“The spiritual energy contained in the spring water beside the main hall is indeed more concentrated than that in the outer field…” Jiang Daili pondered and hesitated.
“But outer disciples, especially the apprentices in charge of the medicinal fields, are not allowed to move around in the inner sect area without being summoned by the inner sect's senior disciple or with the permission of our elders. Even if it's for the sake of the spiritual herbs in the medicinal fields, they should first report to the supervising disciple and obtain permission from above before the supervising disciple brings people to fetch the spring water. I find it very suspicious that he trespassed into the inner sect and went straight to the main peak,” Qingluo said.
“The Second Elder is right, I also think this Chen Li is very suspicious,” Xuanming agreed.
"Perhaps this Chen Li is the hidden shell of Jiu Yue," Wu Tianjun said, giving an affirmative vote.
“If it’s him, then this is really going to be difficult,” Jiang Dailu said with a worried look on his face.
"Why does the Grand Elder say that?" An Zijin, the other three elders, and Wu Dongyu all looked at Jiang Daili with confusion.
"Do you all remember the last time our peaks activated the protective formation to screen the disciples of our peaks?" Jiang Dailu's gaze swept over everyone.
Seeing that everyone nodded, Jiang Dailu continued in a calm tone: "That day, a group of outer sect disciples who were responsible for finishing up in Liuxiang Town entered Feilu Peak through the protective formation to receive their rewards."
I just remembered that Chen Li was one of them.
Moreover, the missing female disciple named Yang Suzhi was behaving intimately with Chen Li at the time, and the two seemed to be in a Daoist couple relationship!
Jiang Dailu's words immediately startled Qingluo, Xuanming, and Wu Tianjun, who all analyzed the situation:
"So, this Chen Li is definitely Jiu Yue's demonic shell within our Dan Sect!"
"If Yang Suzhi and Chen Li were Daoist partners, she must have been very close to Chen Li before. She must have discovered that something was wrong with Chen Li. Jiu Yue was afraid that he would be exposed, so he simply killed Yang Suzhi!"
"Only Jiu Yue could change Zhao Yang's opinion of Chen Li overnight, because Zhao Yang's mind was controlled by Jiu Yue!"
Wu Tongyu listened for a long time, still puzzled, and said, "What the elders said is all correct, but now there is a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Are you worried that you won't be able to get rid of this demon?" Qingge and Xuanming asked, puzzled.
Xi Que waved her little hand and said boldly, "Brother Wu, don't worry. Let my young lady refine the Resurrection Pill again, drag him in and strike him with lightning a few times, and all the problems will be solved. My young lady is good at this!"
"No, it's not that. Rather, there's something I just can't figure out," Wu Tongyu said, his face full of doubt. "These past two days, I had people investigate Chen Li's background in detail, and I learned that Chen Li only built the foundation the night before last."
As is well known, demonic cultivators and spiritual cultivators are inherently incompatible. The stronger the spiritual energy of the person possessed by a demon, the greater the consumption of the demon. This is why most demons do not choose spiritual cultivators as their bodies, but instead choose ordinary mortals.
If Chen Li is truly the demonic shell of Demon Lord Jiu Yue, why would he help Chen Li establish his foundation? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this: Yes!
Strengthening the demonic shell's spiritual power is tantamount to stabbing the demonic soul with a knife.
The Demon Lord isn't a masochist; would he do something so thankless and exhausting?
The young female bandit propped her chin up with her right thumb and forefinger, her bright eyes darting left and right:
These people went around in circles, and before the matter was resolved, they only confused themselves.
