Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 720 - 388 Clearing Suspicions_2

Chapter 720: Chapter 388: Clearing Suspicions_2 Chapter 720: Chapter 388: Clearing Suspicions_2 Logistics support…

What was I to do?

With a probe into the token with my divine sense, the mission was indeed there.

——Retrieve a batch of Fasting Pills from the sect’s warehouse, prepare the standard armors for close-combat professions, ready talismans for mages, and so on.

Personally transport them to the Indefinite Layer.

Once the mission is completed, I can return to the sect and attend to my own matters.

Only when there is another logistics supply mission will I act again.

Quite humane.

Is this the sect’s way of taking care of me?

Shen Ye stepped out of the pill room, only to find several cultivators already standing outside.

“True Disciple Nangong Wantu of the Mysterious Gate?”

The leader inquired.

“It is I, may I ask who these brothers are?” Shen Ye looked around at everyone.

“Like you, we are all in charge of logistics escort.” Several people pulled out identical tokens, displaying them before Shen Ye.

“I am a new disciple and am not very familiar with many things; I would ask my brothers for guidance.” Shen Ye bowed politely.

“Of course, of course,” they all said.

Shen Ye was about to exchange a few more pleasantries to close the distance between them when suddenly, rows of faintly glowing small characters appeared:

“The Formation-Breaking Holy Staff has sensed the power fluctuations of the great array of the Taoist Palace on the stage, it has sensed the incursion of the Supreme Soul Demon.”

“The protective function is currently activated, shattering the illusion before your eyes, allowing you to see the truth.”

Shen Ye was taken aback.

Before his eyes, the sect brothers vanished.

In their place were shadowy humanoid figures.

——These brothers are not human!

The faint glow formed into small characters:

“You are seeing the Soul Demons of the Supreme Binding Life Refining Soul Palace.”

Soul Demons!

Shen Ye’s heart clenched violently.

These were the disciples devoured by the Dharma Aspect·Supreme Binding Life Refining Soul Palace; their souls transformed into Soul Demons, disguised as normal humans, reappearing in the Taoist Palace.

——Yun Ni is dead; along with her Heart Demon, vanished without a trace.

Then naturally, these Soul Demons come from the Sect Master Saint.

But that’s not right!

Everything was fine yesterday, so why has he suddenly started to doubt me now?

Shen Ye’s thoughts raced, but he maintained a smile and asked:

“What should we do now, brothers?”

The leading Soul Demon spoke, “You are the junior sent personally by Elder Tu Fusheng; the Sect Leader and other Elders care about you, and they instructed us to look after you.”

Shen Ye immediately showed a grateful expression and bowed:

“Even so, I will strive to complete the mission and not hold my brothers back.”

Everyone laughed.

“Alright, if you’re so cooperative, how could we make things difficult for you?”

“What does brother mean?”

“Give me the token, and leave the transport of the supplies to us——”

“I see you are practicing alchemy; just concentrate on your research, and if you manage to refine some good elixirs in the future, don’t forget your brothers.”

“Thank you, brothers!” Shen Ye said gratefully.

He handed over the token.

The Soul Demon took the token, then handed him an array plate, saying:

“This array plate is engraved with a high-level shielding array that isolates all interference; keep it with you and focus on your alchemy practice.”

Shen Ye took the array plate and handed a storage bag to the other party, saying with a smile:

“This is too kind—I can’t just take this for nothing, brother, this is a small token of my appreciation.”

Weighing the storage bag, the Soul Demon gave the advice “Work hard” before turning to leave with the rest.

Only Shen Ye remained, standing in the same place.

He rubbed his hands together gleefully, muttering to himself, “I don’t have to run around and still get sect contribution points; this really is a good deal.”

After saying this, he strode into the pill room, shut the door, casually activated the array plate, and immediately started alchemy.

The situation was wrong.

Why suddenly confine me here, continue my alchemy?

I was supposed to go to the Indefinite Layered Universe!

What exactly…

Shen Ye flicked a Taoist formula with his hands.

The pill furnace burst forth with a roaring flame.

Upon reflection, it seemed that right after engaging with this pill furnace, a flame figure appeared to assess me.

Then the sect mission changed.

The Soul Demons were deployed.

I was trapped within this pill room.

Then, the problem must lie with the alchemy.

Shen Ye watched the pill furnace, timing the formulas perfectly, taking various materials and adding them at just the right time.

Alchemy…

Why would alchemy change the situation?

No.

It was the pill furnace.

His heart tightened, and he began to suspect.

Perhaps the secret of the Nine Palaces Bagua Dan Furnace hadn’t been well preserved but had been leaked.

Someone knew this secret.

So, the moment I approached this pill furnace, I immediately caught the attention of the higher-ups.

They began to test me.

Not just probing—

Perhaps they were waiting for me to open the secret compartment on the pill furnace.

Once I did that, my identity would be exposed on the spot.

From another perspective—

The sect wouldn’t allow me to leave for the Indefinite Layered Universe!

Because once I left, they would be unable to surveil my every move!

Right.

Although I am currently considered “a pillar pushing the sect’s progress,” if I were related to the Heaven Connecting Technique, the situation would be completely different.

So they were waiting—

Waiting to see what I would do!

Once the entire situation was clear, Shen Ye felt a chill in his heart.

He no longer thought about the secret compartment of the pill furnace.

After all.

If they already knew about the secret compartment, then whatever was in there must have been removed by now.

Shen Ye’s hands continually shifted through spells, drawing the furnace’s flames to refine the elixir liquid.

——Let’s continue alchemy!

The only thing to do now was to prove I was truly focused on alchemy!

Combined with my established brash persona.

If I could prove I just wanted to use the best pill furnace, then the suspicion would be cleared.
