Inside a dark, deep cave of the Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave,

Ren Zhongshou sealed his hands, causing a mass of red flames to burn vigorously in front of him.

This bunch of red flames was about the size of a water barrel, burning without fuel or support.

However, just moments later, the flames burst forth, sending up strands of Fire Snakes.

These Fire Snakes eventually formed into a fiery humanoid figure.

Due to the characteristics of the flames, the facial features of the fiery humanoid were blurred, and its entire form was not very clear.

However, if Chu Xisheng were here at this moment, he would be astonished to recognize this person formed of flames, none other than Tianzhu Yun Tiange from the Supreme Profound Sect, who had repeatedly escaped from his blade.

This man frowned, his voice filled with dissatisfaction, “Ren Zhongshou, can’t you find another time to contact me? Jian Shifei has already grown suspicious of me.”

Hearing this, Ren Zhongshou let out a disdainful sneer, “Suspicious, so what? You’re just giving him a map you guys explored, not betraying them. Even if he were to notice, you would have plenty of excuses.”

He waved his hand dismissively, “Enough talk! Manifest the tunnel map you explored today. Also, I advise you not to fudge the details on the map — he spotted the four spikes you planted yesterday. If similar incidents occur again, we will terminate our cooperation, and you can forget about obtaining anything I’ve promised.”

Because of this, he was fined four thousand demon silvers yesterday.

A thousand per spike.

“Your promise? Hah, we are almost at the locations of the Time Trace Grass and the Stone Heart Blood; how much is your promise really worth?”

Yun Tiange gave a cold laugh.

Though his words carried a tinge of mockery, he still manipulated the flames to manifest a complex structural map of the cave.

The most valuable part of Ren Zhongshou’s promise wasn’t the Time Trace Grass or the Stone Heart Blood; it was to ensure his safety in a critical moment.

Yun Tiange despised Chu Xisheng to the bone and would seize any suitable opportunity to utterly destroy him.

But a true hero needs to understand the times, to have multiple tricks up his sleeve.

At the Fifth Grade, all talks of ‘talent’ and ‘potential’ are meaningless; only those who survive to the very end can hope to reach the First Grade in the future.

“This is the last map. Jian Shifei and his team are trying to track down the movements of Chu Ming and your group, which is why they explore daily. However, we should reach the ‘Divine Stone Pit’ today, and I speculate that Jian Shifei’s group will mostly lie in wait, no longer venturing out.”

At this moment, he paused, “I really wonder, why does Chu Xisheng want so many maps of the Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave? The first map I gave you could have already been used to calculate the location of the ‘Divine Stone Pit.’

The subsequent maps, on the other hand, might allow them to locate the ‘Divine Stone Pit’ more rapidly and accurately, but he still insists on new ones every day. To my knowledge, the Solitary Cloud and Twin Cranes of the Xuee family come from a lineage of geomancers. Although they may not match a true Array Master, their skills far surpass any mediocrity among us; you should have figured it out by now.”

“Speaking of which, I am also puzzled.”

Ren Zhongshou unconsciously stroked his chin, lost in thought, “He’s not just after your maps but also spends money on our explorations. Indeed, the Xuee couple had calculated the location of the Divine Stone Pit twenty days ago. Our geomancy is actually more precise; even though we’ve made stops along the way, we are only two days behind you—”

This issue with Chu Xisheng requesting maps did slightly unsettle Ren Zhongshou.

However, Chu Xisheng had threatened him with the hilt of a knife, and the money provided was quite sincere.

Yet, as time went on, Ren Zhongshou’s unease and even panic grew.

What exactly was Chu Xisheng doing?

He felt that continuing this business might lead to something undesirable happening.

Ren Zhongshou then shook his head.

In this secret realm, what could possibly happen that he wouldn’t want to see?

Was it Chu Xisheng alone obtaining the ‘Nine Curves Time Trace Grass’ and a large quantity of ‘Stone Heart Blood’? Or was it taking Chu Ming’s head?

Ren Zhongshou felt indifferent; now isolated and powerless, he wasn’t in a position to compete.

If Chu Xisheng could take Chu Ming’s head, Ren Zhongshou would actually be pleased, as it would mean that both of Formless Divine Sect’s ‘Vengeance Candidates’ had been destroyed.

At this thought, Ren Zhongshou’s eyes sharpened slightly, “I will try to figure out Chu Xisheng’s intentions. However, what puzzles me now is that, knowing Chu Xisheng has entered the third layer, you still dare to set up an ambush near the ‘Divine Stone Pit’?

Chu Xisheng defeated the Fifth Grade Upper Candle Dragon in 24 hours and entered the third layer secret realm, showcasing his formidable power. The question is, how much must your motley crew sacrifice to kill someone as invincible at the Fifth Grade as he is?”

He looked at Yun Tiange’s fiery avatar with speculative eyes, “Your reliance must be that traitor from the Formless Divine Sect, right? I really want to know who he is. Mr. Yun, if we can ascertain his identity, perhaps we could conspire over the Nine Curves Time Trace Grass.”

Yun Tiange, however, shook his head slightly, “Brother, you’ve asked the wrong person. How could I possibly know the identity of the traitor within Formless Divine Sect? However, several days ago, to set everyone’s minds at ease, Jian Shifei disclosed in our presence that the Star Mage had other arrangements.

Once launched, whether it’s Chu Ming or Chu Xisheng, both can be annihilated in one fell swoop. This arrangement mentioned by Jian Shifei might just be the traitor you speak of. Hmm? From your tone, Brother, you seem particularly wary of this person?”
