Chapter 29: Infiltrating the Wanjian Sect
When the flying snow was about to fall on Wanqi Shuang, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
She looked at the empty yard.
After the barrier dissipated, she only had time to exchange a glance with Ji Weihang before Ji Weihang picked up the bone whip on the ground and disappeared.
She turned and left. The owner of this place did not welcome her, not to mention that he had just lost his apprentice.
As she stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, she met many pairs of eyes.
Yingping City does not welcome humans. When she came in, she knocked away countless evil cultivators and ghosts along the way.
Ignoring their gazes, she walked quickly towards the city gate. Ji Weihang must have used some formation to travel quickly. She could fly back to Baiping City in a quarter of an hour by herself, not much slower than Ji Weihang.
She came alone, and left all the uninjured ordinary women and the injured women in the City Lord's Mansion of Baiping City.
Bringing them along would be slow and cumbersome. If her senior sister hadn't insisted that she bring them along, she would have handled everything by herself.
Click.
She crushed the spell on the ground with one foot, which would bring bad luck to the person for a long time.
After her foot left, a frosty shoe print was left on the ground, and a painful groan from a strange cultivator was heard in the corner.
Facing the tough leader of the righteous sect and the number one sword cultivator, the tricksters who used tricks came one after another, treating it as a kind of fun. After all, it wouldn't kill them if they provoked her a little.
When she left Yingping City, there were already a bunch of strange cultivators lying on the ground behind her. The smell of alcohol in the air was replaced by the cold smell of ice and snow.
Soon, the strong aroma of wine emanating from the City Lord's Mansion dispelled the cold smell of ice and snow, and once again made Yingping City warm and intoxicating.
——
On the other side, Wei Hang, who had returned to Yaoping City through the formation, was heading towards Baiping City.
She knew that with Wanqi Shuang's speed, he would soon catch up. The speed of a sword cultivator was one of the best.
After arriving at Baiping City, she did not stop to enter the city, but changed her appearance and continued to rush towards the border of the human world along the Ping'ou Mountains.
She wanted to sneak into the Wanjian Sect and steal a sword while Wanqi Shuang was away.
Relying on the pressure of the out-of-body stage, she flew over the Ping'ou Mountains on her sword without being disturbed at all, and she soon saw the border of the human world.
The border of the human world is a very long and deep ravine. Looking to both sides, the ravine has no end in sight. This is the sword mark left by the sword cultivators in the war with the demons more than 1,200 years ago. There are still residual strong winds blowing to prevent the demons from crossing the border.
It is impossible to fly in the air with a sword here. The only road within a thousand miles is a suspension bridge leading to the gate of Myanmar Ying City.
She jumped off the sword and showed her ID to the young soldier guarding the bridge. Then, with the entry permit, she walked along the suspension bridge swaying in the wind, passed through a racial barrier, and arrived at the city gate.
After having her identity verified again and handing over her entry permit, she entered Myanmar Ying City.
Myanmar Ying City is the only city within hundreds of miles of the border. It is close to the resource-rich Ping'ou Mountains. There are various group activities throughout the year - monks from various sects who are on missions, young monks who are interested in adventure, bounty hunters, adventure teams, mercenaries, etc.
It was close to the hour of Hai, and most of the residents had gone home to rest. Only monks and occasionally demons were walking on the streets.
She walked along the avenue at the city gate and came to the central square of Myanmar-British City, where nine monuments stood, recording the names of soldiers who died in the war four hundred years ago.
Here, there is a secret passage leading to the underground teleportation array. She did not enter the secret passage, but found a corner and directly blended into the shadows and reached the underground passage.
The old man who was guarding the teleportation array was not surprised to see someone suddenly appear. He sat in the rocking chair and rocked slightly, saying, "It costs 100 spirit stones to open the array. The human world costs 500, the demon world costs 800, and the devil world costs 1,000."
She threw six spirit crystals to the old man and said, "Zhongzhou, Wanjian Sect, Bahun City." One spirit crystal is equal to one hundred spirit stones.
The old man put away the spirit crystal, stood up, and began to modify some of the formation patterns.
Unlike the fixed teleportation formation she had used before to teleport between Yaoping City and Yingping City, the long-distance teleportation formation that could change the teleportation position was extremely sophisticated and required the person guarding the formation to change the formation pattern to change the destination.
Wei Hang did not urge him, as the slightest mistake in the formation pattern would make people lost in the rules of space, or even lose their heads and bodies.
