I picked up the scattered attributes

Regardless of the condition, it almost always meant indirectly becoming a member of the imperial court!

As leaders of powerful sects, they usually hold high positions. Even though they have been forced to submit to Xuanwu Kingdom due to the prevailing trend, it does not mean that they are willing to completely submit.

If possible, they would certainly like to overthrow the rule of Xuanwu Kingdom, but unfortunately... Xuanwu Kingdom is just too powerful.

If you can't beat them, then you have no choice but to become one of them.

"This child's cultivation is still too weak. He has just opened a divine wheel, and can only connect with one person at a time. After that, his cultivation will be completely exhausted, and he will need a day to recover."

Watching the gaunt boy's retreating figure, the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master chuckled and said, "Therefore, we must first make contact with a hidden agent to quickly ascertain the true situation of Thousand Autumn Valley, and then..."

He raised his hand and made a "neck-slitting" motion at his neck.

Upon hearing these words from the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master, the other experts burst into laughter.

"As long as we can connect, that's enough. Low cultivation level isn't a real flaw. Besides, with all of you fellow Daoists here, what difficulty is there in restoring my cultivation level, even if I'm only at the first level of the Opening Wheel Realm?"

The plump middle-aged Taoist clapped his hands and laughed, "Once this boy's cultivation is exhausted, we will take turns to empower him, which will be enough to restore his strength quickly."

“Very good.” The Heavenly Annihilation Sect Master nodded with a smile.

Each of the Dao Platform Realm experts present exchanged glances, but none of them mentioned a single thing.

The initiation and transmission of power can indeed quickly restore one's cultivation level.

However, this practice is extremely damaging to the body's meridians. One time might be fine, but if it happens repeatedly, even someone with the strongest cultivation talent would likely become a cripple!

Just then, the gaunt boy suddenly opened his eyes:

"found it!"

"Oh, you found him so quickly? What's his name, and what's his status in Thousand Autumns Valley?"

The sect leader of Tianjue Sect was overjoyed and shouted.

All eyes around him instantly turned and focused on the boy.

If it were an ordinary teenager here, facing the intense gaze of so many Dao Platform Realm experts, he would most likely be on the verge of collapse in an instant. But this teenager merely swayed his body and then showed no further abnormalities.

"What a pity, such a promising sword cultivator wasted like that." Someone shook their head secretly, but didn't say anything more.

Clearly, in their view, the boy's parents failed in their assassination attempt on the Tianjue Sect Master, and the boy's sins were being visited upon the son. The fact that the boy has survived to this day is already a testament to the Tianjue Sect Master's mercy.

"Please allow me to ask..."

The boy nodded, then closed his eyes.

After a moment, he finally opened his eyes again and answered expressionlessly:

"He said his name was Mo Yin, and he was originally a member of the Imperial Guard. He was later ordered to infiltrate Qianqiu Valley and has now become a senior steward."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Heavenly Absolute Sect Master couldn't help but smile: "So it's this Mo Yin. I've heard of this name before. He was a fierce general in the Imperial Guard, who later mysteriously disappeared. I never imagined he would go to Thousand Autumn Valley!"

"We were able to contact Mo Yin on our first attempt, which means we're pretty lucky." Unconsciously, the Tianjue Sect Master's smile grew even wider. "Shuang'er, ask Mo Yin where the other hidden agents in the valley are. Also, make sure he finds out the true situation of that old Sword King!"

The gaunt boy nodded again, closed his eyes once more, and focused on activating the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique.

As his cultivation gradually diminished, and after being nearly exhausted, the young man finally opened his eyes again: "Mo Yin said that besides him, there are a total of seventeen hidden chess pieces in the valley. The identities of two of them are unknown, and as for the remaining fifteen, they are..."

He then gave a list of names and identities.

The crowd was even more delighted to hear this.

Regardless of who the remaining two people are, Mo Yin and the remaining fifteen people alone are enough to completely destroy Qianqiu Valley!

"So, how is the old Sword King doing?!"

A Dao Platform Realm King couldn't help but let out a low shout.

Upon hearing this, the others also perked up.

In fact, this is the issue they care about most!

"If the old Sword King hasn't reached the end of his life, then we can only leave it to that person to handle. If it's just a matter of saving face, then we don't need to worry about it too much..."

"The Old Sword King..."

The gaunt youth pondered for a moment, then suddenly swayed slightly and almost fell to the ground. At that moment, all his cultivation was exhausted.

Fortunately, he still mustered all his strength and said in a deep voice, word by word:

"The old Sword King... has deciphered the mysteries of Yin and Yang, life and death... and can break through to the Dao Platform anytime, anywhere!"

Pfft!

