I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Liou Yuan heard the disciples of the Wind Chasing Division beside him calling her Miss Yi, her full name is Yi Qingyue.

Yi Qingyue finished speaking, her eyes curved into a crescent shape, looking at Liou Yuan and said: "Mr. Liou may call me Sister Qingyue, or of course, you can skip the title and just call me Qingyue."

Liou Yuan hastily nodded and replied: "Sister Qingyue’s information is really accurate. The news about the Evil Corpse, I also heard from an informant in Jiuli State."

It’s quite a coincidence.

That Daoist Huixie and the Evil Corpse both have connections to Liou Yuan.

The Daoist Huixie has custody of an Alien Star Evil, a target the Fixed Star Compass aims to eliminate.

The Evil Corpse is as well.

Furthermore, the Evil Corpse’s physical body, Han Zhenzi, has a connection with Liou Yuan’s Array inheritance.

"That Evil Corpse chose this time to emerge from the Spirit Erosion and Decay Abyss, likely with the intent of taking advantage of the chaos. He’s quite a cunning character." Liou Yuan recalled Yi Qingyue’s intelligence, a sneer played at his lips.

The Evil Corpse surfaced during the tumultuous time in Jiuli State, evidently wary of the three main sects.

After all, like Five Extremes Mountain, the three sects also have Golden Core masters to maintain order.

"Currently, the clash between Jiuli State and Linlang Domain is still in its early stages, the Golden Core True Masters have yet to intervene."

"Once it reaches the point where the Golden Core acts, this Evil Corpse won’t be able to prance around much longer."

"I guess I’ll wait it out."

The disciples of the Wind Chasing Division were seasoned warriors and quick on their feet.

Seven days later, they crossed Jiuli State and arrived at their destination, Qingbao County.

The sect overseeing Qingbao County is a second-tier sect named Qingxiao Sect.

This sect is situated atop a majestic peak named Qingxiao.

The terrain of Qingxiao Mountain is extraordinary, like a dragon awakened and ready to rise, the mountain is composed of massive green rocks, casting an ancient and mysterious glow under the sunlight.

The sect’s mountain gate is carved from two enormous pieces of mysterious iron stone, with a broad stone staircase winding upwards at the foot of the mountain.

From the sect, one can overlook a prosperous city.

The city is square-shaped, with tall and sturdy city walls built of solid green stone, and watchtowers spaced at intervals along the walls.

A clear Spirit River flows through the city, crossed by several stone bridges, with willows hanging nearby, adding a touch of liveliness and beauty to the city.

This is Qingbao County.

Despite the spring scenery, the city lacks the vitality that should accompany the seasonal revival.

The atmosphere in the city is oppressive, with few citizens walking the streets.

Disciples from the Qingxiao Sect, dressed in green robes, replaced the city patrol teams, roaming through the streets and alleys.

Liou Yuan and the remaining six members of the Wind Chasing Division stood on a mountain peak corresponding to the Qingxiao Mountain, overlooking the city below.

From this vantage point, one could clearly see the bloodstained earth outside Qingbao County, along with numerous cultivator corpses scattered around.

It was evident that Qingbao County had experienced several bloody battles, not only was the outside a mess, but many buildings inside the city were also destroyed.

"What about the Array in Qingbao County!" Witnessing this scene, a disciple of the Wind Chasing Division asked.

Due to the presence of Star Evil, no city in this world is without an Array setup.

However, the current appearance of Qingbao County doesn’t resemble a city protected by an Array at all.

"Qingxiao Sect had disciples deceived by Demon Cultivators, the Array was destroyed when the traitor ruined the Array’s core as Linlang Domain’s Demon Cultivators invaded, now Qingbao County has no Array guarding it."

Tian Qiweng gently spoke.

"Qingxiao Sect has three Foundation Establishment members, two were dispatched to Youhuang State recently and were ambushed by Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators from Linlang Domain, resulting in one death and one severely injured, leaving only the Sect Leader stationed in the sect."

"However, this Sect Leader has been in seclusion for five years, so it’s essentially like having no Foundation Establishment members."

"With the Array broken, Qingbao County is the weakest among the nearby cities, otherwise, we wouldn’t have been sent here."

"Fortunately, there’s no news of Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators nearby, otherwise, even the few of us might struggle to hold this place." Liou Yuan looked at the desolate scene of Qingbao County, with difficulty expressed on his face.

The conversation revealed how Qingxiao Sect has declined to a critical point, even the Array is ruined.

If it weren’t for the Wind Chasing Division having experts from Yan Yingsi and Tian Qiweng present, Liou Yuan feared the mission from above would be hard to fulfill.

"Even if Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators appear, it doesn’t matter, we have a few Foundation Establishment elders from Five Extremes Mountain stationed in Youhuang State, ready to support if they cross the border."

Tian Qiweng replied with a laugh, "Our Five Extremes Mountain is a major sect."

After he finished, he waved his hand and said to Liou Yuan and the others: "Let’s go, meet up with Mr. Yan and the others."

Liou Yuan and his group of seven boldly walked towards Qingbao County without disguising their presence.

During this sensitive period, they immediately attracted the attention of Qingxiao Sect’s disciples guarding Qingbao County.

Initially, Qingbao County was in a state of readiness, until they noticed the Five Extremes Mountain disciple badges adorning Liou Yuan’s group, only then did their expressions relax.

The city gates of Qingbao County opened, and a team of Qingxiao Sect disciples headed by a man in green attire stepped forward to welcome them.

This man had an outstanding temperament, his long green robe was simple yet dignified.

A wide black belt was tied at his waist, with a polished black jade pendant hanging on one side, swaying slightly with his steps, exuding threads of spiritual charm.

His black hair was neatly tied atop his head, fixed with a vintage wooden hairpin, with a few loose strands gently lifted by the wind, adding a bit of wildness to his cold face.

His posture was upright, always standing tall, like a sturdy pine tree, making him stand out in the crowd.
