335: Yao Yi'an and the Bitter Flesh Scheme

The eighth year after the invasion of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons ended.

That is to say, a few years ago, a strange old man stepped into the mountain gate of the Cloud Heaven Sect.

"Are you that Demon Breaking Holy Son, Zhang Yizhi?"

"Uh... Senior, I indeed am..."

"Good, good, good!" The old man said 'good' three times in a row.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of techniques surged around his body. After casting a spell to bind Zhang Yizhi, he prepared to hoist him up and take him away.

"Senior, for what reason do you enter our Cloud Heaven Sect!?"

"Senior, please show mercy and do not harm my inferior Disciple!"

The Muscular Daoist appeared instantly with a group of Elders, looking anxious as they hurriedly tried to stop him.

However, the stranger merely released a faint trace of his Aura, and it felt like an invisible mountain pressing down, causing the Muscular Daoist and the Elders to freeze in place, unable to move.

"Venerable... a Deity Transformation Venerable!" Someone shouted in terror.

Seeing these Cloud Heaven Sect powerhouses appear, the old man became even more certain that the person before him was the target he had been searching for. He threw his head back and laughed: "Hahaha, I finally found the right person."

Then, with a wave of his large hand, he threw out a handful of spatial rings.

These rings were filled with treasures, precious resources like Medicinal Pills, rare Spiritual Plants and Ores, and even quite a few peerless treasures of the Nascent Soul level.

There were so many resources that they were enough for the Cloud Heaven Sect to Cultivate three more Nascent Soul True Lords.

"This wealth is compensation for you; I, this Venerable, will take this person! He is perfect to inherit my Legacy!"

"I am Guo Junxian, the Fifteenth Elder of the Haitian South Pavilion in the Canglan Realm!"

Having said that, the old man picked up Zhang Yizhi and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Only the Cloud Heaven Sect's powerhouses, along with the Muscular Daoist and the others, were left in a daze.

After that, it was a long journey.

I do not know how many days and nights passed, or how many mountains, rivers, and seas they crossed.

"We have arrived." High above in the firmament, Guo Junxian slowed down while carrying Zhang Yizhi and landed steadily in a magnificent giant city.

"Activate the Teleportation Array; I, this Venerable, am returning to the Haitian South Pavilion!" He ordered loudly.

"Yes! Venerable!" The guards did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent and operated it quickly.

In an instant, the Teleportation Array shone brilliantly, and the intense light completely enveloped Zhang Yizhi and Guo Junxian.

Amidst this light, space twisted, and the scenery around them shifted rapidly, dizzying and mesmerizing.

I do not know how much time passed, but as the light gradually dissipated, Zhang Yizhi felt a wave of vertigo.

When he finally stood firm, the sight before him left him too shocked to speak.

Canglan Realm, Canglan Prefecture.

Haitian South Pavilion!

Endless, majestic mountain ranges came into view, their towering stature far exceeding that of the Cloud Heaven Sect, with millions of Disciples.

Countless towering pavilions were scattered among them, each emitting a faint golden light, with Formation runes flickering and leaping.

Clouds and mist swirled around, wrapping around the mountains like light gauze. The crisp cries of Spirit Beasts could be heard from time to time, and there were many figures flying on swords in the distance.

Spiritual Plants grew wantonly, and the rich Spiritual Qi rushed towards him, fresh and thick, making Zhang Yizhi unable to help but take a deep breath.

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is so dense here, it is almost twenty times that of Donglin Prefecture!"

"This is the Canglan Realm, the Haitian South Pavilion."

Guo Junxian's voice sounded at the right moment, filled with pride.

"Next, you will begin to come into contact with the true Cultivation Legacy."

"Starting from tomorrow, you will undergo five hundred years of Hell-style training to inherit my Legacy as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—hundreds of beams of light descended.

A group of male and female Disciples dressed in Haitian South Pavilion attire rushed over to welcome them, bowing respectfully to Guo Junxian.

"Respectfully welcoming the Fifteenth Elder back!"

Immediately after, their gazes fell upon Zhang Yizhi, their eyes filled with confusion.

"This child is the heir I have chosen; he will Cultivate in the Pavilion from now on!"

