"I...I'll tell you."

Hearing Xiao Fan's threat, Sha Qing had no choice but to relent and spoke to Xiao Fan and Yun Yun. As for the punishment he would receive for betraying the sect, that was a matter for later. If he didn't speak up now, he probably wouldn't even be able to get past this hurdle.

"Speak, I naturally have ways to tell whether you are deceiving me."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Sha Qing immediately began to tell Xiao Fan and the other person what she knew.

"Well... actually, our sect has a strict hierarchy. Each elder is responsible for different matters. Apart from the elders in charge and the sect leader, even if others know about this plan, they are completely unaware of its specific details."

Sha Qing glanced up at Xiao Fan, noticing his calm expression, before continuing, "So, regarding what you just said about the plan to sacrifice the people, although I have some general information, I'm not the one in charge of this matter. I know nothing about it."

"Ok?"

Xiao Fan sat on the stone bench, glanced at Sha Qing after hearing his words, and then said indifferently, "So, according to you, it seems that keeping you around is of no use?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Qing noticed that the pressure on his body had increased significantly. The colorful toad that had been perched on his shoulder now looked listless.

Sensing that Xiao Fan's killing intent was genuine, Sha Qing abandoned any lingering hope. Although she didn't know which faction the mysterious expert before her came from, she knew that whoever dared to oppose the Izumo Empire and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would ultimately meet the same fate.

But right now, the most important thing is to ensure that I can stay alive.

"I... let me think about it..."

Sha Qing was afraid that Xiao Fan would immediately kill him, so he shouted at Xiao Fan before he started to think.

To rise to such a high position within the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Sha Qing must possess exceptional connections and intelligence. Although the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has a strict hierarchy and clear division of labor, as a senior member, Sha Qing naturally understands the sect's consistent approach to affairs.

Although he was not in charge of the sacrifice, he knew that many of the deacons and disciples in the sect were his people. Although he was not currently involved in the major affairs of the sect, he was not unfamiliar with them.

After pondering for a moment, Sha Qing suddenly remembered something he had dealt with the day before.

The sect gathered some of its forces in Tianrong City and headed to Zhanyun City on the border of the Chuyun Empire. Thinking of this, Sha Qing seemed to have grasped a lifeline and said to Xiao Fan and the other person, "I know, it must be in Zhanyun City!"

"Zhan Yuncheng?"

Upon hearing Sha Qing's words, Xiao Fan looked at Sha Qing curiously, since he wasn't familiar with her.

"That's right, it must be Zhan Yuncheng."

Without delay, Sha Qing continued to speak to Xiao Fan: "Zhan Yun City is located on the southwestern border of the Chu Yun Empire. It is extremely remote and not far from the Jia Ma Empire. In addition, there are no experts in Zhan Yun City at present. Therefore, if the sect wants to make a move, Zhan Yun City is definitely the most suitable place."

"Didn't you just say you didn't know? How come you immediately deduced that they were planning to target Zhan Yuncheng?"

Seeing that He Shaqing seemed quite certain, Xiao Fan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Besides, how do you know that there are definitely no strong individuals in Zhanyun City?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's question, Sha Qing hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Well, it's because I suddenly remembered many orders issued by the sect some time ago. Many stewards and disciples in the heart of the Chuyun Empire were transferred from their original locations for various reasons and gathered in the southwest direction."
