Huang Yi was very smart, especially since Xiao Linlin had almost explicitly hinted at it, he understood the reason long ago.

He now knows that the survivor he scouted near Changshen Palace is the son of the vice sect leader.

Although it is still unclear what methods Xiao Linlin used to bring about such a shocking scandal, it is enough to prove how cruel and terrifying Xiao Linlin's methods are.

Even those from thousands of miles away, remotely controlling the entire situation from the sidelines, are not immune to the influence of the immortal sects.

But at the same time, Huang Yi also felt a faint sense of relief.

He was glad that he had made the decision to follow Su Lin sooner, and that he hadn't become enemies with Xiao Linlin.

He was even more grateful for the subtle deterrence that Xiao Linlin had given him, which at least showed that he still had value in Xiao Linlin's eyes and was worth being deterred from.

In the eyes of intelligent people, loyalty and following are empty words; only value and interests are the basis for their evaluation of everything.

As long as Huang Yi still has value, he is Xiao Linlin's friend and also Su Lin's friend.

If you have no value... then try your best to always have value!

Huang Yi shivered silently and turned to leave.

He had no desire to browse the black market at all; he just wanted to find a quiet place to think about how many more days he could get Xiao Linlin's attention and how to gain even more of her attention.

Just half a month after Huang Yi began to ponder, the results of the examinations were successively distributed to the various sect teams, and Xiao Linlin and the others also received the official results of the Immortal Sect selection.

Xiao Linlin was chosen by Changshen Palace, while some members of the rest of the team went to Tianya Mountain.

This result shocked the unsuspecting survivors, but what shocked them even more was yet to come.

The day after the official results of the examination were released, another astonishing piece of news broke out at Changshen Palace!

The vice sect leader's wife sneaked into the sect's death row cell under cover of night and killed the wicked son on the spot! She then fled the sect and vanished without a trace!

Once this news spread, it reignited public opinion in Duantian City, with cultivators everywhere discussing the matter.

Some say that this was because the mother was so ashamed and indignant that she could not bear the humiliation and wanted to kill her son to show her resolve.

Some say this was an internal decision by Changshen Palace, sacrificing a noble son to put an end to the scandal.

Some even speculate that his mother had long since gone mad from practicing demonic arts and committed such evil deeds, and that killing her son was merely a further step in advancing her demonic powers.

Regardless of everyone's speculations, Changshen Palace did not make any strong statements. Instead, it dispatched a large number of Tian Shu cultivators to suppress public opinion on the matter in various places and did not allow others to discuss it at will. As a result, many people were implicated, and some sects were even destroyed.

When the immortal sect suffers misfortune, outsiders die. This is the tyranny of the Tian Shu Immortal Sect, but no one in the world dares to speak out and can only shut up.

In the final handling of this matter, Changshen Palace did not investigate it too deeply, and no new information came. It seems that Changshen Palace wanted to downplay the matter and not mention it again, and did not send anyone to hunt down the deputy sect leader's wife who had fled and disappeared.

The mother killing her son was a foolish thing, and Chang Shen Palace didn't want to get involved, nor did he know how to get involved.

However, according to insiders, the deputy sect leader's lineage suffered a severe setback as a result, and the deputy sect leader himself was stripped of his power by rival sects. He could only use the excuse of seclusion to heal his injuries and no longer concern himself with worldly affairs.

Only Huang Yi could see that Xiao Linlin was paving the way for her to enter Changshen Palace.

With this young girl's ruthless methods, once she enters Changshen Palace, the extent to which Changshen Palace will be infiltrated will soon surpass that of Tianya Mountain.

After this incident, Xiao Linlin and the others prepared to set off. Under the guidance of the Immortal Sect cultivators, they were to part ways and were not allowed to return to their original sects to say goodbye.

However, before they left, another major event occurred, a major event for the Xiaoyun Temple team.

A few days ago, Li Xingtian specially sought out the Tian Shu cultivators of Tianya Mountain. With Jia Zhengyi's support, he conducted a relatively private internal assessment at the Tianya Mountain residence and won the last grand prize spot. He was selected by Tianya Mountain to become a disciple and was promoted to an inner disciple through an exceptional promotion.

This was unprecedented. While Jia Zhengyi's behind-the-scenes manipulation played a significant role, it was also inseparable from Li Xingtian's terrifying talent and level of strength.

But who would have thought that word of this matter would leak out, and just as the team was about to leave, the Nascent Soul cultivators sent by Changshen Palace to escort Xiao Linlin not only took Xiao Linlin away, but also Li Xingtian.

His attitude was extremely domineering, not allowing the rest of the team to resist or explain, and he took the two of them and flew away from Duan Tian City.

Upon receiving the news, Jia Zhengyi arrived late and immediately launched into a tirade of curses, denouncing Changshen Palace for its shameless behavior! Relying on his position as the organizer of this grand prize and his right of first choice, they were trying to snatch talent from Tianya Mountain!

Unfortunately, all he could do was curse and rant; he was powerless to change the outcome and could only leave dejectedly with the rest of the group.

Huang Yi wasn't chosen. He had already received Xiao Linlin's orders to lead the remaining unselected people back to Xiaoyun Temple. Most of these people were survivors and were not qualified to come into contact with Xiao Linlin's undercover plan.

Before leaving, Huang Yi looked up one last time in the direction where Xiao Linlin had been led away. The survivor next to him thought Huang Yi was feeling sad and sighed with a headache: "We're doomed now. How are we going to explain this to Boss Su when we get back?"

"We were just going on a long trip and all we needed to do was send off a group of followers, but we didn't expect that even Sister Xiao and our master would be taken away. This has really taken a heavy toll on our strength."

The other survivors also sighed, deeply moved, unsure how to explain things to Su Lin when they returned.

"No need to explain, the abbot will understand."

Huang Yi shook her head, her tone calm.
