Limitless Sect Traitor

"He is not dead. If he hadn't disguised himself as Limitless Sect- level cultivator from the Wuji Sect and then suddenly launched a sneak attack, Seniors Yinshuo and Ye Hua would not have been seriously injured," Purple Cloud said.

Song Wen looked incredulous. "The Xing Family was destroyed by the Demon Race. Millions of members of the Xing Family perished in the jaws of Demon Beast. How could Xing Wenyao possibly side with the Demon Race?"

Purple Cloud sneered, her eyes filled with disdain for Xing Wenyao.

"Aren't there plenty of despicable traitors like Xing Wenyao among our Human Race? For them, their own lives and cultivation are everything. For this, they are willing to abandon everything, even their closest relatives."

Song Wen looked up at Purple Cloud, and he had a feeling that when the other person said "despicable person," he included himself.

After hearing Purple Cloud's words, Song Wen suddenly remembered.

When Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao launched their Fangzhu Island, their timing was impeccable.

Just as Xing Wenyao and Xing Xinyu had Jing Wuming, Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao appeared, as if someone had notified them.

It now appears that Xing Wenyao had already secretly colluded with the Demon Race even before Fangzhu Island fell.

The Xing Family and Jing Wuming were merely "pledges of allegiance" offered by Xing Wenyao to the Demon Race in order to surrender.

But why would Xing Wenyao do this?

Why would a dignified patriarch of the Xing Family willingly become a lackey of the Demon Race?

"By the way, Extreme Yin, there's something that concerns you," Purple Cloud suddenly said with a serious expression.

Seeing Purple Cloud's serious expression, Song Wen immediately took it seriously.

"What is it?"

"Because you deserted your post, the Limitless Sect has listed you as a traitor and issued a kill order against you."

Purple Cloud changed the subject and continued.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Currently, the Limitless Sect has suffered a great loss of strength. As long as you don't set foot in the waters near Limitless Island, the Limitless Sect will have no way to deal with you."

Song Wen nodded, not taking the Limitless Sect's kill order too seriously.

As long as he waits for Zhu Yin to return and absorbs her Yin Essence, he can abandon the identity of 'Extreme Yin', and the Limitless Sect will have no chance of finding him.

Purple Cloud looked around the courtyard and changed the subject.

"Extreme Yin, is this where you intend to cultivate?"

The courtyard where Song Wen rented had a relatively low concentration of Spiritual Qi, which was obviously not satisfactory for a Golden Core cultivator like Song Wen.

Song Wen said, "I'm only using this as a temporary place to stay. If a place with richer Spiritual Qi comes along, I'll move on then."

With a flick of her wrist, Purple Cloud produced a token.

"I have a cave abode on Skyvault Peak. If you don't mind, you can stay cave abode temporarily."

Skyvault Peak is located north of Four Symbols City, about 50 li away from the city.

Only a dozen Two Forms Sect cave abode have been built on this mountain, and these are the cave abode with the most abundant Spiritual Qi among those rented out by the Liangyi cave abode.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Song Wen accepted the token without any hesitation.

He knew perfectly well that Purple Cloud had lent him her cave abode only to increase the success rate of the Infant Spirit Pill.

After all, there are quite a few cultivators renting rooms in the courtyard where Song Wen is currently staying, and it is not uncommon to see some cultivators flying through the air.

If the Alchemy to fail due to interference from these cultivators at a crucial moment, it would be an unacceptable loss for Purple Cloud.

"There's no time like the present, let's head to Skyvault Peak now!" Purple Cloud said.

She was impatient and wanted Song Wen to start refining the Infant Spirit Pill.

"Okay," Song Wen said.

Purple Cloud summoned a spaceship, carrying Song Wen and the An Tong sisters, and flew towards the direction of Skyvault Peak.

Skyvault Peak truly lives up to its name, piercing straight into the clouds as if connecting with the heavens.

The mountain peaks are towering, with sheer cliffs that rise and fall as if cleaved by a knife or axe.

The eastern side of Skyvault Peak faces the sea, where waves crash against the cliffs, creating a deafening roar.

Purple Cloud's cave abode is located on a cliff overlooking the sea.

Apart from a formation that prevents outsiders from entering, the cave abode is completely empty.

There are three secret rooms inside the cave abode.

In the most spacious secret room, Song Wen and Purple Cloud sat facing each other.

"Extreme Yin, when will you be able to start refining the Infant Spirit Pill?" Purple Cloud asked.

Song Wen said, "Anytime is fine."

A hint of joy flashed across Purple Cloud's face as she handed over a Storage Bag.

"These are the spirit medicine for two Infant Spirit Pills."

Song Wen did not take the Storage Bag, but said...

"Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud, I will certainly do my best to refine the Infant Spirit Pill. However, the Alchemy process is full of unknowns and variables. Although I have successfully refined the Infant Spirit Pill before, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to refine Infant Spirit Pill again."

Purple Cloud said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I also have some knowledge of alchemy and understand the risks involved. As long as you do your best, I will not blame you for whatever the outcome."

"That's good."

After saying that, Song Wen took the storage ring from Purple Cloud's hand.

"Fellow Daoist, please focus on Alchemy. I will go outside the secret chamber to protect you."

After Purple Cloud finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the secret room.

In the secret chamber, Song Wen set up the <Netherconcealing Void-Spirit Formation>, and then began to meditate, regulate his breathing, and calm his mind.

Three months later, the stone door to the secret chamber opened.

Song Wen emerged from the secret room, looking slightly tired.

He was also holding a jade bottle in his hand.

The sound of the stone door opening immediately alerted the sisters Purple Cloud and An Tong, who were guarding the cave abode.

An Tong and An Yin sat cross-legged in front of Purple Cloud seemed to be instructing the two women on their cultivation.

Purple Cloud immediately turned around, and in a flash, she arrived at the door of the secret chamber.

Her eyes were fixed on the jade bottle in Song Wen's hand, a hint of nervousness and anticipation in them.

"Has the Extreme Yin Infant Spirit Pill been successfully refined?"

Song Wen handed over the jade bottle, saying...

"The second batch of pills was successfully condensed, while the first batch failed."

Upon seeing this, Purple Cloud smiled with delight and quickly stepped forward to take the jade bottle from Song Wen's hands.

After checking the Infant Spirit Pill in the jade bottle and confirming that there was no problem, she said.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Your alchemy skills are indeed superb."

Song Wen waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for thanks. Our relationship is merely mutually beneficial."

He was reminding the other party that now that the Infant Spirit Pill had been refined, Purple Cloud should also keep her promise and hand over her Nascent Soul cultivation insights to Song Wen.

Purple Cloud instantly understood what Song Wen meant and took out a Jade Slip.

"This is what you need, fellow Daoist. I hope you will take good care of it and not lose it."

Song Wen nodded, took the Jade Slip, and asked.

"What has been the situation between the human and demon races during my seclusion?"

Purple Cloud said, "Since the battle in the Western Region, the situation has not changed significantly. Due to the serious injuries of our two seniors, Yinshuo and Ye Hua, the Human Race's plan to form a coalition army has also been delayed."
