In a private room in the Inkstone Tower.

The girl in white sat silently at the head of the table, carrying a gorgeous sword of gold and silver at her waist. Her exquisite and beautiful face was expressionless, but there was a faint confusion in her black and white eyes.

Two seemingly ordinary Soul Formation stage Immortal cultivators were kneeling before him.

They all looked like they were in their thirties or forties, wearing the same Daoist robe, a purple-gold crown, and a long sword with a tassel at their waists. They seemed to be from the same sect.

Of these two Immortal cultivators, one was tall and had handsome brows and bright eyes. He had the elegant demeanor of a scholar, and the folding fan in his hand was folded, which did not look out of place in a brothel.

The other man had a square face, sharp features, and a cold expression, but he looked like an upright man who had been dragged into a brothel by the previous person.

In fact, they were playing these two roles.

The one who looked like a carefree scholar was called Shao Cao, and the one who looked like an upright person was called Lu Gong. They had entered the City of Ten Thousand Swords a month before to watch the watched the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event. They came from an ordinary middle-level sect called Green Cloud Temple.

Like ordinary cultivators who wanted to attend the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, the two of them visited all the famous scenic spots in the City of Ten Thousand Swords in this month. They usually stayed in Qingping Residence and went to the Inkstone Tower to pass time when they had nothing to do.

But in reality, these two were spies sent by the demonic sect to the City of Ten Thousand Swords.

Today was supposed to be a very ordinary day, but as they were carrying out their daily infiltration work, the two guardians of a branch of the demonic sect, who had relatively high positions, sensed the arrival of the Holy Envoy. The demonic Qi in their meridians surged.

In an instant, the two of them saw the Holy Messenger, who had come to the Inkstone Tower for some reason and appeared in the corridor.

Although they had only seen her once before, they would never mistake the figure of the Holy Messenger who had always been by the side of the Holy Maiden!

Moreover, the demonic Qi in their bodies had shown their willingness to submit, so they could not refuse.

When they confirmed that the Holy Messenger was in front of the room they had reserved, the two of them instantly understood. So that was the case!

It was impossible for the Holy Messenger’s envoy to appear here for no reason. Moreover, it was so coincidental that it happened right when they were about to start their mission. Therefore, there was only one possibility!

The Holy Messenger had specially come to supervise them and wanted them to report the progress of the matter!

Shao Cao and Lu Gong immediately stepped forward and respectfully transmitted their voices, “Greetings, Lord Holy Messenger.”

Zhiying, “?”

The young girl who was secretly following and observing Liu Yuan looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.

However, the two of them seemed to understand it completely. They looked to their left and right naturally and secretly, then opened the door. “Your Excellency, please come in. Our tasks are almost done. As long as we wait for the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event to start, the plan can be carried out smoothly…”

Zhiying stopped.

Although she did not know what mission the members of the sect had here, she knew that Liu Yuan would be participating in the Tide-watching and Sword-listening event in a few days.

His mother’s mission was to protect Liu Yuan. If she felt that there was a major threat, she had to eliminate anyone, no matter who it was.

The young girl nodded indifferently and walked into the room. Thinking of her mother’s usual appearance, she lightly hummed, “You guys did well.”

The two of them were overjoyed. They knelt on the ground and said, “Thank you for your praise, Lord Holy Messenger.”

Zhiying sat at the head of the table in the room and said indifferently, “Your plan.”

The two of them did not understand the way Zhiying spoke. They were stunned at first, then they realized that she wanted them to talk about the progress of their plan and layout.

However, the Lord Holy Messenger was indeed the Lord Holy Messenger. Her words were concise and clear, not sloppy at all!

Zhiying was sitting by the window, and the street was right outside. She was distracted and found that she could still see Liu Yuan on the street.

But for some reason, he entered the Inkstone Tower.

The young girl looked on expressionlessly, and the thought that he was going to enter the brothel to find a woman flashed through her mind.

Her thin eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and she did not even notice it.

The decorations around the private room were very simple. There were no gaudy gauze curtains or anything like that. There were only tables, chairs, teapots, and a screen. There was also a slightly higher stage on the side for some people to play music and dance.

Other than that, it looked similar to a superior room in an ordinary inn.

In fact, Inkstone Tower was the same as an ordinary inn. It provided accommodation, food, and drink, but the price was high. They all spent spirit stones here. Ordinary Immortal cultivators would not stay here, but it was fine to try something new occasionally.

Naturally, there were also girls who were looking for customers in the Inkstone Tower. Most of them were Immortal cultivators in the past. Some of their sects were exterminated, or they were gradually suppressed by some middle-level Immortal cultivation sects after their decline. Only then were they accepted by the Green Centipede.

“Your Excellency, our plan is going smoothly. After we were exposed at Water Moon Dock, the Orthodox Dao became vigilant and began to eliminate our spies once again. However, they didn’t expect that this is an opportunity for us. On the surface, the Orthodox Dao says that they’re eliminating spies, but in reality, they’re taking advantage of the chaos to eliminate dissidents. There are many open and secret fights, and many of our colleagues in the Sacred Holy Church are doing their work even more smoothly.”

A cold and proud smile flashed across Shao Cao’s face. “These foolish Orthodox sects will only seek their own destruction. This world will belong to our Sacred Holy Church sooner or later!”

“Yes.” She secretly noted it down, preparing to tell Liu Yuan when she returned.

Lu Gong also added with a villainous sneer, “However, when they put all their attention on these things, they completely forgot that our Holy Church’s people aren’t just spies. In this Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, we will completely change the direction of the tide in the Jade Snow mountain range. The force produced when the tide clashes with the tide is comparable to the full-force attack of a Synthesis stage cultivator. At that time, we will be able to destroy the entire event, and we will be able to take away the top of the Ten Great Swords that Zuo Youhuai is going to put on display!”

The demon cult member became more and more excited and impassioned as he spoke, as if he could foresee the future when he would once again make a great achievement for the demon cult.

“Well done.” The young girl continued to speak expressionlessly, but she suddenly sensed that Liu Yuan seemed to have entered the inner hall of the Inkstone Tower and was doing something with two women.

… What a failure of a father.

“Don’t worry, Lord Holy Messenger! We’ve already put all our men in place, and things are proceeding very smoothly. Once the time is up, we’ll immediately be able to destroy the City of Ten Thousand Swords!” The two of them promised loudly.

Zhiying could not think of anything else even after digging through her little brain. She paused for a moment and could only nod.

“Alright,” she said.

“Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency! The two of us will not fail you!”

The two from the demonic sect became even more excited. Their faces were full of excitement as they laughed sinisterly. The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became very villainous.

…

Zhiying was sent back to the corridor by the two people and happened to meet Ah Yue, who came to look for her. The secret guard said simply, “Your father asked me to bring you over.”

Zhiying sniffed and nodded expressionlessly. She lowered her hand, which was raised earlier to her sword. “Father’s smell.”

Ah Yue, “…”

Was there something wrong with this daughter of his?

The secret guard’s ears turned red again, and she led the way in front, somewhat at a loss.

Zhiying suddenly counted. This was the eighth concubine.

The young girl suddenly became worried. In the future, she was afraid that even a single room would not be able to fit all of them.
