Facing such an opponent, one could never relax, so Lin Fang did not rush to make a move, but rather leisurely began his practice of cultivation in the Demon Realm.

Until today, Lin Fang finally felt that the trouble had passed, so he deliberately released a bait to see the situation. As expected, the Divine Exorcist Great Saint had become complacent.

Actually, it wasn’t the Divine Exorcist Great Saint’s fault for being complacent. In the Three Realms, Lin Fang was a rare individual. Without the Demon Realm and Lin Fang’s special escape techniques, normal spies would have been exposed long ago.

Now, the Divine Exorcist Great Saint was more preoccupied with the Dragon Clan and simply had no time to pay attention to the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

This also allowed Lin Fang to go all out and plan about Mr. Mo.

White Dragon also laughed, "Although the Divine Exorcist Great Saint is very secretive in his actions, he is still limited by the circumstances. He would never imagine someone like you could also be a spy. With a small world as your foundation, even hiding in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years would pose no problem at all."

"Actually, it’s also the external conflicts that have drawn most of his attention; otherwise, given his character, he wouldn’t give up so easily," Lin Fang also said with a light laugh.

For the success of this mission, he had seriously studied the Divine Exorcist Great Saint, and the more he understood, the more he feared him.

He was known as an exorcist, yet to this day nobody knew his methods.

Hidden among the Demon Clan for many years, striking with a 100% success rate, and resisting temptations without showing any signs, he almost caused the Demon Clan’s plans to be completely destroyed. If not for Lin Fang’s appearance, the Demon Clan might have been unable to recover, lacking the confidence to contend with the Heavenly Court.

However, such is the way of the world. Hence, as the I Ching says, ’Of the symbolic elements, fifty; but using only 49.’

The Demon Clan seized a slim chance, which ironically left the Heavenly Court in a difficult position, rendering the Divine Exorcist Great Saint’s efforts fruitless.

"Haha, this is the trend of fate. The Heavenly Court has oppressed the Three Realms for many years, becoming the target of public criticism. Now they are caught in a dilemma, exactly as the saying goes, ’What is too rigid will not last long.’

The two of them, in the Demon Realm, enjoyed their tea and conversation, feeling quite happy.

Little did they know that within the Heavenly Court, chaos was gradually emerging.

This was because the Heavenly Court was originally forcefully established by the Three Pure Ones. Though the Jade Emperor had managed it meticulously for years, factions had long been established internally.

Since the Three Pure Ones transcended, there had been no shortage of voices wanting to break away from the Heavenly Court.

In the beginning, the Jade Emperor could still suppress these movements with his great power, but now, facing an increasingly tense war, he seemed somewhat helpless.

One day, an immortal officer in the Heavenly Court finished his roll call and returned home only to see his master waiting there.

"Disciple pays respect to Master!" the immortal officer said with great respect.

This master was highly skilled in mana, but because he disliked the rules of the Heavenly Court, he had always lived in seclusion deep in the mountains, focusing on his cultivation, rarely concerning himself with worldly affairs. Today, for some unknown reason, he had come to his disciple’s cave mansion.

"Chang’er, you have been an official in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years, do you still remember Luoxi Mountain?"

The elderly man had the appearance of a youth, dressed in a simple Daoist robe, with a horsetail whisk resting on his arm, his voice thunderous.

He Haochang was stirred by these words, involuntarily recalling Luoxi Mountain mentioned by his master, where he had practiced cultivation as a child along with his fellow disciples under their master.

Now, as years had hurried by, he was no longer a child, yet the memories of Luoxi Mountain still echoed from time to time, those were the most beautiful memories of his life.

Although he held a position in the Heavenly Court, if asked about his feelings, Luoxi Mountain was the place that haunted his soul.

Thus, with a hint of sigh, he said, "Disciple has never forgotten!"

Upon hearing these words, the old man’s expression softened.

He then slowly said, "Back then, I accepted the seven of you as brothers, passing on my mantle. My heart was greatly relieved, believing that my Dao had successors."

"Who would have thought that an edict from the Heavenly Court would require you to serve as officials, I unwilling for you to be constrained, thus spoke out in refusal. Little did I know it would provoke the Heavenly soldiers to oppress us, intending to punish disloyalty."

"In the end, helplessly, several of you entered the Heavenly Court, only your eldest brother, due to my mistake, fell into the Immortal Transformation Pond and has since been controlled by others."

He Haochang fell silent upon hearing these words. His master’s words awakened memories long sealed in the depth of his heart. How could he forget this incident.

The eldest brother traded his own freedom so that the rest of them would not have to enter the Immortal Transformation Pond, which allowed him to have his freedom today.

Therefore, each time he passed the Immortal Transformation Pond, he felt a pang of heartache, but to avoid the jealousy of the Heavenly Court, he had long sealed these memories away, which were now awakened by his master.

"Eldest brother..." He Haochang murmured.

In his memories, the eldest brother was always the one with a gentle smile, looking after his younger brothers as the senior brother. With the master often in seclusive cultivation, the eldest brother passed on the teachings, and under his watch, they all grew up successfully.

If on that day the master and eldest brother had been reckless and fled the encirclement, they could have freely roamed after that event. Regrettably, because they were captured, the eldest brother couldn’t bear it and thus gave himself up willingly.

However, when he saw the eldest brother later, he found that his personality had greatly changed, devoid of his initial gentleness and restraint, instead plagued by desires. He later learned that although one does not die in the Immortal Transformation Pond, the soul is eroded over and over, eventually becoming mired in desire.

As such, even if his own brother had a chance for reincarnation, because of these reasons, it was nearly impossible for him to tread the path of cultivation again.

The suppressed emotions in his heart erupted at that moment, and He Haochang’s face turned somewhat fierce.

"It seems you have remembered!" the elder nodded and said.

Reminiscence flickered in his eyes; that was his most promising disciple, the one to inherit his mantle. Had it not been for this incident, he would have made a name for himself in the Three Realms by now.

"Yes, master I have remembered. How could I forget such deeply engraved hatred?" He Haochang said through clenched teeth.

Every time he thought of the current state of the eldest brother, it felt as if his soul was being bitten by a venomous snake.

"Indeed, who could forget? But the power of the Heavenly Court is too great; we can only avoid their edge for now, watching Ming’s soul trapped in that Immortal Transformation Pond, forever unable to transcend."

Even though he had cultivated for so many years, even though his mental level and cultivation level were high, he still couldn’t suppress the hatred in his heart.

"I originally thought that we had no hope of revenge in this life, so I sealed these memories, hoping you wouldn’t be burdened by hatred. I alone was enough to bear it. However, the current situation in the Heavenly Court has shown me an opportunity," said the elder, pausing for a moment before continuing, "After all, there is an unwillingness in my heart!"

Unwillingness, indeed, who would be willing? This deeply ingrained hatred tormented his soul at all times, but the elder was unwilling to forget.

This had already become his obsession. If he couldn’t see through it, he might one day succumb to demonic possession.
