Li Zhiming and his party stayed at the third stronghold for three full days.

After three days of rest and recuperation, the injured disciples had almost recovered, and the seriously injured disciples were no longer in danger of death.

However, the seal restriction on the stronghold teleportation array still exists.

This means that the person who set up the seal is still alive and is not one of the people he killed or captured.

"Junior Brother Li!"

Liang Meng walked over from the area where the disciples of the Punishment Hall gathered.

"Senior Sister Liang Meng, is there any news?" Li Zhiming asked.

"Yeah." Liang Meng nodded.

"That Huang Yun is very tight-lipped. I tried every possible method I could use, but she just wouldn't say a word."

"But the other three were not as strong as Huang Yun. After three days and three nights, I finally managed to get some information out of them." Liang Mengchang sighed.

"As I expected, Huang Yun might not speak, but the other three are different."

"The stronger her strength is, the higher her status and position are. At the same time, she is more stubborn. If we want to get information out of her, we probably need a strong person at the level of the Great Elder to do it."

"But the other three are different. I deliberately left the three weakest people. They are not very strong and are more afraid of death than Huang Yun. As long as the means are appropriate, we can still get some information out of them."

A sneer appeared on Li Zhiming's face.

All this was within his expectations.

He spared Huang Yun's life not because he wanted to get something from her, but because he wanted to take her out and hand her over to the sect for interrogation.

The three people arrested three days ago were the breakthrough.

The strength of these three people is limited, so it is easy for them to break through.

The disadvantage is that their status and position are much lower than others, so the information they know is quite limited, but it is better than finding out nothing at all.

"Junior Brother Li is very thoughtful. I admire him."

"We got some key information from the three people. There are a total of 32 people in this operation."

"It is divided into four teams, Tiandi Xuanhuang, and each team has eight people. That means there are still twelve people hiding in the dark."

"The sky and the earth are dark yellow... No wonder everyone in Tiankui's team has the surname Tian." Li Zhiming touched his chin.

"Who is the person who set up the seal and which team is he in?" Li Zhiming asked.

"None of the three of them knew who would be on their team before they even entered the trial road. They relied on identity jade slips and secret codes to identify each other. They were divided into four teams after everyone was present."

"These people were sent to our Zhenyuan Sect when they were young. The number of people in each batch is different, and they don't know each other's names and backgrounds."

"That's interesting. Who sent them here?" Li Zhiming asked again.

"The three of them did not enter our Zhenyuan Sect at the same time, so the master behind them is not the same person. But according to their statements, the style of behavior and clothing of the person behind them are almost the same, so they should belong to the same force."

“But they don’t know who this force is.”

"These three people had the same experience and their identities were surprisingly the same. They were all orphans of low status. They had trouble even getting enough food when they were young. But one day, they were taken in by a man dressed in black and wearing a mask. That man taught them how to practice, and they called him teacher."

"When they reach their teens, those with good physiques will be selected and sent to various major sects to practice and perform undercover missions at the same time," Liang Meng explained.

"I see. They sent them to various major sects. It seems that Zhenyuan Sect is not their only target."

Li Zhiming frowned and thought, the person behind him was so cautious.

The opponent this time is quite tough.

"Yes, our Zhenyuan Sect is just one of their targets."

"It's a pity that these three people only know that they have a teacher and the place where they learned and practiced when they were young, but they don't know what their teacher looks like or which force he belongs to." Liang Meng sighed.

"The person behind this must be no simple person. If we want to know more, we have to start with someone of Huang Yun's level. However, this has to be handed over to the sect's top leaders."

Li Zhiming withdrew his thoughts and nodded in reply.

"Junior Brother Li is right. Huang Yun is a tough woman. She needs to be handed over to the sect's top leaders for handling."

"The most urgent task is to find the remaining people."

A hint of coldness flashed across Liang Meng's eyes. She must catch all these spies and avenge her dead brothers!

"Senior Sister Liang Meng is right, but after today, the remaining twelve people will be more cautious. They may even hide and not come out, and we can't do anything to them."

Liang Meng frowned slightly when she heard this.

Li Zhiming was right. The other side had lost nearly twenty people.

And Li Zhiming's identity as a mind master could no longer be hidden. As long as those people were not fools, they would never act rashly again.

"If the remaining people don't reveal their identities voluntarily, it will be difficult for us to find them."

"Now we can only continue to gather disciples to search for the Cloud Horn Stone and the Heavenly Spirit Crystal together, and then head to the end of the Trial Road." Liang Meng replied.

"Senior Sister Liang Meng, I have a way, but I need your cooperation." Li Zhiming suddenly laughed.

"Junior Brother Li, just tell me directly. I will cooperate." Liang Meng said without any hesitation.

Li Zhiming leaned close to Liang Meng's ear and whispered softly.

…

Ten days later.

The seventh stronghold.

At this time, Li Zhiming's team was several times larger than before.

Now, 70% of the living disciples are gathered here.

During this period, no disciple died an unnatural death.

This means that the remaining twelve people have stopped their actions and are hiding in the dark waiting for their chance to strike.

"Li Zhiming, I just asked the disciples stationed here. The remaining disciples are following the Saint Girl and Wan Feng of the Black Armor Guard. They left the seventh stronghold five days ago and are probably approaching the end of the Trial Road now."

Qin Chuan sat next to Li Zhiming, took out the gourd and took a sip of water.

"There are still five days left until the end of the Trial Road. We have to set off. It seems that those rats dare not attack us again."

Li Zhiming stood up and said.

Then, he found Liang Meng and said, "Sister Liang Meng, it's almost safe now. Huang Yun will be handed over to you. There are too many disciples now, so we must act separately. The three peaks of Qingluan Peak, Tieshi Peak and Baihua Peak will act together, so I will go first."

"Okay, after you leave, the rest of us will advance in two groups. After all, we still have to find the Tianling Crystal and Yunjiao Stone." Liang Meng nodded in response.

"Brother Li, when we reach the finish line, it all depends on our own abilities."

Li Changfeng looked at Li Zhiming with a smile, playing with a piece of cloud horn stone in his hand.

"Hahaha, okay, then in five days we'll see who has more Cloud Horn Stones!"

Li Zhiming also laughed cheerfully.

Before this separate action, he discussed with Liang Meng, Li Changfeng and other disciples for a long time.

After all, they have been acting together all the time, and the number of Tianling Crystals and Yunjiao Stones is limited, and they cannot be distributed evenly.

Seeing that time is running out, many disciples have not yet collected enough Heavenly Spirit Crystals and Cloud Horn Stones, and many have already planned to leave the team to look for Cloud Horn Stones.

Therefore, we have today's separate actions.

"Huang Yun, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. The Trial Road will end in a few days. By then, the elders of the sect will have plenty of ways to pry your mouth open."

Li Zhiming glanced at Huang Yun who was tied up with iron chains and sneered.

Huang Yun was unable to move and could only stare at Li Zhiming.

"Fight to the bitter end!"

"Let's go."

Li Zhiming gave an order and led a group of people to leave the seventh stronghold.
