Chapter 94 Who is the enemy?
"Who are you?" Jin Xuan looked at her warily.
"My name is Zhou Lingsha, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I'm here to protect you." Zhou Lingsha said expressionlessly. In front of outsiders, she was now very cold.
"You! The commander of the Imperial Guard?" Jin Xuan was surprised. He looked at the girl and thought she was at most twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as himself. He snorted and said, "How is that possible? You are only a few years old. Do you think the Imperial Guard is joking?"
Zhou Lingsha was too lazy to explain to the brat, so she walked up to Zhou Ling and said, "The emperor ordered me to protect you. There is a camp not far away, and you will be safe there."
"Hmph, just pretending to be nice. The Demon Emperor hopes that all of us righteous people will be wiped out so that he can unify the world." Gongsun Haoyun was furious. There were multiple scratches on his shoulders and arms left by the corpse puppets, and they were still bleeding.
Zhou Lingsha walked up to Gongsun Haoyun. Although she was much shorter than him, she was still very imposing. She pointed at him and sneered, "How old are you? Why don't you think before you speak? Don't you think before you speak or do anything? You just say whatever others say. Is this what a disciple of the Zhengyi sect, the leader of the righteous sect, is like?"
"What do you mean! Do you look down on us, the Zhengyi sect? Don't think that we are afraid of you just because you have a higher level of cultivation than us. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated." Gongsun Haoyun said angrily.
"I don't have time to humiliate you. Let me ask you, are you a cultivator?" Zhou Lingsha asked.
"Nonsense, there is no disciple of Zhengyi Dao who is not a cultivator." Gongsun Haoyun shouted.
"Well, then you should know that there are many illusions and misleading spells in this world. Seeing is believing, hearing is false. This saying is no longer applicable in the world of cultivators, am I right?" Zhou Lingsha said.
"Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush." Gongsun Haoyun shouted impatiently. If the other party wasn't so much more powerful than them, he wouldn't have listened.
"Let me ask you, you said that the Zhengyi Taoist master was killed by the emperor. Did you see it with your own eyes or heard about it? Who told you that? A friend or a stranger?"
As soon as Zhou Lingsha finished speaking, Gongsun Haoyun gritted his teeth and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, many people from the righteous path saw it with their own eyes at that time, and the Jinyiwei attacked disciples from various sects. That's a fact."
"Really? Then I'll ask someone to use a transformation technique or an illusion to use your appearance to go to the foot of Liangjie Mountain, break into a decent girl's bedroom at night, and do some shameful things in front of her family. Do you plead guilty?" Zhou Lingsha walked up to him and asked.
"Of course I don't admit it. I didn't do it. Why should I admit it? It's just that the evil people framed me..." Gongsun Haoyun said the last part, and soon thought of what the girl wanted to say, and said suspiciously: "You mean it was done by evil people?"
"You are so stupid. People have destroyed your sect, but you still can't figure it out. You just call them the Demon Emperor or something like that. You don't even think about who your enemy is. Tell me, do you, the righteous disciples, have any brains?" Zhou Lingsha pointed at the remaining people and shouted.
After hearing this, all these people lowered their heads. They were not stupid. On the contrary, they were smarter than ordinary people. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by Zhengyi Dao to be accepted as disciples. It was just that the attack tonight had made them so confused that they could not think too much.
The remaining disciples felt ashamed and aggrieved, and they were all poisoned by the corpse. In a panic, the remaining four of them suddenly bleed black blood and fainted.
"The corpse poison has taken effect. Hurry up and take these detoxification pills. They can temporarily suppress the toxicity. Take them to the camp. There are seniors from the demon clan there. They should have a way to control the corpse poison." Zhou Lingsha grabbed the fallen Gongsun Haoyun and poured out a green pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
We were in such a hurry just now that no one noticed that the faces of the poisoned people had turned black and blue, and we missed the best opportunity to suppress the poison.
This group of people followed Zhou Lingsha to a temporary gathering point. When the guards here saw Zhou Lingsha, they all called her "commander-in-chief". This made Jin Xuan and others believe that she was really the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei.
Seeing that many Zhengyi disciples had been brought here, everyone felt better.
Zhou Lingsha took them to General Baiyan. He was good at using poison. The poison of the corpse puppets was not too strong and it was not difficult to dissolve it. Several Zhengyi disciples had already had their corpse poison sucked out by him.
"General Baiyan, there are four more here." Zhou Lingsha opened the tent and came in and said.
