Chapter 63: Spies Can't Escape, Guarding Worry-Free

"Senior Brother Xie, since that's the case, I can only entrust this to you!"

"Previously, when the Lotus Flower Cave's people came to kill me, someone headed straight for my cave abode."

"My cave abode was newly built, how could the Lotus Flower Cave's people know about it?"

"I'm certain that there's a spy on my Carefree Mountain."

"Now that Sun Feiting is leading people to the front line to transport supplies, if something happens, we won't be able to continue pursuing them. Once the Lotus Flower Cave's people escape, there will be endless trouble!"

Xie Dayou understood the reason behind this and said, "Hall Master Chen, just give me your orders!"

Chen Qing said, "Senior Brother Xie, I want you to head to the place where Senior Brother Sun and the others set off. Be vigilant at all times and hide day and night. Don't leave and don't expose yourself!"

"If anyone heads there to investigate or goes underground to search for Senior Brother Sun's whereabouts, capture them immediately!"

"If there's any danger in a fight, I, Xu Xu, will kill them immediately!"

Xie Dayou immediately returned to his room and came out with three long swords on his back. "Don't worry, Hall Master Chen, I'll go now!"

Chen Qing waved his hand and said, "Wait!"

He took off the wine gourd that he had been carrying around for a year and handed it to Xie Dayou. "Senior Brother, go first. Be careful!"

Xie Dayou shook the wine gourd and filled it to the brim. He hung it at his waist and quickly walked away into the night.

After doing this, Chen Qing felt a little more at ease.

Arriving at the main hall at the peak of the mountain, Chen Qing found a seat and prepared to arrange the affairs of the disciples guarding the various halls.

Seeing the servant girl serving tea, Chen Qing instructed, "From today onwards, the lights in the main hall must not be extinguished. The entire Carefree Mountain must be able to see it!"

He wanted to let everyone know that there was still someone in charge of Carefree Mountain.

Hearing this, the servant girl hurriedly called for some people to light the lamps.

He leaned against the coffee table and slept for a while. The sky was gradually brightening.

Chen Qing rubbed his eyes. The sun had risen.

As he ate the food delivered by the servant girl, Chen Qing instructed, "Go, gather all the disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall who are still on the mountain!"

The servant girl hurriedly passed down the order. In a short while, more than ten disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall had gathered.

They stood stood outside the main hall and waited quietly for Chen Qing's orders.

Only Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters were qualified to enter the main hall.

Most of these disciples were not at Carefree Mountain when the war started because of the New Year festival. They had returned after hearing the news.

Chen Qing swept his gaze over them. There were a total of fifteen people, which was barely enough.

Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Chen Qing stood up and walked to the entrance of the hall. "Senior Ye and Senior Feng are currently busy with the war."

"Senior apprentice-brother Gongsun Xiu is also guarding the entrance to prevent any thieves from spying on our Carefree Mountain."

"I'm the one in charge of Mount Carefree."

Although the disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall were listening, they weren't paying much attention.

Chen Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "There are fifteen of you in total. I intend to divide you into three teams."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a commotion outside the hall.

Xie Dayou carried a bloody person in his hand as he strode towards the large hall. He threw the bloody person into the middle of the crowd, cupped his hands together towards Chen Qing and said, "Hall chief's prediction was indeed correct. I saw him come out from the cave before dawn this morning!"

"He obviously went to investigate Sun Feiting's whereabouts and wanted to inform on him!"

"I followed him and found that he was actually releasing carrier pigeons!"

Xie Dayou strode forward and knelt on one knee in front of Chen Qing. He handed over Chen Qing's wine gourd and a secret letter. "Now that he's been captured, the secret letter is here. Please examine it, Hall Master!"

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. They all looked at the bloody person on the ground.

Chen Qing took the wine gourd and the secret letter. He waved his hand for Xie Dayou to stand aside and opened the letter.

Sure enough, Sun Feiting's route was drawn inside. There were also the words' kill him quickly '.

Chen Qing handed the secret letter to a Shadow Hall disciple. "Everyone, take a look."

Everyone looked at the secret letter in their hands and passed it on. They all looked at the bloody person on the ground in shock.

"Junior apprentice-brother Wu, how could you do this!"

"Wu Yi, I know you've lost your leg and your life isn't easy, but you shouldn't have committed such a heinous crime!"

"Despicable!"

"Carefree Mountain gave birth to you and raised you, but you're actually such a heartless thing!"

"When you were injured, I even sent you medicine in vain!"

Wu Yi didn't say a word, only quietly waiting for his fate.

With witnesses and evidence present, he had no way to defend himself.

Seeing that it was about time, Chen Qing shouted, "Xie Dayou!"

Xie Dayou strode forward from the crowd. "Present!"

Chen Qing ordered, "Drag Wu Yi to the observation deck and behead him. Don't collect the corpse, let the birds eat it!"

"Any more traitors will be beheaded immediately!"

Xie Dayou dragged Wu Yi out. Not long after, a scream rang out.

Chen Qing thought that Xie Dayou knew how to do things, even letting him scream before killing him to establish his authority.

Chen Qing returned to the main hall and sat down in his seat. "Disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall, listen up!"

Hearing this, the disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall trembled, not daring to be as careless as before. They stood orderly outside the main hall, bowing and cupping their hands. "Present!"

Chen Qing ordered, "The fifteen of you will split into three teams and gather the sword cultivator disciples of Carefree Mountain at the foot of the mountain."

"One team will patrol, one team will prepare for battle, one team will rest, and three teams will rotate. No mistakes!"

"If there are enemies, report immediately!"

The disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall cupped their hands and said, "Yes!"

After that, they went off to do their own things. Chen Qing sat in the main hall and ordered the maids to arrange a seat for Xie Dayou in the courtyard outside the main hall.

He waved his hand and told Xie Dayou to write a secret letter every day, announcing that the battle at the front line was going smoothly and that he should deliver it every morning during meetings.

Xie Dayou didn't understand, but when he thought of Chen Qing's shrewd methods, he gladly did as he was told.

Now, it could be said that everything was in order.

For seven consecutive days, Chen Qing didn't leave the main hall at the top of the mountain, managing the entire Carefree Mountain in an orderly manner.

During this period, under Chen Qing's arrangements, three evil cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill and steal treasures near Carefree Mountain were taken down.

They also sent large amounts of supplies to the front lines.

The disciples of the War Hall and Shadow Hall were patrolling everywhere at all times. In addition, Chen Qing would spread good news about the frontlines every day, completely calming the hearts of the people of Mount Carefree.

On this day, Chen Qing was so tired that he was taking a nap in his chair. Suddenly, he heard a tsunami of voices coming from outside.

"Victory!"

"We won!"

"The Lotus Flower Cave has been completely destroyed. From now on, we are the masters of this place!"

"Senior Brother Sun is back! We've won!"

Chen Qing rubbed his sore legs after sitting for so long. It was finally over.

Now that he had more than twenty thousand Spirit Stones, he should go down the mountain to buy Spirit Herbs to improve his cultivation.

I was so dizzy that I forgot the timer!!!
