Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Seeing Again

First, the spiritual objects only have the pill guide, which required a lot of value, thus money was needed. Moreover, he had not yet received the Foundation Building Pill.

Second, apart from these, what was more certain was that he had just made such big news, then today, he was inexplicably sent back, as if nothing had happened.

However, precisely because of this, Wang Zijia dared not mess around. He was sure that a background investigation into him was rapidly underway.

During this time, the number of people watching him would not be reduced.

There were such departments even in his ordinary mortal world in his previous life, let alone in such an extraordinary world today.

Under such circumstances, he did not intend to recklessly attempt a breakthrough.

······

Wang Zijia kept pondering, thinking about what else he needed to prepare before his breakthrough.

The time unknowingly reached late at night.

Suddenly, the Five Ghosts quietly appeared, and the entirely body of Wang Zijia, who was entering tranquility, tensed subconsciously.

In the cultivation room, not far from Wang Zijia, numerous runes emerged out of the void and quickly formed a crude rune sword.

Watching this familiar scene, Wang Zijia slightly relaxed.

After the rune sword appeared, centered around it, a phantom image emerged. This time, the other party did not flaunt any postures, but carefully sized up Wang Zijia.

"Ah!" After a while, Du Kang, the phantom image, sighed knowingly, glanced at the smoke formations flickering around Wang Zijia. He could not figure out what they really were.

"You left and came back with the status of a predestined Dao Seed. It makes my years seemed like I was living in a dog’s body."

His tone was less arrogant than before, more of the ease experienced when old acquaintances meet again. After all, when he first met Wang Zijia, he had just accomplished a breakthrough in the sacrificial wine stage, subconsciously regarding Wang Zijia as a peer in his mind.

Wang Zijia saluted him and said, "Martial Uncle Du is joking."

"Joking? Do you know what the Dao Seed of the sect represents? It represents that if there are no accidents, entering the Perfected Realm is a certainty." Du Kang chatted with ease, likely because of the roots of the Hidden Faction and their previous encounters.

"Why did Martial Uncle come here in the middle of the night? Is there anything you wish to inquire about?" Wang Zijia shifted the topic, not fussing about it anymore.

"Right, I almost forgot the main point." Du Kang regained his senses, and said solemnly: "What’s this about the undercover member of the Bone Soul Sect?"

Wang Zijia’s mind raced, asking in return: "Martial Uncle, have you already captured that covert child?"

"So the intel about the covert child of the Beast Control Vein really came from you?" Du Kang affirmed skeptically, once again using a declarative sentence.

"Yes!" Wang Zijia succinctly replied.

"Then, what about Number Nine Ding? "Du Kang looked at Wang Zijia and questioned seriously: "You better make it clear. Today, a comprehensive background investigation is being conducted on you. I am one of the key persons being questioned. If you don’t satisfy me, this matter is not over."

"There’s nothing legendary about it, they wanted to implant a covert child under my identity, not knowing of my real situation, leading to them getting counter-killed by me. After that—"

’Even if they knew your real situation, they wouldn’t believe it!’ Du Kang listened to Wang Zijia’s account, his heart couldn’t help but recall his first impressions of seeing Wang Zijia’s information.

"That’s it, due to fortuitous circumstances, I leveraged my relationship with the Xiang family, came into contact with the Hidden Faction, became an unpositioned peripheral member, and Martial Uncle Du, you already know about what happened afterward."

Wang Zijia slightly altered his experiences and summarised it.

Upon hearing this, Du Kang furrowed his brows.

"If Martial Uncle isn’t assured, when facing the inspection team, speak directly about my situation. As for my real identity, I’m not afraid to undergo the Law Hall or Inquiry Hall." Upon seeing his reaction, Wang Zijia responded indifferently.

"Since you can get in touch with the elders of the Hidden Faction, I’m not very skeptical about your identity. I’m worried that your actions here would alert those covert children." Du Kang voiced out his concerns with a frown.

"Martial Uncle, have you been catching people massively these half a month?" Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia asked incredulously.

"Hmm, I only gained control over the disciple of the Beast Control Vein and am gradually unearthing their network." Du Kang said solemnly, "I found that this matter involves no small issues."

’More than just no small issues, I’m afraid that if you really dig out something, you wouldn’t be able to handle it by yourself. Who knows when you’ll suddenly disappear, maybe like a Great Cultivator falling into the water and drowning?’

Wang Zijia hesitated and questioned, "Why didn’t Martial Uncle report it to the Law Hall?"

"Let’s probe further and gather more information, it would be more convenient when the Law Hall takes action then." Du Kang replied.

Wang Zijia: "······"

Was this greed for fame?

"Can you get in touch with the elders of the Hidden Faction or not? " After a moment of hesitation, Du Kang inquired.

Huh?

It turned out it wasn’t greed for fame, he was worried about not delivering the information to the right person!

Wang Zijia shrugs, helpless, saying, "I am only involved with the Hidden Faction by obtaining the inheritance of the Xiang family due to my talent, I’ve learned some of its secrets and obtained a contact channel. The real people of the Hidden Faction, I’ve only seen you, Martial Uncle. I’m at most considered an outer disciple of the Hidden Faction."

’I’m outer as well alright! Even though I have been promoted now, Elder Li never again came out to assign me a position or something!’ Du Kang was speechless about it.

"Alright then, do you know who else knows about you? The mess you’ve created this time is not small, by tomorrow, people in a certain circle should already know about your existence."

"If the covert children who know about you see the change in your status, they will definitely know something is wrong. I’m afraid of alarming the snake in the grass." Du Kang voiced out his concerns.

Wang Zijia pondered for a moment before affirming, "The two I provided last time, are likely the only ones who would notice me. As long as Martial Uncle controls them well, nobody on the covert children’s side should notice me."

"Alright, you be careful yourself. I’m going to get busy." Du Kang nodded, was about to leave, paused, and seemed to have remembered something. So, he instructed:

"By the way, behave yourself these few days. The group of fellas at the entrance of the Inspection Hall of the Law Hall is hard to deal with. Once they find a problem after reviewing, you will need to keep an eye on your back."

"Understood, I’ll be well-behaved during this period." Wang Zijia immediately replied.

"Then alright, I will be leaving first. I hope the next time we meet, you have already advanced to the stage of the sacrificial wine!"

Wang Zijia respectfully saluted and said, "Farewell Martial Uncle!"

Du Kang’s figure disintegrated and dissolved into spiritual light that filled the sky.

Wang Zijia, however, knitted his brows, contemplating how to handle the spy from the sect. Judging from the current situation, this issue at least involved a Great Cultivator of the Perfected Realm, not something Du Kang could resolve alone.
