Is There Something Wrong With the Vice Sect Master?

The Demonic Sect launched a surprise attack on the locations of eight Haotian Caravans overnight.

Then... the Demonic Sect suffered heavy losses... news of their near annihilation spread throughout the world early the next morning.

The first reaction everyone has when they hear this news is, "Do you even want to listen to what you're saying?"

Is that even human language you're speaking?

The Demonic Sect launched a surprise attack on the Vast Heaven Sect's caravan, and then the Demonic Sect was almost completely wiped out? Who the hell attacked whom in this whole mess?

Soon, the details were obtained by all parties.

What the heck?

One hundred Demonic Sect sects launch a surprise attack on thousands of Haotian Caravans?

You Demonic Sect sects call this a sneak attack?

You Demonic Sects are truly brave!

You shouldn't have ambushed the Haotian Caravan; you should have attacked the Vast Heaven Sect directly. Since you're just throwing your lives away, wouldn't it have been faster to die by heading straight for the Vast Heaven Sect?

So, has the Demonic Sect gone mad this time? Is this your first step towards certain death—a self-destruction technique of the Witch Clan?

Organizing such a large-scale surprise attack to send people to their deaths?

The strongest raid in history?

Everyone was stunned. This time, not only the righteous path, but even the forces of the Demonic Sects were stunned.

Has Wu Xingyun lost his mind?

Why send it this way?

If you think your Demonic Shadow Sect has too many disciples, you can send them to our other sects. There's absolutely no need to send your disciples to their deaths.

Our sects would very much welcome you sending disciples...

Furthermore, could your Demonic Shadow Sect disclose which Big Smart strategist devised this plan?

We told our disciples to avoid associating with this person in the future, otherwise he could easily lower their intelligence to his level and then defeat us with his vast experience.

Such a brutal raid plan—could someone without a century-old stroke pull it off?

Those self-destructive raids are the kind where they kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own; even if they die, they at least make others suffer greater losses.

But a hundred people attacking thousands? What were you thinking, Demonic Shadow Sect?

Let alone outsiders, when the news reached the Vast Heaven Sect, the Grand Elder's first reaction upon seeing the records was, "This news is definitely suspicious!"

After repeatedly checking with the messenger to confirm the message was correct, the Grand Elder scratched his head, completely bewildered.

No! I can't be confused myself; I have to make the sect leader and vice sect leader confused with me.

So the news was quickly sent to Sect Gu Mingchao and Deputy Sect Master Yan Shoujing.

Gu Mingchao was completely stunned when he saw the message; his mind, like the Grand Elder's, couldn't quite process it.

As for Yan Shoujing... right now, Yan Shoujing's forehead was covered in question marks...

No way, I ordered you to launch a sneak attack, and this is how you do it? Did you even attack the caravan I specified?

What? Is it?

Can anyone explain why the caravan I designated suddenly has so many members? Do they all have Shadow Clones or something?

Yan Shoujing was completely stunned. What happened to the plan to inflict heavy casualties on the sect?

This time, the sect suffered heavy casualties, but this isn't my original sect, Vast Heaven Sect! This is the current sect, the Demonic Sect!

Yan Shoujing was completely bewildered, because he couldn't figure out what this was at all.

Soon, all the heads of the palaces arrived, and each of them was completely dumbfounded upon seeing the news.

Feng Fei also arrived, and Chu Xinghe was summoned along with him.

Upon hearing this news, Feng Fei was stunned for a full minute, but after that minute Feng Fei was covered in cold sweat!

Junior Brother Xinghe is truly a divine being!

Luckily, I told Junior Brother Xinghe the news and chose to listen to Junior Brother Xinghe advice.

Otherwise, the sect would have suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

If the Demonic Sect succeeds in this, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to atone with my death.

A group of bigwigs surrounded Feng Fei and asked him questions.

"Feng Fei, what exactly happened?" the Grand Elder asked with a serious expression.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, this is what happened..." Feng Fei, who was usually very tight-lipped, told everyone everything that had happened without hesitation.

First, the deputy sect leader arranged to change the route. Then, he felt unsafe, and Junior Brother Xinghe suggested that it would be safer to travel together.

And I followed Junior Brother Xinghe's instructions, which is why there were so many Haotian Caravans at that location.

After hearing this, the group of bigwigs stared at the equally shocked Chu Xinghe with utter disbelief!

Chu Xinghe was truly shocked!

What kind of nonsense is this? I was concerned about safety, that's true, but I had no idea the Demonic Sect would make a move!

So this time I really didn't do anything...

Yan Shoujing looked at Chu Xinghe with a calm expression.

Is this the legendary Demonic Sect Bane?

How exactly did I lose this game?

Had Chu Xinghe discovered he was a spy for the Demonic Sect? Was this why he took precautions in advance?

Or is it that Chu Xinghe was born with an attribute that inflicts a severe counter to the Demonic Sects? What the hell? I had the caravans change their routes to annihilate the sects, and now you're telling all the caravans to band together?

Are you even using a normal person's brain? Is there no one with a normal brain in the Vast Heaven Sect? I suddenly really miss Xiao Cui'er...

"Xinghe, you've uncovered the Demonic Sect's conspiracy again! Well done this time!" The Grand Elder was beaming with joy.

Gu Mingchao nodded frantically, and the group of chief ministers also expressed their approval.

Chu Xinghe was speechless. "What kind of the Demonic Sect conspiracy did I discover? I'm completely dumbfounded!"

The meeting ended happily amidst the double bewilderment of both the praised and bewildered Chu Xinghe and the even more bewildered Yan Shoujing.

However, after the meeting ended, Chu Xinghe and Feng Fei were left behind, leaving only the sect leader, the Grand Elder, and Chu Xinghe Feng Fei in the entire Haotian Grand Hall.

