Chapter 13: The Secret Crisis
When the seven woke up, they heard the sound of training. After walking out of the door, what they saw was a nominal disciple who was being trained, and the training officer was Xu Xiaojie, the original nominal disciple of Wendaofeng.
"Senior brother, are you awake? The other senior brothers and sisters have all left yesterday. ”
"It's all gone......"
"By the way, Jin Lao said that if you wake up, let me inform you to go to him, it seems that there is something to explain. ”
"Okay, we got it. ”
After that, they walked towards Jin Lao's side.
When they were on the road, everyone heard the movement of disciple training in many places, and there was a big gap between them and the cold Dao Peak at that time.
"Ask Daofeng is also lively. ”
"Yes, there are more nominal disciples, there are more people, and it will be lively. ”
"I don't think we saw a few people when we were here, but I didn't expect there to be so many people now. ”
"I didn't expect that there would be more and more ordinary disciples who could resist the training of Dao Peak. ”
"I guess it's a bit less difficult, but our training difficulty is not something that can be easily persevered. ”
Everyone walked and talked, and soon came to the courtyard of Jin Lao. Jin Lao was sitting here drinking tea, and there were still a few people in his courtyard who had been punished.
"Jin Lao, you called us here, do you have something to say?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to meet you. A few of you, who have been gone for hundreds of years, don't come back to see us. ”
"Well, we had a little accident and couldn't leave, but now it's a little more idle. ”
"I'm free, that's right, I have something to do here...... I heard that you have set up a mercenary group in the north, and you have done a good job, so let's see if this matter can be solved. ”
"What's the matter?"
After Feng Yan finished asking, Jin Lao waved his hand, and a barrier appeared, isolating them from the outside world.
"It's a matter of the demons. ”
"Demons?"
"Well, we've been secretly tracking down the demons all these years, and this side has basically been determined, so it's all left to solve. Although there is a desolate alliance in the north, after all, it is a business, and it is not suitable. Then I happened to hear about your mercenary group, like you helped solve it. ”
"Is the list basically finalized?"
"This ...... Because it is not possible to intervene on a large scale, it is still a bit troublesome, and at the moment only a few people can be identified, and others are just a little skeptical.
But here's the trouble, some of the people on that list are now powerful among the big forces, and the spies can't continue to investigate, so they can't determine their identities.
And among these people, there is a sect called Hongtu Sect that needs your attention, we found that they seem to have a lot of dealings with demons, and it is likely that they have reached some kind of deal with demons.
It's just that the sect is stronger and it's not easy to deal with. ”
"If it's really the Hongtu Sect, then it's not a problem, there are many people in the north who dislike that sect. But if it weren't for it, it would be troublesome, and that sect was basically a group of people who would repay themselves, and generally no one wanted to mess with them.
As for the other forces, you can try.
But Jin Lao, isn't it good to spread information through the network of the Wasteland? We don't have as many networks as the Wasteland's side. ”
"There are many networks in the Wild Alliance, but there is no way to determine whether the other party is credible, which is the most difficult thing for us to do. It's more convenient for you to determine the credibility of the forces through the locals. ”
"Okay, let's try it when we get back. Those who have already been identified...... What to do?"
"If you can solve it yourself, you'd better solve it yourself, and leave the rest to those who can. But you have to be careful that other people are hiding the results, and that's a big problem. ”
"Got it. ”
After that, Jin Lao explained some precautions when carrying out this matter, and after all the explanations were completed, they returned to the north.
After returning to the Fengyue Mercenary Group, the Wind Warriors first told Cang Ming about it, and after Cang Ming learned of this result, he didn't have any special reaction, only said, "I know, I'll help when the time comes." ”
Then, they told the Lord of the Reflecting Snow Pavilion about the demons. Yingxue Pavilion was plagued by demonic qi like that, and Feng Yan felt that it should be impossible for them to collude with the demons.
After hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Yingxue Pavilion was obviously a little excited, but in the end he held back, and promised to help, and at the same time he would find a way to find out some more demons who had mixed into the monks.
