I am a living immortal.

"It can't be considered a complete disaster. I can only say that I've been so successful along the way that I lost my most basic vigilance, leading to all this. As for what I did, it must have been something earth-shattering."

"Look at this cave."

"I snatched it from the mastermind behind the scene when he had no time to deal with me." Su Mu laughed.

"This... you're so cruel." Lin Fu was stunned for a few seconds. A cave, such a thing was precious, needless to say. No wonder the other party resorted to such a desperate measure. Having his things stolen and being unable to fight back, he couldn't just swallow his anger. If it were him, he would probably have fought Su Mu to the death.

"About that war?" Lin Fu had a great enlightenment after that injury. It can only be said that it was a blessing in disguise. He took a step into the realm of Taoism. Naturally, he also had some understanding of that war.

"Part of the reason is that weakening the opponent is to strengthen oneself. The other part is simply because the opponent is too rich and can't help it. These innate gods have a very deep foundation. You have to know that they have nine caves like this!!"

Lin Fu was completely shocked: "Tell me, is there any possibility..."

"I guess it's difficult. The other party will be anxious now." Su Mu shook her head.

"That's such a pity. Next time you have such a good thing, remember to call me." Lin Fu's personality has changed since that incident, and he has seen through many things.

"Let's just get through this. The enemy isn't a simple force. Our caravan is having trouble moving north, and any news we send out has mysteriously disappeared. It seems the place is shrouded in silence, and we need someone to break it."

"Who do you plan to send?" Lin Fu felt that since the other party dared to intercept the message, they would not let anyone in to disrupt the situation, and this was true for both immortals and mortals.

"Of course, someone who is both powerful and not so conspicuous."

"This probing seems to have caused the other party to react, but it also revealed the tip of the iceberg of their control, which is truly shocking. Officially, all local officials, from the governor and prefect down to the county magistrate and county magistrate, from the second rank officials to the ninth rank officials, are involved. It's simply impregnable. And this is just on the surface. Behind the scenes, Prince Cheng and Prince Yu have also made some moves. A deeper investigation has even revealed traces of evil activities."

"What do they want to do? To usurp the throne? But I remember that the emperor of the Yan Dynasty seemed to hold the military power in his hands. He had accumulated power in the court for a long time, and the people also called him wise." Lin Fu didn't understand.

"I do know a little. Prince Cheng, a name from a very old time, I wonder if you have heard of it. A fragment of the immortal book fell into the Yan Dynasty and was later obtained by Prince Cheng."

"Are you talking about 'The Three Officials Blessings'? That was a really big deal. That scroll isn't supposed to be a fairy book, but rather a divine text. Several powerful individuals were fighting for it, and the spectacle was unmissable. I even got a glimpse of it from afar."

"In the end, no one got what they wanted. It was torn into pieces and scattered everywhere. I didn't expect Yan Chao to have it too. It's not a good thing. No, if it were complete, it would definitely be a good thing. Unfortunately, what use can the fragments be?"

"Haha, you don't understand this. Mortals are more intelligent than you might imagine, and they're also very persistent. Who knows, maybe they'll figure out something with this fragment?"

"This..." It's undeniable that Su Mu was right. Many disasters weren't actually caused by gods, demons, or monsters, so knowing that wasn't the real reason.

On the contrary, it's the half-baked discoveries of mortals that can shock the world. He'd seen one, using half a Qi-drawing technique to devour the spiritual energy of an entire state. Logically, even immortals have a limit. However, those mortals were overly imaginative. They used some mysterious technique to stitch hundreds of people together, and then completely lost control. From a hundred to a thousand, from a thousand to ten thousand, to a hundred thousand, finally creating a monster: a flesh ball with hundreds of thousands of faces. It was this flesh ball that drained the spiritual energy of an entire state.

In the end, an initiate was able to defeat it, but it wasn't easy. The reason for their ultimate defeat was that even if they drained the entire state's spiritual energy, the monster wouldn't be able to use it, and they ultimately suffered a loss before being able to defeat it.

This is even more evil than evil. Mortals are not as weak as they appear. As for the person who created this monster, when the monster lost control, he became part of it.

Therefore, Lin Fu believed that these mortals could make a big move with the help of the torn pages.

At this thought, Lin Fu had an idea: "You mean, they are so desperate to stop the caravan and seize the lifeline of food. It's one thing, but it's also possible that they have created something shocking with the help of that scroll, and they are so desperate to avoid being discovered."

"It's very likely. After all, it's just a matter of giving away their food supply. Such a small share can't shake their dominant position at all. They still need to control it. There's no need to be so... agitated."

"So, is the person you sent reliable? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

Everyone in Fuling Sect is a homebody who never steps out of the house.

"No need. Immortal cultivators all possess spiritual energy, making them too conspicuous. They'd likely be discovered if they entered the north." Although Su Mu didn't know what the other party had figured out with that fragment of paper, she could still discern it. Besides, there were likely other people behind these people, so letting an immortal cultivator through would be too conspicuous.

"My people are absolutely secretive, and their strength is not important. He can just go there and coordinate."

Lin Fu fell silent. How many people did Su Mu leave behind in Yan Dynasty? But he didn't ask. He recognized Su Mu's strength, and there was no need to delve into it.

"Then I wish you success." After Lin Fu finished speaking, ripples appeared in the water mirror, and then he disappeared into the mirror.

Su Mu waved her hand, and the water mirror evaporated completely.

The old goat came behind Su Mu.

"This time, I really need your help. I need someone who is active in the Yan Dynasty but not involved in the court or the immortals. He must also have a certain level of talent and knowledge. It is really not easy to rashly find such a person."

"I think he'd be happy to help. And Yan Chao's strength has been growing over the years. I was really shocked when I first saw him. With him in control, we'll definitely uncover all the flaws of those people this time."

"He is my friend after all." The old goat affirmed it and said this to Su Mu.
