"I naturally know about it."

Mentioning the Yanling Sect, even Gua Chen's expression changed slightly: "The Yanling Sect uses Demon Race's bodies, essence blood, etc., to transform their own bodies and bloodlines, thereby enhancing their strength."

Gua Chen's first words made Yuan Mou and Yuan Lue realize a problem.

The collaboration between the Yanling Sect and the Demon Race hasn't just started now; it has been ongoing for a long time.

Otherwise, the essence blood from Yanling Sect and the bodies of Demon Beasts from the Demon Race wouldn't be obtainable just by relying on the Yanling Sect alone.

Yuan Mou's eyes narrowed, and imperceptibly, an overwhelming aura reverberated from Yuan Mou's body.

Unbeknownst to them, the Yanling Sect and the Demon Race were collaborating, and for so long, it was like a slap in the face to the Yanling Sect, a slap to the ten major sects of Spirit Star!

"Our Tianji Sect had previously done statistics on some issues within the Yanling Sect, but nothing was conclusive. Yet the Tianji Sect discovered that many sects, families, and even some among the ten major sects had indeed collaborated with the Yanling Sect."

"Collaboration?"

Yuan Mou slightly frowned.

He didn't know why, but upon hearing this from Gua Chen, Yuan Mou felt something even more ominous.

"What kind of collaboration?"

Yuan Mou asked again.

"Selling essence blood, among other things. Although in the Yanling Sect's words, it's contributing to these sects, all used within these sects. But the key issue is, this is the Yanling Sect's narrative; the actions are also executed by the Yanling Sect."

"Other sects don't know the Yanling Sect's complete procedure, only knowing their desired results can be achieved."

Yuan Mou's expression changed time and again.

Yuan Lue also sensed something amiss.

Gradually, the Sect Master of Tianji Sect stopped speaking, but his brows were deeply furrowed, no longer displaying the previous calm demeanor akin to clouds and cranes.

"Let's go! Follow me, everyone who has given essence blood to Tianji Sect, follow me for an investigation!"

Tomorrow was supposed to be the day Yuan Mou and Yuan Lue, along with the other Elders of Yuanling Sect, rotated duties. They weren't supposed to leave Yuanling Sect.

But now.

They couldn't care about that anymore.

If they continued to stay at Yuanling Sect, let alone the Earth Star side, Spirit Star might disappear directly before those chaotic enemies even appear.

"Now?"

The Sect Master of Heaven's Horizon Sect was a bit dazed.

He had come here intending to discuss issues with Yuan Mou and Yuan Lue, not expecting an immediate problem that needed handling before Tianji Sect made any arrangements.

"Yes, right now."

Yuan Mou tried his best to calm himself: "I can anticipate that the Yanling Sect's machinations are more severe than we imagined. If we don't hastily resolve these issues, Spirit Star will face problems ahead."

"About Tianji Sect..."

Yuan Mou glanced at the Sect Master of Tianji Sect, Gua Chen: "Consider if there are sect disciples in your Tianji Sect who have given essence blood to Yanling Sect, using it for certain purposes?"

"I'm not sure."

Gua Chen sighed.

After all, Tianji Sect's role has been constantly gathering intelligence, and all they require from sect disciples is absolute loyalty.

And moral integrity.

But as for what other actions the disciples in Tianji Sect took, Tianji Sect didn't interfere.

It was different from Yuanling Sect.

In Yuanling Sect, due to it being the foremost sect of Spirit Star, there were strict requirements for the disciples' usage of essence blood.

The essence blood contained many elements.

Sometimes, by giving the essence blood to others, those individuals could even deduce your weaknesses during combat from the essence blood.

This was why, in Dragon City, the people of the Long Family, despite having no offspring, never recklessly provided their essence blood to Yanling Sect.

After speaking.

Gua Chen's complexion instantly changed.

"Let's go, check out Tianji Sect first!"

Yuan Mou called out, and the group instantly vanished from their original location.

...

Tianji Sect.

A sect disciple was practicing.

He was a disciple of Tianji Sect. Previously, he learned that if the Yanling Sect received a drop of essence blood, it could extract memories and temporarily restore someone deeply missed from his heart.

Though it was virtual.

But because this Tianji Sect disciple missed the person in his heart so much, he directly took one of his essence blood to Yanling Sect.

Suddenly.

During his practice, the Tianji Sect disciple's eyes snapped open, filled with a scarlet tint and uncontrollable killing intent. He glanced at the other disciples around him and charged towards them.

"Roar!"

A beast-like sound escaped his throat.

Even though the Tianji Sect disciple knew in his mind he shouldn't act this way, his body was already beyond control, and a voice within kept telling him:

Kill, kill, kill.

By killing enough people, the person buried in his memories could even emerge directly from his memory.

"Kill!"

Voices directly hypnotized this Tianji Sect disciple. Before another disciple from Tianji Sect could react, he was dealt with by the possessed disciple.

After all.

They were all fellow disciples.

They had been practicing together for over a hundred years.

In these hundred years, they interacted like family, having already dropped all guard against one another, completely absorbed in their training.

Perhaps hoping, in times of danger, that someone next to them could prompt them into awakening from the training.

Unexpectedly.

The danger came directly from nearby.

After killing one person, a figure akin to the person deeply missed appeared before the disciple, encouraging him for the next kill.

His face displayed even more greedy and sinister killing intent.

Just as the disciple planned to go outside and continue killing others, a sharp blade from above appeared and extinguished his life.

Above.

Gua Chen looked grim.

Yuan Mou and Yuan Lue's expressions weren't much better.
