Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

In other words, only Ye Liuyun is left.

However, Ye Liuyun certainly couldn't agree so hastily. Being too direct would easily arouse Liyue's suspicion. Since it was an act, he had to put on a good show.

"This treasure map might be real, but what inside is worth the risk? To be honest, I don't care about ordinary treasures, and besides, I'm a body cultivator, so treasures for magic cultivators are useless to me," Ye Liuyun said hesitantly.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun seemed reluctant to go, Li Yue rolled her eyes and spoke again.

“Elder Ye, I know that someone of your status would not be interested in ordinary things, but look at the pattern on this treasure map, doesn’t it look like a pill furnace?” Li Yue pointed to a pattern on the treasure map.

Ye Liuyun had seen the pattern long ago, but he pretended not to.

"Huh? It really is a pill furnace. Could this treasure trove be the cave dwelling of an alchemist?" Ye Liuyun said, his eyes lighting up as he stroked his chin.

“Indeed, I had this treasure map appraised. It was made from the hide of a demon beast at the Transformation Realm level. Just think, what level of alchemist would have such a large arm? Most importantly, the treasure map has the mark left by an extremely famous alchemist.”

“The owner of this mark is a divine alchemist from eight thousand years ago, whose mark is his own,” Li Yue continued.

Ye Liuyun didn't believe a word Li Yue said.

"Oh, really? Do you have any evidence?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Li Yue quickly produced the evidence she had prepared in advance. She first showed Ye Liuyun the traces left by the god-level alchemist on the treasure map, and then took out a book introducing famous alchemists throughout the Nine Heavens Domain.

Indeed, there are traces of a divine alchemist's exclusive elixir on this, exactly the same as the traces on the treasure map.

Ye Liuyun has been acting alongside her for so long, it's about time.

Actually, if Ye Liuyun didn't want to go, he could still point out the problem.

"It really is the same. If that's the case, then there's no problem. But how should the things we get after we die be distributed?" Ye Liuyun finally seemed interested.

Liyue certainly can't act too much in line with Ye Liuyun.

"As for how to distribute the items, I think we need to see what items are before we can discuss it further. We haven't been there yet, and we haven't found the cave dwelling, so I dare not make any promises lightly," Li Yue replied.

Liyue's answer is correct.

Ye Liuyun pretended to think for a moment, then nodded.

“That’s true, alright then, I’ll go take a look. But let me make this clear first, I don’t like taking risks. If I find any danger, I might have to give up. After all, my wife is about to give birth, and I don’t want my child to be born without a father,” Ye Liuyun said with a serious expression.

“Of course. If Elder Ye is unwilling to continue the investigation, we will not force him.” Li Yue and the other two nodded quickly in agreement.

After discussing it, Liyue suggested that they go back and prepare, and set off the next day.

Ye Liuyun left first. After she left, Li Yue and Tai Xiao both revealed a smug smile before returning to their respective places.

"Tch! Idiot, I've been fooling you for so long and you've finally taken the bait. I knew the better I performed, the more restless your Reverse Immortal Alliance would become." Ye Liuyun sneered as soon as he left the private room.

Upon returning to the Supreme Response Sect, Ye Liuyun immediately told Lin Aoxue about the matter. Lin Aoxue was also surprised to find that so many members of the Reverse Immortal Alliance were hidden among the high-ranking members of the Supreme Response Sect.

"It seems that all the major factions of our Supreme Response Sect have long been completely infiltrated by the Reverse Immortal Alliance. We thought that we had only cleaned up a portion last time, but we didn't expect there to be so many left," Lin Aoxue said with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get useful clues from Li Yue," Ye Liuyun assured him.

The next day, somewhere at Tianduan Ridge.

Ye Liuyun rode on Liusu's back, following behind Liyue and the other two as they flew deeper into Tianduan Ridge.

She had looked at the treasure map not long ago. The exact location was roughly in the core area of ​​Tianduan Ridge, far from the Taishang Ganying Sect, in a valley.

With the energy fluctuations emanating from the four of them, even a single demon beast at the Transformation Realm wouldn't dare approach, so they traveled smoothly all the way and finally arrived at their destination.

"Alright, we've arrived, you three. This should be the Fallen Cloud Valley indicated on the treasure map," Li Yue said, looking down at the valley covered in white clouds.

"Hmm, it is indeed a good place. Moreover, we haven't sensed any powerful demonic beasts lurking here, so there shouldn't be any danger. Let's go down and take a look." After saying that, the three of them took the lead and flew into the valley, disappearing into the white clouds.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes as he watched the three of them enter first.

