Under Yunlan Mountain.
Situ Xiuneng curled up in the alley finally stood up.
Like a lost wanderer suddenly finding direction, he strode confidently towards Yunlan Mountain, then disappeared into the woods.
The first thing after entering Yunlan Mountain, Situ Xiuneng made his way to the secluded spots, keeping as far away from the Main Hall and places where people might be as possible.
Whenever there was a hint of movement, he chose to take a detour.
From what he understood, Yunlan Mountain wasn't large, it only consisted of a few peaks. To see something that outsiders couldn't, might be dangerous, but going around all the peaks wouldn't take long.
Although the required time was short, he still spent a long time preparing his mind while observing Yunlan Mountain from the alley, mapping out over ten plans in his head.
If he encounters people, what should he do?
If he encounters demons kept by the Immortal Sect, what should he do?
If he gets discovered, what should he do?
Then he chose two plans from them that he deemed absolutely fool-proof.
With sufficient preparation and fool-proof plans, only then did he dare to ascend the mountain.
"That Warm Ping probably wouldn't expect me to come and explore the secrets of the Immortal Sect today." Situ Xiuneng's lips curled into a slight smile, carrying a hint of pride as he traversed the forest.
An ordinary person would choose to slow down after such a big incident last night.
Even if the Hundred Sects Alliance had a task sent, no matter who it was, they wouldn't choose to ascend the mountain today.
This was precisely why, because everyone thought this way, he decided to go against the tide.
Today, he would ascend the mountain to spy on the Immortal Sect!
It wasn't long before Situ Xiuneng abruptly stopped, crouching in the forest, and retrieved a pale yellow fruit from the Storage Ring.
It was about the size of a fist, and when taken out from a box made of White Crystal, a visible yellow mist began to spray out from the top of the fruit. It was visible at first, but after a few breaths, the mist disappeared.
To be precise, it became colorless.
After waiting for it to slowly disperse, Situ Xiuneng then stood up.
"Step one, use the Silent Fruit to seal the demons' sense of smell and hearing. Now, even if the Immortal Sect has demons in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, they won't hear any sounds I make, nor smell any scent from me."
The Silent Fruit was born alongside top-tier Celestial Materials.
The purpose was to protect those rare Celestial Materials from being discovered by demons.
Even for him, until now, he had only obtained this one Silent Fruit.
But to spy on the Immortal Sect, it was used and that's that.
With gain, there must be loss!
...
Having just finished breakfast, Warm Ping planned to angrily binge-watch "Harry Potter" in the Viewing Room when he heard the system say someone had broken into the Maze Array.
It was Situ Xiuneng.
Warm Ping hurriedly had the system pull the image from the edge of his sight to the center. In the image, Situ Xiuneng was just placing the Silent Fruit on the ground, and Warm Ping witnessed the moment the yellow mist scattered.
"What is this guy up to?"
The system replied: "Silent Fruit can seal the hearing and smell of all demons within two to three thousand meters. It belongs to a rather special category of Celestial Materials, and according to my statistics, it is a commodity with price but no market at Heaven and Earth Lake."
"Tsk tsk, people from the Hundred Sects Alliance truly are rich, first it was the expensive Hidden God Grass, and now they're using Silent Fruit. Sealing smell and hearing... is having money on them uncomfortable?"
Warm Ping also couldn't be bothered with him; he was still in the negotiation phase with the Hundred Sects Alliance, and since yesterday's incident hadn't pushed Situ Xiuneng to turn hostile, naturally he wouldn't miss the chance to pocket tens of thousands of White Crystals over a trivial matter now, so killing Situ Xiuneng wasn't an option at the moment.
But since he was uncomfortable with too much money and wanted to stir things up, let him enjoy himself in the Maze Array then.
"Let the Maze Array trap him, trap him for ten days or so first." Saying this, Warm Ping headed towards Churao Mountain.
Embracing two buckets of popcorn, he went straight to the second floor.
Dived headlong into the world of "Harry Potter."
...
In Yunlan Mountain.
After placing down the Silent Fruit, Situ Xiuneng continued forward some distance, estimating that he was close to the summit, and again took out an item from the Storage Ring.
Again, something housed in a box made of White Crystal!
Clearly, it wasn't bound to be inferior to the Silent Fruit.
When the box was opened, a flower with countless petals, about the size of a palm, came into view. The whole flower was black, but the tip of each petal shimmered with a hint of white.
"Among a hundred stocks of Hidden God Grass, only one will bloom."
"As long as it's consumed, even those in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression won't sense my presence. Those who can sense my presence would either have half their foot already in Earth Unrestricted Expert territory or be genuine Earth Unrestricted Experts."
This was originally prepared to ambush formidable Upper Realm Mountain Suppression enemies, to help him climb a few ranks in the Silver Level Chief position within the Hundred Sects Alliance. Eating it today was somewhat heart-wrenching.
But today, to avoid running into that woman of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, he could only choose to consume it.
He wasn't interested in fighting that woman because today's goal wasn't a battle.
Additionally, consuming the Hidden God Flower had another consideration, which was to spy on the stronger individuals behind the Immortal Sect without disturbing anyone.
If such an Upper Realm Mountain Suppression who consumed the Hidden God Flower was in the hinterland of the Sect, and strolling casually, wouldn't those stronger people take action?
If they truly didn't act, then he might quietly kill a few people.
Force them to act!
If no one stops him, then it proves that behind the Immortal Sect, there's only one in the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.
When the Hidden God Flower entered his stomach, Situ Xiuneng's lips held even more confidence.
"Immortal Sect, here I come!"
With a low whisper, Situ Xiuneng accelerated, skimming over the forest like riding the wind.
