Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

When Wan Gu Dao Ren entered the cave behind Xuan Yang Sect, he had a smile on his face, and it was a very natural smile.

Neither obsequious nor aloof, he was seven parts respectful and three parts confident.

What he brought this time was no ordinary congratulatory gift.

Instead, they were innate spiritual treasures prepared by the demon race, in great quantity and of excellent quality.

Moreover, it was entirely to please him; as long as Gu Changjin accepted this gift, his position in the Western Wilderness Alliance would be secure.

But as soon as Daoist Wan Gu stepped into the cave, the smile on his face froze.

Because Gu Changjin wasn't the only one in the cave; there was also a middle-aged cultivator with white hair and gray clothes standing next to him.

The man had a thin face and a restrained aura, appearing to be an ordinary rogue cultivator. However, Wan Gu Dao Ren's heart skipped a beat after just one glance at him.

Wait, this aura... is it the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan?

Although the other party had tried his best to conceal himself and was disguised as a rogue human cultivator, the Daoist of Ten Thousand Bones himself was of that race.

There are certain blood-related traits that others might not recognize, but he can.

Bai Xuanyou was also looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, a strange light flashed in Bai Xuanyou's eyes as well.

Same race?

The atmosphere inside the cave was subtly still for a moment.

Gu Changjin sat at the head of the table, a hint of amusement flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The demon race in the main world is indeed skilled at concealing their aura; even he couldn't detect the demonic scent on the Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones.

If it weren't for the barely perceptible twitch at the corner of Wan Gu Dao Ren's eye when he entered, it would have been a different story.

And the eerie silence between the two, like "fellow countrymen meeting," almost made him mistake the old demon for a pure human.

Gu Changjin felt a slight stirring in his heart, but showed no sign of it on his face, and coughed lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Gu has arrived?"

The Taoist Master Wan Gu immediately snapped out of his daze, and a smile returned to his face.

"Greetings, Daoist Lord."

"No, greetings to the Alliance Leader."

He bowed deeply, his attitude even more respectful than last time.

Gu Changjin smiled and said, "I heard from Zhou Xuanyue that you have a batch of innate spiritual treasures that you want to offer to the Dao Alliance?"

Daoist Wan Gu quickly took out a storage bag and presented it with both hands.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader."

"I accidentally came across an ancient treasure, which contains many innate spiritual objects and rare treasures."

"This junior's cultivation is shallow, and I cannot recognize them all."

"Considering that the Western Wilderness Alliance is currently facing a calamity caused by demons and is in dire need of manpower and resources, we dare not keep them to ourselves and have come to offer them to the Alliance Leader."

That's a beautifully said statement, and it's perfectly apt.

Gu Changjin took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense.

The next moment, his eyes changed.

Good guy.

This is not a batch at all.

This is clearly a pile.

Three innate fire spirit mushrooms, two sections of innate thunder pattern ancient vines... Some of these things are mysterious and obscure, and may seem insignificant to outsiders.

The fruit had already begun to vibrate slightly.

The quantity of this wave alone far exceeds the number of innate treasures seized in the first wave in the entire Western Wilderness.

Gu Changjin's gaze towards the Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones softened considerably.

So gentle that even the Taoist Master Wan Gu felt a little uneasy.

"Great!! Very good!!"

Gu Changjin stood up, walked up to the Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Gu, you have made a great contribution to the entire Western Wilderness cultivation world this time."

The Taoist Master Wan Gu immediately lowered his head.

"Everything is for the cultivation world of the Western Wilderness."

Gu Changjin nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

"Now that the demon race is coming on strong, all parties in the Western Wilderness should, like Fellow Daoist Wan Gu, keep the big picture in mind and take the initiative to contribute to the Dao Alliance."

"Rest assured, the Western Wilderness Alliance will not mistreat those who have made contributions."

This is exactly what the Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones was waiting for.

His smile grew even more respectful, but in his heart he began to make plans.

The Western Wilderness Alliance system has now been established.

The lowest rank is the Sky Patrol Guard, mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Above them are the Heavenly Patrol Generals, most of whom are Golden Core cultivators.

Above that is the Nascent Soul Supreme Council.

He offered up such a large number of innate spiritual objects; he couldn't possibly be just an ordinary council member.

At the very least, he should occupy a core position in the Supreme Council.

The Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones carefully considered his tone and cautiously probed:

"Alliance Leader, I offer these meager gifts, hoping they may secure a core seat in the Nascent Soul Supreme Council in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Changjin frowned and interrupted him directly: "What Nascent Soul Supreme Council?"

Wan Gu Dao Ren's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong.

Had he asked for too high a price, thus displeasing this Nascent Soul Dao Lord? He was just about to speak up to make amends.

Gu Changjin waved his hand dismissively, looking at him with a mixture of disappointment and anger: "Vice Alliance Leader! Vice Alliance Leader level!"

"Huh?" Wan Gu Dao Ren froze on the spot, his mind buzzing.

