The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

After watching the disciples of the Enforcement Hall seal Ye Feng's cultivation and take him away, the elders all left.

Before Su Qi left, Jiang Ying gave him a wink.

Su Qi pretended not to see and followed Ruo Bingli back to Bamboo Peak.

I made an excuse to go back to my room, and after waiting for a few minutes, a scroll appeared before my eyes.

This is from Jiang Ying's place.

He had a feeling before that the elders of Qingyun Sect were not simple, so he wanted to try using the scroll to see if he could obtain information about them.

However, his current status is somewhat awkward, making it difficult for him to contact other elders, so he can only ask Jiang Ying for help.

Upon opening the scroll, the first line revealed a sentence that was unusual.

[Hahaha...I'm amazing, aren't I! With just a slight move, I made the Chosen One suffer a huge loss. Let's see who dares to say I'm brainless now!]

Okay, ignore that idiot's comment and keep reading.

My name is Gu Yuefei. On the surface, I am the Second Elder of the Qingyun Sect, but in reality, I am a demonic spy infiltrating the righteous path of the Eastern Region.

Wow, that's a winning hand right from the start!

Su Qi perked up and continued reading.

[An elder of my demon race accidentally obtained a fragment of a secret technique that can be used to create a puppet called the Heavenly Demon Blood Corpse. The elder wishes to use these puppets to form a large army, thereby reducing casualties among our demon warriors, but alas, the technique is incomplete.]

After some investigation, we discovered that this secret technique was actually related to the Qingyun Sect in the Eastern Region. The elders suspected that the Qingyun Sect held the inheritance of the Supreme Heavenly Demon. Therefore, in order to obtain the complete secret technique and for the sake of this inheritance, the elders sent me out to secretly investigate within the Qingyun Sect.

After investigating for so many years, I've finally found a clue: it seems that our clan's supreme demon is sealed away in the forbidden area behind the Qingyun Sect.

[I have already sent the message back. Soon, the clan will send someone to try and rescue our clan's powerful leader.]

Su Qi: ...

I don't know what to say anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, the supreme demon that Gu Yuefei thought she knew was probably the true form of Jiang Ying, that idiot.

Jiang Ying might be behind this, trying to use the power of the demon race to open the sealed world.

If you continue reading, you'll find Gu Yuefei's rather boring life story.

It mentions that the reason this woman came to infiltrate was not only because of the elder's orders, but also because she wanted to hide from a certain demon saintess with an abnormal sexual orientation who wanted to harass her all the time.

Let's observe two seconds of silence for the poor Second Elder.

Su Qi looked at the next person.

[My name is Tie Kun. No, I should say that the previous owner of this body was Tie Kun, and I have possessed him. My original name was Xu Fu, a cultivator with extremely poor aptitude who only managed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in his entire life.]

[But as I was about to die of old age, I encountered that great man. He was researching a secret technique for possession, which would allow those with poor aptitude to separate their souls from their bodies and possess bodies with better talent, without having to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.]

I don't want to die, and I want to pursue the supreme path, so I willingly became the adults' guinea pig.

The following content is Xu Fu's own account of how painful the experimental process was and how he persevered.

Then came the crucial moment: just as he and that esteemed person had successfully completed their experiment, the righteous cultivators arrived.

The man abandoned him and ran away.

The laboratory was destroyed, and Xu Fu died, but not completely.

He became a wandering ghost trapped in the laboratory, and out of boredom, he could only try to continue to improve this body-snatching technique based on his memories.

Until one day, a monk was being chased and broke into the laboratory, whereupon he found an opportunity to possess the monk using a secret technique.

In the years that followed, Xu Fu possessed countless people, but none of them possessed the talents he desired.

Then, now, he has possessed the body of the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sect and impersonated him.

Then, he set his sights on Ye Feng, who had exceptional talent, intending to take him as a disciple and train him before attempting to possess his body. However, Yue Chongshan intervened and took Ye Feng as a disciple first.

However, he still didn't give up and was still coveting Ye Feng's body.

Tsk tsk tsk... He really is an ambitious person.

Su Qi sighed, knowing that he was destined to fail, but still cheered for the old man.

At the same time, he was also glad that he hadn't followed Ye Feng's example and climbed through the long ranks of the qualification test when he took the introductory test, otherwise he would have been the one being targeted.

Below him was the old-fashioned Third Elder.

Wow... this old man is actually a spy planted by the Ten Thousand Saints Sect.

But that's not the point. The point is what this old man did for the Ten Thousand Saints Sect.

The frequent disappearances of Qingyun Sect disciples were actually due to this old man.

The sect leader and the supreme elder of the Wansheng Sect are actually the owners of the underground black market in the Eastern Region!

Those disciples of the Qingyun Sect who went missing while on training were all kidnapped by them through collusion with insiders and sent to the black market to be auctioned off as furnaces.

This incident reminded Su Qi of his own family. The Yunmiao Immortal Sect also frequently had disciples disappear while going out for training. Could there be spies from the Wansheng Sect among them?

Su Qi sensed that Ruo Bingli wasn't watching him, and quickly took out his communication jade to send a message to Du Yunyi.

Tsk tsk tsk... Who would have thought that the seemingly rigid and upright Third Elder would actually be this kind of person?

It's true that you can know a person's face but not their heart.

Next is Elder Lin Xiao, Mu Yunxian's ex-husband, whose identity is not as complicated as the others.

He was merely a half-demon, a combination of a human and a beast.

I just want to hide myself and live in human society.

After reading this, Su Qi thought it was over, but unexpectedly, another person's information popped up.

My name is Yue Chongshan...

Wow, it's actually Lao Yue.

Su Qi perked up and continued reading.

Old Yue's life story... was quite ordinary.

He was taken in as a disciple by the former Supreme Elder of Qingyun Sect and diligently cultivated with the goal of becoming the sect leader. However, he did not expect that his senior brother, who had joined the sect a few days earlier, was superior to him in every way.

In the end, Old Yue tragically failed to become the sect leader, which made him despondent. He spent his days in brothels, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Then, in Pingnan City, he met a member of the Li family from Zhongzhou.

Now, here comes the main event.

The reason why the Li family of Zhongzhou took action against the Ye family was actually because of Ye Feng's mother.

The mother of this chosen one was actually a divine herb in human form, and also the saintess that the tree demon clan had been searching for.

The massacre in Pingnan City was merely a cover-up; the Li family's true purpose was to secretly kidnap Ye Feng's mother amidst the chaos. They used the massacre to conceal their activities from the tree spirit clan, who happened to be nearby at the time.

At that time, although the Li clan of Zhongzhou was powerful, the Eastern Region was far from the emperor's reach. Seeing that the tree demon clan was about to find Ye Feng's mother, the Li family members could not gather the strength to carry out the plan for a while, and were extremely anxious.

At this time, he happened to meet Yue Chongshan, and the two hit it off immediately. He helped Yue Chongshan kill the Supreme Elder and the previous sect leader of Qingyun Sect, and Yue Chongshan used his own people to help him carry out the massacre to cover up the truth.

Uh……

After reading everything, Su Qi felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

What a coincidence! The tree demon clan, the Li family, and Yue Chongshan all happened to be in Pingnan City at this time.

I always felt like there was a giant hand leading them, deliberately making them bump into each other, and then secretly orchestrating this Pingnan Rebellion.
