“That guy in the palace rarely makes a move, and he’s in a forbidden area. It’s unlikely to be him. Could it be Yun Zhi from the Seek Tao Sect?”

“That’s not right either. My avatar is hidden near the Immortal, and the Immortal Sect has always been cautious. How could they be caught off guard?”

“Could it be that the Immortal has awakened his conscience, repented, and voluntarily surrendered to the Great Xia Dynasty or the Seek Tao Sect, seeking leniency?”

Speaking of those few people in the Central Continent, the dark figure felt a headache.

Ever since the end of the ancient times, he had been planning things. Everything was well planned, and there shouldn’t be any problems.

The eras of Great Qian and Great Yu did not exceed his plans. He claimed that there would be opportunities for immortality in the future, letting people sleep and wake up during the Great World War, causing confusion.

However, during the Great Xia Dynasty, one after another, figures beyond his plan appeared, and immortals emerged.

Immortals were no longer pawns, but chess players of equal status with him. This forced him to revise his plans multiple times.

“Especially that Yun Zhi, so young, with unparalleled talent.”

“Sir, who is this Yun Zhi…” The attendant recalled the influential figures of the Central Continent, but there was no one named Yun Zhi among those who could influence the continent’s direction.

The lord rarely praised people so lavishly. How astonishing must Yun Zhi’s talent be?

The dark figure sneered, “She’s just a little girl from the Seek Tao Sect. A hundred years ago, when I went to the Central Continent, she personally came out to greet me. She enthusiastically asked where I was from. I didn’t bother to answer her, and she didn’t say anything.”

“Afterwards, I saw that she had some skills, so I sparred with her and gave her some pointers. After the spar, I wanted to leave, but she insisted on following me, asking for more guidance. I thought that the relationship between cultivators should be as calm as water, so there was no need to insist. It would be best if our fate ended there. Too much guidance might affect her path.”

“I used a teleportation technique to leave directly, not wanting to get entangled with her.”

“Sir, your cultivation is unparalleled in all ages.” The attendant praised, causing the dark figure to burst into laughter.

The attendant felt relieved. Being involved in the Great World War, a slight carelessness could lead to an irreversible situation. It was safer to follow the lord.

The lord’s cultivation was unparalleled, and he could calculate for all ages. He would surely have the upper hand in the Great World War. Following behind the lord and getting some benefits would be enough for a happy life. If he was luckier, he might even become an immortal.

The dark figure thought of his experience of sparring with Yun Zhi a hundred years ago and felt embarrassed.

Of course, he couldn’t say that he took the initiative to make a move because he saw that the little girl was young, and then he was beaten and had to flee in disgrace. He had lived for countless years, yet he was defeated by a child and forced to run away. It was a disgrace.

He couldn’t say these things to his subordinates. It would damage his prestige.

The dark figure thought of the events a hundred years ago. He just wanted to go to the Immortal Sect to see how far he was from forming the Dao Fruit. Before he could reach the Immortal Sect’s lair, he was spotted by Yun Zhi, and a great battle ensued.

Thinking of Yun Zhi’s displayed strength, the dark figure felt that Yun Zhi could be called the number one person in the Central Continent and the biggest obstacle in the Great World War.

So since then, he has only sent avatars to the Central Continent to avoid being caught. “Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty is favored by destiny?”

The concept of destiny is elusive. To become an immortal, one needs not only talent and strength but also luck.

For example, the Tribulation Period cultivator who learned to speak the law at will could have become an immortal, but he was unlucky and encountered Huang Doudou and died halfway.

The dark figure thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with an answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

“Never mind, I won’t think about these things. Since my avatar has been killed, it means that the matter of the Immortal Dao Fruit has been discovered by others. The people of the Central Continent will be alert to immortals entering the continent. If they are discovered, it will cause unnecessary trouble. I won’t go to the Central Continent for a short time. When the Immortal Dao Fruit is close to maturity, I will take action to pick it!”

“If I can get the Immortal Dao Fruit, I will have the upper hand in the Great World War!”

“It’s just a pity for the Immortal Maiden. She is destined not to be able to resurrect. Who made her hold the Immortal Dao Fruit? If she doesn’t die, no one can get the Immortal Dao Fruit.”

“I really didn’t expect it back then. The one who could produce the Immortal Dao Fruit was her. It’s enviable…” The dark figure gradually moved away, his voice disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones.

“How should we deal with the Immortal Sect?”

Lu Yang raised a question. The purpose of this trip had been achieved. They found the headquarters of the Immortal Sect, captured the Immortal, and even forced the mastermind behind the scenes to self-destruct one of his avatars.

Now there was only one question left – how to deal with the Immortal Sect.

Would rashly dealing with the Immortal Sect startle the snake in the grass and alert the mastermind behind the scenes? Could they use the Immortal Sect to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes?Yun Zhi looked at Lu Yang in surprise, not understanding why he would ask such a question. “Of course, we should report it.”

“Huh?”

“With so many people, even if we, the Seek Tao Sect, captured them, we wouldn’t be able to interrogate them all. It’s better to let the Great Xia Dynasty handle it.” Lu Yang almost blurted out, “Does our Seek Tao Sect even have such formal procedures?”

In Lu Yang’s impression, torture, coercion, infiltration into the demonic sect, and becoming the champion in the demonic sect’s competition, weren’t these all things that the Seek Tao Sect did?

Oh right, half of those were done by me.

“When should we report it?” Lu Yang was eager to try. The feeling of taking down a large hideout was quite exhilarating.

Yun Zhi thought for a moment: “Four days ago?”

“What?”

Yun Zhi explained: “Four days ago, right after we entered the headquarters, I left my body and went to the Great Xia Dynasty to report. The reason we didn’t take action was because we wanted to wait until all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators gathered before we cast the net.”

“Of course, the Immortal Being was an unexpected gain, something I didn’t anticipate.”

The Immortal Being felt like he was just idling around, insisting on doing something like body snatching. As long as he didn’t come out voluntarily, even if the entire Immortal Sect was destroyed, the Great Xia Dynasty wouldn’t be able to find him.

Yun Zhi turned her gaze to the Immortal Being: “As for you…”

The Immortal Being quickly said: “My body snatching attempt failed, which can be likened to attempted murder, it’s not a capital offense!”

“I’ve always abided by the law, I’ve never done anything illegal. Look, even the statue is reading the criminal law.” Lu Yang looked and sure enough, the statue of the Immortal Being was holding the criminal law.

The sect leader acted quickly, the statue of the Immortal Being had already been changed to hold the criminal law, encouraging the followers to study the law.

“Moreover, my soul only became complete the moment I received my name. From the moment I received my name to now, only five days have passed. I’m only five days old, still a baby. According to the Great Xia criminal law, I’m considered underage and not criminally responsible, not subject to criminal punishment.”

“I’m still a baby, please show mercy and spare me!”

Lu Yang stared at the Immortal Being’s old face that was about to be buried, feeling that the name was not wrongly given. You can actually say such shameless words?

Some people die, but they are not completely dead…
