As a sleeper agent secretly cultivated by the Guardian Hall, Night Dream knew what she was doing.

Her parents had died when she was very young, sacrificing themselves on the battlefield in the fight against the Sole True Sect. She was only two years old at the time.

She joined the Dark Hall's intensive training program at the age of two and a half.

Along with Night Dream, there were a total of four hundred children of roughly the same age participating in the secret training at this base.

Later, some were reassigned to become assassins, some became assassins, and some were simply eliminated, either starting to work in internal affairs, or being sent to the Guardian Legion, or entering some functional departments.

In the end, only fifteen remained.

The cruel elimination system could not be described as sifting sand from gold.

The fifteen people were both male and female, and three of them had already sacrificed themselves while out on missions.

And Night Dream was the first of these fifteen. The highest aptitude, the most proficient in her skills, and the highest level of concealment.

Because of her particularly outstanding aptitude, she had been the focus of intensive training and various teachings; of course, it was also because this girl's appearance was a bit too enchanting.

Her eyes were too big.

And she still had a bit of natural baby fat.

She began to show off her cuteness as soon as she opened her eyes.

Even if she was shrewd as hell inside, on the surface she gave people a silly, dazed, and cute feeling.

Anyone who saw her would think that this little girl was silly, dazed, and definitely not very bright.

But she was naturally lovable.

With her eyes slightly drooping, she was a devastatingly beautiful enchantress; but when she opened her eyes, she instantly transformed from an enchantress into a cute little loli.

Everyone who saw her wanted to pinch her cheeks.

Such a talent, with outstanding Martial Arts Talent, they were simply reluctant to let her go.

Until this time, the higher-ups thought they could give it a try.

And Fan Tiantiao submitted a report, and upon hearing that it was just a small fry who had just joined the sect, and with such low strength, the safety factor was very high.

So he chose such a relatively safe mission and placed her next to Fang Che to give her some experience first.

After all, Fang Che's line had limited value.

Because his rank was too low, only a Martial Warrior, and only seventeen years old...

See if there was any harvest, and if there was no harvest, then they would just close the net.

It was like casting a wide net, letting Night Dream train.

But Night Dream was now completely confused.

The mission was going too smoothly! This Fang Che had given her the most relaxed environment to be a sleeper agent, and his reasons were all impeccable! The feeling he gave her was: that's indeed the case.

That's really how it should be! So even though Night Dream wasn't asleep, she felt like she was dreaming.

Dazed.

"Successfully infiltrated Fang Che's side."

"Fang Che's cultivation is around Martial Warrior fifth rank, with extremely good Martial Arts Talent; his cultivation speed is very fast. At this rate, he is guaranteed a spot in the top ten of the Guardian Martial Academy entrance competition in a month; he has a chance at the top three."

"Fang Che intends to cultivate me to assist him in the future."

"..."

She wrote a few simple lines in code and sent them out.

Next, Fang Che began to practice, not only was he diligent himself, but he also urged Night Dream to do the same, with even stricter demands.

He even went to a

"How is this possible?"

Imperceptibly, Night Dream suddenly felt somewhat lost.

I'll decide to take another look tomorrow.

Could it be that this is the most correct way? Or perhaps, something that no one before has discovered? Is it possible that what I practiced before wasn't the most correct method? Regardless of what Night Dream was thinking, Fang Che, now lying in bed, was secretly chuckling to himself.

She still let it slip, didn't she?

Hmph, a weak woman who has never undergone martial arts training, just recovered from a serious injury, holding an Azure Steel Sword weighing more than four pounds, was actually able to practice for an entire afternoon without her arms even swelling.

This girl is lucky to have met me.

Otherwise, she'd probably be starting with the torturous interrogations by now.

Morning.

Watching Night Dream fetch water, Fang Che snorted and said, "What, arms aching? I knew you were a good-for-nothing, just one afternoon of sword practice and you're like this? What a waste!"

Night Dream broke out in a cold sweat.

She suddenly realized that she had revealed such a big flaw!

She hurriedly said, "It's... the first time practicing with a sword, it felt very novel... I didn't pay attention to my body..."

"You need a mental cultivation method to coordinate with it. I'll teach you the mental cultivation method to practice today."

Fang Che snorted and said, "That's my master's unique skill."

"Your master?"

"Of course."

Fang Che said proudly, "My master is known as the Flying Saber King. You don't understand now, but you will in the future. The word 'King' represents something!"

Flying Saber King! Night Dream's heart trembled.

Countless pieces of information immediately surfaced in her mind. Flying Saber King, Sun Yuan; both righteous and evil, a rogue cultivator in the martial world.

Could it be...

"Young Master is so amazing!" Night Dream praised.

