Chapter 672: Various Parties Appear

Song Huangda said that individual contacted him again. This time, he was instructed to closely monitor your master's whereabouts and notify them immediately if there were any signs of you going out.

Listening to Liu Wenbai's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Monitoring his movements—they must be planning to strike! His Extreme Yang Slash had just reached mastery, and he needed to test its sharpness on a few individuals. Now, someone was conveniently delivering themselves to him.

"Currently, there are only a handful of openly known Core Formation cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness. If they intend to confront me, and no Nascent Soul cultivator is involved, they'll need at least three or more cultivators of the same rank. I wonder where the Restoration Society would find so many people? It seems the Profound Sky Dao Palace is about to make its move!"

Over the years, through Song Huangda's reverse infiltration, Chen Mobai had discovered that the Restoration Society's command terminal would aggregate at the Southern Profound Sect on Baose Mountain. In the Eastern Wilderness, things don't require evidence like they do in the Immortal Sect. With this discovery, Chen Mobai directly attributed the Restoration Society to the Profound Sky Dao Palace. After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, no one or any force dared to spy on the Divine Wood Sect like this after the destruction of Shanshan Peak and Liujia Mountain. However, the Profound Sky Dao Palace, with its Nascent Soul cultivators, was different. Although Fang Xuanyang was isolated in the Eastern Wilderness, with Ancestor Jinfeng backing him, he probably still looked down on the Eastern Wilderness mentally. He was the most likely, and most motivated, person to create the Restoration Society.

After discovering this, Chen Mobai's first thought was to bring Mo Dougung and Fu Zongjue, storm Baose Mountain, and kill Fang Xuanyang. However, he hadn't become so overconfident as to disregard everything. Although the Divine Wood Sect and Southern Profound Sect had fought a major war, it was the Southern Profound Sect that was in the wrong at that time. If he were to kill Fang Xuanyang without reason now, Ancestor Jinfeng, if he wanted to continue operating in the Eastern Domain, would undoubtedly act, mobilizing all Profound Sky Dao Palace cultivators to seek revenge in the Eastern Wilderness.

According to Chen Mobai's plan, he would wait until Zhou Shengqing reached Nascent Soul before dealing with Fang Xuanyang and the Restoration Society. But then came the unexpected event of Kuzhu returning after forming his Nascent Soul. To avoid alerting the enemy, he could only let Fang Xuanyang live a few more years. Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanyang showed no appreciation for his goodwill and was now even trying to make a move against him.

After considering this, Chen Mobai silently took out the talisman Zhou Shengqing had given him. Although after mastering the Extreme Yang Slash, virtually no Core Formation cultivator could be his match, he, being always cautious, decided to err on the side of prudence and summon Zhou Shengqing as well.

"Tell Song Huangda to inform the Restoration Society that I will be inspecting the Eastern Wilderness Plateau at the end of next month."

"Yes, Master!" Liu Wenbai nodded in assent. Just as he was about to leave, a hesitant expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Is there anything else?" Chen Mobai couldn't help but ask upon seeing his eldest disciple's expression.

"Master, after the Restoration Society is destroyed, Du Feng, who was in contact with Song Huangda, will no longer be of use. Should we eliminate him?"

Because Song Huangda had accurately delivered intelligence several times, he had almost gained complete trust from the Restoration Society. And when Zhou Shengqing broke through to Nascent Soul last time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged powerfully, creating a grand spectacle. Du Feng, wanting to discover the reason, reactivated his communication with Song Huangda, instructing this third-generation disciple of Xiaonan Mountain to investigate the truth. Song Huangda, who had long since switched allegiance, naturally informed his master, Liu Wenbai, immediately, and Liu Wenbai reported it to Chen Mobai. It was precisely Chen Mobai who actively instructed Song Huangda to reveal that he had broken through to the mid-Core Formation stage, to conceal Zhou Shengqing's achievement of cultivating the Dharma Body Nascent Soul, and also to use this as bait.

Clearly, the intelligence about Chen Mobai breaking through to mid-Core Formation was too significant. After Du Feng received it, he was eager to transmit it, and then his tracks were discovered by the prepared Chen Mobai. However, after Song Huangda drew out this hidden agent, Chen Mobai did not immediately eliminate him. The purpose, of course, was to deliver "accurate" intelligence and capture Fang Xuanyang and the entire Restoration Society in one fell swoop. Liu Wenbai's current query was exactly this.

Chen Mobai considered that this time, with him and Zhou Shengqing making a move, they would definitely be completely breaking ties with the Profound Sky Dao Palace. Keeping Du Feng as a mole was indeed unnecessary, so he nodded. "Du Feng is a cultivator who experienced the Five Elements Sect's secession war, and his cultivation is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. You are not his match. I'll arrange another expert for you."

However, Liu Wenbai, his eldest disciple, was only average in combat techniques, which made Chen Mobai uneasy. Coincidentally, Zheng Deming was about to return. After transmitting his Core Formation insights to Zheng Deming, he would have Zheng Deming and Liu Wenbai go eliminate Du Feng together.

At Fengyuwu.

Zhou Shengqing and Nujiang were playing chess, while Mo Dougung was drinking tea nearby. Just then, Zhou Shengqing's expression froze. He then took out a talisman from his storage bag. After receiving the information within, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Second Senior Brother, what's wrong?" After Nujiang placed his white piece, he couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhou Shengqing's expression.

