CHAPTER 577: CHAPTER 252: NANZHI BEGINS HER PROBE_2

Xiao Yinruo nodded to her with a smile, quietly retracting the ’Empathy Technique’ imposed on Mu Qingyue.

No need for ’empathy’ anymore... Hmm?

If you actually experience it on the basis of ’empathy’, what would it feel like?

Thinking too much, thinking too much.

If there’s Empathy Wan Yu, it means Jin’an is doing something with Wanyu, how else to actually experience it, unless Jin’an uses his hand on Wanyu...

Xiao Yinruo quickly suppressed these thoughts, took a step forward, and said coldly: "Let’s go."

······

Wandao Sect, Council Hall, Chang’an Hall.

Zheng Dongliu sat high on the sect master’s seat in the middle, with Ji Wenchang of Tai Shi Hall and Deputy Sect Master Yang Wentai of Taiji Palace on the left at some distance, and Pei Wanyu of Taichu Hall and Zeng Suqin of Taisu Hall on the right.

Below the platform, sitting in a fan shape, were the leaders of the Two Institutes, Four Halls, Five Pavilions, Eight towers, and Nine Peaks. Although some were absent, nearly twenty immortals present exerted an invisible pressure.

Among these people, some held Communication Compasses, obviously in contact with Wandao Sect’s immortals outside.

Outside the hall, Zhu Nanzhi peeked at the standing Lu Jin’an and quickly whispered to Xiao Yinruo: "Master, husband didn’t get into trouble, did he?"

Xiao Yinruo looked at her speechlessly, then gave her a light tap: "Always letting your imagination run wild."

Zhu Nanzhi stuck out her tongue, and Xiao Yinruo quietly led her and Mu Qingyue inside, finding a secluded corner to sit and watch the scene.

She had already given prior notice, so entering this Wandao Sect council hall was not considered overstepping.

Zheng Dongliu nodded at Lu Jin’an, who then threw out Zhou Yuanfu, who still had one breath left, from the Yinming Space.

Zhou Yuanfu slowly opened his eyes, first seeing the many familiar Wandao Sect immortals from the cultivation world.

He remained silent, his mouth involuntarily twitching.

Wasn’t this the peak of his life?

As Zhou Yuanfu thought, he wanted to say something, but Lu Jin’an directly sent the Netherworld Validation into his brow.

Lu Jin’an closed his eyes and, while quickly browsing Zhou Yuanfu’s memories, said: "White Upper Envoy of Hidden Life Mountain, current sect master of Wuji Demon Sect surnamed Taishi, South Mountain Academy..."

Lu Jin’an recited the names of the Possessors Zhou Yuanfu knew. There was some overlap with Lan Cangjun, so Lu Jin’an said them, but did not mention those without overlap.

Zhou Yuanfu was indeed the Young Sect Master of Wuji Demon Sect, but his position was not stable, as five other candidates eyed it eagerly.

However, these five candidates did not manage as many Upper Realm Possessors as Zhou Yuanfu.

"...some of these people are meant to confuse us." Lu Jin’an opened his eyes: "It’s the result of White Upper Envoy’s Divine Soul hint, and it’s impossible to determine who among them is innocent."

Zheng Dongliu looked at Lu Jin’an: "What do you think we should do?"

"Leave none," Lu Jin’an said directly: "We’ll capture them first and deal with it later."

Zheng Dongliu nodded, his voice calm: "Proceed with local proximity, and if anyone resists, bring them in as well."

The voices on the other end of the Communication Compasses ceased one by one, and then contact was severed.

In the hall, several figures rose and left.

The remaining people could not move, partly to maintain the Wandao Sect and partly to monitor the Two Realms Pass.

Xiao Yinruo also took out a Communication Compass and contacted Yi Beiyao and Gu Chenxi, as a few names Lu Jin’an mentioned belonged to sects within the Qingmiao Domain.

"Three immortals..."

A shadow crossed Zheng Dongliu’s eyes, a Unity Realm Stage Zhou Yuanfu knew three immortals; how many immortals still remained in the Lower Realm working for the Upper Realm?

Apparently, the Upper Realm had been working on possessing Lower Realm geniuses for quite some time.

"Jin’an, go capture those within the sect." Zheng Dongliu looked at Lu Jin’an: "Find out how they bypassed the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Tower’s test."

Lu Jin’an bowed and took away Zhou Yuanfu, who had turned into a Corpse Person, exiting Chang’an Hall, and Mu Qingyue quietly left her seat as well.

"Master, I want to go too..." Zhu Nanzhi stared at Mu Qingyue’s departing back with hesitation, but it was an internal Wandao Sect affair, and as a Holy Daughter of Qingmiao Palace, she seemingly had no standing to interfere.

After all, she hadn’t married her husband yet.

"Go, just don’t make any moves."

"I’m just sneaking a look at my husband~" Zhu Nanzhi quickly chased after.

Zheng Dongliu got up and walked step by step down the platform’s steps, asking Ji Wenchang: "I heard the Demon Clan has set up a battle platform at the Two Realms Pass?"

Ji Wenchang nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few experts, and their bloodline is somewhat unique. We’ve been losing quite a bit."

Zheng Dongliu nodded: "Let Jin’an go, and take this year’s new disciples with him."

"Hmm."

"Afterwards, a few of you come with me to make the Two Realms Pass behave for a while."

"As you command."

······

"Junior Brother."

After Lu Jin’an sent messages to Jiang Wuya and others, Mu Qingyue spoke: "The Demon Clan has set up a battle platform at the Two Realms Pass. I’ve agreed to fight on your behalf."

Lu Jin’an nodded and then asked: "What’s with that letter?"

"Nanzhi wouldn’t let me see it." Mu Qingyue whispered: "But I guess you can’t tell much from the handwriting."

Lu Jin’an turned to look at Mu Qingyue: "Have you told Qiu Qingtang about this?"

"She went to the back mountain cave mansion before you, Junior Brother." Mu Qingyue said calmly: "She always thought I wanted to wear the collar for you to see."

Lu Jin’an laughed: "That’s what I originally thought too."
