Never Let a Spy Leave Empty-Handed!

The Vast Heaven Sect is only one step away from becoming the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but this step will not be taken by the Vast Heaven Sect itself; rather, it requires the entire world to crown the Vast Heaven Sect.

The strength of the Vast Heaven Sect certainly doesn't need external recognition, but reputation is sometimes like that.

Only when the whole world voluntarily acknowledges Vast Heaven Sect as a holy land will Vast Heaven Holy Land truly deserve its title.

If you want others to acknowledge you, you first need to let them know about you.

Since the Vast Heaven One-Day Tour began, countless people from both the Blazing Sun Continent and the Demon Star Continent have entered the Vast Heaven Sect to learn about it...

The true strength of the Vast Heaven Sect has repeatedly shattered everyone's worldview.

For example, Hua Xizhong...

Hua Xizhong's worldview has been completely shattered!

I cried myself to sleep for the first few days... I dreamed about how I could get into the Vast Heaven Sect.

I'm all prepared to sacrifice myself...

But now you're telling me that the Vast Heaven Sect doesn't require self-sacrifice, and we can just join a group tour for a one-day trip to the Vast Heaven Sect?

Will there be any screening or vetting? Will they investigate my identity?

Could this be a sting operation used by the Vast Heaven Sect to entrap law enforcement?

How can we use this method to expose the spy?

Just as Hua Xizhong was looking puzzled, someone next to him spoke up, "Brother... I can tell you're a spy from out of town..."

"You... you're talking nonsense... I... I'm a good spirit... a good person!"

"Right, right... brother, you're right. I didn't say you weren't a good person. Spies aren't necessarily all bad people..."

"You... you... you're lying! I... I'm not a spy..."

"Brother... there's no need to hide anything... I've seen plenty of spies... I even formed a spy squad last month... Don't worry, I have no prejudice against spies... I treat them all equally, and spies get a 20% discount!"

"Can... can I get a discount?"

"Hey... that's more like it... they're just spies... what's so shameful about it? Our Vast Heaven Sect sends thirty to fifty thousand spies every month... Don't worry, our Vast Heaven Sect's day tours are exceptionally considerate; we absolutely won't discriminate against spies. Just sign up for my spy tour, and I guarantee you'll have a very fruitful trip, and you'll be able to give your superiors a clear explanation when you get back. You won't leave empty-handed... Come on... sign this brother up for the spy tour..."

Hua Xizhong: "..."

"Don't give this guy the wrong information... The route for the regular group is different from that of the spy group. The regular group mainly focuses on sightseeing... You may not know this, but the spy group can gain in-depth knowledge of the Vast Heaven Sect's various secrets, which will help your business development."

Hua Xizhong: "..."

"Don't be embarrassed, bro... Last month, two spies refused to admit they were spies and insisted on joining a regular tourist group. Guess what happened... In the end, their gains were nowhere near as good as the spy group's... I heard they got a real dressing down when they got back."

"Brother, our Vast Heaven Sect prioritizes openness; we absolutely won't let any scout return empty-handed... Come, brother, this is your scout group's insignia, put it on... Also, pay the fees, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

Hua Xizhong used the money he earned from Demon Demon Express to pay the spy group's membership fee... and then received the spy group's emblem...

At this moment, Hua Xizhong was filled with question marks.

Just as Hua Xizhong was bewildered, someone nearby spoke up, "Brother... you look like a newbie spy... don't be nervous. Vast Heaven Sect is different from other places. Other places arrest spies... but they don't here. Here, as long as you report your spy group normally, you can legally and legitimately investigate Vast Heaven Sect..."

"Yeah, yeah... Brother, let me tell you, this is my eighth time joining the spy team... I'm getting tired of it myself, but the higher-ups insist on me investigating again and again... What's there to investigate about the Vast Heaven Sect anyway...?"

"Who says otherwise... Brother, which side are you on? The Demonic Sect or the Demon Star Continent? I'm from the Demonic Cloud Sect... Let's be friends, and explore the Vast Heaven Sect together sometime..."

And so... Hua Xizhong successfully signed up for the spy team... but Hua Xizhong always felt that something was not quite right...

Is this really the Vast Heaven Sect?

Why is it completely different from what I expected?

Is the Vast Heaven Sect entrapping someone? They definitely are...

Are they going to kill me in the middle of the night?

Hua Xizhong thought about it... and realized that being killed wouldn't be so bad... he wouldn't have to continue... death would be a relief...

But Hua Xizhong waited all night... and no one made a move on him. When there was a knock on the door at dawn, Hua Xizhong thought he was going to be arrested... but it turned out to be the leader of the spy tour group informing him that they were going to enter the Vast Heaven Sect...

Hua Xizhong wondered, were they planning to lure him in and then kill him?

Filled with unease, Hua Xizhong embarked on a one-day tour of the Vast Heaven Sect...

"Greetings, fellow spies. I know you all come from different factions... and I've even met a few of you before... That one seems to be a spy from the Demonic Cloud Sect... Hello, hello... Thanks for your support... That one, no need to hide anything, I can tell you're a spy from the Ape Clan... We're old acquaintances, no need to be secretive..."

"And that young lady, she looks familiar... Is Demonic Sect or the Demon Race?"

"Demon Race..." the girl said shyly.

"Hey, hey, that's right... Hello fellow spies, I'm your tour guide for this Vast Heaven day trip. You can call me Little Wang. Although we come from different factions all over the country, as the saying goes, it's fate that we're here together... I, Little Wang, know how difficult it is to be a spy. The pressure of our own reconnaissance missions is immense, and we face all sorts of misunderstandings from our superiors... If we make a mistake at work, we don't get any protection."

