Chapter 31
When You Sheng and the others were knocked unconscious by the sleeping talisman, Chu Yingluo had already found the person she wanted to use her beauty trap on.
"Wu Hualin, you said that as long as I come back to you, you will promise to do something for me." Chu Yingluo looked fierce but was weak inside, and she actually had no confidence.
She was a foundation-building talisman cultivator, and the one facing her was a golden elixir demon cultivator.
Even though she said she would use some tricks to fight back, she was actually very worried about how to use the beauty trap.
The affairs between Chu Yingluo and Wu Hualin were full of twists and turns and were very complicated.
Wu Hualin is a disciple of the Demonic Sect's Demonic Spirit Sect, and Chu Yingluo is a disciple of the Immortal Sect's Guiyuan Sect. Logically speaking, the two should have no intersection.
But a few years ago, in order to refine a magic brush for drawing talismans, Chu Yingluo heard from her fellow senior brother that there was an evergreen amber stone and a Tiankun sacred tree in a small secret realm.
Then, she met Wu Hualin, a disciple of the Demonic Spirit Dao who came to hunt for beauties in this damn 'little' secret realm.
Everyone in the immortal sect knows that the Demonic Spirit Sect, one of the Eight Sects, was born out of the Tianyu Palace. It also practices the Hehuan Dao of "entering the Dao through emotion" but also "devouring the soul with emotion."
When each relationship ends, a strand of the other party's life essence will be extracted. Countless female cultivators have been deceived by their elegant appearance and used their lives to become stepping stones for the other party's path of cultivation.
Wu Hualin: "Oh?"
He was very surprised that the person who had always avoided him actually came to him on his own initiative, and they met him in Yongshu Township.
"You're not still brooding over what happened back then, are you? It wasn't entirely my fault. The problem lies primarily with you." Chu Yingluo's tone was full of urging the other party to reflect on themselves. "Besides, putting aside the fact that we belong to the righteous and evil factions, we are blood relatives."
"Can't you just not bother with me?" Chu Yingluo rolled her eyes and acted coquettishly, though a little stiffly.
Speaking of this, Chu Yingluo also felt that she was innocent. She didn't expect that the new talisman she casually researched would actually work, and accidentally destroyed Wu Hualin's plan to hunt for beauties at that time.
A talisman for changing gender. Chu Yingluo wanted to innovate and improve it, so she didn't draw it according to the previous runes.
Who would have thought that the effects would be so amazing, but the side effects would also be so shocking.
The Ink-stained Soul-Devouring Canon, which had always devoured the essence of others and fed it back to itself, had unexpectedly reversed its course for the first time.
Wu Hualin didn't expect this, and neither did Chu Yingluo, who inexplicably obtained a wisp of Wu Hualin's spirit.
Then she was forced to stay in the "small secret realm" with the other party for three months, and from then on the two had an inseparable entanglement.
But if it happens again, Chu Yingluo will still rescue the female cultivator.
Wu Hualin paused, and the casualness in his eyes suddenly disappeared. His eyes instantly became extremely serious, and seemed to be gleaming with coldness.
"I'm your cousin whom you haven't met for a long time!" It was the first time that Chu Yingluo took the initiative to establish a relationship with someone, and the other party was a demon cultivator that made the immortal sect tremble with fear. Chu Yingluo couldn't speak smoothly. After she finished speaking, she felt that her wording was not rigorous enough, so she added stiffly, "A distant cousin is still a cousin!"
Wu Hualin leaned against the railing, his sleeves lifted by the breeze and emitting the scent of ink, and an ink-colored soul-devouring flute was casually held between his fingers.
He stared at Chu Yingluo for a while, until she felt guilty and uncomfortable, then he took out a map and pointed at the number thirty-three on it, "Did you see it?"
"Is this the map of Tianyu Palace?" Chu Yingluo took a closer look and realized it was the map of Yongshu Township. It looked very familiar. "I want you to help me rescue someone. Why are you showing me this? Eh? Wait, this map isn't... How do you have our map?"
Chu Yingluo took a closer look and realized it looked familiar! Wasn't this the map she and Tang Daoyou had drawn together?
How could something they made themselves end up in Wu Hualin's hands?
"Don't you understand yet?" Wu Hualin shook his head and pointed out the meaning directly, "Someone has leaked your information to the Demonic Path."
Chu Yingluo was shocked.
"You mean... there's a traitor among us?"
Could it be that the arrest of Junior Sister Bai and Junior Brother Tu is also related to this traitor?
