"Then if you manage it, you must give this old man a bottle. You young rascal haven’t even paid your respects to me, yet it was I who lost a Magical Treasure."
Liu Da Rong chuckled.
"For now, I don’t have anything suitable for you, but definitely in the future, I’ll have some good things saved for you."
"I’ll remember that. What are your plans now? Do you really intend to continue participating in the Inner Sect assessment?"
Liu Da Rong inquired.
"Yes, after the assessment, I can justifiably take action against certain individuals and quickly allow Zheng Yunshu to return."
"Actually, the pressure isn’t as intense as before, and it shouldn’t be a problem to sneak someone back to meet Zheng Bingzhong."
Liu Da Rong thought for a moment and said.
"Some things still need to be resolved."
Shen Wang didn’t want certain people to act too arrogantly and impose right at the doorstep.
"Yes, after all, his son’s death is connected to Yun Shu, and once discovered, it will undoubtedly cause trouble, though this matter is difficult to resolve."
Zheng Yunshu tapped his fingers on the table, frowning as he said: "Previously, Yun Shu’s lack of appearance led them to preconceive that Xie Xianlong’s death had something to do with Yun Shu. If you bring people back, you must be cautious."
"Since you wish to continue the assessment, I must inform the Sect Leader of your somewhat special status, given your ties with the Celestial Travel Sect and now working under the Sixth Prince."
Liu Da Rong muttered as he stood up, then turned into a ball of white flame and swiftly flew away.
At the mountaintop area of the Hundred Refining Sect, Liu Da Rong landed in front of a majestic hall, paying respectful greetings: "Liu Da Rong greets the Sect Leader."
A slightly aged voice sounded, and the hall doors were not closed, guarded only by two disciples, as Liu Da Rong strode in.
Inside, there were two rows of stone pillars with flames of various colors dancing atop them. The further in, the deeper the flames, and the higher the temperature, with a purple flame at the innermost, causing space to distort.
An elderly man in a yellow robe with grey hair sat cross-legged amidst the flames, not only unscathed by the purple fire, but appearing more integrated, as if his Mana were exceptionally profound.
His face was gaunt, slowly opening his eyes, and spoke with authority despite showing no anger: "Da Rong, is there another conflict with the Body Refining Pavilion?"
"No, Sect Leader, it’s regarding a matter concerning a junior disciple."
Liu Da Rong shook his head and said: "This junior has taken in a Named Disciple whose current situation is a bit unique. I must inform you, Sect Leader, so that a decision may be made."
He briefly explained Shen Wang’s background and current situation. After hearing him out, the Sect Leader said: "Since you’ve chosen him, Shen Wang’s character should be decent. He can be brought into the Inner Sect to explore the Royal Family’s sentiments for us at the Hundred Refining Sect. But since he is controlled by that Sixth Prince, be cautious in bestowing core inheritances and Magical Treasures."
"Yes, if it involves core inheritances, I will come to consult with the Sect Leader."
"Go then, his identity will remain known only to you and me for now. No need to inform others, let him work well under the Sixth Prince and report any useful information." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel※fire.net
The Sect Leader reminded, pleased to have another channel for information gathering.
Liu Da Rong left satisfied and said to the waiting Shen Wang: "The Sect Leader doesn’t object to you joining the Inner Sect and has even specially permitted you to be our undercover near the Sixth Prince. You should make the most of it and reap benefits from both sides."
Shen Wang heard this and laughed: "Benefits from both sides, sounds quite appealing."
"As long as you’re not discovered, you’re fine. If you are, it’ll be quite terrible for you." Liu Da Rong teased.
"You can only participate in next month’s Inner Sect assessment, so arrange your time well to avoid any issues."
"No problem, I’ll find someone from the Body Refining Pavilion to thrash once."
Shen Wang could still stay for more than a day, wanting to stretch his muscles.
Although still hiding his cultivation level, unable to fully unleash it, it didn’t prevent him from experiencing new powers.
"I think you should keep a low profile."
Liu Da Rong was a bit speechless.
"It shouldn’t have much impact."
Shen Wang waved a hand and walked out.
He first took a stroll around the residential area, where many people still did not recognize him, but others did.
"Isn’t this Liu Pavilion Master’s newly accepted Named Disciple? Haven’t seen him since he showed up last time."
"Probably in closed-door cultivation, just came out now."
"Last time, he thrashed the Body Refining Pavilion people, who have come several times seeking payback, but never got the chance. Now they probably have one."
Members from other pavilions discussed with interest, while Shen Wang learned that during his absence, those beaten from the Body Refining Pavilion were discontent and had sought him out.
"Seems they won’t take long to come looking for me."
Shen Wang muttered, swaggering around before entering the Library Pavilion to browse the Array Formation Manuals.
With the competence of an Array Emperor Level, reading these manuals was much easier, as Shen Wang quickly absorbed the details at a glance.
By the second day, Shen Wang had browsed no less than a hundred Array Formation Manuals, feeling it was sufficient, he left the Library Pavilion, attracting immediate looks from a group waiting impatiently outside.
"Brother Yan, he’s out!"
Xie Jintong, who had been thrashed by Shen Wang, quickly pointed out.
"Heh, this guy will definitely be beaten up for fun by Brother Yan."
Another person sneered.
The young man called Brother Yan sat expressionlessly at a distance, appearing in his thirties.
His background was not simple, being a descendant of Old Monster Yan, a key figure in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, possessing deep roots and top-class talent, securely placed in the top ten of the Hundred Battles Ranking.
In their eyes, such a presence dealing with Shen Wang, who came from an Array Master background, was trivially easy.
