Scheme
The nephrite piece Greater Heaven Caster gave Mu Yu suddenly lit up, enveloping Blood Jade Black Crystal and transferred its spiritual energy to Blood Jade Black Crystal. Complex text drifted across the sky. Blood Jade Black Crystal turned to tiny particles, but a formation within the particles activated. Judging from the clear visual of Ku Mu’s apparition, the formation had to be Soul Fixing Formation.
Once Soul Fixing Formation migrated to the nephrite piece, the white light and formation faded. Upon sending his spiritual energy into the nephrite piece to check, Mu Yu was joyous to verify the migration was a success.
Why…? Does Chen Tiandao already know who I am? Mu Yu silently questioned, gingerly holding the nephrite piece. “Thank you… I swear that, henceforth, I will consider Formation Sect’s woes to also be my woes.”

Mu Yu had a pulse on Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing’s movements as he still had them under his control, albeit them still not being aware. A date finally came for their next meeting to discuss Formation Sect’s takeover.
Under the guise of a business trip with a Greater Heaven Stage caster, the spies left formation sect to convene at a secluded mountain stream under the cover of the night.
Mu Yu planned to control all of Talisman Sect’s Heaven Stage spies using divine soul wood. In regards to the Lesser Heaven Stage spies, he deemed it unnecessary to control them, not that he could’ve.
Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing wore on black robes and hid their faces under their hoods. They had a talisman that, when attached to them, camouflaged them and hid their presence completely. Had Mu Yu not planted divine soul wood on them, he wouldn’t have been able to trace them
“Green lion,” enunciated Duan Yang, in a different voice thanks to the talisman that hid his presence.
“Green lion” was a meeting location code. The spies met at a total of six locations, and “green lion” was one of them.
Duan Yang and Wu Wenxing faded into the darkness and made their way to Desolate Fiend Beast Plains, a place where high-level fiend beasts roamed. The only reason the two were able to venture there at their level was because their presence was concealed perfectly.
The two sneaked into the large cavern of a green lion beast, a level five fiend beast. Staking out outside, Mu Yu saw others sneak into the cavern. He took a blade of grass to infiltrate the cavern after them.
There were only two green lion beasts. They ignored the people around and chased off mosquitoes, instead. Green light illuminated the interior of the cavern.
Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai were already waiting there with their faces revealed. The others stood around in silence. Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai did a head count after waiting for about an hour – all fifty-seven members were present. Luo Feilong then announced, “This will be our last meeting. As long as you fulfil your respective duties, we will conquer Formation Sect in a month from now, and we won’t have to worry for our safety again.”
All of them were glad to hear their lives as spies would be over in just a month. It wasn’t and games when their safety was always in jeopardy, after all. Plus, they would be major contributors in the plan’s success, so they anticipated generous rewards.
“Quiet! We have someone important here tonight to fill us in on the details,” declared Ji Wenkai, stepping aside with Luo Feilong.
Mu Yu didn’t notice the presence of someone waiting behind the two. The individual didn’t even bother to hide his appearance and stepped forward. The spies went down on one knee and greeted, “Greetings, Greater Heaven Caster Zhou!”
Zhou Jinglin ran his gaze over them and said, “You are all big contributors to our sect. It’s been hard on you all these years, but you will soon get to harvest the fruits of your labour.”
“We will give our all for Talisman Sect!” the spies ardently cried in synchrony.
Mu Yu: I didn’t expect Zhou Jinglin to show up. I don’t know how I’m going to control them now.
Zhou Jinglin gestured for them to rise and, in a booming voice, declared, “Being exiled from the sect when we split off is the most disgraceful part of our history. Nonetheless, Formation Sect’s days are numbered, and it’s time for us to take back what’s rightfully ours. All of you will be rewarded once we are successful. Be it Greater Heaven Stage talisman foundations or formation foundations, you can have them all. We will train all of you as Greater Heaven Stage disciples. We need brave disciples like yourselves to rise!”
“Long live Talisman Sect!” Their cries were jubilant, yet their anger toward Formation Sect also seeped in.
Fools, Mu Yu ridiculed in his mind.
Zhou Jinglin’s visage could’ve sent chills down spine as he added, “You must all be worried about how to deal with their nineteen Greater Heaven Stage formation Casters. Worry not, for I shall introduce to you someone who will reassure you. Remember, we don’t go to war unprepared.”
Zhou Jinglin moved his gaze to the cavern entrance and grinned. The individual at the entrance sauntered in, leaving everyone anxious.
“You’re joking me!” Mu Yu almost blurted aloud.
