201: Chapter 199: Myriad Paths 201: Chapter 199: Myriad Paths “I’ve met the Third Miss,” Chai Ye said with respectful greetings, yet neither Li Beifeng nor An Siqi could be seen by his side. As he bowed, the cuff of his sleeve turned red. That was a fresh bloodstain. Fang Geyu, without a change in expression, slightly furrowed her brows. She had originally planned on beating around the bush and sparring with him to tease out some information. But now, she couldn’t help but recall what Baili An had said last night, and she decided to cut directly to the chase. “It was Si Chen who asked me to find you,” she said. “He said that you… are a trustworthy person.” Chai Ye came from Tiangge City, which was under Fang Geyu’s command. No matter how one looked at it, the assertion that he was a trustworthy person was entirely normal. Yet, surprise and touched emotions flickered in the depths of Chai Ye’s eyes as he bowed even lower and warmly said, “Thank you for your high regards, Miss.” Fang Geyu sat leisurely beside the window lattice, her hands crossed in front of her. The early morning sunlight was dazzling, and she squinted slightly before speaking, “Then I need to know the truth of the matter.” Chai Ye’s eyes revealed pain, which was quickly replaced with a more resolute expression; he lowered his voice, “Disciple Ming Yuanji’s actions last night seemed to be troubling Si Chen on the surface, but in reality, his intention was to harm the Miss.” Fang Geyu tapped her hand lightly, her tone nonchalant, “There’s no need for elaboration on this matter. I had guessed his intent the moment he took action.” Chai Ye nodded and continued, “However, what Miss may not know is that if someone harbors ill intentions towards the Miss, how could there be only one move made? Ming Yuanji’s intentions were too obvious and easy to guess, nearly seeming like bait that was deliberately set out.” “Then…” Fang Geyu looked at the bloodstain on his sleeve. Chai Ye gave a slight smile, “Then naturally, the real blade is hidden in a deeper darkness, closer at hand.” His smiling expression suddenly turned solemn, “It was Junior Brother Li.” Fang Geyu didn’t show any surprise but nodded lightly, “No wonder last night Si Chen said to me that even if we lose a few Guest Elder Cultivators, it’s not necessarily a bad thing… a few…” She chuckled softly, “His insights are indeed sharp.” Chai Ye looked helpless yet cold, “Under Si Chen’s hint, I’ve captured him. After a night of torture, he finally confessed that he was from the Wandao Immortal Alliance.” “The Wandao Immortal Alliance?” Fang Geyu sat up straight but quickly relaxed again, her cold laugh returning, “It makes sense, and it’s no wonder.” Although now the whole Mortal World’s Immortal Path is divided into three parts, controlled by Tianxi, Taixuan, and Cangwu. Yet, there are so many Cultivators in the world, the power of the Three Sects is certainly strong and deeply rooted, but they can’t accommodate all the cultivators from various nations. And those who enter the Three Sects are subject to extremely stringent requirements. Whether it’s Spirit Root, character, morality, state of mind, or knowledge, all aspects must be up to standard, in addition to having a clean background and upright behavior. Those who are chosen for these Three Sects, among millions of Cultivators, are few and far between. And those who are not lucky enough to be affiliated with the Three Sects’ power have no choice but to seek other allegiances. Everyone knows that the Hundred Immortal Sects each have their strengths and many magical and sacred places, yet where do they compare to the three thousand-year-old Immortals that control the holy lands of the Three Sects? Outside of the Three Sects, there is no shortage of accomplished individuals. But they are far from matching the geniuses cultivated by sacred places like Tianxi, Taixuan, and Cangwu. Those who join an Immortal Sect and succeed have to serve their Sect day and night, with limited freedom. Over time, the Mortal World saw the rise of Loose Cultivators. Loose Cultivators are not affiliated with any Immortal Sect; they come and go as they please, enduring hardship to cultivate themselves. Until five hundred years ago, during the golden age when the Three Sects were at their peak, among Loose Cultivators emerged a remarkable figure who founded the Wandao Immortal Alliance. Wandao, like Senluo’s myriad phenomena, thrived in prosperity, gathering the forces of Loose Cultivators from all regions. Joining the Immortal Alliance, they were not restrained in their freedom and were not required to make annual contributions. Fortunes and treasures obtained by disciples themselves all belonged to them. The Immortal Alliance had a vast collection of Immortal teachings and scripts and taught them to the disciples without reservation, and they were also generous in handing out spirit pills and treasures. Loose Cultivators banded together into a new force, not bound by Sects, and were able to receive significant nurturing from the Immortal Alliance. The number of people willing to join was countless, coming endlessly. Although the Wandao Immortal Alliance, in terms of true strength, is not equal to any one of the Three Sects. But their number of disciples is more than ten times the combined total of the Three Sects. Not to mention, its Alliance Hierarch is a greatly benevolent character known for building good connections; he does not confine his disciples’ contributions to freedom, all relying on voluntary devotion. Therefore, many Loose Cultivators willingly offered their services and sincerely pledged allegiance to the Immortal Alliance. Over time, the Wandao Immortal Alliance grew stronger day by day, yet it had not been officially recognized. Although its Alliance Hierarch was a Daoist Immortal of the Tribulation Realm, he was not granted the title of Golden Immortal by the Emperor on the day of his ascension as the three-thousand-year-old Immortals were, nor was he favored by the Immortal Path. But regardless, their status in the Mortal World was certainly not low. Even predictions were made that the Wandao Immortal Alliance would become the fourth major Sect that would awe the ages and be renowned for all time. And Shifang City also had intricate business dealings with the Wandao Immortal Alliance. Fang Geyu looked out at the cold night, where moonlight illuminated the snow. The chill seemed to gradually erase the last trace of a smile in her eyes. Instead, there appeared a bone-chilling, eerie ferocity. She spoke indifferently, yet her words carried a chilling solemnity, “Then let him live a good life.” Chai Ye was taken aback, not understanding why she would not exterminate the threat at its root. Fang Geyu turned her head towards him and smiled lightly, a departure from her usual wild and proud demeanor. Her smile was like thin snow on the branches, with an ethereal grace. The more she smiled in such a way, the more Chai Ye felt a chill run down his spine. Beside Fang Geyu’s fingertips, unbeknownst to him, a Jade Bottle had appeared, its green color transparent and pure, holding within it a large red Zhu Pill. Seeing the object in the Jade Bottle, Chai Ye felt an inexplicable tingling in his scalp, “Miss, is this…” Fang Geyu said, “Sometimes, ruthless torture is a common practice, but the object of inquiry is nothing more than the truth. Today, I have been victim to schemes, treated as if my Tiangge City is not worth considering. Killing one or two people…” Her laugh was sharp and enchanting, “It’s not enough.” Chai Ye instantly understood and complicatedly took the Jade Bottle resting quietly on the railing. “I never knew that the Miss possessed such a soul-dividing Evil Pill. According to the city records, the creator of this pill is Gu Qi, the Master of the Tenth Hall from Cangwu Palace a hundred years ago. This pill can forcibly separate half of a Cultivator’s soul from their body without injuring their life. Through that extracted half of the soul, one can control all the actions and consciousness of the individual’s main body.”
