Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Hometown Folks Encounter, Fake Intelligence (Four more updates)
 

It didn’t take long for a group of three to reach the Nanlu Mountain Range.

Thousand Faces Demon Monarch quickly grabbed Chu Yun’er’s hand, ready to drag her into the cave dwelling, pleading, “Yun’er, you’re my only partner, heaven and earth can bear witness!”

“Husband, you’re back!”

At that moment, five flamboyantly dressed women appeared from the cave dwelling, each with a unique charm, and immediately surrounded Thousand Faces Demon Monarch.

Thousand Faces Demon Monarch’s face immediately turned awkward.

“Ha! A man’s mouth is a lying ghost!” Chu Yun’er shook off Thousand Faces Demon Monarch’s hand and stood next to Ye Feng.

At this moment, Ye Feng was looking at the sky.

He was struggling to hold back his laughter, desperately trying not to burst out laughing.

“Hahaha…”

In the end, Ye Feng couldn’t hold back and burst into roaring laughter.

“Let’s go, come back to Misty Sect with this Sect Master, as long as you don’t leave the mountain, no one will discover you,” Ye Feng finally said, suppressing the smile on his face.

“Yes.” Chu Yun’er followed Ye Feng.

“No! My Yun’er, come back to me!” Thousand Faces Demon Monarch reached out his hand and shouted, but soon after, he was dragged back into the cave dwelling by his five partners.

On the way back to Misty Peak.

“Sect Leader, I forgot to tell you something,” Chu Yun’er suddenly remembered and quickly spoke up.

“What is it?” Ye Feng asked.

“I remember that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s Sect Master had planted two spies. One was Li Mo Huang, who couldn’t stand it anymore and went back to the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect. But Lan Die, the other spy, is still here,” Chu Yun’er quickly expressed her concerns.

Lan Die knew her.

In Chu Yun’er’s view, Lan Die was a spy from the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect. If Lan Die saw her, she would definitely spread the word.

“Lan Die is the same as you,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

He thought it was some serious issue, but it turned out to be just that!

“The same as me… Could it be that Lan Die has also been turned by you? Or was she originally a spy you had planted inside the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect?” Chu Yun’er speculated.

“I haven’t turned her,” Ye Feng paused, “Lan Die has always been an enemy of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect. Joining us at Misty Sect is quite normal.”

“Right, now I remember, Lan Die was brought back by several disciples from outside, and it seems that the village she was from had already been massacred by those Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect disciples,” Chu Yun’er said, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “It seems that Lan Die must be aware of this.”

“It’s pretty much like that,” Ye Feng nodded.

Soon after, the two of them arrived at Misty Sect.

“This is Misty Peak, and over there is Feilai Peak, also known as Elders’ Peak. That’s Spirit Beast Peak, designated for the cultivation of spiritual beasts. Over there is the farthest, the Cultivation Peak, where if you have time, you can head to the Cultivation Tower to advance your training,” Ye Feng introduced one by one.

“Cultivation Tower?” Chu Yun’er showed interest.

“Oh, Sect Leader, you’re back!” Hu Feifei approached, carrying a white short staff, her eyes brimming with joy.

“This is… Hu Feifei!” Chu Yun’er caught sight of the pretty pink-haired fox lady and her pupils shrank.

As far as she knew, this seemingly harmless fox lady was a top-notch powerhouse capable of blasting apart demons at the Spirit Sea Realm.

“Sect Leader, here is your Spirit Snake Flying Boat,” Gong Qingqiu spotted Ye Feng from afar and quickly made his way over from Feilai Peak.

Glancing at Chu Yun’er, Gong Qingqiu asked with surprise, “Sect Leader, who is this?”

“Chu Yun’er, the new member of the Elders’ Hall, and the future Outer Sect Affairs Manager. Elder Gong, please take her to Elders’ Hall and arrange accommodation for her,” Ye Feng entrusted this task to Gong Qingqiu.

“Yes,” Gong Qingqiu promptly proceeded to do so.

Feilai Peak.

This place houses not only the Elders’ Hall but also several newly constructed buildings.

One of the independent wooden buildings was the residence for elders and stewards, elegantly decorated, and it caught Chu Yun’er off guard with its appeal.

“This really is a nice place!”

