I Can Travel between Two Worlds

"Two days ago, Lingxuan City carried out a secret mission, assembling six Golden Core Cultivators and a hundred Late Period Foundation Establishment Disciples, preparing to attack a Demon Cultivator stronghold..."

"According to intelligence, there are only three Core Formation Cultivators and over a hundred Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators at that stronghold. If we can take it down, it would be a blow to the Demon Sect..."

"But for some reason, this operation was known to the Demon Sect in advance, and Wu the Old Monster himself was guarding that stronghold!"

"In the end, all dispatched disciples and Core Formation Elders were killed, with only one Core Formation Cultivator from the Celestial Pill Sect managing to escape back, but he quickly died after delivering the news..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Six Golden Core Cultivators and over a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators dead, this is a significant loss for the entire Righteous Alliance.

You could say this was the most devastating action for the Righteous Alliance in recent years since retreating to Fog Country.

The Righteous Alliance investigated the strength of the Demon Sect’s stronghold in advance and aimed for a surprise attack, but in the end, they got hurt themselves instead.

The odds of coincidence here are slim.

Indeed, there is a strong possibility of a spy lurking around.

Lin Chen squinted, recalling the list he had obtained a few years back.

"Martial Uncle Wang, do we have the list of upper-level members aware of this operation?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

"Yes, nowadays the Righteous Alliance is probably full of holes, and in Qinghe City, I can only trust you three..."

The Array Peak Master handed over a list.

The list had quite a few names, nearly fifteen Golden Core Cultivators.

Including elders from the Celestial Pill Sect, Changchun Sect, and other cultivation forces across the two realms...

After reading, Lin Chen’s gaze locked onto a name.

In an instant, Lin Chen understood.

"Indeed, it should be him..." he thought silently.

"Nephew Lin, have you discovered anything?"

At this moment, the Array Peak Master asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"Based solely on this list, I can’t discern much."

"However, Nephew believes that since we have this list, the spy must be among these fifteen people."

"During the next operation, we can divide these cultivators, only inform some of them with intelligence, and repeatedly compare. As long as the spy takes action, we can surely identify them..."

Listening to Lin Chen’s words, the Array Peak Master nodded and said:

"Ah, for now, it seems this is the best we can do."

"Although the Righteous Alliance seems to have comparable strength to the Demon Sect, it gathers dozens of powers, and there are too many mixed individuals..."

...

After returning home, Lin Chen took out the list he obtained from the Demon Sect’s stronghold a few years ago.

This list recorded about six forces.

A few years ago, these forces were only Foundation Establishment Powers, but now, half of them have upgraded to Core Formation Powers.

During the conflict between the Orthodox and Demonic Party, some cultivation clans naturally wanted to protect themselves.

Hence, although they were part of the Righteous Alliance, they secretly colluded with the Demon Sect.

However, these traitors have levels.

Some merely maintain superficial relations with the Demon Sect, selling some low-tier Magical Treasures and Pills.

The impact is limited...

But some sell Magical Treasures, Pills, and even crucial intelligence.

Lin Chen squinted and muttered:

"Four Great Clans, Cai Family..."

"Back when I saw the Cai Family’s name in the letter, I was taken aback."

"But the letter is highly likely to be real, the evidence is solid, and now in this operation, Patriarch Cai’s name appears again..."

Lin Chen estimated in his mind, it’s most likely that the Cai Family is colluding with the Demon Sect from within and without.

As one of the Four Great Clans in Yanlai Country, the Cai Family’s power ranks in the top six within Yanlai Realm.

In the entire Righteous Alliance, it also ranks in the top ten powers.

It has one Golden Core, one Fake Pill, and dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators...

It has already become a faction.

But once they become a traitor, the larger the power of the Cai Family, the bigger the threat to the Righteous Alliance.

Lin Chen caught the spy, but he couldn’t directly speak out.

Firstly, he couldn’t easily present evidence, otherwise his identity would be exposed, it would just be unfounded claims.

Secondly, even if the Cai Family is eradicated, the losses from this operation cannot be recovered.

Therefore, upon seeing that list, Lin Chen already had a plan.

