the two late-stage Nascent Soul old fellows of the Azure Wave Sect were nothing more than turtles in a jar.

However, three months passed.

No message.

No report of victory.

Not even a single jade slip to report safety.

Inside the Sect Master Hall, the atmosphere was heavy.

The Great Elder Yu Xiaogang, temporarily handling sect affairs, sat cross-legged on a cushion beneath the sect master’s seat, deep in thought.

He had already crushed three communication jade slips.

Three times, all like stones sinking into the sea.

“Great Elder.” A Demon Blade Sect elder finally could not hold back.

“Could it be that Sect Master… has met with trouble?”

Yu Xiaogang raised his eyes, his gaze as dark as the sea before a storm.

“What about Sect Master Senior Brother’s life tablet?”

Another elder in charge of the ancestral hall said with a pale face:

“Completely intact.”

At these words, the unease in the hall only deepened.

The life tablet being intact meant the person was not dead.

But if he was not dead, why was there no news at all?

Let alone the sect master—even either of the two late-stage Nascent Soul Supreme Elders was not someone the Azure Wave Sect could detain.

Unless…

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the possibility he most did not want to face.

“What about the Azure Wave Sect?” he asked in a low voice.

“This subordinate has sent three batches of spies to investigate.” The elder in charge of intelligence had sweat forming on his forehead.

“The first batch lost contact, the second batch lost contact, the third batch… has yet to return.”

“And within the Azure Wave Sect, all of our hidden agents seem to have been uprooted overnight.”

“What do you mean ‘seem’?”

“It means… no signals were sent, no calls for help, no movement at all. Those people are as if they never existed.”

A pin-drop silence filled the hall.

Yu Xiaogang slowly clenched his fist.

He suddenly realized that what the sect master had taken away was not only the three Nascent Soul combat forces of the Demon Blade Sect—

but also the sect’s inherited treasure passed down through generations.

If those three had truly fallen in Fallen Dragon Abyss…

He did not dare think further.

“Send more people. I want to see them alive… or their corpses.”

At the same time, Azure Wave Sect.

Inside True Person Qingxu’s cave abode, the bitter scent of medicinal pills had yet to dissipate.

The wound on True Person Xuanyun’s back was no longer serious, though his face remained somewhat pale.

He leaned halfway against a cushion, looking at his equally exhausted senior brother, and at Sect Master Yun Yazi, who knelt with his head lowered below.

“Han Li has confessed.” True Person Qingxu placed down the jade slip in his hand.

“Among the sect’s cultivators above the Golden Core Realm, twenty-three in total, seventeen have already been controlled by the Demon Blade Sect. Of those, eight willingly defected, and nine were implanted with demon seeds.”

Yun Yazi did not raise his head.

His Golden Core had nearly self-destructed in Fallen Dragon Abyss. Although forcibly interrupted by Elder Bone Fiend’s strange artifact, the backlash had left his spiritual power in chaos to this day.

More unbearable than his internal injuries was this list.

He had governed the Azure Wave Sect for one hundred and twenty-seven years.

One hundred and twenty-seven years.

Before his master passed away, he had entrusted the sect to him, saying Yun Yazi was steady and could preserve its legacy.

Now, he had preserved it into a sieve.

“Head of the Enforcement Hall, Outer Sect Chief Steward, Deputy Steward of the Pill Chamber…”

True Person Xuanyun read out the positions listed, but halfway through, his voice fell silent.

After a long while, he spoke:

“Sect Master.”

Yun Yazi’s shoulders trembled slightly as he finally raised his head.

“After this matter, step down.”

Yun Yazi slowly bowed down, his forehead touching the ground.

“This disciple has failed the sect.”

He did not argue, nor did he beg.

One hundred and twenty-seven years of effort, hollowed out from within by the very vice sect master he had personally promoted.

He understood better than anyone that this was not something that could be lightly dismissed with a mere phrase of letting wolves into the house.

True Person Qingxu looked at Yun Yazi prostrating on the ground. His throat moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

Though he and Xuanyun were Supreme Elders, ever since Yun Yazi took over, they had never interfered in sect affairs.

It was not that they could not—it was that they could not bear to.

Back then, when the old sect master passed away, Yun Yazi was only at the mid-stage Golden Core Realm.

He had taken up this burden under the doubtful gazes of all.

