"Hey! It's finally my turn!"

Little Fire jumped up excitedly, and a raging fire instantly ignited between its claws.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely make him understand what it means to reap what you sow!"

When Ji Chuan saw Xiao Huo rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, his voice hoarse.

"No! No! Heavenly Emperor, I'm willing to confess everything! I'll tell you! I'll tell you all the secrets!"

Little Fire stopped, gently flicked its tail, and turned to look at Ye Lingtian.

"Master, this guy is putting on an act again. Do you want to hear what other little secrets he has up his sleeve?"

"Listen to this!"

Ye Lingtian's voice was calm.

"But if he dares to utter even a single lie, you know what to do!"

"clear!"

Xiao Huo licked the corner of her mouth and turned to look at Ji Chuan.

"Old man, here's your chance! Speak up now, or my fire won't discriminate!"

Ji Chuan trembled all over, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke.

"It was...it was an envoy from Xuyuan. He...he contacted me through spirit stones, saying that if I set up an array for them, he could help me break through my cultivation level and also make my sect rise. I was momentarily blinded by greed and agreed to their request..."

"Then what?"

The small fire took a step closer, and flames rose between its claws.

"Why did they ask you to set up the formation? Are they planning something big?"

Ji Chuan's face turned even paler, and his voice trembled.

"They...they said they wanted to establish a Void Core on Blue Star, through which they could continuously send demons to descend...They gave me a part of the array core and asked me to find an opportunity to bury it near the Heavenly Cloud Tower."

The other parts... were handled by other monks!

"Other cultivators?"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Lingtian's eyes.

Who is it?
