Silver Moon stared blankly at Shen Wang, "Even a Golden Core might find it hard to achieve this."

"You only need to know that if it comes to it, I can handle Yu Qiong Dian."

Shen Wang didn't want to say more. His cultivation was rather mysterious, and it was best not to let others know to avoid unnecessary speculation.

"Even if you can handle him, be cautious. This person is very careful, and since he's made a move, he'll surely be prepared for you to rescue someone."

Silver Moon's words put Shen Wang in a contemplative mood: "If that's the case, is it possible that he won't take them to the State Mansion, but to another location instead..."

Shen Wang's biggest concern now was that although Chen Caiyou wasn't lying, Yu Qiong Dian might change his direction midway. If he went straight to the State Mansion, it could be a wasted trip.

If Yu Qiong Dian realized how important these people were to him, whether he killed them or used them to blackmail him, it would be something Shen Wang didn't want to see.

"It's possible. You're coming late to the game. Before you make a move, make sure your clan members are present, otherwise you'll just be giving your opponent leverage."

Silver Moon nodded.

Looking at Silver Moon, Shen Wang thought for a moment and asked, "What does he look like? Can you draw him?"

"I can."

Silver Moon didn't refuse and was very cooperative.

Shen Wang handed a piece of paper to Silver Moon, then summoned the flying ship, and sat on it as he headed towards the State Mansion.

The distance from the mine to the State Mansion was several hundred miles, but it was still quick for a flying ship, taking less than half an hour to arrive nearby.

Silver Moon handed Shen Wang a portrait and a map: "You should first go and check out the Demon Suppression Department's branch in the State Mansion."

"Thank you."

Shen Wang nodded at Silver Moon and sent her back.

Back in the Spiritual Artifact Space, Silver Moon smiled.

This person is quite polite, not bad to become his woman.

After much consideration, she chose to become Shen Wang's woman, and it was a deliberate decision.

This person was making efforts to rescue his clan members, proving he was someone loyal and righteous. Though she was forced to choose, it was far better than living a life worse than death.

Seeing it now, Shen Wang wasn't bad.

If he could behave like this normally, he wouldn't treat her badly.

Shen Wang was slightly surprised by Silver Moon's proactive cooperation but quickly shifted his focus back to the matter at hand.

He wasn't worried about Silver Moon playing any tricks; for one, she was intelligent enough, and for another, he was confident in his own strength.

Since his encounter with You Huang, he knew roughly what level his strength was at.

He entered the Golden State Mansion discreetly.

This was a major city primarily inhabited by ordinary people.

Generally speaking, cultivators avoid staying in crowded places to avoid the influence of impure qi, and spiritual qi is also scarce in such places.

In this kind of human city, other than the official cultivators of the Sun and Moon Dynasty and places of commerce, there are basically no cultivators in other areas, at most some ordinary martial artists.

Perhaps because most were ordinary people, Shen Wang found that the Demon Suppression Department's branch was only equipped with a simple array, not as advanced as the array for the Profound Iron Ore.

"Quite confident, such arrangements can only be done in their own territory."

Shen Wang speculated on a possibility, proceeding with caution to break through the array.

"Water Spirit Sense!"

Shen Wang formed hand seals, using his most proficient method of exploration.

On land, water is everywhere. Shen Wang's sensing silently spread far and wide.

The various situations within the Demon Suppression Department's branch were quickly grasped by him, leaving Shen Wang surprised as there weren't many people here and not even a single Golden Core.

"They haven't even come back!"

Shen Wang encountered the worst-case scenario and had to continue searching for them.

"I must find them quickly."

Concerned, Shen Wang feared that if the enemy knew he was trying to rescue them, it would become much more difficult.

Glancing at the Demon Suppression Department, he was hesitant to capture someone for questioning, fearing that it might still not reveal Yu Qiong Dian's location.

Unfortunately, he had no other choice and could only use the simplest method: directly look for them.

He floated silently over the rooftops, with no one detecting him, including the few deeply hidden dark sentries.

There was no help for it; the difference in cultivation level was too big. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, infiltrating on purpose, he could skillfully control the surrounding aura, making it very difficult for other cultivators to notice.