Therefore, most unofficial teleportation arrays are reputable and have existed for a long time.
The underground formation was a relic from ancient times. It was said that it was used as a backup formation four hundred years ago to secretly transport soldiers to the front line to catch the demons off guard.
She looked around.
This is an underground cave with torches hanging on the stone walls for lighting. The light is dim, and occasionally water drops fall to the ground, making tiny dripping sounds.
There is no breath of life, and it is hard to imagine that someone stays here for a long time.
The patterns on the ground changed as the old man modified them, emitting a faint light from time to time, illuminating the wrinkles on the old man's face and his focused, bright eyes.
"alright."
After a moment, the old man stood up and asked her to stand in the center of the formation. After she stood in place, the old man pointed at a certain position in the formation, and like the finishing touch, the formation was suddenly activated and enveloped by spiritual light.
When the light of the formation disappeared, Wei Hang was already standing in the courtyard of a magnificent restaurant.
This is the unofficial teleportation array of Eight Souls City. She glanced at the restaurant surrounding the courtyard. There were no customers at this time, only some waiters were wiping and cleaning, and they did not show any surprise when they saw her.
She walked out of the restaurant with the sign "Yelilou". There were many people coming and going on the street outside, and demons were not uncommon.
This is the night market in Eight Souls City, where some items that cannot be circulated openly are bought and sold, such as minerals related to communication technology, various identification documents...
Bahun City is the closest city to the Wanjian Sect. Under the direct jurisdiction of the Wanjian Sect, the Wanjian Sect's maids who are completing missions outside usually use Bahun City as a rest stop. Here, she can easily find traces of the Wanjian Sect's maids' activities.
She released her spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the entire city, and soon picked out a group of women from the Wanjian Sect who were about to return to the sect.
A lonely and deserted street.
"Li Shan, follow closely." The companion urged the woman walking at the end.
They were all wearing the Wanjian Sect's nanny clothes, which had a light blue background, light-colored patterns, and unsheathed swords embroidered on the chest.
“Hey, okay.” The woman called Li Shan picked up the small white flowers on the ground and quickly followed.
When the companion in front of Li Shan turned the corner, Wei Hang, who was waiting for an opportunity, jumped off the eaves and appeared behind Li Shan silently.
Knock them out, lock them in a barrier with a set time to unlock, read their memories, and use the mask to change their appearance.
Within a few breaths, she had transformed into Li Shan, an outer sect maid of the Wanjian Sect.
She straightened the Wanjian Sect's maiden clothes she had brought with her, turned the corner and caught up with the team.
"Li Shan, where did you go just now?" The leader looked at "Li Shan" who had fallen behind and reappeared. She grabbed "Li Shan's" hand, observed his reaction, and touched it again, but didn't notice anything wrong.
Although Li Shan was only a breath slower, he still had to check.
When faced with a companion who has fallen behind and reappeared, the first reaction is to verify his identity. —— "A Guide for Safe Travel for Orthodox Sect Women".
The others also looked at their companions with suspicion and caution.
"I picked it up, a flower." "Li Shan" uttered a few words slowly, raised a small white flower in his hand, and a silly smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the looks in her companions' eyes, she said a little slowly: "Oh, the code...tomorrow, a head full of flowers."
The reaction is right, the code is right.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone said, "Shanshan, you are not smart and you are easily deceived, do you know that? Don't fall behind. What if something happens and we are too late to rescue you in time?"
Li Shan nodded, "Okay."
Seeing that there was no problem, the leader turned around and left, saying, "Hurry up, the leader is still waiting."
Sect leader? Wei Hang frowned secretly. This was a bit of a coincidence. She chose them because this team was of average strength. After entering the sect, their actions would not attract attention, making it easier for her to act alone.
Who would have thought that this team would actually go directly to see the leader.
Her disguise was not perfect. If she was discovered... While she was thinking to herself, the group had already arrived at a house in Eight Souls City.
After knocking on the door and giving the secret signal, the people in the house opened the door and let them in. They entered a secret passage from the well in the yard and walked to a formation point.
The person guarding the formation was a young man who was also wearing a woman's clothing. She casually counted the number of people, and after they stood on the formation, she activated the formation.
After the light of the formation disappeared, a familiar courtyard appeared in front of Wei Hang.
The cool moonlight falls quietly in the courtyard, precious and rare plants are planted casually, and exquisite lanterns are hung on the corridor, revealing beautiful patterns.
