These days.

Due to the exposure of the Undying Blood Clan, things are getting chaotic in the Immortal Realm, making everyone a little paranoid.

Especially in the Immortal Court, when Immortal Officials meet, there’s a hint of suspicion in their greetings, terrified that the familiar face across from them might actually be an imposter from the Undying Blood Clan.

After all, they even replaced the mighty Lord of Dongsheng, so you can imagine how deep the Undying Blood Clan’s infiltration into the Immortal Court goes!

In response to this massive crisis, the higher-ups in the court specially formed an organization called Tianzhugue to scrutinize the Immortal Officials from various departments. If any suspicious personnel are found, it’s instant extermination!

In this tumultuous storm, practically every Immortal Official with a bit of authority in the court has been summoned for questioning and examination.

Inside the interrogation room.

“Dragon General, you command eight hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and are responsible for guarding the South Heavenly Gate. We shouldn’t need to stress your importance anymore, right?”

“Well, that’s all thanks to the Immortal Court valuing me, allowing me to reach this position. But seriously, you guys in Tianzhugue are taking this too far, forcibly bringing me here like this! What do you think my subordinates will think of me?!”

“Heh, isn’t it because you didn’t arrive on time? We notified you well in advance, yet you didn’t take it seriously. Plus, we’re in a special period; you need to understand the court’s difficulties!”

“Alright, alright, I don’t want to hear all this nonsense. Just ask what you want to ask; I’m in the right and sitting straight, why should I be afraid?!”

Bang! The sound of a fist hitting the table echoed as the interrogator scolded, “Dragon General, please correct your attitude!”

The Dragon General couldn’t stand this kind of grievance, glaring angrily, “Damn it, what kind of attitude do you want? Am I not cooperating well?”

“Hmph! Such an agitated mood surely means you have a guilty conscience. Let’s restrain him and directly search his soul!”

“Who dares?! I’ve achieved merits for the Immortal Realm and spilled blood for the Immortal Court; you can’t treat me like this!”

“Aah…”

A scream like that of a slaughtered pig rang out in the interrogation room.

Outside, the Immortal Officials waiting to be questioned were terrified, sweating bullets, seriously regretting their situation.

This is truly nuts!

During this time, a sense of panic and oppression hung over the Immortal Court, like a dark cloud above.

In this high-pressure environment, everyone was on high alert.

Tianzhugue dangled like a sword over the heads of many Immortal Officials, fearing that one day it might descend, risking their lives!

According to whispers, the Lord of Tianzhugue even made a statement in a meeting, declaring that they would rather wrongfully kill a thousand than let one slip through!

Upon hearing that, everyone below trembled in fear.

Some Immortal Officials couldn’t stand such treatment, voicing their discontent and calling for the impeachment of the Lord of Tianzhugue.

In the end, through this strict filtering process, Tianzhugue indeed caught one Undying Blood Clan infiltrator in the Immortal Court.

Unfortunately, when this Undying Blood Clan member was exposed, he ended his own life instantly, using some strange secret technique that caused his flesh to decay into nothingness, leaving the interrogators unable to stop him.

After this incident, Tianzhugue’s position became even more solidified, and some of the discontented murmurs were silenced.

After all, they actually found an Undying Blood Clan member, though their methods were a bit extreme, they were effective!

As night fell.

The noise by the shores was constant, bustling with people.

On the azure waves, a beautifully decorated flower boat glided gracefully through the water.

An old man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat leisurely paddled the boat.

“Hey, young master, want a boat ride? Ten top-grade Immortal Crystals per person, and I’ll take you to the finest lakes in the Middle Earth Immortal Domain,” the old man said with a smile as he passed the shore.

“Here you go.”

A young man in fine clothes quickly paid up and stepped onto the elegant flower boat.

As the boat sailed slowly, it created a unique atmosphere amidst the noisy surroundings.

“Young master, there’s tea and snacks on the table for you to enjoy,” the old man reminded with a grin.

