He was unaware that Hu Yi had already defected to the Human Clan.

Now the situation with the Demon Race seems wrong; reportedly, even an internal conflict erupted in the Southern Domain, which was suppressed by the Demon Monarch.

Currently, a Transformed Demon sits in Fox People Island, clearly assuming they cannot find Jiang Taixuan's traces. They want to threaten their Clan Leader, and the Fox People wouldn't just watch their leader die. Moreover, the Fox People command the intelligence network of the Chaotic Demon Sea; defecting to the Human Clan would certainly bring attention. Now is the best time to defecting, and the middle-aged Fox Person has long had this method, but he didn't know Hu Yi's view on it until today.

"Defect to the Human Clan?"

"Do you know what the consequences will be if the Demon Race discovers this?"

The elderly Fox Person slammed his cane into the ground, scolding in a low voice. Fear filled his gaze. Know that the Transformed Realm Demon was currently on their Fox People Island; if his spiritual power happened to spread over, he could clearly hear their conversation.

However, the middle-aged Fox Person was somewhat resigned; he spoke out, refusing to back down.

"The Black Dragon Demon Lord clearly preys on us Fox People. If we don't find another way out, we might end up devoured completely by him."

"It's better to fight to the death, defect to the Human Clan, leveraging our intelligence network, they will surely treat us well."

He spoke with reason and evidence, then looked towards Hu Yi sitting at the head.

"Young Master, although we half-demons carry the mark of demonhood, in appearance and habits, we resemble the Human Clan more. Moreover, you have always been considerate towards the Human Clan, why must you plunge into the chaotic waters of the Demon Race?"

He had made up his mind to defect to the Human Clan, painstakingly advising.

But he didn't notice Hu Yi and the elderly Fox Person exchange a quick, unobtrusive glance, then nod in agreement.

"Do you really want to defect to the Human Clan?"

Hu Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Certainly."

The middle-aged Fox Person replied.

Hu Yi's face suddenly broke into a smile, saying: "As long as you diligently complete the tasks I assign you, you're as good as defected to the Human Clan."

What does this mean?

The middle-aged Fox Person was initially stunned, then suddenly realized something, a look of ecstatic joy spread across his face. He was just about to speak when Hu Yi interrupted him.

"Now is the moment of life and death for us Fox People, don't rejoice too early. Try to find that person's trace, even if it's just a front for the Transformed Demon."

The traces of the master still needed finding; Hu Yi felt immense pressure weighing down on him, almost unbearable.

The stress he had endured recently was immense, yet correspondingly, his growth rate was unexpectedly rapid, markedly different from his naïve, inexperienced self from half a year ago.

"Young Master, please go and rest now."

The elderly Fox Person spoke up.

As the core leader of the intelligence network, almost all intelligence had to be consolidated by Hu Yi, synthesizing judgments and even deducing some unknown secrets, yet this consumed significant spiritual power. Hu Yi's cultivation was not high, he could only rely on sheer determination to complete it.

He had not slept for three nights, not overexerting himself, nodding as he headed towards the room behind.

As he entered the room, he found someone in a white garment sitting on a chair, drinking tea.

Just like that day, when he chose him as his master.

Hu Yi instinctively thought he was seeing things, rubbing his eyes, only to find the figure still gazing at him.

Only then did he realize, overflowing with joy, he knelt on the ground, bowing.

"Master, you've returned!"

This person was Jiang Shu, who had just exited from the Eternal Tower.

He had cultivated on the Seventh Floor of the Eternal Tower for nearly half a month, equating to nearly six years in normal time.

Upon leaving, he employed the Two Realms Shuttle to arrive in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

He had gained some insights and required a whetstone to validate his progress.

The Black Dragon Demon Lord seemed suitable.

"When I came earlier, I heard the conversation between you and your subordinate."

"It seems that the old eel is coming."

The Black Dragon Demon Lord's loss at Jiang Shu's hands was no longer a secret in the Chaotic Demon Sea; even those with slightly informed sources knew that Black Dragon Demon Lord had his hand cut off by Jiang Taixuan of the Human Clan.

There were even rumors that the Demon Venerable was extremely dissatisfied, believing the Black Dragon Demon Lord's carelessness caused the Demon Race's morale to falter, intending for him to enter the Endless Sea Domain, to slay the Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm, as battle merit to atone.

Ultimately, the Black Dragon Demon Lord visited with a broken hand, utilizing all his life's connections to stay within the Chaotic Demon Sea, promising to present Jiang Shu's head within two years, returning to the Endless Sea Domain.

"Is this true?"

Jiang Shu said amusedly.

Hu Yi's earlier gloom vanished, his face was unabashedly joyous, nodding: "This news comes from a local Demon Monarch of the Chaotic Demon Sea, likely true. The Black Dragon Demon Lord has nearly overturned the entire Chaotic Demon Sea over the past six months, yet with his trivial skills, how could he possibly find you?"

The Black Dragon Demon Lord occupied Sen Hu Demon Monarch's territory, arousing deep resentment in other Demon Monarchs, thus they wouldn't keep his secret, yearning to tell the world.

"Don't say two years, even twenty years, two hundred years, he won't find you."
