“That can’t be! I’m very familiar with senior brother.”
Bai Zhijing still didn’t believe it.
How could that be an imposter?
“Then what did you suspect just now?”
That’s right!
Suspect what?
She just felt that something was wrong.
“He knows everything about the sect, including our patriarch and the teleportation formation. He can’t be an imposter.”
Bai Zhijing shook her head.
She didn’t believe the words of the gray-haired man in front of her.
But the young man had walked out of the forbidden area, showing that he was definitely a powerful guy.
How could such a figure lie to her?
“Are these still secrets to the demon spies?”
Hmm?
Bai Zhijing thought carefully.
When she was chatting with her senior brother just now, they didn’t seem to talk much.
The things they talked about weren’t really secrets for the spies.
They hadn’t talked for long. She had digested the news of the sect, and then was anxious to explain what she had seen.
She didn’t pay too much attention but just felt that there was something different about her senior brother.
“Then he…”
“Illusion. The purpose of this sneak attack wasn’t just to test the strength of your sect, but also to create a diversion. One of your elders let him in,” Li Mu said straightforwardly.
He felt that the Mysterious Sky Sect was truly in danger this time.
There were holes everywhere and powerful enemies were surrounding them.
No wonder those demons were not afraid of the Mysterious Sky Sect.
With so many traitors in the sect, what were they afraid of?
“No, I must go back!”
Bai Zhijing left Li Mu and ran to the main hall.
She pushed open door to the main hall.
Sure enough, her senior brother was sitting in the main hall.
The moment she pushed open the door, more than ten elders in the main hall turned their heads, including Wang Qian’an.
Bai Zhijing examined everyone in the main hall.
None of them looked unnatural.
Then that senior brother she had met was really a fake.
“Elder Bai, what did the patriarch say?” One elder asked.
Bai Zhijing recovered from the shock.
So that young man was really the Patriarch.
The Patriarch that she had waited for two days actually…
No!
I must go back and ask who the traitor is.
“Junior sister!”
Wang Qian’an saw Bai Zhijing’s expression and reminded her.
She took a deep breath.
She calmed down and knew she couldn’t leave yet.
The matter had to be explained clearly.
“The Patriarch said that we have a traitor here.”
Of course.
The elders looked disappointed.
They had thought that Bai Zhijing had received some incredible help.
But it turned out to be something they had known.
“Elder Bai, did you not see the Patriarch at all?” The Sect-protecting Elder asked.
Everyone stared at Bai Zhijing.
Their eyes were filled with doubt.
What the sect protector elder said could be true.
“Previously, when the demons attacked the mountain gate to test waters, they diverted your attention and sent several blue-eyed insect apes who knew illusions into the sect. They transformed into sect elders and attacked together with the spies at the crucial moment.”
“What?!”
“Do you have proof?”
The elders all stood up.
Then, they slowly sat down.
They frowned.
Since when did the demons become so smart?
Kill three birds with one stone?
The demons of Mount Eternal’s riot was spontaneous. They didn’t have the time to make such a complicated plan.
“You didn’t come down here just to comfort us, did you?”
“That’s right. It doesn’t take one whole day to see the Patriarch, right?”
The elders were doubting Bai Zhijing’s words.
Wang Qian’an’s gaze was complicated.
He didn’t understand why Bai Zhijing came down at this time.
“One of them pretend to be my senior brother and tried to get information from me. If it wasn’t for the Patriarch’s warning, I would have believed him.”
After calming down, Bai Zhijing realized that she had made many mistakes.
Firstly, she shouldn’t have come down without thinking about the consequences.
Secondly, since she had already seen the Patriarch, she should have asked him to help her instead of rushing down.
The mistake had already been made.
Seeing that the elders were still suspicious, Bai Zhijing continued, “If I’m not wrong, one of them is heading towards the teleportation formation.”
“For what?”
“If the demons go to the teleportation formation, they’d enter the forbidden area. What would happen to the things in the forbidden area?”
“No, the demons will only die if they enter the forbidden area.”
“Wrong. If the demons had an elder’s identity token, the forbidden area would not attack them. Back then, we also kept spirit beasts in the forbidden area. Many demon warriors had entered the place and then come out.”
Hearing Elder Qin’s words, the other elders changed their expressions.
Indeed, the forbidden area would attack outsiders but some peaks would remove restrictions when they received guests from the demon race.
“The demons don’t know where the teleportation formation is!”
“He’s disguised as the sect master. It’s easy for him to find the teleportation formation. He just needs to ask the elders who know about the teleportation formation.”
All the elders got worried.
They stood up and headed out.
“There’s no rush. Even if they know the location of the teleportation formation, they don’t know the spell to activate it,” Elder Jin comforted them.
Swoosh!
More than ten figures left the hall and rushed towards the teleportation formation.
The elders became even more worried.
If it was really as Bai Zhijing had said, then they were in big trouble.
The blue-eyed insect apes did indeed know some illusionary techniques.
They could disguise as humans by concealing the demonic aura. It was indeed difficult to distinguish them from ordinary humans.
People of the same cultivation level could not tell the difference. Only those with higher cultivation levels could see through it with a glance.
However, the blue-eyed Insect apes had an innate flaw. Few of them were cultivation geniuses, and they could only reach Emptiness Realm at most.
The Emptiness Realm blue-eyed insect apes couldn’t conceal their identity before elders of the Gui Yuan Realm.
“Elder Mi, what are you doing here?”
Outside the teleportation formation cave, the group of elders had just arrived when they saw a purple-robed elder walk out.
Hearing the question, Elder Mi was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with an unnatural expression, “I’m here to patrol! I’m taking a look around.”
“Why are you patrolling this place?”
“With so many demon spies among us, I came here to take a look, just in case,” Elder mi said awkwardly.
Bai Zhijing glanced at him, feeling that there was something wrong with him.
Elder Mi was always warm and gracious.
Why did he look so weird today?
Bai Zhijing frowned slightly and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s patrol together!”
“No, I’m just looking around. You guys go ahead.”
Elder Mi said awkwardly and was about to leave.
Obviously, he was surprised to meet a group of high-ranking members of the Mysterious Sky Sect here.
“Let’s go together, Elder Mi.”
Bai Zhijing stopped him.
“Is there a problem?”
Wang Qian’an asked Bai Zhijing telepathically.
“Yes!”
Bai Zhijing then grabbed Elder Mi’s shoulder as they walked towards the teleportation formation.
Wang Qian’an followed closely behind Elder Mi.
The other elders did not speak. Seeing Bai Zhijing and Wang Qian’an’s serious expressions, they were more cautious.
“Let’s go!” Wang Qian’an stared at Elder Mi and said.
“I…”
Elder Mi had no choice but turn around.
Hu!
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Elder Mi suddenly turned around and struck out with a palm.
Boom!
