These few individuals were ostensibly under the command of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect.
Chu Xuan understood this well.
In addition to assisting in the defense of Mystic Azure Star, their other role was to keep a watchful eye on the Heavenly Infinite Sect. Especially on him, its sect leader.
Given the current turbulent times, it was only natural for the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect to prepare for both outcomes.
Chu Xuan, however, did not concern himself with this. He only cared about who the traitor was. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Mystic Azure Star was peaceful and serene. He had no desire to become embroiled in the war between the Reincarnation Divine Sect and the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect.
Whoever disturbed his tranquility would meet their end.
Several days passed.
Once again, Wu Dalang sought out Yuan Zichu.
The two conversed for a long while, their words filled with dissatisfaction toward the Heavenly Infinite Sect.
They raged against the demonic practices and expressed their helplessness at the current situation.
After some time, Wu Dalang spoke in a low voice, "Yuan, since you harbor such discontent towards the Heavenly Infinite Sect, why not join us?"
Yuan Zichu knew the bait had been set, yet he did not reveal any emotion. He sighed deeply instead, "Mystic Azure Star is the territory of the Heavenly Infinite Sect. Even if I wished to leave, I would have no means."
Wu Dalang smiled. "Indeed, leaving now is difficult, but you could infiltrate under a different guise and serve the Church!"
Yuan Zichu froze. "The Church? You mean... the Reincarnation Divine Sect?"
Wu Dalang nodded emphatically. "Exactly!"
He then recounted his experiences on the extraterritorial battlefield.
Yuan Zichu was astonished. "I never imagined Brother Wu had already been noticed by the eminent monks of the Celestial Sound Zen Temple. Truly impressive. However, with just our strength, how could we possibly transmit any intelligence?"
He sighed again, "Not that we don't wish to, but we simply cannot!"
His words were laced with frustration at the current state of affairs.
Wu Dalang watched him carefully, nodding in agreement.
He looked around, lowering his voice to the utmost secrecy before continuing, "Above us, there is a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Yuan Zichu's heart stirred.
Perfect! The big fish had taken the bait!
"Who? Which elder?" Yuan Zichu asked eagerly.
Wu Dalang smiled and shook his head. "I cannot say. The identity of this Nascent Soul cultivator must remain hidden. From now on, any intelligence you gather, report it directly to me. I will pass it on to the Nascent Soul master. Then he will relay it to the Church."
Yuan Zichu felt some regret but understood the situation. If Wu Dalang had so easily disclosed the name of the Nascent Soul cultivator, it would have been highly suspicious. Since he had prepared himself to catch the big fish, the fishing line must be cast far and wide!
In the days that followed, whenever Yuan Zichu acquired information, he promptly shared it with Wu Dalang. During drinking sessions, he would also vent his dissatisfaction with the Nascent Soul elders and Golden Core cultivators, thereby strengthening Wu Dalang's trust in him.
Until one day, Wu Dalang once again found Yuan Zichu and solemnly said, "Come with me. That person has acknowledged your contributions."
A short while later, the two met in a remote mountain range beneath Wujie Island.
Yuan Zichu noticed there was another Golden Core cultivator present. It was Cao Moren, one of the elders under the command of Elder Wan Hun.
Yuan Zichu inwardly sneered.
Wasn't this person a true demonic cultivator? Why did he harbor dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Infinite Sect? Or was he merely swayed by personal gain?
