Pei Buchong continued.
"Judging by the way Tian Xingwen has acted, he's already at Qianyu Sect but doesn't want anyone to know he's there. We can be fairly certain he came as Qianyu Sect's contingency.
"Su Nanzi suffered a crushing setback last time, and he knows the attacker was a Five Immortals Sect cultivator. That exposed Qianyu Sect's true nature.
"He'll have analyzed the situation too. He must think our sect might strike at them again, so perhaps he invited Tian Xingwen himself, or perhaps Yin-Yang Chaos Sect sent him.
"The idea would be to lay a long-term ambush if they can't find Junior Brother Li. They'd wait until we thought we had an opening, then hope we stepped straight into their trap.
"We've laid similar traps for them ourselves. Sometimes one can remain in place for hundreds, even a thousand years. If the enemy falls for it just once, the blow will be devastating.
"Liang Xuhe and the other cultivator are stationed here, so they don't know whether Su Nanzi and Tian Xingwen have been at the sect lately.
"But my infiltration all but confirmed that both men are there. Now that much is clear, we need to decide what to do next.
"Junior Brother Li and I think we must find a way to grievously injure or kill one of them first. Otherwise, even with the three of us, facing two veteran Body Integration Realm cultivators would be extremely dangerous.
"They have a net spread and waiting. They don't know when we'll appear, but they'll certainly be on guard the moment anything happens. One wrong move, and we could be the ones who die here!"
