Upon hearing his name, Li Yunjing's breathing quickened slightly.

Fortunately, Li Yunjing controlled himself well and didn't let Rogue Person Baixiao notice.

"Li Yunjing, it's him." Rogue Person Baixiao suddenly realized.

However, he immediately shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

"I've heard that this person has recently gained a good reputation within the Immortal Alliance and has attracted the attention of many important figures within the Immortal Alliance."

Unfortunately, being targeted by these insects, I'm afraid my chances of survival are slim.

Li Yunjing pretended not to understand.

"Given the attention they've received from many important figures in the Immortal Alliance, how dare these bandit cultivators be so arrogant? Aren't they afraid of death?"

Rogue Person Baixiao laughed and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have become a bandit cultivator."

Those who become bandit cultivators have all already considered risking their lives as a matter of course.

After a pause, Rogue Person Baixiao spoke again:

"Besides, it's just that we've caught the attention of some important figures in the Immortal Alliance."

These bandits have plenty of patience; once they kill Li Yunjing, they'll immediately go into hiding.

Hiding for three to five years, or even more than ten years, is not a problem.

As time passed and the heat died down, the Immortal Alliance's investigation into the matter weakened, and these rogue cultivators were able to reappear openly.

Previously, a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had died tragically, and it was this group of bandit cultivators who did it.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is still investigating the bandit cultivator who committed the act, but has made no progress.

It's unclear what methods these bandit cultivators used to evade the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's pursuit.

This is one of the Five Provinces, on par with the Immortal Alliance.

Listening to Rogue Person Baixiao's words, Li Yunjing felt that his chances of survival were slim.

Dealing with such a group of desperate criminals was quite a challenge for Li Yunjing.

Of course, Li Yunjing was more concerned about who issued the Hero Token.

Carefully reflect on the journey I have taken.

There were people I offended, but not many.

The most numerous were those from the Clear Wind Sect.

How could Clear Wind Sect, a righteous sect, be associated with bandit cultivators?

Or perhaps it's not Clear Wind Sect, but rather the Holy Venerable Sect?

But he himself did not participate in the operation to eradicate the Holy Venerable Sect.

At most, they might discover that the Holy Venerable Sect has its own merits.

Why target me specifically?

I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out.

Li Yunjing thought for a moment and then walked over there.

Rogue Person Baixiao was somewhat surprised and puzzled by this.

However, he followed Li Yunjing towards the group of bandits.

At this moment, all the bandits and cultivators were communicating in hushed tones using their industry slang.

I'm not a professional hacker, so I have no idea what these people are talking about.

These bandit cultivators didn't care at all about the attention from outsiders.

The fact that they were openly plotting in broad daylight puzzled Li Yunjing.

Before long, the group of bandits dispersed.

Li Yunjing stood there, completely bewildered.

He had originally intended to infiltrate the bandit group to see if he could gather any information.

Unexpectedly, these bandits communicated using coded language, which Li Yunjing didn't know.

Therefore, none of the bandits were willing to discuss this with Li Yunjing.

"Fellow Daoist, what were you trying to do just now?" Rogue Person Baixiao asked curiously.

Li Yunjing snapped out of his reverie and said, "It's nothing, I was just curious why these bandit cultivators would be plotting so loudly in broad daylight."

Rogue Person Baixiao smiled:

"These are all schemes devised by these bandits."

The purpose was to make this matter known to others, thereby causing panic in reality.

The more chaotic the reality, the easier it is for them to take action.

Moreover, they have several sets of slang, and they use different ones every month.

Unless you infiltrate them and gain their trust, you won't know what they're talking about.

Moreover, even if one manages to infiltrate it, one will still have to undergo a series of trials.

To be honest, these bandit cultivators are more like sects than any sect itself, with all those rules and regulations... tsk tsk...

"By the way, do you know what they were talking about just now?" Li Yunjing suddenly looked at Rogue Person Baixiao.

Rogue Person Baixiao smiled confidently.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come to the right person. Coincidentally, I know a little bit about this."

Those bandit cultivators just switched between at least five different slang terms, discussing a wide variety of topics.

However, I did hear the key information clearly.

