Chapter 576: Chapter 575: Seeking

After Yiyi and the others left, Gusha said disapprovingly, "Senior brother, why did you give her such an important sect distribution map? Although she holds the Jade Token, we’ve never met her before; what if she obtained it by accident? Wouldn’t we be in great danger?"

Xing Chuan glanced at Gusha again and then said, "Don’t say such things anymore. She’s not an outsider; she might very well be the Holy Daughter."

"What..."

Gusha was full of surprise.

"How can that be? When did the Holy Daughter appear? I didn’t know, and there haven’t been any announcements from the sect before. So how could that girl be the Holy Daughter?"

Xing Chuan cast a sidelong glance at Gusha, snorted coldly, and said, "You were told to pay attention to Elder Qiu’s activities at that time, but what did you do? So calm yourself, stop being so scattered, and don’t forget your mission."

Upon hearing this, Gusha fell completely silent.

The mission of their Hidden Branch is to follow orders when the Jade Token is held by another; now that it’s in Yiyi’s hands, they should fully follow her instructions. But he was uneasy because she was young and perhaps from another sect, fostering doubts and suspicions. "Senior brother, it’s my fault. I won’t be impulsive anymore."

Xing Chuan glanced at Gusha, "It’s good that you understand."

Gusha was entirely loyal to the Hidden Branch, but his cold arrogance sometimes got in the way. Hopefully, this experience would teach him to remain clear-headed in the future.

After hearing Xing Chuan’s words, Gusha felt uneasy, "Senior brother, is she really the Holy Daughter?" He had referred to her as "her" earlier and now called her "master," showing he believed Xing Chuan’s words.

Xing Chuan said nothing further, only stated, "Alright, we should get moving too. The Sect Leader and Elder Qiu are trapped, we have to find and rescue them quickly."

Once hearing the news, Gusha stopped asking questions and immediately followed Xing Chuan’s lead, heading straight for the Divine Medicine Sect.

Meanwhile, when Yiyi and her group arrived at the Divine Medicine Sect, they carefully hid their tracks and acted cautiously.

"Young Master, how should we control those people?"

Pei Jin furrowed his brows slightly, realizing the difficulty of the task.

Yiyi merely smiled, "Don’t worry, I have everything prepared." She then took out a bag from her chest and said to Pei Jin, "Distribute the contents to the others, and sneak them onto the guards."

Pei Jin complied swiftly, and after distributing the items, he smiled, "Young Master, we will carry out our duties responsibly."

Before arriving at the Divine Medicine Sect, Yiyi had prepared a lot of things. Now with enough manpower, she could make full use of these preparations.

When Pei Jin led Yin sect disciples into action, Yiyi didn’t remain idle either. She led the remaining group to survey the terrain as per Xing Chuan’s map.

But they were too many, leading the Divine Medicine Sect members to eventually discover them.

"Over here, don’t let them escape!"

With the Divine Medicine Sect disciples chasing from behind, Yiyi pursed her lips and ran forward. But instead of simply fleeing, she sought the perfect moment to toss a powder behind her.

"Ah..."

Screams rang out in succession, prompting Yiyi to declare, "Everyone, halt and subdue the ones behind us."

"Charge..."

Heeding Yiyi’s command, Yin sect disciples stopped and engaged the Divine Medicine Sect’s members in combat.

However, the disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect proved far more skilled than average, and even though they were affected by the powder, Yiyi and her group still had to fight hard to subdue them, with several Yin sect members getting wounded.

A tall, thin youth hurt his arm and turned to Yiyi with a face full of guilt, "Young Master, it’s my fault for alerting the guards."

Yiyi shook her head, "Now is not the time for that discussion; take these people and find a hidden place."

"Yes."

The tall and thin young man, Yu Dong, didn’t say much more, but his demeanor showed determination.

With the map, Yiyi soon found a concealed cave, bringing the guards inside. She grabbed one and asked, "Where are the Sect Leader and Elder Qiu?"

This guard from Chi Yan Peak not only didn’t answer but retorted, "Who are you, and what are you doing at our Divine Medicine Sect?"

Yiyi was almost amused by his obliviousness, so she turned to Yu Dong, "Interrogate him thoroughly."

The Yin sect had effective interrogation methods, and Yu Dong took over, but the results were poor; these disciples were tight-lipped.

Seeing this, Yiyi’s expression turned cold, "Let me handle it."

"Hmph...I advise you all to release us soon, or you’ll get what’s coming. Our Peak Master is about to hold the ascension ceremony. If he finds out about intruders, you’ll be sorry."

Without a word, Yiyi forced a pill down the man’s throat, "Let’s see if Su Liuguang can become the new Sect Leader."

This pill was a potent remedy left to her by Lin Jing and Fu Yun before departing, identical to the one Lin Jing used on the Huang family’s second young master, though she had only a couple to spare. But time was against her, and spotting the high status of this Chi Yan Peak disciple, she opted to use one.

"Where are Sect Leader Bai Zhe and Elder Qiu held?"

That Chi Yan Peak disciple, now dazed, responded immediately to Yiyi’s questions, "They are imprisoned in the dungeon."

Yiyi pressed further, "Are Qingyun Peak and Zixia Peak disciples imprisoned together?"

"No, most are held in the rear mountain, with a few also in the dungeon."

"Where’s the dungeon?"

Without hesitating further, Yiyi sought to rescue Elder Qiu.

But the disciple stopped speaking after a few words.

Yiyi tossed him aside and scrutinized the map thoroughly. Xing Chuan’s map was exceedingly detailed, drawing her attention to the dungeon’s location, "Here."

Pei Jin asked, "Young Master, should we head to the dungeon now?"

Yiyi shook her head, "Wait, let’s deal with these people first before heading to the dungeon."

Upon reaching the dungeon, Xing Chuan and his group were already there.

"Master."

Seeing Yiyi, Xing Chuan was surprised, "Master, I hadn’t expected you’d get here so quickly."