Gu Changjin patted his shoulder, his tone heavy: "You've offered up so many innate spiritual treasures, and you're the Supreme Elder of the Hundred Demons Sect. Sending you to that council to argue with a bunch of people? Wouldn't that discourage a meritorious official? From today onwards, you are the Vice Leader of the Western Wilderness Dao Alliance, second only to the leader!"

Wan Gu Dao Ren swallowed hard, his facial muscles twitching slightly from extreme surprise. He then bowed deeply, his voice trembling with excitement: "Alliance Leader, you have given this junior an immense surprise!"

The Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones originally wanted some power.

Unexpectedly, Gu Changjin directly appointed him as the vice leader of the alliance.

This was too generous, which caught him off guard.

Gu Changjin pointed to Bai Xuanyou beside him.

"Perfect timing, let me introduce you."

"This Bai Xuanyou is a veteran rogue cultivator from the Western Wilderness, with a cultivation level of late-stage Nascent Soul."

"I had a past relationship with you, and now that I have heard that you have established the Western Wilderness Alliance, I have come to offer my assistance."

"He is also the vice leader of the alliance."

"From now on, the two of you will assist me in managing the affairs of the Dao Alliance."

Bai Xuanyou bowed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Gu".

The Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones returned the greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Bai."

Their eyes met again.

The more Wan Gu Dao Ren looked, the more horrified he became.

That's right, absolutely right, this flavor is unmistakable.

The bloodline aura emanating from Bai Xuanyou must belong to the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan.

Moreover, this bloodline aura is extremely pure, even purer than one's own.

This is very strange. How could the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan become Gu Changjin's old acquaintance?

He even became the vice leader of the Western Wilderness Dao Alliance.

Is it...

A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Wan Gu Dao Ren's mind.

Could it be that there were already demons by Gu Changjin's side?

No, to be more precise.

Could it be that the Western Wilderness Alliance has already been infiltrated into its core by the White Bone Wolf Clan before it has even been fully established?

One is Bai Xuanyou, and the other is oneself.

Two vice-leaders.

One is an openly independent cultivator, the other is the Supreme Elder of the Hundred Demons Sect.

They were all skeleton wolf demons.

What is this?

Has the Western Wilderness Alliance been sidelined by the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan?

Wan Gu Dao Ren felt a moment of disorientation.

Before he came, he was thinking about how to gain Gu Changjin's trust and how to gradually enter the core of the Dao Alliance's power.

It turns out I'm not the first one.

His kinsmen had already opened the door for him.

As Gu Changjin watched his changing gaze, his smile grew even more benevolent.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Gu?"

The Taoist Master Wan Gu immediately came to his senses and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your guidance, Alliance Leader!"

"This junior will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the Dao Alliance and will never fail the Alliance Leader's high expectations!"

Gu Changjin nodded.

"it is good."

"I will be going into seclusion soon, and may also need to personally oversee the front lines."

"You and Bai Xuanyou will handle the daily affairs of the Dao Alliance together."

"We must take charge of the Demon-Suppressing Treasure Vault, the Sky Patrol Guard's dispatch, and the resource statistics of each sect."

"Especially things like innate spiritual objects and rare treasures of heaven and earth."

"Put as much as possible into the warehouse."

Wan Gu Dao Ren's heart stirred.

Not only were they given power, but they were given real power.

He immediately replied, "Understood."

After giving a few more instructions, the Taoist Master Wan Gu left the cave.

Even after leaving the back mountain, a thought still lingered in his mind.

The Western Wilderness Alliance has been sidelined by the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan.

He looked up at the main peak of the Xuan Yang Sect, and a strange excitement suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Could it be that the Sage King's scheme is even more intricate than I imagined?"

"Even Gu Changjin has members of my clan by his side?"

The Taoist of Ten Thousand Bones took a deep breath.

Regardless, this is a great thing for him.

The power of the Western Wilderness Alliance was easier to obtain than expected.

Inside the cave.

Gu Changjin sat back down on the futon, fiddling with the storage bag in his hand.

Bai Xuanyou stood below and whispered, "Master, that person has the bloodline of the White Bone Demon Wolf Clan."

Gu Changjin smiled.

"I can see that."

"Although I couldn't sense any aura, I could tell that you two were attracted to each other."

Bai Xuanyou lowered his head and remained silent.

Gu Changjin opened the storage bag and felt the Dao Fruit vibrate more and more strongly, his smile deepening.

"It's alright."

"He wants to use my Dao Alliance to make his plans."

"I also want to use him to see what the Western Wilderness Demon Clan is hiding."

"As long as he continues to send innate spiritual objects."

"He is indeed my good vice-leader."

Bai Xuanyou respectfully replied, "Master is wise."

Gu Changjin smiled and waved his hand.

"Alright, you can go now."

"I'm going to refine a treasure."

After Bai Xuanyou withdrew, the cave's formation closed up again.

Looking at the mountain of innate spiritual treasures piled up in front of him, Gu Changjin could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

The demon race are such good people.

Knowing what he lacks, I give him that.

How could this be a spy?

This is clearly the God of Wealth.
