Qingfeng ruffled their robes as the group from the Cloud Mirror Gate watched the Golden Core cultivator from Changbai Peak depart. The latter was a spy sent to Jiao Province by Changbai Peak, one of the Six Sects of Mingguang.
Similar spies are deployed by all the major sects, including the Great Xuan Imperial Court, to gather information.
The Cloud Mirror Gate was no exception, except that they deployed fewer spies, not because they lacked manpower, but because they didn't need them.
Their most prized possession Cloud-Patterned Heaven-Monitoring Mirror, possesses the ability to see beyond ten thousand miles; whatever one wishes to know, a glance into the mirror will reveal the answer.
As long as it's not the Core Zone of a super sect, where there are powerful formations to conceal it, you can usually glean the information you want.
Information about Innate Lifeform was obtained by the Cloud Mirror Gate through the Cloud-Patterned Heaven-Monitoring Mirror. This led to a large-scale attack by the sect members, who attempted to capture Logo but were instead killed and became Logo's subordinates.
"Sect Leader, do we really have to submit to that inexperienced brat..."
Bang!
A figure flew out, a bright red handprint still visible on his cheek; this person was none other than Elder Hu.
Perfected Jingxuan withdrew his hand, coldly glancing at his disciples, and said, "If I hear any more disrespectful words towards our master, it won't be as simple as a slap!"
"The Lord does not hold our past mistakes against us, but instead bestows grace upon us, forgiving our lives and even granting us ' Life Seed ' to guard our spirits. If we are still not satisfied with such great kindness and virtue, then let us commit suicide. Don't force me to do it!"
The last sentence, chilling like ancient ice, sent a shiver down the spines of the entire Cloud Mirror Gate. They had never seen such a ruthless sect leader before in all these years.
"Walk!"
With a cold shout, Perfected Jingxuan rode on a white cloud, carrying his disciples on their way.
Behind him, a series of complex gazes swept over him, some filled with incomprehension, some with sorrow, and some with contempt.
Only the Grand Elder Yun Wuyue, the one who was invisible, truly understood Perfected Jingxuan's good intentions.
After a moment's thought, Yun Wuyue transmitted her voice, "Don't misunderstand our sect leader, especially Elder Hu. He treated you that way because he wanted what was best for you."
"For my own good, I cannot accept such kindness!" Elder Hu with a gloomy face and a hint of hatred in his voice.
He always valued his reputation, but when Perfected Jingxuan slapped him across the face in front of all his fellow disciples, he was so ashamed that he wished he could bury his head in the ground.
His respect for Perfected Jingxuan had completely vanished, and he even harbored a trace of resentment towards him.
Upon hearing Elder Hu's words, Yun Wuyue sighed and said, "Elder Hu, do you really think that the Master can't hear what you're saying?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Elder Hu was startled, and the others also looked up at Yun Wuyue.
"You must understand, that ' Life Seed ' is implanted deep within the soul. Every word spoken will inevitably touch the soul. Since this ' Life Seed ' has the ability to transmit sound over thousands of miles, do you think it transmits sound? Does it really use its mouth to speak?!"
Yun Wuyue said with great distress that he truly felt sorry for his senior brother, the sect leader, who was utterly exhausted by having such a group of good-for-nothing fellow disciples.
"So, Elder, you mean that everything we do is under the watchful eye of that little... no, under the Lord's watchful eye?" Elder Li Earth Dao cautiously.
"Don't forget how we used the Cloud-Patterned Heaven-Monitoring Mirror to spy on the every move of the small and medium-sized sects. Think back to those scenes yourselves! Now, it's just that the positions have been reversed, and we've become the ones being spied on!" Yun Wuyue sighed.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Cloud Mirror Gate exchanged glances, a chill involuntarily rising from the base of their spines and shooting straight into their heads!
Elder Hu, who had been quite resentful just moments before, turned deathly pale, glancing around nervously, fearing that Logo might suddenly jump out and kill him with a single sword strike.
Even the golden sword wound on his chest began to ache faintly.
After Yun Wuyue's words of advice, the entire Cloud Mirror Gate leadership fell silent for the rest of the journey, creating a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.
Upon sensing this scene, the Perfected Jingxuan ahead felt a mixture of relief and sorrow, and for a moment, he was stunned, gazing at the ever-changing clouds in the sky.
Compared to the conflicted and complex emotions of the Cloud Mirror Gate members, the Myriad Poisons Sect members quickly adapted to their new roles. Not only Li Wushe, but also Yin Jiuyou, Granny Gu, Granny Yao, and others, all soon acknowledged that Logo had become their master.
Even when their own sect's most prized Spirit Treasure, the Myriad Poisons Palace, was openly played with, they didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, they believed it was the privilege of the victor, and that the strong should act this way.
Logo, who had withdrawn his attention from the Cloud Mirror Gate, couldn't help but sigh at the stark difference in the ways these two sects operated, after witnessing the performance of the Myriad Poisons Sect.
However, it was merely a sigh; Logo didn't really care about the psychology of the two major sects.
All he needed to know was that these guys were afraid of death and had to obey his orders.
Since the Azure Wood Mountain Range were located within Jiao Province's territory, Logo and his group arrived at the Myriad Poisons Sect more quickly.
Before long, a massive rift valley filled with colorful, highly poisonous miasma appeared before Logo.
Li Wushe's enormous dragon head turned around, revealing a comical, obsequious smile. "My lord, we've arrived. This is our base Myriad Poisons Abyss."
"Um."
Logo replied casually, then his eyes lit up as he began to observe.
As he focused his gaze, many appearances were peeled away layer by layer, revealing the true nature of its Spirit Pattern.
"Just as I thought, the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the more active the Spirit Pattern are, the more numerous they are, and the higher their quality is compared to places with low spiritual energy!" This thought flashed through Logo's mind.
From his perspective, the Myriad Poisons Abyss had become a lake woven with interwoven Spirit Pattern, containing many mysteries. The Spirit Pattern flowed like Qingfeng, complex and mysterious, changing every moment.
It may transform into a venomous dragon soaring freely, or form a colossal array that permeates the Abyss, or become a deep and dangerous cave, or hide at the very bottom stirring up undercurrents.
"With such a wealth of Spirit Pattern gathered in one place, the disciples of the Myriad Poisons Sect have a much easier time acquiring and refining Spirit Pattern compared to smaller sects. No wonder they have been able to maintain their position as the overlord of Jiao Province for so long!"
"If the Myriad Poisons Sect is like this, what would it be like if it were the even stronger Black Tiger Mountain, Heavenly Martial Hall, or the Great Xuan Imperial Court...?"
Numerous thoughts surged through his mind. Logo's senses expanded, and with a gentle grasp, a squad of soldiers clad in black armor and wielding unusual weapons appeared in his hand.
"These must be the Dao soldiers trained by the Myriad Poisons Sect?" Logo asked casually.
Yin Jiuyou and the others standing behind him froze, their eyes widening in shock.
What they saw was that their master actually ignored their own sect's protective formation and directly captured a squad of Myriad Poison Dao Soldiers. This was something that even Manifestation Ascension cultivator couldn't do!
Where exactly does the Lord's limit lie?
