"According to the plan, everything should be ready on Gu Wanglan's side."

"However, it's almost daybreak, and the blood moon is setting. He probably won't make it for the best sacrifice time today."

"It will take about two hours for Chen Jianxin to find his way to the back mountain following the Nine-Color Deer Compass route. Considering Chen Jianxin's hidden potential for outbursts, it will take Gu Wanglan at least an hour to capture him alive, and he'll also need to lead Chen Jianxin deep into the secret realm in the back mountain.

Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle might alert the sect elders..."

Jinyue analyzed calmly, two possibilities floating in her mind.

Either Gu Wanglan doesn't care about the benefits of the sacrifice and plans to kill Chen Jianxin first to silence him, but sacrificing during the day without the enhancement of the blood moon, he probably won't be able to possess Chen Jianxin's innate sword dao holy body.

Or, to maximize the benefits of the sacrifice, Gu Wanglan will capture Chen Jianxin first, then plan to wait until the blood moon rises at night to sacrifice him and possess Chen Jianxin's sword dao holy body.

"Based on my long-term observation of Gu Wanglan, he will definitely choose the latter!"

"After all, Gu Wanglan joined the Full Moon Sect to sacrifice and possess the sword dao holy body!"

"Now, if he were to sacrifice Chen Jianxin during the day for the sake of caution, wasting the sword dao holy body, what would be the point of Gu Wanglan's long-planned scheme?"

Thinking of this, Jinyue couldn't help but give a cold laugh, her previously tense mood also relaxing a bit.

"Fortunately, the immortal ship flew slowly and didn't reach Wuji Peak tonight. Otherwise, if Gu Wanglan had performed the sacrifice tonight, I wouldn't have had much time to prepare!"

"Now it's good. While there's still time, I'll go to Ranmo Peak first to lay the groundwork..."

"When Gu Wanglan starts the sacrifice tonight, I'll secretly alert Yuyan and guide her to the back mountains of Wuji Sect to rescue Chen Jianxin!"

...

…

-In the game, Yunjin, who knew the most about Snow Village intelligence, arrived at Wuji Sect first. But she didn't act rashly, planning to wait for Chen Jianxin to go to the back mountain together. However, when Chen Jianxin and the other disciples arrived at Wuji Sect by immortal ship later, everyone was tired.

After some discussion, they decided to go home and sleep, planning to explore the back mountain the next evening...-

-Although Yunjin was anxious, she considered everyone's feelings and decided to return to the women's dormitory to sleep first.-

-But Yunjin tossed and turned, always hearing the pitiful deer cries from the back mountain when she closed her eyes. Finally, not wanting to disturb the other disciples, Yunjin went alone with the Nine-Color Compass to explore the back mountain of Wuji Sect...-

-Later, Yunjin was captured by Gu Wanglan and kept for sacrifice along with the Nine-Color Deer.-

-That night, Chen Jianxin was woken up by Jinyue, who said she woke up to find Yunjin missing. Chen Jianxin hurriedly went to the women's dormitory to look for Yunjin, but only found a letter on her pillow-

-Chen Jianxin rushed to the back mountain of Wuji Sect in a panic, then witnessed the deaths of the Nine-Color Deer and Yunjin, and finally engaged in battle with Gu Wanglan...-

Sitting on the back of the Nine-Color Deer, Yino gazed into the distance, mentally reviewing the game plot.

-In this life, Yunjin didn't return to Wuji Sect, and the Nine-Color Deer didn't die... So, the first one guided by Jinyue to investigate the back mountain must be Chen Jianxin.-

-And based on my understanding of the game's story, when Chen Jianxin arrives at Wuji Sect this morning, whether he goes to the back mountain or not, Gu Wanglan will definitely capture him alive first, imprison him in the dungeon, and then wait until the blood moon rises at night to kill him!.

At that time, when the sacrifice begins in the back mountain, Yuyan will probably arrive within half an hour, just in time to save Chen Jianxin when he's on the brink of death-

Thinking of this, Yino's brows furrowed slightly, immediately feeling a headache.

In the game, there was a detail he never understood: the protagonist didn't receive Yuyan's jade pendant like Yino did, but Yuyan still appeared in time when the protagonist was near death. In his previous life playing the game, Yino didn't pay attention to this detail, after all, it's normal for the protagonist to be saved, otherwise if he really died, what would be the point of playing the game?

