Human Traitor

Purple Cloud's suggestion, seemingly for Song Wen's benefit, was actually aimed at recruiting high-level Alchemist for the Two Forms Sect.

The Two Forms Sect is located in the Central Region of the Inner Sea and has Nascent Soul Peak cultivator in charge, making it the safest place in the entire Sea of Disorder.

However, Song Wen did not want to join the Two Forms Sect.

The Outer Sect Elder of the Limitless Sect enjoy a high degree of freedom, are not subject to excessive constraints, and do not need to leave Soul Lamp within the Limitless Sect; they can choose to leave at any time.

The Two Forms Sect, on the other hand, has much stricter management. Once someone joins, they cannot easily leave and must leave behind their Soul Lamp.

Just as Song Wen was pondering how to refuse Purple Cloud, An Tong arrived riding the wind.

When Song Wen saw her appear, he knew that she had something important to report.

An Tong is always cautious in her actions. Knowing that Purple Cloud is here, she would not come to disturb her unless it is something important.

"An Tong, what happened?" Song Wen asked.

"Reporting to Senior, the Starline Formation is showing abnormal activity; it should be an urgent message from the Limitless Sect," An Tong said.

Song Wen said, "I understand."

After saying that, Song Wen said to Purple Cloud.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, while I check the message."

"Please make yourself at home, fellow Daoist," Purple Cloud said.

A short while later, Song Wen, having read the message from the Starline Formation, returned to the pavilion on the island's summit.

"What is the purpose of the message from the Limitless Sect?" Purple Cloud asked.

"The Limitless Sect has ordered me to go to Limitless Island immediately. The specific reasons were not stated in the message," Song Wen said.

Purple Cloud's tone carried a hint of speculation, "The Limitless Sect is probably about to take action against the Demon Race gathered on the edge of the Western Region."

Song Wen looked at Purple Cloud with a furrowed brow.

"What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Ziyun said, "When I accompanied my master to pay respects to the Demon Lord and the Demon Venerable, the two seniors had a significant disagreement on how to deal with the demon race on the western edge of the Inner Sea."

"The Yinshuo Devil Master wanted to take the initiative and repel the demons. The Ye Hua, the Demon Venerable, however, thought this plan was too risky. He worried that Flying Eagle and Yuan Hao were hiding among the demons and might fall into a Demon Race if they took the initiative to attack."

"The Limitless Sect's sudden summons of you Outer Sect Elder likely indicates that the Devil Master and the Demon Venerable have reached a consensus to take action against the Demon Race."

Song Wen nodded; Purple Cloud's guess was indeed somewhat plausible.

"When will you return to the Two Forms Sect, fellow Daoist?" Song Wen asked.

With the great war of the Limitless Sect imminent, Song Wen wanted to follow Purple Cloud's advice and leave the Limitless Sect to go to Two Forms Island.

As for Zhu Yin, we'll try to contact her later; for now, saving our lives is the priority.

Purple Cloud's eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist, are you willing to join the Two Forms Sect?"

Song Wen shook his head. "I don't have that plan for now. I plan to stay on Two Forms Island temporarily. Whether to join the Two Forms Sect will be decided later."

Purple Cloud was not disappointed at all. As long as Song Wen Wenyuan went to Two Forms Island, her Infant Spirit Pill could be successfully refined.

Whether Song Wen joined the Two Forms Sect or not was not important to her.

"I will remain on Limitless Island for a while longer, waiting for my master and the two seniors to finalize the matter of the campaign against the Demon Race before returning to the sect. Fellow Daoist, it is not advisable for you to stay here any longer. Perhaps you should go ahead first. I will contact you when I return to Two Forms Island."

Song Wen said, "That's the only way."

After Purple Cloud took her leave, Song Wen called out An Tong and her sister.

"Extreme Yin, why have you summoned us junior sisters here?"

Song Wen said, "Go and pack your things. Take everything you can, and we're leaving the Limitless Sect."

"Senior, are we moving? Are we going to..."

An Yin instinctively wanted to ask where they were going, but her older sister stopped her.

An Tong said, "Senior, let's go pack up right away."

"Go, hurry up."

After Song Wen finished speaking, he disappeared from the top of the island.

He arrived at his cave abode and put away the array, Pill Furnace, Meditation Cushion cave abode, leaving the cave abode empty and just an ordinary Cave.

As for the An Tong sisters, they took much longer to pack up.

The spirit medicine in the spiritual fields at the top of the island will take a considerable amount of time to grow.

Song Wen decided to bring the two women along primarily because Song Wen needed someone to run errands for him.

Secondly, the two women got along quite well with Purple Cloud, and having them by his side would help to build a closer relationship with Purple Cloud and establish Song Wen's image as a kind-hearted person.

After all, it would be necessary to stay within the territory of the Two Forms Sect and strengthen the relationship with Purple Cloud for some time to come.

Fifteen minutes later, the two women finished packing and boarded the spaceship that was already ready to go.

The spaceship quickly disappeared into the vast sky.

The journey was smooth, and half a month later, the three arrived at the Four Symbols City on Two Forms Island.

Song Wen casually rented a courtyard outside Four Symbols City, and the three of them settled down there.

Five days later.

Song Wen received a message from Purple Cloud; she had returned to Two Forms Island.

Before long, Purple Cloud appeared at the courtyard where Song Wen was renting a place.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Song Wen asked the question.

"Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud, what is the situation on the Limitless Sect's side?"

Purple Cloud said, "Fortunately, you left early and didn't participate in the battle. This battle was far more intense than we imagined; the Limitless Sect lost six Golden Core cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"So... horrific?" A look of horror flashed in Song Wen's eyes. "What exactly happened? Why did this happen?"

Purple Cloud sighed and said.

"The Limitless Sect has fallen into the Demon Race's ambush. Just as Senior Ye Hua feared, Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao hid among the demons, catching the Limitless Sect off guard."

"Wouldn't Ye Hua and Yinshuo be in danger?" Song Wen asked hurriedly.

Purple Cloud said, "The Demon Lord and the Devil Master are seriously injured, but their lives are not in danger."

Hearing that Yinshuo was still alive, Song Wen felt a pang of disappointment. If Yinshuo had died, Zhu Yin would be safe, which would have been a good thing for Song Wen.

"Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao are both Fourth-Tier Peak Stage demons, how could they not be able to keep Yinshuo and Ye Hua here?" Song Wen asked, puzzled.

Purple Cloud smiled faintly, "The Demon Race used the 'luring the snake out of its hole' tactic to draw out the Limitless Sect. Our Human Race was not unprepared. Before the great battle began, my Two Forms Sect's Ancestor Xuanchengzi secretly arrived at the Limitless Sect. The four seniors, Xuanchengzi, my master, Yinshuo, and Ye Hua, joined forces. Although they could not kill Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao, they were safe."

"If that's the case, then how did Yinshuo and Ye Hua get injured?" Song Wen asked curiously.

"Snort!"

Purple Cloud suddenly snorted coldly, her face showing anger.

"It's all because there's a traitor among our Human Race."

"Traitor?" Song Wen asked in surprise, "Who?"

"Xing Wenyao!" Purple Cloud said through gritted teeth.

"Those schemes were probably all his doing. Only Nascent Soul Cultivator like him would understand how the Human Race Starsea Alliance operates and know that the four major Human Race forces wouldn't quickly form an alliance to conquer the Northern Region. That's why Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao dared to leave the Northern Region and secretly infiltrate the Western Region, hoping to crush the Limitless Sect in one fell swoop and further weaken the Human Race's strength."

"Xing Wenyao!" Song Wen's expression became even more surprised. "Wasn't he dead?"
