"Traitors... are people like Du Shan. Originally martial arts practitioners, they turned to the enemy camp for their own small gains, and are despised by everyone."

Bai Yu Zhenjun understood and was able to apply what he learned.

"There wasn't just one traitor; there were three of them in total."

Now that Du Shan has confessed to his accomplices, it is only natural that the other two should be arrested.

"How did you get in touch? Could you arrange to meet the other two now?"

Yes, yes!

The other two are Zhang Ruojun from Puxi College and Liu Xianji from Lingnan College. We usually arrange to meet in Puling City, which is in the middle of the three colleges. We light incense in Puling City, and they will come to meet us; this is our agreed-upon code.

Because of his pain, Du Shan confessed everything.

##

The three of them took Du Shan and headed straight for Puling City.

Following Du Shan's advice, they found the tallest restaurant in Puling City.

Where is the fragrance of a thousand miles?

"I asked coldly," Bai Yu Zhenjun inquired.

"I've stored it in the restaurant. Senior, just tell the manager, and someone will light the incense." Du Shan, pale with pain and with drooping eyelids, said to himself.

As Du Shan spoke, Jia Xitong stared intently at him, then suddenly asked, "Senior Bai Yu, is his cooperation a sign of some kind of conspiracy?"

Jia Xitong also felt that she might be being paranoid, but the other person just inexplicably gave her this feeling.

"Possibly."

Bai Yu Zhenjun nodded.

It makes perfect sense that Du Shan deliberately brought them here and then attempted to ambush them.

However, "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Whoever comes is a traitor and collaborator among martial arts practitioners.

"Have the hotel light the jasmine flowers, everyone be careful."

Bai Yu Zhenjun reminded the two of this.

On the other side, Jia Xitong used a communication talisman to call for help.

"Hey, Eleventh Senior Brother? Have you finished things at your academy yet? If you have, come over quickly. I'm in Puling City, which is between Huanglong Academy, Puxi Academy, and Lingnan Academy."

"Hey, Nineteenth Senior Brother? Can you bring the Iron Egg Flower to me now... yeah, come quick!"

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Hu, we've got some work to do..."

"Hey, Dr. Li..."

She really has so many people she can contact that even Master Baiyu was almost speechless.

Not only did Bai Yuzhenjun fall silent, but Du Shan, who was standing next to him, had veins bulging, whether from pain or something else.

On the other side

On the roof of the tavern.

A wisp of smoke from the Thousand-Mile Fragrance rose slowly, neither gathering nor dispersing, ascending straight up and spreading for tens or even hundreds of miles. Upon seeing this smoke, the demonic cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they all rushed towards Puling City.

Niu Niu stood outside the window, dutifully keeping watch and on guard.

Suddenly, a long black arrow pierced the sky and shot towards him. Niu Chuanchuan dodged to the side, the arrow piercing a wooden pillar as thick as a bowl, its black feathers trembling.

All three people inside the room looked in the direction from which the long arrow had been shot.

However, at that very moment, a large number of ordinary soldiers from the city rushed over and surrounded the entire tavern.

The ordinary soldiers drew their longswords and pointed them at the tavern, ordering the hundreds or thousands of soldiers around them to raise their arrows.

Arrows with ignited arrowheads shot towards them from all directions. They rained down like a dense volley, but were blocked in mid-air by Bai Yu Zhenjun's spiritual power. With a flick of his sleeve, the long arrows fell to the ground.

Why are ordinary people joining in the fun?

He struck the mortal general off his horse with a single palm strike, saying, "The elders of Dingtian Academy are here to subdue the demonic cultivators. Why aren't you leaving?"

The mortal general was visibly taken aback upon hearing Bai Yu Zhenjun's words. "Immortal, I apologize. I was sent by the king to guard the city, and I was unaware that Your Majesty had misunderstood. The responsibility lies with me, please do not blame others."

After saying that, he led his soldiers away in a sorry state.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would surely think it was a misunderstanding.

However, that's not the case!

The first arrow was not even in the same league as the arrows that followed; they were not even in the same concept.

Bai Yu Zhenjun released his divine sense and used his spiritual power to probe the direction from which the long arrow had come. He suddenly discovered a demonic aura, which then quickly disappeared from that spot.

Found it!

"You stay here and guard, I'll go after them!"

After Bai Yu Zhenjun finished speaking, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

Watching Bai Yuzhenjun's departing figure, Niu Chuanchuan took out his weapon. "Should I go help him?"

Niu Chuanchuan has spent the last few days with Bai Yuzhenjun and has found him to be a rather nice person. Although he can't compare to the Dean, his impression of him is better than that of most people.

Niu Niu is very loyal to his family and friends, and his first thought is whether or not to help them.

"No need, we'll guard Dushan. Be careful someone doesn't try to lure us away from the mountain."

Since Jia Xitong suspected that Du Shan's surrender was feigned, she naturally wouldn't let him out of her sight. This man was the key to their breakthrough in finding the group of demonic cultivators who had infiltrated the martial arts realm.

Just as she finished speaking, a gust of wind swept in from behind.

Jia Xitong turned around abruptly, but the wooden table behind her was easily sliced ​​in half as if it were a cake.

Sure enough, there were still people.

She snapped back to her senses and attacked the attacker from behind.

These were none other than Zhang Ruojun and Liu Xianji, the two people Du Shan had mentioned. Both were peak Martial Grandmaster cultivators, and both had now fallen into demonic possession; they were going to get away with this from Jia Xitong.

As soon as they started fighting, both of them were at a disadvantage.

However, immediately afterward, a dozen or so other martial arts practitioners who had also fallen into demonic possession arrived from various places almost simultaneously.

The cigarette that Du Shan lit was indeed a cry for help, a signal of an impending siege.

The second arrow was also a diversionary tactic, but...

Jia Xitong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile reminiscent of a crooked dragon king.

"Run!"

Du Shan struggled to his feet and tried to signal to his companions who had traveled so far to rescue him. Immediately afterward, Niu Chuanchuan, who was standing nearby, kicked him in the knee, sending him crashing to the ground. The pain nearly made him faint.

Seeing their sworn brother suffer, the newly minted demonic cultivators were enraged. "Bastards, your death is nigh!"

"Fools, your time to die has come! Say goodbye to your good brothers, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

After saying this, Jia Xitong let out a wild "hehehe" laugh.

This scene stunned the group of martial arts practitioners who had transformed into demonic cultivators. For a moment, they couldn't tell who was righteous and who was evil.

"Fellow Daoists, come with me to rescue Du Shan!"

The leading cultivator shouted orders from the crowd, and a dozen demonic cultivators instantly scattered around Jia Xitong, forming an encirclement.

However, just as they were preparing to outnumber the enemy, they were suddenly surrounded by dozens of martial arts groups.

Oh no, if we include Jia Xitong, this group of demonic cultivators is now being attacked from both sides!

Even though he could have won the fight himself, he insisted on calling for reinforcements.

The four-way communication melody summoned a vast army.

Niu Chuanchuan, watching Jia Xitong's outrageous antics above, suddenly sensed something was wrong—

She only invited four people?!