Having said that, the boy exhausted his strength, his body went limp, and he fell into a coma.

"Having deciphered the mysteries of Yin and Yang, life and death, one could potentially break through at any time?"

The head of the Tianjue Sect let him fall, without any intention of helping him up. He and the others exchanged glances, and a smile gradually appeared in their eyes:

"A breakthrough could happen anytime, anywhere; that means a breakthrough hasn't happened yet!"

"As long as the old Sword King hasn't broken through, he'll still be at the Dao Platform Realm, and... he'll be a Dao Platform Realm cultivator who's about to die of old age!"

"As long as we prepare in advance and drag him into a protracted battle, even if it's just a matter of dragging it out... we can wear him down!"

……

"Who the hell is this?!"

In the Valley of a Thousand Autumns.

Recalling the voice that echoed in his mind, Feng Xia's expression became increasingly strange.

"Who is Mo Yin? And who are these fifteen others? Could they all be secret agents of the imperial court?"

"I was just wondering where to look for it, and who was so kind as to deliver the list right to my door? Speaking of which, this guy seems to know the secrets of breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm?"

"Then why is he telling me all this?!"

……

Chapter 0049

Feng Xia had some understanding of the Dragon Vein Resonance Method in the "Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Manual".

However, it was only "a little" of it.

After all, the Ink Jade Book is not very effective, and the official Fei Clan seems to have secretly altered the drop rate. Therefore, the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique that he currently possesses is only a small part of the complete technique.

Regarding the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique, among the incomplete techniques he currently possesses, there are only some related descriptions, but no specific secret methods.

His original plan was to beat Mo Yushu up a few more times to try and learn the complete Dragon Vein Resonance Method, and then find out the court's hidden agents one by one and beat them into the same shape as Mo Yushu.

However, the plan encountered a major setback in its very first step:

In a short period of time, I beat up Mo Yushu too much, which caused the drop rate of attribute light orbs to drop significantly lower!

Feng Xia even had good reason to suspect that if he continued to operate in this way, it was uncertain whether he could collect all the fragments of the cultivation technique, and Mo Yushu would definitely lose his memory first—even applying wound medicine every time wouldn't save him.

Therefore, the method of farming drops through the same person is obviously blocked.

To learn the Dragon Vein Resonance Method, you must first obtain the complete "Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique," and to obtain the complete "Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique," you must first master the Dragon Vein Resonance Method.

—No matter how you look at it, it's an absolute vicious cycle.

"I never expected that someone would come to my rescue when I was almost ready to give up..."

Recalling the series of information the other party had given, Feng Xia's lips curled up uncontrollably, and he slowly uttered a few words: "Oh no, it should be said that he was sending himself to his death in the snow!"

This delivery came at the perfect time!

Although he didn't know who the kind person was, it was clear that a traitor had infiltrated the enemy ranks—of course, it was also possible that he wasn't a traitor, but that some other unexpected situation had occurred.

For example... people from another world don't know that secret communications shouldn't be broadcast on the public screen?

"The former possibility is more likely, while the latter seems a bit too idiotic no matter how you look at it..." Feng Xia stroked his chin and pondered, "But, if the person who resonates with this isn't me, but some other hidden pawn, what's the point of them doing this?"

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly, an incredible thought burst into his mind.

If those intelligence reports are true, it means that the imperial court has planted eighteen hidden agents in Qianqiu Valley, and without a doubt, these are eighteen traitors.

However, judging from the current situation, the enemy's forces are not a monolithic entity; it seems that there are traitors infiltrated among them.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have had that experience.

"If among these eighteen hidden agents, someone actually has a dual identity, that is, is the ultimate traitor..."

This assumption sounds absolutely ridiculous...

However, once this assumption holds true, then everything that happened before suddenly becomes logical!

"Never mind all that, let's go find that Mo Yin first. Oh right, he's a steward of Thousand Autumn Valley now, I think his real name isn't Mo Yin..."

That very night.

Yin Kaiyu, one of the senior stewards of Qianqiu Valley, was attacked by a mysterious person. Enraged, Yin Kaiyu fought back fiercely, but he was still no match for the mysterious person and was severely beaten. Finally, he was thrown into the stinking ditch behind the mountain.

When the disciples of Qianqiu Valley found Yin Kaiyu, this senior steward was swollen all over like a pig's head, with prominent horns and sharp features. At first glance, he looked like some rare and exotic monster!

"Who on earth is so audacious as to attack one of our sect's stewards?!"

Elder Lei Shao of Qianqiu Valley was furious. Together with the newly appointed guest elder Feng Xia, they searched the entire Qianqiu Valley, but they could not find any trace of the thief.
