Chapter 346: Chapter 211: Are the Young Master-in-law and the Young Miss Playing Me?
Red Eagle thought for a moment, then said, "Normally, it would be Immortal Chong Guang, but we haven’t received any specific details—just a notification of his arrival. This is different from the usual procedure.
"Perhaps it’s because this involves the New Evil God, so the Immortal Sect is being more cautious.
"They even gave specific instructions that only personnel from the Zhenyue Bureau are to receive them."
"It seems the Immortal Sect is taking this matter very seriously," Xiang Tianlin said, his expression grave. "This way, we can determine who the real problem is."
"And what if it really is that Jiang Man who’s the problem?" You Yu asked, a curious and slightly playful look on her face. "I wonder if Senior Brother Xiang will still speak up for him then?"
Xiang Tianlin ignored her provocation and replied calmly, "Then naturally, he’ll be dealt with as he should be. But if he didn’t collude with the Evil God, I hope the restrictions on him can be lifted.
"His talent is already starting to show."
"It’s still a bit early to talk about talent at the Golden Core realm, but I don’t deny that his aptitude for arrays is very high," Red Eagle said.
Cultivation follows a set path; amassing resources can accelerate the process.
However, the path of arrays...
If you don’t have a knack for it, you’ll likely never get it.
Even if you spend a lifetime studying and practicing diligently, you’ll achieve minor success at best.
There are some things you’ll just never grasp, not in a whole lifetime.
That’s why it was so significant that Jiang Man could master the Twenty-One Introductory Books on Array Patterns in such a short time and even point out the flaws in the Blood Sacrifice Array.
His talent was exceptional.
As they were discussing the matter, they suddenly received a message.
The three of them said in unison, "They’re here."
It was an alert from their Identity Tokens.
At that same moment, in his prison cell, Jiang Man’s eyes snapped open.
He had also received the alert.
The people from the Immortal Sect had arrived.
’The moment of truth for Old Huang has come. But I’m not sure who’s arriving.
’I hope it’s not some powerhouse.
’Otherwise, this could get really dangerous.’
At that moment, high in the mountains outside the Wuyun Sect, a middle-aged man hovered in the air on his sword, his robes fluttering in the wind.
A young Cultivator followed closely beside him, his expression respectful, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
Behind them followed four others dressed in strange attire, including black hats that obscured their faces.
But the aura of the four was as deep and vast as the sea.
It was impossible to fathom.
"Chong Guang," the middle-aged man in the lead said calmly, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
"I am here." Chong Guang, who was beside the man, kept his head lowered, his posture one of extreme deference.
Even just following him on the journey, he had felt immense pressure.
He had never dreamed that the Evil God incident at Wuyun Sect would actually alarm such a major figure.
"We’re almost at Wuyun Sect, aren’t we?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes, it’s just ahead," Chong Guang replied respectfully.
The middle-aged man’s voice was as deep and placid as an ancient well. "What do you know about the people in charge of Wuyun Sect?"
"I have some understanding of them. They’ve all cultivated in the Immortal Sect. Their strength is considerable, and they are highly capable. They’ve generally been able to handle all matters concerning the Evil God at Wuyun Sect without the Immortal Sect’s intervention.
"They are much stronger than their predecessors. This time, they only requested aid from the Immortal Sect because they detected the aura of a New Evil God and couldn’t identify it," Chong Guang answered cautiously.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said no more.
From his placid, unchanging expression, it was impossible to tell if he was satisfied with the answer or felt otherwise.
Chong Guang felt a suffocating pressure.
Unable to understand, he could only guess at the man’s intentions.
After all, this was one of the four great Elders in charge of the special departments.
The paramount figure who commanded the Zhenyue Bureau and Dinghai Hall—True Master Tai Hua.
Even within the entire Immortal Sect, his status was pivotal.
Soon, the silhouette of the Wuyun Sect appeared on the horizon.
"Elder, we’ve arrived," Chong Guang reported in a low voice.
True Master Tai Hua gazed ahead, silent for a moment, before saying, "Wuyun Sect has done quite well these past few years."
Chong Guang kept his head bowed and remained silent, not daring to interject.
Just then, three streaks of light shot through the air toward them.
It was Red Eagle and the others.
However, when they got a clear look at the arrivals, they couldn’t help but freeze in place.
There were more people than expected this time.
And they didn’t recognize the one in the lead.
As members of the Zhenyue Bureau and leaders of a Sect branch, their status was not low. They were even acquainted with the highest authorities of the Bureau.
But this person before them was a complete stranger.
Nevertheless, they still bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Seniors."
"Who is in charge?" True Master Tai Hua asked calmly.
Red Eagle immediately took a step forward, bowed his head, and replied, "I am."
True Master Tai Hua nodded slightly, his voice devoid of emotion. "Let’s go. Take us somewhere quiet first."
Red Eagle didn’t dare say more. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Immortal Chong Guang—the liaison they usually dealt with—standing silently to the side like a common attendant, and a chill went down his spine.
At the same time, it made them all the more bewildered. ’Just who *is* this great personage?’
「A short while later.」
The group moved to the Zhenyue Hall.
True Master Tai Hua strolled to the head seat and calmly sat down.
Everyone else stood with their hands lowered, not daring to make the slightest move.
Inexplicably, Red Eagle and the other two felt a great, oppressive pressure.
It was as if his mere presence on the high seat made the air stagnate and difficult to breathe.
"Chong Guang." As they were lost in thought, True Master Tai Hua broke the silence.
"Present." Chong Guang immediately bowed.
True Master Tai Hua looked at him calmly and said, "Go patrol the surroundings. See if you can sense the aura of any Evil Gods."
"Yes," Chong Guang answered respectfully.
Without hesitation, he bowed, took three steps back, and only then turned to leave, not once glancing at Red Eagle or the others from start to finish.
He knew perfectly well this was just an excuse to make him leave.
There were things to come that he could not know—and more importantly, *should not* know.
Therefore, he could be certain.
True Master Tai Hua’s sudden visit to Wuyun Sect was for an entirely different purpose.
After Chong Guang left, True Master Tai Hua turned his gaze to Red Eagle and the other two.
