Chapter 112

"Elder Qiu, when do we leave?" Zhan Chen asked.

Qiu Wuya chuckled and said, "No rush, no rush. We'll talk after you've recovered."

Zhan Chen nodded in agreement.

With the help of Qiu Wuya's healing pills, Zhan Chen had fully recovered after ten days. He hurriedly rushed towards the Misty Wind Sect with the Great Elder of the Misty Wind Sect.

Before entering the Misty Wind Sect, Qiu Wuya gave Zhan Chen a black cloak and said, "When you enter the sect later, put this on."

Zhan Chen couldn't help but be puzzled, "Why is it so mysterious?" But he still followed Qiu Wuya's instructions and put on the cloak. This way, others wouldn't be able to see his appearance clearly.

Qiu Wuya then led him up the mountain. After many twists and turns, they walked for a long distance and arrived at the peak of a tall mountain. The spiritual energy there was abnormally dense, even forming spiritual fog and spiritual rain. An exquisite nine-story pavilion was embedded in the depths of the dense clouds. It was surrounded by countless spiritual trees and spiritual flowers. The scenery was like a fairyland.

Zhan Chen raised his head and saw a large plaque hanging on the lintel of the pavilion's first floor. On it were the words "Wind Pavilion".

"Wait here, I'll go upstairs and report." Qiu Wuya finished speaking and went upstairs. After a while, he returned and said to him, "We can go up now."

Zhan Chen nodded and followed behind Qiu Wuya, walking up the tall building. Along the way, he looked around curiously. The pavilion was decorated with carved railings and jade rafters. It was very elegant. He praised in his heart, "A medium-sized sect is really extravagant. Even in Li Jianshu's room, I can't see such luxurious decorations."

They went straight to the ninth floor. At this moment, Qiu Wuya reminded him, "Zhan Chen, you can take off your cloak now!"

Zhan Chen nodded and put away the black cloak, revealing his true appearance. Qiu Wuya opened the door and the two walked into the room one after the other.

This was only a small elegant room, but it was decorated very exquisitely. The spacious balcony was filled with spiritual flowers and herbs. A middle-aged man was taking care of them, seemingly immersed in his work and unaware of the two's arrival.

Qiu Wuya cupped his hands and bowed, "Sect Leader Ling, I've brought Zhan Chen."

Ling Xiaotian then turned and smiled at Qiu Wuya, "Thank you, Elder Qiu."

"You flatter me. It's my honor to be able to contribute to our sect." Qiu Wuya replied respectfully, then turned around and said to Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, come and pay your respects to Sect Master Ling."

Zhan Chen took a step forward, cupped his hands, and bowed. He said in a clear voice, "Golden Elephant Sect disciple Zhan Chen greets Sect Master Ling."

"Alright, get up and let me have a look." Ling Xiaotian said with a smile.

Only now did Zhan Chen raise his head and stand up straight. Ling Xiaotian sized him up from head to toe for a while and couldn't help but nod in praise. "Hmm, heroes really come from the young. This little fellow Li Jianshu has cultivated a good disciple."

Zhan Chen replied humbly, "Sect Master Ling, you flatter me."

"Hahaha!" Qiu Wuya couldn't help but step forward and say, "Sect Leader Ling, this kid Zhan Chen is not only a martial arts genius, but he is also upright and outspoken. He has perseverance and is quick-witted. He is someone who can achieve great things."

"Hahaha!" Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh and ridicule, "Brother Wuya, just now you said a lot of good things about Zhan Chen. Now you still want to continue praising him. It can be seen that you have a soft spot for this kid!"

Qiu Wuya's face turned red. He was a little embarrassed but he continued, "Sect Leader, what I said is the truth."

Therefore, he reported to Ling Xiaotian everything he saw at the Wang Clan in Dark Plum Town, especially focusing on Zhan Chen's fight with Wang Yunfeng.

The more Ling Xiaotian listened, the more surprised he became. The way he looked at Zhan Chen changed. He knew that even when he was a Martial Master Great Perfection, he couldn't challenge a Martial Venerable.

In the end, Qiu Wuya said, "Sect Leader Ling, don't you often sigh that it would be great if we righteous sects had spies hidden in the Demon Sect? Wouldn't it be great if we could transmit the Demon Sect's movements?"

"In the beginning, I thought that it was just empty talk. But after I saw Zhan Chen, I changed my mind. If we let a talent like him take on this heavy responsibility, we might really succeed!"

This bold statement scared Zhan Chen. He hurriedly said, "Senior Qiu, you're not joking, are you? I don't practice demonic arts. If I go, I'll give myself away! "

On the other side, Ling Xiaotian was silent. He lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he said, "It might really be possible."