"But please rest assured, that's all in the past... Such problems don't exist at the Vast Heaven Sect. Please follow along with Little Wang. If you need any answers, don't be shy... You can ask Little Wang directly. Little Wang guarantee I will answer all your questions clearly and ensure you complete your mission flawlessly..."

"Make sure you all go back and give your superiors a clear explanation!"

Hua Xizhong: "????????"

"Speaking of the Vast Heaven Sect, Little Wang say a few words. Compared to other sects that keep information tightly under wraps and guard against all threats, our Vast Heaven Sect doesn't have that habit. Nothing in the Vast Heaven Sect is off-limits to anyone, emphasizing safety and peace of mind. Now, we've arrived at the Vast Heaven Sect's mountain gate. The gate is forged from black jade, and the three characters 'Vast Heaven Sect' on it were personally written by the tenth Great Emperor Haotian."

"The ones guarding the Vast Heaven Sect's mountain gate are the Bear Clan from the Demon Star Continent... Please look to my left, those are the Bear Clan warriors on patrol. But don't worry, although we are a scout group, we have already reported our presence, and the Bear Clan warriors will not harm us."

"Keep walking forward, and you'll see Elder Xiong Feng, the Little Bear King. Elder Xiong Feng is at the peak of the Martial God realm and is responsible for guarding the Haotian Sect's mountain gate. Oh dear... you are all very fortunate today, as you happen to witness Elder Xiong Feng nursing his father, the Old Bear King. This is quite a rare sight... You're not mistaken, the one Elder Xiong Feng is holding is the Old Bear King... The Old Bear King's cultivation has recently just entered the ranks of the Half-Step Profound God. Truly, the heavens bless Haotian!"

Hua Xizhong's mind went completely blank as he listened to the introduction...

Is this something we can just say? Is the Vast Heaven Sect serious?

Wasn't this spy group supposed to lure us in to kill us? Is it really appropriate for them to give us such detailed instructions out of the blue?

And... the gatekeeper is actually Martial God? And he's even accompanied by a father... Half-Step Mystic God?

Your Vast Heaven Sect... has already deployed Half-Step Mystic Gods to guard the gate, is that right?

Our four clan leaders are only at the Half-Step Mystic God... and you, a father and son duo who are just gatekeepers, are comparable to our clan leaders? Is this the Vast Heaven Sect?

Just as Hua Xizhong was completely dumbfounded, he saw several scouts in the group already taking memory crystals to take photos with Elder Xiong Feng.

Hua Xizhong was completely dumbfounded... You can take photos here?

"Brother... don't look at me like that. I can tell you're inexperienced as a spy for the first time... The Vast Heaven Sect values people, but we also pay attention to the completion of our spies' missions. Otherwise, how would we prove we were here if we didn't take photos? So what are you waiting for... go take the photos!"

"I... I didn't bring the memory crystal..." Hua Xizhong, his eyes brimming with tears...

"Hey bro, this is so unprofessional... Is your spy training always this lax? Good thing you found my team, come on over, I'll sell you the Memory Crystal at 20% off..."

Hua Xizhong bought a memory crystal... and then went up to take a photo with the Little Bear King and the Old Bear King...

"Smile... bro, smile... no need to look so sad... just smile..."

Hua Xizhong forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Led by Little Wang, the group then passed through the mountain gate of the Vast Heaven Sect and entered the Vast Heaven Sect.

"Gentlemen... the Vast Heaven Sect used to have eighteen palaces, but now it has surpassed eighteen. In addition to the original eighteen palaces, the Vast Heaven Sect has now added the Artifact Refining Palace of the Ouyang Lineage... the Dark Moon Palace of the Dark Moon Clan... the Nether Snake Palace of the Snake Clan... and so on... But don't worry, Little Wang will guide you through each palace one by one to learn about the stories behind them..."

At this moment, Hua Xizhong saw the other spies around him taking out paper and pen, listening and taking notes, and tears welled up in his eyes...

Finally, Hua Xizhong borrowed paper and pen from the girl next to him and meticulously wrote down all the information about the Vast Heaven Sect...

The problem is, Hua Xizhong really wants to know... is what he wrote even useful?

Can I leave the Vast Heaven Sect on my own?

"Everyone, our first stop is the Artifact Refining Palace Artifact Refining Palace located on the front mountain. Built by Chu Xinghe, the palace master, Ouyang Ming, is the greatest weapon forger of our time. His creations include unparalleled treasures such as the Light of Xinghe and a series of divine weapons... Back when the Ouyang Lineage entered the Vast Heaven Sect, it was Chu Xinghe who saved Ouyang Lineage from ruin..."

Upon hearing about the weapon crafting, Hua Xizhong revealed a disdainful expression... It should be noted that the Hua Family Clan, to Hua Xizhong belonged, was a clan that worshipped the Vermilion Bird, and the Hua Family Clan's inheritance in the art of weapon crafting was arguably the most top-tier.

The Hua Family's strongest weapon refiner, while not capable of crafting divine artifacts with ease, has certainly forged countless divine artifacts.

Even if the Ouyang Lineage is powerful, can they compare to our Hua Family Clan's super weapon-refining master?

The divine weapons forged by the master craftsmen of our Hua Family Clan have accompanied our Hua Family's strongmen in countless battles... slaying countless powerful figures!

Can the Light of Xinghe, the divine weapon forged by the Ouyang Lineage, achieve this?