“No need, let’s talk business,” the young man replied coldly.

“Business? I don’t quite understand what you mean,” the old man looked puzzled.

Seeing the other party’s reaction, the young man took a deep breath and said, “The king covers the earth and the tiger.”

The old man fell silent for a moment, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, then he angrily shouted:

“Damn your mother!!!”

The young man’s forehead twitched, and he restrained his fury, looking quite displeased.

“Now that we’re on the same page, are you happy?”

This man was Yuhua Sheng.

He had donned a disguise to come here, intending to meet up with a member of the Undying Blood Clan.

This Undying Blood Clan member, in their ranks, was only second in strength to the Luantian Blood Emperor, now also disguised in a key position within the Immortal Court, wielding significant power and influence!

What annoyed Yuhua Sheng, though, was that the other party insisted on using some ridiculous code to meet up.

Having no choice, Yuhua Sheng complied, and this led to the current situation.

He seriously suspected that the other side was deliberately coming up with ways to insult him!

The old man slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly suppressing it, and with a stern look said, “Right now is a special time; everything needs to be handled cautiously. I’m just doing this out of necessity.”

Yuhua Sheng smirked coldly to himself, thinking, “I trust you like I trust a ghost!”

“Ahem, let’s get down to business.”

The old man shamelessly changed the subject, “During this time, I’ve thoroughly muddied the waters and done my best to shield the identities of other associates. The Immortal Court is currently unlikely to discover the truth.”

Yuhua Sheng’s eyes sparkled, and he nodded, “You’ve done well; I didn’t expect that.”

The old man gritted his teeth, “Damn it, who would’ve thought someone in the Immortal Realm could take down the Luantian Blood Emperor! He’s called the Unmatched Duke in our ranks, a prodigy, and also ranks as the ninth in the Luantian tribe!”

Yuhua Sheng looked bewildered.

What Unmatched Duke? The ninth in the Luantian tribe? As an outsider, he had no idea of their significance.

But one thing he clearly understood was how powerful the Luantian Blood Emperor was!

And now, even a powerhouse like him was taken down!

This was also the reason Yuhua Sheng mastered the Magic Embryo Transformation Technique but dared to remain low-key and develop quietly.

Because the Immortal Realm’s waters are really too deep!

“All of this was caused by Ye Tian Emperor; the last time we attacked the North Cold Immortal Domain, he messed up our plans!” Yuhua Sheng said angrily.

“Ye Tian Emperor… that guy really is something!” the old man gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes showing both fear and fury.

Before arriving, he had thought with the Luantian Blood Emperor leading and the Immortal Realm’s insider cooperation, their infiltration plan would progress smoothly.

Who knew there would be such a severe setback?

This was too unexpected!

Fortunately, in the end, he turned misfortune into blessing, accidentally climbing to a high position, gaining great power in the Immortal Court, calling the shots.

“Once the situation stabilizes here, we can secretly notify the foreign army to launch an attack. With internal and external cooperation, conquering the Immortal Realm will be a piece of cake!” The old man’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, becoming increasingly excited.

“Let’s hope so.”

Yuhua Sheng said in a deep voice.

He didn’t want any more disturbances!

“By the way, let’s not use such cliché codes to meet up anymore,” Yuhua Sheng said coldly as he brushed his sleeves and got up to leave, throwing this remark back as a way to express his dissatisfaction.

The old man ignored him completely, a smirk curling on his lips.

Hmph, with a lowly human like you, who do you think you are to make demands?

Next time, it will continue!

Not for any other reason but to intentionally annoy you!

Months later.

This wave of inspections became increasingly intense.

Strangely, the Immortal Court issued a significant statement to the outside world.

They announced they were going to hold the Immortal Court Summit, requiring all Grade A Immortal Officials to attend and discuss important matters!

In other words, this would be a top-tier conference in the Immortal Realm, attended solely by Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses.

Once this news broke, the Immortal Realm was thrown into an uproar!
