Immediately after.
The vortex of the mystic mask reappeared and after devouring Madam Luooâs head, the mask trembled slightly, and a line of text appeared:
"Assassination mission successful, earned five points, total points fifty-five"
Clearly, the Thousand Kui Jade exchange was one step closer with a thousand points.
As the spirit light dissipated.
The mask fell off.
Fu Changsheng waved his sleeve, tossed Madam Luooâs corpse into the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower to feed the Spirit-devouring Insects, pocketed the storage bag on the ground, and at the door, the Cyan Python had already used brute force to raise that exotic stone door.
The exotic stone door turned into a dawn light and merged into the storage bag at his waist:
"Xiaoqing, letâs go!"
Fu Changsheng landed on the Cyan Pythonâs back and soared into the sky.
Swiftly heading towards Wangu Mountain.
In flight.
With a thought:
"Exchange for intelligence"
Buzz!
The panel vibrated.
A surge of yellow light flowed.
Line after line of text appeared:
[1: Xu Changqing, according to the agreement with Fu Molan, has been waiting at the shore of Thousand Mirror Lake for months, and has even fallen ill with longing]
[2: Yun Taiying of the Joy Sect is on a mission in search of a female cultivatorâs cauldron with a special physique, alongside Yongwei, the quota already fills two; with one more spot, they plan to return to the Sect. Yun Taiyingâs underground cave mansion at Wangu Mountain is safeguarded by a Tier Three Thousand Illusion Pearl, making it difficult even for a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion to detect the location.]
[3: Thereâs a girl in Dalang Village who possesses a Half-Demon Body]
[4: Fu Yongwei, the daughter of your eldest brother, has a Hidden Herb Body, though it has yet to awaken]
[5: .....]
.....
"Stop the exchange!"
Fu Changshengâs gaze fell on the second piece of intelligence, and his eyes lit up with joy.
According to the intelligence.
Yun Taiying should still be in Wangu Mountain:
"Fortunately, thereâs still time."
Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing the fourth piece of intelligence, he paused blankly:
"Hidden Herb Body?"
A spirit body has both hidden and apparent types.
Fu Changsheng was greatly astonished.
This was the first time intelligence provided information on spirit bodies, clearly an upgrade in the systemâs intelligence function after unlocking the fourth feature.
As for spirit bodies.
He knew very little:
"Looks like I need to ask Uncle Yu when I return."
Grandmaster Yu is knowledgeable and likely knows about it.
His elder brother showed the talent of a Spirit Plant Cultivator from a young age, and the daughter he bore evidently surpasses him. Given sheâs a Plant Body, she should naturally have a talent for cultivation.
Fu Changsheng couldnât care to inspect Madam Luooâs storage bag; his sole focus was on rescuing Yongwei from Wangu Mountain.
Ten miles from Wangu Mountain.
Fu Changsheng immediately commanded the Cyan Python to enter the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.
He employed the Invisibility Technique.
Carefully approaching.
The Cyan-faced White Fox sniffed Yongweiâs scent left on clothes in the cave mansion, leading the way.
But after circling Wangu Mountain several times.
The Cyan-faced White Fox still couldnât pinpoint Yongweiâs exact location:
"Chirp"
The Cyan-faced White Fox, frustrated, squeaked a few times at Fu Changsheng.
Seeing this, Fu Changsheng decided to handle it personally. Joining his index and middle fingers, he recited a spell, and his sword point quickly swept across his eyes, casting a hazy white light over the Wangu Mountain before him.
From top to bottom.
However.
The entire mountain showed no sign of any anomaly:
"This Thousand Illusion Pearl is really formidable."
Even after activating Divine Clarity and Bright Eyes, he still couldnât detect Yun Taiyingâs hideout.
Likewise unsuccessful, Fu Molan and Fu Changli converged from the other two sides. On Fu Changliâs shoulder, the Double-Pupil Rat chittered:
"Patriarch, could it be that the people from the Joy Sect have already left?"
After all, Yongwei was taken yesterday.
Fu Molan pondered for a moment, shaking her head:
"Based on Madam Luooâs memories, she sent Yongwei to Wangu Mountain for a mission yesterday, and also collected the last Three-Element Pill on the same day. If the Joy Sect had left that day, they wouldnât have only erased Madam Luooâs memory of entering the cave and would have killed her instead, leaving her alive as a message to others that he keeps his promises on rewards for selling him female cultivators."
Fu Changsheng appreciatively glanced at Molan.
Her analysis was detailed and matched the intelligence precisely.
Fu Changli, hearing this, gritted his teeth:
"Patriarch, since we are certain Yun Taiying is inside, why not go for broke, and you and Sister Molan use an Anomalous Fire to burn the mountain, forcing him out."
This was a last resort.
If they resorted to using Anomalous Fire, the commotion would quickly attract other Noble Family members over.
Fu Molan was not in favor:
"This is Situ Familyâs domain. The Situ Family ascended to Eighth-Grade twenty years ago, and itâs said Situ Feng recently broke through to Purple Mansion. If we alarm the Situ Family, they might not spare us."
Fu Changli was anxious to save people.
Upon hearing this, he grew more irritable:
"This wonât work, that wonât work, we canât just wait here. If Yongwei has an accident midway, how will we explain to our elder brother?"
Having said that.
He looked expectantly at Fu Changsheng.
It was obvious he wanted Fu Changsheng to decide.
Fu Changsheng furrowed his brows and pondered for a while.
According to the intelligence.
Yun Taiying needed a total of four spots, and since he hasnât left, he must be waiting for the last female cultivatorâs cauldron.
Waiting for a rabbit might be a foolish tactic, but it is effective.
Alternatively.
They could report the Joy Sectâs presence in Taishan County to the World Suppression Bureau for them to handle.
But heâs never dealt with the World Suppression Bureau of North Huai Prefecture before.
Moreover.
The World Suppression Bureaus in different areas would often favor the Noble Families within their jurisdiction, and the bureaus of North Huai and South Huai subtly compete with each other.
