Chapter 4373: Inserting Personnel (None for Today)

Wang Changsheng looked pensive, shook his head, and said, "No."

Naturally, he couldn't admit it. Now that Murong Bing had cleared up her suspicions, there was even less need.

"Anyway, I'll help you cover it up. Just don't tell anyone you know me. If the Palace of Yama targets your Wang family, I can inform you."

"Thank you then. By the way, what are your plans next, Fairy Murong? Are you leaving the Palace of Yama?" Wang Changsheng asked.

If Murong Bing left the Palace of Yama, it would be difficult for Wang Chuanming to thrive there.

"Not at all. I've always shown my true face. If I wanted to leave the Palace of Yama, I'd have to change my appearance, which would be very inconvenient. Once you join, you can't leave; leaving means death." She couldn't keep using a false identity. More importantly, the Palace of Yama wielded significant power, and staying within it allowed her to leverage its influence to gather cultivation resources and information.

"Oh, by the way, the Palace of Yama is looking for a Taiyi Golden Immortal named Fairy Dujuan. Fellow Daoist Wang, I heard your grandson is a diviner. Can he help deduce her whereabouts?" Murong Bing asked.

"I don't understand this. I'll have Qiulin come over to explain." Wang Changsheng took out his communication disk and contacted Wang Qiulin.

Soon after, Wang Qiulin and Wang Chuanming arrived.

"Qiulin, Fairy Murong wants to ask you some questions," Wang Changsheng said.

"What would Fairy Murong like to ask?" Wang Qiulin asked.

"If you were to deduce the whereabouts of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, what conditions would be required?" Murong Bing asked.

"Their birth date and time, a drop of their vital blood, and their gender," Wang Qiulin answered truthfully.

Murong Bing asked a few more questions, and Wang Qiulin answered them truthfully.

"I see. Thank you for the enlightenment," Murong Bing thanked him, then looked at Wang Changsheng and asked, "I heard Fellow Daoist Wang wanted to talk to me about something? Please, feel free to speak."

"Chuanming, come and meet Fairy Murong. Her status in the Palace of Yama is quite high," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Chuanming walked over and bowed respectfully. "This junior, Wang Chuanming, greets Senior Murong."

"I would like to ask Fairy Murong to help Chuanming join the Palace of Yama. Is there any difficulty?" Wang Changsheng asked sincerely.

Murong Bing smiled faintly and said, "Is that all?"

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Does joining the Palace of Yama require an assessment?"

"Others might need one, but not with me. However, to dispel the suspicions of the Palace of Yama's higher-ups, he'll need to adopt a new identity. It would be best if he lived in a certain sea area for a while and gained some minor renown. Then, I can personally bring him under my wing, and no one will suspect anything. As for how high he can rise, that will depend on him."

"Aren't you going to ask why he wants to join the Palace of Yama? If he's exposed, it could implicate you," Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

Murong Bing smiled faintly and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Wang wants him to join the Palace of Yama, you must have made thorough preparations. 'Implication' is too strong a word; at worst, I'll just leave the Palace of Yama. Without your help, my junior brother Wang and I wouldn't have been able to reunite."

On their way here, they had considered various requests Wang Changsheng might make, but they had never anticipated that he would want to place someone within the Palace of Yama.

"Golden Immortal cultivators are one thing, but Taiyi Golden Immortals are considered high-ranking members of the Palace of Yama and must undergo strict scrutiny. When I just advanced to Taiyi Golden Immortal, other Taiyi Golden Immortals came to investigate me with a 'Spirit-Measuring Mirror,' mainly through questioning, to see if I had betrayed the Palace of Yama or if I was a spy sent by another force," Murong Bing added.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "That's easy. To be frank, Fairy Murong, I intend for Chuanming to use the power of the Palace of Yama to gather intelligence and, incidentally, to search for hidden agents of the Murong family."

"First, let him establish a name for himself. I will then send someone to bring him under my command. You can contact me directly using a 'Spirit-Transmitting Mirror,' and I'll tell you how to cooperate. The Palace of Yama is a relatively loose organization; it accepts members from all races. Some who join perform a few tasks and then disappear, or go into hiding, or might even be killed," Murong Bing said. Then, recalling something, she added, "Oh, right, years ago, I was ordered to eliminate a group of people. According to Han Rong, they had previously sent assassins to attack members of your family. The leader was Qian Dong. Eliminating them was to distance ourselves from them. What's strange is that Qian Dong self-detonated before I even made a move. It was very odd; it seemed as if he foresaw that day."

"Qian Dong! Was there no other information about our Wang family?" Wang Changsheng continued to ask.

"No, others had even less information. They only knew that they had participated in the assassination attempt on Fellow Daoist Wang's son. Also, someone offered a high price for the Palace of Yama to send people to deal with you, but Xu Feng gave an order not to take that job," Murong Bing answered truthfully.

Wang Changsheng frowned and asked, "Do you know who the employer was?"

"Not clear, but most likely the Murong family."

"Thank you very much, Fairy Murong. I'll have to trouble you with Chuanming joining the Palace of Yama," Wang Changsheng expressed his gratitude.

"No trouble at all, it's a small matter. I might need Fellow Daoist Wang's help in deducing Fairy Dujuan's whereabouts."

"If you can find out her birth date and time and obtain a drop of her vital blood, I can deduce her location, provided she isn't protected by a unique treasure," Wang Qiulin said.

"It's unlikely she possesses such a unique treasure. High-grade artifacts that can conceal heavenly secrets are extremely rare."

After chatting for more than half an hour, Demon Lord Xuanfu and the other two took their leave.

Wang Changsheng called Wang Yidao and instructed, "Yidao, escort Chuanming away to the Seven Stars Sea Region. Do not use your true appearance. Chuanming will cultivate there, and you are to protect him, helping him gain renown until he successfully joins the Palace of Yama." The Palace of Yama's influence was vast, spanning dozens of immortal realms, with many operatives even on the Chaotic Continent. If Wang Chuanming could rise to a high position, he could, firstly, monitor the Palace of Yama's every move, and secondly, help the family gather cultivation resources and information.

"Understood," Wang Yidao agreed.

Wang Changsheng gave a few final instructions, then had Wang Chuanming follow Wang Yidao as they left Qinglian Peak.

He then entered a stone chamber to continue refining artifacts.

Myriad Beast City, a secluded manor.

Yang Qing sat in a green stone pavilion, while Chen Sheng reported to her.

"A Wang family disciple killed Blood Witch True Monarch's disciple? Is that true?" Yang Qing asked.

"We were just about to look for the person who provided this information when they disappeared. We are currently investigating the whereabouts of Blood Witch True Monarch's disciple and the two Wang family disciples. It's still in the verification stage," Chen Sheng reported that if the news was true, the three gray-robed elders would certainly be untraceable, and Wang Chuanming, having taken over a new body for cultivation, would also be appearing with a new face. If they had reacted a step quicker and found the informant, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. However, precisely because of this, the information became more credible. If it were a rumor, why wouldn't it be about other Taiyi Golden Immortals? Why specifically Blood Witch True Monarch?

"Notify me immediately if there's any new progress." Yang Qing waved her hand, dismissing Chen Sheng.
