At the same time, Jiao Peng also removed the defensive formation and ran to Su Muxi to see if she was injured.
Old Niu repeatedly instructed that Su Muxi's safety must be guaranteed.
When Su Muxi told him her plan just now, he was firmly against it.
But Su Muxi was very persistent, and he could not come up with a solution to the current dilemma. In the end, he agreed to Su Muxi's plan only after Su Muxi repeatedly assured him that she would not get hurt.
"Comrade Su Xiao, are you okay?" Jiao Peng asked nervously.
Su Muxi turned around on the spot and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Seeing that Su Muxi was fine, Jiao Peng finally felt relieved.
He quickly ordered his team members to tie up all the cultists.
After tying up everyone, Jiao Peng pulled aside a cultist who looked less injured and had him woken up.
The man opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, and immediately cried out in fear.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
Jiao Peng's face was gloomy, and his tone was cold as he said, "As long as you cooperate, I will never take your life. But if you hide anything, I will definitely make you regret coming into this world."
The cultist's eyes rolled, and he immediately nodded and said, "I will definitely cooperate with you fully!"
As he spoke, he began to observe his surroundings and secretly mobilized the evil energy in his body.
However, he was surprised to find that his body was empty, without a trace of evil energy.
Seeing this, Jiao Peng showed a mocking smile on his face, and then punched the cultist hard in the face.
The cultist suddenly fell to the ground with a painful groan, and blood quickly seeped from the corner of his mouth.
These cultists usually stay in caves to make poisons and are weaker than ordinary people.
Jiao Peng's punch made the cultist's head buzz.
He rubbed his fists, then stepped hard on the man's chest.
"I've already warned you to cooperate and not play any tricks on me."
"Have you ignored my words? How dare you even attempt to use your skills?"
"If I had known you wouldn't be so honest, how about our medicine? Is it better than your poison?"
Jiao Peng shouted loudly: "Brothers, show him some color and let him taste how hard your fists are!"
He raised his foot swiftly, then exerted force and kicked the man hard in the stomach.
The force of this kick was so great that it made people feel scared.
Then he quickly moved away to make room for others.
Upon seeing this, the members of the action team immediately swarmed forward and surrounded the cultist tightly.
For a while, the sounds of punches and kicks were heard one after another.
The cultist was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy repeatedly, and his cries echoed throughout the night sky.
They were afraid that his shouting would alarm other members of the Moon Worship Cult, so someone immediately went up and covered the cultist's mouth with something.
There was only despair in the cultists' eyes.
After a while, Jiao Peng stopped the players.
Upon hearing the sound, the members of the action team immediately dispersed, leaving a vacant space.
They stood in a circle, surrounding the cultist in the middle whose face was bruised and whose nose was bleeding.
Jiao Peng spat with disdain and cursed, "You ungrateful person, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished."
His eyes were full of contempt and anger.
The cultist took the food out of his mouth and put his hands together, begging, "Stop hitting me. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. I will definitely cooperate with you."
When asked the next question by Jiao Peng, the cultist was very cooperative and told him everything he knew like pouring out beans.
It turns out that Huiwu has always been in charge of this stronghold on the mountain.
He usually used the temple's identity as a cover to lure orphans or vagrants who had no subsequent troubles to the back mountain, and then had others bring them to the base to use them to develop various poisons.
Everyone in their stronghold practices poison magic.
The evil energy in your body is poisonous.
Over the years, they have sent the poison they refined to the place designated by the leader.
"What on earth are you going to do by refining so many poisons?" Jiao Peng asked.
"We don't know either. We are just following the leader's instructions."
“Every year, someone comes to collect the poison and transport it to various places.”
"As for its specific use, only the leader knows." The cultist replied.
Looking at Huiwu lying on the side, breathing in more than out, Jiao Peng continued to ask, "Did you also refine those Buddhist beads, Huiwu?"
The cultist shook his head vigorously: "No, we only know how to make poison. Those Buddhist beads have nothing to do with us."
"A year ago, a woman came here with a cult leader's order." The cultist said in a trembling voice.
"Those Buddhist beads were brought by her," the cultist added.
"She said the leader asked Huiwu to use his status to distribute these beads to those who came to pray to the gods and Buddha because they saw that their families were relatively wealthy."
And according to this person's description, the woman who gave the Buddhist beads should be the missing fortune-teller.
Now it makes sense.
These people use Buddhist beads not only to capture people's souls, but also to steal other people's luck.
Over the years, the Moon Worship Cult has secretly murdered countless people.
Thinking of this, Su Muxi slowly clenched her fist.
She must make sure these people get the punishment they deserve.
After some discussion, the few of them finally made a decision: to leave one person to guard the cultists to ensure that they would not escape or cause trouble.
The others headed to the Moon Worship Cult's stronghold and continued hunting down other cultists.
Based on the intelligence they received, the group carefully followed the route, remaining vigilant at all times.
Finally, they arrived at their destination—the Moon Worship Cult's stronghold.
"Here we are. It's just ahead."
A member of the action team pointed forward, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
If this operation is successful, these cultists will be wiped out and an important stronghold of the Moon Worship Cult will be destroyed. They will definitely be able to obtain more information and clues about the Moon Worship Cult.
Perhaps, by following this clue, they may even have a chance to find the Moon Worship Cult's lair.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Su Muxi looked at the cave ahead from afar. According to the plan agreed upon in advance, she quickly took out the defensive array plate and injected spiritual power to activate the defensive array.
This formation will form a solid barrier to protect those inside from external attacks.
At the same time, she arranged a member of the action team to be responsible for controlling the switch of the formation so that it could be turned off in time when necessary.
Afterwards, Su Muxi followed suit and set up a divine thunder formation outside the defensive formation.
This formation has powerful destructive power and can cause huge damage to any enemy that tries to break through the defense line.
After completing the arrangements, Su Muxi quietly hid in the dark.
