This person is a spy set up by Hong Qing, specifically for Mi Xiaojing.

Mi Xiaojing, of course, did not know that someone had already exposed his whereabouts. He flew along the treetops and quickly arrived at Lu Liu Manor. He did not land directly inside the estate, as that would be impolite. He landed at the entrance of the manor.

Several mortal gatekeepers saw Mi Xiaojing and hurriedly saluted.

Mi Xiaojing’s attire was worn by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. No one dared to wear it casually in the Heart Sect. It would definitely be punished if one wore the attire of the Foundation Establishment stage without reaching that stage.

This kind of attire represents status and identity in the Heart Sect, higher than most people. Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage are the backbone of the sect, and no one dares to underestimate them.

A mortal servant entered the courtyard and ran towards the inside. He didn’t dare to delay for too long.

After a while, the steward Qian Youwei ran out. He was the steward who had been beaten up by Mi Xiaojing before. He only had the cultivation level of the Qi Refining stage. At this moment, when he saw Mi Xiaojing, he was really afraid. He couldn’t believe that Mi Xiaojing had reached the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time. Fortunately, after that incident, Mi Xiaojing didn’t pursue him, and he often went to Mi Xiaojing’s previous residence to handle many transactions.

“Hello, Senior Martial Uncle!”

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, “Is Junior Brother Lu here?” He was now in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and had the qualification to address Lu Yu as Junior Brother.

Qian Youwei nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, the Patriarch is in the back hall. I will take Senior Martial Uncle there.”

Lu Yu did not go to Grass-Benevolence Hall. He sat in the back hall and immediately greeted him when he heard the report. When he saw Mi Xiaojing, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t know that Mi Xiaojing had advanced to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He only knew that Mi Xiaojing had successfully established his foundation. But what surprised him was that he couldn’t see through Mi Xiaojing’s cultivation level at all.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, “Um… what is your cultivation level now?”

Mi Xiaojing was also taken aback. He didn’t expect Lu Yu to ask this question. However, there was nothing to hide, so he said, “After going to the Gathering Spring Branch, I just advanced to the middle stage.”

Lu Yu was shocked. This person was too abnormal. After he established his foundation, he had been unable to make progress. It seemed that the rumors were true. He should be able to refine spirit pills to enhance his strength. His eyes suddenly became hot.

“Ah? Ah! I will call you Senior Martial Brother from now on! Haha!”

Lu Yu laughed loudly, concealing his jealousy. It should be noted that when they first met, Mi Xiaojing was only at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. In such a short time, his cultivation level had surpassed his own. It was said that even the elders in the Elemental Infant stage attached great importance to him, which showed how talented this child was.

Mi Xiaojing smiled slightly and said, “I’ve been busy recently and haven’t had the chance to come here. I came specially to see Junior Brother.”

This sentence sounded awkward to Mi Xiaojing, and Lu Yu felt even more bitter listening to it. He had gone from Senior Martial Uncle to Senior Martial Brother in a short time, and then to Junior Brother. His position was almost gone. If Mi Xiaojing reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have to call him Senior Martial Uncle. It was really speechless.

“Haha, Senior Martial Brother came to see me. It’s my honor! Please, let’s talk inside!”

Mi Xiaojing and Lu Yu were not particularly familiar, but because of their transactions, he felt that this person was trustworthy. Lu Yu always gave him a little more in every transaction, whether it was materials or daily necessities. Mi Xiaojing was very satisfied with this. After all, he used to be a poor person who had nothing and had never seen anything.

The two entered a special guest room. Lu Yu had someone serve fragrant tea and spirit fruits. As he was in charge of cultivating spirit herbs and trees, there were always spirit fruits available at home. This was one of the benefits of being a steward.

Mi Xiaojing asked, “Why didn’t Junior Brother go to guard the formation?”

Lu Yu said, “Grass-Benevolence Hall is very busy, and I can’t leave. Besides, the Ancestor didn’t arrange for me to go… Except for a few cultivators responsible for battle, the rest of us in Grass-Benevolence Hall are still here. The formation is currently fine, so we haven’t been mobilized yet.”

Mi Xiaojing curiously asked, “It seems like there’s nothing happening now. Can our formation hold up? By the way, do you know who is attacking the Heart Sect?”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “I know a little about that.” He had more friends than Mi Xiaojing, so he had more information. Although it might not be accurate, he could still provide some substantial information.

“I heard it’s a sect in the desert called Vast Gold Sect. They are attacking our sect…”

“Why? Do they have a grudge?”

“It is said… um, the specific situation is unclear, but it is said that one of our Elemental Infant Ancestors destroyed the Vast Gold Sect’s sect, so… you know, when a sect’s sect is destroyed, they naturally seek revenge.”

Destroying a sect!

Mi Xiaojing thought of Western Expansion Sect. Their sect was also destroyed by the Heart Sect. The difference was that the high-level members of Western Expansion Sect were all slaughtered, while Vast Gold Sect still had experts. Mi Xiaojing secretly called it fortunate. Finally, someone came to seek revenge, although they were not the experts from Western Expansion Sect.It was not until this moment that Mi Xiaojing finally understood why the sect was so tense.

“Moreover, this attack is different from the last one. Last time, they just made a strike, but this time, the attackers are much more formidable. It is said that there are several real masters who have reached the Elemental Infant stage.”

“That powerful?”

“Yes! So, our sect can only defend, not attack. Fortunately, our sect’s large array was set up by our predecessors, and it’s extremely powerful. They can’t break in for the time being…”

“By the way, I have some news to tell you…”

Lu Yu said mysteriously.

“What news?”

“It’s said that the core of the large array is damaged…”

Mi Xiaojing was stunned. He knew very well what it meant if the core of the large array was damaged. He hurriedly asked, “Is it serious?”

Lu Yu gave a bitter smile, “It’s said to be very serious, but we don’t know the specific situation. The sect has issued a gag order, forbidding discussion on this matter.”

Wang Weijun suddenly interjected, “Very serious… means that if the large array is not corrected, it may collapse!” Only Mi Xiaojing could hear this, Lu Yu had no way of knowing.

“How can it be repaired?”

“How to repair? Such a large mountain protection array, unless it stops operating, can it possibly be repaired. Now it can only be maintained, it’s very dangerous… You need to make plans early.”

Wang Weijun reminded him seriously. He knew more than Mi Xiaojing and of course understood the seriousness of the situation.

“What should I do?”

Mi Xiaojing had no idea what to do. He asked a question, then said, “With the large array activated, we can’t escape either!”

“If that little guy didn’t lie just now, the Vast Gold Sect is probably here to seize our sect’s base. You are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, just the main force of the sect, and also the one they must kill. If you are a Qi Refining cultivator, as long as you don’t resist, you might be spared. The middle and high-level members of the sect are all targets for cleansing, and that definitely includes you.”

“So, once the sect’s large array is broken, you must take your people and flee, or you’re doomed.” (To be continued.)
