Zhang nodded in agreement with Elder Han's words, saying, "The Chongxuan Sect disciples also used to be reluctant to live on this Divine Fire Mountain. The caves above, there weren't so many..."

...

Zheng Fa used the Void Spirit Eye to carefully survey this Divine Fire Mountain.

He also discovered a problem:

The mist in the caves was by no means ordinary moisture; it could even block the Spirit Eye and Divine Soul.

Most of the caves at the foot of the mountain showed signs of recent excavation, evidently newly established, with cultivators moving about inside.

Just as Zhang had said, it was likely these Chongxuan Sect disciples had just moved here.

What concerned him even more was that the thing atop the mountain faintly caused his Nascent Soul to quiver.

Zheng Fa took a closer look and found it was the Yin Yang Jade Pendant in his Sea of Consciousness surging.

Clearly, there was something on this Divine Fire Mountain that even the Jade Pendant dreaded.

"Could it be that due to the looming Great Freedom Demon Tribulation, the Chongxuan Sect got scared and thought living on the mountain would be safer?"

Xiao Yuying speculated.

"That's a possibility..." Zheng Fa murmured, but then glanced at the mist that stirred his Divine Soul and frowned, "I keep wondering why the Chongxuan Sect is so confident and fearless..."

Frankly speaking, this matter made him quite apprehensive.

In a situation where Zheng Fa demonstrated his Dao Fruit strength and even the Five Sects retreated, why was the Chongxuan Sect brazenly rebelling?

Could it be that Haori Mountain dared to send Dao Fruit cultivators to support Chongxuan Sect?

The possibility was actually not high.

On one hand, the alliance of the six sects still held some sway, prohibiting the Dao Fruit cultivators of the six sects from fighting each other.

On the other hand, if Haori Mountain was truly so ruthless, blatantly ignoring the alliance, why bother being so secretive?

Now looking at the bizarre Chongxuan Sect mountain gate, he had an even worse premonition.

They hadn't hidden their movements much, yet the Chongxuan Sect showed no reaction...

This was even stranger.

One should know that while he was currently at most at the Nascent Soul stage and wasn't intentionally hiding, even if Haori Mountain had Dao Fruit methods, those Divinity Transformation Real Persons should have detected their arrival.

Yet here atop the mountain, not a peep was heard.

After hearing his doubts, everyone exchanged glances. Zhang furrowed her brow and said, "Junior Brother, do you mean... they're waiting for us to attack?"

"I always feel it's like that."

From the start, the Chongxuan Sect had behaved too conspicuously and strangely.

This even made Xie Qingxue furrow her brow, finding the situation tricky.

If they didn't attack, they naturally couldn't be at ease.

But attacking, they feared falling into a trap.

Zheng Fa pondered for a while and then addressed everyone: "I have an idea..."

Zhang and the others all looked at him.

Zheng Fa secretly transmitted his scheme to them.

"You want to infiltrate the Chongxuan Sect? No way!"

Zhang was unexpectedly the first to oppose.

Even Xie Qingxue and the others showed disapproval on their faces.

Clearly, in their eyes, Zheng Fa was taking quite a risk.

Actually, Zheng Fa had hesitated about this.

But for now, he couldn't think of a better plan, and besides...

"Senior Sister, I have the 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation,' my transformations are unmatched, and I also have the Five-Colored Divine Light. Even without the Fusang Wood, I should have no trouble escaping."

He whispered.

If not for having the 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation,' he wouldn't have considered this plan, but with it mimicking the 'Great Freedom True Skill,' even fooling Blood River Ancestor, this certainly gave him more confidence.

Yet, Zhang still shook her head, unlike her usual gentle demeanor: "I would rather directly attack Chongxuan Sect than let you act like this."

She looked coldly at Zheng Fa, seemingly angry.

Zheng Fa understood Zhang's worry, but the aura atop Chongxuan Sect's mountain made him very concerned.

However, Xiao Yuying spoke up: "If you want absolute certainty, I have a way."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yuying hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and took off a blue pearl from around her neck, handing it to Zheng Fa.

"This is..."

"This is the Canghai Pearl. If you're in danger, you can..." Xiao Yuying transmitted the pearl's method of use to Zheng Fa and added, "At that time, someone will assist in your escape, and even within the Five Sects, there's a chance of survival."

Zheng Fa's eyes widened.

He fully understood; this was Xiao Yuying's life-saving trump card—the Shaking People Technique.

Moreover, based on Xiao Yuying's words, it's clear her Master excels at rescue techniques.

Xiao Yuying cautioned again: "My Master is currently recuperating, unless it's a dire situation..."

She paused, then suddenly changed her mind:

"Forget it, if you feel it's wrong, don't hesitate."

"I'll explain to my Master myself."

Zheng Fa felt touched hearing this.

Xiao Yuying was truly generous with her trump card!

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yuying chuckled softly:

"I can't... lose your worthiness."

...

Seven days later, Zheng Fa, with an unremarkable and honest face, Canghai Pearl hanging on his chest, boldly walked into Chongxuan Sect.

Although the Chongxuan Sect was now hiding on Divine Fire Mountain, the lower-level disciples still needed to eat and drink.

This mountain, barren at a glance, required people to go down to purchase supplies.

They captured a supply-gathering disciple.

This disciple was named Li Hao, at the Golden Core stage, and most importantly, he was the sixth disciple of Chongxuan Sect's Second Elder, though not highly regarded.

His status in the sect wasn't high nor conspicuous, but he did have access to some secrets.

His cultivation technique and memories were all clearly understood by Zheng Fa.

He now emanated the aura of Chongxuan Sect's True Inheritance Technique, 'Burning Heaven Great Method.'

Changing appearances was a minor task, but altering the Divine Soul still relied on the Secret Technique of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

Back when Chen Ting impersonated Zhang, it took Zheng Fa and his group a long time to see through it. Now with Zheng Fa using 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation' to perform that Secret Technique, the effect was quite impressive—
