Chapter 4800: Turning the Tables

"Jin He, use the communication artifact to contact Shang. Let's work together; it will be safer," Gang commanded.

"Yes, Lord Gang," Jin He replied. He took out a small, golden, shimmering mirror, cast a spell into it, and the mirror's surface blurred to reveal a plump woman in a purple dress.

"Madam Luo," Jin He said, "Lord Gang asked me to contact Lord Shang."

The woman in the purple dress nodded. The mirror surface blurred again, and a giant, humanoid, ten-colored Chaos Beast appeared in the mirror.

Jin He handed the golden mirror to Gang. Gang said, "Shang, I've found Mo Yinyin's whereabouts. Are you interested in coming with me?"

"Mo Yinyin! Zhou Dian's youngest disciple?" Shang asked.

"Precisely," Gang nodded.

"Is the information reliable? Zhou Dian isn't there, is he?" Shang inquired.

"He shouldn't be there. If he is, it will be easier to escape if we work together," Gang replied.

"Aren't you calling Sha?" Shang asked, puzzled.

"Why call him? His strength surpasses ours. If we call him, we'll just be sidekicks. He'll get the credit, and if anything goes wrong, we'll take the blame," Gang stated.

"Alright! I'll go with you then!" Shang agreed.

"Call a few more Dao Ancestors! I have a feeling this trip won't be too smooth," Gang said.

"Understood," Shang replied.

Somewhere in the Immortal Realm, in a sea region ravaged by lightning and strong winds, thick bolts of immortal lightning occasionally tore through the sky, creating a terrifying spectacle.

On a barren island ten thousand miles in circumference, vegetation was sparse, and most of the island was bare, making it incredibly desolate.

Cai Ji flew from a distance and landed on the island's beach.

"How did it go? Did you relay the message to Gang?" a majestic male voice asked.

"I've already informed him; he said he'd handle it personally," Cai Ji replied. Remembering something, he cautiously asked, "Lord Sha, Mo Yinyin is Zhou Dian's disciple. Perhaps Zhou Dian is at Mo Yinyin's hiding place. Even if not, capturing Mo Yinyin might lead us to Zhou Dian's whereabouts."

"Hmph, if it were that easy to find Zhou Dian's whereabouts, we would have found him long ago," the man analyzed. "If you were Zhou Dian and staying with your disciple, would your disciple easily let outsiders into their hiding place? Couldn't they discuss matters elsewhere? Wouldn't that be inviting trouble? Mo Yinyin isn't that foolish."

"Lord Sha's insight is clear. So, this is a trap set by the Immortals? They discovered Fellow Daoist Liu's mole long ago and intentionally exposed their location? Aren't they afraid of attracting powerful experts?" Cai Ji asked, perplexed.

"Perhaps Mo Yinyin discovered the mole and is simply turning their scheme against them. If they dare to do this, they must have something to rely on. Either a new powerful expert has emerged—don't assume Dao Ancestors from the Chaos Era are the strongest; every generation produces talented individuals—or Mo Yinyin has acquired powerful high-grade Dao artifacts, fifth-tier immortal arrays, or fifth-tier immortal talismans," the man slowly analyzed.

Cai Ji hesitated, appearing to have something difficult to say.

"Are you trying to say this will kill Gang?" the man asked.

"Given Lord Gang's strength, probably not," Cai Ji replied cautiously. Cai Ji knew that if Sha truly meant to harm Gang, he might eventually need to silence anyone aware of his intentions.

"That's hard to say. Doesn't he like to take credit? It's up to his luck. It's best if he doesn't die, but if he does, it's his misfortune. One less person won't affect the outcome of the Great Dao War. You are my person, understand?" the man's tone was cold.

"Your subordinate understands," Cai Ji quickly nodded.

A golden storage bracelet flew out from a cave and landed in Cai Ji's hand.

"The resources here are enough for you to open two more fundamental laws. Do your part, and you can also report me to Lord He," the man said.

Cai Ji's face paled, and he immediately knelt, saying, "Without Lord Sha, there would be no subordinate. I would never betray Lord Sha, not even in death."

"It's good that you understand. For now, stay on the island and cultivate new fundamental laws here! You don't need to worry about Gang. He's repeatedly tried to steal my credit and is digging his own grave. Liu Yunhai doesn't have good intentions either. Dao Ancestor Tianqin is certainly not his mole. If you are greedy for merit and rashly go look for Mo Yinyin on your own, you will definitely suffer a great loss," the man instructed.

"Yes, Lord Sha, your wisdom is clear. Otherwise, your subordinate would have fallen for it," Cai Ji praised.

"Alright, find a place to cultivate your fundamental laws! Just not in the center of the island," the man instructed.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys," Cai Ji agreed.

In a secret chamber in Tiansha City, runes flickered on the stone walls, emitting powerful restrictive fluctuations.

Mo Yinyin was conversing with a tall man in silver robes. The silver-robed man was slightly larger than a human, with natural golden patterns on his face, and his aura was stronger than Mo Yinyin's.

"Fellow Daoist Cui," Mo Yinyin said, "I've found a reason to keep them here. We'll know who the mole is when the Chaos Beasts arrive. Don't rush to act yet; instead, look for opportunities from the shadows to deal with the powerful Chaos Beasts."

"Don't worry, I haven't made a move in all these years, so they definitely don't know of my existence," the silver-robed man said. "However, this puts you in a very dangerous situation."

Cui Feng, a late-stage Dao Ancestor, had opened seven fundamental laws and one supreme fundamental law, and he had a condensed Dao foundation. This powerful expert of the current era had been in hiding. Not all powerful Dao Ancestors were from the Chaos Era; strong individuals also emerged in the new era.

"Don't worry, I have a backup plan; nothing will happen," Mo Yinyin said with full confidence. "When the time comes, you'll join me in attacking, and we'll kill one of the Dao Ancestors first."

"Speaking of which, the Chaos Beast Progenitor won't personally intervene, will it?" Cui Feng asked, somewhat worried. Mo Yinyin was Zhou Dian's youngest disciple, and one of his few remaining disciples in the world, making it highly possible she could attract the Chaos Beast Progenitor.

"I don't have that much influence," Mo Yinyin said dismissively. After a slight pause, she added, "If the Chaos Beast Progenitor does appear in person, we'll have no choice but to flee in separate directions. This time, the main goal is to find the mole, otherwise we won't be able to unite against the Chaos Beasts." If there was a mole, no matter how brilliant their battle plans were, the Chaos Beasts would know them.

"Who could the mole be? All four of them have fought against Chaos Beasts, especially the Green Lotus Immortal Couple, who have slain multiple Dao Ancestor-level Chaos Beasts," Cui Feng said, curious.

"Not four, but five," Mo Yinyin corrected him.

"Xu Yan is your disciple; there shouldn't be a problem with her, right?" Cui Feng asked, confused.

"That's hard to say. During the last Great Dao War, one of my grand-disciples betrayed us and sided with the enemy, trying to stab their master in the back. Fortunately, they didn't succeed," Mo Yinyin sighed. The overall strength of the Chaos Beasts was too immense. Traitors continuously emerged on the Immortals' side, making it impossible to win even once. No wonder other Dao Ancestors lacked confidence.

"Come to think of it, everyone is suspicious. We'll probably know once the Chaos Beasts arrive," Cui Feng said gravely.
