"You already completed it?" Elder Shan's shocked voice resounded from the communication device.
It had only been a few hours since she had left Yang Wei alone with the outer disciples.
"H-How did you manage to complete the mission this quickly?" Elder Shan asked.
Yang Wei began to explain what happened and their unfortunate grouping with the Purple Scorpion Sect.
"At first, I was a bit disappointed to group up with the Purple Scorpion Sect since I didn't dare to make a move with them next to us. However, thanks to Wan Ping and his ridiculous speech, he managed to provoke a disciple in the Purple Scorpion Sect." Yang Wei said, relaying the events to Elder Shan.
By the time he finished his words, Elder Shan was in disbelief by the luck Yang Wei had.
"I'm surprised they actually dug their own graves by trying to be the leader of the group." Elder Shan said.
"Well, I have to thank them for their work in separating us from the Purple Scorpion Sect. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to deal with them soon and it would have become problematic if we approached Tang Xin's hideout closer." Yang Wei smiled as he snapped his finger.
An alchemy flame soon appeared in his hand as he flicked it toward the corpse of Wan Ping.
The smell was becoming a bit too stiff and stinky so Yang Wei decided to burn it.
"Anyway, what are you going to do now?" Elder Shan then asked Yang Wei.
Initially, she thought Yang Wei would spend more than a few days annihilating the outer disciples.
The outer disciples chosen by the Feather Wind Sect in the list were the people they managed to find out to be consuming a modified pill.
They didn't try to outright kill them inside the sect as that would hurt them even more but with the mandatory summon by the Phoenix Sky Sect.
Everything changes because they can now shift the blame of their disciples' death to the Phoenix Sky Sect.
"The Phoenix Sky Sect thought this was a chance to vent their anger on us but never did they expect that we were using them to take out some of the scums in our sect." Elder Shan giggled as she could imagine the wrath from them if they figured out their scheme.
"Elder Chen Xue might have vomited a mouthful of blood or even ripped his white beard off from getting outplayed by us." Yang Wei teased further.
"Are you going to come back now?" Elder Shan asked.
"Not yet, Elder Shan. I'm planning on staying in the Misty Forest for a bit longer to strengthen myself." Yang Wei said as he bid farewell to Elder Shan.
Afterward, he placed his communication device back to his storage ring as he kicked the soft soil lightly to leap upward.
Standing on a tree branch, Yang Wei used his spiritual perception to sense the surrounding area, hoping to find some magical beasts.
'Hmm, the Purple Scorpion Sect is going to a cave?' Yang Wei raised an eyebrow when his spiritual perception caught sight of them.
However, he quickly canceled his spiritual perception when he noticed that they had sensed him.
"What happened, Senior Brother Ma Boqin?" One of the Purple Scorpion disciples asked.
Ma Boqin held a solemn expression as he glanced in a particular direction.
'Weird, was I overthinking it? For a second, I thought someone was spying on us.' Ma Boqin wondered silently as he observed the surroundings a bit longer.
When he realized there was no more spiritual qi fluctuation around, Ma Boqin turned around and entered the cave.
"Nothing, I was just being overly cautious since we can't mess up the plan." Ma Boqin then said to dispel their doubts.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei had secretly hidden in a nearby tree as he stared at Ma Boqin in a solemn gaze.
'Such strong perception…' Yang Wei said silently as he was almost caught for doing a sneak peek.
His soul force had increased drastically and there shouldn't be anyone from the Foundation Core realm to be able to sense him perfectly.
However, Ma Boqin was able to detect someone was spying on him the moment there was a slight fluctuation.
Such a dangerous and cautious person wouldn't be sent to the mandatory summon for no reason.
Yang Wei spied for a bit longer manually before shaking his head. He then turned around and headed off in the opposite direction of the Purple Scorpion Sect disciples.
"Whatever they're doing, it doesn't concern me." Yang Wei muttered as he wasn't going to investigate their plan. He wasn't a hero nor was he strong enough to stop whatever they were doing either.
Hence, Yang Wei decided to stay far away from them as he began fighting multiple magical beasts, increasing his fighting skills and experience.
As for the scouting that Elder Chen Xue had tasked them with, only a fool would actually relay anything to him.
Elder Chen Xue probably never placed any hopes in them either and was merely trying to send them off to their death, helping him to save some effort and strength.
Alas, Elder Chen Xue had miscalculated hard when both Yang Wei and the Purple Scorpion Sect were taking advantage of the situation to their benefit.
"Phew, this Fiery Wolf is really tough." Yang Wei wiped his forehead slightly with his sleeve as he pulled his sword out. The Fiery Wolf dropped to the ground, and there was a hole in the middle of its body.
Yang Wei knelt down slightly and was a bit disappointed to see there was no magical beast core in the body.
"Sigh, another wasted effort." Yang Wei mumbled softly as he glanced at the sky. "Elder Chen Xue and the others should have been entering the Misty Forest by now."
Yang Wei then stored the Fiery Wolf corpse into his storage ring as he ventured further inside the Misty Forest.
'Let's see if there are any changes in the Tornado White Tiger's area.'