After that, Feng Yan also wanted to tell the Snow Eagle Chamber of Commerce, the Red Ling Sect and the Xue family about this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, and finally just told Jun Yan and Xue Li about it.
And tell them that it is best not to announce the news first in the Chiling Sect, and only the old man and the Snow Father and Snow Mother in the Xue family can know, and it is better for others not to tell them.
The two of them also understand the importance of this information, and before they can be sure, even they have to be suspicious, so naturally they can't easily disclose it.
However, the northern realm does not have time to do this now, and the disaster caused by the demon tide will take some time to recover, and everyone will need some time to adjust their state, which we all know at the time that we have not yet taken action.
And these days, the only big movement is Cangming, he disappears every day for a while, but what to do, he doesn't say a word.
Because Cang Ming was usually like this, everyone didn't think it was strange, until he put the list in front of Feng Ying, and there were many circles and crosses drawn on it.
"I've made sure of all the people on it, it's okay to draw circles, it's okay to draw forks, but it's all been cleaned up by me, and I can't be sure that the other people have insufficient evidence. ”
At this time, Feng Yan was already stupid.
"Your old man's movements are really fast enough, we are just about to start investigating, and you will solve it, but you are not afraid of startling the snake by solving so many problems at once?"
"You still don't worry about the old man's errands, if it will scare the old man, I won't do it, don't worry, they are all in the most suitable state for them.
As for the Hongtu Sect, it's hard to check. It's mainly those people over there, obviously they have nothing to do with you, they have to pretend to be related to themselves, so I've already made several mistakes. It's up to you over there, and I really can't do anything about those people. ”
In the days that followed, news of the fall of those people did come out of the north, but as Cang Ming said, they all fell in the most suitable way for themselves, and no one doubted the cause of their deaths.
In this regard, Feng Yan also has to admire, it is worthy of being an old fritter for many years, it is amazing.
After making sure that there was no big turmoil, the Wind Death group who had completed the hunting plan were ready to solve their goal this time.
In the past few days, Yingxue Pavilion has identified a demon who has cultivated as a first-order spirit through his own channels, and today he will pass by here.
The sect where the demon man is located is a small sect called Ruixue Sect, which is a sect named after snow. And this person, who called himself Ruixue, received great courtesy in the sect.
Not long ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in the Ruixue Sect, that is, every once in a while, two disciples of the Ruixue Sect would fall.
At first, they thought that there was no problem, and it was the most normal thing for a cultivator to fall in the cultivation realm, but after a long time, they found out that there was a problem. If it is normal to fall, why is it a man and a woman every time, and why is the time interval the same?
This situation attracted the attention of the high-level members of the sect, but no matter how much they investigated, they could not find a trace.
At this time, this person named Ruixue appeared, and he quickly caught the culprit, which was a monk infected by demonic energy, and those fallen monks were actually killed by him. As for why, he doesn't know.
However, since Rui Xue's arrival, no one in the Rui Xue Sect has disappeared, and the Rui Xue Sect also felt that this was their lucky star, so they accepted him and treated him politely.
Originally, the matter was over here, but once, when a vegetable seller who was doing business with them near the Ruixue Sect went to sell vegetables, he found that those disciples were a little abnormal, and they seemed to lack energy.
Soon after, the Ruixue Sect severed contact with the outside world.
The vegetable seller didn't think it was any strange, after all, the other party was an immortal, and it was normal not to do business with him.
As for why it was found here, it was the disciple of Yingxue Pavilion who accidentally discovered this matter, and then felt that the time when this Ruixue appeared was too coincidental, so he was ready to check it.
As a result, before he was ready to investigate, he came across this Ruixue, and at that moment he felt an inhuman aura. But fortunately, he was clever and didn't make a fuss at the time, and even restrained his breath and pretended to know nothing and passed by Ruixue.
After returning to Yingxue Pavilion, he immediately reported the incident. The Pavilion Master of Yingxue Pavilion felt that this was very likely, so he checked it, and then found something strange.
