"Qian Yuan, recently something big happened. It hasn’t spread yet, but it could cause chaos throughout the Thirty-Three Heavens."
Wu Shuang suddenly said.
"Oh, what big event?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
If Wu Shuang said it’s a big deal, it must be extraordinary.
"It’s said that the Primordial Demon Sect has emerged."
"Primordial Demon Sect?"
Li Qian was also taken aback. Based on some ancient texts he’d read, the Primordial Demon Sect is one of the oldest Immortal Demon Sects, existing outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and every time they emerge, it causes great chaos within the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Within the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Immortal Dao is revered, while the Demon Dao is always suppressed.
But that doesn’t mean the Demon Dao is weak... Rather outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, it’s the world of the Demon Dao.
"I heard that in the Ninth Layer Heaven, a powerful Immortal Sect was completely annihilated overnight, and their entire mountain gate turned into a Demon Domain."
"Wu Shuang, didn’t you say last time that the Yuyang Daoist of Tianshu Palace colluded with the Demon Dao? Could it be related to the Primordial Demon Sect?"
Li Qian suddenly thought, hurrying to ask.
"It’s not impossible, so we must take precautions; they might temporarily be unable to do anything to me, but they’re very likely to target you."
After all, Li Qian is only at Heavenly Immortal level.
"Why not report this collusion with the Demon Dao by Yuyang Daoist to the higher-ups of Yuhua Immortal Sect? Even if the higher-ups don’t believe it, it could at least intimidate them and prevent rash actions."
In fact, he couldn’t understand Wu Shuang’s actions, nearly being killed by Yuyang Daoist, yet still choosing not to report it.
Wu Shuang fell silent after hearing this.
She sighed faintly, seemingly making a decision, then looked at Li Qian with a very complicated tone, "You just don’t understand Yuyang Daoist... To outsiders, any Dao Master of Yuhua Immortal Sect could possibly collude with the Demon Dao, but Yuyang Daoist absolutely wouldn’t..."
"What do you mean? Didn’t you see Yuyang Daoist colluding with the Demon Dao?"
"The Chu Family, which Yuyang Daoist hails from, is a branch of the most prestigious Immortal Family Infinite Divine Mountain Chu in the Thirty-Three Heavens. The Infinite Chu Family holds a position in the Immortal Court of the Thirty-Third Heaven. And Yuyang Daoist’s father was the previous Dao Master of Tianshu Palace, who perished during a Demon Dao purge. If I say they collude with the Demon Dao, do you think anyone would believe it?"
Wu Shuang chuckled lightly, "I’m afraid others would think I’m using personal grievances to slander them...."
"Uh... Since Chu Qi has such a prominent background, why would he still collude with the Demon Dao? There’s no need for it at all?"
Li Qian frowned slightly, finding it hard to believe.
"Yes, this is what confuses me the most."
Wu Shuang shook her head.
Even if Chu Qi wanted to obtain her Reversed Yin Body to solidify his Immortal Golden Immortal foundation, and was willing to use vile methods, why collude with the Demon Dao? There must be some reason behind it.
"In a few days, I have to go out for a task, and Unrivaled Dao Palace will be managed by you."
Wu Shuang said again.
"Will it take a long time?"
"I’m afraid it won’t be short."
"Does it have something to do with the Primordial Demon Sect?"
"Then be careful, these years you’ve stayed within the Immortal Sect, making it hard for Tianshu Palace to plot against you. But going out on a task is different."
"Don’t worry, compared to a few years ago, I’m much stronger now. Even if I encounter the same situation again, it’s impossible to get hurt."
Wu Shuang said confidently.
Since becoming a Daoist couple with Li Qian, her Cultivation Realm has progressed rapidly, especially with the Cold Flame Law Seed almost formed. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be possible without one or two hundred years.
Li Qian nodded, Wu Shuang is a Dao Master and indeed doesn’t require his worry.
Wu Shuang left the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
Li Qian fully took charge of the Dao Palace affairs.
Unexpectedly, just days after Wu Shuang left, trouble came knocking.
"Grandmaster, there’s trouble. Elder Qiu from the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly came with people, saying that our Unrivaled Dao Palace harbors Demon Dao defectors and wants to search the palace. Senior sister is leading to block them..."
A Dao Fruit level disciple of Wu Shuang ran in, anxiously reporting.
"Don’t panic, I’ll go take a look."
Li Qian got up and left the Great Hall.
As one of Yuhua Immortal Sect’s eight major Dao Palaces, the fact that people from the Law Enforcement Hall dared to come and search the palace was bold.
Even with Wu Shuang gone, it shouldn’t be so audacious.
He suspected there must be other Dao Palaces fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Moreover, he thought of Lian Yunshang, who used to be with the Shenxiao Society, though she left long ago, some time ago, the Shenxiao Society sought her out.
It now seemed likely that those behind Shenxiao Society were exerting force.
Li Qian soon arrived at the gate of Unrivaled Dao Palace, where a large group of cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall was in a standoff with disciples of Unrivaled Dao Palace.
Leading the Unrivaled Dao Palace side was Wu Shuang’s senior disciple Huo Ling.
This woman was already at the Heavenly Immortal Peak.
Just a step away from solidifying the Transformation Condensing Pill.
Leading the Law Enforcement Hall side was an old man with a goat-like beard, a lean frame, prominent cheekbones, and a cold, aggressive gaze, "Our Law Enforcement Hall has the right to internally investigate Demon Dao defectors. Even the Dao Palace can be searched to eliminate all threats. If there’s offense, I will personally apologize once the Unrivaled Daoist returns, but for now, do not obstruct....."
He was a Profound Immortal Elder, naturally disregarding Huo Ling.
