Chapter 325: Chapter 175: The Fox Spirit’s 2 Major Magic Treasures: Empathy Puppetry Technique and Cow Farm
Luori City, Flying Boat Square.
"Lu, we indeed managed to trace a group of cultivators who have already pledged allegiance to the Upper Realm."
Li Wuyi, speaking while walking, took a deep breath: "More than half of them volunteered, having helped during Yang Guan’s growth process...
Upon investigation, it was found that after Yang Guan achieved the Sitting and Illuminating Realm, both his opportunities and breakthrough speed were faster than usual."
Lu Jin’an nodded, understanding that the opportunities for the Qi Fortune Teller were divinely ordained in the shadows, yet obtaining them was entirely dependent on one’s own efforts.
However, when effort encounters an absolutely correct path, progress will be even quicker.
Tianyan Pavilion serves as the ’brain’ for the Lower Realm Human Clan, and naturally, the Upper Realm Human Clan has its ’brain’. Perhaps no one surpasses Shangguan Qizheng’s understanding, but it’s normal for others to know what Shangguan Qizheng doesn’t.
After all, Shangguan Qizheng was completely unaware of the Upper Realm’s possession plan.
In Lu Jin’an’s view, the power wielded by the Upper Realm paved a grand road for those who successfully achieved the Sitting and Illuminating Realm through possession, enabling them to quickly find opportunities and become powerful figures.
Such methods akin to forcefully nurturing talent would inevitably have some aftereffects, but... would the Upper Realm care about the lives of geniuses in the Lower Realm?
Clearly, they wouldn’t.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t let their trash perform possession on the Lower Realm’s geniuses.
Lu Jin’an said calmly, "Kill them all."
"Hmm, there’s also..." Li Wuyi hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Another part was coerced into becoming the Upper Realm’s lackeys..."
Lu Jin’an stopped, turning his head to look at Li Wuyi: "So what?"
Li Wuyi held his breath, lowered his head, and said, "I understand."
Lu Jin’an resumed walking: "Are any of your sect’s people among them?"
"No." Li Wuyi shook his head: "It’s just..."
"Just what?" Lu Jin’an chuckled slightly: "Feel sorry for them serving as accomplices to the wicked, do you?"
Before Li Wuyi could speak, he continued: "Li, if you’re feeling relaxed, why not visit the Two Realms Pass once more."
Lu Jin’an tapped his folded fan on his palm: "Compile a list of these people for me, your Yulin Domain cannot handle this matter; I’ll take care of it."
Li Wuyi quickly replied: "I can handle it, it can be done now!"
"That’s good." Lu Jin’an stopped by the chains next to the flying boat, saying calmly: "A word of advice, if you don’t want to die in the future, don’t let any Upper Realm lackey go now."
Li Wuyi took a deep breath and bowed to Lu Jin’an: "I understand."
"Mm." Lu Jin’an nodded, with a slight smile: "We’ve finished watching the sunset, it really is beautiful... we shall take our leave now."
Li Wuyi smiled faintly: "Safe travels, Lu."
Watching the Wave Breaking Boat take flight, Li Wuyi exhaled a long breath.
"Young Master." A middle-aged man approached swiftly: "Those accomplices..."
"Kill them all." Li Wuyi said softly: "Leave none behind... if anyone knows of their crimes and still pleads for them, execute them too."
"This..."
"Is there a problem?"
"Understood."
"Act immediately." Li Wuyi said, then boarded the Tongqi Hehuan Sect’s flying boat, heading towards the Northern Sect.

Xuanzhong Canyon.
A young man dressed in black and red stepped into the cave mansion, and upon seeing a phantom seated in a chair, quickly removed his mask, bowed, and said: "Greetings, my lord."
"How did it go?"
"Yang Guan was exposed, and most of the people related to this line were found and executed." The young man straightened, a helpless look flashing in his eyes: "Yang Guan’s mother... that crazy woman ruined things."
The phantom frowned slightly: "Have you figured out why the Qin Clan people appeared in Sunset Canyon?"
"Are you suspecting that the Changqing Immortal Clan discovered Yang Guan’s identity?"
"Yes." The phantom tapped the table: "Too coincidental."
"They’re just turtles hiding in their blessed lands, what ability do they have to see through the plans of the Upper Realm ones?"
"Cannot underestimate them." The phantom glanced at the young man: "Also, Lu Jin’an..."
"Are you suspecting that Lu Jin’an went there intentionally as well?" The young man hesitated to say: "Probably not."
"Share your thoughts."
"If Lu Jin’an really knew about some information on the possessors from Lan Cangjun, with his methods of knowing such information, he would definitely conduct a soul search directly, rather than going through such a complicated setup."
The young man carefully weighed his words: "With the power of the Five Sects and Seven Schools, it’s sufficient to immediately contain these people for soul searching to obtain more intelligence, while the Upper Realm couldn’t react in time to hide all the possessors. So, he probably doesn’t know Yang Guan’s identity."
"And most importantly..." The young man continued to add: "Lu Jin’an could not possibly break the prohibitions of the Upper Realm ones."
The phantom nodded: "That’s true, even Shangguan Qizheng couldn’t see through it. No matter how talented Lu Jin’an is, he’s just at the Unity Realm Stage now.
But the Qin Clan... needs to be watched."
"Leave this to me." The young man said respectfully: "With the Upper Envoy’s help, my Wuji Demon Sect was not wiped out completely, and now is the time for us to serve."
The phantom chuckled softly: "For such a major matter, we can’t rely on you; your only target now is Lu Jin’an."
The phantom stood up and thought for a moment before adding: "Investigate whether the Wandao Sect and the Qin Clan have reached any agreement."
The young man nodded: "The style of the young lady from the Qin family is indeed unusual...
My lord, could Lu Jin’an be from the ancient Lu clan of Zhaozhaogu?"
"Would you choose a foreign Crown Prince to succeed the throne? Besides, the reputation of the Lu family... hehe."
The phantom left these words, then disappeared from the young man’s sight.
"True." The young man chuckled, rubbing his chin as he contemplated how to kill the exalted Saint Lu up there.
