Li Beifei transmitted his voice to the Howling Moon Sky Wolf: "Can you sense his aura?"
"Reporting, Sect Leader, I cannot!" the Howling Moon Sky Wolf replied.
Li Beifei was secretly alarmed. As a wolf, the Howling Moon Sky Wolf's perception was extraordinary. After breaking through to the Saint Realm, it could sense even those in the Carefree Realm. Yet, it couldn't sense this Dark Commander. It seemed this Dark Commander cultivated assassination techniques. Fortunately, the Heavenly Sword Emperor harbored no ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, if this Dark Commander were to attack him, even with Old Liu's reminder, he wouldn't be able to react.
Now, he increasingly felt the difficulty of the ten-year agreement. The Heavenly Sword Dynasty alone was so deeply hidden. The other three major forces were on equal footing with the Heavenly Sword Dynasty.
Such pressure!
Murong Tianjian also introduced the Dark Commander's background to Li Beifei and the others. Just as Li Beifei had guessed, the Dark Commander cultivated assassination techniques. Although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Saint Realm, he had once assassinated an elder in Carefree Realm Third Stage of Middle Origin City and succeeded. Afterwards, he was relentlessly pursued by Middle Origin City. In the end, Murong Tianjian saved him. To repay the life-saving grace, he became Murong Tianjian's shadow and helped Murong Tianjian train an intelligence and assassination squad.
Including the Dark Commander himself, the squad had a total of ten people. Each person's cultivation was between Saint Realm Sixth Stage and Eighth Stage. Moreover, they cultivated a joint attack formation. Even a powerhouse like Murong Tianjian, a peak Carefree Realm expert, wouldn't dare say he could escape unscathed from their assassination.
Murong Tianjian intended to lend this assassination squad to Li Beifei.
When Li Beifei learned how formidable this assassination squad was, and that this squad also controlled an intelligence network spanning the entire Northern Chen Star, it would be of great help in investigating those impersonating Seven Star Sword Sect disciples. At this point, Li Beifei knew the overall situation was set. He was just waiting to lead these people to suppress those who dared to impersonate Seven Star Sword Sect disciples.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Beifei said with a smile.
Murong Tianjian shook his head and said, "You're welcome. I'm actually the one who benefited greatly from this!"
Murong Tianjian smiled happily. In fact, he would have helped with just one Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill. Now, he received three Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pills and one Saint Breakthrough Pill. He had gained a great advantage. However, he also recognized the Seven Star Sword Sect's wealth and was even more grateful that he hadn't been as foolish as the other three major forces and become an enemy of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"Your Majesty, where is Murong Xun?" Li Beifei asked. He had been in the Heavenly Sword Imperial Palace for so long, and logically, Murong Xun would have come to him long ago if he was in the palace.
"The Ancient Starry Sky Road is about to open soon. Xun'er is currently cultivating in the academy," Murong Tianjian said.
Li Beifei nodded. The Human Dao Academy wasn't just established in the Heavenly Barren Star; it was also in other star regions dominated by humans.
After a few more pleasantries, Li Beifei and the others returned to the Seven Star Sword Sect, but with ten more people than when they came.
As the head of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty's intelligence agency, the Seven Star Sword Sect had naturally been thoroughly investigated by the Dark Commander. In his assessment, the Seven Star Sword Sect was a sect established by reclusive experts to train their disciples, with a playful nature. But after today, he changed his internal assessment.
Wealthy and generous!
At this moment, his impression of the Seven Star Sword Sect wasn't just about the pill incident earlier, but because he had arrived at the Seven Star Sword Sect's base.
The degree of extravagance was even more exaggerated than the Heavenly Sword Dynasty's imperial palace. Moreover, after entering the Seven Star Sword Sect, he could clearly feel the difference in the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy inside and outside the sect. The concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy inside the sect was actually ten times that of the outside world.
There was a super-large spirit gathering array!
This was his thought at the moment.
A spirit gathering array sufficient to support a sect was something the Heavenly Sword Dynasty wouldn't dare to do.
