Chapter 530 Who is the spy?
After leaving the main peak, Luo Rufeng did not return to Lingjian Peak immediately, but returned to Zhengfa Hall.
When he walked into the room, he saw Pei Yun sitting on the bed, staring at Lu Yu who was still sleeping, crying silently.
Luo Rufeng frowned slightly. He rarely saw Pei Yun show her emotions in front of other people, but it was obvious that she cared about Lu Yu.
Pei Yun noticed Luo Rufeng standing at the door to the inner room. He suppressed his sadness, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, followed him to the outer room, and asked solemnly, "What unexpected incident occurred during this operation to encircle and suppress the demons?"
Seeing her eyes flushed, Luo Rufeng caressed her cheek tenderly, rubbed her with his thumb to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said slowly:
"...This time, the demons are setting a trap for the ten major sects. Otherwise, the Flame Spirit Sect might be destroyed. The Sect Master wants you to heal the injured elders and investigate whether they have demon seeds planted in their bodies. As for the other elders, he is also trying to find a way to investigate..."
"There are still demon spies in my sect?!" Pei Yun's expression turned cold. "I thought I had uncovered the traitor in my sect during my Nascent Soul Ceremony..."
"It's not surprising that the demons have planted many spies in the Yunshan Sect. Their plans have been thwarted time and again by you and me. And then there's the matter of Bai Qingyan. I'm afraid the Yeming demons are holding a grudge against us. The sect leader just told me that Qin Yun was captured..."
"What?! Big Brother was captured?!" Pei Yun was shocked, and anger continued to rise. "They killed Senior Sister Lu Yu and captured Big Brother. I will not stop until I have my revenge!"
Seeing Pei Yun's agitation, Luo Rufeng took her hand and soothed her, "Don't be impulsive, we should take a long-term approach. How is Junior Sister Lu doing now?"
Hearing this, Pei Yun subconsciously glanced at the person on the bed in the inner room. His hands were clenched into fists, and a slight tremor escaped his lips, which he was not aware of.
"Senior Sister Lu Yu... although she managed to save her life, her foundation was severely damaged. I don't know if she can resume her cultivation in the future..."
"It's enough to save your life first. Once this matter is settled, I'll go with you to Dongcangzhou to look for elixirs..."
Luo Rufeng said, "Fu Lingchen was also seriously injured at the time, but now he has to embark on the path of cultivation again..."
"It's different. Fu Lingchen and Senior Sister Lu Yu are different. Fu Lingchen's injuries look serious, but in fact, the Purple City Lord still showed mercy. Moreover, Fu Lingchen himself is at the Divine Transformation level, but Senior Sister Lu Yu..."
Pei Yun walked to the bed in the inner room, held Lu Yu's hand, and the figure who stood in front of her and protected her in her previous life appeared in her mind.
The figure was actually not big, and was as slender as other women, but it was like a ray of light that illuminated the darkness in her heart.
"Senior Sister Lu Yu, no matter what, I will heal you and let you practice again. This time, it's my turn to protect you..." A hint of determination flashed across Pei Yun's eyes.
After a while, the two left the room and returned to Lingjian Peak. The disciples of Lingjian Peak, who had received the news long ago, greeted them at the top of the peak.
"Master! Third Uncle! Senior Sister Pei, you are finally back!" Luo Qi was the first to step forward with an excited look on his face.
Lan Chu followed closely behind him and called out, "Master!"
The others also called out and saluted respectfully to the two of them. Pei Yun and the other two greeted everyone, chatted for a few words, and then left behind the few people who participated in the Chaomu Valley operation.
Pei Yun couldn't wait to ask, "Qin Yun was captured by the demons? Was it Ye Li who captured him?"
Fu Lingchen and Qu Yi sighed together, Luo Qi also lowered his head, and a hint of guilt appeared on their faces. Fu Lingchen said:
"...This time, several of our disciples from Lingjian Peak, including Qin Yun, signed up for the operation to encircle and suppress the demons. Before we could even enter the Dawn and Mu Valley, we were summoned to rescue the Yanling Sect. Later, the ten major sects proposed sneaking into the Dawn and Mu Valley to search for the demon cave. We formed a small team and were assigned to explore from the south of the Dawn and Mu Valley. However, the demons seemed to have fully understood our whereabouts. As soon as we entered the Dawn and Mu Valley, we were surrounded by a large number of demons, led by none other than that witch..."
After refining the demon bones, Ye Li was fed a lot of resources by her father. She also slaughtered many cities and small sects in Beiqizhou to practice demon skills. Although her strength is not as good as Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng, it is more than enough to deal with people like Fu Lingchen.
Among them, excluding Fu Lingchen who was cultivating again, the one with the highest cultivation level was Qin Yun, who was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Naturally, he was no match for Ye Li and the large number of demon soldiers under her.
Qu Yi said in a low voice: "In order to save our lives, Qin Yun agreed to leave with the witch..."
"Master, Senior Sister Pei, there are definitely demon spies in the sect! As soon as we entered, we were surrounded by demons. Except for our team, who were able to save their lives because of Qin Yun's protection, the other Yunshan disciples who entered suffered heavy casualties. My junior brothers and sisters all died in Chaomu Valley, and Junior Brother Gu Yuan is also dead..."
Luo Qi's voice was choked with sobs. Wang Xueer, who was standing behind him, heard the word "spy". Her eyes flickered slightly and she unconsciously took half a step back, trying to hide herself in the shadows.
