C69 Immortal Sect Head Disciple Became a Spy.

Rong Yu felt as though his deepest secret had been exposed, and under the crushing pressure, he began to tremble ever so slightly. He felt an urge to cough up blood, but nothing came out.

In that moment, Jiang Su stepped back and scribbled something on the back of Rong Yu's hand. His gaze was icy as he uttered, "Obey, or this will torment you for life."

Su Wuyou, witnessing Jiang Su's actions, released her oppressive aura. She approached them and glanced at the inscription on Rong Yu's hand, though the script was foreign to her.

Yet, from Jiang Su's warning, it was clear that this was a potent, binding rune.

His Heaven Grade spiritual root was incredibly powerful! She couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

The characters lingered only briefly before they were absorbed into Rong Yu's body, carried by Jiang Su's spiritual force.

Rong Yu's eyes reddened, on the verge of tears. The cruelty of the Devil Domain knew no bounds. They had resorted to such ruthless measures just to exploit him!

He resolved to scour every rune tome upon his return; he was determined to find a way to break free.

Revenge was a must!

Jiang Su, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He casually draped an arm over Rong Yu's shoulder, saying, "No tears now. I've got questions for you. Let's head back to Sword Wing Peak for some tea."

As they made their way back, Jiang Su nonchalantly brushed off Su Wuyou's flirtations while observing Rong Yu's sullen demeanor.

Rong Yu had shed all pretense, revealing his most authentic self to Jiang Su.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yue, residing within the Life Sword, was intrigued by the characters Jiang Su had penned. They belonged to no known script. Where had Jiang Su learned such writing?

"Disciple, what purpose does this rune serve?" Shangguan Yue inquired, his voice conveying genuine curiosity.

Suppressing a chuckle, Jiang Su replied, "It's nothing. Those words simply mean 'Idiot.'"

Shangguan Yue was at a loss for words, realizing that Jiang Su had been toying with Rong Yu all along.

Su Wuyou looked on, her face alight with admiration for Jiang Su's antics.

Shangguan Yue steadied his emotions and inquired, "Why not employ some trick to keep Rong Yu obedient? If he uncovers this secret, he'll slip from your grasp."

Jiang Su confidently replied, "He's unable to decipher the script, and ever since his initiation into the Devil Sect, he's grossly overestimated my power. He'll trust in this, nothing else."

A breeze stirred, lifting the hair from Jiang Su's forehead and momentarily veiling the starry gleam in his eyes.

Just then, Wang Tian sensed Jiang's spiritual presence and dashed out from the left-side room. He had already scaled Dangerless Peak and shared tea with Elder Lin Tian.

"Jiang, you've returned? Greetings, Elder Wuyou."

Wang Tian hastened to Jiang Su's side, halting to offer Su Wuyou a respectful bow. His mind buzzed with questions about why all three had come back together, and he noticed Rong Yu's crestfallen expression. What on earth had transpired?

Jiang Su greeted him with a smile and a nod, suggesting, "Let's all meet up in the left room later."

"I'll go brew some tea then!"

Hearing this, Su Wuyou giggled behind her hand, teasing, "So you're inviting me to your room? I find it quite hard to turn down such a kind offer."

With Master Chiu Yue absent, there was no one at Sword Wing Peak to curb her playful banter with Jiang Su.

Jiang Su wouldn't dare challenge Su Wuyou; her cultivation surpassed his, and her skills outmatched his own. He feared that if she were to sing, it might be the end of him.

Noticing Jiang Su's lack of response, Su Wuyou sighed. Why was he ignoring her?

She led the way to the left room, her years with Chiu Yue having made her intimately acquainted with Sword Wing Peak's layout. Plus, Wang Tian had already tended to the lighting.

As midnight approached, moonlight spilled through the window, casting the candle's shadow.

The trio settled in the left room, and Wang Tian, bearing tea, served each person a cup.

While pouring for Su Wuyou, Wang Tian nearly spilled the tea, his hand trembling as he came close to dousing her.

While Su Wuyou was criticizing the modest accommodations of Sword Wing Peak, she inadvertently flipped up her skirt, revealing her slender, pale legs just inches from Wang Tian.

He recited the Heart-clearing Spell to steady his thoughts.

Su Wuyou offered a captivating smile. To all male cultivators in the Cultivation World, except Jiang Su, she was irresistibly charming.

Shangguan Yue, hidden within the Life Sword, couldn't help but steal glances at Su Wuyou. She was undeniably stunning, with delicate features and a striking figure.

He pondered Su Wuyou's playful demeanor and shook his head in secret. Her biting remarks were her only flaw.

Jiang Su, however, was resigned to her antics, having grown accustomed to them.

The night had deepened when he cut off Su Wuyou's complaints about Sword Wing Peak, suggesting, "It's time to discuss serious matters."

Su Wuyou instantly became solemn, startling Wang Tian with her intensity. He had never seen Elder Wuyou this grave.

"Rong Yu, I have three questions for you. Answer them truthfully," she demanded.

Rong Yu nodded in agreement.

Wang Tian sensed the gravity of the situation and watched Rong Yu intently.

"Firstly, you claimed the First Immortal Sect sent you to gauge the Devil Domain's strength and intentions for war. Is that the truth?"

Rong Yu nodded, affirming, "Indeed, the First Immortal Sect and the Devil Domain have their private conflicts, but peace is the ultimate goal for the Cultivation World. The First Immortal Sect and the Seven Continents' Royalty are inherently distrustful, so they dispatched me to ascertain the situation. Their aim is to ensure a balance and peace between the First Immortal Sect and the Devil Domain, not warfare."

Impressed with Rong Yu's compliance, Su Wuyou felt a renewed appreciation for the rune Jiang Su had inscribed on his hand. She pressed on, "Secondly, can you guarantee that once we release you, you'll act as our Devil Domain's informant within the First Immortal Sect?"

Rong Yu glanced at his hand, where the peculiar runes had vanished. In a grave tone, he responded, "Jiang has bound me with a restriction. What choice do I have but to obey?"

Shangguan Yue couldn't help but laugh from within the Life Sword. If Rong Yu ever finds out what that thing really is, he's bound to come to blows with Jiang Su.

His disciple has quite the talent for deception.

"Third question: You are the Head Disciple of the First Immortal Sect, and Deputy Sect Master Ye Qing showers you with favor. So why did you so readily acquiesce after Jiang Su placed restrictions on you, without even a hint of resistance? Your excessive calmness is, frankly, quite puzzling to me."
