"I know." Sun Shaoheng looked at Lu Jin'an: "That's why I'm willing to solidify this suspicion about Wu Biqiong."

"Oh?" Lu Jin'an looked at Sun Shaoheng, smiling: "If Wu Biqiong is truly a possessor from the Upper Realm, do you think using Sun Shaoyang's matter can deceive her?"

"I can't guarantee it, but she definitely wouldn't dare to easily make a move against me." Sun Shaoheng bowed to Lu Jin'an: "If I die, it must be her doing."

"A few days?" Lu Jin'an asked blandly.

"I'll strive to do it before you return to the Wandao Sect."

"Hmm..." Lu Jin'an nodded and suddenly took out something resembling a dough: "Drop your Essence Blood on this."

Sun Shaoheng wasn't surprised by Lu Jin'an's methods and directly took out a drop of his Heart Blood and dripped it onto the 'dough' in Lu Jin'an's hand.

Lu Jin'an directly threw the 'dough' into a separate Storage Ring.

The thing he took out was naturally a small trick Qiu Qingtang came up with regarding the path of colors back then. Although he thought he wouldn't have any use for it, it still served well as a form of punishment.

Seeing he had gained Lu Jin'an's trust, Sun Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated for a moment before saying: "The Sun family..."

"What?" Lu Jin'an asked blandly: "You need me to take the initiative to talk to your father after your brother tried to assassinate me?

Moreover, since you dared to do so, are you still afraid your father will kill you?"

Lu Jin'an laughed indifferently: "In the current generation of the Sun family, you're the only one worth hoping for. Who else in your family dares to bring this matter to light?"

"The Saint Heir has sharp eyes," Sun Shaoheng complimented.

Lu Jin'an just smiled noncommittally, then casually asked: "Knowing that the time of great competition is near, you're still dwelling on such matters? With Late-stage Harmonization Realm cultivation, and you being the Great Burning Ancient Body, yet you've slackened quite a bit."

Sun Shaoheng chuckled: "I want to obtain all the resources of the Sun family."

"If that's the case, when the Two Realms Pass opens again for war, will you dare to risk your life?"

"I will do my best," Sun Shaoheng looked at Lu Jin'an: "And I think if I can cling to your support, my chances of survival might be higher in the future."

Lu Jin'an laughed, then said: "If she is, you can use 'Hidden Life Mountain' to probe."

Sun Shaoheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded his agreement.

Lu Jin'an waved his hand, signaling that Sun Shaoheng could leave.

Sun Shaoheng bowed and left. Lu Jin'an wasn't bothered to return to the Wu family at this time, as Wu Yanhai and his people hadn't finished their conversation with the ancestor yet.

He boarded the Fire Phoenix Boat again, and upon seeing Pei Wanyu, immediately said: "Master, the intelligence in your hands is quite detailed. Mo Yun Pavilion is much stronger than I imagined. When did you contact Mo Yun Pavilion?"

Lu Jin'an knew what the Mo Yun Pavilion, one of the Five Pavilions, did, but he never had direct contact with them before. Even after becoming a Saint Heir, he could only get intelligence, not information on their personnel deployment.

This was because it was an intelligence agency directly led by Sect Master Zheng Dongliu.

Pei Wanyu, who was tailoring fabric, lightly smiled: "To be honest, Mo Yun Pavilion is usually managed by Master?"

Lu Jin'an was taken aback: "That powerful?"

"Mmm-hmm~" Pei Wanyu softly said: "Master is from the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan."

Listening to his Master's words, Lu Jin'an wasn't too surprised since he had been in the Wandao Sect for so many years, and knew his Master's identity as the Black Phoenix, so he had some guesses.

Because his Master unexpectedly became the Deputy Sect Master of the Wandao Sect.

"Your cooperation with the Sect Master."

"Yes." Pei Wanyu nodded: "Although much of my forces were cleared by the Upper Realm, it also filled in the Wandao Sect's understanding of the Upper Realm."

"Have you never heard of a possessor before?"

Pei Wanyu pursed her red lips and sighed softly: "Master used to be quite playful too..."

A trace of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, but she quickly collected herself, looked at Lu Jin'an, and asked: "Do you think Sun Shaoheng is a possessor?"

"It can't be ruled out yet." Lu Jin'an picked up the topic: "Currently, the possibility of him being a possessor is low, but we can't exclude the possibility that this is a collaboration with Wu Biqiong or an internal conflict in the Upper Realm.

Of course, I also hope that there is a good outcome where neither of them is involved."

Pei Wanyu nodded gently: "Although there are informants in both the Sun and Wu families, it's hard to collect more detailed information."