"Liusu, wait outside. I'll be right back. Remember, don't come any closer," Ye Liuyun reminded her.

Liusu nodded.

Ye Liuyun jumped off Liusu and fell into Zhuiyun Valley at an extremely fast speed.

However, the moment Ye Liuyun landed in Zhuiyun Valley, a massive array suddenly rose up throughout the valley.

Ye Liuyun had already landed on the ground, but the place was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the surroundings clearly.

The three members of Liyue were waiting for Ye Liuyun at the same spot.

"This place is quite eerie. The dense fog is unsettling," Ye Liuyun said.

The three of them chuckled.

"It's strange, but it also means there's a great opportunity here. Elder Ye, let's go," Li Yue said with a smile.

As Li Yue and Tai Xiao walked forward, Ye Liuyun grinned and threw a punch at Tai Xiao, the strongest of the three. Ye Liuyun put all his strength into this punch.

Unfortunately, the punch landed on Tai Xiao but was deflected by the force emanating from him.

It is clear that Tai Xiao has always been on high alert.

"Elder Ye, what is the meaning of this? Why did you suddenly attack me?" After being attacked, Tai Xiao immediately stopped in his tracks. Li Yue and Li Yu also frowned, and the three of them turned around at the same time.

Now that they've come this far, Ye Liuyun is too lazy to continue pretending with them; there's no need.

"Tch! What do you think I mean? That's enough, you've had your act done, haven't you? As soon as I came in, I found myself trapped in the formation, do I need to keep pretending?" Ye Liuyun asked sarcastically.

The three men looked rather strange upon hearing this.

"Interesting. I'm very curious. Elder Ye, how did you figure it out?" Tai Xiao asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I knew from the beginning that I'd been waiting for Elder Liyue for a long time. You almost drove me crazy with anticipation," Ye Liuyun said to Liyue.

Upon hearing this, Li Yue suddenly felt very uneasy. Ye Liuyun's words were essentially telling her, "I knew it was you all along."

"You? You knew it was me all along?" Li Yue's face suddenly turned ugly.

Tai Xiao and Li Yu also looked around immediately. They felt that since Ye Liuyun already knew they planned to harm him, he couldn't possibly have come unprepared to his death.

However, they were very careful along the way. There was no one else in the area. Most importantly, they had only recently told Ye Liuyun the location of the treasure, so it was impossible for Ye Liuyun to have someone ambush them here beforehand.

"Nonsense, you came to my residence that night and tried to assassinate me with illusion magic, but unfortunately you failed. You don't really think I came to your Heavenly Illusion Peak just to be a guest, do you? If you really think that, you're being too naive," Ye Liuyun mocked.

The three members of Liyue grew increasingly uneasy.

"You? Then why did you come with us?" Li Yue asked, frowning.

"I had no choice. If I didn't come with you, how would I deal with you? But this time there was an unexpected bonus, so it was worth the wait." Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the three of them attacked Ye Liuyun without hesitation.

Three cultivators at the Transformation Realm attacked simultaneously. Ye Liuyun certainly couldn't withstand them in his current state, especially since one of them was at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The three attacks simultaneously struck Ye Liuyun, who neither dodged nor evaded, simply letting the attacks fly towards him.

"Boom!" A loud explosion was heard, and Ye Liuyun was engulfed by the three people's magical power.

They had set up a powerful isolation array in the valley beforehand, so their actions here wouldn't be detected.

The three of them just stared at the area where the explosion occurred.

"Is he dead?" Tai Xiao asked, squinting.

Li Yue and Li Yu dared not draw any conclusions, as the other party knew their thoughts and couldn't possibly have been unprepared.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Several fluffy white tails suddenly shot out from the dust and wrapped around the three of them.

The three of them tried to dodge, but a powerful pressure instantly suppressed them in place.

"Damn it." The three of them couldn't help but curse under their breath.

After the dust settled, a beautiful silver-haired woman dressed in a white dress appeared beside Ye Liuyun; to be precise, she was a female demon.

"I say, my master, you actually summoned me all the way from the Northern Plains just for three ants? Isn't that a huge waste of my talents?" the silver-haired beauty said with a resentful expression.

No need to look anymore, it must be Bai Bing. Ye Liuyun brought Bai Bing over from Beiyuan last night.

The three members of Liyue sensed Bai Bing's aura, and for a moment they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Such powerful demonic energy, a great demon at the peak of the Transformation Realm?" These three could roughly judge the woman's greeting based on the human's cultivation level of the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

They could hardly believe that Ye Liuyun had such a powerful female demon secretly protecting him; no wonder she dared to come with them.

