BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 - 66: Accusation
Sunrise and sunset.
In order not to be noticed, Han Yi waited for an entire night before he got up and left quietly.
During this night, however, he gained something, and in his heart, he had made a decision.
As he leaped over the wall, he subtly paused before noticing the familiar spirit energy fluctuation in the courtyard again.
He also speculated about the Illusory Bead. If his guess was correct, the bead should be a special magical tool, and when combined with the mirror, it could transmit images and sounds at a distance.
As for why the Illusory Bead would emit weak spirit energy fluctuations from time to time, Han Yi didn’t know the magic principle behind it. After all, he was not a real immortal and couldn’t be all-knowing.
Han Yi kept a composed expression on his face all the way back to the courtyard, and after activating the formation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat down in his quiet room and reconsidered the things he needed to do next.
First of all, the prerequisite for doing this was to clear himself of any involvement. With his seventh level Qi Cultivation, he could not afford to get involved in the dark fight between the two sects.
Second, he must report the conspiracy. If he hadn’t stumbled upon it, it would have been fine to ignore it, but now that he knew, not reporting it would seem insincere. Moreover, in the long run, it would have an impact on him as well. If the Xuandan Sect fell, he would become a loose cultivator, losing his stable sect protection.
Han Yi had always believed in the value of staying under a big tree, so when it came to the survival of the Xuandan Sect, he would do his best to help as long as his safety was ensured.
Third, he needed to choose an appropriate method to report the situation to the sect, and after reporting it, the sect must take action instead of just letting it sink silently.
Based on these three points, Han Yi listed several possible methods.
The most direct way was to directly approach the sect leader, a Golden Core Supreme Elder, or a Foundation Establishment Elder. For example, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator who presided over the tower on Azure Dragon Peak, or Bai Wanqing, Luo Yunzhou’s master, whom he had met just yesterday.
As for the sect leader, Han Yi couldn’t reach him with his current status.
Meanwhile, he didn’t dare to risk reporting to a reachable Golden Core Supreme Elder or a Foundation Establishment Elder. It’s hard to know someone’s true intentions, and if they had secretly joined the Blood God Sect, he would be walking straight into a trap.
Han Yi carefully reviewed the people he had encountered since his arrival and dealings in the sect, trying to find the most appropriate method from his experiences.
A moment later, his eyes lit up.
“I’ve got it.”
“The place with the most secure identities in the whole Xuandan Sect should be the markets of the Inner and Outer Peaks.”
“The eighteen markets of the Outer Peak and the three markets of the Inner Peak can all be accessed through wearing masks and hiding one’s aura. Therefore, they are the best places to report this.”
“Among the heavier-weight options is the Inner Peak Market, namely, Red Sun, Over Sea, and White Tiger. Among them, I frequent the Red Sun the most. So, all I need to do is to make a trip to the Red Sun Market, and once I get there, I’ll just…”
With a clear direction in mind, Han Yi visualized in his mind what he would do after he arrived at the market. He thought through every detail, and then took out a piece of basic talisman paper left from his previous practice. On the paper, he wrote down the details of discovering the Blood God Sect’s traitors.
After writing, he got up, left the room, and headed down Azure Dragon Peak towards Red Sun Peak.
A moment later, Han Yi entered the Red Sun Market, put on a mask, and concealed his energy before strolling through the market.
The market not only had private high-level shops like the Nine Dragons Shop, but also sect-owned shops like the Profound Immortal Pill Shop and the Profound Fire Pill Shop. There were also some associations jointly established by Qi Cultivation ninth-stage disciples, as well as private stalls selling pills, magical tools, spiritual talismans, array plates, and more.
Furthermore, after the Inner Peak Tournament, the atmosphere of private transactions in the sect became more intense. The number of people in the market was at least twice as many as before the war with the Blood God Sect.
This was the first time Han Yi had strolled around the entire Red Sun Market, as he had always been focused on his goals and had never wasted any time exploring it before.
After going around one time, Han Yi became thoroughly familiar with the market’s layout and went straight to the center of the market.
The Inner and Outer Peak markets were both established on a designated area within the peaks and naturally managed by the sect. However, the sect only managed the safety and order of the market and did not interfere with its operations.
At the center of the square stood a nine-story tower; this tower was established by the sect to maintain the safety of the square.
And Han Yi learned that every day, there were three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators stationed here.
His destination this time was this tower. To be more precise, it was the three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators in this tower.
As he walked in front of the tower, Han Yi suddenly took out an ordinary flying dagger from his storage bag, with a talisman attached to the tail of the dagger.
Then he suddenly threw it, and with a swish, the flying dagger broke through the gate and went straight in.
Even if it was just Basic Talisman Paper, its toughness was beyond normal and it wouldn’t be torn apart by this simple throw.
In the meantime, as he threw the flying dagger, Han Yi quickly shifted along the streets of the square, changing his course and lastly avoiding suspicion by stepping into the Jiu Long Store.
At the moment he left, a doubtful voice suddenly rang out behind him, “Who dares to provoke our Red Sun Fang?”
“Huh?”
Then the voice disappeared, but there were three Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator auras rising to the sky, covering the entire square.
Upon entering the Jiu Long Store, Han Yi appeared composed, but in fact, his heart was slightly nervous.
He didn’t want to be discovered, fearing that there might be a spy from the Blood God Sect among the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators of the Xuandan Sect.
But if he were truly discovered, he would have no choice but to be honest and expose everything.
Moreover, most importantly, if discovered, he would not believe that all three of those Stationary Foundation Establishment Stages in the square belonged to the Blood God Sect; as long as there was one of them who wasn’t, at least his safety could be guaranteed.
This was why he chose the tower as his target.
As it turned out,
Han Yi thought too much.
Even if Blood God Sect had infiltrated Xuandan Sect, their chances of success were sparse, especially at the Foundation Establishment stage, where they progressed from the outer peak step by step to the inner peak and then gradually grow up.
In just three breaths of time, those three terrifying auras belonging to the Foundation Establishment Stage had already been withdrawn, and the entire Red Sun Fang regained its calm.
“Huh, why did the three elders come out?”
“Could it be that someone was robbing a cultivator within the square?”
He Fangwei was slightly surprised.
Since he had been assigned as the shopkeeper and has been in charge of Red Sun Fang’s Jiu Long Store, this was the first time he had seen the three Foundation Establishment Elders who were stationed in the square come out all together to release their aura and cover the entire square, so he couldn’t help but be amazed.
However, within three breaths of time, those three heart-stirring auras disappeared.
“Strange, really strange.”
He Fangwei shook his head, knowing that it was about the Foundation Establishment Elders’ time and was certainly not in a position to make any judgment on his own.
“Oh right, Daoist friend, would you like to sell some pills recently?”
“Or is it the Gold and Silver Pill?”
He Fangwei’s eyes fell on Han Yi, who entered the store, and shone slightly.
Han Yi’s nervousness in his heart eased a bit with the converge of the three auras outside, but he still didn’t dare to let his guard down. Seeing He Fangwei asking, he casually replied, “No, this time I’m here mainly to buy some materials..”
