The Elders all knew that Fang Yun was highly skilled in stealth.
If his stealth skills were poor, he never could have infiltrated the Demon-run Feng Family and Vortex Cave to eliminate the Foundation Establishnt Demons there.
In fact, many of the Sect Elders, including Feng Tianrui himself, had never witnessed Fang Yun’s stealth techniques firsthand.
Today, he had finally seen it for himself. Now he understood even better how Fang Yun could slip into the territory of a Foundation Establishnt Influence without a sound.
"Elder Feng, isn’t speed the most crucial factor for a reinforcent mission?"
"Hahaha, you’re absolutely right."
Ti is of the essence in a reinforcent mission; the faster one reaches the destination, the better.
Feng Tianrui didn’t waste any ti and quickly relayed all the detailed information about the reinforcent mission to Fang Yun.
After getting the details, Fang Yun quickly left the Celestial Cloud Sect.
Once he was so distance away, he exploded forward with even greater speed.
With the detailed information on the target of the reinforcent mission, Fang Yun now knew who he was supposed to kill.
His target wasn’t a Foundation Establishnt Demon from the Celestial Demon Sect or one of its subsidiary influences, but rather one from the Demon Spirit Sect.
The reinforcent mission was located in the direction of the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory, which wasn’t very far from his own sect.
He had killed plenty of Foundation Establishnt Demons from both the Celestial Demon Sect and its subsidiary influences, but this would be his first ti killing a Demon from the Demon Spirit Sect.
The Demon Spirit Sect was now openly supporting the Celestial Demon Sect, putting imnse pressure on the Celestial Cloud Sect.
’This reinforcent mission has to be executed perfectly.’
’The Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demon must be killed. I can’t give him a chance to escape.’
...
The request for reinforcents had been sent.
Ke Huairen hoped the reinforcents from the Celestial Cloud Sect would arrive soon.
He was the Sect Leader of the Celestial Water Sect, a Foundation Establishnt Influence.
Among the Celestial Cloud Sect’s subsidiary Foundation Establishnt Influences, the Celestial Water Sect ranked in the top three for strength, and he, as its Sect Leader, possessed a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivation.
This ti, as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Water Sect, he had been on his way to the Celestial Cloud Sect to attend to so business. But en route, a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demon had ambushed him.
The mont it happened, he had imdiately sent a ssage to the Celestial Cloud Sect, hoping they would dispatch reinforcents quickly.
A month ago, he had received a ssage from the Celestial Cloud Sect warning that the Demon Spirit Sect had changed and that they all needed to pay closer attention to its movents.
He had been very careful on his journey.
Ke Huairen never expected to encounter a Demon here, of all places, so relatively close to the Celestial Cloud Sect’s own grounds.
’Are the Demons from the Demon Spirit Sect insane?’
’How dare they set an ambush here?’
But it was precisely because a Demon from the Demon Spirit Sect had laid an ambush here that he, having let down his guard, had almost fallen into their trap.
Fortunately, his reactions were quick enough. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"With such paltry attack thods, you can’t even hurt ."
A greenish-yellow bronze mirror hovered before him. After using it to block the Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Female Demon’s attacks several tis in a row, Ke Huairen taunted her.
The Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Female Demon had a pair of deep-red wings sprouting from her back, and the claws on her hands were exceptionally sharp.
From the looks of it, she seed to be using her full strength in her attacks against Ke Huairen.
In reality, this was not the case. She was rely creating a false impression for the Sect Leader of the Celestial Water Sect, leading him to believe that this was the extent of her power, even at full strength.
The Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Female Demon was nad Yun Hanshan.
She was a senior Elder of the Demon Spirit Sect and had broken through to the Late-stage of Foundation Establishnt several decades ago.
Ever since the sect’s leadership decided to openly support the Celestial Demon Sect, a plan had been forming in her mind.
A plan to assassinate a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect.
As far as she knew, from the beginning of the war between the Celestial Demon Sect and the Celestial Cloud Sect up until now, the Celestial Demon Sect had yet to kill a single Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Spirit Refiner. Instead, they had lost two of their own Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators.
To Yun Hanshan, this situation was a complete joke.
’The Celestial Demon Sect is utterly useless.’
’Today, I’ll prove it. Compared to us in the Demon Spirit Sect, the Celestial Demon Sect’s thods for dealing with Spirit Refiners are far too crude. They need to learn a thing or two from us.’
Besides that, her own personal motivations also contributed to this plan.
She had little interest in fighting Ghost Cultivators but was very keen on fighting Spirit Refiners. Unfortunately, the sect’s support had previously been covert.
Covert support required avoiding direct conflict with the Celestial Cloud Sect. The sect’s leadership, knowing her personality, had not allowed her to participate in the clandestine missions supporting the Celestial Demon Sect.
"Let’s see how long you can keep up that tough talk," Yun Hanshan snorted, resuming her assault.
She still wasn’t using her full power. She knew her own strength; even if she went all out, it would be difficult to take down the Sect Leader of the Celestial Water Sect quickly.
That was why, naturally, she was not acting alone.
Two other Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demons were lying in ambush nearby.
One of them was an Elder from the Demon Spirit Sect, just like her. The other was not; he ca from one of the Demon Spirit Sect’s subsidiary Foundation Establishnt Influences.
Originally, Yun Hanshan had invited two of her fellow Sect Elders to join the operation. However, the other Elder had declined, feeling her plan was too risky since it had to be carried out so close to the Celestial Cloud Sect’s headquarters.
It was easy for Spirit Refiners from the Celestial Cloud Sect to provide reinforcents in this area. If their luck was bad and a Core Formation expert from the Celestial Cloud Sect showed up, the entire situation would change.
Yun Hanshan knew her plan had its risks. But she thought, ’If you’re not even willing to take a small risk like this, how can you ever hope to kill a Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect?’
The two Late-stage Foundation Establishnt Demons still lying in wait were hidden exceptionally well; the Sect Leader of the Celestial Water Sect remained completely oblivious.