After circling around, he found the most cultivated person here and silently entered through the window, appearing directly behind the corresponding cultivator, who hadn't noticed anything.

It was a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Outside her residence, many beautiful flowers and plants were planted, and the fragrance drifted in through the window, refreshing the mind.

Inside the brightly lit room, Shen Wang stood in the shadows, just in time to hear the woman inside speaking.

"Lord Yu, what commands do you have?"

"I'm going to the Hundred Refining Sect temporarily; keep an eye on your end. There might be some troublemakers."

A male and female voice conversed. The woman's voice was rather charming, with a hint of flattery, while the man's voice was deep and resonant.

"If there's trouble, why don't you come back soon, my husband? How can I handle it alone as a little woman?"

The woman's voice turned coquettish, indicating from her change in address that she had an intimate relationship with him.

"If you're afraid, you can leave now and rest elsewhere."

The man said, "Once I've finished here, I'll return immediately."

"Husband, at least tell me what the trouble is so I can mentally prepare."

The woman chuckled softly, "The way you put it, it's kind of scary."

"Just being cautious, I can't be sure either."

The man said, "Alright, I still need to ask them for some elixirs. Didn't you want the Face Stabilizing Pill? Maybe I'll get it this time."

The woman showed surprise, "Husband, you go about your business. I'll be careful here. When you return, I'll serve you well."

"Haha."

The man laughed, and then his voice disappeared.

Clearly, they were communicating through a transmission device.

In the shadows, Shen Wang listened, deep in thought.

A moment later, the shadow flickered, and he was gone.

Shen Wang didn't make another move.

Having overheard useful information by chance, there was no need to stay longer.

Stepping outside, Shen Wang smiled.

"This person went to the Hundred Refining Sect and even went to request some elixirs, mostly likely in the Alchemy Pavilion."

Shen Wang muttered to himself, "They would never expect that I have connections with the Hundred Refining Sect and can enter directly."

Leaving the Demon Suppression Department's territory, he advanced while pondering.

What was Yu Qiong Dian doing in the Hundred Refining Sect temporarily, and did he bring Shen Family members with him?

"Could it be..."

Thinking of a possibility, Shen Wang immediately frowned and snorted, "As expected, a complicated individual."

He roughly understood the other party's actions.

This person must have thought there might be trouble, and taking the Shen Family members around wasn't safe, so he simply went directly to the Hundred Refining Sect.

Yu Qiong Dian indeed had strategy and cunning.

By taking such actions, he could perfectly leverage the power of the Hundred Refining Sect to address potential dangers.

The Hundred Refining Sect, being the number one sect in Jin Province and one of the top ten sects of the entire Sun and Moon Dynasty, possessed immense strength.

Even though he had Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, creating a scene in such a sect was impossible.

Yu Qiong Dian only needed to bring his people into the sect to ensure their safety, and he could also use Shen Family members to threaten him.

The only thing the other party didn't anticipate was that he had an identity in the Hundred Refining Sect and didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.

Shen Wang immediately changed his appearance to that of a Hundred Refining Sect disciple. As he approached the sect's area, he noticed the increased vigilance.

Many patrolling cultivators were present along the way, and Shen Wang's disciple identity token underwent several inspections. Various places bore signs warning against the Demon Race.

Evidently, even though the Hundred Refining Sect was not on the frontline, they were well-prepared to face the Demon Race's army.

Fortunately, Shen Wang's identity was legitimate, allowing him to smoothly enter the inner sect area where he met his cheap mentor, Liu Da Rong, who was cultivating.

Upon seeing Shen Wang, Liu Da Rong's eyes widened: "You brat, you didn't die!"

"Do you think, given whose disciple I am, it would be so easy to die?"

Shen Wang smiled, "Master, quickly help me check. Is Yu Qiong Dian in the sect, and where is he now?"

"You brat, you come and immediately ask me to do something!"

Liu Da Rong grumbled, "What are you checking Yu Qiong Dian for? He's from the Demon Suppression Department. Coming to the Hundred Refining Sect is normal; he comes by to buy things regularly."

"My people are in his hands. I need to rescue them."

Shen Wang didn't hide his intention. Saving one's people required no secrecy, and in Liu Da Rong's eyes, it was an act worthy of merit.