Zhan Chen was a little anxious. He said, "How can we do that?"

Ling Xiaotian looked at Zhan Chen's anxious expression. He looked at Qiu Wuya and smiled. Then, he said to him, "Zhan Chen, you don't have to worry about giving yourself away. In fact, the structure of the Demon Sect is much looser than you think. To be exact, the people of the Demon Sect don't necessarily have to practice demonic arts and eat human flesh."

"What's going on?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.

Ling Xiaotian continued to explain, "Hehe, you don't know the inside story of the Demon Sect. So, you misunderstand. Although the people of the Demon Sect are cruel and immoral, they still need the help of the secular world to collect cultivation resources. Only then can they stand tall and compete with us righteous sects. The country controlled by the Demon Sect is actually no different from our Hou Yan Kingdom. It's just that the people living in it have a more cruel way of survival. "

"So, within the Demon Sect, there will still be non-demonic cultivators coming in and out. In history, there have even been cases of defected disciples of our righteous sects joining the Demon Sect. Because these disciples are familiar with the actual situation of our righteous sects, they are instead valued by the Demon Sect.

"Now, Elder Qiu wants you to join the Demon Sect with the identity of a defected disciple of the Golden Elephant Sect. You'll help us pass on information. If this plan succeeds, it will be of great help to us!"

Zhan Chen was silent for a while. This was an arduous and unrewarding task. Not only would he have to bear the infamy of defecting, but once his identity was seen through by the Demon Sect, he would definitely die without a burial place.

Qiu Wuya saw that Zhan Chen was still hesitating. He clenched his teeth and actually bowed to him.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen hurriedly shouted, "Elder Qiu, I can't do this. You are my savior!"

Qiu Wuya raised his head and said to him, "Zhan Chen, this old man is begging you. This matter must belong to you. First, your cultivation is not high. It won't arouse too much vigilance from the people of the Demon Sect. Second, only people like you, who are both brave and intelligent, have a tenacious temperament, and hate evil as if it's their enemy, can we pass! "

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Ling Xiaotian said again, "Zhan Chen, I know you feel wronged. I swear to you that after this matter is done, not only will I clear your name, I will also fully support you in breaking through the realm of King Wu and Emperor Wu!"

"At present, the Demon Sect is rampant and the righteous sect is declining. Moreover, we are not clear about the specific plans of the Demon Sect. In this way, all the sects in the Hou Yan Kingdom will face the test of survival! Once the Demon Sect invades, the people will be plunged into an abyss of suffering. Therefore, if you can succeed, you will be the hero of our entire righteous sect! "

Zhan Chen was finally somewhat persuaded. It was not because of the high hat that Ling Xiaotian put on him or those illusory rewards, but because the Hou Yan Kingdom was his motherland. The Golden Elephant Sect was his home. In the sect, there was his master, girlfriend, and friends.

He, who had participated in the secret mission to annihilate the Demon Sect, had also personally witnessed the cruelty of the Demon Cultivators. If his contribution could really be exchanged for peace, then he was willing to do so!

Therefore, he finally made up his mind. He raised his head and said to Qiu Wuya, "Senior, this life of mine was originally saved by you. If my contribution is really helpful to you, I am willing to risk this life of mine."

"Good! Zhan Chen, this old man did not misjudge you! "Qiu Wuya said happily.

Ling Xiaotian was also very happy. After pondering for a while, he said, "Zhan Chen, for these few days, you will meditate and recuperate here and cultivate. I will send a letter of divorce to your Sect Leader Li. Let him come over and discuss this matter together."

After another ten days, Li Jianshu rushed to the Misty Wind Sect. He met with Ling Xiaotian, Qiu Wuya, and Zhan Chen to discuss this matter and set up a secret plan. There was no fifth person who knew about this matter.

After a month, Zhan Chen's wanted poster appeared in the streets and alleys of the Hou Yan Kingdom. It was even exaggerated that his methods were cruel, angering both humans and gods, and that he massacred more than a hundred people from the Wang family of Dark Plum Town.

After that, this matter spread to the Golden Elephant Sect. After Li Jianshu knew about this matter, he flew into a rage and immediately gathered all the elders to discuss this matter. The final result was: Severely punish Zhan Chen, confiscate his elite disciple qualification, expel him from the Golden Elephant Sect, and offer a reward to encourage the disciples of the sect to arrest him, regardless of whether he was dead or alive!

Even though Zhao He and Su Yun specially went around to lobby for this matter, they were unable to change the decision of the higher ups of the Golden Elephant Sect to punish him.