"Someone who's been playing the meek servant no longer wants to pretend and is now looking to bite." Zhou Shengqing sneered and placed his chess piece down.

"Oh, is Senior Brother finally showing off his skills after forming his Nascent Soul? This might affect the future plan to reclaim the Five Elements Sect!" Nujiang, however, thought of another problem. After all, once the matter of Zhou Shengqing forming his Nascent Soul was exposed, Zhou Ye would surely become highly vigilant, and there might be complications regarding entering the Mixed Yuan Immortal City.

"I'm just going to support Junior Brother Chen. Moreover, if I were to strike at a Core Formation cultivator, I wouldn't let him make a sound." Zhou Shengqing spoke with great confidence, and Nujiang nodded repeatedly upon hearing it. The vast realm difference between Nascent Soul and Core Formation indeed allowed for such a statement.

However, there was one thing Zhou Shengqing hadn't told Nujiang: his main purpose in going was to guard against the shameless Ancestor Jinfeng personally appearing.

"With Junior Brother Chen's sword Dao realm, if his opponent is merely a Core Formation cultivator, there's no need for us to intervene at all." Mo Dougung, who was nearby, couldn't help but interject after hearing this. With a Tier 4 sword artifact in hand, Chen Mobai was probably the only Core Formation cultivator in the entire Eastern Wilderness who could contend relying on the Sword Fiend Thunder Sound realm.

"One-on-one, naturally no one is Junior Brother Chen's match, but what if there's more than one?" Zhou Shengqing said something that surprised both Mo Dougung and Nujiang. In the Eastern Wilderness, the Core Formation cultivators not from their faction were only a handful, perhaps three, and given Zhou Ye's character, he certainly wouldn't step out of Mixed Yuan Immortal City.

"Profound Sky Dao Palace!?" A flash of insight in Nujiang's mind, and he had already guessed the truth.

"Hahaha, Third Junior Brother is indeed intelligent. I hope that old demon Jinfeng doesn't send too many Core Formation cultivators. Otherwise, if they all fall into Junior Brother Chen's hands, I fear he'll just surrender directly to Kongsang Valley in Eastern Yi!" Amidst Zhou Shengqing's laughter, he made his final move, cutting down Nujiang's 'great dragon' (a chess term).

At Mingjing Mountain, Eastern Yi.

In the grand hall of Profound Sky Dao Palace, Ancestor Jinfeng sat on his throne, flanked by six Core Formation cultivators of varied appearances, all clad in golden robes.

"For this encirclement and killing of Chen Guixian of the Divine Wood Sect, Xuan Shu and Xuan Qi, you two shall go. Make sure he does not escape. Cooperate with Xuan Yang to slay him on the spot, then clear the entire Eastern Wilderness Plateau and develop it into a retreat for our sect." Ancestor Jinfeng, with a grim expression, pointed out the two. Xuan Shu and another old man with an ancient, unusual appearance stepped forward and respectfully bowed to him.

"Ancestor, that Chen Guixian possesses a Tier 4 sword artifact, and his cultivation has now broken through to mid-Core Formation. He will clearly be even more formidable. I am deeply concerned about a situation like Kuzhu's occurring. Why not add Junior Sister Xuanyi and Junior Brother Xuanwo? With the five of us forming the Golden Radiance Grand Array, it would surely be foolproof." The old man named Xuan Qi was clearly cautious. He had already reviewed the intelligence sent by Fang Xuanyang and immediately offered his opinion after being singled out.

"A mere Chen Guixian? I alone am sufficient. Senior Brother Xuan Qi only needs to oversee the formation for me." But before Ancestor Jinfeng could speak, Xuan Shu had already said something very arrogant with a calm expression.

"Junior Brother, if I recall correctly, the last time you went to the Eastern Wilderness, you fought against that recently-formed Core Chen Guixian. With your late-Core Formation cultivation, you were only evenly matched with him." Xuan Qi frowned, stating something that caused Xuan Shu's expression to turn cold.

"During that fight, Chen Guixian was backed by the Myriad Wood Grand Array, and I dared not pursue him, which is why it ended in a draw. Moreover, I've already gauged his limits from that encounter; he can at most wield that Tier 4 sword artifact three times. Although he has now broken through to mid-Core Formation, in these sixteen years, I have also broken through and established myself, reaching the strongest realm below Nascent Soul!" As Xuan Shu spoke, his eyes shone like two golden stars, radiating dazzling brilliance. Then, a powerful, complete aura, shocking all Core Formation cultivators in the hall, erupted from him.

"This is..." As the eldest Core Formation cultivator of the Profound Sky Dao Palace, Xuan Qi immediately perceived Xuan Shu's current realm, and his eyes widened in surprise and delight.

"Zhou Shengqing didn't kill me; instead, he allowed me to achieve Core Formation perfection. I will repay this 'favor' with Chen Guixian's head and the destruction of the Divine Wood Sect." Xuan Shu's explosive perfect realm and confident words brought long-lost smiles to the faces of the Profound Sky Dao Palace Core Formation cultivators, who had been living under the shadow of Kuzhu from Kongsang Valley for some time. Even the two who were at odds with Xuan Shu sincerely hoped at this moment that this Dao Child would go to the Eastern Wilderness and resolve his complex.

"Once you clear the Eastern Wilderness, I will prepare the resources for your Nascent Soul formation. I hope you don't disappoint me again!" Ancestor Jinfeng spoke, making a promise.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Shu immediately turned around and bowed respectfully! "Yes, Master!"