"Of course!"

Fang Che raised his head proudly, "This young master is a genius, and I associate with many big shots. What do you know?"

Night Dream chirped, "Big shots? I've never really seen any big shots before. In my heart, Young Master is the biggest big shot."

Fang Che said proudly, "How much do you know about the real figures in the clouds? Well, you've only just come into contact with Martial Arts Talent. Those above the clouds, like the Yin Shen Gong people I just met, you'll know about them in the future."

Yin Shen Gong? Night Dream suppressed the shock in her heart and shook her head in confusion, "I don't understand."

Fang Che waved his hand dismissively, "Talking to you is like casting pearls before swine. Alright, you can leave."

I'll quickly give you the time and space to send a message.

Yin Shen Gong definitely didn't come for my Initiation Baptism, because I'm not that important.

So his coming here definitely means something big! Report it quickly!"

Fang Che smiled silently. This was a message he deliberately released; firstly, the Sole True Sect Leader's movements must be a major event, this news is very important and must be acted upon without delay. Secondly, Night Dream just arrived, and by the time she gets familiar and automatically steals information, this matter will have passed.

Of course, there is a third reason, which is that it's not easy to have an undercover agent by his side, so he should quickly give her some credit and let her show some value.

Don't let her be a fool, and be withdrawn in a few days without finding out anything, then Fang Che would really be dumbfounded.

So, although the method is a bit low, for the time being, it works.

The next day was just practicing.

Seeing her son practicing so enthusiastically, Fang Qianyi also came over to practice with him.

Moreover, as she practiced, she kept praising, "Che'er, you have to say, what your master taught you is really useful."

Yes, Fang Qianyi also noticed the benefits.

Fang Che didn't care at all about this.

These are all his own people, the stronger the better.

Except for the Limitless True Scripture, which cannot be taught, everything else is fine.

In these few days, Fang Che has advanced the Limitless True Scripture a small step, entering the first level; while the Ice-Clear Spirit Platform and Shape-Shifting Bone Art have completely entered the basics.

Blood Spirit Seven Swords and Thirteen Styles of Divine Ape Heart Snatching have reached proficiency.

Of course, the most important thing is Sun Yuan's mantle inheritance, all kinds of saber techniques, body techniques, and mental techniques are all memorized by heart.

He is also carefully studying the knife, spear, sword, and halberd one move at a time.

And the Guardian has already started making arrangements.

Regarding Night Dream's information, only two people in the entire Guardian Hall are qualified to see it.

Chen Ruhai and Fan Tiantiao.

Two people who dislike each other, but must come together every day to discuss things.

"Flying Saber King Sun Yuan has been put under surveillance!"

Fan Tiantiao pondered with a distressed expression: "However, the key point in this piece of information is this sentence 'Fang Che mentioned the One Heart Sect Leader Yin Shen Gong today, the original words were: For example, Yin Shen Gong and others I saw today', hereby inform."

"This is the most important thing. This girl probably doesn't even know that she has passed on such extremely important information."

Chen Ruhai immediately perked up and pondered: "It's Yin Shen Gong, and Yin Shen Gong and others... this 'and others' is very worthy of consideration. Also, Yin Shen Gong, how did Fang Che meet Yin Shen Gong?"

Chen Ruhai said: "Fang Che is just an outsider of a ninth-grade small family. With his level, he doesn't even have the qualification to know the name of Yin Shen Gong. Now that he has seen him, there must be a reason."

"Yes. What's the reason?"

"The biggest possibility is that Yin Shen Gong is here, and he was seen by him, that is to say, Yin Shen Gong is in Azure Wave City?"

"What qualifications does he have to meet Yin Shen Gong?"

"The most likely scenario is the Initiation Baptism. Apart from something like that, there's no way he could meet Yin Shen Gong."

"So Fang Che has already joined the sect, that's a certainty."

"Yin Shen Gong is the Sect Leader of a sect, and the One Heart Sect's main base is definitely not here. Would he come all the way just to give Fang Che an Initiation Baptism? Isn't that making too much of a fuss?"

"Indeed, so Yin Shen Gong must have another reason for coming here! And it's a significant reason." Fan Tiantiao's face looked even more distressed.

"When Yin Shen Gong personally takes action, something big must be happening. Within a two-thousand-mile radius of here, what else is worth Yin Shen Gong making a trip for himself?"

The two of them spoke back and forth, quickly becoming more and more clear.

"If it's to attack the Guardian Hall, Yin Shen Gong shouldn't, and wouldn't dare. So..."

Chen Ruhai's gaze suddenly froze.

"Iron Blood Fortress?! Holy crap!"

"Report it immediately!"
