Chapter 96 There Must Be a Traitor

"Senior Sister Chen, do other fellow disciples' spiritual fields also have this kind of golden beetle?" Shi Yue took the jade slip and asked casually.

"That's not the case. As far as I know, the spiritual fields of the outer disciples are the ones that are plagued by insects. The spiritual fields of the inner disciples are attached with formations. I haven't heard of golden beetles appearing in the inner sect, at least, Uncle Murong's spiritual fields don't have any. I just came back from Uncle Murong." Chen Xing'er shook her head and said this after a moment of hesitation. She paused for a moment and then said, "But the timing of the appearance of the golden beetles is indeed a bit strange. They suddenly appeared without any signs beforehand, making it hard to guard against. Qingyuan Peak, Huangluo Peak, Bailu Peak, Changyuan Peak and Huoyang Peak were the most severely affected. Many spiritual plants planted by fellow disciples were eaten up by golden beetles."

Shi Yue nodded after hearing this. He then remembered something and asked, "Senior Sister Chen, which five places did you say were the most severely affected?"

"Qingyuan Peak, Huangluo Peak, Bailu Peak, Changyuan Peak and Huoyang Peak, what happened?" Chen Xing'er blinked and asked curiously.

"My residence is in Qingyuan Peak." Shi Yue said with a wry smile.

"Well, how about you go back and kill the golden beetles in your spiritual field first? I'm almost done here." Chen Xing'er frowned and suggested.

"Forget it! Anyway, I'm planting the cheapest spiritual grains, and they're still seedlings. Even if they're eaten up by the golden beetles, I can just sprinkle some more seeds." Shi Yue's face was moved when he heard this, but he thought about it carefully and shook his head to refuse.

To be honest, Shi Yue was too lazy to go back to Qingyuan Peak to rain on the spiritual grains. The spiritual grains planted in his residence would take a whole year to mature, and at most they could be sold for more than a hundred spiritual stones. Now he makes more than a hundred spiritual stones a month in the Shendan Palace.

"That's so embarrassing, how about this! I still have some spiritual beans and spiritual corn seeds in my hand, so I'll give them to Junior Brother Shi!" Chen Xing'er felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and said this after a little thought.

After that, she took out a blue leather bag from her sleeve and handed it to Shi Yue.

In response, Shi Yue was not polite and accepted the leather bag.

Next, Shi Yue talked to Chen Xing'er about cultivation. Chen Xing'er's cultivation was higher than Shi Yue's. Chen Xing'er answered some of Shi Yue's confusions one by one.

After a cup of tea, hundreds of soul-eating bees flew out of the spiritual field and flew back to the spiritual beast bag on Shi Yue's waist.

"Junior Brother Shi, here are ten spiritual stones, just as your reward for insect removal! Don't think it's too little." Chen Xing'er took out ten spiritual stones and handed them to Shi Yue.

"No need, Senior Sister Chen, you answered so many questions for me, forget about the reward, next time!" Shi Yue shook his head and politely refused.

"Okay! Next time then." Chen Xing'er nodded. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "By the way, Junior Brother Shi, if you are not busy, go to Senior Sister Qian's residence later! She has a lot of golden beetles there too."

"No problem, I'll go after I kill the golden beetles at my residence." Shi Yue agreed without hesitation.

After saying that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and the Red Moon Sword flew out of it, hovering a few feet above the ground.

Shi Yue's figure flashed, jumped up, and with one hand he pinched a seal, and the Red Moon Sword carried him to the sky.

······

In the ancestral hall, the headmaster Zhou Tongtian sat in the first seat, and on both sides of him sat four Jindan stage cultivators.

"Senior Brother, what happened again? Do you have to call us?" An old man in a red robe said with a frown.

"Since I called you here, Junior Brother Song, it must be something serious. In the past two days, a golden beetle suddenly appeared in the spiritual fields of many, no, more than 90% of the outer disciples of our sect. This beetle is very ferocious and likes to eat spiritual plants. Because of the sudden appearance of this beetle, many spiritual plants planted by the outer disciples were eaten up by this golden beetle." Zhou Tongtian said solemnly.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just a demon insect? Our sect is so big, and many disciples have raised spiritual insects. Let them kill insects with insects." A short and fat old man with a white face and no beard said indifferently.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you just came back from traveling outside and don't know the specific situation. This golden beetle is very ferocious. Ordinary spiritual insects can't do anything to them. Only a few spiritual insects such as soul-eating bees, soul-eating insects, and insect-eating ants can kill this golden beetle. In just two days, this kind of golden beetle appeared in the spiritual fields of the outer disciples of our sect. It's too coincidental to say it's a coincidence!" Zhou Tongtian said lightly.

"Master, do you mean that this sudden appearance of golden beetles was deliberately created by someone?" An old man in gray raised his eyebrows and said after a moment's hesitation.

"It's really strange that the insect plague broke out not long after the blackening disease passed." A middle-aged woman with ordinary facial features frowned and said.

"Master, have you found out who is behind this?" The short and fat old man raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Not yet, but the blackening disease and the insect plague should be caused by the same group of people. I don't need to say much about the severity of the blackening disease. The junior brothers and sisters present here all know it. As for the insect plague, if these golden beetles really eat the spiritual plants planted by the outer disciples, it will affect the normal operation of our sect. After all, many auxiliary medicines for elixirs are provided by the outer disciples. If the spiritual medicines planted by the outer disciples are reduced, it will affect the number of elixirs sold by our sect. We must kill these golden beetles as soon as possible." Zhou Tongtian shook his head and said word by word. He then remembered something and continued: "Now we can conclude that , someone has set his sights on our Taixu Sect. Junior Brother Zhou, you are responsible for finding out the spies from other sects lurking in our sect. The golden beetles appeared in the spiritual fields of so many outer disciples at the same time. This kind of thing cannot be done by outsiders. There must be a traitor. Junior Brother Zhou, you are responsible for finding out the traitor and see if you can get something out of him. As for Junior Brother Song and Junior Sister Huang, you go to the Shendan Hall to take charge and strengthen the guard. Since the other party dares to tamper with the output of spiritual medicine in our sect, they may not be afraid to do something in the Shendan Hall. The Shendan Hall is the most important place in our sect, and there must be no mistakes there. "

After hearing this, the four red-robed old men agreed.

“By the way, Master Brother, how do you plan to deal with this insect plague? We must kill the golden beetles quickly. Among the eighteen peaks of the outer sect, Qingyuan Peak, Huangluo Peak, Bailu Peak, Changyuan Peak and Huoyang Peak are the most severely affected areas. If it is delayed, I am afraid that the other thirteen peaks will follow in the footsteps of these five peaks.” The gray-robed old man thought for a moment and asked.