Chu Yingluo thought of the endless stream of undercover agents that had appeared in the sect in recent months, and did not immediately refute Wu Hualin's words.
Although Wu Hualin looked like a playboy who was good at using his appearance to seduce girls, he was a proud man and he would not lie about such matters.
Moreover, because of the bad fate between the two, the other party is currently unable to continue to deceive the girl's feelings.
This is true.
"But this is not the most important thing right now."
"What?" Saving people isn't important? The traitor isn't important?
That’s right, this traitor is not an undercover agent in your house.
"Didn't you notice?" Wu Hualin's eyes darkened, the frivolous glint in them fading like the tide. He pointed at the symbol on the map, "Cousin...? Do you know the requirements for the Demon Spirit Path to accept a disciple?"
"Of course I know, who is Zhan Chenyuan from the Demonic Spirit Sect...?" After saying that, Chu Yingluo was stunned.
Chu Yingluo shuddered and her eyes widened suddenly. She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Yes, the first rule for the Demon Spirit Sect to accept a disciple is to cut off all worldly ties. How could Wu Hualin, as a disciple of the Demon Spirit Sect’s master, still have blood ties with him in the world?
How could she be Wu Hualin's distant cousin!!!
"It seems you've realized it." Wu Hualin's eyes were dark and unclear. "Everything is clearly wrong, but before this, I didn't even notice a single thing."
Wu Hualin pointed to the number thirty-three on the map. The coding mark of each map was different. Thirty-three meant that the map of Yongshu Township had been changed for the thirty-third time.
Chu Yingluo carefully measured the mark pointed by Wu Hualin's finger, and then her face became serious. Yes, the materials they used to make the diagram were not used up at once. Every time a diagram was drawn, it would be automatically marked with a number, which was not something they could control.
Thirty-three, which means they made thirty-three cards.
But she had no memory of it at all.
"I hadn't noticed it before. If you hadn't come to me today and said these words to wake me up..."
I'm afraid he's still unaware of it.
However, unlike Wu Hualin, although Chu Yingluo was also shocked by the fact that her memory had been tampered with, the more important thing for her was the matter of the traitor.
This is an undercover agent who has infiltrated their sect!!!
Who knows if the memory tampering was done by an insider!
However, Wu Hualin really could do nothing to help with this traitor, and he didn't know who it was.
No... who is the traitor?
Oh no! Senior Brother You and the others… She must tell Senior Brother You this news as soon as possible!!!

Inside the dungeon——
You Sheng's face was full of disbelief.
"Junior Sister Bai, have you been bewitched by the Heavenly Desire Palace? Wake up! Don't let them control your mind and soul!"
At this moment, You Sheng still thought that Bai Qingqing was controlled by the witch of Tianyu Palace using secret magic. He suddenly saw the female cultivator of Tianyu Palace behind Bai Qingqing, and his eyes suddenly became red.
"Despicable! You actually controlled my junior sister! Don't think I can't see that you controlled my junior sister just to make us misunderstand! So that we can kill each other!" He spitted at the Tianyu Palace for such behavior, and kept calling out to try to wake up Bai Qingqing's "consciousness".
"Control?" Ban Meng sneered, looking You Sheng up and down before looking away in disdain. "This batch of Guiyuan Sect disciples is no good. What kind of look is that? Look carefully, does she look like she's being controlled?"
"Senior Brother You is just a more upright and simple person. There is no need for Fire Girl to make things difficult for him." Bai Qingqing defined You Sheng's stupidity as simplicity with just one simple sentence.
Tu Changxing heard it: ...
He had been imprisoned for so long that he naturally realized that this Junior Sister Bai had voluntarily surrendered to the enemy.
"Why?" You Sheng still found it hard to accept the fact that Bai Qingqing was conscious.
Ban Meng stroked a strand of black hair with her fingertips, her eyes slightly shimmering, her eyebrows raised slightly: "Don't you know that the blue red spider lily can lead people out of Yongshu Township?
This blue flower of the other shore is not an ordinary flower that grows in the ground. It is produced using the spiritual essence and roots of you cultivators, and using your flesh and blood."
You Sheng and Tu Changxing fell silent upon hearing this, and they looked again at the place where they were imprisoned.
He discovered that this was not an ordinary dungeon at all, but an underground cave filled with wooden stakes, where many people who had been captured like him were tied.
Except for him and Tu Changxing, everyone else was unconscious.
