Chapter 816: Chapter 144 Urbanization Progress (3/3)

Regarding Mou Yunying’s words, Zuo Tiannan was quite puzzled: "Could it be that the higher-ups think An Jing is from Da Chen and doesn’t share the same goals as us in Dust Li?"

"But his background is perfectly clean. Da Chen isn’t stupid enough to plant someone of Heaven’s Chosen caliber in our Bright Mirror Sect as a spy. Even if he were a spy, by learning our cultivation techniques and heritage, even if our sect gets destroyed, they could still pass on the legacy."

"Pah, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re even more outrageous than Master Mi." Mou Yunying retorted angrily: "He merely said, considering the sect’s situation, we should be prepared to run away in a form of decentralized retreat. This is evident from the history of the eight hundred middle gates; a sect like ours that has peaked but hasn’t become an upper sect is bound to have a disastrous decline."

"Just like the records from the Ancient Dao Court era, when immortals reached the peak of sublimation and couldn’t break through again, they would simply die of old age... This is an inevitable historical trend that only someone with a divine mandate like Brother An can reverse!"

"Your words are no better than mine. Going around saying things like ’peak of sublimation then death by old age,’ see if Master Uncle won’t give you a beating."

Zuo Tiannan was speechless. Mou Yunying always had the knack for seriously saying ominous things, while at least he was joking: "So what’s actually going on?"

Mou Yunying then shared the information he had received: "According to Master and Grandmaster, An Jing’s identity in the Tianyi Demon Sect is highly unusual."

"Do you know Bai Qinghan?"

Upon hearing a name very familiar to An Jing, Zuo Tiannan also nodded: "I know, the new Holy Maiden of Xuanyin. She’s the goddess that the Northern Patrol Envoy has always been with and has fought several fierce battles with Da Chen around the Western Mountain and Western Sea, creating quite a reputation. She even established a base deep in the Western Mountain, seizing significant territory originally held by the Western Patrol Envoy."

"Though by local reputation, her governance is much better than the previous Western Patrol Envoy’s; locals call her the reincarnated Living Bodhisattva, a genuine celestial maiden saving the world, with fanatical devotion."

"Bai Qinghan’s various actions are possibly connected to An Jing."

Mou Yunying’s eyes shone, his golden-orange pupils narrowing slightly: "Based on the intelligence I received, the young girl suspected to be Bai Qinghan once had prolonged contact and collaboration with An Jing around Broken Blade Peak. This isn’t just hearsay; many former Linjiang City residents, now in the Sky Sword Mountain Range, have confirmed that a girl in white, with white hair, had a connection with An Jing."

"I’ve been paying attention to this because I once suspected she was a lost member of my clan, but later found out it might be due to cultivation techniques."

"Not every white-haired person is from your clan, Brother Miu." Zuo Tiannan teased: "Stop worrying about your clansmen every day. Even our forefather, Lord Cheng Guang, doesn’t know where you came from. It’s unlikely you’ll find your clansmen in the northern part of North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent."

"I have to try."

Mou Yunying sighed deeply: "In any case, Master Uncle and Grandmaster probably suspect An Jing hasn’t truly left the Tianyi Demon Sect."

"Everyone knows it’s extremely rare for anyone to genuinely leave the Tianyi Demon Sect... Although Master Uncle Mingguang Dust was also from the Demon Sect, the True Demon Sect is different; those who leave there harbor deep resentment and seek revenge, whereas the Tianyi Demon Sect’s ties are hard to sever."

At this point, Mou Yunying quickly added: "I’m not doubting An Jing; he clearly isn’t that kind of person. I truly believe he has no ties with the Tianyi Demon Sect. Otherwise, with his capabilities, he would have joined the upper gate as a Divine Son long ago. Why would he be here in a middle gate, suffering suspicion?"

"We don’t suspect him. I’m sincerely grateful we have someone with a divine mandate."

Zuo Tiannan shook his head: "We’re the juniors; what’s there to suspect...? Wait, there’s a demon!"

"Hm."

On the other side, Mou Yunying also sensed the sudden emergence of demonic qi in the surroundings. He raised his hand to command the Shihui Peak squad into formation: "Prepare for battle!"

Meanwhile.

With the ’Xi Yin Drone’ locking onto the two key targets An Jing was focusing on, Zuo Tiannan and Mou Yunying’s squads came under his watchful eye.

