Chapter 49: Take Action, The Great Reshuffle Begins!
A moment later.
Lin Xuan left the main peak of the sect. Just now, he had borrowed the two great elders of the Enforcement Hall, Bai Yutang and Ye Nantian, from Gongsun Chi.
These two were the most revered figures within the Enforcement Hall, both at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm.
They were known as the Twin Dragons of the Nine Heavens within the Enforcement Hall!
After leaving the main peak, Lin Xuan summoned the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and stepped onto it. Its flying speed could match his Dragon Wings when fully deployed.
As for Zhao Ling'er, Lin Xuan had her return to Green Bamboo Peak first.
Lin Xuan flew all the way to the Enforcement Peak, located within the inner sect area.
From a distance, Enforcement Peak resembled a coiling flood dragon, with countless magnificent palaces standing tall. Many Enforcement Hall disciples were constantly moving about, appearing quite busy.
Nowadays.
Within the territory governed by the Nine Heavens Sacred Land, demons and monsters ran rampant. The Enforcement Hall had dispatched increasing numbers of personnel, and some had encountered trouble, requiring the Sacred Land to send reinforcements.
This caused a surge in the workload of personnel deployment.
Lin Xuan, standing on the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, was noticed by several Enforcement Hall disciples upon entering the Enforcement Peak area.
"Holy Son!"
They all paid their respects with great reverence.
At the same time, their eyes showed a hint of confusion. Logically, Lin Xuan had just been promoted to Holy Son and been granted a ninth-grade magical artifact. He should be on his Green Bamboo Peak refining this artifact, so why would he come to their Enforcement Hall?
"Do you know the residences of Elders Bai Yutang and Ye Nantian!?"
Lin Xuan asked.
"Holy Son, there are two exquisite two-story wooden buildings by a waterfall in the back mountain of Enforcement Peak. That is where the two elders are in closed-door cultivation."
One of the disciples dressed in a white robe replied hastily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan controlled the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and headed towards the back mountain of Enforcement Peak.
In his view, he saw two exquisite small buildings built by the waterfall.
"Bai Yutang, Ye Nantian, listen to my command!"
Lin Xuan hovered above the cascading Milky Way waterfall, his voice resounding like a great bell.
At the same time.
Lin Xuan took out Gongsun Chi's command feather and infused it with spiritual energy.
Swish! Swish!
As Lin Xuan finished speaking, two afterimages flew out from the two wooden buildings. Upon seeing Gongsun Chi's command feather, they knelt on one knee before Lin Xuan, respectfully lowering their heads.
Seeing the command feather was like seeing the Sacred Lord himself, so naturally they dared not show the slightest disrespect.
"We wonder what command the Holy Son has for us!"
The two said respectfully.
"I'm just here to inform you. Here are two communication jade tokens. Obey my commands when the time comes!"
Lin Xuan explained.
The two took Lin Xuan's communication jade tokens and replied respectfully: "Yes!"
Afterward.
Lin Xuan returned to Green Bamboo Peak.
Half a day later.
Although the Nine Heavens Sacred Land was shrouded in night, each peak was surrounded by countless spiritual lamps, as bright as daylight, making the palaces and forests on each mountain clearly visible.
Inside Green Bamboo Peak, Lin Xuan, who had received Gongsun Chi's message, immediately came out from his residence.
At the same time, he sent a message to the two Enforcement Hall elders, Bai Yutang and Ye Nantian.
Lin Xuan, clad in the Golden Sun Holy Son's ceremonial robe, stood with his clothes fluttering despite the lack of wind. He stepped onto the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and flew to a copper mountain within the inner sect.
He hovered proudly over the copper mountain, his gaze calmly sweeping downward. Within his visible line of sight, he could see many disciples riding the wind, busy with various tasks.
Next.
Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness, enveloping the copper mountain below. In the next moment, he activated the system's detection function.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
The instant Lin Xuan activated the system's detection function.
The information of countless disciples flooded into his view.
Nickname: Wang Wen
Race: Human Race
Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven
...
Nickname: Li Qiang
Race: Human Race
Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Heaven
...
Nickname: Wang Chao
Race: Demon Race
Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Heaven
...
...
The detection function instantly revealed all disciples on the copper mountain.
"As expected, there are fish that have slipped through the net!"
When Lin Xuan locked onto a demon, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Lin Xuan took a single step, and his figure shot downward like a falling meteor. In an instant, he crossed several hundred feet and arrived on the copper mountain.
At this time.
Wang Chao, a demon spy on the copper mountain, had been tasked with hiding within the Nine Heavens Holy Land to gather intelligence on the entire holy land and send it back to the Heavenly Demon Palace.
On the cultivation square outside the copper mountain.
Nearly three hundred inner sect disciples from the copper mountain were seated cross-legged on the square. Each was circulating their respective cultivation techniques, and faint fluctuations of spiritual energy surged from all directions, constantly tempering their bodies.
Breathe in!
Breathe out!
Hundreds of disciples inhaled and exhaled, their abdomens rising and falling.
Boom!
Just then.
A loud muffled sound echoed across the cultivation square, reverberating like a clap of thunder.
Hundreds of inner sect disciples dressed in blue robes all raised their heads in unison. In their line of sight, a falling afterimage suddenly appeared, arriving before their eyes in an instant.
Wang Chao on the square, the moment he looked up, sensed that the falling afterimage was descending directly toward his location.
In Wang Chao's view, Lin Xuan's figure grew larger and larger.
By the time Wang Chao wanted to dodge, a green afterimage tore through the void, slicing his body in half. Blood splattered, staining the surroundings red.
Under the Great Wind Saber Technique, Wang Chao had no time to react at all.
"Holy Son!"
Although not many of the copper mountain's inner sect disciples had attended Lin Xuan's coronation, they all recognized the Golden Sun ceremonial robe he wore.
Only the Holy Son could wear the Golden Sun ceremonial robe, and no one else in the Nine Heavens Holy Land would dare to wear it.
As for why the Holy Son had killed one of their copper mountain disciples, though they were confused, no one dared to speak.
"This person is a demon spy. Immediately send people to thoroughly investigate his residence. If you find anything, you must notify the Enforcement Hall at once!"
Lin Xuan floated half a meter in the air, glanced around, and said in a firm, powerful voice.
"Disciple accepts the order!"
Immediately, the only steward among the several hundred disciples hastily knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
Lin Xuan glanced at the steward and gave a slight nod.
After giving his orders, Lin Xuan stepped onto the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel and streaked across the sky. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dark night.
Below.
After Lin Xuan left, the steward led several inner sect disciples from the copper mountain to Wang Chao's residence.
He dared not delay the task the Holy Son had assigned.
"But I really never expected Wang Chao to be a demon spy. His talent was among the top three on our copper mountain, and he had a great chance of becoming a core disciple!"
A disciple in a gray robe said with astonishment in his eyes.
"This is a good thing. If Wang Chao, this demon spy, had become a core disciple, the threat to our Nine Heavens Holy Land would have increased. Enough discussion for now. Let's focus on finding some useful intelligence in Wang Chao's residence!"
After the steward from the copper mountain finished speaking, the flying speed of the few individuals increased even more.
