Qing Chen sat on the Cold Jade Bed, his gaze sharp as a blade, and said gravely, "Changsheng, I entrust this important task to you!
"As my trusted confidant, you should know how much is at stake. You will take the lead this time, with Duan Tianya, Jueqing, and Yuwen Bujing at your side.
"I will have you bring Chang Ping'an and muster three banners, fifteen hundred Demon Guards in all. Break into small groups and head to Wuji Island. You need not concern yourself with the checkpoints.
"Remember, in the open, there will be only you, Chang Ping'an, and a few dozen Demon Guards.
"In secret, have Duan Tianya, Jueqing, and Yuwen Bujing each command one banner and quietly infiltrate the surrounding area. The Condensed Jade Sect's External Affairs Hall will help you."
At this point, Qing Chen's gaze grew even more piercing, as though he meant to see through the secrets in one's heart. "This journey to Wuji Island has two purposes.
"First, on the surface, you are to invite the Infinite Extremity Devil Palace's Golden Core elder to a banquet.
"Second, and most importantly, you must keep Chang Ping'an under close watch.
"Pay attention to his every move at all times. If he makes any unusual moves, report to me immediately. You must not slacken in the slightest!"
"Furthermore," Qing Chen shifted the subject, his tone growing harsher:
"Su Zixuan, Han Shi, Ren Carefree, Xie Yu, Yue Ting, and the others-send them orders immediately. They must keep watch over every member of the Chang Household.
"Remember, every single person, from the oldest elders to the youngest children. Not one is to be overlooked! Throughout the Chang Household, even a fly's life and death must lie within our demonic sect's control!
"As for manpower, you need not worry.