For one hundred and twenty-seven years, the Azure Wave Sect had not greatly prospered, but neither had it declined.

But now—

“The position of sect master must be decided quickly,” True Person Qingxu said slowly.

“The Demon Blade Sect has lost its sect master and two Supreme Elders—they will not let this matter rest. A sect without a leader is a grave taboo.”

Yun Yazi remained bowed:

“This disciple is willing to follow the sect’s arrangements.”

True Person Xuanyun pondered for a moment and said:

“Among the sect’s cultivators above Golden Core who have not been infiltrated by the Demon Blade Sect, how many remain?”

True Person Qingxu’s expression darkened slightly.

“…On the surface, six.”

“And secretly?”

“There may be even deeper hidden agents.” Qingxu smiled bitterly.

“Han Li only knows his own line.”

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of absurdity in each other’s eyes.

Such a grand Azure Wave Sect had been infiltrated to this extent by the Demon Blade Sect.

Even more absurdly, this made the choice of the next sect master extremely simple.

Only those who had not been targeted by the Demon Blade Sect were qualified to take on this burning burden.

True Person Xuanyun suddenly thought of someone and said, “What about Su Wanyue?”

True Person Qingxu was momentarily stunned, then slowly nodded.

“She can.”

Yun Yazi also raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he did not object.

Su Wanyue.

Late-stage Golden Core, with notable achievements in alchemy within the Eastern Continent.

A reclusive personality, immersed in alchemy and cultivation.

She barely managed even her personal disciples, spending most of her time in seclusion within the pill chamber or her cave abode.

The Demon Blade Sect had woven its net for hundreds of years, nearly sweeping up the entire upper echelon of the Azure Wave Sect.

Only she had been overlooked.

It was not that they had not tried to win her over.

It was that she was simply not someone who could be infiltrated.

She cared not for power, nor wealth, did not form factions, nor win people over.

The only thing she showed interest in was pill formulas. The Demon Blade Sect’s agents had even given her some.

She accepted them, studied them, then tossed them into a pile of jade slips, saying the formulas still had flaws and needed improvement.

Did she send any response back to the Demon Blade Sect?

No.

She did not even remember who had given them to her.

In a secret report, a Demon Blade Sect agent had written: this person has no ambition for the sect, usable but uncontrollable.

Extremely low cost-effectiveness.

Thus, she became the fish that slipped through the net.

“Elder Su’s character…” Yun Yazi hesitated.

“There is indeed no issue. It’s just that she has never handled sect affairs. Suddenly taking over as sect master might…”

“She can learn,” Xuanyun interrupted.

“You also started from scratch back then.”

Yun Yazi fell silent.

True Person Qingxu sighed.

“Let’s ask for her opinion first.”

……

Qingxia Peak.

In front of Su Wanyue’s cave abode, spiritual mist from alchemical furnaces lingered year-round.

From afar, it resembled a clump of purple clouds that never dispersed.

When Yun Yazi came to visit, a muffled sound happened to come from within the mist.

Moments later, the stone door of the cave opened a crack, and a hand extended out.

There were a few small burn marks on the back of the hand, yet it was still as white as jade.

“Sect Master?”

Su Wanyue revealed half her face through the crack, a smear of furnace ash still on her cheek.

For a moment, Yun Yazi did not know how to begin.

In his one hundred and twenty-seven years as sect master, the number of conversations he had with this Elder Su could be counted on two hands.

“Elder Su, there is a matter I wish to discuss with you.”

Su Wanyue blinked.

Half an hour later.

When Yun Yazi left Qingxia Peak, he was not sure whether Su Wanyue had fully understood.

He had explained the current situation of the sect, the threat from the Demon Blade Sect, and the responsibilities and obligations of becoming sect master.

Su Wanyue listened quietly the whole time, occasionally nodding.

Finally, Yun Yazi said that the sect hoped she would take over as the new sect master.

Su Wanyue thought for a long time.

So long that Yun Yazi thought she would refuse.

But instead, she asked, “Can I still refine pills?”

Yun Yazi: “…The sect master may arrange their time freely.”

“Then that’s fine.”

Su Wanyue thought again.

“I don’t have to teach disciples, right?”

Yun Yazi: “…You may teach if you wish. There is no need to instruct them at all times.”

Su Wanyue nodded.

“Then it’s fine.”
