"Our nest is in the Black Tortoise Kingdom."

"Just three years ago, we collaborated with the Emperor of the Black Tortoise Kingdom to infiltrate the Zhou Dynasty. The goal was to create chaos within the Zhou Dynasty, allowing the Emperor of the Black Tortoise Kingdom to seize the Zhou Dynasty's territory."

"Coincidentally, two years ago, the Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty found us and wanted our help in ascending to the throne..."

Wang Hai revealed an important piece of information.

The Black Tortoise Kingdom borders the Zhou Kingdom.

Both countries are similar in size, whether it's the imperial dynasty, the people, the land, the finances, or the quality of cultivators and sects.

Previously, the two countries had exchanges, but five years ago, a young and ambitious scion of the imperial dynasty ascended to the throne of the Black Tortoise Kingdom, and the relationship between the two countries deteriorated with many frictions between them.

This scion even wanted to annex the Zhou Kingdom.

Now is the time of turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty, and he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble.

Because no matter what force it is, external enemies may be terrifying, but they can never compare to internal divisions.

However, this guy indeed used some unscrupulous means, actually collaborating with demonic cultivators. The Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty probably doesn't know the truth; he simply wants to cooperate with the demonic cultivators to help himself ascend to the throne.

And then discard the demonic cultivators.

He even plans to kill all the demonic cultivators, as it is an unsightly matter.

But this Crown Prince didn't expect.

He thought he was using others, but in reality, he was also being used.

"...Our gathering place is an ancient temple passed down from before ancient times. It is hidden deep underground and moves periodically. The area around the temple is filled with our eye masks. Whenever a cultivator approaches, we immediately hide..."

"There are about three hundred demonic cultivators, and the strongest among them is our leader, Heavenly Demon Daoist."

Wang Hai continued speaking.

"What?"

The hot-tempered elder from the Mysterious Passage Sect was instantly shocked. He slammed the table and stood up, exclaiming, "Heavenly Demon Daoist, that old guy, is still alive? Our sect's founder died at his hands. It has been nearly ten thousand years, and he's still around!"

"Calm down, Elder," Wang Long waved his hand, and Murong Ye also gave the elder a signal with her eyes. The elder could only clench his fists, grit his teeth, and sit back down, suppressing his anger.

"We have been secretly in contact with the Nether Beast Sect. They provide us with the necessary resources, and we act as their enforcers, helping them solve some problems and troubles."

Wang Hai mentioned another sect.

The Nether Beast Sect.

Chen Daoxuan was very familiar with this sect.

Although they didn't follow the path of demonic cultivation, they did similar disgusting things like the Endless Pleasure Sect.

But it was unexpected that they also had cooperation with demonic cultivators.

But upon careful consideration, it made sense.

One is a bunch of flies, and the other is a pile of feces. They are naturally attracted to each other.

"Where is Heavenly Demon Daoist now?" Chen Daoxuan suddenly asked.

When the others heard Chen Daoxuan's question, they were slightly surprised. After all, everyone present was a sect leader or elder, and Chen Daoxuan was invited because he had been involved in this matter before.

Normally, it should be the sect leader who asks the questions.

But no one said anything.

This was indeed a question they all wanted to know the answer to.

"Now we are within the borders of Zhou Kingdom, but we don't know exactly where."

Wang Hai answered truthfully.

"I know where he is."

Chen Daoxuan's words were like a stone, heavily crashing onto the already turbulent water surface, instantly causing a tsunami of attention. Everyone's gaze turned towards him.

"Chen Daoxuan, this matter is not to be taken lightly. You must not speak recklessly."

Murong Ye furrowed his brows slightly.

"For such a significant matter, I naturally won't speak recklessly. Heavenly Demon Daoist should be by the side of the Crown Prince now."

Chen Daoxuan recalled the words Tang Youran had said to him earlier. The expert who suddenly appeared by the Crown Prince's side was very likely this Heavenly Demon Daoist.

Chen Daoxuan also understood the seriousness of this matter.

With Heavenly Demon Daoist present, the Crown Prince would definitely be able to ascend the throne. At that time, Heavenly Demon Daoist would control the Crown Prince and make him a puppet.

There was no need to think further, everyone knew how terrifying this matter was.

Chen Daoxuan repeated everything he had thought in his mind.

The expressions of the crowd instantly changed drastically.

If this was true, then the entire dynasty would become the puppet of the demonic cultivators. With the supreme power of the dynasty, they could obtain an endless supply of cultivation resources and an inexhaustible population.

The dynasty was so vast.

No one knew how many criminals were executed every year.

They would use the power of the dynasty to secretly capture innocent people, and it was extremely difficult to uncover such matters.

"This matter is too significant. We must investigate thoroughly before taking action, otherwise, it could easily lead to a great disaster."

Wang Long carefully pondered.

Wang Long did not doubt Chen Daoxuan's words. Even though they were not from the same sect, they were at least on the same side against the demonic cultivators. Moreover, Chen Daoxuan had killed three demonic cultivators and captured Wang Hai, which had already put him in opposition to the demonic cultivators.

"That's right."

Murong Ye also nodded secretly, clenching his fists slightly. "But this matter is urgent. We don't have much time left."

"How strong is Heavenly Demon Daoist?"

Wang Long asked.

"I have never seen Heavenly Demon Daoist make a move since I joined the demonic cultivators. But I have heard that Heavenly Demon Daoist has long reached the Nascent Soul stage. As for the exact strength, we don't know. It's even possible that he has already reached the Soul Formation stage."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically once again.

If it was the Nascent Soul stage, even if it was Nascent Soul Great Perfection, they could still barely contend. After all, three sect leaders killing one Nascent Soul cultivator still had a certain degree of certainty, especially with so many helpers around.

But...

If it was the Soul Formation stage, then it would be troublesome. It would be difficult to find a Soul Formation expert in the entire country!

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely oppressive. They now had a clear answer, knowing that there was a huge bomb buried in the dynasty, ready to explode at any moment. The consequences would be extremely severe, but their strength was insufficient.

"If he is really a Soul Formation expert, why would he stay in this place?"

Wang Long was somewhat puzzled.

Soul Formation was a realm that only a few could reach in this world. Perhaps only one out of ten thousand people could achieve it. People like this had a very firm path of seeking the Dao, even for demonic cultivators.

Although the surrounding countries were vast, they were relatively remote compared to the entire continent, and the resources were completely insufficient.

Why would such a person stay here?

He should go to the more abundant resources in the Central Plains.
