Chapter 1361 Genius and Double System 62
Chapter 1361 Genius and Double System 62
"The entire sect has been investigated, and nothing unusual has been found."
“All the disciples have been checked, and no traces of demons were found on them.”
"Sect Master, something's wrong with the image stone at the mountain gate. A servant disciple rushed towards the gate, looking very anxious." Someone said.
Without hesitation, Chu Qingxuan immediately arranged for someone to go outside and find that handyman disciple.
Now that the other party has escaped, it will be very difficult to catch them. Hopefully, that handyman disciple can still survive.
At this moment, Ji Wujiu had regained his ability to move.
Wen Nanfeng is still unconscious; his injuries are too severe, and it's unknown when he will wake up.
Chu Qingxuan was in charge of arranging matters within the sect, but he was more concerned about his junior disciple, so he immediately sent a message to Azhen.
Upon seeing Ji Wujiu's message, Alang wasn't surprised at all. Knowing that a demon had possessed Wen Nanfeng to plot against him, Alang had her own suspicions. Since transmigrating here, she had discovered that Yin Yu had done similar things several times; the other party must have had many reasons to plot against Ji Wujiu.
This time, she learned from Ji Wujiu that Yin Yu's purpose was to destroy the strongest force of the Tianji Sect.
This is probably a prelude to attacking the cultivation world in the future.
This challenge event presents the perfect opportunity to strike.
They ambushed younger disciples and plotted against powerful figures in the cultivation world.
No matter how many people can be assassinated, one assassination is one less.
A-Zhu had some guesses about these things and had made some preparations.
Just as Azhen finished exchanging messages with Ji Wujiu, a commotion broke out in a corner of the challenge arena. Looking up, she saw a group of people rushing over. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Ling Fang was among them, looking rather disheveled.
The people next to Ling Fang were those who had been eliminated in the challenge and left the barbican.
"We were ambushed by demons, but luckily we encountered a demon-slaying team, so I'm alright." Ling Fang paused here, after all, she had powerful defensive magic treasures, so escaping shouldn't be a problem, but it's uncertain for others.
Whether by coincidence or luck, the demon-slaying team quickly discovered that they had been ambushed and swiftly joined in, killing or driving away the demons to prevent any further incidents before they returned to the barbican.
After escorting them back to the barbican, the demon-slaying team turned and left.
When the powerful figures from various sects in the challenge tournament learned of this, their eyes were filled with shock. Initially, they had some doubts about the mysterious person Chu Feifei had mentioned. However, everyone knew the ruthlessness of the demon race, and everyone was afraid of something going wrong, so they made arrangements according to the mysterious person's instructions.
Unexpectedly, the demon race actually launched a large-scale sneak attack on the cultivation world.
They then learned that the peak master of the Heavenly Pole Sect's Sword Peak had been ambushed. They quickly sent a message to inquire about the sect's situation. Only after learning that their sect was safe and sound did they breathe a sigh of relief. They then truthfully reported the news and were truly at ease.
A-Zhuang wasn't surprised to learn that the other sect's experts hadn't been ambushed, as such a thing hadn't happened in the first place.
After all, major sects have very strict entry and exit rules, and not all demons can easily sneak in.
If the demon race had the capability to carry out large-scale assassinations against powerful figures in the cultivation world, they wouldn't hide away to do evil; they would simply launch a direct attack.
That guy named Yin Yu is definitely not an ordinary demon.
The ambush on the disciples of the challenge tournament was probably a plan by the demons.
The plot against Ji Wujiu might not have been part of the actual plan; it could have been a coincidence, or it could have been part of Yin Yu's own plan.
At this moment, Yin Yu had already returned to the cave where he was hiding.
The guards, seeing him, looked surprised and quickly went to help him up: "Your Highness, what happened to you?"
Yin Yu's face was terribly gloomy. If he could, he really wanted to shout, "Does the Heavenly Pole Sect's defensive magic treasures not cost spirit stones?"
It's understandable that Mo Wuchen would have some powerful magical artifacts, given that he's a skilled weapon refiner and the other party's master is Feng Xiu. Yun Zhen also has Feng Xiu as her master, so it's reasonable for Mo Wuchen, as her senior brother, to give her some life-saving magical artifacts.
How could Ji Wujiu, a sword cultivator, possess such a powerful magic weapon?
If it weren't for his strength, he would probably have been defeated by the Heavenly Pole Sect today.
He originally thought that since he had used Wen Nanfeng's identity, it would be easy to assassinate Ji Wujiu. He would take advantage of the chaos outside to kill Ji Wujiu, stir up the waters even more, and weaken the power of the Tianji Sect.
What he thought was a casual gesture turned out to be a pipe dream, failing to harm Ji Wujiu in the slightest and wasting Wen Nanfeng's excellent identity.
Returning to his senses, Yin Yu noticed his subordinate's pale face, as if he wanted to say something. Sensing something was wrong, he asked, "What happened?"
"Your Highness, our plan has failed. I don't know why, but many more demon-slaying teams have appeared over there, preventing us from killing anyone as planned. At most, we could only seriously injure them before the demon-slaying teams arrived, and we lost quite a few people."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yu flew into a rage, swatting the person in front of him away and yelling, "Useless! You're all useless! You failed at something so simple!"
"Your Highness... I suspect there was a leak, otherwise they wouldn't be so on guard, as if they anticipated what we were going to do." The person who was knocked away clutched his chest and continued speaking, thankfully calming Yin Yu down.
"Could it be them? Are they afraid that my successful plan will steal the limelight and threaten their position?"
"Are they idiots? Our failure will only serve as a warning to the cultivation world, making it very difficult for them to succeed in carrying out similar plans again in the future. In the short term, it is almost impossible for us to do anything to the cultivation world again."
"So, Your Highness, when will you report this matter to the Demon King?"
Yin Yu closed his eyes briefly: "I will report to my father in a moment."
Soon after, Yin Yu contacted the Demon King, saying that someone had leaked his plan, causing the people in the cultivation world to be on guard and the plan to fail.
If someone hadn't leaked the information, not a single person in the cultivation world would have survived.
"Father, someone is definitely up to no good. I hope you will investigate thoroughly. I'm afraid we won't be able to take any further action in the short term."
As for his plot against Ji Wujiu, he wasn't stupid, so of course he didn't mention it. It wasn't part of his plan anyway; he originally intended to inform his father only after it succeeded.
There's no need to say anything more now.
I'll definitely get scolded if I say it.
"I will find the fool who leaked the information." After a long while, the Demon King's voice came, but his tone was still relatively calm. "You stay there for now. We still have a pawn in the cultivation world. When necessary, you will cooperate with them."
"What is the identity of this chess piece?" Yin Yu asked.
"I don't know either. It will appear when it's time. You don't need to worry about it. They'll come looking for you when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yu was surprised but dared not ask any more questions.
This sounds like the Demon Clan's biggest plan; no wonder Father wasn't angry at all earlier.
While healing his wounds, Yin Yu pondered what to do next.
Wen Nanfeng's old identity is no longer valid; he needs to find a new one.
When he had recovered enough from his injuries, he changed his appearance and prepared to go to Wengcheng to find Lin Ya. He rushed there without paying attention to anything else, and only learned about Lin Ya's situation when he arrived at Wengcheng.
Standing on the street, listening to the discussions of the crowd, Yin Yu remained expressionless, lost in thought.
"Do you think Lin Ya is really colluding with the demons?"
"Her contract is very strange. Even if it has nothing to do with the demon race, it's not a good thing."
"Regardless, Lin Ya can't harm anyone now; she's been sent back to the Heavenly Pole Sect for interrogation." (End of Chapter)
