Celestial being

Yuan Ming immediately stood up, found a pen and paper from the side room, and quickly wrote down the name of the mountain where the formation broke out at the last moment in the last attempt according to his memory.

Evergreen Peak, Tianxia Peak, Wudao Peak and Qinglan Peak.

Counting Shen Lingyun's Lingxing Peak, among the twenty-one peaks of Chaotian Sect, at least five peaks are known to have betrayed.

Yuan Ming stared at the words on the paper, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't understand why there were so many traitors in the Chaotian Sect, which was in the midst of its prosperity.

Especially for the two peaks of Tianxia and Wudao, according to the introduction left by Master Shura, the peak masters of these two peaks are both in the late stage of pill formation. Their status in the sect can be said to be lower than two people and above ten thousand people. Internal cultivation resources are also tilted towards these two peaks, so there is no reason to betray the sect.

What's more, the purpose of their rebellion was not even to seize power, but to destroy the family. For them, betrayal was completely thankless and only left a bad name in the world.

Just as Yuan Ming was puzzled, Shen Peng's voice sounded again outside the house.

Yuan Ming sighed, pushed open the door with some helplessness, exchanged a few polite words with him, and asked about the arrival time of the Wu Lei Sect's viewing team. After that, he put aside his physical discomfort and returned to the room.

After he collected himself, he took another piece of rice paper and began to deduce how to break the situation.

According to what he heard and saw during his last attempt, there were three fundamental reasons for the collapse of the Chaotian Sect. One was traitors, the other was foreign aid, and the third was Nascent Soul.

The solutions to the second and third points are the same. Yuan Ming must race against time to solve the traitor problem before the arrival of the Five Thunder Sect and the Beiming Alliance and force the old man in gray to show up. By then, the Chaotian Sect After the Nascent Soul Ancestor kills him two against one, all problems should be solved.

Shen Peng just told Yuan Ming that the Wulei Sect's viewing team will arrive in four days, but considering that they may have ambushed people secretly, this time may have to be advanced by one day.

Since the Wulei Sect and the Chaotian Sect both belong to the sects of the Zhao Kingdom, there are often frictions between the two sects. Therefore, although the Wulei Sect is close to each other, the viewing team will always arrive the day before the sect establishment ceremony to avoid missing their own sect. of majesty.

Now, the number of traitors Yuan Ming needs to deal with has changed from one pill formation to five. There may be more foundation building and Qi refining disciples among them. It is impossible to expect Changchun Temple to help him. The only way is, You still have to gain the trust of the sect.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ming suddenly smiled bitterly.

In the past, Shen Lingyun alone had to risk his own life to expose the identity of the traitor, but now there are four more powerful peak masters in the Core Formation stage.

With his current status within the sect, no matter how much evidence they present, they will probably suppress him easily.

Yuan Ming recalled his plan against Shen Lingyun, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and realized that he had actually been in a misunderstanding all along, and recalled a clue that he had ignored.

Soon, Yuan Ming once again visited his traitorous master in the cave at the top of the mountain, but this time, he did not mention anything about the nightmare.

"Master, the grand ceremony is coming soon, but we at Lingxing Peak have not prepared any special entertainment. The Deacon Hall has sent people to the disciples to urge them several times. Look at this..." Yuan Ming asked cautiously.

Although Shen Lingyun is a soul cultivator, he does not use his soul cultivation ability from time to time in order not to be exposed. What's more, the strength of Yuan Ming's soul is no less than his. Although he cannot use any means, he can still do it unless he is being probed. Noticed in advance.

Therefore, he is not worried that his lies will be seen through by Shen Ling using soul cultivation methods.

As expected, after hearing Yuan Ming's suggestion, Shen Lingyun didn't notice anything wrong, and just said casually: "Just tell them that our peak was founded not long ago and there is a shortage of manpower. We will not participate in this ceremony for the time being. We will talk about it next time." Bar."

"That's what the disciple told them, but they still kept asking me to ask for your opinion. Do you think you can give the disciple some proof to prove to them that this is what you meant?" Yuan Ming said.

Shen Lingyun pondered for a moment, nodded, raised his right hand, and a token flew into Yuan Ming's hand.

"Just take this and go. In addition, before the ceremony starts, I need to retreat for a period of time. Unless there are other peak masters looking for me, you can handle all the chores as me." Shen Lingyun warned.

Yuan Ming took the token, bowed respectfully, and then slowly exited the cave.

Afterwards, he rushed to the deacon hall without delay and found the lay disciple in charge who was transferred to be the guard of the warehouse.

"Senior brother, do you still remember the disciple who entered the intelligence warehouse with this token last time?" Yuan Ming took out the token and shook it.

"This...I remember that his eyes were very narrow..."

The warehouse guard recalled the details of the man's appearance. While Yuan Ming was listening, he took out a jade slip and sketched the man's portrait with his spiritual mind.

"Do you think it's him?" Yuan Ming handed the jade slip with the portrait to the guard.

"That's right, that's the person. Gee, brother, your painting skills are really exquisite! Just listening to what I said, you can draw them exactly the same." When the guard saw the portrait, he was full of praise.

Yuan Ming smiled, put away the jade slips, and contacted Shen Peng without stopping.

