Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

Without needing to guess, Han Yi knew that Yuan Shun was able to find him, and it must be related to the Blood God Sect traitor he had stumbled upon earlier.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, your disciple will surely tell the truth.” Han Yi solemnly replied.

“Good, for the matter about Chu Yi, you were the one who discovered it. Describe the details of the scene when you found it.” Yuan Shun said, his eyes deep and profound.

Han Yi’s eyebrows relaxed, as he expected this to be the case. He organized his thoughts and began to speak.

“A while ago, your disciple made a breakthrough to the Qi Cultivation 7th layer, was favored by Azure Dragon Peak, and moved up. That day, right after 1 arrived at Azure Dragon Peak, I went on a walk and arrived at a certain courtyard…”

Han Yi explained everything in detail, striving to recreate the scene at the time, n H

“Later, to be on the safe side, 1 secretly informed the Red Sun Fang Tower’s three elders without directly reporting to the Sect Master. Please punish me.” After Han Yi finished speaking, he respectfully lowered his head.

“So you’re saying, at that time an illusory figure appeared in the courtyard, and Chu Yi called him Elder Sun.” Yuan Shun displayed a thoughtful expression.

“Yes, at that time the disciple was not far away and 1 definitely did not hear it wrong.” Han Yi confirmed.

“You did well, there’s no crime in that.” Yuan Shun gestured slightly, and Han Yi involuntarily raised his head and straightened his posture.

“Thank you, Sect Master.”

Before this, Yuan Shun had checked Han Yi’s information, and had secretly investigated, finding that this disciple was quite interesting.

A decade ago, he did not have enough points, so he was sent out to gain experience. A year later, he made a breakthrough in Alchemy Skill and returned to the sect.

Comprehension.

During the war between immortals and demons, the sect was recruiting. This young fellow managed to avoid being conscripted by bribing the outer peak master.

Adapting.

Later, when he fought against the Blood God Sect, he was taken to the frontlines. He survived the chaotic night of fighting and returned alive.

Luck? Or strength?

In just about ten years, he went from the Qi Cultivation 2nd layer to the 7th. Comparing his cultivation speed, he was not much inferior to the disciples with outstanding talent.

Talent.

With comprehension, adaptability, and strong talent, all these traits gathered in one person made him a promising seedling.

This seedling was worth nurturing.

However, this disciple seemed to be overly cautious.

He didn’t think caution was a bad thing, but in Han Yi, he saw more of a ‘survivor’ trait.

He needed to find a way to apply some pressure, to push this seedling a bit.

This thought flashed through Yuan Shun’s mind.

However, this was not the reason for his visit this time.

Standing at the side, Han Yi suddenly felt his entire body’s hair standing on end, as if being stared at by a mythical beast, not daring to move at all.

This feeling was only a brief moment, and when trying to sense it again, there was no trace of it. It was as if the perception just now was merely an illusion.

After thinking for a bit, he carefully asked, “Disciple dares to ask, was Chu Yi caught, and is there still anyone within the sect who has…?”

Han Yi didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

He merely took the opportunity to ask, not thinking that Yuan Shun would necessarily answer. The most likely scenario was that Yuan Shun would tell him to cultivate well due to his low realm, and when his strength reached a certain level, he would naturally learn about it.

However, unexpectedly, Yuan Shun actually answered him directly without any pretense of a Sect Master.

“Chu Yi was caught, he was captured that very day.”

Han Yi’s eyes lit up. Since Chu Yi was arrested, the Sect Master’s immortal methods would surely reveal more details.contemporary romance

“However.” Yuan Shun shook his head.

“But, there was a secret restriction in his mind. When he was sealed, his soul automatically self-destructed, leaving behind merely a lifeless shell.”

“However, following his trail, we made some gains.”

At this point, the divine light in Yuan Shun’s eyes was floating, and his murderous intent was concealed.

Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat. This kind of restriction was definitely set by the higher-ups of the Blood God Sect. They were ruthless.

“Master, I have a question. How did you find out that 1 was the one who reported Chu Yi?”

Han Yi hesitated for a moment but still asked the question. This was the best opportunity since the Master of Xuandan Sect was present. It would prevent him from overthinking.

Yuan Shun looked at Han Yi, and Han Yi felt as if his whole body was seen through, causing him to feel a little awe-inspiring.

