Lin Yue said solemnly, "Reporting to you, my lord, the Hehuan Sect branch is now firmly established, and the branch manager is none other than Lou Miaoyin, who betrayed the Xuan Yue Sect back then."

"Besides Lou Miaoyin, the Hehuan Sect branch also has a Nascent Soul stage expert and many Core Formation stage elders, many of whom were Lou Miaoyin's disciples back then."

Su Chun frowned; the situation was more complicated than she had imagined.

With Nascent Soul cultivators stationed and Core Formation elders on guard, it would be extremely difficult to infiltrate the Hehuan Sect branch undetected and retrieve what Qu Xinyao left behind.

"Are there any relatively weak links? Or are there any special days when defenses might be relatively lax?" Su Chun asked.

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "If we're talking about weaknesses, there are some. Their management is very lax, and it's entirely possible to impersonate a disciple of the Hehuan Sect and infiltrate."

Su Chun's heart skipped a beat. Disguise himself as a disciple and sneak in? That was indeed a good idea.

"okay, I get it."

Su Chun nodded. "Lin Yue, could you get me a set of Hehuan Sect disciple's robes and identity token? Preferably an inconspicuous outer disciple identity that won't easily attract attention."

"This is not difficult."

Lin Yue said.

"The outer disciples of the Hehuan Sect are highly mobile, and their identity tokens are relatively easy to forge. Fairy, please wait a moment, I will go and make the preparations."

With that, Lin Yue turned and left the hut.

Su Chun waited patiently in the cabin, while constantly thinking about her infiltration plan.

She had to ensure everything went perfectly; if she were exposed, not only would the mission fail, but she herself would also find it difficult to escape unscathed.

About an incense stick's time later, Lin Yue returned, carrying a package in her hand.

Chapter 201 Old Friends

"My lord, this is a set of outer sect female disciple's attire from the Hehuan Sect, along with a forged identity token."

Lin Yue handed a package to Su Chun and explained in a low voice.

"The information on the token is Jiang Ruomeng, an outer disciple who has just joined the sect and is responsible for cleaning the area around the main altar. She is rarely noticed by others on weekdays."

Su Chun took the package, and her brows furrowed slightly the moment her fingertips touched the fabric.

Upon opening it, one finds a dark purple gauze dress, made of rough material, with a few faint pink mimosa flowers embroidered along the edges. The neckline is extremely low, and the skirt is excessively short, so one might inevitably expose some skin as one moves.

This revealing style was completely different from the elegant attire of the Xuan Yue Sect, making her feel uncomfortable.

But at this moment, infiltrating the enemy camp is something we can only endure for the time being.

Thank you.

Su Chun carefully put away the clothes and token. Her fingertips brushed over the counterfeit token, and the spiritual light fluctuations on it were almost indistinguishable from the real token, which showed that the Xuan Yue Sect's secret agents had extraordinary methods.

Lin Yue then asked, "When does Your Excellency plan to take action? What can I do for you?"

Su Chun shook her head: "I can handle the rest myself. You can continue to lie low and don't need to expose yourself."

She didn't want her actions to implicate the former members of the Xuan Yue Sect who were struggling to survive in the cracks between the demonic and the righteous paths.

Lin Yue knew that Su Chun's mind was made up, so she said no more and simply bowed deeply.

"My lord, please be careful in everything you do."

Su Chun nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the dense forest.

She found a secluded mountain stream and quickly changed into the purple gauze dress.

The reflection in the mirror-like lake made her seem somewhat unfamiliar. Her plain face was deliberately adorned with a touch of gaudy rouge, but her clear eyes still exuded a coldness that was out of place with her surroundings.

She concealed her aura, suppressed her cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining, and used a secret technique to alter some details of her appearance, ensuring that even acquaintances would find it difficult to recognize her at a glance.

Having done all this, she held the forged Jiang Ruomeng token and walked towards the Xuan Yue Sect's mountain gate, which was now the Yue Kingdom branch of the Hehuan Sect, just as she remembered it.

The closer one gets to the mountain gate, the stronger the sweet and decadent atmosphere becomes, a stark contrast to the once cool and aloof spiritual energy of the Xuan Yue Sect.

As Lin Yue had predicted, the guards at the mountain gate were much more lax due to the celebration. They merely glanced at Su Chun's token, saw that she was wearing outer disciple's robes and was meek and obedient, and impatiently waved her away.

The moment Su Chun stepped through the mountain gate, her heart ached slightly.

In my memory, the Xuan Yue Sect was a place where pavilions and towers were nestled among ancient pines and cypresses, and the disciples moved about with steady steps and pure aura.

Now, the carved beams and painted rafters have been painted in gaudy pink and gold, and men and women in disheveled clothes can be seen everywhere embracing and laughing. The air is filled with the smell of alcohol, cosmetics, and an indescribable, nauseating erotic atmosphere.

Beside the once clear stream, several pairs of cultivators were now openly engaging in illicit acts, oblivious to the presence of others.

Su Chun suppressed the urge to turn and leave, lowered her head, and suppressed all her emotions.

Like a true outer sect disciple sweeping and cleaning, she hurried along, trying to avoid those dissolute cultivators, heading towards the Moon Gazing Peak, the place where Qu Xinyao had once secluded herself deep in her memory.

Wangyue Peak is located deep within the main altar, in a treacherous area, and is now designated as a forbidden area, accessible only to core disciples and elders.

