Time flies when you're on a shuttle boat.
Almost in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, and they had arrived at the Nine Star Domain. The shuttle boat stopped at the docking point in the Nine Star Domain.
Those who were already in the Nine Star Domain naturally disembarked from the shuttle immediately.
Some of those heading to the Azure Sky Domain took advantage of the stop to disembark from the shuttle boat and wander around the vicinity.
Of course, most people remained on the shuttle, either walking around inside or keeping their doors tightly shut and showing no intention of coming out. Shushu and his group were the ones who kept their doors tightly shut.
However, thanks to the Immortal Gathering Array on the shuttle boat, the environment is relatively safe unless something unexpected happens.
Especially for those independent cultivators who haven't joined any faction, the expensive shuttle boat is undoubtedly a good place for seclusion.
Therefore, many wandering immortals, upon entering their rooms, immediately activate their protective barriers and immerse themselves in cultivation.
Shushu and his companions blended in with the group of wandering immortals without standing out, and did not attract anyone's attention.
Naturally, no one noticed that after nightfall, all of them secretly affixed invisibility talismans and left the room.
Following closely behind, under Hou Yuanxun's cover, the group quietly disembarked from the shuttle boat and headed towards the main city of Nine Star City, which was not far away.
The shuttle boat docked in the back city of Nine Star City. Although it was some distance from the main city, it wasn't far. In the darkness of night, they quickly arrived at the edge of the main city.
Hou Yuanxun and the people from Jingtian Palace had already received the news and were secretly waiting here in advance.
Once the two groups met, with someone they knew leading the way, they moved even faster, taking shortcuts where no one was around.
They moved with lightning speed, and in less than half an hour, they successfully reached the outside of the Nine Star Palace walls, into a small courtyard not far away.
After confirming that no one was following them and there was nothing unusual, the person leading the way took out a jade slip and quickly opened the barrier without knocking. After everyone went inside, the barrier was restarted.
The group arrived at the main courtyard, where the leader removed his cloak, revealing his true appearance as a handsome male cultivator.
Hou Yuanxun took the opportunity to introduce the two parties. The other party greeted Shushu, and Shushu knew who the other party was.
As for this courtyard, Hou Yuanxun had already mentioned that it was one of their hidden agents and communication points, and there was also a secret passage in the courtyard that allowed them to sneak into the Nine Star Palace.
In fact, with the other seven palaces relentlessly stirring up trouble, the Nine Star Palaces have already been thoroughly compromised, except for a few main palaces which have not yet been infiltrated. The others have long since become riddled with holes.
Jingtian Palace, which has always been at odds with Huaiyu, played a significant role in achieving this result.
Unlike Fengyu Palace, which openly and legitimately used the guise of sparring to cripple Huaiyu every few days, Jingtian Palace always resorted to underhanded tactics, consistently delivering a heavy blow to its opponents.
The lightning punishment power that Huaiyu had been carrying for years and could not be removed was their doing.
Jingtian Palace had spies around Huaiyu. Whenever they noticed that the power of lightning punishment on Huaiyu's body was weakening, they would send a message to Jingtian Palace.
Then, the people of Jingtian Palace will secretly expose Huaiyu's hidden schemes to the public, and summon a lightning tribulation to strike her severely.
To be honest, it's a miracle that Huaiyu has survived to this day.
Anyone else who went through what she's been through over the years would probably be dead by now, but she's like an unkillable cockroach, with an exceptionally strong will to live.
Even if they are barely clinging to life, dragging their broken bodies along, they are still alive, aren't they?
This time, Shushu planned to take the opponent by surprise and make them fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years.
Yes, it was a deep sleep. It wasn't just a wild idea from Shushu; it was something her Dao had taught her after she cultivated to the level of a Golden Immortal.
The way of millet and potatoes is to get to the root of the problem and to drive away evil, so as to restore peace and clarity to the world.
When she was a lowly Earth Immortal, Shushu hadn't sensed it yet, but after she cultivated to the Golden Immortal level, her Dao clearly told her that evil was buried in the Nine Star Palace, and that there was a sin that could trigger the greatest lightning punishment.
Her usually silent Dao gave her unusual guidance, instructing her to find the evil entity and do everything in her power to uncover its veil and expose it to the light so that the lightning punishment could sense it.
At that time, the lightning and the rules will naturally punish the perpetrators severely, and her path will be further solidified.
Huaiyu was, after all, a Celestial Emperor. Originally, Shushu had not planned to make a move so quickly, since their current strength was not strong enough and their abilities were limited.
Even Tianluo and his group's previous plan was just to cause widespread destruction and take advantage of what they had to first severely injure Hu Ling, a general under Huaiyu, and cripple one of his arms. They did not intend to confront him directly.
But with Hou Yuanxun joining the fray, knowing he had a way to infiltrate the Nine Star Palace, Shushu decided to find the place her Dao had pointed out.
After discussing it with Hou Yuanxun, they decided to go all out, which is why they came to this courtyard, intending to change their identity and infiltrate the Nine Star Palace.
Hou Yuanxun was very reliable. Shushu and the others only waited here for about fifteen minutes before a few people came out of the secret passage.
These individuals were all informants planted here by the Heavenly Palace, and they were absolutely loyal, having sworn oaths to the Heavenly Dao.
Shushu and Luli looked at them several times and questioned them carefully before finally choosing someone from the patrol team to replace them.
Don't get me wrong, the person who replaced her wasn't Shushu, but Lu Li.