There is a translucent root under all the wooden piles, which intertwine and converge into a pool. From a distance, the pool is emitting a strange blue light, and it seems that some living creature is slowly wriggling inside.
Beside the dark blue pool, several shriveled corpses had distorted faces, as if they had experienced extreme pain before death.
You Sheng's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice tightened: "Are these... all monks who have been sucked dry?"
He stared at the pond, and then he realized that the true identity of the blue light was the "blue spider lily" they were discussing.
"I see." You Sheng sneered, "'Blue Bana'. When the Bana blooms, the road to the underworld appears. It was clearly stated from the beginning."
Tu Changxing also understood at this time that if this was the only way to leave Yongshu Township, he and Senior Brother You would never agree to it. They would rather not go out than use this method to give birth to the blue red spider lily.
But Bai Qingqing wanted to go out, and the witch of Tianyu Palace also wanted to go out.
"Junior Sister Bai, even if you use us to give birth to the blue Bianhua flower and successfully leave Yongshu Township, have you ever thought about what will happen after you leave here?
Do you think that after you leave, the sect leader will let you go for harming your fellow disciples?"
You Sheng's face was filled with the expression "Junior sister, you are so confused!", and his eyes were filled with more regret than anger.
Bai Qingqing didn't care about what You Sheng meant.
"Fellow disciples?" Ban Meng laughed sarcastically.
Bai Qingqing revealed a gentle smile, still looking as gentle as water.
You Sheng and Tu Changxing looked back and forth between Ban Meng and Bai Qingqing, as if they thought of something, and their faces instantly turned ugly.
Lin Xubai, who had been paying attention to the situation here from outside, was not surprised by what happened inside.
On the contrary, he had anticipated this scene from the beginning.
Suddenly, the white jade folding fan in Lin Xubai's hand turned black without warning, like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water, instantly staining the entire fan.
His peach blossom eyes, which were originally smiling, suddenly dimmed, and there seemed to be undercurrents in them, but they quickly returned to calm.
It seems that Jiang Wan came out safe and sound just as he expected.
Such a filling demonic energy...
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face became deeper, but there was an inexplicable biting coldness in it.
He gently turned the ink fan in his hand, making a beautiful spin on the back of his bony hand, then slowly stood up and strolled out.
It's time to end this farce.
*
On the way to the Tianyu Palace headquarters following the tracking talisman, Chu Yingluo unexpectedly met Jiang Wan who had just come out of the Blood Flower Sea dungeon.
Seeing Chu Yingluo in a hurry and with a serious expression, Jiang Wan was full of questions.
Uh...what happened again???
Why does it feel like she just downloaded a dungeon, and after coming out, the progress bar outside was suddenly filled up.
No, no one informed her of the progress!
Where are the people? Why is there no one here?
“Junior Sister Jiang!!!” Chu Yingluo was very surprised to see Jiang Wan. She looked around in surprise but found that Jiang Wan was the only one there. Her face couldn’t help but become a little heavy. “Why are you here alone?”
"Ah? I, uh..." Jiang Wan was stunned.
She saw the suspicion in the other person's eyes, which made Jiang Wan pause.
Jiang Wan, who had just used a big move, felt a little guilty and couldn't help but think about whether there was anything wrong with herself that would arouse suspicion.
However, Chu Yingluo didn't care about the stiffness in Jiang Wan's tone.
She solemnly placed her hands on Jiang Wan's shoulders, her eyes full of seriousness.
"I'm telling you one thing, don't be afraid!"
Jiang Wan:?
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows. Afraid? There was no such word in her dictionary.
She just dealt with a little boss who tried to make her feel desperate and scared.
Scared? Ha!
It's impossible.
Chu Yingluo took a deep breath: "There is a traitor among us."
Jiang Wan's eyes widened:!!!
"What!!!"
When Jiang Wan heard this, she was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and all the fur on her body stood up.
"The mole is the undercover agent."
Chu Yingluo thought Jiang Wan was too shocked to believe it, so she explained earnestly, "Remember those demonic cultivators who infiltrated the sect before? There was one person from the Demon Realm among us who disguised his identity and was an undercover agent hiding among us."
"Undercover!!!"
Jiang Wan regained her confidence. Her heart was beating fast and she was indeed a little scared. She was not afraid of anything else, but she was a little afraid of being exposed.
Jiang Wan was no longer calm and his head was buzzing.
No, she just finished defeating a small boss, and you guys are already looking for an undercover agent!??
I told her to notify her when the progress bar is drawn!!!