Firstly, the one who issued this Hero Token was a guy with the Buddhist name Mountain-Subduing True Person.

Secondly, this group of bandits will make their move next month; as for the specifics, we'll wait for instructions from that guy named Mountain-Subduing.

Third, there are quite a few bandit cultivators involved in the operation, as many as eleven, all of whom are at the Golden Core Stage.

There was even a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Perfection who planned to participate in this operation.

However, I don't know where the operation will take place.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing cursed Mountain-Subduing True Person inwardly.

They really think highly of themselves, spending a fortune to ruin themselves.

Even cultivators who have reached the Golden Core Perfection can participate.

"I see." Li Yunjing pretended to suddenly understand.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist."

Li Yunjing took out five Low-Grade Origin Essence from his pocket.

Rogue Person Baixiao rubbed his hands together.

While saying, "How could I possibly accept this?"

They quickly took the Origin Essence and carefully stored it away.

Without lingering in Carefree Heaven, Li Yunjing left immediately.

After Li Yunjing left, Rogue Person Baixiao stood still.

"He's so attentive, could he be Li Yunjing?" Rogue Person Baixiao wondered to himself.

Shaking his head, Rogue Person Baixiao denied the idea.

"How could that be? That's too naive. It's already quite remarkable that such a person would be so calm and composed, not looking down on others."

Perhaps he was thinking of using this opportunity to curry favor with Li Yunjing...

On the other side, Li Yunjing's consciousness returned to his physical body.

Li Yunjing opened his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.

The two Netherworld Serpent lying at Li Yunjing's feet sensed their master's emotions and stood up straight, flicking their tongues.

"Mountain-Subduing True Person, Golden Core cultivator... I'll go ask Senior Sikong." Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

He let two Netherworld Serpent crawl into his sleeve.

Li Yunjing stepped out of his cave abode.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened completely.

The moon and stars are sparse.

Li Yunjing was surprised.

When he returned to the Luozhen Sect, it was still noon.

They had only stayed in Carefree Heaven for a little over an hour, so how could it be evening already?

Shaking his head, Li Yunjing still flew through the air on his sword, heading towards Xunxian Town.

At this time, Sikong Ying and the others should still be within the Immortal Alliance.

Sure enough, when Li Yunjing arrived at the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance,

Sikong Ying happened to be leaving with another Golden Core True Person from the Immortal Alliance.

Upon encountering Li Yunjing, Sikong Ying quickly spoke:

"Sect Leader Li, how about we go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a drink?"

Li Yunjing stepped forward, shook his head, and said, "No need. I came here to ask Senior Sikong something."

Seeing Li Yunjing's serious expression, Sikong Ying also straightened her face and said, "You speak."

"Does Senior Sikong know Mountain-Subduing True Person?" Li Yunjing asked.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Ying frowned and thought carefully.

However, the Golden Core True Person beside him immediately spoke up:

"Mountain-Subduing True Person? Isn't that Wu Lingwei from the Clear Wind Sect? Why would Sect Leader Li ask about this?"

Sikong Ying only realized this belatedly.

"Yes, yes, that's Wu Lingwei's Buddhist name."

In his youth, Wu Lingwei made a name for himself with his Mountain-Subduing Seal.

Now that he's older, his temper has mellowed considerably, which is why few people remember his name.

What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?

Sikong Ying looked at Li Yunjing with a puzzled expression.

Li Yunjing's expression turned serious, and he thought to himself, "It's Clear Wind Sect again."

Although Li Yunjing had suspected Clear Wind Sect.

However, Li Yunjing felt that Clear Wind Sect was not a strong suspect.

After all, although Clear Wind Sect did some despicable things,

But in the end, they are still a righteous sect.

Most of those sordid things were within the bounds of the rules.

At most, it's just a bit unfair to Rogue Cultivator.

Bandit cultivators are considered as vile as Devil Cultivator cultivators.

Li Yunjing ultimately decided to give Clear Wind Sect a second chance.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing's feelings were one-sided.

It really was the Hero Token from the Clear Wind Sect that ordered his elimination.

Let's recall the previous grievances.

Li Yunjing suspected that Wu Lingwei was trying to get rid of him for his son's sake.
