Outside the gate of the Seek Tao Sect, eight plainly dressed men gathered, discussing matters.

“These rich dogs from the Five Elements Sect, they have so many spirit stones that they don’t know where to spend them. They built such a huge flying ship with a bunch of useless designs! If we had that many spirit stones, many of our plans could be realized!” One of the high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect drooled at the sight of the flying ship parked outside the gate of the Seek Tao Sect, harboring thoughts of theft.

Vice Sect Leader Liu scolded him for his lack of vision: “Calm down! Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world. If our trip goes smoothly and we put the Seek Tao Sect to sleep, we can loot them extensively. Are you afraid we won’t be able to afford such a flying ship?”

Another high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect was somewhat worried about the future: “But can our plan succeed this time? This is the Seek Tao Sect that we’ve never entered before!”

To them, the Seek Tao Sect was like a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den.

“Please rest assured, everyone. Our undercover agent in the Seek Tao Sect has provided us with the activity schedule and a map of the war zone. We will definitely be safe this time!” Tang Yunsheng spoke up. As an inspector, even the helmsman had to salute him when they saw him, but here, he was the one with the lowest position and realm.

“Right, Little Tang is correct.” Another vice sect leader spoke up, his name was Gao Zhenglai, with an early stage of the Union realm.

“Moreover, we are all believers of the Immortal. The Immortal is a symbol of wisdom, strength, and luck. With the blessing of the Immortal, we will surely succeed on this trip!”

“Blessed by the Immortal!”

“Blessed by the Immortal!”

The eight of them chanted quietly, afraid of being heard.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Lu Yang came to greet his subordinates. His public identity was the acting sect leader of the Seek Tao Sect, but in secret, he was the sect leader of the Immortal Sect, playing both sides.

“Let me introduce you, this is the excellent believer who successfully infiltrated the Seek Tao Sect, Helmsman Lu Yang.” Tang Yunsheng introduced, then whispered, “Where are the other two?”

When the leader arrives, how can there be only one person to greet him?

Lu Yang explained: “Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu are busy barbecuing and can’t get away.”

Tang Yunsheng then introduced the seven high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect, including Vice Sect Leaders Liu and Gao, as well as five elder guests.

Tang Yunsheng was responsible for the liaison work. Without him, this trip to the Seek Tao Sect would not have been possible. With his Elemental Infant realm, he wouldn’t even be able to make a splash in the Seek Tao Sect, so there was no need to bring him along.

Lu Yang warned his seven subordinates: “The Seek Tao Sect is a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den for our Immortal Sect, very dangerous. I ask the seven of you to follow my instructions. If anything goes wrong, we will all die without a burial place!”

The seven frowned, instinctively repulsed by the idea of obeying the command of a Foundation Establishment stage. But considering that in a mental hospital, visitors must listen to the guide to avoid being attacked by the mentally ill, they accepted it.

“Lead the way.”

The gatekeeper disciple saw the acting sect leader leading people into the sect and did not stop them, letting them pass directly.

Vice Sect Leader Liu was very surprised, they entered the Seek Tao Sect so easily?

Lu Yang explained with a smile: “The disciples of the Seek Tao Sect often come to our place to eat barbecue. After a while, we became familiar with each other. I have things to do, they usually won’t give me a hard time.”

Vice Sect Leader Liu patted Lu Yang on the shoulder: “I didn’t expect you to get along so well with the people of the Seek Tao Sect. This is something many cultivators can’t do even if they go crazy. You did a great job. It’s a pity that your realm is too low now, otherwise I would definitely promote you no matter what!”

Lu Yang thought to himself, I can still be promoted, if I get promoted again, I will be the sect founder.

“Hmm? Wait, what is a sect founder? Isn’t it the founder of a sect? Since I resurrected the Immortal, giving the Immortal Sect a faith, it is the work of the sect founder!”

Lu Yang felt that it was reasonable and justified for him to be the sect founder, and he didn’t have to compete with the fake sect leader of the Immortal Sect.

The hierarchy of the Immortal Sect is now clear. The highest level is the Immortal, followed by Sect Founder Lu Yang, and then the small figures such as the sect leader and vice sect leader.

