Chapter 531: Chapter 293: Who Exactly is Supervising Whose Cultivation?

The Wuyun Sect mountain range.

Tantai Xue traveled by Sword Control, gazing at the mist-shrouded Sect ahead, feeling a bit dazed.

"Is the item really in this place? For some reason, I get the feeling the Wuyun Sect itself doesn’t even know," Tantai Xue said.

"Let’s take a look. At least it’s a lead. Sometimes, the complete absence of a trail is the biggest sign that something is there," Tantai Xiaotian’s voice echoed in Tantai Xue’s mind.

"Senior, are you sure you’ll be okay?" Tantai Xue asked.

If they were discovered, they would be trapped in the Wuyun Sect.

There would be no escape.

"It’s fine. They won’t find me." Tantai Xiaotian’s voice was calm and confident.

Tantai Xue nodded, then brought up another matter. "I’ve found some information about the Ling Hua Envoy."

"That easily?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

"Yes, it was very easy. You could say that just by asking a few of the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit’s subordinates, I was able to get a general idea. Then, I used my own channels to learn the specifics. Senior, you probably can’t guess what this person’s identity is," Tantai Xue said.

"What identity?"

"An undercover agent."

"An undercover agent?"

"Yes. A Sect mole. And a Wuyun Sect mole, at that."

Tantai Xiaotian was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you certain?"

"There’s no direct proof, but he’s entered the Law Enforcement Hall several times and come out unscathed. Furthermore, the method he used to restrain the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit likely came from the Law Enforcement Hall as well. The sudden erasure of the Sun and Moon Immortal Spirit was, in all likelihood, also his doing," Tantai Xue said after a brief pause. "This would explain everything. However, his business of Collecting Spiritual Source must be a private venture."

"I’ve also found out where he is Collecting Spiritual Source."

"I have to say, they’re really just a disorganized mob."

"Their methods are so crude."

"I wonder when my one million will ever reach that Messenger’s hands."

"He’ll probably just stall me again, claiming the Spiritual Source hasn’t been received yet."

"Also, if I were to tell his supporters about this, I wonder what effect that would have."

"Are you going to bring it up?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

"I can communicate with this Messenger first and see what his attitude is. If I can use this to make him more compliant, I certainly don’t mind helping him keep his secret," Tantai Xue said.

"Is it possible that those people already have their suspicions?"

"It’s possible, but they definitely don’t have direct proof. Otherwise, why would they support an undercover agent so fervently?"

Tantai Xiaotian didn’t say anything more.

He didn’t care whether they knew or not.

He was concerned about something else. If the man was an undercover agent, was telling them the Immortal Dao Coordinate his own idea, or was the Wuyun Sect laying a trap?

Tantai Xue was silent for a moment, unable to give an answer.

’But since I’m already here, I have to go in and see for myself. Besides, I entered using a legitimate identity.’

’As long as I don’t do anything out of line, I’ll be fine.’

’And now that I have this information, I can’t just ignore it.’

’Even if it is a trap, we can’t just turn back now.’

’This is an open conspiracy.’

Afterward, Tantai Xue entered the Sect and headed straight for the Outer Sect.

She was going to check out that sesame pancake shop.

If she had any plans later, she could carry them out through this shop.

Securing a channel to contact the Ling Hua Envoy wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Of course, she didn’t plan to use it unless absolutely necessary, as it could easily expose her.

’Only the mist where the dreamscape resides is truly safe.’

’Within a Sect, no matter how secretly you act, you will always leave a trace.’

’And you’ll be detected by all sorts of Great Divine Techniques, with nowhere left to hide.’

After wandering for a long time, she finally found the sesame pancake shop. Along the way, she bought things from various small stores and sampled their food.

She went into both crowded and empty shops.

So, when she saw the sesame pancake shop, she calmly asked if they had a table and chairs.

Seeing a customer arrive, Song Qing immediately nodded. "We do."

The woman was dressed in a black Immortal Skirt, which was quite eye-catching.

’Is an outfit like that really something a person from an Immortal Sect would wear?’ he wondered.

But he didn’t dare to dwell on it. Instead, he kindly reminded her, "Fairy, our shop is a bit special. You’d best be careful."

"Special?" This piqued Tantai Xue’s curiosity even more. "How so?"

"Buying sesame pancakes here might attract unwanted attention," Song Qing said in a low voice.

"You mean you have enemies, which is why you have no business, and if I patronize your shop, your enemies will target me?" Tantai Xue asked with a smile.

Song Qing nodded.

Hearing this, Tantai Xue smiled. "It’s fine. Your enemies might not be able to do anything to me."

She then sat down on a chair and asked with a smile, "Do you only have sesame pancakes here?"

"We do." Song Qing immediately brought her two sesame pancakes.

"They’re a bit dry. Don’t you sell anything to drink? Like tea or meat congee," Tantai Xue asked.

Song Qing said awkwardly, "Our business is just so-so."

Tantai Xue didn’t mind. She said she would be back in a moment and asked him to keep the pancakes warm for her, as she didn’t like eating them cold.

She then went next door, bought some tea, and brought it back.

With that, she asked them to serve the sesame pancakes.

"Are your sesame pancakes so good that you’re being targeted for them?" Tantai Xue asked casually.

Then she took a bite and said with some surprise, "They’re actually quite delicious."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing said with a smile, "We have a master chef."

Tantai Xue lamented as she ate the pancake, "I underestimated you. I thought since there were no customers, the taste must be average."

’It’s no wonder the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit’s subordinates buy so many of these,’ she thought. ’They really are quite good.’

Just as she was about to continue the small talk and inquire about the Ling Hua Envoy, a young man in white robes walked up to her table. "Is this seat taken?"

He was very polite.

Tantai Xue raised an eyebrow at the man and said with a smile, "You can, but are you actually here for the sesame pancakes?"