She looked at Lu Jin'an: "The cultivators of the Upper Realm are highly self-regarded, but those who dare to infiltrate the Chang'an Domain cannot be compared to the likes of Yang Guan."

"I understand, Master."

"Alright." Pei Wanyu sat back in her chair: "If there's nothing else, go cultivate. Master has some work to do."

······

The Wu family.

Sitting in her room, Wu Biqiong bit her thumb, her brow shadowed with gloom.

She never expected that she would be played by Sun Shaoheng.

That Dragon Roar Bow is Sun Shaoheng's life-bound Holy Artifact, it's impossible for Sun Shaoyang to have stolen it. So, when she instigated Sun Shaoheng, he actually knew all along?

This is not good...

She looked up at Kong Chan floating in the air meditating and thought for a moment before asking: "Sister Kong Chan, could you help with killing Sun Shaoheng?

After all, the head of the Sun family lost two sons already, no way will he be on the same side as the Wandao Sect."

Kong Chan opened her eyes and looked at Wu Biqiong with an expressionless face: "Is this all you're capable of?"

"I..." Wu Biqiong's eyes flickered: "I urged Sun Shaoheng to act, and I have no grudges against Lu Jin'an. Now he's with Lu Jin'an, and if he reveals this to make Lu Jin'an suspicious of me, what about the plans in the Chang'an Domain?"

She paused, then suddenly asked: "Is Sun Shaoheng from our Hidden Life Mountain?"

"You'd have to ask His Majesty, the Holy Emperor." Kong Chan said faintly: "But he certainly isn't from the Bai family."

Wu Biqiong nodded, indicating she understood, because the Bai family's plans always focused on secretly supporting and strengthening demonic forces in the Lower Realm via the Wuji Demon Sect.

Meanwhile, the Kong family's strategy was to control the upper echelon of the Lower Realm Human Clan.

Unfortunately, both originated from Hidden Life Mountain and were under the Holy Emperor's rule, so to some extent, there was intelligence exchange. That's how the death of Zhou Yuanfu also exposed several key figures the Kong family had planted in the Lower Realm.

"So there's a possibility, right?"

"The possibility is low." Kong Chan said bluntly: "The way he chases you is too pathetic, it would be disgraceful if he's from the Upper Realm!"

She continued: "If he had told Lu Jin'an about the suspicion against you, killing him would only confirm it."

Wu Biqiong frowned slightly, then heard Kong Chan continue: "He doesn't have evidence, and the Wandao Sect has someone with the surname Ji, so he couldn't act against you just based on suspicion.

The Wandao Sect is a sect of noble repute, and Lu Jin'an is a Saint Heir, they wouldn't commit demonic acts."

Kong Chan descended to the ground and slowly said: "In that regard, the Wandao Sect has quite a few constraints, which are indeed a weakness."

"Lu Jin'an doesn't seem like a good person." Wu Biqiong shook her head: "He directly killed Sun Shaoyang without even asking. I think he's more sinister in action than that one."

"That one is still the sect master of Wandao Sect." Kong Chan gently stroked her sword hilt: "With him around, Lu Jin'an can't act directly.

He considers things more than Lu Jin'an, at least for now, he wouldn't allow Lu Jin'an to cause too much offense to many forces, leaving no one to lead the Wandao Sect after his passing."

"Why?"

"Because he doesn't have much lifespan left," Kong Chan looked at Wu Biqiong meaningfully: "He's worried that if he leaves too early and Lu Jin'an hasn't yet become immortal, the Wandao Sect will have no one to take the helm."

Upon hearing this, Wu Biqiong's eyes lit up: "How much longer does he have to live?"

"Heaven's time, earth's advantage, people's harmony, one cannot lack any,"

Kong Chan walked to the door: "Watch out for Sun Shaoheng, don't let him outsmart you, I'll finish things up for you before I return."

Wu Biqiong relaxed a bit inside, watching Kong Chan disappear from the courtyard, a trace of doubt crossed her mind.

Up till now, Kong Chan hadn't yet told her the purpose of coming to the Lower Realm...

While pondering, the maid knocked on the door: "Ninth Miss, Mr. Sun is here."

"Him?" Wu Biqiong slightly frowned, considering for a moment, then said: "Invite him in."

After a short while, Sun Shaoheng entered the room, led by the servant, and directly looked at Wu Biqiong who sat beside the table.

Wu Biqiong looked sternly at Sun Shaoheng: "You lied to me; you're not even familiar with Saint Lu."

Sun Shaoheng stepped to Wu Biqiong, sat across from her: "Aren't you also the same?"

His eyes were deep as he looked at Wu Biqiong: "The one who urged me to try assassinating Saint Lu... the possessor from Hidden Life Mountain."

Wu Biqiong's expression froze.

That direct?
