202: Chapter 202 Each with their own ulterior motives

Ji Taichang casually opened the sealing array of this place.

"Yes."

Du Mengyue nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

Ji Taichang looked at Hui Yi: "If you stay by my side and don't go back, will there be trouble?"

Hui Yi thought for a moment and said truthfully, "The Night Owl organization is tightly structured, and there aren't many Void Refining stage assassins; every one of them is a mainstay. If I disappear for a long time, it will likely attract the attention of the Night Owl leader, and he might even come to investigate personally."

"Every Void Refining stage assassin leaves a Soul Tablet in the Night Owl organization; they might be able to track my location."

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin. "How strong is the Night Owl leader? Give me a detailed introduction to your Night Owl organization."

"Yes."

Hui Yi spoke in a respectful tone, telling Ji Taichang all the intelligence she knew about the Night Owl organization.

Night Owl is a top assassin organization in the Eastern Desolate Region with an ancient and mysterious origin. Its assassins are spread throughout the region, and they claim there is no one they dare not assassinate.

As long as the pay is sufficient, they even dare to assassinate people from the Five Great Sacred Grounds!

The Night Owl organization's strength is profound, even surpassing most first-rate powers.

Just the Void Refining stage assassins Hui Yi knew of numbered over fifty!

Body Integration Stage assassins are relatively rare and mysterious. With Hui Yi's strength and level, she hadn't come across much information, only knowing that the Night Owl organization has at least three Body Integration Stage experts.

As for the leader of the Night Owl organization, they are the most mysterious of all. Hui Yi had only heard of the leader's existence but knew nothing about their information.

Gender, cultivation level, origin—all were unknown.

But Hui Yi estimated that the leader of the Night Owl organization likely possesses a Mahayana Stage cultivation!

The reason was simple.

Over the years, the Night Owl organization has assassinated many core figures of the Five Great Sacred Grounds. Although the Five Great Sacred Grounds had retaliated, they never made a major scene or dispatched Mahayana Stage experts to trouble the Night Owl organization!

If the Night Owl organization didn't have a Mahayana Stage expert overseeing it, the Five Great Sacred Grounds would likely have wiped them out long ago!

"In that case, this Night Owl organization isn't one to be trifled with..."

Ji Taichang's brow furrowed slightly.

Offending the Chiyang Sect and the Lietian Holy Land was one thing, but Night Owl is an assassin organization, specializing in stealth and assassination. Like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows, they are quite troublesome.

"Forget it, I won't provoke the Night Owl organization for now. You go back; I'll notify you if I need you to take action."

Ultimately, Ji Taichang waved his hand and let Hui Yi leave.

Regardless, he already had several Void Refining stage Primordial Spirits in his possession, which were enough to guard the Qingyun Sect. There was no need to force Hui Yi to stay.

"As you command, Revered Master."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Hui Yi's eyes, but she still nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

Ji Taichang formed a hand Seal and activated the yang yao disk.

Accompanied by bursts of radiance, the endless runes between heaven and earth receded, and the array lines extinguished one by one. The sealing array of this place was disbanded, and Ji Taichang retrieved the formation Materials.

Ji Taichang released the Thousand-Faced Enchantress and the Void Refining stage demonic creature's Primordial Spirit from the human emperor flag, sending them to guard the Qingyun Sect.

He, on the other hand, headed for the Tiangang Holy Land!

After Ji Taichang broke through to the Void Refining stage, his full-speed flight had reached a startling level, comparable to a Peak ninth-level Void Refining stage expert!

But the Eastern Desolate Region was too vast and boundless.

Even flying at full speed, it took Ji Taichang over a day to finally arrive at the Tiangang Holy Land.

What met his eyes were majestic mountains tens of thousands of feet high, like crouching dragons surrounding the area.

Each mountain soared into the clouds, surrounded by bands of mist and glowing with the colors of dawn and dusk—a truly magnificent sight.

Amidst the surrounding mountains, ancient cities rose from the ground, bustling with many Cultivators coming and going, like a kingdom of its own.

The vastness and prosperity of the Tiangang Holy Land were even greater than those of the Shuiyue Holy Land.

Even with Ji Taichang's current Void Refining stage cultivation, he couldn't see its end in a single glance.

The Tiangang Holy Land was heavily guarded, protected not only by a massive Protective Sect Array but also by squads of Cultivators patrolling in all directions. Ordinary people could not get close at all.

Ji Taichang took out the communication Magic Treasure Lu Qingmeng had given him and began to contact her.

Snap, it was very fast!

In just a dozen breaths, a tingling, charming voice sounded.

"Xiao Changchang actually came so quickly. Did you miss your Auntie?"

A refreshing, delicate fragrance wafted from behind, and Ji Taichang's palm fell into a warm and soft little hand.

Lu Qingmeng had appeared behind Ji Taichang at some unknown moment.

Today, she was still wearing a purple palace dress, her ample chest standing tall and proud. Her watery peach-blossom eyes looked at Ji Taichang with deep affection, her whole being radiating the delicious aura of a mature woman, like a neighbor's wife whose husband was away on a business trip.

"Eh?"

The moment Lu Qingmeng saw Ji Taichang, she keenly sensed something unusual.

For she discovered that she could no longer see through Ji Taichang!

With Lu Qingmeng's powerful Body Integration Stage cultivation, she should have been able to see through Ji Taichang's cultivation and aura at a glance. But now, she couldn't sense any information from him at all. He seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, his aura profound and boundless, like a cold pool that could not be peered into!

"Could he have obtained a treasure that can conceal his aura?"

"No."

"To be able to hide from the senses of a Body Integration Stage expert, it must have been given by that stinky woman Nan Yin."

"Heh, she certainly dotes on this Disciple, not being stingy at all with even such a treasure."

A thought flashed through Lu Qingmeng's mind as she made her guess.

In reality, Ji Taichang didn't have any aura-concealing treasure; he was using the power of the Heavenly Fox True Pupil to hide it!

"That's right."

Ji Taichang turned the tables, taking Lu Qingmeng's small hands in his own. He looked at her with burning eyes. "Since we parted a few days ago, my mind has been filled with nothing but Aunt Meng. I've missed you terribly..."

Su Wanqing wasn't around, and Lu Qingmeng clearly had feelings for him, so Ji Taichang wasn't going to be polite!

This wave of active counter-offensive from Ji Taichang actually gave Lu Qingmeng a slight start, and she gave him a somewhat peculiar look.

Primarily, she thought there was definitely some romantic ambiguity between Ji Taichang and Su Wanqing. Coupled with the fact that she and Nan Yin were once friends, she assumed Ji Taichang would view her as a respected elder.

Furthermore, when they last met, Ji Taichang had behaved quite honestly and with principle. Faced with her inducements, he was unwilling to betray Nan Yin or join her sect.

Lu Qingmeng hadn't expected that on their second meeting, this kid would actually dare to flirt with her!

However...

Lu Qingmeng subconsciously licked her lips, a hint of desire flashing in her eyes!

Since this boy is interested in her, then his Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body... this lady will gladly accept it!

Nan Yin, oh Nan Yin, your Disciple will soon be mine!!

Lu Qingmeng felt a bit of heat in her heart, but she didn't show it directly. Instead, she pulled her hand away, gave the back of Ji Taichang's hand a gentle pat, and scolded playfully, "You bad boy, I'm your auntie and also your Revered Master's friend. Are you trying to betray your Revered Master and ancestors?"