That is, the relationship between the Ruixue Sect and mortals is usually very good, and most of the disciples in the sect have not been able to open the valley, so it is impossible to take the initiative to cut off business with the vegetable sellers, unless there is a problem within the sect.
After knowing this, the Pavilion Master of Yingxue Pavilion informed them of the situation, and they touched this side in the name of hunting demonic beasts, ready to explore the truth.
If so, then take the opportunity to clean up, if they don't say that they came here to find prey. After all, the news that they are hunting demonic beasts now is basically known to such a large area in the central part of the northern realm.
They squatted on this side, and soon found their target, which was a young man.
Like intelligence, he likes to go it alone, and he does exude an inhuman aura.
Since the exercises in this world are so strange, it is not surprising that some monks exude an inhuman aura. With this alone, it was impossible to determine whether the other party was a demon or not, so everyone prepared to track it down.
When tracking, only Yemo and Moon Shadow only tracked at close range, and using assassination techniques, it was difficult for them to be discovered by the other party. And for the sake of insurance, they also brought Xiao Zi, and as soon as the breath shield was opened, it was equivalent to playing missing under the nose of the other party, and the effect was very good.
Others took advantage of Huang and Ice's air superiority to track them from a distance, and when they found evidence, they would rush over immediately.
However, they followed it for a while, but only came to the conclusion that there were no problems with this person.
Yes, he just came out very normally, picked some spirit grass, found some game and went back, and there didn't seem to be anything abnormal.
Generally, at this point, everyone will give up tracking, after all, it would be a little offensive to touch the other sect. As a result, everyone is ready to give up tracking.
But at this time, Yueli had a proposal.
"I think we need to check this Ruixue Sect. ”
"This isn't quite appropriate, isn't it? Besides, it's just a few of us, it's too easy to find out if you look up a sect. ”
"I also know it's not suitable, but haven't you noticed it, for so long, we have found that there is only one disciple of the Ruixue Sect who is active outside, and you look over there...... In broad daylight, the mountain gate is closed, and there must be ghosts inside. ”
Yueli's words woke everyone up, and they really didn't pay attention to this. They followed this man all the way but didn't see him communicate with other disciples at all, which was a very abnormal thing in a force.
But again, it's easy to find out when investigating a sect, if it is, then they will definitely be surprised. And if that person controlled the sect's great array, they wouldn't be able to take it at all.
"Will you startle the snake, and when he is gone, won't you know if you give it a try?"
"How do you try?"
"Of course it'......"
So, one day when Rui Xue left, Yue Li used Huang to throw a gadget above Rui Xue Sect, which was a piece of gunpowder, and the power was not too big and not too small.
If this thing causes some commotion within the Ruixue Sect after the explosion, then it is basically certain that there is nothing wrong within the Ruixue Sect. But if there's no movement, that's a big problem.
And after the test, there was a little movement in the Ruixue Sect, but no disciples came out to check the situation, but Ruixue, who had already gone out, hurriedly returned.
Now everyone has determined the situation: there is a big problem with the Ruixue Sect, and the movements in the sect are in the monitoring of that Ruixue's retardation, so it can be said that this Ruixue is problematic, and actions can be taken against him.
Because they have never dealt with demons, everyone is carefully studying tactics and finally uses Yemo as the main combat force. After all, it is more reliable to use the night ink of demonic energy in the face of demons.
The Wind Death is mainly used as a tactical weapon, responsible for intercepting the enemy with a strong posture, and Xue Ji is used to contain or suppress depending on the situation.
Moon Shadow still waited for an opportunity as a murderous aura, and the rest of the people acted as the most long-range suppressive means.
Of course, this is just a basic course of action, nothing out of the ordinary just acts, and if something unexpected happens, they just use one word: improvisation.
After deciding on the tactics, they just waited for Ruixue to show up. But it may be that this Ruixue didn't come out for a few days, and they all solved the nearby demonic beasts that could be solved, but he still didn't come out.
However, the hard work paid off, and their patient wait was not in vain after all.
That day, perhaps because he felt that the crisis was over, Rui Xue came out, but what he didn't expect was that they were more patient than him.
