If it had been Ji Fu from a few years ago, he would have flown into a rage upon hearing of an ally’s betrayal, but now, as the news was relayed by a spy, his expression did not change in the slightest; only his deep eyes revealed a trace of an unusual emotion.
The Ji Clan of Beimang had a cooperative relationship with the Ancient Blood Tower. To some degree, their fates were intertwined, as the client who ordered the assassination of the An Clan’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy was none other than the Ji Clan of Beimang.
The reason they acted so brazenly was that the targeted party had already uncovered the root of the He Clan, and upon seeking help from the Ji Clan, they had no choice but to strike first.
The assassination went smoothly, and with the compensation received, the Blood Tower again went into hiding. Had Gu Han not been pursued relentlessly by An Yuanxi, leaving him no escape in the heavens or on earth, he would not have fled to Beimang.
It was assumed that after sending away the Corpse Monk, it would be possible to lead An Yuanxi away, but unexpectedly, Gu Han returned, and he brought the Bone Taoist with him.
This was the first joint operation for the two of them since the assassination of the An Clan’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy. There must have been substantial interests at play; otherwise, they wouldn’t have betrayed their principles for profit and intercepted the Ji Clan’s intelligence.
After sorting through the intricate web of logic, Ji Fu was certain that the target of the Corpse Bone Protector was the Wuyi Sect; what they would never have imagined was how swiftly the Ji Clan could gather intelligence!
“Track the movements of the Corpse Bone Protector and pass the message on to An Yuanxi.”
After issuing the order, Ji Fu’s face remained unchanged as he refocused on the martial exhibition of Lingxiao before him, as if he had never been distracted.
…
As the intelligence network of the Ji Clan began to operate with a target in mind, the situations of the Corpse Monk and the Bone Taoist became increasingly difficult to manage. The two, who usually managed to shake off An Yuanxi, now felt as though he had become an unshakable burr, doggedly pursuing them.
This time, those who accompanied An Yuanxi were all the Dutian Heavenly King’s warriors of Investigator rank or higher, naturally making it even more difficult for the two men.
The intelligence network affiliated with the holy land, aside from the standard configuration of the Wind Media Department, also boasts a unique military structure. Ranging from the bottom to the top, the ranks are Tongzhi, Investigator, Patrol Inspector, Town Calmer, Heavenly Patrol, and Dudu.
Starting as a Patrol Inspector, one must possess cultivation above the Fierce Realm to qualify, and facing a group of Patrol Inspectors all from holy origins, even Gu Han and Feng You felt overwhelmed.
Not to mention that among them was the Town Calmer of the Wind Department, the Feather God An Yuanxi. As the preceding generation’s envoy of the An Clan, An Yuanxi had cultivated the Wing King’s Mantra to the level of six feathers by his forties, rivaling some of the Grandmasters of the An Clan. With such an advanced level of the Wing King’s Mantra, in single combat, he stood almost at the pinnacle among the warriors of the Fierce Realm, not in the least inferior to the average Grandmaster.
This was also the main reason why Gu Han and Feng You were chased around like dogs, after all, nobody wanted to confront the notorious Feather God of Zhongzhou openly. If it were an outright battle, the two would not fear facing two against one, but given the presence of that horde of the King’s patrolling warriors, they naturally did not dare to act rashly.
If it were any other time, the two would have already left Beimang’s territory and fled separately; no matter how formidable An Yuanxi was, he was but one person. However, at this moment, they still harbored a glimmer of hope.
They hoped that the fearsome Devil Lord Gou Chen would face An Yuanxi directly and then with their support from the sidelines, first clip An Yuanxi’s wings before taking him on three against one. With such a strategy, even if An Yuanxi had the prowess to reach the sky, he would be forced to accept defeat.
Therefore, for the two of them, the reason they kept circling Beimang without leaving was that they had a critical turning point for reversing their defeat into victory.
To wait for the moment of overturning the tide, the two endured painstakingly.

Upstream of Lingjiang, Fuling City
Longxi Alliance Council
In the council hall, three grotesquely disfigured corpses lay neatly arranged. From their wounds, it was clear they had been hit head-on, their internal organs pulverized by tremendous force before bursting out from their backs. Such a feat could only be achieved by a martial arts master, and according to the intelligence currently obtained, there was no doubt that it was the work of the ferocious Demon Lord Gou Chen.
Head of Wind Media Department, Tang Feng, distributed the gathered intelligence to all members of the alliance and instructed, “The Wind Media Department has already made contact with Buddha Country’s Esoteric Sect. The sect has sent three Diamond Grandmasters to Longxi, who will arrive in, at most, half a month. Within this half month, our clans have dispatched strong individuals to track Gou Chen’s whereabouts. I ask that all clan members temporarily cease their city expansion tasks. Besides merchant disciples and martial ancestor level experts, do not leave the city lightly, to avoid any mishaps.”
…
Beimang, Lingxiao Sect
Having waited for half a month, Tang Luo finally received another summons from Ji Fu. He had thought that the Ji Clan had arranged for him to enter the Wuyi Sect, but upon meeting, he realized that was not the case at all.
“Grandmaster Blood Lion and An Yuanxi have joined forces, setting an ambush that severely wounded the Corpse Bone Protector. After tearing through the formation, both their whereabouts became unknown. An Yuanxi was invited to Hui Ling Mountain and, under the decree of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of the Wind Department, crowned Wuyi Sect as the premier sect of Min Mountain, Hui Ling Mountain as the Holy Spirit Mountain, and titled Grandmaster Blood Lion as Divine Min’s Eminent Grand Libationer, entrusted with the ‘Tai Xuan Alliance Commanding Scripture Stele.’
Tang Luo frowned with disbelief, “Has the Wuyi Sect been granted a scripture stele by the Tai Xuan Dao Alliance?”
Unlike Buddha’s Country’s demand for unification, Daoism has always maintained a policy of seeking common ground while preserving differences among the various sects’ doctrines, rarely intervening unless some particularly stray from the path of Dao.
Initially, the Tai Xuan Dao Alliance was just an exchange meeting initiated by some Daoist leaders from Zhongzhou and the southern heavens, aimed at inviting some reclusive sects to share their mastery with one another. However, over time, it took on a different significance.
During the exchanges, the sects that shared their knowledge made gratifying progress, and those reclusive sects who benefited sang high praises of the Tai Xuan Dao Alliance.
After much praising, the concept naturally arose among the people that only the sects who had joined the Tai Xuan Dao Alliance were good sects.
Therefore, later on, those sects that had been invited by the Tai Xuan Dao Alliance came to be known as orthodox sects, while those not invited were called wild sects.
Between the orthodox and the wild, the hierarchy was clear. If previously the Wuyi Sect was just a small-time wild sect of Beimang, now it truly was like a fish leaping through the Dragon Gate.
But what Tang Luo could not understand was how Grandmaster Blood Lion, single-handedly, managed to sway those lofty Daoists within the Xuanji Sect?
As Tang Luo pondered, Ji Chen added, “Right now, it’s not just about being coronated. The Heavenly Patrol Envoy has allocated the entire Min Mountain to Wuyi Sect, and this matter is no trifling one, because before this, our clan had already promised a grandmaster that the Min Mountain territory would be his sect’s domain. Should Grandmaster Blood Lion provoke him, a cataclysmic disaster may ensue!”
