I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

“`

…

“Task failed!”

Yin Yi had already returned to his base, his energy flagging, clearly having used a secret technique, paying a not insignificant price.

“Why did it fail?”

The silhouette of the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter appeared.

“Xu Yan’s strength was stronger than estimated, plus a Wan Family expert intervened. I had to use a secret technique just to escape…”

Yin Yi said with a heavy voice.

“You stay here to heal your wounds. Once you have recovered, I’ll assign a new task.”

“Yes, my lord!”

A task failure was not usually something that would bother the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter, as no one could guarantee a one hundred percent success rate for tasks.

But, ever since a traitor had emerged, he had to be more cautious.

Leaving Yin Yi to recuperate at the base, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter and the rest of the people at the base silently left and lurked elsewhere.

If the base’s location had been compromised, an attack would inevitably come.

Yet, after waiting three days with no one attacking, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Yi had no issues, nor had he been followed back.

Just as he let his guard down, a two-inch-long black Spirit Bee suddenly flew over, landing on his shoulder.

Buzz!

The antennae of the Spirit Bee moved, transmitting a faint Divine Soul fluctuation.

The complexion of the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter changed dramatically; one of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow’s secret bases had been destroyed by Xu Yan and the Wan Family!

Only one person had managed to escape with heavy losses.

“Is there a traitor, or did the Wan Family trace our movements?”

The gaze of the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter turned deep and thoughtful.

“Return to the headquarters!”

The Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter could sit still no longer, leading his people back to the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow’s branch in Dahai Mountain.

He had an intuition that the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow might have been found by the Wan Family and they would soon start a pursuit.

Before returning to their branch, another Spirit Bee arrived.

A second base had also been destroyed. The ones who took action were still Xu Yan and the Wan Family working together. This base, with stronger forces, had two survivors escape.

“The same two bases leaked at the same time, and they were connected!”

The Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter pondered.

These messenger Spirit Bees were exclusive to the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, fast and discreet, ensuring that messages weren’t intercepted, and considering the speed of the Spirit Bees, the time between the destruction of the first base and the second wasn’t long.

From this, it could be inferred that Xu Yan and Wan Tianlin had swiftly moved on to destroy the second base right after the first.

This indicated that they had already thoroughly understood the situation of these two bases.

The only thing he couldn’t figure out was why, if Xu Yan’s involvement was expected, would only two of the Wan Family’s elders take action?

Shouldn’t they obliterate the bases in one stroke, not letting anyone escape?

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Could it be that the Wan Family deliberately let some people go, then followed those who escaped in hopes of finding the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow branch in Dahai Mountain?

“Earth Shadow members are skilled in stealth; it’s impossible for True King Heavenly Venerables to track silently. Could it be that some Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Wan Family took personal action?”

The thought alone made the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter’s heart sink.

After all, if an Immortal Heavenly Venerable intervened, their demise was certain.

“Although the Heavenly Grotto in Dahai Mountain is currently stable and without turmoil, it’s unlikely that the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Wan Family would easily leave their post…”

After a moment of contemplation, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter ordered, “Inform the escapees to come here, to converge at this location.”

To be safe, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter ultimately did not instruct the escapees to meet up at the branch, but instead sent them to one of the secret locations.

Here was where a backup branch of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was located.

“Instruct the First-leaf Heavenly Slaughter and Second-leaf Heavenly Slaughter to go there and wait for orders!”

After some thought, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter issued another command.

If they were to create a diversion, shouldn’t this backup branch also have other members of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow?

If necessary, sacrificing some members was needed.

Buzz!

Two Spirit Bees instantaneously departed, tasked with delivering the messages.

Meanwhile, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter continued leading his trusted followers back to the branch in Dahai Mountain.

Just as they reached it, another Spirit Bee flew over.

“`

Another stronghold was eliminated.

The defender of this stronghold was not weak; in his desperate bid to fight back, two individuals managed to escape and even injured a clan elder of the Wan Family.

“Something is amiss!”

Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter began to ponder.

A flash of insight struck his mind, and it seemed he understood something.

“Wan Family, is this using Wan Tianlin as bait, to lure out the powerhouses of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow?”

Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter now suspected that the reason Wan Family hadn’t completely wiped out the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow strongholds, allowing some people to escape each time, was to deliberately send a message to Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

Wan Tianlin’s protection was not strong, presenting the perfect opportunity to assassinate Wan Tianlin and Xu Yan!

“Ha, so that’s their plan, to lure us out!”

After understanding this, Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter couldn’t help but sneer. How could he fall for such a trap?

The real purpose behind killing Wan Tianlin was to provoke conflict, and now that the stirring effort had been revealed, it would be too risky to attempt an assassination on Wan Tianlin.

“Xu Yan!”

Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter muttered to himself.

“Brother Wan, let’s cooperate again when the opportunity arises!”

Xu Yan said with a bow and a smile.

“Of course!”

Wan Tianlin responded with a beaming smile.

This joint effort had eliminated three Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow strongholds, and each of these strongholds had been suggested by Xu Yan, who intentionally let some people escape.

Of course, those who escaped had used a secret technique and their strengths were diminished.

Xu Yan would follow the escapees, returning shortly after, as if he had obtained new stronghold locations from those who fled.

Although it wasn’t clear how Xu Yan managed it, it was obvious that these escapee members of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow would be of great use!

In this joint operation, Wan Tianlin also gained a part of the list of Earth Shadow Members lurking in the Wan Family.

All of these were provided by Xu Yan, obtained from the mouths of those who escaped.

To be able to pry open even the mouths of loyal martyrs—this skill was truly incomprehensible and deepened Wan Tianlin’s admiration for Xu Yan.

“Six down, Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, wait for Xu Yan to wipe you all out in one swoop!”

Xu Yan’s gaze was icy.

He had already taken control of six people, from Shadow One to Shadow Six, waiting for the right moment. Once he had control over the branches of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, he could move to eliminate them.

“I’ll wait for my junior brother to arrive!”

The Wan Family had already disseminated the message to search for Meng Chong.

As long as Meng Chong was in Dahai Mountain, he would undoubtedly receive this information and come looking.

In this extermination of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow strongholds, Xu Yan had acquired more locations, but he did nothing, merely eradicating three strongholds.

Besides the strongholds in Dahai Mountain, there were even stronghold locations in places like Thousand Layered Mountain.

In a certain city in Dahai Mountain, a robust man with thick hair was leaving the city.

“Big senior brother is looking for me.”

This man was none other than Meng Chong.

To avoid pursuers, he had deliberately put on a thick wig and altered his appearance.

However, due to his tall and burly figure, those hunting him would pay extremely close attention to anyone with a similar physique and scrutinize them thoroughly.

Nevertheless, Meng Chong was skilled in concealing his presence and changing his appearance, easily hiding his true form, even shrinking his robust physique when necessary.

“The treasures needed to build my foundation are almost sufficient; it’s a good time to break through.”

Meng Chong left the city, evading potential pursuers.

“As soon as I break through the Great Sun Stellar Indestructible Body, I’ll take them down one by one!”

Meng Chong’s eyes were filled with a cold resolve.

Having encountered assassination attempts immediately upon entering the Nine Mountain Realm, even facing dire situations, he could not let things end there.

Once his realm had broken through and he was unafraid of anyone below the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, and even True King Heavenly Venerable couldn’t threaten him, it would be time to exhibit his might and show these attackers the ferocity of Physical Body Martial Arts.

Xu Yan, who was waiting for Meng Chong to appear, received a message via a Communication Talisman that Meng Chong was now within range.

“Second junior brother!”

Seeing Meng Chong with a wig, Xu Yan’s eyes grew even colder.

The determination of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow to kill Meng Chong had forced him to wear a wig, indicating the dangers Meng Chong must have faced.

“Big senior brother!”

Meng Chong was overjoyed and quickly removed his wig to store away.
