Time trickled by.

One after another, disciples from Jie Sect started arriving from all directions, sharing a common identity—they were Demon Gods from the Ancient Demon Court.

These Demon Gods were all of high achievments.

The least among them was a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, in front of Yu Yuan, even if they were all Daluo Golden Immortals, they would still be no match.

They were basically smacked unconscious with a slap and stuffed into bottles one by one.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a total of eight Demon Gods were caught.

And this was not all of them.

Some, more alert, left immediately upon sensing something was amiss.

These were the clever fish.

At least much smarter than Virochana Immortal and others who had carelessly given themselves away.

Yu Yuan waited quietly for a while longer, estimating that those who should have arrived were almost all present, then continued to use the Daluo Divine Needle to anchor Virochana Immortal's Primordial Spirit, and carried him like a little chicken towards Biyou Palace.

Soon, he reached the front of Biyou Palace.

It happened that Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Bai Li, and other Ten Heavenly Lords from Golden Turtle Island had just descended from the sky, and looked quite surprised at Virochana Immortal, who was being carried by Yu Yuan.

The Ten Heavenly Lords like Qin Wan were the elite among the outer disciples of Jie Sect, not only profound in their Dao, but each of them was also a master of Array Dao, deeply trusted by Sect Hierarch Tongtian.

Usually, when Sect Hierarch Tongtian summons his disciples, it is they who pilot the Curved Realm Ark to pick up people from all corners of Primordial.

Thus, they had considerable clout among the outer disciples and maintained good relationships with almost all Jie Sect disciples.

At this moment, seeing Virochana Immortal, one of the Seven Attendant Immortals, being carried by Yu Yuan like a little chicken, several Heavenly Monarchs showed displeasure on their faces.

They were aware that Yu Yuan, as an Inner Sect Disciple, held a special status, with profound Dao and was favored by Sect Hierarch Tongtian, and not someone they could afford to provoke. But they, like Virochana Immortal, were elite disciples of Jie Sect, bound by countless millennia of friendship.

Confronted with this situation, they naturally couldn't ignore it... At the very least, they had to find out what was going on, right?

Thus, after a moment of hesitation, Qin Wan Heavenly Monarch, as the leader of the Ten Heavenly Lords, still asked with a frown: "What is... Disciple Nephew Yu Yuan doing?"

"This impostor claimed to be Uncle Virochana Immortal and I caught him, so I'm bringing him before the master!" Yu Yuan said as if dealing with a serious matter.

Qin Wan Heavenly Monarch skeptically looked at Virochana Immortal and then at Yu Yuan, his face full of an expression that read "You seem to be joking with me."

Although he had yet to cross that threshold to attain the Dao Fruit of Daluo, his eyes and ears were not deceiving him, so how could he not recognize Virochana Immortal as the one he knew!

As he pondered his words, contemplating how to clarify the situation without offending Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan had already become somewhat impatient and urged: "Elders, please enter first, the truth of the matter will become clear shortly."

Bai Li Heavenly Monarch, fearing that Qin Wan Heavenly Monarch and others would clash with Yu Yuan, hurriedly spoke up: "Disciple Nephew Yu Yuan is right. Let's not waste time... Almost everyone is here, let's hurry in."

Qin Wan Heavenly Monarch nodded, and despite his doubts, he did not say anything further but stepped aside to let Yu Yuan go first.

Yu Yuan, without any courtesy, carried Virochana Immortal straight into Biyou Palace.

Bai Li Heavenly Monarch hurriedly followed.

Instead of walking with Yu Yuan, he lagged behind slowly.

After a few steps, Bai Li Heavenly Monarch's Primordial Spirit Transmission arrived as expected.

"Daoist Yu Yuan, where have you been during these days? I've used several Sound Transmission Treasure Pearls but couldn't find you... In any case, there is something important to tell you. The hall of the Demon Emperor from the Ancient Demon Court has reappeared in Northern Continent, and someone saw Chaotic Divine Light shooting into the sky, which is almost certainly fragments of the Chaos Bell...

Also, the Twelve Golden Immortals from Chan Sect have recently descended the mountain, racing to the Southern Continent as if searching for something.

The Southern Continent has been rather lively lately. That Water God of ancient disaster, Wuyun Immortal, has gathered a host of spirits and monsters in the wilderness of the southeastern Southern Continent...

And the Heavenly Emperor's nephew has also gathered a troop of Erlang's infantry...

Right, Wen Zhong's decision to build a city at Linhuan Pass has been spreading like wildfire within the sect, and it is said that there is a plan to abandon Great Shang in favor of supporting Linhuan Pass instead.

Many fellow disciples have complaints about this.

They are too deeply entwined with the fate of Great Shang, and if they are asked to completely sever ties, their Dao will surely diminish... Of course, I fully support your decision, Nephew..."

