It’s a pity, but there’s no need to regret it.
"According to the information, the gathering point of most of the remaining demon cultivators is ahead, the Hundred Poison Hall," the old man signaled the team to stop and said in a deep voice, "Get ready. This time we must kill them with one strike, and don't let any more escape."
……
In the area of Hundred Poisons Palace.
"Fuck," Tang Xin couldn't help cursing after hearing the news, "Couldn't you have come a day or two later?"
The intervention of the sect elders made the situation in the Hundred Poison Mountains suddenly clear.
The overwhelming power of the righteous path forced the demon cultivators to retreat step by step. No one knew what method they used, but not a single demon cultivator was able to bring back the message that "high-level cultivators from the righteous path are coming, run away."
If my guess is correct, most of the demon cultivators outside the Hundred Poisons Hall have been eliminated, and the rest who are lucky should have left the mountains.
This situation is naturally a good thing for righteous practitioners, as they will not encounter any danger when they go out.
But it is extremely difficult to transport a demon cultivator safely.
"It's a pity that the Shape-changing Pill can only be taken once every two weeks," Lian Xin shook her head, "otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome."
The Shape-Change Pill is a medicinal pill with many restrictions on use, otherwise it would not be so cheap in the world of cultivation.
"Let's get going quickly," Tang Xin frowned and said, "Once the encirclement closes, it will be difficult to leave."
Fortunately, A Miao discovered it in time, and the righteous elders had not yet completely surrounded the Hundred Poisons Hall. As long as they passed this level, the difficulty of escaping from the mountains would be much reduced.
Without the protection of the Shape-Change Pill, they had to hand over the task of avoiding the crowd to A Miao again.
Because he was facing a righteous elder whose realm was far higher than his own, the little cat demon was also extremely nervous.
The three men sneaked into the woods and advanced cautiously. No matter if they encountered any traps or ferocious beasts, they would never stay or take action, but just kept running forward.
The actions of a team led by the elders and a team formed spontaneously by the disciples are completely different.
They completed the siege of the Hundred Poisons Hall in a very short time without alerting the enemy.
Under such a meticulous siege, the demon cultivators inside would probably be unable to escape even if they had wings.
This time, it was not known whether it was because the amulet given by Lianxin worked, but they did not encounter any danger and managed to escape just before the encirclement closed in.
"Their attention is drawn to the Hundred Poisons Palace," Tang Xin said with a sigh of relief, "They probably won't pay too much attention to the situation behind them."
As for those demon cultivators, she doesn't have the energy to care about them. People call her "senior", so she can't really think of herself as a senior in the demon world.
"Maybe someone will come to support us, meow." Ah Miao didn't want to stay in the mountains any longer, so he urged, "Let's go quickly, meow!"
The cat demon was right. The current situation was clear. For the demon cultivators, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
Tang Xin was just about to lead the two of them forward.
"Tang, Fellow Daoist Tang? Is that you?"
A young female cultivator in Taoist robes walked out from the woods ahead, her face full of surprise.
Oh no! It's a righteous monk!
What's going on? Shouldn't all the monks from the Demon Slayer League join the elders' team? How come someone is left alone when they are so close?
Tang Xin's face turned cold instantly.
At this distance, even if you sneak attack and stun the opponent, or erase his memory, there is still a considerable risk that the opponent will react and send out a signal.
Once the righteous team not far away notices it, the main mission will be 100% impossible to accomplish.
Stay calm. Looking at the other person's expression, it seems that he is not aware of the situation yet.
"you are?"
Tang Xin asked.
"It's me," the female cultivator pointed at herself and said, "Tian Fang from Qingshui Sect. We talked before in the camp of the Demon Slayer League..."
Tian Fang?
Tang Xin thought about it carefully.
It seems that there is such a character, and he is the first person I talk to after I arrive at the Demon-Slaying Alliance camp... Because he is too much of a supporting role, he has no characteristics compared to Shangguan Qing'er, Liu Mei and others who appeared later, so he did not leave any impression.
"Friend Tian," Tang Xin forced a smile, "It's such a coincidence that we meet here."
"Coincidence? Didn't Fellow Daoist Tang rush here after hearing the news about the Hundred Poison Palace?"
Tian Fang walked over and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Uh, yes," Tang Xin nodded in agreement, "but I have a special mission and cannot go with the others. You should go meet up with the elders first."
Having said that, she was about to say hello to this minor role and leave with her people.
"A special mission?"
Tian Fang came to Tang Xin.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
The guy in front of him showed a grim smile and without any warning, threw a drop of black liquid onto the back of Tang Xin's hand.
The whole process was fast and fierce, and there was no chance to react in advance, and no room to dodge.
"I didn't expect it," she laughed, "the person who has been helping Lianxin is actually you! The chief senior sister of Xuanling Sect!"
