Having said that, several days have passed since they discovered the cave, so perhaps Wang Suyang has already retrieved the token.
There were disciples of the Changling Sect guarding outside the courtyard gate, secretly monitoring their every move.
Yi Wu took the wine flask and poured some wine, then offered a suggestion, "We don't necessarily need to find definitive evidence. If he truly has something to hide, he'll reveal it."
Everyone exchanged glances and understood what she meant.
Jun Xuan took out a shadow-storing bead from his bosom and handed it to Yi Wu, "This is a shadow-storing bead. Thank you, Qin Mo."
Among all the people present, Qin Mo has the best skills, and he is not from the immortal clan or the immortal sect. Even if something unexpected happens while spying, it will not affect the relationship between the immortal clan and the Changling Sect.
Yiwu looked at the bead, took it and put it away without refusing.
No one discussed the matter anymore and just chatted about it.
Yiwu did not participate, but ate quietly and thought about her own things.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone put down their chopsticks. Jun Xuan stood up and winked at Ling Hua, who nodded and stood up as well.
"The matter of the Blood Demon Vine is still unresolved, and there are many suspicious points. We must investigate further." Ling Hua pointed to a few people and instructed, "Liu Yu, follow me to the Fox Demon Cave. Brother Jian, take the others to explore the mountain. The rest of you stay to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"yes."
Everyone agreed and each performed their duties.
Yiwu turned around and went back to the house, transformed herself into an inconspicuous brown moth, flew out of the window, flapped her wings and landed on the stone pillar of the courtyard gate.
Coincidentally, Ling Hua and his group had just walked out of the courtyard.
Liu Yu fell behind, looked up at the little moth, and reminded it gently: "Be careful."
The little moth flapped its wings slowly, as if in response.
"War God Linghua, please stay."
The Changling Sect disciple guarding the gate stepped forward and stood in front of them. "You are all injured. Where are you going?"
Ling Hua pointed down the mountain and said bluntly, "Let's go investigate that fox cave at the foot of the mountain and see if we can find any clues about the blood demon vine."
The two disciples looked at each other and wanted to persuade them again, but Ling Hua led his men around them and strode away.
Regardless, Ling Hua was the Immortal God of War, and their status was low, so they didn't dare to stop him. After a subtle wink, one of them followed him, while the other quickly ran away.
The small moth on the stone pillar flapped its wings and flew up, following the running disciple all the way to the study of the leader of Changling Sect.
"Master, War God Ling Hua and his men are heading towards the fox cave at the foot of the mountain. We can't stop them. What should we do now?"
Hearing the sound, Yiwu flew into the house through the window, quietly landed behind a screen, and turned into a human form.
She took out the shadow bead, used her magic power to drive it, and flew to a place where she could reflect the human shadow.
Behind the desk sat an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a green robe with auspicious clouds embroidered on the hem. He was Wang Suyang, the leader of the Changling Sect.
He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and calmly said, "Why panic? Let them do what they want. No matter what they find out, we will know nothing about it. Without evidence, they can't do anything to us. You can't just frame me with empty words."
"The token I gave to the demon tribe hasn't been found yet. What if they..."
The disciple was halfway through his words when Wang Suyang glared at him, "Idiot, it's just a token, can't it be stolen by the demons? You have a pig brain."
"Collaborating with the demon tribe is a grave crime, but as long as they can't find evidence, what can they do to me if we deny it to death?"
A strange noise suddenly came from behind the screen, making people nervous.
"Who is it?" Wang Suyang instantly raised his hand and swung out a stream of spiritual energy, smashing the screen into pieces and revealing a white figure behind it.
Yi Wu used one hand to block the wood chips, and with the other hand she recalled the Shadow-Storing Pearl and held it loosely in her palm.
The disciple recognized the man and inevitably panicked. "Master, I recognize him. He's the one who just came up the mountain with the immortals. It's all over. They must have suspected us a long time ago and deliberately tricked us. What should we do now, Master?"
Wang Suyang concentrated on checking and found no one outside the house, so he waved his hand and said, "You go guard outside."
"Yes." The disciple hurried out, closed the door and stood guard at the door.
The room was completely silent. Across half the study, Wang Suyang carefully examined the intruder and asked tentatively, "This young man doesn't look like an immortal. How could he have lost his way and come into my study?"
Yi Wu chuckled, brushed the screen remnants off her clothes, and walked to an open, flat area. She pinched the Shadow Pearl between two fingers and waved it in mid-air. "Stop pretending! The Shadow Pearl has recorded everything you said just now. Do you still want to quibble?"
The beads are crystal clear, with a faint blue light flickering inside, illuminating the fingertips.
Wang Suyang's face darkened, his mind racing. "I don't understand what you're saying. I'm sure there's some misunderstanding."
He stared straight at the bead in Yi Wu's hand, slowly walked out from behind the desk, approached step by step, and secretly accumulated strength.
Yi Wu spread out her palms and released the image of the Shadow Bead. A shadow appeared in the air. It was none other than Master Wang Suyang and his disciple. Their conversation just now could be clearly heard from inside.
"Master, the God of War Linghua..."
…
"Collaborating with the demon tribe is a grave crime, but as long as they can't find evidence, what can they do to me if we deny it to death?"
Once the solid evidence was delivered to the immortals, it would be enough to convict Wang Suyang, and he finally began to panic.
On second thought, not many people know about this matter right now. As long as I get rid of the person in front of me, I can pretend that this incident never happened.
