Honghuang: A Suspicious Junior Brother, Yet Tongtian Says He's Too Steady

Xiao Yun becomes Tongtian's last disciple. Naturally suspicious, he lives cautiously. Facing the doomed giant ship that is the Jie Sect, he awakens the God-Tier Choice System and, from the start, reveals the future to Tongtian: [The Jie Sect will fall because there are too many moles! The Seven Attendant Immortals and all three thousand worldly guests are moles!] [By the day the Investiture of the Gods is issued, the outcome will already be decided. The secret war before then is what will determine victory or defeat.]

Tongtian is utterly shocked and promises Xiao Yun that he can manage the Jie Sect for three years and root out every mole! True to his suspicious nature, which believes that doubting everything is safer than trusting it, Xiao Yun establishes the first internal security agency in the primordial world, the [Purple Guards]. He launches a covert war during the calamity, adhering to the principle that it is better to kill the innocent than let a guilty person go. He puts his fellow disciples through hellish "loyalty tests," while a terrifying network of undercover agents spreads across every major power. His appalling strength remains hidden...

When the Investiture of the Gods is issued, the Five Sages are horrified to discover that the Jie Sect has become an incomprehensibly terrifying war machine!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yun's suspicious nature, airtight powers of deduction, extraordinary intuition, and vivid imagination become the nightmare of every cultivator in the primordial world.

Daoist Duobao: Xiao Yun, please stop deducing things! If you keep going, there'll be no one left in the Jie Sect...

Zhao Gongming: I'm innocent! Why did the Purple Guards investigate my entire family for three generations?

The Three Ladies and Seven Immortals: Junior Brother, aren't you thinking just a tiny bit too much?

Primordial Heavenly Lord: What? Eight of the Twelve Golden Immortals have been turned against us by Xiao Yun?

The Two Sages of the West: This is a wrongful accusation! We never tried to assassinate the Dao Ancestor!

Xiao Yun: Stop pretending! You were trying to overthrow the primordial world...

Sect Master Tongtian: My disciple is cautious, all right, but has he taken caution a little too far?
