All of these would become chips he could use in his future plans.
The intelligence regarding the Formation Hall in particular, along with the list of elders and disciples who might have been corrupted by Demonic Qi, was of the utmost importance.
"The Formation Hall Master, Sikong Ya, is at the Saint God Realm Peak. He's rigid and old-fashioned, but his attainments in formations are extremely high. He has a decent personal relationship with Gu Xuantong..."
"The Law Enforcement Hall Elder, Iron Face, is at the Saint God Realm Peak. He's impervious to reason, but his most beloved granddaughter seems to have been afflicted by a strange poison. He's searched everywhere for famous physicians, but to no avail..."
"The Transmission Elder, Zhao Tianji, is at the Saint God Realm Peak. He's greedy for wealth and lustful, and has been involved with multiple female disciples..."
One piece of information after another flowed through Yang Lingtian's mind as he rapidly organized and analyzed it.
His fingers tapped lightly against his knee, producing a rhythmic sound.
Each tap seemed to represent the birth of a conspiracy, the placement of another chess piece.
"That Demonic Beast in Xuanling Cave Heaven has been trapped for many years. Its strength must have been greatly diminished, yet it can still remotely control Gu Xuantong."
"It can even influence other elders and disciples. Its strength is unfathomable—at the very least, it still possesses the strength of the Divine Sect Realm."
"It's desperate to escape. It will certainly do everything it can to urge Liu Ruyan, or its other chess pieces, to provide it with more 'nourishment.'"
"That's a weak point." A sharp glint flashed through Yang Lingtian's eyes.
"I not only need to play Liu Ruyan's part, I also need to make him serve that devil 'more actively.'"