Currently, he should guard against the cultivators on the list.

Then at an appropriate time, reveal the traitors on the list.

It would be best to use their own strategies against them to inflict some damage on the Demon Sect...

"However, this matter is not suitable for revealing using my true identity."

"Let’s wait for a while, now is not the best timing to reveal it..."

...

As spring passed and autumn came, two and a half years flew by.

During these two and a half years, the stalemate between the Demon Sect and the Righteous Alliance continued.

The sides were divided at Fog Mountain, occasionally exploring each other’s territory for flaws, leading to small-scale battles.

Overall, many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators perished, but few Core Formation Cultivators died.

The Demon Sect tried multiple times to conquer Lingxuan City but was blocked outside the City Defense Array.

It must be said, the array formation skills of the Changchun Sect are indeed remarkable.

It took three whole years, including Lin Chen, with about ten Array Masters working together to lay down two City Defense Arrays.

Solidly protecting Qinghe City and Lingxuan City.

The technique used by the Array Peak Master was called Array-in-Array.

Setting up a large array tens of miles away from the two cities.

Then, within the array, placing arrays such as Mist Array, Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array, Burning Wood Heaven-Caging Array, and others.

Each array linked to the other, interlocking in chains, making it difficult even for Nascent Soul Cultivators to pass easily.

The Righteous Alliance guarding the two cities for years was closely related to these arrays.

And during these two and a half years, Lin Chen continued on his peaceful cultivation.

Still maintained one-way contact through Martial Arts Puppets and Guangyuan Auction.

Though earning slowly, ensuring his basic cultivation, he also amassed over three million Spirit Stones.

Until that morning, as Lin Chen finished his cultivation, he prepared to stroll around Qinghe City.

Just as he stepped out the door, a Core Formation Elder from Changchun Sect approached him.

"Elder Lin, here’s a letter for you, sent from the Sect, along with a Storage Bag..."

Lin Chen nodded, "Thank you!"

"You’re welcome, Elder Lin, I’ll leave you to your business... I need to deliver some items to other elders." The Core Formation Elder smiled, quickly leaving.

The Orthodox and Demonic Party have been facing off for years, and Lin Chen has constantly stayed at the frontline.

Moreover, frontline Core Formation Elders are not permitted to leave easily.

But Core Formation Elders also have relatives and friends they need to contact, not everyone has Communication Jade Scrolls.

And Jade Scrolls may not reach seven thousand miles away...

Hence, this old-fashioned way of letters has been put to use.

Specific elders travel between the Sect and the frontline, carrying letters, pills, and rear supplies.

Over the years, Lin Chen has received some pills and letters sent by senior brothers and sisters.

Upon receiving the letter, Lin Chen lost the mood for wandering the city, thus returned home.

Opening the letter and reading carefully, Lin Chen showed a look of surprise.

The letter was sent by Huang Xin.

"Senior Brother Lin, I hope you’re doing well."

"Senior Brother, rest assured and fight at the frontline; over the years, I’ve recruited many Outer Sect Disciples, and the scale of the Medicine Garden has further expanded."

"Two years ago, I mentioned to Senior Brother that I had acquired two more Medicine Gardens and a mining vein..."

"In the Storage Bag with the letter, there are three years’ worth of earnings from the Medicine Garden and the mine, including fifty thousand First Tier Spiritual Medicine and four thousand Second Tier Spiritual Medicine..."

"..."

Lin Chen roughly read the letter, mainly describing Huang Xin’s endeavors in expanding the Medicine Garden and mining veins at the rear.

Sending over the acquired Ore and Spiritual Medicine...

After over three years, Huang Xin’s cultivation also reached the Third Layer of Foundation Establishment, fairly moderate.

Lin Chen took out the Storage Bag, seeing it filled with Spiritual Medicine and Ore, and showed a look of admiration.

"That kid, really quite reliable..."

"Though not many, these Spiritual Medicine and Ore represent a considerable amount."

Lin Chen nodded, planning to bring it back to Blue Star.

"Counting the days, today is the day to return to Blue Star; this batch of pills and ore came just in time..."