But now that he's truly reborn into the main storyline of fallen immortal, Yino deeply feels that Yuyan is a plot bug that shouldn't have appeared.

-In other words...-

-If I want to have room for maneuver tonight, I still need to find a way to divert Yuyan, otherwise if she goes too early, Chen Jianxin will be saved!-

-Tsk, but the key is that I still don't understand how Yuyan, who was far away at Ranmo Peak in the game, knew about the battle breaking out in the back mountain? Who told her?-

The more Yino thought about it, the more his head hurt, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

But in this brief moment of confusion, the ahoge girl behind him was dozing off, leaning on his back with her arms wrapped around Yino's waist.

"Yunjin?"

"Mmm?" The girl murmured with her eyes closed, still in a dream.

"There's something I want to ask of you tonight," Yino said softly, thinking of his plan.

"Do you want me to wash your clothes again?"

The girl hadn't slept well last night and was still drowsy, so she responded in a daze.

Yino looked back at her and gently held her small hand around his waist: "It's something more important than washing clothes, and I can only entrust this to you, Yunjin!"

"Hmm... what?"

Suddenly having her hand held, Yunjin sat up and rubbed her eyes, her consciousness slowly awakening from her dream.

Yino said earnestly:

"Yunjin, when we get to Wuji Sect later, I have something to do on my own. At that time, I hope you can go to Ranmo Peak and deliver a message to Senior Sister Yuyan for me--"

"Eh...? What, what do you mean?"

Yino's tone was gentle but serious. Yunjin felt an inexplicable sense of life-and-death parting, and her large eyes became even clearer.

"What's wrong with Young Master? Is there something you must ask Yunjin to tell Senior Sister?"

"Yes, I can only rely on you--"

Yino smiled, took a deep breath, and was silent for a moment.

Then, as if he thought of something, he smiled coldly: "Like this, you go and tell Senior Sister -- Yino discovered a mysterious clue in North Luo Snow Village, he followed the clue to investigate, but accidentally infiltrated the headquarters of a cult."

"Then, in order to investigate the truth of the cult's plan, Yino decided to continue undercover and not return to Wuji Sect for now."

"However, Senior Sister doesn't need to worry! Yino has a life-saving jade pendant with him. If he really encounters danger, or discovers the truth of the cult's plot, he will actively trigger the pendant, and Senior Sister will know where he's trapped!"

…

At the back of Wuji Peak, in the secret realm.

"Senior Gu? Why are you here?"

Chen Jianxin stood at the entrance of a huge temple ruin, looking at the gray-haired man who had been waiting in the temple for a long time, suddenly falling into confusion.

He carefully stepped into the mountain temple, but as the mist dispersed layer by layer, the strange altar covered in blood-colored vines in the center of the temple came into view.

Gu Wanglan was sitting cross-legged in the center of the altar, his cold eyes staring intriguingly at the little fatty who had walked into the trap.

"This... this is... why..."

Chen Jianxin's legs went weak at the strange scene in the temple.

The altar with scarlet vines involuntarily awakened the tragic memory of his clan being wiped out in one night deep in his mind.

Instantly, Chen Jianxin's head was splitting with pain, fear and anger mixed in his chest, causing Chen Jianxin to fall to his knees with a "thud".

Clatter...

The Nine-Color Compass fell to the ground.

After a long silence, Chen Jianxin couldn't help but support himself with both hands on the ground and look up.

He saw that the pointer of the Nine-Color Compass was still locked firmly on what was ahead.

Chen Jianxin looked up again, but at the end of the pointer, he saw a tall man with gray hair wearing a black Taoist robe.

"Senior Brother..."

"Why is the pointer of the Nine-Color Compass pointing at you..."

Chen Jianxin stared with wide eyes.

But before he could finish speaking, the compass was crushed under Gu Wanglan's foot.

"HeheheHAhahaha"

Gu Wanglan crouched down, admiring the young man's desperate expression, finally unable to control his evil laughter.

His pupils reflected a black and red glow, coupled with the gloomy mist of the mountain temple that never saw daylight, immediately making Chen Jianxin tremble with fear from head to toe.

"Senior Brother, what... what is this?"

"Fool, you really don't remember?"

Gu Wanglan narrowed his evil eyes, reached out with two fingers, and gently poked between the young man's brows--

"That night, you clearly saw at the cave entrance, it was a gray-haired man who sacrificed your entire village with his own hands, didn't you?"
