My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 449 The Demon Cries to Catch the Demon, Turning the Tables

The two hurriedly followed the lady in the purple dress to the front of the red building.

The security guard, who had been trying to stop them just moments before, now stared straight ahead, unmoved, and did not try to stop them again.

Led by a lady in a purple dress, Gao Rui and Yu Yi finally stepped into the vermilion building.

The building is spacious, seemingly capable of containing all things in heaven and earth, and is filled with spiritual energy, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland.

The two stood there, stunned and amazed, for they had never seen anything like it before.

After a moment, Gao Rui came to his senses. Unable to suppress his curiosity and doubt, he asked the lady in the purple dress in a very ingratiating manner, "Sister maid, why do you listen to her? What is so extraordinary about her?"

Upon hearing this, the lady in the purple dress revealed a gentle smile and said softly, "Miss Chu not only achieved a ten-game winning streak on the arena, but also defeated the true disciples of the Thousand Mist Sect one after another. Her strength is truly astonishing."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi and Gao Rui were overwhelmed with emotion.

Although they had guessed that Chu Lengyu would perform well on the stage, they never expected that her results would be so amazing that she could defeat the true disciples of the Qianlan Sect and achieve ten consecutive victories!

This is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!

Yu Yi felt secretly ashamed. He recalled his previous contempt for Chu Lengyu, and now he realized how ignorant and ridiculous he had been.

Gao Rui felt annoyed. If this was true, he was so blind to have missed such a great opportunity to get to know the other person.

After acquiring the Five Elements Pill they had been longing for, they hurriedly left the Zhu Lou and inquired about Chu Lengyu's deeds everywhere.

When they learned that Chu Lengyu's ten-game winning streak was true, and that among the opponents she defeated were indeed true disciples of the Qianlan Sect, the two couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, their hearts filled with admiration.

Gao Rui immediately suppressed his disdain for the Hundred Swords Pavilion, and even his attitude towards Yu Yi suddenly improved, as if he wanted to make up for the previous unpleasantness.

……

After leaving the red building, Chu Lengyu, now in her guise, took out an exquisitely packaged gift box.

The gift box was entirely purple-gold in color, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved on its surface, making its extraordinary beauty immediately apparent.

This gift box was a carefully selected reward after her ten-game winning streak; it was a gambling box full of unknowns.

It's called the Gambling Box, and what it contains is truly unknown to an outsider like her.

However, Chu Lengyu understood that Master Tang must know everything about the gambling box, and that lady in the purple dress might also know some of its secrets.

That's why, from any perspective, she would choose to get a gambling box as a reward for her winning streak.

In a quiet, secluded corner, Chu Lengyu opened the magnificent gift box.

Inside the gift box was a layer of soft red velvet, and on this velvet lay a golden invitation.

This is the legendary invitation to the Myriad Star Alliance auction.

This precious item, of which only one hundred exist in the world, lies quietly in the gift box.

I've heard that having this invitation grants access to the VIP room at the auction and allows one to enjoy numerous privileges.

Not only can you get a close look at rare and precious auction items, but you can also gain an advantage and convenience when bidding.

A sense of surprise welled up in Chu Lengyu's heart.

She hadn't expected that Master Tang would be so generous, choosing to use the gambling box to give away such a precious item as a way of showing goodwill to "Senior Xia".

Even as the head of a branch, the number of invitation functions he can freely allocate is certainly extremely limited.

Looking back at the grand "Heroes' Gathering" held by the Qianlan Sect, wasn't its purpose to determine who would receive an invitation?

For this reason, countless people have already fought or are about to fight tooth and nail over it.

But now, an invitation has already fallen into her hands.

Therefore, it seems that Chu Lengyu definitely needs to go and see this auction.

After carefully putting away the gift box, Chu Lengyu, disguised as nothing had happened, returned to the side of the Hundred Swords Pavilion members.

Meanwhile, the true self was preparing for another crucial task—to find out the demon that might be lurking on the island.

In fact, she already had someone she suspected in this matter, but she had not yet obtained conclusive evidence.

But when she met Master Tang in person at the Zhu Lou, she understood everything.

……

the other side.

After leaving the red building, Wei Wuxin's face was gloomy.

Her trip to Jingu Island seemed to be the beginning of her bad luck, with everything going wrong and leaving her feeling uneasy.

The uncle's instructions were not fulfilled, the lurking demons were nowhere to be found, and the unworthy members of the family made a fool of themselves on the arena...

Now, even a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator can force her to retreat by virtue of the power behind her.

Just as she was feeling depressed and had nowhere to vent her frustration, Master Qingsong rushed over, looking nervous and with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Upon seeing Wei Wuxin, he immediately took a few steps closer, cupped his hands in greeting, and said urgently, "Young Master Wei, I have important matters to discuss with you. Please come and talk with me."

Wei Wuxin was already in a bad mood, and seeing Qingsong Shangren like this made him even more displeased.

She remembered that Master Qingsong was just a casual retainer attached to a second-rate sect, insignificant. She almost vented her anger on him, but she managed to suppress her temper and not lash out on the spot.

She simply turned away coldly, not even sparing a glance, as if Master Qingsong did not exist at all.

Her attendant said with great displeasure, "Fellow Daoist Qingsong, if there is nothing urgent, please make yourself at home. My young master does not have time to chat with you."

Master Qingsong looked anxious, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He looked around to make sure no one was watching before lowering his voice and saying, "Young Master Wei, there is a high possibility that the Hundred Swords Pavilion is problematic!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxin was startled.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze sharp as she stared intently at Master Qingsong, pressing him for an answer: "Master Qingsong, what exactly do you mean by that? Have you perhaps heard some nonsense and are making wild guesses?"

Master Qingsong quickly waved his hand and said solemnly, "No, no, Young Master Wei, please don't misunderstand. The immortal boat I was on and the Hundred Swords Pavilion's immortal boat arrived at this Golden Island at the same time, so we traveled together and that's when I gradually noticed something was wrong."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his robes and made it float in front of Wei Wuxin. He said solemnly, "Young Master Wei, please take a look at the contents of this jade slip before making a decision. Everything I have said is true and not just empty talk."

Although Wei Wuxin still had doubts, seeing how seriously Qingsong Shangren took it, he accepted the jade slip with some skepticism.

She probed the jade slip with her divine sense and saw a blurry image recorded inside. The content of the image startled her, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Seeing her reaction, Master Qingsong slowly said, "The images in this jade slip are conclusive evidence. Chu Lengyu was secretly using demonic magic to try to destroy the formation of Jingu Island. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, thus preventing a major disaster. Young Master Wei, you must trust me."

Upon hearing this, the attendant's face was instantly filled with astonishment.

He exclaimed incredulously, "What?! Chu Lengyu actually used demonic methods to destroy the formation?!"

Master Qingsong nodded solemnly, and said with a bitter and resentful expression, "Yes, I have heard the elders of the Hundred Swords Pavilion mention the dock, as if they were secretly plotting something. I never expected that something would actually happen at the dock. After this series of events, I am more and more frightened, which is why I had no choice but to come to the Wei family for help!"