"Xinghe, what's your take on this?"

What do I think? My mind is completely blank right now... But Chu Xinghe knew very well that the Grand Elder wasn't asking that question.

The Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's route was classified, but the moment it was changed, the Demonic Sect suddenly appeared at eight different locations to launch a surprise attack?

Let's put aside why the Demonic Sect came to their deaths; let's just say this seems illogical.

"Elder, I think it was intercepted by the Demonic Sect when the modified route was being disseminated," Chu Xinghe stated his opinion.

The Grand Elder and Gu Mingchao exchanged a glance, both of them looking pleased.

Xinghe is truly a kind and righteous child. To be honest, while everyone seemed to be praising Xinghe, they all secretly wondered if this was too much of a coincidence. The one who changed the routes was the Vice Sect Master, and it just so happens that the eight routes that were altered were the ones that were attacked. So, the Vice Sect Master...

Of course, these things cannot be said directly.

After all, Yan Shoujing was Gu Mingchao's senior brother, and his status was extraordinary. It would be somewhat unreasonable to call him a spy.

Xinghe did not immediately suspect Yan Shoujing or Feng Fei, which pleased both the Grand Elder and the Sect Master.

What is the greatest fear of a sect leader?

Suspicion!

If a sect is constantly suspicious of its members as spies, it's bound to do badly.

Xinghe's first reaction wasn't to suspect Yan Shoujing and Feng Fei, but rather to believe that the message had gone wrong during its transmission. This is very good; it shows that the child is kind-hearted and unwilling to easily doubt anyone from any sect.

Feng Fei immediately knelt down before the Grand Elder!

"Elder, I, Feng Fei, would never betray the sect... I used only legitimate channels to spread this message."

After Feng Fei finished speaking, the Grand Elder immediately pulled Feng Fei up from the ground.

"Feng Fei, I watched you grow up. No need for explanations, I know what I'm doing."

The Grand Elder and the Sect Master exchanged a glance, and it was clear that the Sect Master had no doubts about Feng Fei either.

After all, Feng Fei has managed countless businesses within the sect over the years. Apart from occasionally taking a few spirit stones, he has done absolutely nothing wrong. No one can believe that this kid is a spy.

As for the Xinghe?

Stop kidding... Xinghe could be a spy?

"Elder, you suspect..." Gu Mingchao asked, but the elder shook his head and looked at Chu Xinghe.

"Xinghe, you've been learning formations from the Vice Sect Master lately, come... and demonstrate it."

"Huh?" Chu Xinghe had no idea what the Grand Elder meant by saying this.

But since the Grand Elder wants to demonstrate, then I'll demonstrate it too...

Soon, with a flick of his hand, Chu Xinghe unleashed a flurry of various formations!

One after another, the array formations descended, their impact brutal.

Even the sect leader and the first elder were stunned. Xinghe... is your formation really this domineering?

But what do you mean by casting such a powerful formation while simultaneously calling yourself a noob? Do you realize you're mocking everyone?

You don't want to learn anymore... You're going to defy the heavens! How can you not learn formations and not do justice to your sect?

After witnessing Chu Xinghe's near-explosive formation, the sect leader and the first elder's doubts about Yan Shoujing disappeared.

It's very simple... What's most important to the Vast Heaven Sect? It's not the Chamber of Commerce, it's Chu Xinghe, the Future successor.

Xinghe started learning formations from Yan Shoujing after returning to the Yan Shoujing. If the spy in this case really is Yan Shoujing, then logically speaking, shouldn't he be the first to frame Xinghe?

He was teaching the Xinghe Formation, and you must know that if you don't master the formation properly, things can go wrong. If Yan Shoujing were to cause any trouble during the teaching process and destroy the Xinghe Formation, wouldn't that be more damaging to the sect than destroying a hundred Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

But look at it now... Xinghe's formations are flawless, and his progress is so rapid, which shows that Yan Shoujing is really going all out to teach Xinghe.

You call Yan Shoujing of Xinghe, a spy? Does that make any sense?

The Grand Elder shared his thoughts, and the Sect Master nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Since the Grand Elder's analysis was flawless, Gu Mingchao felt that if he were a spy, he would definitely target Xinghe first. What would be the point of targeting Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

Therefore, it can only be as Xinghe guessed: the Demonic Sect may have used some method to intercept the Vast Heaven Sect's information dissemination channels.

While the Demonic Sect may seem to be throwing their lives away, Demonic Sect real intention is to sow discord within the Vast Heaven Sect. After all, the Vice Sect Master has just returned, and his change of the caravan's route seems completely illogical. This surprise attack would not only cause losses to the sect but also make the Vast Heaven Sect suspect Yan Shoujing, achieving two goals at once.

However, despite their meticulous planning, Demonic Sect Xinghe would so readily bind the Chamber of Commerce together to ensure their safety. The Demonic Sect's attempt to outsmart the system backfired spectacularly.

So it truly is a blessing from Vast Heaven!

Chu Xinghe was also completely bewildered. In fact, he had initially suspected that the Vice Sect Master was problematic, but the problem was that the Grand Elder's analysis was spot on... If the Vice Sect Master really had a problem, he should have targeted him instead. But look at him now, even practicing the formations taught by the Vice Sect Master backwards has resulted in rapid progress. To say that the Vice Sect Master is a spy seems a bit too far-fetched, doesn't it?

But then again, could there be a problem with the cultivation technique taught by the vice sect leader? Was it originally reversed? Did he accidentally discover it correctly? Or was he actually trying to harm him?

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe decided to test it. This time, he would practice the array formation method that the vice sect master had taught him, not backwards, but forwards. If there was a problem, it would mean that the vice sect master definitely had a problem!