"Little princess, why did you go out by yourself? You will be in danger if you run into those old demons." Baiyan knew that she was Zhou An's sister, so he didn't dare to be arrogant at all. He was as friendly as the uncle next door.
Baiyan's subordinates would never have thought that their ancestor could have such a gentle side.
Zhou Ling and others were waiting outside the tent. A fierce battle broke out on the mountain. Judging from the noise, it must be a fight between cultivators above the sixth level of innateness. Trees collapsed in large areas. Some mysterious lights flew in the air, smashing the mountain wall and dropping large pieces of boulders.
Fortunately, disciples were brought back by the Embroidered Uniform Guards one after another, and everyone calmed down after meeting each other.
Jin Xuan had been standing at the entrance of the camp. Every time a disciple was brought back and he found that it was not Monk Shi, he would become anxious and ask the Jinyiwei about the whereabouts of Monk Shi.
In the past half hour, no disciple had been brought back for a long time, and many Jinyiwei had returned without bringing anyone back, which made Jin Xuan even more anxious. Monk Shi was of similar age to him, and they had been together since childhood and were as close as brothers. In Zhengyi Dao, the person closest to him was Monk Shi, followed by Zhou Ling.
After waiting for about an hour, two streaks of light flew in the sky, and Zhou An and the Drunken Taoist appeared, with Monk Shi beside them.
Seeing him coming back, Jin Xuan rushed up to him excitedly and hugged him, then slapped him on the bald head and shouted angrily: "Why are you running around? Don't you know to meet me?"
"I've met Drunken Uncle Master a long time ago." Monk Shi covered his head in pain. This time Jin Xuan really didn't hold back. There should be a bump. He said aggrievedly.
At this time, the guard saluted, and Jin Xuan saw Zhou An and the drunk Taoist priest. Instead, he waved calmly and said, "Zhou An, thank you very much."
Zhou An smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his raised hand and said, "No big deal."
Jin Xuan looked at his palm. He raised his hand just to say hello and he felt this was very interesting.
At this time, the other disciples of Zhengyi Sect gathered around, and Zhou Ling stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zui, what's the situation with the other uncles?"
The drunk Taoist sighed and said, "They all died at the hands of this group of old demons. They were all from the Jitian Sect. Everyone needs to work harder in the future and improve their cultivation before they can rebuild the Zhengyi Sect."
Everyone lowered their heads, clenched their teeth, and their eyes were red. Most of them were brought up by the elders of the Zhengyi sect. Their master was like their parents. They were able to control their emotions after suddenly encountering such a disaster. It was already very good.
The drunk Taoist naturally understood, and glanced at Liangjie Mountain and said, "Everyone, rest here for a night. Zhou An and I have discussed and decided to let you stay in the Demon Suppression Division temporarily to concentrate on your training. I can also train you as demon hunters, and I can also inquire about the whereabouts of the Jitian Sect and look for opportunities for revenge.
I know that some of you still believe that this matter is closely related to the emperor. I will not force you. For those who do not want to stay in the Demon Suppression Division, I have prepared a manor in the eastern suburbs of Qianjingcheng where you can practice.
Slowly gather intelligence and see with your own eyes who the real enemy is. You don't have to make a choice now, take a night off and decide tomorrow, go ahead."
These disciples were now very confused and it was indeed not appropriate for them to make a choice immediately, so a Jinyiwei commander took them to the prepared tents.
"Zhou Ling, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you." the drunk Taoist called out.
Zhou Ling stopped and walked back, waiting for the other disciples to leave before the drunk Taoist said, "The real duty of the Zhengyi sect is to guard the entrance to the land. Now I am the only elder left in the sect, so I must guard there.
You are the eldest senior sister, and these disciples will need you to lead them in the future, so you must improve your strength as soon as possible. I hope you can enter the Kongling Immortal Mansion to practice. You practiced the Kongling Heavenly Book in your previous life. With the Zhengyi Dao practice as a foundation and the guidance of the four immortals, you can improve quickly. Are you willing?"
Zhou Ling did not object this time and said without any hesitation: "I will follow the arrangements of Uncle Master."
Zhou An smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning you will follow me to the Kongling Immortal Palace. When you meet the four immortals, you will definitely remember many memories of your past life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Ling said with a fist salute.
"Since we are all monks, there is no need for these etiquettes," Zhou An said.
“Go and say goodbye to your fellow brothers and sisters, and try to comfort them. I hope this disaster won’t become a demon in their hearts in the future.” The drunk Taoist sighed.
"I understand. I will do my best." Zhou Ling was also worried about this. He bowed and turned to leave.
