A Spectator Mission: No Interference Allowed

Chen Ning sensed the activation of the sect's protective formation in the courtyard and couldn't help but smile. This eighth brother of the sect was quite good at putting on a show.

At this moment.

A shapely figure slowly walked over.

It was Cang Yue.

"Master."

She slightly bent down and called out softly.

Chen Ning looked at her.

What is your purpose in coming here so late at night?

"Master, I wish to take my leave and return to Spirit Province."

"Oh?"

Chen Ning's eyes flickered slightly. "Has something happened in Spirit Province?"

"Everything is fine, but I need to see some old friends." Cang Yue's red lips moved slightly.

"Alright, we've established a firm foothold in Central Province. You can leave all sect affairs to the Third Elder and the others. Go back with peace of mind."

Chen Ning nodded.

With the sect-protecting formation in place, it is even more stable than the one left behind by Cang Yue.

After all, Cang Yue was only at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer.

To reach the same level as oneself.

It's quite a sad story.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Ning's cultivation level had almost surpassed Cang Yue's.

Even.

Even before he entered the Heaven Martial Realm, he was already able to fight against Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer expert.

"Oh, and you should take this Space Scepter with you too; it'll make things easier to travel back and forth."

Chen Ning took out the Top-Grade Spirit Artifact, the Space Scepter, and handed it to Cang Yue.

"Thank you, Master."

A gentle smile appeared on Cang Yue's exquisite face.

After she left.

Chen Ning's usually expressionless face showed some change.

"How interesting..."

That's why he agreed so readily.

This was largely because the system notification sounded at the same time as Cang Yue bid farewell to him.

The ultimate mission has been triggered.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the ultimate quest [Cang Yue] of your sect [Select]."

"Mission Introduction: As the Grand Elder of the sect, what choice will she make when faced with a difficult decision? Note: The outcome of this mission is influenced by Cang Yue's choice, and the host may not interfere."

"The rewards will differ depending on the choice made upon completion of the task."

It was precisely because of this character's sudden appearance.

Chen Ning did not delve further into the reasons why Cang Yue returned.

"They've even come up with a bystander mission; the system's getting more and more ingenious..."

But.

Although we cannot intervene.

But surely it's alright to just observe quietly?

Then.

Early the next morning.

Chen Ning then secretly returned to Spirit Province with Hua Luo.

Having mastered the Power of the Void, Chen Ning was able to travel through the void on his own.

It can directly break through spatial barriers.

Traversing through spatial turbulence.

However, to Chen Ning's surprise...

Hua Luo's physical body could actually withstand the spatial turbulence.

I had originally planned to use Protective Talisman to help Hua Luo resist the powerful turbulence.

In hindsight, I was overthinking it.

And this time, I returned to Spirit Province.

Besides Cang Yue's ultimate mission.

I'll also visit Su Ling'er while I'm at it.

Let's catch up with the Sword Immortal and the Wine Maniac Master again.

The Demon Battle Saint Sect.

Yin Dragon Pool).

"Sect Master, the Three Sha of the Demon Land have been completely wiped out..."

"What?"

Upon hearing the report from the Grand Elder below, Feng Moxiu felt his Qi and Blood surge and spat out a mouthful of turbid blood.

"Puff..."

The Demon Battle Saint Sect was already severely weakened.

Three more Heaven Martial Realm have fallen.

This is a fatal blow.

A wave of regret washed over me.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have made those arrangements.

At this time.

The Demon Battle Saint Sect now only has two Heavenly Martial Realm experts left.

Even including him.

We paid this price.

His ranking in the Demon Battle Saint Sect is definitely going to drop out of the top ten.

Thinking about this...

The Feng Moxiu cultivator nearly lost his footing; his vision went black, and he fell backward.

"Sect Master... Sect Master!"

The land of Spirit Province.

Although everything was in ruins after the Insect Race calamity.

However, it still retains its characteristics as a blessed place.

The recovery is proceeding in an orderly manner.

A blessing in disguise.

Many strange Spirit Plant sprouted from the soil.

Some of the Spirit Vein have even been revitalized.

The intensity of vital energy has also significantly increased.

Therefore.

The population has become more abundant.

It is not uncommon for practitioners from other states to establish their own sects here.

His Dragon-Seeking Sect has won him widespread popularity.

Therefore, its status in Spirit Province is similar to that of the Heavenly Lake Holy Land in Central Province.

Martial arts in Spirit Province began to flourish.

It will be just around the corner for us to rival the Central Province.

At this time.

The Great Yan Imperial Dynasty.

Inside the imperial palace.

A beautiful figure moved swiftly like a ghost.

At last.

We arrived at a side hall.

This person was none other than Cang Yue.

When she saw the figure opposite her, a complex expression appeared on her beautiful face.

It seemed to sense someone approaching from behind.

Yan Emperor slowly turned around and said affectionately, "Royal sister, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"No need to trouble yourself. What brings you back?"

Cang Yue's voice was clear and cold.

He had long since lost all affection for his elder brother, the emperor.

There was only exploitation between the two.

"Hahaha, my royal sister's temper is still the same, not changed at all. Following Sect Leader Chen to venture into Central Province, do you really think you can forget the past? You don't even care about Consort Xuan's life?"

As Yan Emperor finished speaking, his voice grew increasingly cold.

Upon hearing this...

Cang Yue's expression changed, and she said, "What exactly do you want? Over the years, I have been monitoring the Dragon-Seeking Sect's every move for you, but you still refuse to tell me where my mother is."

"What about the secret treasure? Why can't you get it yet?"

Yan Emperor's face darkened. "Back then, the transition between the old and new leaders of the Dragon-Seeking Sect was the best opportunity, but what about you? You got so close to him, yet you gained nothing! Now, Chen Ning has already soared to great heights, not only stabilizing the situation of the Dragon-Seeking Sect but also going to Central Province to clash with those overlords. Do you still have a chance now?"

Cang Yue's red lips parted slightly. "It's my incompetence."

Seeing Cang Yue's downcast expression.

Yan Emperor softened his tone and said, "Royal sister, we are ultimately bound by blood. How could I imprison Consort Xuan indefinitely? Isn't it all for the sake of my royal family? To seek an eternal legacy for my royal family?"

Consort Xuan was Cang Yue's birth mother.

She had a one-night stand with the previous emperor and gave birth to Cang Yue.

Because of her humble origins, she was merely a palace maid and therefore had no official title.

The title of Consort Xuan was only bestowed upon her by the current Yan Emperor.

The purpose was also to better control Cang Yue and make her work for the royal family.

Cang Yue originally had no name or status in the palace.

However, she later awakened her Fire Spirit Body and displayed extremely strong talent for cultivation, so she was named the eldest princess.

After several rounds of maneuvering, it was finally sent to the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

They became the eyes monitoring the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

The power of the Fire Spirit Body is beyond doubt.

This is also the key reason why Cang Yue was able to advance to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

"Your Highness, an opportunity is now before you. If you seize it, you will have redeemed yourself."

"Yan Emperor spoke slowly."

Cang Yue frowned and asked, "What opportunity?"

"Senior Lin, please come out for a chat."

Yan Emperor did not say it directly.

Instead, he spoke behind a screen.

Cang Yue looked puzzled.

A moment later.

Lin Yuan stepped out from behind the screen, looked at Cang Yue, and laughed, "I really didn't expect that the clever little girl from back then, now the Grand Elder of the Dragon-Seeking Sect, would actually be a traitor."
