These words directly stunned Jian Xuan.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Was it because their Dao Xuan Sect's reputation had declined, making this fellow so bold as to engage in 'black eats black' schemes and still try to extort him for more?

Or was it that his disciple hadn't told the truth, claiming to have been 'black eaten black' despite completing the transaction, in an attempt to swallow the resources?

Thinking of this, Jian Xuan turned a suspicious gaze towards Yun Zhou, wanting to carefully observe his reaction.

However, from Yun Zhou, he only saw deep confusion.

Yun Zhou sized up Zuo Yutang and muttered subconsciously, "That's not right, the person from before didn't look like this..."

Hearing this, a flash of insight suddenly struck Jian Xuan's mind.

"You shut up!"

He hurriedly turned his head and scolded the constantly ranting Zuo Yutang.

Then, he pointed at Yun Zhou and asked, "You said you handed over the Tai Xuan Token. Did you give it to him?"

Zuo Yutang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "It wasn't him!"

Jian Xuan frowned and looked at Yun Zhou, "Was he the one who snatched your things?"

"No, it wasn't!"

Hearing their answers, Jian Xuan immediately understood.

Someone had intercepted them.

But, why?

Their Dao Xuan Sect had been very secretive in their actions to obtain the Tai Xuan Token this time.

Even within the sect, few people knew they were going to exchange for the Tai Xuan Token from this Zuo Yutang.

Jian Xuan fell into silence.

Meanwhile, Zuo Yutang and Yun Zhou exchanged a glance, and they both understood.

Zuo Yutang shook his head frantically.

"That's not right, that person clearly recited the password, how could they not be one of you?"

Yun Zhou sighed and said, "The so-called password you're talking about, is it that riddle?"

"With wings, it can't move an inch; without feet, it travels the world?"

Zuo Yutang nodded, "Yes, that password. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to figure out its answer. Who else could give the password besides your people?"

"I'm all alone, I haven't revealed this matter to anyone. Could it be that someone within your ranks leaked the password?"

Leaked my ass!

Jian Xuan finally understood at this moment.

Why both sides were so easily deceived.

This was a damn stupid password.

Even children who had just started private school could guess the answer.

And this Zuo Yutang was still confident that there was a problem within their Dao Xuan Sect?

Jian Xuan waved his sleeves impatiently, "Go, go, go! If you mess things up, get lost immediately!"

Zuo Yutang opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But upon seeing Jian Xuan's murderous gaze, he ultimately held back and left without saying anything.

"Hmph!"

Jian Xuan snorted coldly and looked up at a spot in the sky.

"Lord Song, have you watched enough of the joke?"

The air twisted, and a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Demon Suppression Division appeared.

At this moment, he was bending over, constantly slapping his thigh.

It seemed he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry... haha, Daoist Jian Xuan, it's just that I hahaha... thought of something funny."

Jian Xuan's face was ashen, and he took several deep breaths to steady his mind.

Looking at this Lord Song, he said, "My Dao Xuan Sect came here with all the proper procedures, why has Lord Song been watching us these past few days?"

Song Qingfeng, a Hunyuan realm expert from the Demon Suppression Division, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile:

"There's no helping it, Daoist Jian Xuan. You previously had unauthorized inter-state travel, so the Demon Suppression Division naturally has to pay extra attention."

Jian Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Is it the same with the Wuxiang Temple?"

Not long ago, he had personally gone to Youzhou to snatch back the Tai Xuan Token.

If it weren't for the meddling of the bald donkey from the Wuxiang Temple, he would have successfully brought Shen Lin back to the sect at that time.

That time, the bald donkey from the Wuxiang Temple also didn't have a record.

Hearing Jian Xuan's question, Song Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, we have another colleague from the Demon Suppression Division watching over there."

Now, Jian Xuan felt a little more balanced in his heart.

He nodded, didn't say another word, and went straight back to the courtyard.

Yun Zhou followed behind him, turning his head every few steps.

Seeing Song Qingfeng disappear into the air again, he opened his mouth and asked, "Master, doesn't the Demon Suppression Division only have those two Deputy Commanders in the Hunyuan realm? Who was that person just now?"

Jian Xuan said casually, "The Great Wei Demon Suppression Division is a behemoth that spreads its power throughout the world, how could it only have two Hunyuan realm experts?"

Yun Zhou asked curiously, "I know that, but aren't their Hunyuan realm experts all in the ranks of the Demon Quelling Marquis?"

"You're right!"

Jian Xuan affirmed, then sighed, "But why don't you think about where those Demon Quelling Marquis Hunyuan realm experts who have completed their designated service time, and those who have had to retire due to injuries, have gone?"

"The water in the Demon Suppression Division is deep."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Demon Suppression Division would become one of the five Heavenly-level forces of Great Wei?"

Heavenly-level forces, there is no such explicit term in Great Wei.

In the imperial court's ranking system, the most powerful sects are only referred to as First-Rank Sects.

But among so many forces, there are some whose strength cannot be compared with ordinary First-Rank Sects.

Such as the behemoth that is the Demon Suppression Division.

Such as the imperial family that controls the entire dynasty.

And such as the other three sects that possess Heavenly-level cultivation methods.

A total of five forces, each possessing Heavenly-level cultivation methods and possessing Dharma Idol realm existences.

These are the forces that stand at the pinnacle of Great Wei.

The Dao Xuan Sect's struggles for so many years have been to enter among them.

To become a chess player!

But to achieve this, they must enter this Tai Xuan Secret Realm.

As soon as he thought of this, Jian Xuan felt a headache.

Seeing him rubbing his forehead, Yun Zhou tentatively asked in a low voice, "Master, why don't we find another person willing to sell the Tai Xuan Token?"

"Difficult!"

Jian Xuan shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, there was not much time left before the opening of the Tai Xuan Secret Realm.

Most of those who came to Qingzhou had already made preparations to enter the secret realm.

Even if their Dao Xuan Sect had a rich foundation and was willing to pay a great price to exchange for the Tai Xuan Token.

Which of those holding the Tai Xuan Token didn't have a large sect standing behind them?

They didn't lack what the Dao Xuan Sect could offer.

Zuo Yutang was willing to trade because his sect had collapsed and he had no place to obtain cultivation resources.

Where could they find such a rogue cultivator with a Tai Xuan Token now?

Just then, Yun Zhou's expression suddenly changed, as if he had remembered something.

"Master, I heard someone discussing outside earlier, it seems that among the people participating in the Tai Xuan Secret Realm this time, there is a person named Leng Xiang, who is a rogue cultivator."

Hearing this, Jian Xuan's eyes immediately lit up.