For them, eradicating the demonized tree-men was incredibly easy and simple. The demonized tree-men that Zuo Tiannan’s side encountered were quite formidable; dozens of tree-men had quietly hidden, planning to lay down a formation to encircle, but Zuo Tiannan’s squad excelled in escape techniques, easily countering the ’Wood Spirit Binding Formation.’ They broke through the encirclement and turned back to surround and start hunting down those tree-men.

On Mou Yunying’s side, they also faced an ambush, but the eight-member team combined their Arts of Magic, reflecting light with mirrors, gathering light to ignite flames. A semi-transparent elixir fire swept through, crushing these tree-men head-on.

However, just as An Jing was dissatisfied with, the most challenging part of fighting demonized tree-men was the chase—once they realized their ambush had failed, these tree-men all uprooted and fled quickly, leaving both squads unsure which direction to pursue.

Additionally, on either side, there seemed to be traces of deep, pervasive demonic qi, as if the dark forest had turned into a nest for demons.

Zuo Tiannan was fine; his brilliant escape techniques allowed him to deal with all the tree-men before they could flee.

"Interesting."

Seeing this, Mou Yunying found himself intrigued: "In this scenario where the enemy has the intelligence advantage, how should we act? Is An Jing actually trying to observe this about us?"

"Indeed interesting, and there might be martial meridian demons involved... time to show some skill."

With a wave of his hand, nine elixirs were scattered by Mou Yunying. The inner sect disciples from Shihui Peak also each took out an elixir, each different, exuding an aura reflecting their owners, dispersing power that faintly built the framework of their Art of Magic, resonating with their body’s acupoints, almost projecting a shadow similar to themselves!

Shihui Peak’s True Transmission ’Dan Reflection True Method’!

Refining elixirs as reflecting oneself, using the elixir as a mirror!

"Go!"

Each different elixir shadow flew in a different direction, choosing just one direction? Mou Yunying wanted them all!

"Interesting, the Bright Mirror Sect’s heritage is rich indeed."

Seeing this, An Jing couldn’t help but be impressed—even within the same sect, the core philosophy of ’reflecting to seek truth, my heart as a mirror’ revealed varied legacies and methods from each peak!

In actual combat, these individuals might not ultimately defeat him, but what is the essence of martial arts if not mere victory? Continuous learning, absorbing nutrients, self-growth—that’s the key to martial arts training!

As for his own squad...they too had encountered demonized tree-men.

Raising his head, An Jing had yet to make a move when Gu Yeqi’s Mingguang Peak squad had already dealt with the enemy, and the demonized tree-men had equally fled.

But they did not give chase.

Under Gu Yeqi’s command, the Seven Heroes of Dust from Mingguang Peak quickly erected a tower fortress on the spot!

Soon, a stone tower arose out of thin air, with a faint brightness emanating from its top, monitoring the surrounding demonic movements!

An Jing was the challenged, the judge, his squad naturally had no concern for speed, prioritizing safety above all!

Safety meant fortifying every step of the way, erecting towers wherever they passed, urbanizing the entire area!

He wanted to see what tricks the Heavenly Demon would play!

Time passed.

As they were all clearing the demonized tree-men around Mingguang Peak.

Having planted the fourth tower, Gu Yeqi’s expression shifted. Turning to An Jing, he signaled with his eyes: "Eldest Senior, someone has infiltrated Mingguang Peak!"

"Hmm."

An Jing nodded slightly, also sensing it: "Do you know from where they infiltrated?"

"Yes."

"Next time, strengthen the defenses in those areas." An Jing said calmly, not remotely anxious about the infiltration of Mingguang Peak. Because this was precisely what he wanted.

"Subdue Evil!"

In the Divine Sea, An Jing called out: "Have you recorded the demonic qi characteristics of these people?"

"Recorded!"

Subdue Evil replied confidently: "Rest assured, I’ve got this!"

Though Subdue Evil was overly sensitive, detecting demonic qi on everyone, this could actually be utilized.

As Subdue Evil said, in its view, every strand of demonic qi was distinct and identifiable. Thus, it was an excellent way to distinguish and identify individuals!

Everyone carried some demonic qi, each amounting to a unique identifier—once Subdue Evil remembered the demonic qi, comparing it with the deep supernatural demonic qi from the True Transmission of the Seven Peaks would naturally reveal who was behind the schemes!

Mingguang Peak.

Four mysterious forces had infiltrated Mingguang Peak.

First thing, they noticed each other.