"There's no other way. I can't handle the three of them by myself, and I want to keep a low profile, so I had to call you here. After all, Sister Long has already left the Nine Heavens Domain, so it's not appropriate to just call her over," Ye Liuyun replied.

Bai Bing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Alas! My life is truly miserable. Now, my master, how will you deal with them?" Bai Bing teased.

The three of them felt their scalps tingle when they heard Bai Bing call Ye Liuyun "master".

Although they had anticipated that they would be in trouble, they did not expect it to be such a big trouble, that the three of them would require a powerful demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to capture them.

"I'll first suppress their cultivation; I have a great use for these three," Ye Liuyun gestured.

Upon hearing this, Bai Bing immediately released her demonic power, completely sealing the cultivation of the three, rendering them unable to move.

After restraining the three, Ye Liuyun walked up to them with a smile.

"The three of you, is there anything else you would like to say?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Although the three men looked ashen-faced, they did not choose to beg for mercy or admit defeat.

"Since I've fallen into your hands, kill me if you want, no need for further words," Tai Xiao coldly snorted.

Ye Liuyun said dismissively.

"If I only wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have wasted so much time eating this." Ye Liuyun took out a Truth Pill and stuffed it into Tai Xiao's mouth.

When Tai Xiao heard Ye Liuyun say this, it was clear that he wanted to get some clues about the Reverse Immortal Alliance from them.

"Damn it, what did you feed me? Let me tell you, you won't get a single useful clue from me!" Tai Xiao roared.

Ye Liuyun smiled sinisterly.

"It's a pity, you can't keep secrets from me. Alright, tell me how many cultivators at the Transformation Realm are hiding in the Supreme Induction Sect?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Chapter 538 The Beginning of the Conspiracy (5000 words + 500 monthly votes bonus chapter)

When Ye Liuyun asked the question, Tai Xiao's first reaction was definitely to refuse to answer.

The problem was, just as Tai Xiao was about to refuse to answer the question, his mouth involuntarily answered Ye Liuyun.

Or rather, he answered Ye Liuyun instinctively; his mind couldn't control his mouth.

“I only know the members of my squad. As for whether there are others, I don’t know,” Tai Xiao replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Yue and Li Yu, who were standing nearby, looked at Tai Xiao with expressions of disbelief.

"Tai Xiao, what are you doing? Who told you to answer her question? Are you going to betray the Reverse Immortal Alliance?" Li Yue immediately rebuked.

But even Tai Xiao himself was completely bewildered; he didn't understand why he had said it.

"Me? What's going on? Why did my mouth start talking on its own?" Tai Xiao's expression changed drastically.

He looked at Ye Liuyun in disbelief, but when he saw Ye Liuyun looking at him with a playful expression, he knew that this must be the work of the person in front of him, after all, he had been given a pill not long ago.

"You? The pill you just gave me?" Tai Xiao said in disbelief.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"You've figured it out now, haven't you? That's right, it was the pill I gave you that made you tell the truth. I'm not afraid to tell you, after taking this pill, you won't be able to hide any secrets from me. As long as I ask, you'll have to spill even the most private things." Ye Liuyun said with a sinister look on his face.

Tai Xiao's expression changed drastically, and Li Yue and Li Yu beside him were also startled.

"Damn it, kill us now! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!" Tai Xiao roared.

However, Ye Liuyun would not grant his wish, so he continued to ask about the Reverse Immortal Alliance, mainly inquiring about how many traitors the Reverse Immortal Alliance had hidden within the Supreme Response Sect.

Tai Xiao was forced to reveal the names of the people he knew.

First of all, they only communicated through one-way channels. For example, if the Anti-Immortal Alliance hadn't sent Tai Xiao and Li Yu to help Li Yue, the three of them wouldn't have known each other at all.

Tai Xiao quickly logged off. As for his online status, it was the headquarters of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, so asking about his online status was pointless.

Li Yue and Li Yu are the same; they both control some subordinates who are hidden in various factions. However, the main ones are those in their own factions. For example, in Tianhuan Peak, there are several core disciples who are Li Yue's people, and even more ordinary disciples, totaling dozens.

However, these people are unaware that Liyue is their superior, unless Liyue contacts them proactively.

However, Liyue would not contact them openly, but rather through a special contact method within the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

These three individuals were all team leaders in their respective areas. Their goal was to gather important internal information about the Taishang Ganying Sect and to provide the headquarters with lists and information.