Seeing the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples diligently cultivating, he could feel their drive. This was a vibrant and energetic sect.
At this point, he no longer felt that the Seven Star Sword Sect was a sect with a playful nature. Regarding His Majesty's decision, he finally understood that providing help in times of need while the Seven Star Sword Sect was still weak was always better than adding icing on the cake after the Seven Star Sword Sect had developed.
"Eh!"
The Dark Commander softly exclaimed. He saw a young man in his twenties sitting lazily on a rock, holding a pot of wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, with a contented expression. The Dark Commander couldn't help but compare him to the other disciples, then shook his head.
"Dark Commander, what's wrong?" Li Beifei asked, seeing his strange expression.
"It's nothing. I just feel that some people don't appreciate what they have. They have such a good cultivation environment but don't work hard to cultivate. Instead, they're lazy and drinking."
The Dark Commander had a look of disappointment, as if he couldn't live up to expectations. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good life when he was young.
"Uh…"
Li Beifei followed his gaze and then his expression changed. Damn it, wasn't he talking about the old geezer?
Li Beifei looked around and saw that only Gu Changsheng was sitting on a rock drinking wine. That lazy look was just like slacking off.
"Teacher!"
Duan Fei, who had gone ahead, discovered that the two of them were lagging behind and asked curiously. Then he also discovered Gu Changsheng sitting on the rock drinking.
Duan Fei waved to Gu Changsheng in the distance. Gu Changsheng raised his wine pot to signal that he had received it.
The Dark Commander was immediately embarrassed.
"This…" The Dark Commander didn't know what to say. The person Duan Fei called teacher must be Li Beifei's master. Li Beifei's master had waved his hand three years ago to destroy the Blood Cloud Tower, and then destroyed the three Saint Realm experts of the three major forces. He still vividly remembered the bloody rain that fell for three full days back then.
But now, he was actually saying that someone didn't appreciate what they had and was lazy and drinking. Did such a big shot still need to cultivate properly?
The Dark Commander wanted to cry.
"Dark Commander, let's go!" Li Beifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time, he was secretly delighted. Haha, the old geezer didn't appreciate what he had and was lazy, haha.
"Is… is it okay? Should I apologize to Senior?" The Dark Commander said with a mournful face. His subordinates looked at him in astonishment. As their superior and half a teacher, the Dark Commander had always had that cold and ruthless poker face in their impression. When had he ever shown such an expression?
This Seven Star Sword Sect was truly terrifying!
"It's okay, it's okay. Going there would be counterproductive," Li Beifei knew what the other party was thinking, but as far as he knew, Gu Changsheng wouldn't be so petty.
The Dark Commander nodded, but he didn't dare to look around anymore and honestly followed Li Beifei.
Gu Changsheng, who was sitting on the rock, glanced at them and muttered, "Why do the people this kid meets always like to make presumptuous assumptions and fantasies?"
In fact, the Dark Commander guessed one thing correctly. Gu Changsheng was indeed slacking off, but not slacking off from cultivation, but slacking off from dealing with his disciples and grand-disciples.
When the disciples led by Yang Fan learned that their Grand Elder had returned, they quickly put down their tasks or things and ran over to ask for advice on cultivation issues.
Naturally, Gu Changsheng couldn't refuse their enthusiasm, so he slowly explained the problems they encountered in cultivation. But as time passed, the number of people asking for advice not only didn't decrease, but increased. Although the Seven Star Sword Sect recruited disciples strictly, there were still thousands of disciples in the past three years, and there were also more elders and deacons than before.
The story of the Grand Elder lecturing on the Dao and golden lotuses springing from the earth was also promoted by the first batch of disciples and elders. As a result, everyone in the Seven Star Sword Sect was curious and yearned for their Grand Elder.
That's why, except for Li Beifei and a few others who had gone out, everyone else ran over to ask for advice.
When Gu Changsheng saw so many people, he immediately refused and took a leak, then found a quiet place to drink wine.
"These disciples and grand-disciples are too motivated. That's not a good thing either!"
In terms of dealing with disciples and grand-disciples, he wasn't invincible!