"He is to be regarded as my personal Disciple!"

...

...

After seeing the current situation of his Fellow Countryman Qin Dong, Li Jinian turned to the next Fellow Countryman.

He activated his Origin, and in an instant, the image of the second Fellow Countryman appeared.

An underground palace, a figure, as steady as a mountain through wind and rain.

There was nothing to say; it was a stable performance.

Facing the only Fellow Countryman who had never generated any profit for him, Li Jinian's speechlessness was self-evident.

"Next!"

Immediately after, the Fellow Countryman with the disastrous start appeared in the image—Yao Yian.

...

"Don't run! Traitor!"

"Traitor! How dare you betray the Sect; your crimes are unforgivable!"

The successive shouts of 'kill' shook the surrounding cold mountains and frozen forests, causing the cold snow to fall.

Yao Yian held a long blade, fighting and retreating. He was already covered in wounds and looked very disheveled.

Ahead, his former Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters quickly formed a sword Formation, rushing toward Yao Yian like a surging tide.

"Subdue Evil Sword Formation! Kill!"

At this moment, he was clearly trapped in a desperate situation of being hunted down.

"Wallace! You colluded with Evil Path Cultivators and attempted to destroy the Sect Formation."

"With both human and material evidence, the proof is as solid as a mountain; what other excuses do you have to offer!!"

"You so-called Righteous Path members are all people who defy the Heavenly Dao! It would be better to join the Evil Path and follow the Heavenly Dao!"

"Utterly ridiculous! Today, we will definitely clean up the Sect and eliminate you, this scourge!"

In an instant, the battle broke out completely, and Yao Yian was surrounded by the crowd.

As the long years flowed by, after so many years of Cultivation, his strength had become even greater, and his true cultivation base was about to break through to the Middle Stage of the Silent Spirit Realm.

However, the cultivation base he displayed to the outside world was only the Middle Stage of the Spirit Manifestation Realm.

And those currently besieging him were only a group of Spirit Manifestation Middle and Late Stage Cultivators.

Yao Yian looked like he was fighting hard, but in reality, he was acting hard.

The reason he had to act was because there was actually a hidden reason.

Yao Yian glanced slightly, without leaving a trace, toward a hidden corner where a looming figure was quietly lurking.

...

More than ten years ago, the Young Saint Yao Yao came to him and began to issue a series of tasks that an undercover agent should execute.

Such as placing certain ominous items into the Sect Formation, and trying to find out the detailed list of personnel that the Righteous Path had inserted into the various forces of the Evil Path... Every single item was more dangerous than the last.

But what was inconceivable was that after Yao Yian was forced to act according to the requirements, the Sect's Formation was not destroyed, but instead became even more perfect.

Those Righteous Path undercover agents lurking in the Evil Path forces also became safer and safer.

Even when those Righteous Path undercover agents encountered life-and-death crises, mysterious Cultivators would always appear in secret to help them and resolve their predicament.

All of these things left Yao Yian stunned.

"Wait, no? Buddy?"

"You are an Evil Path Cultivator! Is it okay for an Evil Path Cultivator to secretly help the Righteous Path?"

Yao Yian was a bit confused, but who let the other party pay him on time every once in a while.

"Forget it, just do it. I am doing good deeds, not bad deeds."

However, in the Ethereal Holy Land, besides this kind of reverse undercover agent like Yao Yian, there were also some normal undercover agents who were truly working for the Evil Path.

During an operation to steal the Sect's confidential information, Yao Yian was accidentally caught on the spot and captured, and was escorted by a group of Disciples to face many Elders.

Who could have expected that before he could even defend himself, the many Elders were full of astonishment, exclaiming that this was absolutely impossible.

After all, the many Elders knew the true identity of this 'Wallace'; he was the Reincarnation of an Ancient Sage, a being surrounded by seven layers of Karma halos.

With such a noble status, how could he be a traitor or an undercover agent?

Someone must have framed him!

It must be like this!

Therefore, after intense discussion, the Ethereal Holy Land simply went along with the plan, using this to stage a bitter meat scheme, allowing him to infiltrate the Evil Path and become an undercover agent for the Righteous Path!