Su Chun didn't dare to force her way in, so she could only use the excuse of cleaning to loiter around the area, looking for an opportunity to sneak in.

She carefully spread her divine sense, avoiding the patrolling Core Formation cultivators, and analyzed the surrounding array nodes.

Although the Hehuan Sect was decadent, it did not relax its defenses, especially on the road leading to Wangyue Peak, where it set up several layers of warning restrictions.

Just as Su Chun found a weak point in the formation and was preparing to sneak in during the patrol shift change, a slightly lazy female voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Junior sister, please wait."

Su Chun's heart skipped a beat, and all her muscles tensed instantly. Had she been discovered? She slowly turned around, her face showing the timidity and confusion typical of outer sect disciples, her eyes lowered, unable to meet the other person's gaze.

The newcomer was a woman in her early thirties, dressed in the robes of an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Her peach-colored tight-fitting dress accentuated her voluptuous and mature figure, revealing a glimpse of her fair calves beneath the hem. On her feet were a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.

Her appearance was already beautiful, but now her eyebrows and eyes carried a deliberate charm, her eyes were slightly upturned, and there was a faint smile on her lips. Her cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Su Chun's gaze inadvertently swept across the woman's face, and her pupils suddenly contracted as if struck by lightning!

Although that face was much more mature than she remembered, with the marks of time and a deliberate air of charm, the contours of her eyebrows and eyes clearly belonged to Meng Yu, her first friend in the Xuan Yue Sect.

How could it be her?

Su Chun's mind went blank.

She had thought the other person had already fled Yue Kingdom. How did they end up here, wearing the inner sect robes of the Hehuan Sect, and looking like this?

Seeing that the junior sister from the outer sect was standing still and staring at him, Meng Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked again.

"Junior sister, I'm calling you. What are you daydreaming about?"

Su Chun snapped back to her senses, forcefully suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and seemingly stumbled as she grabbed Meng Yu's arm. Lowering her voice, she said urgently in a volume only the two of them could hear, "Meng Yu, it's me, Su Chun!"

At the same time, she quickly wiped away the disguise on her face, revealing her original appearance.

Meng Yu's smile froze instantly, and her pupils dilated sharply, as if she had seen some unbelievable monster.

She stared blankly at Su Chun, her lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.

Su Chun, the senior sister she thought had long since died in Lingyuan Blessed Land, was actually standing alive and well in front of her.

Drunk cultivators occasionally walked by. Meng Yu suddenly came to her senses, a hint of panic and complexity flashing in her eyes. She forcefully broke free from Su Chun's hand, but grabbed her wrist in return, pulling her behind a more secluded artificial hill.

The artificial hill is overgrown with vines, temporarily blocking out the view and sound from the outside world.

"Senior Sister Su?"

Meng Yu's voice trembled with disbelief as she looked Su Chun up and down, her eyes filled with an extremely complicated expression.

"Is it really you? You, you're not dead?"

Su Chun looked at Meng Yu in front of her, feeling a mix of emotions.

The woman before me, apart from the faint resemblance to her former self in her face, everything else has changed.

Her figure was so voluptuous that it was almost seductive, and her clothes were revealing. The naivety and innocence in her eyes had long been replaced by sophistication and charm.

Is this really the Meng Yu from back then?

It's a long story.

Su Chun sighed, her gaze fixed on Meng Yu.

"And you? Meng Yu, what are you doing here? And how did you become an inner disciple of the Hehuan Sect?"

Meng Yu felt a little uncomfortable under Su Chun's clear and sharp gaze. She subconsciously adjusted her collar, her eyes flickered, and she avoided Su Chun's gaze.

"What could I do? Back then, when the sect was occupied, we low-level disciples had no chance of escaping."

Her voice lowered, carrying a hint of bitterness and self-mockery.

"Either die, or live on like me, a wretched existence."

Su Chun's heart sank.

She could almost imagine what Meng Yu had gone through over the years.

Chapter 202 Encountering an Enemy on the Road

Behind the artificial hill, Su Chun looked at Meng Yu's evasive eyes and tightly clasped hands. The joy she felt at their reunion gradually turned into pity.

"Just surviving, sigh!"

Su Chun sighed softly.

“Sister Mengyu, you must have suffered a lot over the years.”

Meng Yu's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly. She suddenly raised her head, a hint of vulnerability flashing in her eyes as if her innermost thoughts had been exposed, before being covered by a hard shell.

She forced a smile and said, "Suffering? Who isn't suffering? It's good enough to be alive. But you, Sister Su, everyone thought you died in Lingyuan Blessed Land back then. How come you suddenly appeared here? And dressed like this?"

She looked Su Chun up and down at the dazzling purple gauze dress she was wearing, and knew that the other party must have sneaked in.

Su Chun did not hide anything.

"I was indeed trapped in Lingyuan Blessed Land back then, and then I escaped by chance. After I came out, I learned that Xuan Yue Sect had been occupied by Hehuan Sect, so I left for Yue Kingdom and went to Tiandao Alliance. This time I came back to retrieve something left behind by my master."

"Grandmaster? Do you mean Senior Qu Xinyao?"

Meng Yu asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Elder Yue is currently rebuilding the Xuan Yue Sect in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. The things left behind by our ancestor were searched by that bitch Lou Miaoyin all over Wangyue Peak back then, but she couldn't find them. So she asked me to come and find them."

Meng Yu understood.
