They said to find a place to have a good talk, but after leaving prison, Young Master Nan knew he had lost his freedom, with guards all along the way.

On the way, Young Master Nan recalled something and couldn't help but ask, "Shi Chun's family, those people from the Mingshan Sect, have they been captured by you?"

He thought since he had been captured, those under Shi Chun might not have escaped.

Who knew Wei Mo shook his head and said, "We haven't touched them yet, acting on them before catching Shi Chun would only alert the snake, but they are being closely watched."

Alright, Young Master Nan understood, that was also why they secretly captured him...

Starlight reflected on the water, Shi Chun suddenly gave Wu Jinliang a gesture of silence in the reeds, Wu Jinliang immediately tense his body, holding breath and focusing, avoiding the movements that cause water ripples.

Within Shi Chun's right eye superpower, the silhouettes at the distant inn starting quietly moving, leaving the inn and the island, their departure was peculiar, upon closer observation, it was clear they were escaping through the water.

Although their route via waterways was winding, they were heading farther away, his right eye superpower soon couldn't see them, he immediately signaled Wu Jinliang to stay put while he quietly went out tracking them.

He too was sneaking through the water, yet neither the earth nor the river could obstruct his right eye superpower, sometimes for convenience, he would crawl ashore and rush ahead.

After following for a while, he realized no matter how the target meandered, the destination inevitably seemed to be towards the Refining Heaven Sect.

To his great surprise, reached the boundary of the Refining Heaven Sect's controlled area, a no-trespassing zone according to the boatman, with Magic Artifact regulating the boundary, yet the group broke in quietly as if completely unimpeded, directly sneaking in via the waterways into the Refining Heaven Sect.

Shi Chun halted, he dared not break in recklessly, fearing trouble would implicate him, fearing being mistaken as part of the group.

But he didn't leave, instead, he hid nearby continuing to observe.

Judging by the number of the people, it didn't seem like a posture to attack the Refining Heaven Sect, if Extreme Fire Sect couldn't extinguish such an attack, it would be wasting their name as the top faction in the Artifact Refining World, since it wasn't a strong assault, possibly it was a stealthy infiltration with a potential withdrawal route.

Moreover, seeing the Demon Path's infiltration style, it's evident they premeditated it, he suspected there was an accomplice within the Refining Heaven Sect, without an insider, how could they infiltrate so smoothly.

In the mountains, the suspected insider, Hall Master Ju Shihong from Mountain Patrol Hall, eventually met with the infiltrating Demon Path personnel.

Inside a room, Ju Shihong spread out a map and expounded on the specific action plan to them.

Once everything was clear, they turned off the lights and departed stealthily.

Ju Shihong, under the guise of his Mountain Patrol identity, drew away the guards along the way, covering the rear for the Demon Path personnel as they slipped in.

Upon reaching Two Hills, outside the mountain top courtyard, Ju Shihong again posed as Mountain Patrol inspector, calling over the guards outside the courtyard, even those guarding inside the array were called out to meet.

His reason was that the Sect's senior members weren't present, said Situ Gu instructed him before leaving, to check more frequently.

Due to Situ Gu's status and personality, Two Hills held some independence within the Sect, the guards inside the array didn't have to heed him, but with Situ Gu not there, and Ju Shihong leveraging Situ Gu's name in his talk, plus Situ Gu barely gave his people career guidance for the future, everyone was merely serving here temporarily, not permanently stationed, needing to maintain their position within the Sect once leaving here.

Therefore, facing Ju Shihong's pressure, they hesitated and obediently complied.

Eventually, they all stood before Ju Shihong, facing him, listening to his speech about Elder Situ's absence, and needing increased vigilance, which was mere rhetoric.

But for Ju Shihong, it wasn't empty talk; the dozen or so attracted individuals were ultimately all knocked down silently on the ground by two masked individuals sneaking up from behind, all lying down twitching without a sound.

Ju Shihong quickly retrieved Magic Artifacts from the disciples' bodies inside the array, directly opened the virtual wave gate at the courtyard entrance, allowing the two masked individuals to dart inside and clear the area, swiftly dealing with the resting and meditating miscellaneous disciples.

Their cultivation was so high, they killed the disciples utterly silently.

Ju Shihong also dragged the bodies outside into the courtyard, casually throwing them into the corner to avoid conspicuousness.

Afterward, he headed straight for the Iron Cell inside the courtyard, familiar with the terrain, given it wasn't his first time there.

Suddenly, the two masked individuals flashed on his left and right, accompanying him to a closed door.

After Ju Shihong indicated the target was inside, one masked individual was about to forcefully break the door, but Ju Shihong stopped him.

Ju Shihong whispered, "There is array protection, brute force won't break it, it won't break it but will activate an even stronger sealing array, we might end up trapped here, this final step can only rely on the people inside, if they don't manage, our plan can only be considered a failure. You two, I too was pressured to the extent of having no other choice but take such a risky move."

As the two masked individuals exchanged glances, Ju Shihong had already knocked on the iron surface, "Zhener, is Zhener here?"

Soon, a woman's voice came from inside, difficult to hear clearly, "You're not Master, who are you?"

Ju Shihong said, "Your master had some affairs to attend to, and will return tomorrow, Shi Chun came to the Refining Heaven Sect, wants to see you, do you want to meet him?"
