Several days passed, and at last an internal investigation within Penglai yielded results.
The spy was not someone Luo Yan knew, but the Daoist Companion of a patrolling cultivator, who had gathered intelligence from her husband before secretly communicating with the Demonic Path.
The Sect Leader of Xuan Du had already arranged for someone to interrogate the spy overnight. Upon learning this, Luo Yan quickly went to find Shi Liuli to inform her of the situation.
"The identity of this spy isn't really important," Shi Liuli said slowly while holding a jade slip, "The key lies in who the liaison on the Demonic Path side responsible for contacting her is."
"If the two were only in one-way contact, once the liaisons catch wind, they will immediately discard the spy, and by then it may not be possible to trace them down, and the lead will be lost here."
