Chapter 1101: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety: The Fate of the Wind Pollination Chapter 1101: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety: The Fate of the Wind Pollination “Sister Xiu’er spoke out in indignation, and at the same time, a large swath of clouds and fog appeared out of nowhere. By the time the fog had cleared, the figure of the woman was nowhere to be seen.”
“So, are you picking on me because my legs aren’t good?”
A bit of fog couldn’t obscure Tang Luo’s vision; it was just that the other party had vanished without a trace, and he couldn’t catch up.
Besides, even if he could catch up, what good would it do? The problems the other party was facing couldn’t be resolved by simply facing them together.
All that could be done now was to wait.

Inside the Spirit World Passage
The middle-aged man tending to the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul heard the noise but didn’t show a pleasant face.
The Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, as the weapon of the Yun Clan’s ancestor, held an extremely important position within the Yun Clan.
Many clansmen believed that it even contained the ancestor’s inheritance, and now, this Divine Artifact was half-destroyed.
Even if it happened during an encounter with the Devil Lord, such a mistake was unforgivable, not to mention the absurd idea of compensating for the loss of the Divine Artifact with a single Asura Divine Heart.
Even though Yun Xiu was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yun Clan, she still had to receive the appropriate punishment to satisfy the masses.
Giving her one night’s time was already the greatest leniency as an elder.
Sister Xiu’er walked behind the middle-aged man and stood still, her expression as lifeless as a scarecrow in a rice field, her demeanor as numb as a walking corpse.
Perhaps she was also aware of how great a sin it was to lose the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul within the clan. Even with the protection of the eldest son, she could not be completely unscathed.
The elders had long wanted to persuade the Yun Clan to contribute to the family in another way. With such a significant oversight now, how could they not take this opportunity to make a big issue of it!
The middle-aged man turned around, looked at his niece’s numb expression, and sighed before asking, “Is everything taken care of?”
Sister Xiu’er nodded her head.
“Now that it’s done, come with me to the inner house of the Xiang Family,” the middle-aged man instructed softly. “The Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace, Duan Long’en, with his son Duan Longshu, has secretly been in the city for more than a month. The Evil King Palace and the Xiang Family must be plotting something big. Blood Tower needs firsthand information to be able to respond in time!”
Speaking, the middle-aged man took out a lifelike portrait and pointed to each figure, explaining one by one, “This is Duan Longcheng, the Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace, from the Fierce Realm with dual cultivation in spirit body, mastered the Escape Technique to the transformation level, and is also a ranked powerhouse bestowed by Martial Saint Mountain, the top Dao Child of the previous generation from Longzhou.”
“This is his eldest son, Duan Longshu, who placed fifth in the 20th Young Martial Arts Tournament. Don’t underestimate this ranking. The few people ahead of him are the talents of this era, beings who have reached the Fierce Realm before the age of thirty. Unlike his father, he has chosen the secret techniques of the Evil King Palace, the path of ‘Silent Death and Oblivion.’ His spirit techniques are cunning and vicious, and his combat power is extremely strong, even stronger than Xiang Loulan by a few notches.”
“The rest are all the maids and servants of the Xiang Residence. Here we have the steward Xiang Xing, the head maid Sister Juan, and then Chunhua, Xialan, Qiuzhu, Dongmei, Hexiang, Xueliu, Piaoxu… cooks… manservants…”
As a professional intelligence officer, Yun Xiu had fully understood that this was preparation work for her to infiltrate the Xiang Residence and gather intelligence.
The target this time was the conspiracy between the Evil King Palace and the Xiang Family of Chaochang. The woman, trained professionally, listened only once and memorized all the names and faces.
Accompanying the middle-aged man through the Spirit World Passage towards the inner city, they encountered a small trouble at the border between the middle district and the Upper City District.
The formation array set up on Little New Year’s Eve was still in operation; the Formation Stakes hammered into the ground, and the formation’s light barrier blocked their way forward. Although the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul could tear open a gap,
now there was only one Divine Artifact glove left, which meant that if both needed to retreat, they must do so at the same time. Otherwise, the person without the glove, trying to leave through the Spirit World Passage, would inevitably trigger the array.
The middle-aged man used the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul to rip a large hole in the formation’s light curtain, big enough for two people to pass. Once they reached the underground of the Xiang family’s inner house, he turned to Sister Xiu’er with a serious warning, “The task of espionage on the collusion with the Evil King Palace falls to you. Be cautious in all matters and make sure not to give away any signs.”
Uncle nodded, and Sister Xiu’er deployed another spirit seal, entering the sewage system running beneath the entirety of Chaochang through the Spirit World Passage.
As a secret agent of Blood Tower stationed in Chaochang, although Sister Xiu’er hadn’t established a qualified intelligence network over the years, she had thoroughly mapped out the underground water system of the Upper City District.
This was precisely why a Ghost Assassin could cause such palpitations among the influential families of Chaochang: No matter how intricate the formation array, you could always be easily infiltrated by this individual.
Emerging from a pond through the sewer, Sister Xiu’er watched from beneath the thin ice as maidservants carried charcoal basins towards the rooms of the nobility in the chilling Winter weather.
To call them nobility was but a courtesy; they were merely playthings kept within the residence, titled ladies in name but slaves in writing. However, even slaves had their hierarchy.
As humbled as these women were before their masters, they were equally haughty towards the servants. So even if their hands were burned by the charcoal basins, the maidservants wouldn’t utter a complaint, afraid to chill the noble occupants upon the warm kang.
This moment provided the perfect opportunity for impersonation. Spotting an opportunity, Sister Xiu’er broke the ice at the edge of the pond, knocked unconscious the maid who came out first after delivering the charcoal basin, dragged her into the bushes, changed into her clothes, and dried her own damp garments. She then wrapped the unfortunate maid tightly and stealthily placed her in the Spirit World Passage.
The maidservant was named Chunhua, whom Sister Xiu’er had seen in the album. What she had to do now was to blend into the maidservants’ room without arousing suspicion and wait for another meeting between the leaders of the Evil King Palace and the Xiang Family.

Xiang Residence Guest Room
Duan Longcheng, looking at his restless eldest son, reprimanded him displeasedly, “A warrior stands between heaven and earth and must remain impassive with Mount Tai crumbling before him and deer frolicking to his side. Only then can one control advantages and disadvantages and confront the enemy. Showing such an agitated mindset after merely lingering for two days, how can you be entrusted with great responsibilities?”
“Father, with uncle’s whereabouts unknown, he must have been captured by the Longxi Alliance. If we don’t demand his return from the Longxi Alliance, why are we dealing diplomatically with the Xiang Family and Xiang Ange? That man is nothing but an old fox; after dragging us along for two days he has shown no intentions; it’s clear he doesn’t regard our Evil King Palace at all!”
Upon watching his son’s exasperation, Duan Longcheng spoke indifferently, “To demand his return from the Longxi Alliance would be to admit that the madman impersonating Gouchen in Longzhou was dispatched by the Evil King Palace. Once recognized, we would face the countless accusations of Longzhou and the inquisition of the Dutian Heavenly King. How would the Evil King Palace handle that?”
“But we can’t just ignore uncle, right?” Duan Longshu thought for a moment and then said through clenched teeth, “Even if we reveal ourselves, it’s better than watching uncle face death.”
Duan Longcheng looked at his son with a half-smile, “Are you starting to fear now?”
“Father… what are you saying?”
