Chapter 295 Ruthless Killing
Seeing that they showed no intention of attacking, Ye Luo looked around and asked, "Senior Brother, what's going on? Where did all these spiders come from?"
“They emerged from inside the mountain.” Nan Muyin looked around and pondered for a moment before saying, “These bats and spiders are all being controlled by humans. Everyone must be extra careful from now on.”
"What? Who could be so vicious!"
"Yes, they killed quite a few of our disciples last night!"
"If I catch that guy, I'll definitely cut him into a thousand pieces!"
After settling the injured disciples, Yang Shen walked up to Nan Muyin and asked, "Did you get a clear look at that person's face?"
Upon hearing his question, Nan Muyin shook her head slightly, her eyes trembling. "The light inside the cave was too dim, and I couldn't see her face clearly. However, I'm certain she was a woman."
"A woman?" a disciple of Xuanwu Palace asked doubtfully. "Could it be Bai Ruoqian?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Su Yuyuan retorted angrily upon hearing his disciple's words.
He summoned his magical artifact and was about to attack, but Yang Shen stopped him in time.
“I’m not talking nonsense. Right now, she’s the prime suspect,” the Xuanwu Palace disciple continued.
“You’re right. When she left the cave in a huff, she said she wanted to see how we died. We heard that clearly,” another disciple added.
"I'm afraid she's the one who caused this commotion!"
"Could it be that the Tianfeng Sect is plotting against us and trying to steal the treasures here?!"
"Gentlemen, this is a matter of great importance. You must have evidence to support your claims!" Yang Shen said solemnly. "Our Tianfeng Sect disciples also suffered casualties in last night's battle. Are we going to plot against ourselves?!"
"Alright." Nan Muyin smoothed things over for everyone, saying, "We are surrounded by external enemies now, this is not the time for internal strife, let's all prepare for a major battle."
After calming everyone down, Nan Muyin arranged for Feng Yue and the others to observe the situation, and then led Ye Luo, Yu Qianling, and Cen Feng into the cabin.
In addition, he also called out to Yang Shen via telepathy.
Yang Shen was naturally full of doubts, so he gave Lü Xuan a few instructions and went into the cabin.
What brings you here?
Nan Muyin did not answer him, but instead waved her sleeve, adding a barrier outside the cabin. She said with a solemn expression, "Time is of the essence, so I will get straight to the point. The person who controlled the demonic beasts to attack us is indeed Bai Ruoqian from your sect."
"impossible!"
Nan Muyin knew he wouldn't believe her, so she took out a crystal ball, which showed Bai Ruoqian's furtive figure and intimate scenes with the bats and spiders...
Seeing this, Yang Shen's face turned ugly, and he said in disbelief, "How could this be... how is this possible!"
Nan Muyin said, "That is indeed the case."
Yang Shen looked up at him with bloodshot eyes, opened his mouth as if to ask something, but then closed it again.
Based on his understanding of Nan Muyin, he knew very well that Nan Muyin had no reason to fabricate any lies or create any false evidence.
Yang Shen's eyes were filled with pain and inner turmoil as he made his final struggle, asking in a trembling voice, "Is it really her...?"
Nan Muyin nodded and said, "Moreover, I noticed that she seemed very familiar with this place and was constantly searching for something. She doesn't seem to be here to search for treasure at all. Yang Shen, how much do you actually know about her?"
When asked this, Yang Shen looked confused. After a moment, he said, "Her personality has changed drastically lately. She's gradually become more solitary, so I don't know much about her..."
"What about Su Yuyuan?" Ye Luo asked.
“He…” Yang Shen paused, his face bitter, “He’s always been naive, so he probably doesn’t know either.”
Nan Muyin asked in confusion, "I just exchanged a few blows with her and found that her technique is very strange. It doesn't seem to be the technique of your Tianfeng Sect. Instead, it seems to be some kind of evil cultivation secret technique. Don't you notice anything unusual since you've been together day and night?"
"Yes, she did." Yang Shen paused, then said truthfully, "She often uses some profound techniques or sword skills. Even my master asked about it, but she explained that it was a gift from a mysterious master and wouldn't let us investigate further..."
