Chapter 575: Chapter 574: Doubts

Yiyi truly didn’t know the route to the Divine Medicine Sect, so Xing Chuan was leading the way from the front.

Pei Jin quietly approached Yiyi’s side and said, "Young Master, is this person reliable?" He felt an oppressive aura from Xing Chuan, indicating that this person’s skills were formidable, possibly beyond his own. Although their Yin sect had three hundred people, the two hundred that Xing Chuan brought posed a significant threat, and he couldn’t guarantee he could protect the Young Master if something happened.

Upon hearing, Yiyi replied, "Don’t worry, I have a grasp of the situation."

Although she was encountering the Hidden Branch people for the first time, she had a good impression of Xing Chuan. Despite his cold demeanor, a trace of worry occasionally flashed through his eyes, showing that he was genuinely concerned about the Divine Medicine Sect’s Sect Leader, which was sufficient.

The group, all skilled, traveled fast and reached the foot of the Divine Medicine Sect’s mountain gate in half a day.

Looking at the majestic mountains in front, Pei Jin spoke from the side, "Young Master, we should investigate first, see what the situation inside is."

Before Yiyi could speak, Xing Chuan said, "Sir, I know a concealed entrance into the Divine Medicine Sect. We can enter directly through that hidden entry, but what the brother just said makes sense; we still don’t know the situation inside, it’s best to scout first, though they’re not familiar with the Divine Medicine Sect, I can send people to accompany them."

Yiyi nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, let’s find a place to rest, wait for them to return, and then decide on our actions."

Pei Jin couldn’t help but glance at Xing Chuan.

During this journey, he understood a bit about the Hidden Branch people. They were indeed skilled, but seeing their attitude towards the Young Master somewhat eased his mind. Their respectful demeanor towards the Young Master was no less than his, which was reassuring.

After some discussion, it was decided that Pei Jin would take several Yin sect disciples along with a few people dispatched by Xing Chuan to head directly to the Divine Medicine Sect.

Once Pei Jin and his group departed, Yiyi also settled down with her people but was still worried about them. The situation inside the Divine Medicine Sect was unknown, and it’s uncertain whether they would encounter danger.

Xing Chuan did not go along this time but sent the Hidden Branch’s Vice Leader to join them.

"Rest assured, Sir, Gusha’s skills are excellent. With him leading the group, there won’t be any problems in investigating the situation."

Upon hearing these words, Yiyi nodded and stopped pacing around aimlessly.

She had heard Xing Chuan mention Gusha a few times, knowing he was like Xing Chuan—taciturn and cold. Besides, his Kung Fu skills weren’t inferior to Xing Chuan’s; she wasn’t worried about their skills but couldn’t fully trust the Hidden Branch, hence her concern for Pei Jin and the others.

Fortunately, Pei Jin and his group soon returned, but their expressions weren’t good.

Seeing this, Yiyi asked, "Is the situation inside the Divine Medicine Sect not very good?"

Pei Jin nodded and said, "Young Master, the guard inside is very tight. It’s not easy for us to all get in."

Gusha’s expression also didn’t look good; his already cold face was even darker. Xing Chuan directly asked him, "Gusha, what exactly is the situation inside? Who is in power within the Divine Medicine Sect now?"

Gusha, being the Hidden Branch’s Vice Leader, understood the Divine Medicine Sect well along with Xing Chuan, knowing all those inside. He shook his head and said, "It’s entirely controlled by the Chi Yan Peak people; we didn’t even see the Zixia Peak and Qingyun Peak people. I suspect those two peaks’ members might have been controlled."

Upon hearing this, Xing Chuan’s face turned grim.

"Su Liuguang surely plans well, and his methods are good; he managed to control the entire Divine Medicine Sect in such a short time."

Finally, Xing Chuan asked Gusha, "Have you investigated the Alliance Hierarch’s situation?"

Gusha shook his head and said, "We haven’t inquired about the Alliance Hierarch’s situation, but no bad news has been heard, maybe the Alliance Hierarch wasn’t harmed."

Hearing this, Xing Chuan’s expression improved slightly, and he then turned to Yiyi and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Upon Xing Chuan’s words, Gusha frowned subtly, but no one noticed given his usually sparse expressions.

He actually didn’t have any sense of recognition for Yiyi. This young girl suddenly appeared before them with a Jade Token, even notifying them about the Divine Medicine Sect’s troubles, but her exact identity was uncertain. Now making them act entirely under her orders felt somewhat suffocating.

However, the girl showed her capability; otherwise, she wouldn’t have commanded Pei Jin and the others.

But because of Pei Jin and their presence, his concern regarding Yiyi’s identity grew more.

According to Pei Jin and the others, this young girl was the Young Master of their so-called Yin sect. If she belonged to another sect, why did she intervene in the Divine Medicine Sect’s affairs? This shouldn’t be the espionage of other sects trying to control them, right?

Rather than being ruled by outsiders, it would be better for the Chi Yan Peak’s Peak Master Su Liuguang to govern the Divine Medicine Sect.

Yet observing Xing Chuan’s attitude, he did not voice these thoughts.

Seeing Xing Chuan ask, Yiyi straightforwardly elaborated her plan.

"We’ll enter the Divine Medicine Sect in batches; you lead the search for the Sect Leader’s whereabouts, while Pei Jin and I will try to control the disciples of Chi Yan Peak."

Upon hearing this, Gusha couldn’t help but speak, "How do you plan to control the disciples of Chi Yan Peak? You should know they aren’t that easy to handle; don’t end up exposing all of us before controlling them."

"The Young Master has her reasoning; just follow orders and don’t waste words," Pei Jin retorted directly at seeing this.

"You..."

Gusha rarely spoke, and having said so much was already challenging. He couldn’t react swiftly to counter Pei Jin’s words now.

"Enough, now isn’t the time for internal disputes; let’s act separately, and gather together afterwards."

Xing Chuan gave Gusha a warning glance and said, "Sir has her reasoning; continue questioning, and you won’t appear in the Hidden Branch anymore."

Upon hearing this, Gusha dared not speak further.

Seeing this, Yiyi nodded slightly, preparing to enter the Divine Medicine Sect with Pei Jin and his group.

Xing Chuan then stopped Yiyi, "Sir, this is the Divine Medicine Sect’s layout map, having it will facilitate your plans."

Receiving the map, Yiyi finally had a slight smile, "Alright, we’ll meet later; take care."
