Chu Xingchen smiled faintly. Rather than answer Xie Lingyu, he asked:
"What intelligence do we have this time?"
After briefly thinking it over to confirm, Xie Lingyu replied:
"According to the Great Dao Sect's intelligence, one of the Evil Cultivator leaders came from here. His cultivation also advanced very quickly, far faster than that of ordinary Evil Cultivators. Even with impressive talent, it doesn't look like the progress of a cultivator without any foundation who stumbled down the wrong path."
"Yuyang thinks some Evil Cultivators may have been specially selected. Perhaps the Demon hasn't helped openly, but there must have been support behind the scenes."
"He also thinks that this place is extremely close to Fuyao Immortal City. If someone really wanted to experiment with something without being easily discovered, keeping abreast of information might be far more important than finding a suitable location."
Chu Xingchen shifted his gaze. "What does Lady Lingyu think of what that boy Yuyang said?"
Xie Lingyu looked over and saw the corners of Chu Xingchen's eyes lift slightly, as though he were teasing her:
"It makes some sense, of course. Besides, we have the Great Dao Sect's intelligence to back it up. What, do you think I'm stupid?"
Chu Xingchen's expression instantly turned serious:
"No. I just don't think that boy Yuyang's little brain could think things through so clearly. Only Lady Lingyu's wit and intelligence could produce such meticulous thinking."
Xie Lingyu naturally understood that Chu Xingchen was half coaxing and half teasing her. She paid it no mind and returned to business:
"Let's get to work. We already have that person's exact name and address. Where do you plan to start? We'd best not stir the grass and startle the snake, lest we make it difficult for the people following other leads
