Internal conflicts plague the alliance as the Feiyun Sect and Profound Ice Island squabble over resources. The Sea King Sect's demands further strain relations, while the threat of external enemies looms. Xu Xun returns with urgent news: the Four Seas Commerce Association, angered by the recent elimination of their Vice President Ao Lie, appears to be joining the Celestial Net Dao Sect, a move that would significantly bolster their enemy's strength.

After many years without seeing each other, Xu Xun has made great progress, but judging by the mana fluctuations around him, his level is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven!

With such cultivation, can he ambush and kill a Golden Core Realm Cultivator?

He must figure this out!

"It’s all due to luck,"

Xu Xun smiled bitterly: "During the tracking process, I accidentally triggered an ancient restriction. Using the forbidden artifact given by my teacher, I managed to kill him!"

"As I fled and ran about recklessly, triggering multiple restrictions, I was swept into an undersea vortex by a mysterious force."

"I thought I was doomed, but unexpectedly, a hidden passageway lay at the vortex’s depths, leading directly to the edge of that sea region."

"This allowed me to escape the Four Seas Commerce Association’s pursuit!"

"I fled towards Shenxiao Island."

"After half a year, I have finally returned!"

"Of course, I’ve already shown the intelligence to the Five Elements Master, and he asked me to pass it to the Vice Sect Leader."

At this point, Xu Xun looked at Li Yunjing with a complex gaze.

Once, Li Yunjing was still his subordinate, a junior cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm.

Now, he’s at the level of the Vice Sect Leader.

Even though I’ve spent over twenty years cultivating arduously, going through countless hardships and near-death experiences, it’s not enough to describe the days I’ve experienced over the years.

Yet, despite striving to the utmost, the gap between me and Li Yunjing only widens.

Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven; to fully refine the Foundation Establishment, Xu Xun estimates it will take at least another twenty years, and if he attempts to breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm, it might take around fifty years!

What would Li Yunjing, this monster, be like in fifty years?

Xu Xun dared not imagine.

Li Yunjing’s cultivation speed is too fast.

There’s no ultimate monster, only a greater one!

He truly admits defeat!

"What are we waiting for then!"

Wen Bin slapped his thigh impatiently: "We must quickly devise a plan to stop this transaction!"

"It’s not that simple,"

Xu Xun shook his head: "The Four Seas Commerce Association acts cautiously, and the transaction location and timing are extremely secretive."

"Moreover, there are surely experts from the Celestial Net Dao Sect secretly safeguarding them."

"Acting rashly may not only fail to stop the transaction but also expose ourselves."

The pavilion fell silent, with only the sound of the sea wind whistling.

Everyone understood that this news was like a bombshell, making the already perilous East Sea situation even more complicated and confusing.

Li Yunjing lowered his gaze, rubbing the edge of the jade scroll, his fingertips touching a rune indentation, contemplating his decision.

The Five Elements Master had Xu Xun bring the news to him; surely the Supreme Elders had no better solution, wanting to hear his opinion.

The Five Elements Master didn’t summon him for a meeting either, indicating the Supreme Elder Council didn’t hold much hope in him.

Just an attempt.

Li Yunjing realized how thorny the situation was.

Finally, he lifted his head, his gaze sweeping across the tense faces of the crowd.

"Brother Xu, does the jade scroll record the spiritual sense fluctuation characteristics of the Commerce Association’s high-level members?"

He suddenly asked, his voice low yet clear.

"Those elders use special magical treasures to conceal their aura during secret meetings each time."

Xu Xun was taken aback, then nodded: "However, in the remains of the restriction in the undersea palace, I captured traces of three different spiritual senses."

"You want to use Celestial Secret Technique to track spiritual senses?"

Liao Wanqing suddenly understood: "But if you deduce such celestial secrets, the price you pay might be huge, even harming your lifespan..."

At this point, she fell silent, but her gaze at Li Yunjing was deeply concerned.

"It’s fine!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, gravely said: "If we find the transaction site, one ambush can wipe out many experts from the Four Seas Commerce Association and Celestial Net Dao Sect! If we seize the transaction’s spirit stones and resources, the gains would be even greater."

Ji Zixuan suddenly tugged his sleeve, her big eyes full of worry: "Brother Yunjing, take it slow in battling the Celestial Net Dao Sect, how can you waste your lifespan?"

The pavilion’s atmosphere instantly solidified.

"Why not forget it?"

Wen Bin scratched his head, muttering: "Even if later we have a direct confrontation with the Celestial Net Dao Sect, I also don’t want Brother Li to waste his lifespan and damage his foundation."

Xu Xun likewise looked at Li Yunjing with a complex expression.

He hadn’t expected Li Yunjing to have such a spirit of sacrifice!

Xu Xun is a staunch supporter of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, and he considers his love for the sect, that he can offer his life for the sect, in this regard, he surpasses Li Yunjing!

But now he wavered.

Li Yunjing seems to care about the sect just as deeply?

"That’s right! Li Yunjing can serve as the Vice Sect Leader because he’s passed strict scrutiny! How could he not be loyal to the sect with this status?"

Xu Xun thought to himself.

"It’s decided!"

Li Yunjing, however, shook his head to dissent: "Xu Xun, wait here for me! I will meet with the Five Elements Master, and after our discussion, we will head to that undersea deep palace!"

"Alright!"

Xu Xun clenched his fist, knuckles white, said solemnly: "I’ll personally take you there!"

Returning represents experiencing danger again!

But since Li Yunjing isn’t afraid, what right does he have to retreat?

Xu Xun does not want to be underestimated by Li Yunjing at this time.

"Brother Li! You don’t want to reconsider?"

Wen Bin stood up, reaching out, wanting to further persuade.

"It’s fine! I have plenty of lifespan! I’ve cultivated for less than fifty years! Even if I waste a hundred or two hundred years, so what?"

Li Yunjing laughed boldly, saying a sentence that left everyone speechless.
