28: Sect secrets, Yujiao’s confidence!

“Hmm, Fairy Yu Jiao hasn't been sidelined yet. After failing a few times, she can still be entrusted with important tasks. Could it be that the number of hidden agents on Corpse Refining Peak isn't as high as I imagined?”

“Or perhaps, Fairy Yu Jiao's background in the Jiao Demon Sect isn't small, allowing her to bear the consequences of several failed missions.”

Shi Chuan, in his Immortal Cave on Great Pagoda Mountain, pondered as he looked at the newly compiled intelligence.

No matter which it was, Jiang Yuheng, a Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator like a ticking time bomb, was about to make a comeback. He needed to closely monitor her movements!

Shi Chuan now felt that he had too few informants, and could only passively wait for the intelligence to be re-compiled at zi shi (11 pm - 1 am).

If the zi shi (11 pm - 1 am) intelligence didn't re-compile information about Jiang Yuheng and Fairy Yu Jiao's subsequent actions, wouldn't he be put in a passive position?

However, for now, Shi Chuan had just started, and his cultivation was only at Mid-Stage Qi Refining. There wasn't much he could do.

He could only proceed slowly, picking up any leaks.

He hoped that later, the intelligence would re-compile a major leak.

...

Nine Bend Market.

Qiao Family Artifact Refining Shop, in a secret chamber dozens of feet underground.

Inside the secret chamber, the lights were bright.

“Junior Yu Jiao greets Senior Jiang!”

“Senior is truly a master of hiding in plain sight. I doubt anyone would have thought that Senior was hidden within this Qiao Family Artifact Refining Shop.”

“Junior is impressed!”

Yu Jiao, dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat to conceal her face, respectfully said to the purple-clothed woman sitting on a Spiritual Plant cushion in front of her.

“No need for pretense. Just speak directly. I want you to help me successfully leave this Yellow Springs Demon Sect and resolve the Restriction Demonic Gu within my body. What are your conditions? Just state them.”

At this moment, Jiang Yuheng, whose eyes faintly flashed with black Evil Qi, spoke indifferently.

“Senior is straightforward!”

“As long as Senior can hand over the Formation core nodes of the Sect Protection Formation arranged on Corpse Refining Peak and Refining Soul Peak, and reveal the cause of the current Vice Sect Leader Liu Tiansha's death in the Yellow Springs Demon Sect!?”

Yu Jiao continued.

“The Formation core nodes of the Sect Protection Formation?”

“I only know one for Corpse Refining Peak. As for Refining Soul Peak, how can I get my hands on it? Your Jiao Demon Sect's condition is too harsh.”

Jiang Yuheng frowned slightly, her tone displeased.

These Formation nodes of the Sect Protection Formation were all controlled by the Peak Masters. It was already difficult for her, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Elder, to know one Formation node.

“As for Sect Master Liu Tiansha, she was originally my backer. Since her demise, even people from the same Sect have secretly poisoned me. If not for this, I wouldn't have been driven to the point of betraying the Sect!”

“I know some inside information about Sect Master Liu Tiansha's death, but can your Jiao Demon Sect's Golden Core Demonic Cultivators help me resolve the Demonic Gu Restriction planted in my body?”

Jiang Yuheng suppressed the emotions in her heart and spoke.

After all, she was asking for help.

“That is natural.”

“This Demonic Gu, our Jiao Demon Sect also has similar Restriction methods, so we can naturally resolve it.”

“If there is only one node for the Sect Protection Formation, then if Senior Jiang leaves the Sect, you must join our Jiao Demon Sect and cooperate with the Sect to act against the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.”

Yu Jiao hesitated for a moment, then continued.

Jiang Yuheng, on the cushion, remained calm. After pondering for a few breaths, she slowly said, “Alright!”

“According to what I know, Vice Sect Leader Liu Tiansha was jointly killed by the two current Vice Sect Leaders within the Sect!”

“At that time, Sect Master Liu and several of us Fellow Daoists agreed to explore a Demonic Sect Secret Realm, but unexpectedly, she was tragically murdered. And when Sect Master Liu died, she self-detonated her Golden Core, causing a huge commotion.”

“Those of us who followed Sect Master Liu all received a communication Jade Slip.”

“It's just a pity that I originally thought with the Sect Master in charge, those two wouldn't ruthlessly kill so many of us Foundation Establishment Cultivators...”

Jiang Yuheng's tone was calm as she spoke the words she had suppressed for a long time.

“I didn't expect the Yellow Springs Demon Sect to be in such disarray internally.”

“This is an Extraterrestrial Demon Oath. Please, Senior Jiang, swear it!”

After hearing this, Yu Jiao immediately took out a contract paper exuding a strong Devilish Qi from her Storage Pouch and presented it to Jiang Yuheng.

Extraterrestrial Demon Oath!

Once one violates the oath they made, they would be targeted by an Extraterrestrial Demon, and with her Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, she would undoubtedly die.

Jiang Yuheng was already prepared in her heart. If there were no oath to bind them, the Jiao Demon Sect would certainly not cooperate with her.

“Senior Jiang, this item is an Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman!”

“It's a damaged Medium Grade second-tier Spiritual Talisman, only meant to evade the detection of the Sect Protection Formation. Its power can only reach peak first-tier. You just need to place it in a place with abundant Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, and after more than ten days.”

“This Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman can then recover to second-tier. This way, you can teleport out of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect from within the Earth Vein!”

After the contract was completed, Yu Jiao took out a Spiritual Talisman, entirely like yellow jade, from her Storage Pouch.

“The Sect Protection Formation indeed has little obstruction to the power of the Earth Vein.”

“This ancient Talisman, the method for crafting it is missing. Even I have only heard of it.”

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Jiang Yuheng felt relieved.

This item could indeed help her successfully leave the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

After Vice Sect Leader Liu Tiansha's death, the few Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators who followed him had all met with misfortune, and very few remained.

She had only been in seclusion on Corpse Refining Peak, but what she didn't expect was that the other party would poison the Medicinal Pills she bought in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

To dare to act within the Sect, the power of the perpetrator was definitely extraordinary.

Therefore, she could only hide and cooperate with the Jiao Demon Sect.

As long as a Golden Core Senior from the Jiao Demon Sect helped her remove the Demonic Gu planted in her body, she would no longer be controlled by the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

“Senior Jiang is too kind. If Senior Jiang joins our Jiao Demon Sect, please take care of me in the future.”

Yu Jiao cupped her hands in a salute.

Subsequently, Yu Jiao and Jiang Yuheng set a date. The day the Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman absorbed the power of the Earth Vein and upgraded to second-tier would be the day Jiang Yuheng teleported away.

Before then, the Earth Vein Teleportation Jade Talisman would remain in Yu Jiao's hands.

At this moment, Yu Jiao was in a good mood. She had finally accomplished something and earned a merit.

After messing up the previous Ghost God Sacrifice and Soul Altar, she couldn't raise her head in front of the Elders and could only endure the scolding.

“Without that person secretly prying, what can't be accomplished?!”

“On Corpse Refining Peak, the place with the most concentrated Earth Vein power is only the underground river beneath the Corpse Refining Cave.”

Yu Jiao was delighted, and at the same time, she decided where to bury the Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman!

She kept in mind the previous setback, and this time she would also secretly place a Superior Corpse Puppet and a Medium Grade Gu insect to guard it together!

She would definitely not lose this Earth Vein Teleportation Talisman.
