Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Anyway, that's basically the story.

But when it comes to tall tales, unless the listener is a rare talent like Song Qingpao, or the story is too full of foreshadowing, you inevitably have to keep digging yourself deeper.

You need new stories to patch up the casual remarks made earlier.

Xia Yan is like this.

Her story is now serialized to "Ancient Divine Dragon Awakens in the Human World, Nine Lakes Change Colors to Reveal Divine Might" and "Little Servant Accidentally Gains Great Opportunity, Enters Dragon Palace to Witness Astonishing Events".

As for what astonishing events she witnessed, she hasn't had time to make that up yet.

There's no way she would actually send intel to the Hundred Demons Sect, so she can only mix fact with fiction, and her story becomes more and more absurd.

On one hand, she has to keep her superiors reassured, telling them that although she hasn't found anything yet, the big event is definitely coming.

On the other hand, she has to keep exaggerating the subtlety of her situation to prevent the Hundred Demons Sect from sending people to look for her.

Getting exposed would not be fun.

Under the constant urging from her superiors at the Hundred Demons Sect, Xia Yan's story becomes more chaotic and increasingly detailed. But due to her familiarity with the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley, her superiors actually believed her.

They truly believed that the big event was imminent.

Yu Dong then became the apple of her superior's eye, with her fame even spreading to Five Rams.

So despite doing nothing, Xia Yan, who became a top undercover agent, shifted her goal from merely discovering a small outpost of the Hundred Demons Sect.

To finding a branch helm.

Evolving to the grand goal of taking down the main helm of the Hundred Demons Sect.

This goal seemed distant and unreachable, but Xia Yan believed luck was on her side.

Because her superior had visited the Cang Mountain area a month ago, wanting to personally meet her, a capable subordinate, and give her some recognition.

However, the outpost where he stayed was suddenly wiped out.

Her superior, a Golden Core cultivator, was inexplicably slain by two outsiders.

Xia Yan, who was supposed to be exposed, managed to continue her infiltration.

But the sudden arrival of orders disrupted the trajectory of her story's plot.

This Nameless person, Xia Yan had heard of him; supposedly ruthless, bold, and a talent favored by the Five Rams Grand Elder.

Finding him is hard, deceiving him is even harder.

Xia Yan had no confidence she could escape his discerning eyes.

After long deliberation, Xia Yan did not come up with a perfect solution, she picked up and put down the pipe repeatedly, sighed, and made up her mind.

If she gets exposed, then she gets exposed. Luring that Nameless is secondary; catching this Demon Seed is the priority!

She must seize this Demon Seed that harms all living beings!

Xia Yan went back to bed and gave Li Jue a pat.

"Get up, I have something to tell you."

"I'm not getting up, I'm definitely done for, I..."

"Not that kind of thing!"

"Oh, go ahead."

Xia Yan explained her situation and the matter of Nameless in detail to Li Jue.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ze didn't mention to Li Jue that he was Nameless, otherwise the case would be solved right now.

An utterly confused Li Jue perked up after listening.

"Let's do this, let's go!" Though he had been an undercover agent once, it was only a brief attempt. This time, catching a big fish in his own territory, Li Jue was naturally full of confidence.

Hearing Li Jue agree, Xia Yan laughed, "You said it yourself, so let's continue."

Li Jue, "?"

...

Almost dawn, while it is still dark.

Xia Yan and Li Jue left the Dragon Palace and returned to the shore.

Xia Yan was energetic, but Li Jue was utterly exhausted, his whole person somewhat hunched.

The two chatted while walking toward the Teleportation Array, planning to make some early preparations to trap Nameless.

Yet when they were about to activate the Teleportation Array, they suddenly saw a black light glow from somewhere on Cang Mountain.

In a daze, Li Jue only felt the night return, and the dawn disappear.

But upon closer inspection, the sky showed no signs.

The Divine Sea Clams in the lake, fond of gazing at the moon, were disturbed by that black light, thinking the night hadn't gone, they resurfaced and started spitting pearls at the slightly brightened sky again.

Li Jue glanced at the direction of that black light, somewhat puzzled, "Is that where Zhang Ze lives?"

...

Cang Mountain, Zhang Ze's temporary residence.

Zhang Ze looked at the items drawn from the system in front of him, held back for a long time before blurting out.

"Idiotic!"
