"Uh …" Li Yunjia wanted to explain, but he was interrupted again.
"Now that the Xuanji Sect is preparing to return to the North Island Alliance, I need you to contact the Shangguan Clan and the Blue Cloud Sect. After all, we had some misunderstandings before, and it's not convenient for me to show myself. As long as you can repair the relationship between the Xuanji Sect and the two clans, and help the Xuanji Sect return to the North Island Alliance, it'll be a great achievement for you!"
Li Yunjia said in a muffled tone, "For the sake of the sect, disciple will go through fire and water without hesitation! But Sect Master, this has nothing to do with disciple's original mission! No, disciple didn't have any mission at all!"
Hong Xuanlei sneered in his heart. You've already spilled the beans, and you're still trying to deny it? But, I still need you, the spy, to help me, so I'll let you go for now.
"Hahaha, fine, fine, whatever you say, it's all up to you now. Don't disappoint me! You can go now!" Hong Xuanlei let out a carefree laugh, then sent Li Yunjia away.
Li Yunjia walked out of the Xuanji Sect's encampment in a daze, then walked towards the Blue Cloud Sect with a sad face. He wasn't a spy, he didn't know anyone from the Blue Cloud Sect, let alone the Shangguan Clan.
Although the Blue Cloud Sect's status was slightly higher than the Xuanji Sect's, they were both from the North Island Alliance, so they should be easier to talk to than the Shangguan Clan. Therefore, Li Yunjia subconsciously walked towards the Blue Cloud Sect.
The disciple guarding the entrance of the Jadeon encampment saw Li Yunjia dressed in Xuanji Sect's uniform. Without waiting for him to come near, he shouted, "Halt, this is already Jadeon encampment, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to come near."
Li Yunjia quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Fellow disciples, I'm a disciple of the Xuanji Sect, and I'd like to see Sect Master Xin Yijie. Can you help me inform him of my arrival?"
"Sect Master Xin isn't here, please come back tomorrow." The disciple still didn't allow Li Yunjia to come closer, so he sent him away.
Li Yunjia tried his best to persuade Qing Yun Sect, but the disciples guarding Qing Yun Sect only said that Xin Yijie was not back yet and asked Li Yunjia to leave immediately. Li Yunjia had no choice but to leave Qing Yun Sect's encampment.
"Looks like Sect Leader Xin really didn't come back. There's no need for these Blue Cloud Sect Senior Brothers to lie to me. I'd better find something to eat first and wait for Sect Leader Xin to come back." Li Yunjia rubbed his stomach and muttered softly.
After being locked up as a spy for the past few days, no one had come to deliver food to Li Yunjia. At this moment, Li Yunjia was really starving. If it wasn't for his sect's mission, he would have gone to find something to eat when he came out.
Li Yunjia quickly arrived at an inn's dining hall. He picked an empty seat at the entrance and sat down. He casually ordered some food that could be served immediately and started wolfing down the food. At the same time, he had to pay attention to see if Xin Yijie would pass by the entrance.
"Have you heard? The Xuanji Sect was expelled by the Five Elemental Sect. What a shame! I've never seen anyone being expelled by a sect that relied on their sect before the Archaic Grand Meeting. I wonder how the Xuanji Sect offended the Five Elemental Sect!" A few cultivators who were sitting two tables away from Li Yunjia were chatting with each other. Li Yunjia was startled by their conversation.
"Is that so? I heard that the Xuanji Sect wants to return to the Shangguan Clan, it's because they were expelled by the Five Elemental Sect. What a shame! If I was the Shangguan Clan's Clan Chief, I would never accept a traitor like this. He went to the Five Elemental Sect for the sake of his reputation, but now that he's down on his luck, he wants to return to the Shangguan Clan.
"You're right! The Shangguan Clan's Clan Chief didn't accept the Xuanji Sect, and guess what happened next? The Xuanji Sect actually wanted to join the Cosmos Sect, but they were directly expelled!"
"That's not all! I heard that the Xuanji Sect wanted to join the Enlightening Heaven Faction, but the Enlightening Heaven Faction didn't want to bother with them at all! Now, the Xuanji Sect is just a joke in the Underworld of the Immemorial Ancient Era!"
The few cultivators sitting at the table were chatting with each other, and their voices weren't low. Not only Li Yunjia could hear them, everyone in the hall could hear them.
Li Yunjia was struck dumb. His mouth that was filled with food was wide open, and the food that he didn't swallow fell out from his mouth.
The Xuanji Sect was already in such a miserable state. It had only been a few days, but how did my sect end up like this? No wonder Sect Chief Hong asked me to repair my relationship with the Shangguan Clan and Blue Cloud Sect.
Li Yunjia really wanted the best for the Xuanji Sect. After learning about the Xuanji Sect's predicament, he was determined to complete the mission. No matter what, Li Yunjia was still a senior disciple in charge of the Xuanji Sect, and although he was nothing in front of Hong Xuanlei, the fact that he was chosen to participate in the Immemorial Grand Meeting already proved how outstanding he was.
"No, I don't have the time to sit here and eat. I need to find Sect Chief Xin as soon as possible, or else, the Xuanji Sect's situation will only get worse!" Li Yunjia spat out the food in his mouth and muttered to himself. After that, he quickly stood up and walked out of the hall. Ruin Town wasn't that big anyway, it wouldn't take too much time to run around.
Right after leaving the hall, Li Yunjia was pleasantly surprised to see Xin Yijie, the Blue Cloud Sect's Sect Chief, and Jin Weifeng were accompanying Lin Yi towards him. Li Yunjia wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
While Xin Yijie and Lin Yi were chatting casually, someone suddenly rushed towards them and knelt down. Xin Yijie was shocked.
Lin Yi had long since noticed that Li Yunjia was acting a little strange. However, Li Yunjia didn't have any hostility towards him, and his cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment Great Circle, so Lin Yi didn't pay any attention to Li Yunjia's actions.
It was only until Li Yunjia knelt down in front of him that Lin Yi gave him an indifferent glance, then turned his gaze away. Obviously, he didn't want to talk.
Xin Yijie let out a dry cough. Since Grandmaster Xin didn't want to talk, then he had to do it himself, "Who are you? What are you trying to do?"
Li Yunjia knelt on the ground and cried, "Sect Chief Xin, I'm a disciple in charge of the Xuanji Sect. I heard that our Xuanji Sect is in a difficult situation right now, so I hope Sect Chief Xin can put in a good word for us for the sake of the North Island Alliance, so that the Shangguan Clan can accept our Xuanji Sect again!"
Xin Yijie looked troubled. He was very angry at Hong Xuanlei, but his heart softened when he heard that the North Island Alliance was of the same lineage. At the end of the day, Xin Yijie was still a kind-hearted old man.
Jin Weifeng sneered when he saw that his master wasn't saying anything. "Now you're talking about the North Island Alliance? What were you doing before? It's not like my master didn't go to Hong Xuanlei, but what did Hong Xuanlei say? Since Hong Xuanlei is so capable, let him find a way to deal with it himself!"
