly man with white hair, appearing not much different from Qu Tianfei, glared angrily at the old friend on the mountain peak, with the Disciplinary Ruler trembling in his hand.

We had clearly agreed to strive together for the future of the Complete Heaven Sect, how did it come to this!

Was their friendship of several hundred to a thousand years all fake? Was it all just to extract information about the Complete Heaven Sect?

"Zhao Shancheng, this isn't like you," Qu Tianfei looked at the slightly choking old man and sneered coldly. "As an elder of the Discipline Hall, you can't afford to be soft-hearted."

"It was you who handed the Discipline Hall over to me. For the sake of the Complete Heaven Sect, today I will kill you with my own hands!" Zhao Shancheng's Spiritual Power surged like raging waves, and the Power of the Stars encircled the disciplinary ruler in his hand, making its already dark body even deeper in hue.

"Come and face your death!" Zhao Shancheng bellowed, charging towards Qu Tianfei like an arrow released from its bow.

"Sect Master?" The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Song Zhibi, looked at Zhao Shancheng, who was usually calm but now nearly irrational with anger, and felt somewhat concerned.

"Qu Tianfei has been both a teacher and a friend to Zhao Shancheng, and on several occasions in the Secret Realm, it was Qu Tianfei who saved Elder Zhao; their friendship of several hundred years really can be considered extremely close," Fang Zhi waved his hand with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, but still signaled to leave them be.

"Just let him vent, otherwise, with Elder Zhao's fiery personality, holding this in would inevitably lead to trouble."

Zhao Shancheng is one of the few Body Cultivation cultivators in the Complete Heaven Sect, bearing the heavy Power of the Stars, his brute force is unmatched, and each impact carries the weight of the stars.

Qu Tianfei and Zhao Shancheng, old friends of several hundred years, thoroughly knew each other's weaknesses and naturally understood that he could not confront Zhao Shancheng head-on.

"Ha ha ha ha, if it were just you alone, it would be impossible to defeat me no matter what; Zhao Shancheng, you should understand this!" Qu Tianfei used his movement technique to distance himself from Zhao Shancheng, always keeping a safe gap, and with each step he took, a formation was created.

In just a dozen or so breaths, Qu Tianfei had already set up numerous lethal arrays, filling a vast expanse of the Void, and the Power of the Stars, wrapped in the Power of Death Silence, fiercely attacked Zhao Shuncheng without the slightest holdback against his old friend of hundred years.

Zhao Shancheng's face turned iron blue; without saying a word, he swung the Disciplinary Ruler frantically, erasing wave after wave of attacks into nothingness. Even when a few broke through the defenses and struck his body, he appeared utterly unconcerned.

His cultivation was not only about bearing the weight of the stars but also their defensive power; now, his body itself was like a star with incredible defensive power.

Boom boom boom—

The sounds of their battle echoed throughout the Complete Heaven Sect; regardless of where one was within the sect, all disciples felt the intense vibrations and saw the tremendous Mana clashes from their fight, even causing the Void to distort slightly.

In such an intense fight, the mountain peak and cave mansion of Qu Tianfei were reduced to rubble from their initial clash.

And it was precisely the moment the mountain peak crumbled that Shi Jun seized his chance, his Azure Dragon roared!

But this dragon-like figure wasn't charging towards the likes of Fang Zhi in the sky but directly towards the northwest direction. Now that he had been exposed, to survive meant he had to make sacrifices, hence he abandoned Qu Tianfei.

As for Fu Changxing, he's probably already dead.

His mind was frantically recalling all the actions that could have exposed them, and after pondering, he finally pinpointed it on a seemingly insignificant ant-like Abnormal Person on the ground while they were tunneling light back to the mansion.

"Abnormal People really have the power to see through their disguises!" Shi Jun clenched his teeth tightly with a grating sound, but now he must first convey this message back!

During his fleeing process, Shi Jun spit out a mouthful of Essence Blood, using a Secret Technique and the Abyss Blood Seal within him to report everything that happened.

This Abyss Blood Seal was exceptionally mysterious, absolutely unstoppable by the Sect Protection Array of the Complete Heaven Sect.

Bang—

A mist-colored barrier appeared unexpectedly, and Shi Jun, caught off guard, slammed right into it, feeling like his nasal bones were about to shatter.

"Is this... Smoky Cold Water?" Shi Jun hammered the watery barrier fiercely, then turned to see Feng Jinyue behind him, smiling serenely at him.