Chu Yun’er found her room, looked around, and noticed that this place had rich spiritual energy and a serene environment, much better than the underground base of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.

“Oh, it’s you!” At that moment, Lan Die finished her cultivation and came from the Elders’ Hall. Upon seeing Chu Yun’er, her pupils shrank and a flash of panic crossed her eyes.

“I’ve already betrayed the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.” Chu Yun’er said with a smile.

Seeing Lan Die, who also betrayed the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, she felt a strange sense of camaraderie.

“What happened?” Lan Die asked, completely bewildered.

“It all started with a girl in yellow named ‘Bi Lian’er’…” Chu Yun’er began to recount the tale.

Lan Die was stunned to hear everything that had happened within the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect.

It turned out that during this time, the Sect Leader had gone undercover and even managed to play the old Demon Sect Master for a fool.

One word: Fierce!

“Now that we’re fellow sect members, I’ll ask for Yun’er’s care in the future.” Lan Die gave a clasped fist salute to Chu Yun’er.

“Certainly, if you have any problems with your cultivation, feel free to ask me.” Chu Yun’er nodded in acknowledgment.

She moved into her own room, started to organize her things, got used to the environment, and walked around the sect with Lan Die.

At the summit of Misty Peak.

Ye Feng crafted a Second-generation Disciple Identity Token for Lan Die and, after some thought, made an Outer Sect Affairs Manager Token for Chu Yun’er as well, then had Fox Da Hong deliver them.

Second-generation disciples like Xu Dalei and Mu Sisi also received the identity tokens that had been refined a while ago.

After discovering the tokens’ multiple functions, everyone was overjoyed.

“As expected of Misty Sect, its profound heritage is reflected even in the identity tokens, which have defense, message transmission, and offensive capabilities, equivalent to a high-quality Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact for each person.”

Chu Yun’er, upon receiving her Steward Identity Token, was amazed.

She suddenly realized that Misty Sect’s heritage was incredibly strong, far exceeding any One-star Sect and could even compare to a Two-Star Rank sect.

With such a force, the prospects were boundless.

Atop Feilai Peak.

Fox Da Hong hopped around in front of Lan Die and Chu Yun’er, with a chicken leg in its mouth, and said haltingly:

“The Sect Leader needs to see you both.”

The two women looked at each other and quickly made their way to Misty Peak.

Seeing Lan Die and Chu Yun’er approaching, Ye Feng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lan Die, saying, “Pass this message on to the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect Master.”

Lan Die took the paper and glanced at the text, her eyes widening in surprise.

Soon after, she took out a white Messenger Paper Crane, poured a significant amount of Spiritual Power into it, left a lengthy message, and then released it, letting it fly off into the distance.

Half a day later.

The Great Elder of the Divine Wind Sword Sect received the paper crane.

“Sect Master, this is Lan Die. I have successfully gained the trust of Outer Sect Elder Gong Qingqiu. Through regular interaction and the occasional conversation, I learned an important piece of information.”

“Misty Sect’s Spiritual Beast, Brother Flathead, is extremely vindictive and loves to fight, often going out to battle with others.”

“I heard Elder Gong Qingqiu mention one incident where Brother Flathead returned from a fight covered in blood.”

The voice ended there.

“So that’s how it is!” The Great Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect suddenly crushed the paper crane and stood up.

“It looks like the protector was likely eliminated by the combative Brother Flathead, and not by Ye Feng’s orders.”

“If that’s the case, Misty Sect still doesn’t know our Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s secret.”

“Good, very good!”

The Great Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect nodded thoughtfully, then took out a Messenger Paper Crane and cast it out.

Several hours later.

In a deep cavern beneath the Black Stone Wasteland.

The old Demon Sect Master stretched out his hand to catch the incoming paper crane, listening to the voice from the Great Elder of Divine Wind Sword Sect.

“Father, I’ve investigated thoroughly. Misty Sect doesn’t know our secret, and the protector’s death was purely due to Brother Flathead’s love for battle. The two just happened to collide, with no instigation from Ye Feng.”

Upon hearing this, the old Sect Master’s brows furrowed slightly.

He was still not at ease, so he decisively took out a Jade Vial, removed a hundred strands of Evil Qi, and prepared to divine.
