The deal is done.
As Lin Wanwan watched the jade talisman's light dim, she immediately used her spiritual energy to destroy it, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
Liu Zixi, let's see how you escape this time!
Once you're dead, Senior Brother Mu Yuan will definitely notice me!
I am the chosen one!
Unbeknownst to Lin Wanwan, the moment she activated the jade talisman, the fluctuations in her spiritual energy were quietly detected by another fluctuation of spiritual energy.
On the summit of a mountain near Hidden Peak, Mu Yuan, who was enjoying the moon in a pleasant mood, felt a faint warmth rising from an inconspicuous jade pendant in his sleeve.
His divine sense swept over it, and the smile on his face instantly vanished, turning into a cold frost.
"You're really brave..."
He muttered to himself, his fingertips lightly tapping the jade-bone fan, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.
Mu Yuan's intelligence network was far larger and more efficient than Lin Wanwan had imagined.
As soon as the communication jade talisman was activated, its unique energy fluctuations were captured by the array set up by Mu Yuan.
For the first time, a chilling killing intent flashed in Mu Yuan's usually smiling fox-like eyes.
"Colluding with demonic cultivators to hire assassins, and even trying to leak the sect's defenses... He's really courting death."
Mu Yuan chuckled coldly in a low voice.
With his methods and strength, he could easily crush Lin Wanwan right now.
They could even orchestrate a perfect accident to make her disappear without a trace.
This is the cleanest and most efficient way to prevent future problems.
But just as he was about to order the execution of the traitor, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Getting rid of her directly would be too easy on her.
More importantly, this stepping stone delivered to our doorstep could be used to turn the tables on our scheme.
A slow, expectant smile crept onto his lips.
Yes, let's play along.
This opportunity will not only allow us to completely eliminate the troublesome Lin Wanwan, but also teach Little Ice a lesson.
Even one cannot fully trust one's own fellow disciples.
As for those demonic cultivators, they should be eliminated as well, which can be considered as ridding the sect of a scourge.
With the plan set, Mu Yuan immediately began making arrangements quietly.
Instead of alerting them, he secretly mobilized his forces to conduct even closer surveillance on the group of demonic cultivators.

Three days later, the ancient tomb ruins were found on the southwest side of Black Wind Forest.
Zi Xi is collecting a type of bone-rotting flower that only grows in Yin Sha lands, according to the sect's mission.
She was alone again, focused on her work, unaware of the murderous intent lurking in the shadows.
Suddenly, several dark figures shrouded in dense demonic energy burst forth from the ruins in all directions without warning.
The fierce killing move was aimed directly at Zi Xi's vitals.
Zi Xi's expression changed instantly; she drew her sword to meet the enemy.
But she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage after all.
Faced with the combined attack of several experienced and ruthless demonic cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage or even the Pseudo-Core stage, he was instantly at a disadvantage.
Zi Xi's blue robe was quickly torn apart, and blood stained the hem.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes cold and sharp, and used her swordsmanship to its fullest extent, but she still couldn't break through the encirclement.
Who are you people?!
She asked in a cold voice.
"Why ask so many questions of a dying man!"
The leading demonic cultivator grinned maliciously and launched an even fiercer attack.
A poisoned demonic blade was about to pierce Zi Xi's neck.
"How dare the demonic path be so rampant in broad daylight?"
A lazy, mocking voice rang out like a ghost.