"Senior Brother Shen, I want you to help me find someone..."

…

Half a day later, Xiujie Peak.

Tao Wenlong, a secular disciple, finished his day's work. When he returned to his residence, he did not take the main road. Instead, he chose a beautiful mountain trail and slowly enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides.

Xiujie Peak ranks at the bottom among the twenty-one peaks of the Chaotian Sect. When the task was assigned, Tao Wenlong still complained a little. He felt that his ability was not bad, but he was assigned to such a ghost place and could not make any great achievements at all. .

But after living here for a long time, he has become somewhat nostalgic for the scenery here.

Not long ago, his superiors contacted him and sent him to clean up the key information accidentally obtained by the Chaotian Sect. He thought it was a big task, but he didn't expect that the Chaotian Sect didn't know the criticality of that information and just stored it as general information. Relying on the token prepared by his superiors, he completed the task easily and gained a lot of credit.

At that time, he realized that when he was an undercover agent, he had to pick some inconspicuous places. If he lurked in the top peaks, although he had the opportunity to make great achievements, he might have to worry about whether he would be exposed every day. It is impossible to receive such an easy task.

Tao Wenlong looked at the scenery around him and the towering ancient trees, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

Such beautiful scenery that has been preserved for thousands of years will soon be burned up by the flames of war. I wonder how many ancient trees and flowers will be left here after the war, and how many will remain standing?

Tao Wenlong shook his head and sighed for a while, then slowly walked out of the path and arrived in front of the residence. As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly heard a sharp shout from behind him.

"Tao Wenlong, something happened to you, come with us!"

Tao Wenlong's body froze, cold sweat dripped from his forehead for a moment, and thoughts were racing in his mind. After a moment, he suppressed his shock and fear, turned around, squeezed out a smile, and said with cupped hands:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, have these senior brothers found the wrong person? I usually keep to myself and haven't done anything bad, right?"

Behind him, several foundation-building monks stood side by side. The leader was a handsome young man. Because of the token given by his superiors, Tao Wenlong recognized him and knew that he was Zhen Luo, the only direct disciple of Lingxing Peak. He felt in his heart The call is not good.

On the other side, Yuan Ming looked at the jade slip in his hand, confirmed that he was the person described by the warehouse guard, and smiled coldly: "Oh, you can't be wrong, it's you we are looking for. As for what we did, I think you should know it." ? Tell me, who ordered you to do this, and which force are you from? The Five Thunder Sect, or the Beiming San Alliance? "

Hearing this, the people around Yuan Ming seemed a little confused, but when he heard Yuan Ming utter the words "Bei Ming San Alliance", Tao Wenlong immediately trembled slightly, with faint beads of sweat on his forehead, and did not notice those people at all. strange.

"Haha, Senior Brother Zhen, what are you talking about? Junior Brother, why can't I understand you?"

Tao Wenlong said, taking two steps back slightly, and then suddenly raised his hand, and a talisman was instantly punched out, and an extremely dazzling white light burst out in front of everyone.

However, Yuan Ming was well prepared. Almost at the same time when Tao Wenlong played the talisman, he turned his right hand and a square array disk fell into his palm. As he pinched the talisman, at the same time as the white light lit up, eight roots A blue light rope emerged from the ground instantly.

The white light quickly dissipated. When the other foundation-building monks opened their eyes again and saw the surrounding scene clearly, they found that Tao Wenlong was tightly entangled in eight light ropes in mid-air, roaring unwillingly.

"What are you doing? I am innocent and you are framing me!"

"No wonder Junior Brother Zhen, you made a special trip to pull us here to wait. It turned out that you prepared the formation in advance?" To Yuan Ming's right, a tall foundation-building monk wearing dark blue armor said in surprise.

"Haha, I'm just used to being prepared. I didn't expect to use it. Now it seems that the secret hidden by Tao Wenlong is deeper than I thought. I'm afraid he has committed more than just forging the peak master's order. This is the card." Yuan Ming smiled and said.

After finding out Tao Wenlong's identity, Yuan Ming immediately went to the people at the Punishment Hall, showed them Shen Lingyun's token, said that he was acting under his master's orders, and explained Tao Wenlong's crime, and then he Several foundation-building deacons from the Punishment Hall were brought over.

The person who just spoke to him was the deacon of the Punishment Hall named "Gu Zhiping".

"Yes, but Junior Brother Zhen, why did you just ask him whether he was from the Five Thunder Sect or the Beiming San Alliance? Why do you feel like you knew it in advance?" Shen Peng asked curiously on the left side of Yuan Ming.

"I just felt that the things he committed were not something that a disciple of our sect would do, so I deceived him to see if he was an undercover agent sent by other forces. Unexpectedly, I actually caught him. "Yuan Ming immediately told the reason why he had already drafted it several times.

Naturally, these words were not only meant for Shen Peng, but also for Gu Zhiping and the other disciples of the Punishment Hall. Otherwise, his behavior was indeed a bit abrupt, and if he waited until someone suspected him before giving out his reasons, he would naturally not be as casual as he is now. The effect of time exposure is good.

Shen Peng nodded repeatedly, looking at Yuan Ming with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and naturally did not continue to ask.