Bai Li Heavenly Monarch told Yu Yuan all the news of this period in a rambling manner.

In fact, as soon as Yu Yuan returned, he had already contacted Wen Zhong and Bai Ling through the Central Palace Bronze Mirror.

He was aware of all these messages.

Yet he listened attentively nonetheless.

For one, comparing different sources helps avoid any oversights, and secondly, it afforded Bai Li Heavenly Monarch an opportunity to shine.

Ever since employing the "stick + carrot + promise" strategy, Bai Li Heavenly Monarch had become very enthusiastic, often taking the initiative to share information.

Therefore, when handing over the Investiture of the Gods, Yu Yuan did not forget to erase his name from it.

This action also dissolved the last of Bai Li Heavenly Monarch's grievances, and he would chatter to Yu Yuan about anything he heard.

Whenever this happened, regardless of the usefulness of the information, Yu Yuan would show his gratitude.

Nothing else, just to keep Bai Li Heavenly Monarch's enthusiasm alive.

After all, none of this was rare for him.

It was an apt use to maintain this relationship.

As long as there was one piece of information in the future that proved useful, the kindness extended now would not be a waste.

The covert communication between Yu Yuan and Bai Li Heavenly Monarch lasted the whole journey until they stopped at the main hall of Biyou Palace.

The group stepped inside.

At the upper end of the main hall, Tongtian Sect Hierarch was seated high above on a cloud bed.

He wore the Upper Pure Lotus Crown atop his head and was draped in a Red White Crane Silk Robe; his black hair cascaded down to his waist, and his sword-like eyebrows slanted upward, framing his handsome face, which, uncommonly, was clouded with stormy expressions, devoid of the slightest smile.

Below him, Daoist Duobao, the Holy Mother of the Immaculate Conception, Gui Ling Saint Mother, Zhao Gongming, the three Xiao girls, Wuyun Immortal, Golden Hoop Immortal, and nearly two hundred disciples were seated in order.

Since the alliance talks among the Three Sects, Tongtian Sect Hierarch had never convened his disciples.

Thus when the Gathering Immortals Bell was rung unexpectedly, almost everyone who heard its sound arrived posthaste.

Even the primordial Demon Gods, who usually secluded themselves and did not venture out, came with full hearts of confusion.

Most of those present did not know why the Sect Hierarch had summoned them; from his expression, it seemed he planned to speak once everyone had assembled.

As such, the assembled immortals of the hall did not ask questions aloud but privately exchanged their conjectures in hushed tones.

This situation intensified with the arrival of Yu Yuan.

All due to Virochana Immortal being carried in Yu Yuan's hands!

As Yu Yuan entered the hall holding Virochana Immortal, the expressions of many disciples and Disciples changed dramatically.

Surprise, bewilderment, confusion, shock, anger, disgust...

A multitude of emotions flickered through their eyes.

The Saint's Dao Field, distant from the mundane Red Dust, instantly morphed into a cauldron of swirling emotions.

Yu Yuan was also unable to discern what their looks truly meant, just as they were clueless about the purpose behind his actions.

"Disciple, what is going on?"

"Why is Virochana Immortal brother being treated this way?"

Qiu Shou Immortal and Spiritual Teeth Immortal, among the Seven Attendant Immortals, who were quite close to Yu Yuan, starting asking questions in turn.

Yu Yuan paid them no heed. First, he glanced at his master, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, and seeing her give him a slight nod, he was set at ease.

He threw Virochana Immortal onto the ground emanating immortal aura as though discarding trash. Then, he solemnly saluted the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, "Grand-disciple greets Ancestor Master, may Ancestor Master's saintly life be boundless!"

The Tongtian Sect Hierarch looked at him for a long time, seemingly scrutinizing, and perhaps observing changes about him.

"Rise."

Tongtian Sect Hierarch pointed at Virochana Immortal and looked at Yu Yuan, "What is the meaning of this?"

Yu Yuan replied earnestly, "Reporting back to Ancestor Master, I was schemed against and repeatedly assaulted by remnants of the Demon Clan from the Northern Continent. Fortunately, protected by Ancestor Master's blessings, I managed to turn danger into safety.

Afterward, I asked my martial uncles to investigate thoroughly, yet the mastermind lurking in the shadows remained undetected.

Until a few days ago, I coincidentally discovered that this mastermind has always been hidden within our Jie Sect… It's him, the Sixth Sun Crown Prince from the ancient Demon Court, Lu Jun, who disguised himself as Virochana Immortal and infiltrated our Jie Sect for many years!

Not daring to act rashly, I captured him and his accomplices to bring before Ancestor Master at Biyou Palace for investigation to reveal the truth and seek Ancestor Master's justice on behalf of his grand-disciple!"