It happened in a flash. Wang Suyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He raised his hand and several poisonous needles flew out from his sleeve, shooting towards Yi Wu's neck. At the same time, he flew to grab the Shadow Pearl.
"You don't know your own limitations." Yi Wu quickly waved her sleeves to sweep away the poison needles, and clenched her five fingers to grasp the Shadow-Storing Pearl.
The next moment, the man came close to her, and she raised her leg and kicked him hard in the abdomen. Wang Suyang flew backwards, hit the desk, and rolled to the ground.
Yi Wu dodged over, stepped on the man's chest, and drew her sword, pointing it at his throat. "Sect Master Wang, I'm kindly giving you a chance to make amends. I urge you not to be ungrateful."
However, in just one encounter, Wang Suyang was trampled under the feet of Yi Wu. The strength gap between the two was so huge that he was simply unable to resist.
Blood flowed from the corner of Wang Suyang's mouth, and he gasped for breath. "What do you mean?"
Yi Wu tucked the Shadow Pearl into her arms and spoke slowly, "You now have two choices. First, make amends for your crime and confess the truth about what the Demon King promised you and where the other Blood Demon Vines are. I will report this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and spare your life. Second, refuse to confess and be executed on the spot."
"Anyway, I already have the evidence, so even if I kill you now, it's only right."
Originally, according to Jun Xuan, they only needed to catch Wang Suyang's flaws, expose the demon clan's conspiracy to the Heavenly Monarch, and then punish Wang Suyang. However, he was a man who wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin. According to the immortal clan's way of doing things, it would inevitably waste a lot of time. It would be better to force him and extract some information.
Wang Suyang's eyes rolled around, not quite believing it. "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"
"Do you have a choice?" Yi Wu's sword tip fell, cutting off his white beard and accurately hitting his Adam's apple.
The sword was so sharp that it would easily pierce his throat. It was obvious that Yi Wu was not trying to scare him.
Wang Suyang felt a sharp pain and was so scared that he broke out in a sweat and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
In all his life, this was the first time he had encountered such a strong and unreasonable person, who was determined to kill him without any room for negotiation. If he didn't agree to the other party's conditions, he would probably be killed on the spot.
He has been planning for so long and is about to become an immortal. He can't just die like this.
Wang Suyang took a deep breath, raised his hand and gently lifted the sword, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Yi Wu loosened her feet, took a few steps back, picked a chair nearby and sat down. With a flip of her wrist, the sword disappeared quietly.
Wang Suyang turned over and got up from the ground, taking his time to tidy up his clothes and appearance, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his mind worked quickly, choosing what to say.
"The Demon King didn't promise me any benefits. I was actually coerced by him and had no choice but to do this." He glanced at Yi Wu, who clearly didn't believe him, and could only add, "He said that when he dominates Cloud Peak, my Changling Sect will definitely have a place there."
Yi Wu tapped the armrest with her fingertips, asking the question in her mind: "Why would the Demon King suddenly want to dominate Cloud Summit?"
"You are still too young, otherwise you would have figured out the key easily." Wang Suyang sneered, his gray beard trembling. "Cloud Peak is the residence of the immortals. Whoever holds it will rule the world. The immortals have sat on that seat, and now the demons have too. Naturally, the monsters want to sit there too."
"From ancient times to the present, power has always been the most important thing that everyone fights for."
He took a few steps to the side, lifted his clothes, sat down opposite Yi Wu, and returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor.
Yiwu raised her chin, motioning him to continue.
Wang Suyang leaned back in his chair and spoke again: "Since you have found the blood demon vine in the demon cave at the foot of the mountain, you should know that the demon tribe is using the blood demon vine to refine demon soldiers."
"It is still unknown when Yin Xue started to refine demon soldiers, but I can tell you that the number of demon soldiers under his command is definitely far beyond your imagination."
"As for the other blood demon vines, I don't know their exact locations..."
Seeing Yi Wu narrow her eyes, he continued, "But perhaps it has something to do with the frequent natural and man-made disasters in the human world."
Yi Wu thought about it and realized that in recent years, there have been countless droughts, floods, plagues, etc. in various countries, and they are indeed more frequent than before. Could it be that the demons are actually behind this?
If this is true, as long as we go to the place where the disaster occurred, we should be able to find the blood demon vine.
"Since Sect Master Wang has spoken frankly, I will return to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and spare your life." Yi Wu stood up and took two steps forward. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned back to ask, "Why is the fox demon Feiqin involved with the palace? Do you know the reason?"
Wang Suyang pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to shake his head, he remembered, "The emperor had a favorite concubine in the palace, named Concubine Yuan. One year, she fell ill with a serious illness, her skin ulcerated, and she nearly fell out of favor. Feiqin gave her a secret beauty elixir, which helped her regain her beauty, making it even more beautiful than before. That's how they met."
"Later, Feiqin regularly presented Concubine Yuan with beauty pills, ensuring her eternal youth and maintaining the emperor's favor. Concubine Yuan, in turn, helped cover up her crimes, and they collaborated."
Being able to maintain eternal youth must be extraordinary, no wonder they are wanted.
Yi Wu frowned, a flicker of disgust in her eyes, but it disappeared in a moment. She nodded and walked away, "Thank you."
As the door opened, the sound of a sword being unsheathed could be heard from behind. A flash of cold light passed by, and Wang Suyang, holding the longsword, stabbed it straight at Yi Wu's heart.
