It would rather doubt itself than suspect me

The sudden rogue move from the detection system nearly gave Chen Yi a back spasm.

Admittedly, when he first discovered the issue, it did make him a little nervous. But as the third hand’s divine sense began to exert its power, it quickly gained an overwhelming advantage in this unseen battle of wits!

No helping it—the third hand was, after all, someone who played by no rules. Though its authority wasn’t as high as the detection system’s, its flexibility far surpassed that of a mindless program!

Without any surprises, it soon used its own permissions to lay bare every detail of the detection system’s plans.

Hmm, overall, the detection system did suspect that there was a ghost in the house. After repeatedly scanning all the major secret realms and finding no anomalies, it even began to suspect that the problem lay within itself rather than the backend information processing center.

Honestly, Chen Yi really owed it a word of thanks!

And precisely because it doubted its own functionality, it severed its connection with the backend information processing center, establishing a Combat Power Ranking and a Weekly Growth Ranking to monitor all group members. If any issues were detected, it would handle them internally to avoid affecting the backend center.

It truly was... Chen Yi was so moved that he immediately prepared to express his gratitude with a stab.

[Multiverse Transmigrators Mutual Aid Chat Group #108]

[Damn Tribulation Still Chasing Me (Group Owner): Kids, did you miss me? Get ready—we’re about to have some fun!]

[I Really Don’t Want to Be a Sacrifice (Fang Zheng): Boss, you’re finally back! I didn’t disappoint you, did I? Aside from the three old-timers—Gu Yuan and the others—I’ve surpassed all the brothers who came over from Group #98!]

[The Fallen Genius (Xiao Chunan): Bro Fang, no need for formalities! What’s this about Group #98? I was born a member of #108, and I’ll die a ghost of #108!]

[Just a Few Hardships (Gu Yuan): The future is far less clear than the past. Though my wretched history is painful to recall, it’s precisely because I walked that thorn-covered path that I cherish the peaceful days in #108 even more. Beloved Group Owner, I’m grateful for you!]

"Ahhh, damn it! I really wanna fight you talent monsters to the death!!!"

The clumsy imitator Xiao Chunan let out a howl of despair.

[Runner-Up in the Cultivation World (Chen Bo): Boss, I’m sorry. You told me to lie low, but... I just couldn’t hold back. While the chat group was undergoing maintenance, the enemy sect grew aggressive, breaking all rules of engagement and launching a sneak attack on our senior brother—shattering his dantian...

Senior brother took great care of me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I stopped hiding and took down eighteen of their elite disciples in a row. A full-scale sect war erupted instantly!

It’s still ongoing. Want to come and earn some points?]

Truth be told, Chen Bo had long wanted to ask the group for help.

But the Group Owner had given strict orders—no matter how dire the situation, unless given permission, they had to grit their teeth and endure.

On the other side, seeing this message, Chen Yi belatedly recalled the directive he’d issued.

But that was during leaner times—points were hard to come by, and reserves were low, so careful planning was necessary.

Now? Plans had changed. He’d lost all interest in points. After all, the mission rewards essential for the group’s early survival phase were only useful during the stealthy development period. Later on, a single haul could net billions of points—those paltry mission rewards weren’t even worth pocket change.

Yet, he hadn’t expected someone to still adhere to the old arrangements, holding them close to heart and daring not to overstep.

[Damn Tribulation Still Chasing Me: My oversight. Previous arrangements are void. Points no longer matter. All members, prioritize your safety. Chen Bo, share your location. Gu Yuan, go handle this—settle it quickly.]

[Just a Few Hardships (Gu Yuan): Understood!]

[Runner-Up in the Cultivation World (Chen Bo): Thank you, Boss! Elder Gu Yuan, I leave it to you!]

[Runner-Up in the Cultivation World has initiated location sharing.]

[Just a Few Hardships has accepted the invitation. Concealment buff applied. Note: Due to your excessive combat power, maintain a low profile to avoid detection by the local Heavenly Dao.]

At the same time.

Piaoyi Continent, heart of the Baiyue Lands.

Yellow sand blotted the sky as gales howled, bending trees sideways.

Three thousand disciples of the Feiju Sect stood in Eight Trigrams formation, their radiant aura coalescing into a majestic Qilin phantom that tore through the dusky heavens.

"Blood River Inversion!" The Blood Fiend Sect’s leader crushed a crimson jade token with pale fingers, and a hundred thousand disciples roared in unison.

In an instant, scarlet light erupted from the earth’s veins, weaving into a hundred-zhang-long blood python that coiled around the Qilin phantom!

The Qilin trod upon auspicious clouds; the python strangled with brute force. The moment they collided, shockwaves shattered dunes for a thousand li!

High above, the powerhouses of both sects faced off.

"Chen Bo!" The Blood Fiend Sect’s Grand Elder rasped, "You, a senior, bullied juniors, slaughtering eighteen of our core disciples! This grudge is irreconcilable! If you don’t give an explanation today, your Feiju Sect will perish!"

"Chu Sheng, don’t be a beast in human skin!" The Feiju Sect’s former sect master shielded Chen Bo and retorted, "What ‘bullying juniors’? Chen Bo merely chanced upon some heavenly fortune and broke through to the Divine Transformation realm. At his core, he’s still of the younger generation! If your people are weak, who’s to blame?!"

"Zhou Fugen, you !" Chu Sheng bellowed. "You ! Divine Transformation and still a junior? Are you even listening to yourself? I swear to !"

"You bloodthirsty savage, feasting on flesh and drinking blood—you cultivate power but lack virtue! How dare you..." Zhou Fugen’s tirade was cut short as Chen Bo, his face dark with fury, suddenly shot forward to the front lines.

Stretching his neck out in an utterly unreasonable manner, he flashed an infuriatingly smug expression and spat:

"My actions are none of your concern!"

"Eat sht and die!!!"

The Blood Fiend Sect’s Grand Elder Chu Sheng was stunned. How was he this bold?

A mere early-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, daring to leave the protection of the formation and provoke a late-stage Body Unity expert at close range?

What sheer audacity!

Chu Sheng roared, "Arrogant fool!!!"

His pale hand shot toward Chen Bo’s throat—

But at that moment.

A dazzling spatial rift tore open behind Chen Bo, and an overwhelmingly terrifying aura spilled forth, warping the void in an instant!

The entire battlefield fell deathly silent...
