"Recently, our people have been coming in and out frequently. It's best to remind our disciples to be more careful." The grey haired man said.
"En, en. What about the materials from before? Keep them sealed. If they are opened, they will inhale impurities." The yellow robed Evil Sword Master said.
"Don't worry. All the materials in the black wooden boxes will be kept together and guarded closely."
"That's good. Once the materials are gathered, we can ask the God of Fire to personally forge this exceptional sword!" The yellow robed Evil Sword Master laughed.
"Your mission is considered complete. You can go and drink some good wine. As for the rest … the Emperor will handle it." The grey haired man said.
The yellow robed Evil Sword Master and the grey haired man exchanged glances. From their expressions and the way they purposely lowered their voices, one could tell that they had other secrets.
… …
Earth Sect Ancestral City. Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling continued to wait for news from Ling Song.
They had followed the Evil Sword Sect members all the way. Originally, they wanted to find the hidden headquarters of the Evil Sword Sect. Who would have thought that they would end up in such a magnificent Sword Sect Ancestral City!
"No wonder the Evil Sword Sect could not be eradicated. They are like parasites, living in the reputable sects. A big sect like the Earth Sword Sect actually hides the biggest Evil Sword Sect!" Linghu Ling did not expect it to be like this.
The Earth Sword Sect was considered one of the top ten Sword Sects in Yuheng Shenjiang. Their reputation had always been good and they had nurtured countless Sword Gods and Sword Immortals. Linghu Ling still recognized their Sword God Grandmaster and had a good impression of him. Who would have thought that the Earth Sword Sect would become the Evil Sword Sect's protection!
"This is troublesome. Originally, it was just a small Evil Sword Sect. Linghu Fairy and I could easily destroy them. Now, we have to go against a big sect …" Zhu Minglang was having a headache.
It was not that they could not destroy them.
The problem was that destroying an Evil Sect and destroying an Ancestral City that had been infiltrated by an Evil Sect were two different things. It would easily affect the ordinary people.
And from the actions of the four Great Sword Masters, it was not that the entire Earth Sword Sect had been infiltrated by the Evil Sword Sect. It was just that the Earth Sword Sect itself did not know that the Evil Sword Sect had taken root in their sect!
"Look at that person, don't you think he looks familiar?" Zhu Minglang looked down from the high eaves of the building and saw a man wearing a blue gown.
That man seemed to be the Great Sword Master who tried to eliminate the demons and defend the righteous path. Zhu Minglang remembered his square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes...
"I don't have any impression of them." Linghu Ling couldn't remember what those four people looked like.
"Why are they acting so sneakily? They seem to be doing something sneaky. I'll go and check it out," Zhu Minglang said.
Linghu Ling did not say anything. She was also thinking about how to deal with the Earth Sword Faction.
Wiping out evil sects was something that Linghu Ling, the Righteous Goddess of Yuheng, should do. However, this evil sect was like a tumor growing on the body of a righteous sect. It was not a wise thing for her to expose them. She had no idea how far the Earth Sword Faction had been infiltrated.
Zhu Minglang followed the man with thick eyebrows.
He found his way into the sword pavilion of a sword faction and was meeting someone secretly.
The man with thick eyebrows waited anxiously. Zhu Minglang almost lost his patience with him. Finally, another person walked into the sword pavilion. It was a woman wearing a simple but elegant robe with plum blossoms. Her face was pretty, and her body was hot. Only her eyes had a special charm to them.
"Senior Sister Lingfang, I don't know if I should tell you this, but I really don't know who I should talk to." The man with thick eyebrows looked depressed.
The tendons in his arms and legs were torn. Although they had healed and he could walk normally, he still looked very weak.
"Say it. If you hide it in your heart, you will suffer for the rest of your life," Senior Sister Lingfang said.
When Zhu Minglang heard this conversation, he immediately lost interest.
So it was a secret meeting. He thought it was something big. Also, he didn't think it would be taboo. It was not exciting at all.