Considering that the Immortal is now a guest elder of the Seek Tao Sect and the temporary acting sect leader for three days, it is not unacceptable to regard the Immortal Sect as a branch of the Seek Tao Sect.

When Vice Sect Leader Liu and others arrived inside the Seek Tao Sect, they were very curious, but they dared not release their divine consciousness and could only observe with their eyes.

Along the way, they were frightened, fearing that they would be discovered by the people of the Seek Tao Sect. Fortunately, the worrying thing had already happened, and it was too late to worry now.

On the martial arts field, the first match of the Golden Elixir group had begun. Representing the Seek Tao Sect was Brother Luo Hai, who had once been challenged by the Immortal.

Brother Luo Hai was good at water attribute spells, and so was his opponent. The two fought, water waves collided, and the tide roared constantly. The battle was not like the Golden Elixir stage at all.

“Here we are, this is our base!” Lu Yang arrived at a barbecue restaurant, with a big sign that read “Come Again”.

This was a shop that Dai Bufan had arranged long ago. It had been managed by others before, and was temporarily handed over to Lu Yang and the others for use during the exchange event.

Man Gu was making a fire and barbecuing skewers, skilled in his movements. The large shop was sparsely populated.

At this time, other shops were just opening.

The competition between the Seek Tao Sect and the Five Elements Sect had four major groups. Only the Foundation Establishment group had been carried out so far. The other three major groups had a long battle time, with commendable tactics and strategies, and were more entertaining. This was the most attractive part of the exchange meeting.

So the shops chose to open for business now.

“Greetings to the Vice Sect Leader…” Man Gu put down his work and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Vice Sect Leader Liu.

“We are in a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den, keep it simple.”

“Yes, please have a seat.” Man Gu invited them to sit down.

“Where is Meng Jingzhou?” Lu Yang looked around but couldn’t find him.

“Oh, Brother Meng said he was going to check out other shops to see how their business is doing and whether we need to come up with countermeasures.”

Lu Yang frowned, just about to scold Meng Jingzhou for not doing his job. The success or failure of the Immortal Sect was at stake, how could he be distracted by trivial matters?

Vice Sect Leader Liu stopped Lu Yang: “Eh, don’t be angry. As the saying goes, if you’re going to put on a show, you have to do it all the way. Little Meng’s actions are in line with those of a barbecue shop employee, it’s understandable.”

Vice Sect Leader Liu continued: “But it’s always difficult to do things with one less person. Little Man, go find Meng Jingzhou and bring him back. You three are the most familiar with the Seek Tao Sect, let’s discuss together how to act.”

“Yes!” Man Gu scurried away from the barbecue shop.

Before leaving, Man Gu said, “Oh, Brother Lu, someone has pre-ordered our skewers. I’m almost done grilling them, remember to deliver them.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yang took over Man Gu’s task, continuing to grill skewers on the rack. His movements were skilled, like a veteran who had been doing this for thirty years.

Deputy Sect Leader Liu nodded in approval. Lu Yang’s technique was standard, not much different from what he had learned.

After the skewers were ready, Lu Yang said, “Please wait a moment, esteemed guests. I will deliver the food.”

“Hold on, where are you going? I can send someone to deliver it for you.” Deputy Sect Leader Liu stopped Lu Yang. If Lu Yang left, only the seven of them would be left in the barbecue shop.

Lu Yang pointed to the distant grandstand, “The big shots on the grandstand ordered it.”

Deputy Sect Leader Liu was speechless. The grandstand was occupied by the high-ranking members of the Seek Tao Sect and the Five Elements Sect, all of whom were at the Unity stage. If they went to deliver the food, their identities could easily be exposed.

“Go, go, hurry back!” Deputy Sect Leader Liu waved his hand.

Lu Yang picked up the food box and quickly walked out.

Not long after Lu Yang left, a pure and beautiful young girl noticed the place.

“Huh, ‘Come Again Barbecue Shop’, what an interesting name. You guys, business is here. Give me twenty lamb skewers. If they’re good, I’ll order more!”

It was Shangguan Yu.
