“Brother Wang is right to reprimand me. It’s mainly because your cultivation is too high, and this is your Zhengyang Sect’s territory. I had no choice but to resort to this tactic, and I feel quite ashamed.” Li Changsheng looked guilty, clearly feeling that his method was somewhat despicable.

Wang Wuxie sneered: "You speak so eloquently, yet your deeds are nothing but thievery and debauchery. Li Changsheng, what kind of path do you still pursue? You are destined to never become an immortal in this life."

Li Changsheng remained calm: "Throughout history, how many people have actually become immortals? It's normal that I can't become an immortal."

Seeing his dismissive attitude, Wang Wuxie felt like he had punched a cotton ball: "How exactly did you get Yan Xuehen's handwritten letter? Even I couldn't see through it?"

This is what he can't understand the most, and it's also why he was so easily fooled.

Li Changsheng was somewhat surprised: "You don't suspect that Junior Sister Yan is in cahoots with us?"

Wang Wuxie coldly replied, "How could Fairy Yan, a person of such refined and otherworldly nature, possibly stoop to your level?"

Wang Wuxie had never liked a woman this much in his entire life, and he had complete confidence in his judgment.

Li Changsheng sighed, “Everyone says that you, Wang Wuxie, are infatuated with Junior Sister Yan, and today I see that it is indeed true. That’s right, this letter was not written by Junior Sister Yan, but I used some words from her usual letters and pieced them together. Although this letter was not written by Junior Sister Yan, every word was written by her own hand, which is why you couldn’t see the flaws.”

Only because he was a fellow disciple of Bai Yujing did he have the opportunity to obtain so many of Yan Xuehen's handwritings without arousing suspicion.

At this moment, Xuan Bajing couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, this letter isn't without flaws. After all, it's pieced together. At first, I was worried that you were too clever to fall for it, but I didn't expect you to fall into the trap in the end. Now it seems that you, Wang Wuxie, aren't as smart as the legends say."

“If it’s anything else, Brother Wang is quite clever, but when it comes to Fairy Yan, he’s not so clever,” Guan Chouhai said with a smile. “Men are very foolish. When it comes to the woman they love, even if there are some suspicious clues, they will deceive themselves.”

Wang Wuxie was a little embarrassed: "Guan Chouhai, how dare you say that to me? You've been following Yan Xuehen around like a puppy all these years, I would never do such a thing."

He considered himself to be quite gentlemanly, not pestering Yan Xuehen relentlessly. In contrast, Guan Chouhai's antics seemed like those of a clown.

Guan Chouhai angrily said, "I can't stand people like you who are so self-righteous. You're so concerned about saving face when you're chasing women. As the saying goes, even a good woman can't stand a persistent woman. Over the years, how many words have you spoken to Yan Xuehen, and how many words have I spoken to her? I'm afraid she knows me better than she does."

"So you, surnamed Wang, really have no self-awareness. If Yan Xuehen were to fall for someone, she would only come to me. Why would she invite someone as boring as you in the middle of the night?"

"Shameless!" Wang Wuxie didn't even bother to get angry with him. He knew Yan Xuehen's personality best; how could she possibly be interested in someone like Guan Chouhai?

Guan Chouhai sensed the contempt in his eyes and couldn't stand it. He shouted that he wanted to settle things with him.

Xuan Bajing couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Guan, business is important, don't be jealous here."

Guan Chouhai looked embarrassed, but he still focused.

Sensing the auras of the group subtly locking onto him, Wang Wuxie grew anxious and decided to stall for time: "There's something I don't understand. Over the years, I haven't exactly treated you well, but at least I haven't bullied you. Why are you joining forces against me today?"

As he spoke, he glanced around. A barrier had been secretly erected in the vicinity, so the sounds of a fight wouldn't be heard. He thought that alerting the Zheng Yang Sect might not be an option. He had no choice but to find a way to break out on his own.

Li Changsheng sighed: "Brother Wang has been living a life of ease and comfort these past few years, so naturally he doesn't understand the suffering of people like us."

Xuan Bajing snorted: "Back in the day, Kunlun Xu was the leader of the Daoist sect. In recent years, it has been oppressed and dismembered by the imperial court. Only you, a lackey, have managed to live a glorious life by joining the imperial court. Which of the other eight sects is not miserable?"

Wang Wuxie's heart stirred: "It seems you're planning a rebellion."

He knew the emperor was going to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Zishan, but at this particular moment, these people attacked him, which clearly meant they were targeting the emperor.

“Brother Wang is indeed wise,” Li Changsheng nodded approvingly. “If Brother Wang agrees to cooperate with us, then our nine sects of Taoism can completely unite and deal with Zhao Hao together.”

"Even if I agreed now, would you believe me?" Wang Wuxie was naturally not fooled by his casual words.

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Of course, Brother Wang needs to show some sincerity."

Wang Wuxie didn't ask what the so-called sincerity was; it was nothing more than temporarily locking his meridians and surrendering without resistance. How could he possibly agree to that?

"Did you kidnap Peng Wuyan from Kongming Island?" he asked directly. Everyone had been searching everywhere for the past few days but couldn't find Peng Wuyan. They didn't know who was so powerful as to be able to silently abduct a strong disciple in Zishan, a place full of experts.

Li Changsheng shook his head slightly: "We don't know what's going on either. It seems there are some powerful figures hiding on Purple Mountain."

"How many sects are involved in this matter?" Wang Wuxie asked again, thinking that if the other eight sects were involved, the entire Zhengyang Sect might face annihilation.

Li Changsheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Brother Wang, you will naturally know once you join us."
