Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

The old woodcutter found a suitable big tree and began to chop down the tree with his hatchet.

It's just that he looked left and right from time to time, sizing up his surroundings, with that absent-minded look, and he didn't look like a real woodcutter.

What's more important is that Zhao Mu actually sensed the fluctuation of mana in this person's body, and it was the fluctuation of the cultivation level of the Yuan Shen realm.

"Monk?"

Zhao Mu's heart moved, and his body disappeared directly on the spot.

A dignified monk in the Yuan Shen Realm actually pretended to be a woodcutter here for no apparent reason. His behavior was anything but simple.

At this moment, a stream of light appeared on the horizon and quickly fell in the valley, revealing the figure of a woman.

"Zhou Yuniang, what is she doing here?" Zhao Mu was stunned.

That woman was none other than Zhou Yuniang, who should have left with the Demon Cult.

"Yu Niang, you are finally here. Do you know how long I have been waiting for you here?"

The old woodcutter's face was no longer as honest as before, but instead full of viciousness.

"My lord, please forgive me. The people from the Demon Sect were all together just now. It was inconvenient for me to leave, so I wasted time."

Zhou Yuniang cupped her hands and said.

The old woodcutter's name was Chu Sanhuang, and he was sent by Lieyang's court to be responsible for the secret agent Zhou Yuniang.

"Hmph, you do know how to find a reason."

Chu Sanhuang put down the hatchet and stepped forward, staring at Zhou Yuniang with a pair of old eyes: "Yu Niang, the court is very dissatisfied with you. I believe you should be very clear about this."

"A long time ago, the imperial court issued an order for you to investigate the backers behind the Demon Cult, but you have never been able to get a single clue."

"On the contrary, now, the Shenyue Saint Clan jumped out on its own and caught the court by surprise. Even the ancestors were hit hard by this."

"All of this was caused by your failure to provide timely information. Do you know your guilt?"

A hint of undetectable anger flashed in Zhou Yuniang's eyes.

But she did not explode. Instead, she handed over her hand again and said, "My lord, please forgive me. It's not that Yu Niang is not trying her best. It's because the Demon Sect has blocked the information about the Shenyue Saint Clan too tightly."

"In the entire demon sect, only the leader Gu Xingshang knows about the Shenyue Saint Clan. Even the thirteen demon leaders know nothing about it."

"I'm still making excuses. Incompetence is incompetence. What's the use of saying this?"

Chu Sanhuang hummed: "Yu Niang, after all, you were born in the Ziwei Dao Sect. When the four major sects defected five hundred years ago, the court should have killed you."

"But the imperial court did not touch you. Instead, it still reused you and gave you the opportunity to serve the imperial court. This is His Majesty's kindness. You should be grateful."

"But how do you do it?"

"I asked you to investigate the demon sect's backers, but you still made no progress. If I hadn't put in a good word for you, you would have been charged long ago."

"Thank you, sir, for taking responsibility for Yu Niang." Zhou Yu Niang thanked her.

"It's good to know that I am responsible for you."

Chu Sanhuang licked his lips, and a look of color suddenly appeared on his face: "Haha, Yu Niang, actually I also know that you have tried your best on some things, but the problem is that some people in the court are targeting you."

"But this problem is not impossible to solve. Have you thought clearly about my proposal last time?"

His old eyes were shining and he stared at Zhou Yuniang.

Zhou Yuniang frowned, feeling full of disgust, knowing exactly what this old guy was planning.

This Chu Sanhuang is an old pervert. It is said that he has forced his female spies to serve him more than once.

But this man not only had great power, but also had the status of a royal family, so the higher-ups turned a blind eye to what he did.

Zhou Yuniang originally thought that her position was important to the court, and this old man should not dare to blatantly attack her.

But after all, she still underestimated the old man's lust.

The last time we met, this old guy actually directly proposed that Zhou Yuniang serve him, and even threatened Zhou Yuniang to make Zhou Yuniang think about it. It was really disgusting.

Seeing that Zhou Yuniang didn't answer, Chu Sanhuang's face showed a hint of displeasure.

He hummed: "Why, haven't you thought it through yet? It doesn't matter. I have the patience to wait for you. After all, you are different from other women."

"By the way, you have been given a new order from above, asking you to investigate the details of the Shenyue Saint Clan in the Demon Sect. Remember, there must be news about this matter within three months, otherwise you should know what the consequences will be."

"Of course, if you think about that matter clearly, if things go wrong, I can still help you take care of it. Everything depends on your own choice."

Three months?

Since the Demon Sect has been able to conceal information about its backers for many years.

So now, I am afraid that it will not be possible to figure out the details of the Shenyue Saint Clan in just three months.

When Chu Sanhuang said this, he was basically forcing Zhou Yuniang to compromise.

Seeing the old man turn and leave, Zhou Yuniang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but she still held back.

The valley became quiet, and Zhou Yuniang was about to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind: "What did the imperial court think that it would find such a person to be your supervisor?"

The sudden sound frightened Zhou Yuniang.

She turned around quickly, and when she saw the person clearly, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Wan Yu, why are you here?"

"Haha, I happened to pass by and saw you in the valley, so I came down to take a look."

Zhao Mu glanced at the direction Chu Sanhuang left: "This person's thoughts are not right. Don't those in the court know clearly? Is it possible that sending this person to contact you will force you to completely surrender to the Demon Cult?"

"Who knows, maybe the court did it on purpose?"

"What do you mean, the court is using this person to test your loyalty?"

"Maybe."

Zhou Yuniang smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps in the eyes of the court, if I can still serve the court wholeheartedly under this person, I can truly prove my loyalty."

"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, I come from the Ziwei Dao Sect, so naturally I cannot be trusted by the court. And since I defected from the four major sects and entered the Eternal Galaxy, this distrust has become even heavier."

"For the past five hundred years, the imperial court has been trying every means to test my loyalty."

"I guess the big shots in the court are also very conflicted. They don't trust me, but they have to use me. It's ridiculous to say it."

Her eyes were full of ridicule, and she didn't know whether she was mocking her own situation or the entanglements of those big shots.

"Back then, you said that you wanted to use the Demonic Cult as a stepping stone for you to advance in the imperial court. It seems that things have not gone smoothly these years."

Zhao Mu randomly found a big rock and sat down, and asked: "How about it, do you hate the Ziwei Dao Sect? After all, they entered the Eternal Galaxy and didn't take you away."

"I can't talk about hatred. In fact, the master came to me in advance and asked me to go with him, but I refused."

"After all, I have always known that the relatively laid-back sect is not suitable for me. Only the turbulent court is the place I really like."

Zhou Yuniang's eyes glowed with a cold light: "What I want is the supreme authority from the beginning to the end, and it has never changed."