Chapter 91 You are 20,000 years early
As an undercover agent, you have to keep a low profile.
Not to mention that he is an undercover agent from the evil path lurking in the righteous path. Once his identity is exposed, he will be 100% dead.
Tian Fang thought that he had done a perfect job in this regard.
What does it mean to be low-key? The weakest? No, the last one is usually a conspicuous person. Among a group of disciples with foundation-building cultivation, a Qi-refining person appears. How can this not be conspicuous?
The strongest? Can the strongest be called low-key?
Not weak nor strong, neither being taken seriously nor attracting attention, this approach is called low-key.
Being low-key is reflected in all aspects: appearance, personality, way of speaking, attitude towards people... In short, you cannot have any characteristics!
But finally, no need to pretend anymore!
"Don't act rashly, my great hero," Tian Fang looked at Tang Xin, laughing wildly, "You have been poisoned by a special heart-burning poison made by the devil. Once it takes effect, you will feel the pain of being burned by flames."
"you……!"
Lian Xin's face changed drastically and she raised her hand immediately.
"Princess, don't move either." Tian Fang glanced at her. "I can tell you that I don't have an antidote for this poison. I only have something that can speed up the onset of the poison. If you don't obey, I can make her wish for death right away."
Upon hearing the warning, the Demon Saint's arm froze in mid-air.
She wasn't lying.
Lian Xin also knew this kind of evil poison. Judging from the expression on the back of Tang Xin's hand, what the other party said should be true.
This poison not only causes pain, but the person who administers the poison can also control its effects.
"Master Sister Tang, you should have felt the pain, right?"
Tian Fang walked up to her and tickled her chin with her finger, with a sinister smile on her face as if she had succeeded in her plan.
"I thought the one who helped Lianxin would be Shangguan Qing'er or Liu Mei, or some stupid disciple who was seduced by her beauty. I never guessed that it was you..."
"What do you want?"
Tang Xin frowned.
"Haha," Tian Fang touched her face, seeming to enjoy the pleasure of doing whatever she wanted, and said with a smile, "I'm quite interested in you. I wonder what it would be like to corrupt a cold and upright cultivator like you into a demon cultivator?"
"Let her go!"
Lian Xin said angrily.
"I should be your target, take me away, these things have nothing to do with her!"
"My princess," Tian Fang looked at her with contempt, "She is in my hands, do you still dare not go with me? Unless you don't want her to live."
"How did you know we were here?"
Tang Xin stood there, motionless, beads of sweat dripping from both sides of his forehead. He looked as if he was in great pain.
"It's okay to tell you," Tian Fang said with the attitude of a winner who has everything under control, "We have a way to know that Lian Xinli has not left the Hundred Poison Mountains. You disappeared from the Poison Flower Valley for such a long time, and you are still staying in the mountains. Apart from the Hundred Poison Palace, what other place is so attractive?"
"Then these righteous monks..."
"Of course I led you here," Tian Fang said with a smile, "I knew you had a way to escape... I didn't want to use such a dangerous method, but who told you to hide like rats?"
As a righteous disciple, it was a simple matter for Tian Fang to report the location of the Hundred Poisons Hall using indirect methods.
But this method carries a great risk. If Lianxin is caught by the righteous monks, she will have no way to get her out.
The only thing to blame is this operation, which has been delayed for too long. If Lianxin is not brought back, even they will have to retreat.
"Who are you?" Lian Xin frowned and asked, "You made such a big scene just to catch me? You should not lack the little knowledge in my head, right?"
Compared with the local demon cultivators, these foreign demon cultivators are much more organized and planned, and their goals are very clear. They are not interested in the remains of the demon path, but only want to capture Lian Xin.
With this kind of strength, they are definitely not an ordinary force.
"It seems that Princess you don't know your true role yet," Tian Fang said in a sympathetic tone, "Knowledge is secondary. The key is your bloodline... This is the precious thing."
"Demon Lord Bloodline?" Tang Xin asked, "What is its use?"
"hehe."
Tian Fang smiled, deliberately keeping people in suspense, and did not answer. She just glanced at Tang Xin's arm, and after confirming that the poison had spread, she spoke.
"The poison has taken effect," she said to Lian Xin again, "I'll give you a chance to make a decision. Do you want to go with us and save your friend's life, or leave her behind and seize the last chance to escape?"
Lianxin looked at Tang Xin.
The other party has spent so much effort trying to catch him, most likely they have a more terrifying conspiracy than that of his followers. If he falls into their hands, the fate of him would be unimaginable.
But if she really escaped, Tang Xin would...
"I suggest you run away first," Tang Xin said with a forced smile, "If you can't leave the Hundred Poison Mountains, my fate won't be any better... We're just people who met once, right? Don't worry too much about my safety."
"Wow," Tian Fang couldn't help but applaud, "A great hero is a great hero. Even though he can't save himself, he still wants to save others!"
