I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World

306  Hidden Agenda of Ghost Moon Sect

A war is isn't necessary a bad thing, especially in such world of immortal cultivation. Due to the existence of true qi of heaven and earth, the lifespan of people extended by hundreds of years. Although the world itself if infinitely large, the population is also affected by various disasters to remain in control, be it man made or natural.

Looking at the town at far, Long Ming took a deep breath. He simply hid his face under a large conical hat as he entered.

' I already crossed the border and arrived in the Lingshu Town. In fact, It's where Ghost Moon Sect's disciples are stationed. Maybe I will get some intel here?'

However, the first piece of news he heard was about the three days of cease fire.

' What? They are declaring cease fire? You are saying that both Holy Qilin Empire and Pale Moon Kingdom are actively trying to stop the war?'

' No, This isn't right. This isn't aligning with the carnage I saw…'

Falling in the deep contemplation, he walked around the town in a low key manner. After all, the town was under strict army rule. Any suspicion would make his mission difficult.

" Have you heard? They are declaring a ceasefire!"

" I thought the discussion about the spirit mine going to be bloody. To think they are taking a peaceful approach."

" I hope the war ends. I can't even go outside the city and hunt beasts."

" Indeed, all the necessary resources have been hoarded by the army and Ghost Moon Sect disciples."

" Ugh, Don't speak of those bastards. Those low ranking ones are the worst." One of them snorted.

' Hmm, Even the common folks have no different news. Is the Pale Moon Kingdom really planning for the end of the war?'

Long Ming really felt a loss. However, his instinct told him that something was amiss. ' Fine, I know where to confirm things.'

Late in the night, the moonlight flickered between the occasional clouds in the sky.

The Town Hall is a gigantic estate, tightly guarded by the disciples of Ghost Moon Sect. However, None of them noticed a shadow fleeting by them, entering the estate without anyone's notice.

' Damn, the security is really tight.' Long Ming wore a tight black robe and hid his face behind a mask. His aura was concealed, making him merge with his surroundings.

' But now I think, It's been a while since I played as an assassin, eh?' Long Ming clicked his tongue as he thought about the fragmented memories of his past life.

Although he was still unclear about his past, Long Ming knew that he was an exceptional assassin. It was so deeply ingrained in his soul that he didn't even have to practice here. His skill came naturally as he willed.

The estate was covered with array formations. However, with Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he could easily go around them.

" Did you hear? The Young Master Shang of Fog Moon Hall is coming to lead the cease fire."

" Young Master Shang already reached the Harmonization realm before the age of thirty. He was really a rising star in the younger generation and the three young stars of Ghost Moon Sect."

" Interesting. I am really excited to see a genius like him."

Long Ming eavesdropped as he heard the inner guards of the estate talking with each other. However, as he sneaked inside, he found a ripple in the space.

' This room, Is strictly guarded by a formation. Could it be, that something important is here?'

With his curiosity piqued, Long Ming's mind started to spin, trying the sneak into the room without disrupting the array formation.

However, the moment he succeeded, Long Ming was yanked into the room.

To his horror, it was a meeting room that was currently full of people. Thankfully, the room was dark and with his Nether Dragon's aura of concealment, no one noticed him.

" Shang Qinshan shall be arriving tomorrow. So, Everyone be prepared. General Lu, you know what to do, yes?"

" I understand, Lord Dong." General Lu nodded with a solemn face.

" Lord Dong, I heard General Lu would be marching to the southwest tomorrow? Why is that?" Another person asked with a frown.

" Aren't you supposed to withdraw your army by today? The Steel Qilin Army already did so?"

" Marshal Ming, You don't need to worry about that." Lord Dong spoke coolly. " From now, Your role shall be taken by General Lu's son."

" Wait what?" Marshal Ming was stunned. " Are you removing me from my marshal duty? Lord Dong, Are you drunk or something."

" Ah, I know what you are thinking. Without the orders of Supreme Elders or the King, I can't remove you from your post." Lord Dong laughed.

" But as long as you are dead, we can easily give your pose to someone else, yes?" Marshal Ming's expression changed as he tried to get up from his seat. However, before he could move, General Lu moved, stabbing the chest of Marshal Ming with his sword.

Marshal Ming tried to resist, but strange enough, she couldn't muster her power at all.

" Bastard! You…You dare to use poison!?"

" Well, Poison makes work easy, yes?" General Lu laughed as he twisted his sword. " Well, Thanks to your sacrifice, we will finally able to move our plan forward."

" Don't worry, I will make sure to make you a martyr after the war finally rages on."

Suddenly, Lord Dong's eyes flashed as he stood up.

" Who is there!?"

Several black figures appeared from the shadows as they looked around the nook and cranny of the room.

" Lord Dong, There is nobody." One of them reported. Lord Dong frowned as a spectre floated around him.

" No! Go around and search everywhere. I want to make sure nobody was here." His words were firm.

He was confident that even an ordinary Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator would have a hard time noticing his presence. 15:17

However, despite being a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator, Lord Dong managed to sense Long Ming's flinch after he killed Marshal Ming.

Long Ming already escaped the room as he was hiding in another corner.

' Holy shit! To think that bastard detected my presence!'

He was confident that even an ordinary Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator would have a hard time noticing his presence. However, despite being a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator, Lord Dong managed to sense Long Ming's flinch after he killed Marshal Ming.

' Is it because of his demonic spiritual art? It looked like that bastard could control ghosts and spirits. That means his spiritual sense is sharper than others?'

' Anyway, This is a big discovery. To think they are plotting something so big. I need to return fast.' Long Ming's eyes glinted as he vanished from his position.

Although he didn't receive much intel afterward, Long Ming already could guess the rough plan of both the Pale Moon Kingdom and the Holy Qilin Empire.

The future he saw wasn't fake at all, And knowing that, everything was happening exactly as they should.

A day later, Long Ming was already in the Southern Fortress City. And to his pleasant surprise, he saw someone familiar.

" Princess Qin, Not going to greet your fiance?"

Jiang Wanxue flinched when she heard the familiar voice.

" If you say that one more time, I am…I am really going to…"

" Do what?" Long Ming chuckled as he crossed his arms. " If you want to fight, we have to prepare a bed first…"

" Long Ming!!!"

" Fine! Let's be serious." Long Ming sighed as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.

" Wanxue, I need your help."
