Even in this dimly lit basement, she seemed to radiate a holy light that drew people’s gaze to her involuntarily.

“Aunt Yulian.”

Upon seeing her, both Green Ji and Zhiji were startled and quickly bowed their heads to greet her.

It turned out that this woman was Demonic Envoy Yulian, the second disciple sent out by the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess following Chi Mei Demon Master.

As Green Ji lifted her head, she caught a glimpse of the clothing on Demonic Envoy Yulian and was momentarily taken aback: “Aunt Yulian, so it’s you who is going to be the new head manager?”

Indeed, Demonic Envoy Yulian was wearing the uniform of the hotel’s head manager.

“Correct,” Demonic Envoy Yulian said with a proud curl of her lips, “I had some luck. After competing with a few Cultivators from the Spiritual Platform Realm, I was chosen.”

“Aunt Yulian is truly remarkable,” praised Green Ji.

Zhiji also displayed an envious expression.

As it turned out, Demonic Envoy Yulian had found Green Ji and the others not long ago and, with Green Ji’s introduction as a distant relative, had joined Wang’s Chain Hotel and even fabricated a tragic backstory for herself, quickly winning the sympathy of the other staff and blending in smoothly.

However, as a “Spirit Platform Realm” Cultivator, Demonic Envoy Yulian attended a different night school than them and consequently had few opportunities to meet openly, which is why they chose this deserted and hidden basement as their “rendezvous” location to facilitate the exchange of information.

When opportunity allowed, Jade Ji might also leave information here for them.

“I’ve been busy with training for my new role in recent days and haven’t had the time to gather intelligence. How about you two, have you learned any important information?” Without beating around the bush, Demonic Envoy Yulian went straight to the point after some idle chatter.

“Yes, I do have an important piece of information at hand,” Zhiji immediately said, “A few days ago, Emperor Longchang and Master Jiang from Lingyun Holy Ground were seen at Xinshun Building on Xitang Street. There were many witnesses, so the news should be reliable.”

“These past two days, the news has already spread throughout Xinping Town, and many people are aware of it,” Green Ji opened her mouth a step too slow and was preempted by Zhiji, glaring at her in annoyance and adding, “The two were disguised and visiting in secret, but they caused a scene in the restaurant and their identities were exposed by the Wang family’s Family Head, Wang Shouzhe.”

Demonic Envoy Yulian frowned slightly upon hearing this: “This is important information, I will notify Master immediately. Anything else?”

Actually, there was no other significant intelligence.

But how could Green Ji admit it outright?

She then shared several bits of trivial intelligence she had gathered, such as “Young Clan Leader Zong’an of the Wang family has been out of favor since childhood, and everyone secretly says that he is actually the illegitimate son of Master Shouzhe and Lu Wei’s Pride from Changchun Valley,” and so on.

Zhiji, not wanting to be outdone, also shared some information she had learned.

As a result, this intelligence exchange meeting inadvertently turned into a gossip session about the Wang family, intermingled with their complaints. As they talked, they began sharing their work experiences and tips on learning and advancing in their careers.

Demonic Envoy Yulian was so engrossed in their conversation that she joined in the discussion unwittingly.

The three of them chatted for about four hours, not dispersing until late into the night.

…

Several days later.

In the reclusive mountains between the ancient marshes of the Southern Wilderness and Tianfu County.

A clone of the well-known Demon Lord Xietong of the entire Demonic Dynasty was currently sitting cross-legged on a barren rock, meditating.

Around him lay several gigantic Fierce Beasts, their blood and the essence of their Spirit Meat drained, presenting a shriveled and macabre appearance.

Suddenly.

A shadowy wind descended rapidly from the sky and, before landing, transformed into the bewitchingly alluring Shadow Snake Demonic Princess.

With a somewhat solemn expression, she bowed to the Demon Lord Xietong and reported, “Demon King, I have received intelligence from my disciple Yulian. She has successfully infiltrated the Wang family’s territory and has managed to meet up with Zhiji and the others.”

Demon Lord Xietong slowly opened his deep, unfathomable eyes and said coldly, “What about that disciple of yours named Chi Mei Demon Master? What’s her status?”

“According to intelligence sent back by Jade Ji, who infiltrated the Wang family, Chi Mei is still with the Wang family’s expedition team, but hasn’t sent any messages back yet,” reported the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, “But relying on her own abilities, Jade Ji gleaned some clues from key members of the Wang family. The expedition team that Chi Mei is with has strict security, so it’s likely not convenient for her to send messages back.”

“Have Jade Ji find a way to contact Chi Mei. I need to understand the intel on the Wang family’s expedition team,” said Demon Lord Xietong coldly, “If it hinders my grand plans, kekeke.”

“Yes, Demon King,” the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess hesitated slightly before speaking, “The news from Yulian isn’t very good.”

“Speak,” commanded Demon Lord Xietong sharply.

“Yes,” the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess continued, “King Longchang of Dongqian Country and Master Jiang Zhencang from the Sacred Land, both of the Transcendent Void Realm, have apparently arrived at the Wang family’s domain, and they seem to have a good relationship with the Wang family.”

“What?” Demon Lord Xietong’s face turned grave, a trace of his brutal temperament showing on his child-like countenance, “How is it possible that two cultivators of the famed Transcendent Void Realm would venture to such a remote countryside?”

“Demon King, could it be possible that they are there for the Blood Venerate’s ancient relic?” inquired the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, “If that’s the case, the Blood Venerate’s relic might fall into their hands first.”
