A few days later.

Northern defense line.

Inside the residence of Feichen Sword Monarch.

Ji Haoyuan sits opposite him.

Ji Haoyuan says: "Feichen Dao You, regarding the matter of Feixing Palace and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect, how do you, or your sect, view it now?"

Indeed.

Ji Haoyuan came to see Feichen Sword Monarch this time to inquire about related matters.

At the same time, he wants to confirm the current attitude of Wuji Hall, or rather Feichen Sword Monarch, towards those two sects.

Feichen Sword Monarch is well aware of this.

A trace of helplessness appears on his face as he looks at Ji Haoyuan and says:

"Nanhua Dao You, the current situation of those two sects is indeed quite ambiguous.

They have not fully pledged allegiance to the Demon Race, but they have not sent disciples to participate in the war between the two races either.

The most important thing is that you and I currently have no way to deal with them."

Saying this, Feichen Sword Monarch knows that Ji Haoyuan is not here to hear these things.

Immediately, he assumes a serious demeanor, looks at Ji Haoyuan, and says:

"To be honest, in my Wuji Hall, apart from the lineage I belong to, the others are not much different from the two sects.

The root cause of all this is due to the internal strife within Wuji Hall itself.

I can't say much about the specific reasons now.

But as long as I can obtain the Infinite Seal in the coming time, thereby taking charge of Wuji Hall, then everything will improve.

Then.

The cultivators of Wuji Hall will undoubtedly go all out to confront the Demon Race.

Or perhaps, you and I can join forces to first eliminate the hidden dangers within the human race."

Ji Haoyuan understands the implications behind Feichen Sword Monarch's words.

It seems the internal factional conflict within Wuji Hall, or rather the struggle between various forces, has reached a very serious level.

There's a saying that in a large forest, all kinds of birds are there.

But such a situation where the group of cultivators below are nearly scattered like loose sand is very rare.

Unless a problem has occurred with the current Hall Master of Wuji Hall who is at the Divinity Transformation stage…

Otherwise, Ji Haoyuan really cannot imagine how such a magnificent Divinity Transformation figure could allow the subordinates to be in such chaos.

As if seeing through Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Feichen Sword Monarch reveals a bitter smile.

He says, "Nanhua Dao You, I apologize for letting you see this."

These words essentially corroborate some of Ji Haoyuan's guesswork.

This makes him quite speechless internally.

A grand sect with Divinity Transformation status, yet its internal affairs are such a mess, it's really…

However, as an outsider, he indeed cannot say much about these matters and can only continue to ask:

"So what does Feichen Dao You plan to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Feichen Sword Monarch finally assumes a serious demeanor, then speaks:

"Honestly, Nanhua Dao You, I plan to return to the sect once."

"Hmm? Return to the sect?"

Upon hearing Feichen Sword Monarch's words, Ji Haoyuan is obviously taken aback.

"Yes."

Feichen Sword Monarch nods.

"Actually, I should have returned to the sect earlier.

But at that time, we had just killed the Red Flood Dragon King, and the overall situation was still unclear, so I did not return immediately.

Now, after so much time has passed.

I observe the situation at our Four Symbols Pass, and it seems there won't be any major issues in the short term.

Therefore.

It's time for me to return to the sect.

Incidentally, I should also attempt to reclaim everything that belongs to me.

Only then does Wuji Hall have a chance at revival."

From Feichen Sword Monarch's words, Ji Haoyuan perceives that in his return to Wuji Hall, there may still be considerable disturbances.

Potentially involving danger.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan cannot help but ask:

"What are the odds for Feichen Dao You's success in this return?"

Feichen Sword Monarch's eyes narrow slightly, and he solemnly says:

"There's more than a forty percent chance."

"Forty percent?"

Ji Haoyuan falls into contemplation.

Considering what Feichen Sword Monarch has to do next, a forty percent chance is honestly not low.

For cultivators like them, facing certain situations, even if there's only a twenty percent or even ten percent chance, they still need to strive hard.

However.

At present, Feichen Sword Monarch is one of the few peers he trusts.

If possible, he certainly does not want the other party to encounter mishaps.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he immediately retrieves two items from himself.

One is a half-human-sized tier-four high-grade puppet.

This puppet specializes in stealth, ambushing, and assassination.

It's an excellent tool for monitoring enemies, gathering intelligence, and assassinating opponents.

In the past, Ji Haoyuan has relied heavily on such puppets.

The other item is a palm-sized talisman.

This talisman is called the Heart Demon Talisman, and it seals a divine technique of the Heart Demon Curse Seal within it.

Ji Haoyuan crafted it during his leisure time.

For the tasks Feichen Sword Monarch has to undertake after returning, it might serve a special purpose at the right moment.

Here.

Feichen Sword Monarch obviously did not expect Ji Haoyuan to give him these two items.

The tier-four high-grade puppet speaks for itself.

It would certainly provide substantial assistance to him afterward.

But compared to that, the effect of the Heart Demon Talisman surprises him more.

If before, he had only a forty percent chance of success upon returning,

then now it has reached fifty percent, or even fifty-five percent.

Thinking of this, Feichen Sword Monarch immediately, with utmost seriousness, solemnly cups his fist towards Ji Haoyuan, and says:

"Nanhua Dao You, I will always remember this gift of valuable treasures.

If I succeed, surely, I will repay the favor generously.

Then, I will also cooperate with your sect to eliminate the hidden dangers within the human race in the Southern Wilderness Realm."

"Feichen Dao You, you're too kind."

Ji Haoyuan shakes his head with a smile.

"On this return, everything should be approached with caution.

If things don't go well, Feichen Dao You should prioritize his own safety.

After all, if the green hills remain, there's no worry about lacking firewood."

Upon hearing this, Feichen Sword Monarch smiles and nods to Ji Haoyuan.

Although he doesn't speak, Ji Haoyuan somewhat understands his meaning.

This trip.

Either succeeds or dies.

Clearly, Feichen Sword Monarch is ready to stake everything in a desperate move.

Regarding this.

Ji Haoyuan cannot say much.

He can only wish him success.

After all, he knows that as a cultivator, sometimes one needs the courage for relentless pursuit or to stake everything.

Being overly cautious and seeking alternatives.

Isn't impossible.

But occasionally, such a mindset might make things fail.

Just like with Feichen Sword Monarch now, there's a possibility of breaking the stalemate and achieving his desired goals.
