“In short, don’t act rashly. Although the Dragon City Talisman is precious, it is not worth taking such a risk for. Some of these hermit-like experts have strange tempers and don’t do things according to common sense. Pay close attention to those two girls but do it in secret. If there is any news, inform me immediately.”

Xie Rengui slowly closed his eyes as he tapped the surface of the table with his fingertips as though he was thinking about something. Yun Pengqing got up to leave. In reality, he suspected that the mysterious person that saved them in the forest last time was related to the incident with the Dragon City Talisman.

He had inferred that if the two low-level disciples had any relationship with the mysterious black shadow, it would explain a lot of things.

“Oh, by the way, Sect Leader, I remembered something,” Yun Pengqing suddenly turned and said as he walked to the door, seemingly remembering something.

“Did you want to mention the youth that Su Wan’er rescued a few days ago?” Xie Rengui slowly opened his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yun Pengqing was stunned. He inwardly praised the Sect Leader for finding out about this so quickly. The sect leader’s ability was indeed far greater than his own.

“That youth is too young to be responsible. By rights, even if he practiced ancient martial arts, his cultivation would not be too high. There are many geniuses in this world, but youths that powerful are few.” Xie Rengui shook his head. The possibility of the youth being the mysterious black shadow was too low.

“But my investigation has found that the two little girls have had no special encounters these past few days. The only thing they did was save that youth,” Yun Pengqing said as he frowned. The lives of the low-level disciples were very peaceful every day, constantly following a regular cycle. The only interlude was Su Wan’er saving the youth. If there were no issues with this youth, then Yun Pengqing could not think of any other reason.

“I’ve also sent people to watch over this youth. It might not be him, but we cannot eliminate the possibility that it is connected to him,” Xie Rengui said.

“Sect Leader, I’m afraid that this incident will cause some people to turn. After all, two Dragon City Talismans are too precious. You are also aware that last time when we headed to the Huatian Palace to exchange items for the Dragon City Talisman, only us five elders, Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang knew, but the news of it was still leaked...” Yun Pengqing suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

“Are you saying that there is a mole?” A cold look flashed in Xie Rengui’s eyes.

After the incident occurred last time, the Five Tigers Sect had constantly searched for the mole internally, but to no avail. Actually, everyone understood that the spy was certainly one of just a few people in the sect. But finding the person was not easy.

It was impossible for Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang to be the mole because they had only received the mission at the last moment. Also, Yun Pengqing and Wang He had kept an eye on the two of them along the way. They had almost no chance of leaking the news at all. As for the remaining five of them, aside from sect leader Xie Rengui who could be excluded, the other four were all still suspects.

Even Yun Pengqing and Wang He who had participated in the mission were suspects. There was no evidence to prove that the two of them were not moles. As long as they could not be proven innocent, they could be the spy.

The four of them were all Sect Grand Elders and they all held prestigious positions in the sect. This meant that they could not use many methods to investigate them. Finding out the mole’s identity would not be an easy task.

Yun Pengqing was worried that if the mole knew about the two Dragon City Talismans, they would come up with an evil plan to get their hands on them.

“Pengqing, do you know why I asked you to protect the two little girls?” Xie Rengui asked plainly.

“I understand.” A warm look flashed in Yun Pengqing’s eyes. The sect leader clearly trusted him, so he had asked him to protect them.

.......

Late at night, Mo Wen sat crossed-legged on his wooden bed. The moon outside shone on his face through the open window, causing his entire body to appear calmer and colder.

Suddenly, he frowned. He glanced out of the window and then lay down on the bed as though nothing had happened. He closed his eyes and his breathing instantly became slow, even and deep, as though he had fallen into a deep sleep.

A faint shadow flashed past the window and silently entered the wooden house. The silhouette initially stood there motionless in the room, just quietly watching Mo Wen who was on the bed. Only after fifteen minutes did the person walk up to the bed. The figure extended their hand and, with a motion swifter than a thunderclap, grabbed at Mo Wen’s throat.

However, Mo Wen did not respond at all and continued to breathe steadily and deeply.

The black shadow’s hand reached out and then retracted. There was a look of incredulity in the person’s eyes. After a short while, the silhouette moved with a flash and exited through the window.

Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes and gazed out the window with an expressionless look on his face.

“Trying to test me in the middle of the night? That person’s Inner Qi waves seem similar to the two Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders from that day. He is most likely from the Five Tigers Sect. Could it be that the members of the Five Tigers Sect are already suspicious of me?”

Mo Wen knew that, after the incident in the forest, the Five Tigers Sect would certainly investigate what had happened. However, he had not imagined that they would actually investigate him. How had they made the connection? The imagination of the Five Tigers Sect was obviously rather vivid.

Since he was under suspicion, Mo Wen would not stay in the Five Tigers Sect any longer. He needed peace and quiet. He did not want to be involved in the affairs of these ancient martial arts sects.

The next morning, Mo Wen left early and prepared to head over to Wan’er’s little wooden house. He at least had to say goodbye before he left.

Also, he liked this little girl Wan’er very much. He had really wanted to teach her medicine. That being said, Mo Wen was not a qualified doctor. He did not have such kindness. The reason why he had learned medicine was because he grew up in an ancient medical family, and it was the craft that they had practiced for generations. If he had not been raised in an ancient medical family, he might not necessarily have learned medicine.