The courtyard of the Shengming Hall of the Wanjian Sect, where the head of the sect resides, was also her destination this time.
What a coincidence... Wei Hang had thousands of thoughts surging in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He followed the group into the brightly lit hall. Now that we're here.
After being informed, they met the leader of the Wanjian Sect, Wan Daiyi, in Shengming Hall.
She was wearing a simple black dress with her black hair loose behind her head, looking relaxed, but this did not detract from her majesty.
This kind of majesty is different from Ying Zhaohun. Ying Zhaohun is surrounded by a sense of danger that will cost you your head in the next second, while Bandai just sits there quietly, like a heavy mountain, crushing all dangerous factors.
Although Bandaiichi is not the leader of the righteous path or the number one sword cultivator - she is not even a sword cultivator, but a formation cultivator - no one can ignore her existence.
Four hundred years ago, during the great war between the two clans, Wan Daiyi went into the enemy camp alone and rescued more than a hundred trapped monks. After her master's wife and the previous Demon Emperor Ji Yuan died together, she single-handedly supported the Wanjian Sect, which suffered heavy casualties and was in a period of transition. It was also she who raised her junior sister, Wanqi Shuang, the current number one sword cultivator.
On the surface, she is kind to others and doesn't like fighting, but everyone knows that she is even more untouchable than Wanqi Shuang.
"Greetings, Master." Everyone bowed in unison.
Wei Hang stood at the back and followed the others in saluting, but his eyes wandered towards the side hall while he lowered his head.
According to Bai Zhiyu's memory, the sword she wanted should be placed there.
"Master, we met Ying Feiqiong near the Three Realms Secret Realm. She has the token of the Immortal Lord Changming, and asked us to bring it to you."
The leading young woman took out an antique wooden box from her storage bag and presented it with both hands.
Changming Xianjun is a respectful title for Wanqi Shuang. Even at the out-of-body stage, he is also worthy of being called Xianjun.
Wan Daiyi took the wooden box, grabbed the young woman's wrist, stopped her from retreating, and said in a deep voice: "Demon, what is your purpose in sneaking in?"
Everyone below looked confused and surprised.
Demon clan?
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then she smiled, her voice suddenly becoming sweet and tender, "As expected of you, the head of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
She did not shake off the hand that was holding her, but instead followed the other party's strength and sat in Bandaiichi's arms. She stretched out her hand with a smile and tried to touch Bandaiichi's face.
"Everyone knows that I like sword cultivators the most. My goal, of course, is to steal a sword cultivator from you."
Her true colors were revealed after she was exposed: red hair, red eyes, and flamboyant.
Seeing the demon sitting in the arms of her leader and touching her face frivolously, the old woman below twitched her lips. Even those who had never seen her could tell her identity from her behavior.
Wei Hang's gaze drifted towards the side hall, while he was distractedly thinking: Why is Ji Chengyuan here?
The son of the Demon Clan, Ji Chengyuan, is the son of the previous Demon Emperor Ji Yuan. Raised by the current Demon Emperor Ji Ni, he is arrogant and unruly, flirting with beauties everywhere in the Three Realms, regardless of gender, race, or origin, only looking at their faces.
"Ji Chengyuan, stop talking nonsense." Wan Daiyi said coldly, "As the son of the Demon Clan, you should know that your act of sneaking into the Wanjian Sect will affect the peace between the two clans."
"Hey." Ji Chengyuan lazily leaned in Wan Dai's arms and waved his left hand casually, "Don't put the blame on me. I'm just very interested in some things."
As he said this, he was about to stand up.
How could Wan Daiyi let her sit in his arms whenever she wanted, or leave whenever she wanted? He grabbed her hand and said, "What gave you a reason to sneak into the heart of my sect?"
Even though he was not allowed to leave, Ji Chengyuan did not get angry and simply sat on the floor.
"Last time in the Three Realms Secret Realm, I saw something... um... it was the death scene of your favorite Bai Zhiyu. But that's not important. What's important is that I was particularly interested in something afterwards. After the secret realm training ended, I stayed near the Three Realms Secret Realm for a few days."
Ji Chengyuan glanced at the others below, and Wei Hang felt that her gaze seemed to stay on him for a second, "Guess what I saw?"
What did he see... Ying Feiqiong? Ji Weihang guessed.
Bandai's face was solemn and he asked the others to leave.
When Weihang turned around and left with the others, his palms were burning hot.
When you unfold it, you see a smile drawn by three bloody lines.
It should have been left over from the previous body search.
She recognized her.