“You think the sect is completely oblivious to the happenings in the twenty-one markets of the Inner and Outer Peaks? You’re underestimating the sect.”

“Over the years, the Inner and Outer Peak markets have documented every event that occurs, no matter how trivial, just in case.”

“Besides, have you ever wondered why Chu Yi didn’t choose to communicate with the outside world in the more secretive Inner and Outer Peak markets but risked doing it in the Inner Peak?”

Hearing this, Han Yi trembled and suddenly understood.

He had underestimated the sect. Over the years, very few incident had occurred in the Inner and Outer Peak markets, and even those involving Robbing cultivators happened outside the markets. This also showed that the sect had a strong control over the markets.

Otherwise, keeping a real hidden place in the gray area would be like a landmine buried at home, making the sect’s high-level members restless.

Han Yi suddenly recalled that most Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in the markets did not wear masks. In the past, he thought that they were familiar with each other, but now he realized that the main reason was that they had a deeper understanding of the markets and knew that their true identities were not completely hidden.

The so-called hiding of aura and identity was only for ordinary transactions. If it involved the sect, everyone could be exposed and investigated.

Han Yi realized that he needed to be more cautious in the future.

There was also one more thing.

Before this, he had never thought about the question raised by Yuan Shun: why did Chu Yi, a Vermilion Bird Peak disciple, risk placing the mysterious bead in an uninhabited courtyard of the Inner Peak?

If it were Han Yi, he would have chosen to place it in the Inner Peak market, buying a shop as a disguise. That would be the safest option.

However, why did they choose Azure Dragon Peak?

Azure Dragon Peak was the first Inner Peak. Why didn’t they place it in other peaks with weaker strengths and lower rankings? The probability of being discovered would be even lower.

It seemed that Yuan Shun had noticed Han Yi’s question.

Yuan Shun mentioned, “As for why they specifically chose Azure Dragon Peak, that has to do with their unique way of communication, which 1 can’t explain.”

“Enough, let’s put an end to this matter. In the entire Xuandan Sect, only I know that you’re the one who reported it. No one else knows, and I’ve erased your trace from the Patrol Immortal Mirror. It won’t involve you in the future, so don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Han Yi’s face lit up with joy. Although he didn’t know what the Patrol Immortal Mirror was, it must have been the key to discovering him. Anyway, with Master’s words, he could be at ease.

“Thank you, Master.”

Yuan Shun nodded and hinted, “However, the sect is now facing a difficult situation and needs strong new cultivators to join. Therefore, there will be greater challenges ahead. I look forward to your performance.”

After saying that, without waiting for Han Yi to ask again, he turned and left, stepping into the air in one stride. In a few steps, he was already in the Cloud Sea. In less than half a breath, he disappeared without a trace.

Han Yi stood in front of the courtyard, slowly letting out a breath.

He gazed at the direction where Yuan Shun left in his eyes, full of envy, “Compared to the Golden Core Stage, the Qi Cultivation Stage is just like a mortal.”

“The Immortal Path is long and endless. When will I be able to reach the Immortal Path Foundation Building and fly in the sky?”

Han Yi frowned slightly, “However, what did Master Yuan mean by ‘greater challenges’ in his last sentence?”

Han Yi shook his head, stopped thinking about it, pushed open the courtyard gate, entered, and activated the restriction.

In the quiet chamber.

He went through Yuan Shun’s words again and extracted useful information.

Regarding the sect’s markets, he had a better understanding.

Regarding the Blood God Sect’s ruthlessness towards their own disciples, he also had a deeper understanding. They were playing a deadly game, and he couldn’t afford to be careless. If he intervened, he would find himself dead without knowing how he died.

Next, he needed to be more cautious and focus on survival.

As for the last sentence about greater challenges, Han Yi couldn’t be sure what Yuan Shun was referring to.

Forget it, he would face whatever came his way and deal with it when it happened.

Ever since he had traveled through time, Han Yi’s personality had remained the same as in his previous life: good at summarizing. It was his nature and a habit in his actions.

Sharpening the axe did not hinder the chopping of firewood. After spending an hour summarizing and refining key points, Han Yi resumed his cultivation.

Throughout the long night, the Immortal Path accompanied him, and there was no boredom. His inspiration grew stronger, gradually entering an ideal
