"This Beast Alliance is keeping way too low a profile, isn't it?"
Chen Chang'an and Da Huang had already left Beast God Province. According to the old dean, Mu Ye's Beast Alliance should be located in Cloudsoar Province.
Yet after arriving in Cloudsoar Province, Chen Chang'an and Da Huang hadn't heard even a whisper about the Beast Alliance.
In fact... most people in Cloudsoar had never even heard of it.
Logically, an ancient and powerful organization like the Beast Alliance couldn't possibly be this obscure.
Even if they were low-key, someone should know about them.
"Maybe this area is too remote? So they haven't heard?"
"That doesn't seem right either. Even if it's remote, it's impossible that not a single person knows."
Cloudsoar Province wasn't particularly large, making this situation completely unreasonable—unless the old dean misremembered, and the Beast Alliance wasn't in Cloudsoar at all.
"That old guy's ancient. His memory probably isn't great."
"Maybe it's not in Cloudsoar?" Da Huang asked, looking at Chen Chang'an.
"Unlikely."
"Even though his strength is gradually weakening, his memory isn't that bad yet."
"The Beast Alliance must be in Cloudsoar."
Chen Chang'an was certain the Beast Alliance was in Cloudsoar, but the fact that no one knew about it was indeed eerie.
This wasn't just keeping a low profile—it was downright sneaky, like they were hiding from the world.
"Huh?"
"Why is he here?"
Suddenly, Chen Chang'an spotted someone—someone who shouldn't be here.
"Who?"
"How is it him?"
Following Chen Chang'an's gaze, Da Huang was also stunned.
Chen Chang'an flashed forward, catching up to the man in an instant.
"Huang Duoyu, what are you doing here?" he asked, puzzled.
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person."
"Wrong person my ass. Take a good look at who I am."
"You're really... Chen Chang'an? How is it you?"
Huang Duoyu had been trying to deny it with his head lowered, but at Chen Chang'an's words, he instinctively looked up.
When he saw Chen Chang'an, he froze.
What the hell? After disappearing for thousands of years, he just pops up out of nowhere?
"Not a good place to talk?"
"Then let's move."
Chen Chang'an could tell Huang Duoyu seemed to have something he couldn't say openly. Without hesitation, he grabbed Huang Duoyu and vanished, reappearing outside Cloudsoar Province.
Glancing around at the secluded surroundings, Chen Chang'an casually set up a soundproof barrier.
"What's going on?"
"Why are you here?"
"You can speak freely now. We're no longer in Cloudsoar, and I've set up a barrier."
Already outside Cloudsoar?
"That fast?"
"You're this monstrous now?"
"Wait, no—you've always been monstrous."
"What are you doing here?" Huang Duoyu asked, astonished.
"I was about to ask you the same thing."
"Why are you skulking around here under a fake name? Refusing to admit you're Huang Duoyu?" Chen Chang'an frowned.
Even though they were outside Cloudsoar and behind a barrier, Huang Duoyu still seemed uneasy, cautiously scanning their surroundings.
"Stop looking. There's no one else here."
"Since when did you become so timid?" Chen Chang'an asked, baffled.
"Ugh, don't even ask. The shit I've been through these years—it's been a nightmare."
"Wait, how long has it been since we last saw each other?"
"Four or five thousand years, right?" Huang Duoyu asked curiously.
"About that. Weren't you the young master of the Carefree Sect? What are you doing in this backwater?"
"Did you screw up? Did the Carefree Sect kick you out?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Bullshit! I'm the Carefree Sect's genius, got it? A genius!"
"I'm here on a mission. A mission."
A mission?
Well, isn't this perfect timing?
This guy... could he have infiltrated the Beast Alliance?
"The Beast Alliance? You're a spy?"
"Holy shit, how did you know?"
Bingo.
Chen Chang'an hadn't expected his guess to be right. What he couldn't understand was—what connection did the Carefree Sect have with the Beast Alliance?
Why send a genius like Huang Duoyu here as a spy?
What kind of idiocy was this? Instead of nurturing their talent, they sent him here to die?
"So it's true?"
"Your Carefree Sect is worlds apart from this place—no connection at all. And they sent you to spy?"
"What's really going on?" Chen Chang'an pressed.
"Ugh, it's a long story. They had no choice. The first few groups they sent all vanished without a trace."
"I was young and reckless back then, so I volunteered."
"Regret it? You bet I do. Why the hell did I open my big mouth?" Huang Duoyu wore a face full of regret.
"Young and reckless?"
"I knew you when you were already centuries old. Young?"
"Explain. Why is the Carefree Sect spying on the Beast Alliance?"
Huang Duoyu nodded. He had no reason to hide it from Chen Chang'an—after all, Chen Chang'an had once saved his life.
According to Huang Duoyu, there was no direct grudge between the Carefree Sect and the Beast Alliance.
But out of nowhere, the Carefree Sect's ancestor began sending disciples to this obscure Cloudsoar Province.
Their sole objective: infiltrate the Beast Alliance and uncover its secrets.
Over time, the Carefree Sect sent dozens of operatives. Only three successfully joined the Beast Alliance.
But those three disappeared shortly after, never to be heard from again.
In the end, Huang Duoyu volunteered, adopting a new identity to come to Cloudsoar.
Now, nearly a thousand years had passed.
"You've been here a thousand years?"
"Did you manage to join the Beast Alliance?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Yeah, but... these people are way too cautious. I can't get close to any major secrets."
"At least I'm still alive."
"I'd never even heard of the Beast Alliance before. Who knew they had so many experts?"
"Damn, even a low-ranking leader is at the Deathless Realm. In the Beast Alliance, even a Supreme Realm cultivator doesn't get much respect."
"Think about it—Supreme Realm! In any other faction, that'd be a top-tier expert, right?"
"The Beast Alliance is insane. I don't know how these people cultivate."
"I can't figure out why our ancestor got it into his head to investigate them."
"Honestly? The Beast Alliance could wipe out our Carefree Sect without breaking a sweat."
Chen Chang'an nodded in agreement. The Carefree Sect was powerful—one of the three great sects, alongside the Limitless Sect and the Nine Heavens Sect.
But compared to the Beast Alliance? They were nothing.
"You know why I'm here?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.
"Why? You're also after the Beast Alliance?" Huang Duoyu asked curiously.
"Exactly. Back in Beast God Province, I killed over a dozen of the Beast Alliance's Great Emperor experts."
"Let's just say we're mortal enemies now."
"Moreover, Mu Ye, the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, has something I need."
Over a dozen Great Emperor-level experts?
"Holy shit, that many?"
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"You annihilated... over a dozen Great Emperors?"