Gu Yuan Pei Yun still remembers that in the foundation-building competition that year, he and Luo Qi were both seeded players, but Gu Yuan was defeated by her in advance.
Countless disciples of the Yunshan Sect were slaughtered by the demons. One could imagine the bodies lying in pools of blood. Pei Yun was filled with rage: "The demons must not be spared, not even the spies!"
Everyone present held a sullen expression, filled with hatred towards the demons. Only one person had his eyes lowered, his expression unclear...
The next morning, after Pei Yun visited Lu Yu, he went to see the injured elders one by one...
Zhao Han was also seriously injured this time. When Pei Yun arrived at the main peak, Zhao Yuexi wiped her tears and invited her into her father's room.
Pei Yun checked Zhao Han's physical condition, performed the Xisheng Jue, and sorted out the chaotic spiritual energy in his body. He also left the elixir he had refined and said:
"Although Elder Zhao has suffered internal injuries, he will recover after a period of rest. I will come to treat Elder Zhao regularly. Take one pill of this medicine every five days and circulate the Great Circulation of Qi after taking it..."
"Thank you, Elder Pei." Zhao Han expressed his gratitude. His wife and daughter beside him also had a look of surprise on their faces, and they relaxed completely.
When Zhao Yuexi sent her out, she also asked about Lu Yu's situation. Pei Yun said, "His life is no longer in danger, but his cultivation..."
Zhao Yuexi understood her unspoken meaning and sighed sadly for her friend.
After Pei Yun left the main peak, he walked through each peak one by one. Half a day later, he arrived at Huolian Peak.
Elder Wang, the master of Huolian Peak, and Pei Yun have an irreconcilable hatred for the murder of their sons. This time, Elder Wang is also one of the elders participating in the operation to encircle and suppress the demon clan.
When Huo Lianfeng's disciples saw Pei Yun coming up the mountain to visit him openly, they felt wary and aggrieved, but their master, Elder Wang, agreed to let Pei Yun come to treat him.
Pei Yun was led to the palace by Elder Wang's eldest disciple. Elder Wang was half lying on the couch, his face was pale, his brows were wrinkled together, and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked much older than Pei Yun had seen before, and it seemed that he had not recovered from a serious injury.
"Elder Wang." Pei Yun saluted.
Elder Wang opened his eyes and looked at Pei Yun with a sharp and cold look, but he stretched out his hand.
Pei Yun sat in front of him, placed her fingers on his wrist and began to examine it carefully. She met Elder Wang's gaze, and with an idea in her mind, she quietly examined the other's dantian and soul.
The opponent's injuries were quite serious, more serious than Zhao Han's. Although he was not seriously injured, he would need to rest for a year or two to recover.
There is no sign of demonic energy contaminating the dantian or the soul, so naturally there is no way for demonic seeds to take root.
But perhaps the other party was once her mortal enemy, so she became more cautious. The golden ball in her left eye loomed and she cast a time rewind...
Elder Wang noticed the abnormality in Pei Yun's eyes, and his heart paused. Before he could react, his eyes had become dull.
After a moment, Pei Yun said calmly, "... Elder Wang's injuries are serious. Rest well. Take one pill of this medicine every three days. After you finish, you can go to Danxiang Pavilion to get more medicine..."
"Send Elder Pei out." Elder Wang asked his eldest disciple to send Pei Yun away with an expressionless face.
When the eldest disciple returned to the palace, he saw his master with his eyes closed, resting, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Master, Pei Yun killed Junior Brother Wang He and has a deep grudge against us at Huo Lianfeng. Why do you still want her to treat you? What if she has bad intentions and poisoned the pill? Then you..."
"Don't worry, she is healing me under the order of the sect leader. She is not stupid enough to harm me in this way..." Elder Wang's tone was emotionless.
"Elder Zhang of Danxiang Pavilion can treat you. Why did the Sect Master send Pei Yun here to annoy us? We at Huolian Peak have done our best to encircle and suppress the demons. Many of our brothers and sisters have lost their lives, and even you, Master, have been seriously injured..."
"Hmph! Do you really think that the sect leader sent Pei Yun here for me to treat you? Stupid!" Elder Wang sneered.
"What?! What does the Sect Master mean?"
"The Sect Master probably suspects that one of us elders is a demonic spy, so he sent Pei Yun here. Surfacedly, he's here to treat us, but secretly, he's trying to detect whether there's demonic energy in our bodies..."
Elder Wang suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing, as if he understood everything. He said, "...Only by letting Pei Yun investigate can the Sect Master trust me and Huo Lianfeng. If I don't let Pei Yun treat us, the Sect Master will definitely suspect that we are spies from the Demon Clan..."
……
Pei Yun spent several days treating all the uninjured elders and taking the opportunity to examine their bodies. She and Luo Rufeng arrived at the main peak and reported to Sect Master Mu: "...I not only examined the bodies of these elders, but also used time travel, but found no abnormalities..."
"This is strange. At that time, each sect arranged the actions of its disciples on its own. I only told the elders of this operation about the plan of my sect, so the only ones who could have leaked the plan were these elders..." Sect Master Mu was puzzled and sighed with a headache.
Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng were not at the scene at the time, so naturally they didn't know what happened. After leaving the main peak, they returned to Lingjian Peak.
Everyone on Lingjian Peak is practicing hard. This action has made them deeply realize the importance of improving their strength.
Pei Yun was in Luo Rufeng's hall, speculating with him about who the spy was in the sect, when someone unexpectedly walked in from outside the hall and said respectfully, "Disciple Wang Xueer, I have something to ask the two elders."