"You've all probably met that 'master' before."
At this moment, Ye Luo, who had been listening in, said, "Do you guys still remember the evil spirit that possessed the broken jade in the scene shown on the Karma Platform last time?"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that at that time, many people's focus was on Bai Qingyi's romantic affairs and the grudges and entanglements between them, and they subconsciously ignored that evil spirit.
Yu Qianling asked, "You mean... that evil spirit is that master? Perhaps he's still with Bai Ruoqian?"
"Yes, most likely."
"How did you know that?" Yang Shen asked.
Ye Luo said, "Judging from the arrow she shot last night, it had the aura of an ancient demonic bow. I participated in the annihilation of the City of Ten Thousand Sins and fought her head-on back then. How could I not recognize it?"
Cen Feng said angrily, "So, she actually stabbed me in the back then!"
At that time, demonic energy invaded his sea of consciousness, almost causing him to fall into demonic possession and destroying the foundation of his Daoist heart.
Upon hearing this, Yang Shen hesitated, then lowered his eyes and his expression became serious.
Yu Qianling asked, "But what exactly is she trying to do with all this fuss?"
“Perhaps it has something to do with the origin of that evil spirit,” Ye Luo continued. “That evil spirit is the Heavenly Feather Saintess from the outer realm. She is a remnant soul that survived the great war ten thousand years ago. She is not easy to deal with.”
"How did you find out?" Yang Shen asked, his face full of doubt.
"You don't need to know."
Ye Luo's eyes turned slightly cold. "Yang Shen, I'm telling you this now: whether it's Bai Ruoqian or Tianyu Saintess, I swear I will kill them in this lifetime. If you try to stop me, don't blame me for being merciless."
Yang Shen's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he said, "But... perhaps she was just bewitched, and that she wasn't inherently bad..."
Ye Luo glanced at him and smiled helplessly: "How come after all this time, you're still using the idea that human nature is inherently good as an excuse?"
“Yang Shen,” Nan Muyin said solemnly, “regardless of whether she was bewitched or not, she has committed heinous crimes and is beyond redemption. If we were to confront her, it would inevitably be a battle to the death. I hope you can make a statement here, which is why I asked you to come.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Shen was taken aback, realizing Nan Muyin's good intentions. If he had revealed the truth just now, they would have been in grave danger under the wrath of the various sects.
Thinking of his disciples who had died tragically, his eyes showed sadness as he clenched his fists and said, "As the eldest disciple of the Tianfeng Sect, I naturally know the responsibilities I bear and can distinguish right from wrong!"
That's good.
...
Inside the cave.
The sound of dripping water could be heard continuously. Bai Ruoqian peered out at the warship in the distance, her face filled with panic.
"Oh no, that person was Nan Muyin... He... he thinks he saw my face, what... what should I do?"
"Yes, he'll definitely tell others, and then you'll be hunted down by the Alliance, disgraced and left with no burial place," Xin Hun Yin's soul floated in the air, saying nonchalantly.
Bai Ruoqian's face was full of anger as she said, "What do you mean?! I'm in this situation and you're still making sarcastic remarks!"
"What do you want me to say? Comfort you gently and softly?!"
Xin Hun Yin snorted coldly and said, "You panic so much over such a small matter, all the years of my training and guidance have been wasted."
Hearing her scolding, Bai Ruoqian had no time to care and asked anxiously, "But in this situation... what should we do?"
"Just kill them all."
"What?! They were all killed?!"
"Otherwise what? Do you want to be ruined?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's face turned ugly. Just as the Soul Guide had said, she indeed had no other choice.
"But there are so many of them, even with the help of spirit beasts... it's not certain that we can kill them all, right?"
People from other sects are one thing, but the group led by Peach Blossom Valley are all extremely difficult to deal with.
Xin Hun Yin naturally saw the doubt in her eyes and sneered, "If it were anywhere else, I really wouldn't be so confident. It's a pity that this used to be my territory, and hunting them down would be a piece of cake."
"Really? What do you want to do?"
"Ha, I have my own way."