In Mo Wen’s eyes, the Way of the Immortal was his greatest pursuit. Only by becoming immortal could he live as long as the heavens and the earth and share in the glory of the sun and moon. No matter how high his medical skills were, they could not make him immortal and indestructible.

If a person like Mo Wen was born into a family of immortal cultivators, he would certainly be a hero of their time.

Wan’er had the heart to practice medicine to help people. Only by passing on his medical skills to her could they shine the brightest. Also, Mo Wen needed a disciple, a person who could cause the medical skills of the Mo Clan to flourish. The Mo Clan was an ancient medical family with a thousand years of heritage. Even having come to this world, Mo Wen did not want that heritage to die out.

Of course, if Wan’er wanted to become his disciple, she had to first pass his test. In terms of her morality, there were no issues. However, the same could not be said of her ability. If she did not have the talent and had difficulty becoming a person of outstanding ability, Mo Wen would not pass on his medical skills to her.

When Mo Wen walked up to Wan’er and Wang Qian’s wooden house, he discovered that the wooden house was completely empty and slightly messy. Wan’er’s character should have made it impossible for her not to have cleaned up before leaving the house unless she left in a hurry and had no time.

“Where did they run off to so early in the morning?”

Mo Wen felt something peculiar must be going on. By rights, at this hour, Wan’er should still be in the house.

His deified soul swept out, enveloping the entire mountain peak in an instant. But he still could not locate Wan’er’s whereabouts. However, he accidentally discovered that the valley below seemed to be rather lively. Many people had gathered. From their auras, he could tell that these people had high cultivation. There were already more than a dozen Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners gathered.

“Could it be that something has happened to the Five Tigers Sect?”

Mo Wen frowned. He had investigated these matters before. The Five Tigers Sect only had five Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. However, today more than a dozen had appeared. Clearly, not all of them were members of the Five Tigers Sect.

Mo Wen extended his deified soul in one direction. Although the distance was rather far, he managed to cover the area of the valley below.

“How dare they!”

Mo Wen’s expression instantly turned grim. With a flash of his silhouette, he disappeared from his original spot.

....

Numerous disciples that were dressed in the Five Tigers Sect attire had gathered in the square of the Five Tigers Sect, which was located in the middle of the valley

In the middle of the square stood two crosses that were three meters tall. Two people were tied to the crosses.

They were both young maidens. The elder one was slightly older than twenty. The younger one was only fourteen or fifteen years old. They were none other than Wang Qian and Su Wan’er.

Their hands and feet were tightly tied to the crosses with metal chains. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and their clothes were drenched in blood.

Two tall and muscular guys held whips in their hands. The whips slashed through the air and landed on the maidens’ bodies.

A chair made of jade and adorned with dragon patterns was placed at one side of the square. An elder sat poised on it, with a cup of hot tea in his hand. He stared expressionlessly at Wang Qian and Su Wan’er.

There were a few people standing on both sides of the elder. The person who was closest to him was a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in silk and jewelry. She was none other than Fu Yu, the young madam of the Five Tigers Sect. Right now, she showed no sign of arrogance, standing beside the elder respectfully.

On the other side of the elder stood another elder. This elder had a sullen expression and his gaze was ruthless, as though it was the gaze of a venomous snake. He was Cheng Zongping, the Baili Sect Sect Grand Elder.

Cheng Zongping looked even crueler now than he had the other day. He looked like a fuming volcano that was about to explode.

There was a stretcher in the square. It was covered with a cloth. There seemed to be a corpse lying on the stretcher.

“Su Wan’er, Wang Qian, do you b*tches admit your crime?” Fu Yu coldly shouted. She stared at the two people in the square with utmost arrogance.

Wan’er bit down on her lip and said nothing. Lashes landed on her continuously, but she refused to speak. She had not done anything wrong at all. Why would she plead guilty?

Wang Qian was lashed until she kept screaming out loudly in pain. Her face and body were covered in blood. Pain burrowed deep into her heart, but she only clenched their teeth and refused to lower her head.

“Whip them. Whip them hard. Whip them until they admit their crime.”

Fu Yu’s expression was very ugly. These two little b*tches were actually much more stubborn than she had expected.

Around the square, many Five Tigers Sect disciples had gathered, but not one of them dared to step forward and speak up.

“Sect Leader Yang, what is the meaning of this? This is the Five Tigers Sect, not the Baili Sect.” Yun Pengqing stood in the square. His expression was furious. He was about to explode, and his eyes flared up in rage.

The person who was sitting on the chair adorned with dragon patterns was none other than the Baili Sect sect leader, Yang Gongcheng, the one known as the number one expert in the Taihang Mountains.

That morning, Yang Gongcheng had brought a group of Baili Sect experts and infiltrated the Five Tigers Sect, capturing Su Wan’er and Wang Qian. Yun Pengqing had been ordered to protect them, but, alone, he could not stop the Baili Sect at all. Even right now, there were two Embryonic Breathing Realm members of the Baili Sect standing on either side of him. If he moved, they would immediately force him back.
