Chapter 1029: Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer; Three Disciples

“True Inheritor Bai’s words are absolutely right.”

Chen Ye nodded in agreement,

“The things we’ve pried from her mouth over the past year have been majorly impactful, especially that list of hidden agents.”

Upon mentioning this list, Bai Susu’s small face displayed a hint of sarcasm:

“The hypocrites of Huayue Mansion truly have the ambition of wolves, harboring ill intentions from the start. If it weren’t for Ling Kingdom’s involvement, causing mutual entanglements that make them hesitate to act rashly, they would have likely already torn off their masks and launched a huge army against our Yan Kingdom.”

From Gu Tangyin’s mouth,

Chen Ye and Bai Susu learned that the sects big and small in Yan Kingdom have almost all been tampered with by them.

For instance, the gradual decline of the Mechanical Wood, Gold, and Stone lineage of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, for instance, True Man Lingbao’s disloyalty, for instance, the increasingly fierce internal conflicts in the Refining God Sect, and the battle between Lingyin and Duqing—all initiated and driven behind the scenes by Huayue Mansion.

Without deploying a single soldier, they can subtly control the vast Yan Kingdom with the minimal cost.

If the current situation is maintained, it’s feared that even without Ruins Country’s army pressing down, the Cultivation Realm in Yan Kingdom will disintegrate.

Even,

even Lingyin Sect’s interior has several Huayue Mansion’s traitors.

Chen Ye paused, looked towards Bai Susu: “Has the investigation on those traitors within Lingyin Sect been clear?”

“Rest assured.”

Bai Susu lifted her chin,

“Do I need you to tell me this? I’ve already informed the elders, and the elders are personally watching those individuals. They indeed are Huayue Mansion’s traitors, currently just watched but unaware of their exposure.”

“Just… what’s concerning my sect’s elders is the current state of Medicine King Valley.”

“If Gu Tangyin’s words are true, Huayue Mansion’s next target is Medicine King Valley! If they succeed, Medicine King Valley will likely suffer severe damage. But the matter of Gu Tangyin is truly confidential. If even a bit of wind leaks, those old foxes of Huayue Mansion will certainly sense something!”

Currently,

the numerous intelligence from Gu Tangyin’s mouth is only known by the elders in Lingyin Sect and can’t be directly communicated to Medicine King Valley.

Moreover, Lingyin Sect and Medicine King Valley have an uneasy relationship, making it a headache to thwart Huayue Mansion’s plot.

Yet if no help is extended…

No matter what enmities have existed between Lingyin Sect and Medicine King Valley in the past, both sects origin from the same source, facing the vast entity of Ruins Country, their stance is united, and help must be given.

“I guess the elders would most likely send a deeply cultivated, trustworthy cultivator with good relations with Medicine King Valley to go there…”

Bai Susu looked at Chen Ye, elongating her tone with a hint of a smile,

“Guess who, in our entire Lingyin Sect, best fits these conditions?”

Chen Ye’s eyelid twitched, a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

Having received Huayue Mansion’s ransom, he now only wants to cultivate peacefully, reaching Core Formation as soon as possible.

He doesn’t want to deal with these miscellaneous tasks anymore.

Chen Ye solemnly declared:

“I believe Guardian Zhao Yushuang of Danxia Peak is appropriate. She is renowned in Yan Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm as the Pill Fool, having personally visited Medicine King Valley to seek the way. Although I am also willing to contribute to the sect, comparatively, reaching Core Formation sooner is the greatest reward for the sect!”

“Cut it out with that…”

The blonde girl glared at Chen Ye angrily, humming,

“Do you say these pleasant words in front of me? You don’t want to go, just say you don’t want to go… But, forming a Core is no easy task. You’re still at Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment, are you just sitting in Linsong Valley for seclusion? Hmph, I reached Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment and am not yet anxious to form a Core, but you seem to be in a hurry.”

In Bai Susu’s view,

Chen Ye had only broken through to Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment two years ago, now absolutely impossible to reach Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

To know,

even she was stuck at Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment for nearly four years and only broke through to Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment recently.

Chen Ye couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

Looking at the confident blonde girl before him, he didn’t argue much, just shook his head lightly.

The next moment, the Spiritual Qi in the Quiet Chamber surged.

Vast and profound Spiritual Pressure swept out from within Chen Ye!

Even Bai Susu, who had recently broken through to Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, felt a faint sense of unease.

Bai Susu’s beautiful eyes widened incredulously, staring at Chen Ye like looking at a monster, feeling the tangible Spiritual Power fluctuation, her breath paused momentarily.

“Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment?!”

The blonde girl’s voice rose several pitches, her face exhibiting a ghostly expression,

“You… when did you break through?! You just stepped into Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment two years ago; even if you ate Spirit Stones every day, it shouldn’t be this fast!”

To know, the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one goes further.

A single layer between late-stage Foundation Establishment often traps countless prodigies for years.

Bai Susu prides herself as the first genius in a thousand years of Yan Kingdom, having no fear even before True Man Ye.

But Chen Ye’s cultivation speed is actually much faster than hers!

“Alas, perhaps it’s been this past year, constantly overseeing Gu Qianlong for the sect’s grand plan, too laborious. I’ve felt pressured, cultivating tirelessly day and night, not daring to slack off, unknowingly… just naturally broke through.”

Chen Ye lifted the Spirit Tea from the table, sipping lightly with an air of calm, sighing.

The blonde girl puffed her cheeks.

Damn Chen Ye!

He’s actually putting on airs in front of me!

The girl extended both hands, angrily pinching Chen Ye’s cheeks, kneading back and forth:

“Oh, you Chen Ye, your wings have toughened, huh! Now you’re putting on airs in front of me!”

Chen Ye said earnestly: “True Inheritor Bai, what do you mean by this?”

“Oh wow! Daring to talk back, your wings really have toughened!”

The blonde girl ground her teeth fiercely, riding on Chen Ye’s lap, messing up his hair into a bird’s nest.
