Chapter 546 A visit from an old friend

"Senior brothers, have you noticed anything amiss?"

Wu Ming turned to look at Pan Ning and Chu Nan beside him, a hint of urgency in his eyes.

He knew that this mission was of great importance and could not tolerate the slightest carelessness.

Pan Ning frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Hmm... In my opinion, if we're not mistaken, those guys just now were very likely the villains from the Blood Fiend Sect!"

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Nan standing next to him, indicating that he wanted to hear Chu Nan's opinion on the matter.

Chu Nan nodded slightly in agreement, and added firmly, "Indeed, judging from the aura emanating from them, they are quite similar to the rumored disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect."

Furthermore, when you mentioned the possibility of Blood Fiend Sect cultivators being present, those two clearly displayed unusual expressions, as if they had something to hide!

Wu Ming nodded upon hearing this, but then immediately followed up with, "Oh? In that case, have you noticed which fellow Daoists were involved?"

After all, it is not easy to find out the Blood Fiend Sect's spies hiding here; we must first find out who the target is.

At this moment, Pan Ning took a deep breath and then gave a detailed account of what he had just observed.

It turned out that among the group of independent cultivators, two middle-aged men who looked to be around forty years old stood out.

Especially when Wu Ming mentioned that there might be Blood Fiend Sect cultivators on the field, the two men's expressions suddenly changed drastically, and they involuntarily took a small step back.

"Did Senior Brother Chu also find those two?"

Wu Ming frowned, a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes, and asked.

He stared intently at Chu Nan, seemingly trying to find some answers in the other's expression.

Chu Nan shook his head, his tone hesitant: "No... that's not the case."

The two people I saw were in the Biluo Sect's camp; one was tall and burly, while the other was thin and short.

They were all elderly men who had exhibited some unusual behavior, but due to the distance and the complexity of the situation, I could not definitively determine whether they were cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect.

After saying this, Chu Nan seemed somewhat insecure.

After all, this is a matter of great importance, and a misjudgment could lead to a series of serious consequences.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming and Pan Ning exclaimed in unison, "They're actually in the Biluo Sect!"

This news was so astonishing that it caught them completely off guard.

The deceased was a cultivator from the Biluo Sect, but unexpectedly, the matter involved internal issues within the Biluo Sect.

A flurry of thoughts rushed through their minds, causing the two to fall into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, Wu Ming suddenly spoke up: "Could it be that there are spies planted by the Blood Fiend Sect within the Azure Sky Sect? If so, it would explain why that Foundation Establishment cultivator died mysteriously and without warning—it turns out he was assassinated by someone from his own sect!"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Hmm... that is indeed a possibility, but words are not enough! If we were to spread this around, people would not only not believe it, but would also think that we were deliberately spreading rumors and trying to stir up trouble."

After pondering for a moment, Pan Ning slowly spoke.

"Sigh, those two guys from the Biluo Sect are really troublesome! The only solution right now is to deal with those two rogue cultivators for the time being."

Wu Ming frowned and sighed.

"Yes, that's the only thing we can do right now. So, in your opinion, when would be the most appropriate time for us to take action?"

Pan Ning turned to Wu Ming and asked.

"Let's set it for tonight. It's not too late to make a move after midnight."

After a moment's thought, Wu Ming gave his answer.

Pan Ning agreed with Wu Ming's suggestion, and Chu Nan, who was standing to the side, naturally had no objection to it either.

After the action plan was finalized, Pan Ning and Chu Nan stood up and bowed to Wu Ming to say goodbye.

Shortly after the two left, a figure appeared in front of Wu Ming's tent.

Fellow Daoist Wu, are you there?

A sound came from outside the tent. It wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Wu Ming's tent.

Upon hearing the call, Wu Ming, who was cultivating inside the tent, opened his eyes and smiled: "So it's Fellow Daoist Shen, please come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the tent entrance.

A moment later, a tall, stern-faced man walked in.

This person was Shen Zhiyuan. When he saw Wu Ming, he also showed a friendly smile: Fellow Daoist Wu, it's been a long time. How have you been? I've come today to have a chat with you!

Wu Ming quickly stepped forward, grasped Shen Zhiyuan's hand, and said with a smile, "Not at all, it's just the same as always. But Fellow Daoist Shen, you seem to be getting more and more energetic lately!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Ming invited Shen Zhiyuan to sit down.

After the two were seated, Wu Ming asked, "I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Shen here today? You are very busy, so it must be more than just a casual chat!"

Shen Zhiyuan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and slowly put the cup down before smiling and replying, "Fellow Daoist Wu is indeed exceptionally wise; you saw through my intentions at a glance. Actually, besides wanting to catch up with you, I also have something I'd like to ask you."

It's about the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators, isn't it?

Wu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he had already seen through everything.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he had already guessed the purpose of Shen Zhiyuan's visit.

Shen Zhiyuan looked at Wu Ming with a solemn expression, a trace of worry and unease in his eyes: Fellow Daoist Wu is absolutely right. This morning, I heard you reveal that there were actually Blood Fiend Sect cultivators mixed in here. This really surprised me!

Wu Ming sighed inwardly, understanding Shen Zhiyuan's feelings all too well.

After all, several years ago they had gone through a thrilling battle together, successfully thwarting the vicious plot of the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators and dealing them a heavy blow, causing them to suffer great losses.

Now that the Blood Fiend Sect has reappeared in this place, it's hard not to wonder if they will take this opportunity to launch a revenge campaign.

Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be overly worried, but you should not be careless either.

Wu Ming comforted him, saying, "Back then, we worked together to defeat those vicious criminals. Now that the Blood Fiend Sect has returned, they certainly won't let this go."

In my opinion, those of us who participated in that battle will likely become their primary targets for revenge.

Then, Wu Ming told Shen Zhiyuan about a past event—not long ago, he was ordered to go out to carry out an important mission, but he was ambushed by the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators.

The situation was extremely critical at the time. If his senior brother hadn't made a breakthrough in time, it would have been uncertain whether he could have returned safely.
