Ming Li picked up Tu Biming's cube and used his consciousness to check it. Inside the cube, he found various items. While inspecting everything, a scroll piqued his interest since it has the seal of the black spider guild. 

In the scroll, he saw several orders from the guild written neatly. The scroll seems to be from the higher ups and wasn't limited to the Mao Group.

What caught his eyes was a line saying "In one year from now, the three way war against the Crystal Leaf Sect and Golden Phoenix Order will start. No alliance has been made since each side do not agree with each other's terms. We will eliminate everyone who go against the Black Spider Guild! Prepare for war!" 

Ming Li's eyes went wide when he saw the order. He suddenly realized the many weird thing that have been happening. "So that's why the Crystal Leaf Sect seems to be mass recruiting disciples. Also the reason why the Black Spider Guild sent spies to the crystal leaf sect was exactly because of the up coming war!"

He continued to scan Tu Biming's cube and he found out something really unusual. A Golden Phoenix Badge was kept in a jade box, the Phoenix Badge gave off the same feeling as his Crystal Leaf Emblem, the medallion from the Ten Great Merchants Union and the Emblem he got from the Black Spider Guild.

After a bit of inspection, he said "I think he is probably a spy from the Golden Phoenix Order. I hope I don't get on their bad side by killing their spy. Also, I can't believe they also have their way to bypass the seal!"

Then he thought for a moment then said "Also, he recognized Sun's wave! It only mean's that Ru Gao is from the Golden Phoenix Order! However, Tu Biming did not use the sun's wave, seems like he has dedicated himself to being a spy and never learned the art."

"I need to be careful of letting anyone see Sun's wave from now on."

He then kept the emblem and scroll, and looked at the direction of the Black Spider Guild "So after a year, a major war would break out, this is a good opportunity to totally destroy the black spider guild!"

....

With his continuous killing of Black Spider Guild members, his soul ores grew exponentially, unlike his time at the crystal leaf sect, he was earning much more than he could imagine. "So criminals do earn a lot, that's why they never stop."

Ming Li nodded in satisfaction as he computed his earning from murdering members of the guild. He justified his act of killing his enemies as self preservation. So killing members of the guild and stealing from them was actually very pleasing to Ming Li, It was killing two birds with one stone.

Because of Tu Biming's actions, Ming Li became more vigilant in his missions. He lessened the killing and studied the guild more. 

Whenever his thirst for knowledge kicked in he absolutely must satisfy it. Currently he became really indulged in studying the dark aura surrounding the guild. He was a bit bothered by the aura when he first entered the guild, but because of the circumstances, he wasn't able to focus in studying it. However, with enough soul ores gathered that could last for a while, and the guild slowly being suspicious of his mass murder, he now has the time and opportunity to study the dark aura. This will also allow him to lay low for a while.

He went on a secluded location on the guild near the Gui Group then waved his hands. Suddenly, a man wearing a black robed appeared, It was none other than Dippy. He was sure that Dippy is part of the Gui group since he reacted furiously about Ming Li killing Ru Goa.

Ming Li gave Dippy an order to inquire about the black aura, so he made him walk around the guild. Just only after a few minutes, someone approached dippy and clasped his hands. "Master Gui He you have returned!"

When Ming Li saw this, his eyes went wide with disbelief. He never thought that Dippy would actually be someone from the Gui Clan itself, and seems like he has someone important. "So that's why Nutty acted that way when he saw Dippy!"

Ming Li used Dippy to enter the Gui Clan and look for some information regarding the dark aura in there. Many people greeted Dippy with respect inside the Gui Group main residence. Ming Li could not believe that the person he beat was probably from the main bloodline.

He made Dippy venture further, then a man wearing elegant clothes carrying a fan came towards Dippy. "So the rumors were true. The truant young master came back."

Ming Li had no idea who the person was, so he tried to ignore him.

"Gui Duyi stop bothering Gui He!" A feminine voice resounded from the hallway. After a while, a voluptuous figure of a young woman around 18 came out of the shadows.

"Gui Jie, I'm not bothering anyone, I'm just greeting Gui He." Gui Duyi said with a light smile.

Gui Jie did not even listen to what Gui Duyi said and quickly rushed to Gui He then pulled his arms. She pulled him towards the hallway away from Gui Jie. While staring at the two, Gui Jie only gave a cold stare and walked away.

Dippy was dragged into a room far away from their original position. The room looked luxurious and wide. Everything was neatly placed in order which made it seem more elegant.

After a few breaths upon entering the room, Gui Jie suddenly hugged Dippy tightly and kissed him. Ming Li's eyes went wide, he never thought that Dippy would have a relationship with such gorgeous woman.

"I have missed you so much." Gui Jie looked at Dippy with loving eyes as she caressed Dippy more.

On a place far away, Ming Li was stupefied and had no idea what to do. He has no experience in woman, however, it does not mean that he have never thought of it.

After a bit Gui Jie did wilder stuff as she guided Gui He's hands on her body. Ming Li's jaw dropped when the  sensation was transmitted through his consciousness. When Gui Jie slowly slid her clothes off, Ming Li doesn't know what to feel. It was his first time seeing a body of a woman, however the way he saw it made him feel really bothered.

He saw it in a way that can only be classified as peeking. Because of his pride as a man, he could no longer continue to look at the scene and just said "Dippy do your thing!". Then he closed his eyes as he removed his consciousness on Dippy's body.

He breathed ruggedly after what he saw. Without much thought, he gulped a pill to calm his mind. "This isn't such a bad development. With this, I will have a good source of information."

After waiting for an hour, he connected his consciousness to Dippy. Just when he was about to issue an order, he suddenly shouted "What the #?!+ Dippy!!! You're still not done?!!"

Ming Li immediately retracted his consciousness and breathed heavily, he was confused on what to feel with what he saw. It was a mixed feeling of pleasure and disgust.

After what happened, he waited for three hours to connect to Dippy's consciousness just to make sure. On the room Ming Li saw Gui Jie lying on Dippy's arms fully satisfied. This made Ming Li sigh in relief.

He then made Dippy ask. "So when will the war start?"

Gui Jie looked at Dippy deeply and said "How did you know about the war? You were away for a year."

"I have my ways." Dippy replied with confidence.

"I see. Since you're a member of the Gui Clan, you have the right to know. The war will start exactly eleven months from now. We have already sent commands to loyal guild members informing them to prepare for war. As you probably know, this will be a three way war between our long time enemies. I hope the Crystal Leaf Sect and Golden Phoenix Order would not go into an alliance before the war."

"Hmm, how about the power struggle in the guild?" Dippy asked

"The three groups agreed to cooperate and win the war. There have been no fights among the three groups which have involved someone from the main clans."

"That's good, So what is the plan for war?"

"I have no complete details, however it seems like the leaders are planning to stay on the guild and use our guild defenses as the main weapon for war. Our guild is also located at the center of  our two enemies, so the war would probably end up in our territory." Gui Jie explained.

Dippy was silent for a moment and said. "I wish to be alone for now."

"I know that you don't want this war to happen since you have a good relationship with the Golden Phoenix Order, however the decision came from the leaders of each group. There seems to be a power we cannot even comprehend pulling the strings. So I would like you to prepare yourself mentally."

"I understand." Dippy closed his eyes then nodded.

Gui Jie went out of the room and left Dippy alone.
