Li Changqing didn’t expect that at the critical moment, it was Yue Qingwu who came out to save them.

At this time, Mu Qingge had finally completed the ritual; Zhen Wanshou and Xie Yunsun’s souls had already swapped. Zhen Wanshou looked at his own body, incredulous.

It really succeeded!

His cultivation was already at the Innate Realm!

And he was on the verge of stepping into Innate Perfection.

Looking over at Xie Yunsun, he had already been drugged unconscious by Mu Qingge and had not yet awakened.

At that moment, Zhen Wanshou finally understood why Mu Qingge had drugged him earlier. Because after the body swap, the one who was unconscious would be Xie Yunsun, not himself.

He sighed in relief, otherwise, he would have been worried about whether Immortal Qingge intended to do something inappropriate to him before he passed out. It seemed he had overthought it a bit.

There was also a bit of regret.

With the matter settled, Li Changqing placed Xie Yunsun in the large box behind him and then, with Mu Qingge, found a place to wait for morning.

As for Zhen Wanshou, now as Xie Yunsun, naturally he needn’t worry too much about anything and could go home to rest and return to work at Cangyuan Pavilion tomorrow.

Morning.

Bai Map, as usual, arrived at the office to clock in.

At night, Cangyuan Pavilion doesn’t gather intelligence, but they do take orders. Bai Map looked at the orders for intelligence and routinely set out to gather it.

After finding the intelligence, he would have someone outside copy it down.

"Director, sir." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Seeing Xie Yunsun, Bai Map greeted him as usual.

"Hmm." Zhen Wanshou looked at Zhao Heizi before him, knowing this person was an informant like himself.

Then he whispered quietly into Bai Map’s ear, "When will the moon be clear and bright?"

This was a secret code set by Li Changqing to ensure that allies could identify each other while outside. The code was from Earth’s poetry, and Li Changqing wasn’t worried that others would recognize it; anyone who could respond with the correct continuation was an ally.

Upon hearing this phrase, Bai Map’s eyes lit up.

He promptly replied, "Look up and see!"

Zhen Wanshou nodded with satisfaction.

Since even the director was an ally, things would be much simpler.

Before noon, Li Changqing had obtained the intelligence he wanted—information about Monarch Yuehan, Yue Qingwu, and the Jinglong Sinew that Yin Fengqi desired, all now in Li Changqing’s possession.

Thus, Li Changqing did not linger in Celestial Sea City and left with Mu Qingge.

Two days later, they returned to Beihan Country.

Upon arriving at Changqing Mansion, Li Changqing saw that Zhang Fuguang had already returned.

"Fuguang, how are things?" Li Changqing quickly inquired.

Recently, he hadn’t heard any information about Medical King Valley, as if the annihilation of the valley had gone unnoticed by anyone.

It was truly strange.

Zhang Fuguang’s expression was also somewhat peculiar, and he clasped his fists toward Li Changqing, saying, "Mr. Changqing, is there some misunderstanding? After arriving at Medical King Valley, I found everything as it was; there was no trace of the annihilation you mentioned. All the disciples are alive and well, and the elders in the sect are thriving, everything as usual."

Upon hearing this, Li Changqing was stunned.

Not annihilated?

No one dead?

How could that be!

On that day, both he and Yin Changli had seen the Medical King Valley littered with corpses, piled high, nearly all perished in the Medicineless Ancient Cave.

He had even brought back a painting of the Three Lives Flower.

The entire sect, aside from Yin Changli, was seemingly devoid of any survivors.

The only unknown was Mu Hensheng, still missing.

Yet now, after Zhang Fuguang’s visit, the entire sect seemed perfectly alive?

How could this be...
