"Sect Master!"
A figure who had formed a Golden Core immediately stepped forward and bowed to Li Xian with fanatical fervor.
Every major sect had planted covert agents. Those in the Golden Core Realm were already nearly the highest-ranking agents.
Above them were only those at the Spirit Refining level.
No faction could bear to use a Loose Immortal as a covert agent.
Of course, professionally trained agents could gain a Loose Immortal's trust, then infer their objectives from signs of their activities, thereby obtaining top-level intelligence.
"Thank you for your efforts. You may return to the sect now."
Li Xian nodded to him.
Golden Crow Fortress was the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect's largest stronghold guarding against the Great Luo Immortal Sect and threats from the north. Its many formations drew energy from Underground Fire Veins within a radius of 100,000 li, making its overall strength no less than that of Flame Furnace Fortress.
With Li Xian's formation expertise, which did not even qualify as half-baked, he could forget about breaking through this fortress's defenses through formations in this lifetime unless he destroyed the Underground Fire Veins bit by bit, like ants moving house.

Not long after Li Xian captured Golden Crow Fortress, streaks of light pierced the sky.
Three figures arrived in close succession.

Of these three, Huo Guang needed no introduction. Tang Ming was not only the acting Grand Elder of the Supreme Elders Council personally appointed by Lu Linyuan, but also an Earth Immortal specializing in the Void Great Dao, with exceptional movement arts.
His strength fell short of Ning Sirong's and Huo Guang's, but among all the Great Luo Immortal Sect's Loose Immortals, his mastery of movement arts was second only to Li
