"Haha, that's not it. We are monitoring the Earth Sect. What we can't obtain, the Earth Sect can't either."

"No, we won't help anyone. We have our own purposes."

"Why didn't you charge for the questions just now?"

"This is just a casual chat, it's not a problem at all. Oh right, since we have earned 50 thousand [Grade 6 Spirit Pill] from you, we are very happy to give you a secret."

"What secret?" "You'd better go back to your hometown. There's something strange going on."

"You'll know when you get back. It's not a big deal, but it's very important to you."

He had only spent 50 thousand Tier 6 Spiritual Pills and found out a lot of secrets. Even a mysterious organization like the Earth Sect was by his side. It seemed that the Sky Sect was still very friendly, and the matters of the family weren't that big. Otherwise, the Sky Sect would have told him. Since it was almost New Year's, he had to make a trip home. Once he got home, he would know.

"I'll treat you guys to a meal." Duan Ling Tian issued an invitation, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse.

"We never eat with our employers, that's the rule," Duan said.

After returning to the sect, Duan Ru Yue gave the order to report anything that happened in the future, especially to the Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate. An invisible net was set free.

Duan Ru Tian couldn't just sit there and wait for death; he had to know his own person.

After a few days, it was close to the end of the new year. The disciples of both sides of the Fire Sect were allowed to return home for a month or more, so it was absolutely necessary to return on the second day of the second month. This was because it was the inner sect's election day.

Because Duan Ru Yue had something on his mind, he wanted to head back earlier and see what exactly was happening at home.

Normally, those from the Fire Sect who were on duty also had to stay behind. They couldn't all go back, as did the Pill Sect. Duan Meng asked a lot of people, and most of them were going back. Only a few were willing to stay in the Fire Sect to cultivate.

The sect had managers as well. Even though their organization was loose, they couldn't afford to be a loose end. Many people were willing to stay in the sect as a subsidy for staying on duty with 300 thousand Tier 5 Spirit Pills.

Qi Liang was willing to follow him back. There was no need to talk about Little Phoenix Fairy and Hei Yan. Duan Ling Tian would follow him wherever he went, especially Hei Yan. He was worried even if he had to return to the Poison Sect.

This time, they were going to swagger around when they returned. Duan Meng got the pigeons to summon four cranes from their home sect, the Pill Sect. The four of them mounted the cranes and returned to their home sect in the Qi Lan Mountains.

The news of Duan Ling Tian's return quickly spread throughout the Pill Sect. Whether it was Bu Baoyuan, Bu Baofang, or Elder Guyun, they all came to the main hall to welcome Duan Jidao back.

"Young master Duan, you're back! I missed you so much!" Bu Baoyuan was the closest to him, so he immediately hugged Duan Ru Yue. Bu Baofang stood to the side. Although he didn't dare to directly embrace Duan Ru, he still knelt down and paid his respects. Bu Baofang had the friendship of a teacher and student to Duan Ru Yue, so he naturally didn't dare act rashly.

Gu Yun had recovered his cultivation very well. Right now, he was basically at 100% and was in a good mood. Ever since he renewed the 30 years' contract with Duan Meng, he considered the Pill Sect his home.

"Young master, how's the matter with the Fire Sect?"

"It's ancient. I'm still in the outer sect and I'll enter the inner sect next year. There are some things that I still don't know."

Gu Yun smiled, "Then I won't ask. The inner sect has its own rules. Those who aren't from the inner sect are not allowed to spread rumors. Although I have been out for many years, I am still from the inner sect."

Only now did Duan Ru knew why all the inner court disciples kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything about what had happened in the inner court. So it was because of the oath, after all, it was hard to go against the rules of the heaven.

The banquet was a grand one, and everyone in the sect came with a reputation of more than a thousand people. Everyone knew that Duan Meng was the founder of the sect, and even though he had stepped down now, his authority was still higher than the sect leader. Even the Sky Birds and Earth Beasts of the Qilan Mountain Range followed his orders. Bu Baoyuan was only the executor. It wasn't that Duan Meng refused to hand over the authority, but rather, Bu Baoyuan didn't have enough mana.

"Brother Bu, is there anything wrong with the Pill Sect?" Duan Ling Tian recalled the words of the Eye of Qi.

"No, the current Qilan Mountain is an impregnable fortress. Not to mention someone trying to scheme against it, even the Emperor of the Great Yu Empire would come personally every year to pay his respects. The other sects all have the Pill Sect as their friends, and the Pill Sect is in its prime right now."

Duan Meng was still worried. The Sky Sect was the number one mysterious sect in the world, and its ability was unfathomable. They wouldn't lie for no reason, and since the Qi Tong technique said there was something wrong, then there must be something going on.

"Brother Bu, it's not that I don't trust you, but are you sure you're alright? Think about it carefully? "

Bu Baoyuan thought for a while and was unable to come up with anything. Bu Baofang interrupted, "Young master, the Pill Sect is fine, but there is something wrong with your hometown, Wolong Village."

"Hmm? Tell me about it? "

"Young master, it's like this, your hometown was arranged to be in the Qi Lan Valley, your environment is good, your Feng Shui is great, it can be said to be a good place to cultivate your health, in recent years, there have been many disciples who have entered the Pill Sect, but, starting from the first half of the year, the people in the village started believing in the Hell sect and began worshipping the Three Immortals, the Earth Hall King, the King of Hell and the King of Hell, they are said to be very effective, I have also reported this to my big brother, he said that this is young master's family business, and your freedom is young master's, so there is no need to ask about it."

Duan Meng immediately understood that religion was the most fascinating thing. Someone must have infiltrated Mount Qilan once again. Seeing the Pill Sect's iron bucket, he started with Duan Lian's family members. Although the villagers of Wolong Village weren't Duan Ren's direct relatives, they were still family members that had raised him since he was young. It seemed that these people were very vicious.

The next day, Duan Meng impatiently arrived at the Wolong Village in the Qi Lan Valley. The village chief was still Duan Guoyi, so he was naturally happy to see Duan Ling Tian return. After getting drunk to half anhydride, Duan Ru Yue pretended to be drunk and asked about the Three Immortals' matter. Duan Guoyi was extremely happy. He was beaming with joy as he spoke of how useful the Three Immortals were.

He said that the child of a certain family was sick, and that it would be better if he went to the Three Immortals' Temple to request for the autograph. The people of this particular family wanted to make a fortune, so after they asked for the autograph, their family gained a few thousand taels of gold. There were many such things, so Duan Guoyi had no choice but to believe it.

Duan Meng felt a sense of danger. It seemed that his opponent had used up all his resources, and in order to control his fellow villagers, he even used the power of a religion. It seemed like it wasn't easy to understand this cult.

Immediately after, Duan Meng had no reaction. He made some arrangements with Qi Liang and the other two before staying in the village. Regardless of day or night, he started to monitor the movements in the village.

Right now, the four of them were all Qi Disciple level 2, which was dozens of levels higher than the Pill Sect's Bu Baoyuan. It was even easier for them to deal with these villagers. As long as the four of them moved, even if they walked in the village, they would still be able to move at the speed of the wind. With the village's level of vision, they wouldn't be able to see clearly and wouldn't know the movements of the four people.

Sure enough, after the four of them stayed for three days, they discovered some clues. After analyzing the situation of the three of them, they came to a conclusion. The few young men in the village were already under someone's control and had learned extremely high skills. Although they couldn't compare to Duan Jian, they were already considered top experts in the village.

There must be a conspiracy here that controlled all of the villagers. Duan Meng directly clearing out the villagers required him to use some sort of method, so Duan Meng came up with a solution.
