Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry to figure anything out, but instead focused on consolidating his strength.
The weather was scorching today; the sun blazed fiercely in the sky, and the air was thick with heat. However, the plants on the ground remained lush and vibrant, seemingly unaffected by the intense heat.
Qin Chuan's Void Realm was very stable, but for some reason, he had a feeling that something was about to happen.
His pet had been released to observe everything around it. After all, the Five Elements had helped him a great deal, so now that he knew some things, he wanted to see if he could help them. He
had previously determined that if the strength of the Bright Moon Palace was too far behind that of the Flame Sun Sect, then it would be impossible to bridge the gap, and there would be no hope of recovery.
However, Qin Chuan's abilities were truly unique. As long as the gap wasn't too vast, even if it was a whole major realm difference, Qin Chuan felt he could try to make up for it.
This was the principle; after all, Qin Chuan's amplification and weakening abilities, combined with his powerful formations and the unpredictable and magical beasts, meant that his overall strength could very well influence a crucial battle.
"Are you troubled?" Yu Qing asked softly, noticing Qin Chuan's restless state.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "I don't know why, but I have a feeling something's going to happen today."
He then smiled, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman beside him. The sun blazed fiercely, yet she remained beautiful, serene and pure.
Seeing her calmed him, and his earlier unease vanished.
He was ready to face whatever came his way. Although he wasn't the strongest now, as a War God, he feared no one.
As for the War God realm, Qin Chuan dared not and did not want to speculate. It was impossible to fathom; that realm was truly inconceivable, carrying the word "god," and the change in strength was earth-shattering.
Today was an exchange competition for the Bright Moon Palace, but not an external one; it was an exchange between the inner and outer cities of the Bright Moon Palace.
It wasn't a major event, and many people were indifferent. Only those who had increased their strength and wanted to spar gathered here.
The competition was very casual. Two elders were there to maintain order, but they didn't interfere much; as long as no one was killed, it was fine.
Qin Chuan wasn't interested either. He just had a strange feeling today, a sense that something was going to happen, but these kinds of intuitions are the least convincing.
Qin Chuan also felt he had been careless, because the Yan Yang Sect seemed much stronger than the Ming Yue Palace on the surface. If something were really going to happen, they would definitely destroy the Ming Yue Palace openly and honestly, and wouldn't normally stoop to using any underhanded tactics.
As for the Yan Yang Sect having spies within the Ming Yue Palace, the Yan Yang Sect certainly had informants
within the Ming Yue Palace as well. The question was how far these spies could infiltrate. For example, was the Yan Yang Sect's informant within the Ming Yue Palace an outer or inner city disciple, or even a master or elder?
That depended on their abilities. If they reached the core, then naturally there would be no secrets left.
Investigating spies and informants was extremely difficult. Some were obtained indirectly, and some were even double agents, depending on who offered the higher reward—a Yan Yang Sect informant who was also an informant for the Ming Yue Palace.
However, this was even more difficult.
The most important skill for this was disguise.
Qin Chuan overheard the voice of a traitor—or rather, through his demonic beast.
The Yan Yang Sect's inside man was ready, the medicine was prepared, and the Yan Yang Sect members were on their way in about two hours…
This was the information Qin Chuan had received. He even knew the name of the medicine! The Dragon Baby was undeniably powerful. The Dragon
Baby's abilities were immense; its divine dragon bloodline suppressed even those far superior in cultivation. Therefore, in stealth and attack, the Dragon Baby's terror far surpassed Qin Chuan's.
This was an unimaginable trump card for Qin Chuan. With his weakening and amplifying abilities combined with the Dragon Baby, he could almost easily sweep through the Void Realm.
Having received this intelligence, Qin Chuan knew he couldn't wait any longer; time was of the essence.
A storm was brewing!