"I think there is a traitor in our sect," The man with thick eyebrows said.
"Our sect is so big. From the sect leader to the sect leader, to the masters and uncles, there are tens of thousands of disciples. Isn't it normal for there to be traitors? This matter will naturally be handled by our Discipline Sect. You don't have to worry about it," Senior Sister Lingfang said.
"No no no, I'm referring to the traitor … It could be the Evil Sword Sect, the Evil Sword Sect that we cannot coexist with. Previously, I had already sensed that there was a problem within our sect. After my secret investigation … I'll tell you what happened two days ago." The man with thick eyebrows said seriously.
Then, the man with thick eyebrows told her about how he went to intercept the Evil Sword Sect.
"He Xin, are you crazy? You will lose your life!" Senior Sister Lingfang said in shock.
"I'm still alive, aren't I? That yellow-robed Evil Sword Master is indeed our Earth Sword Sect's Liao Guan's master. Although he made a very deliberate disguise, I am very sure that it is him!" said the disciple named He Xin.
"Master Liao? How is that possible? He is clearly a very benevolent elder! "Lingfang said.
"Right now, I really don't know what to do. Furthermore, my fellow sect members are also investigating the other Martial Uncles and Masters. There might be more than one or two Evil Sword Sect members hiding in our sect. There might even be more than what we think." He Xin said with certainty.
Xu Lingfang's face was full of shock.
She stared at He Xin for a long time before carefully asking, "Then, junior brother, have you told anyone about your investigation?"
"Not yet. These were discovered by a few of my fellow sect members. Furthermore, we have been investigating in secret. At first, we did not believe it. Until someone suggested that we take the risk. We also risked being killed by the Evil Sword Sect to get this result," He Xin said.
"What are the names of your fellow sect members?" Xu Lingfang asked.
"Sun Xu, Zhong Jun, Chu Ming, I really don't know what to do, senior sister." He Xin had a pained look. As a righteous sect, he could not accept that there were so many evil people hiding in his sect. That was a disgrace!
At this moment, Xu Lingfang laughed. She used her hand to gently caress He Xin's cheek and said slowly, "Didn't you do very well? Now, you can bring your secrets to the grave!"
Xu Lingfang's smile suddenly turned cold. Her other hand viciously grabbed towards He Xin's back. Her slender and fair hand instantly turned into a sharp thorn that could easily pierce through a person's skin, muscles and bones, and directly reach for the heart!
Zhu Minglang, who was hiding in the shadows at the corner, almost appeared. But very quickly, Zhu Minglang discovered that there were three other people hiding on the beam of the Sword Pavilion.
The three of them were the great swordsmen who had their tendons severed. One of them should have fully recovered. He quickly jumped down from the beam and grabbed Xu Lingfang's claw with one hand like an iron clamp.
The four of them immediately surrounded Xu Lingfang.
Xu Lingfang's face was pale. She looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in disbelief. They were Sun Xu, Zhong Jun and Chu Ming …..
"Senior Lingfang, just now, we were not sure if our sect had been infiltrated by the Evil Sword Sect. But now, we are a hundred percent sure. You and Master Liao Bei are our targets. How many of you scum from the Evil Sword Sect are still in the sect city? Tell us the truth!!" He Xin suddenly laughed. His eyes were like a hunter staring at his prey.
"What Evil Sword Sect? I was just massaging his back!" Xu Lingfang was still trying to explain.
"Massaging his back? You're clearly trying to silence him. How vicious. We've known each other for so many years ….." He Xin laughed coldly.
"Hmph, aren't you scheming against me too?" Xu Lingfang retorted.
"Tell us quickly. How many of you are still in our sect city?!" He Xin raged.
"Do you really think that we, the Evil Sword Sect, will do things so carelessly? Master Liao Bei is indeed too merciful. Many times, he doesn't know where he stands and let the four of you live. But the rest of us will definitely not make such a low-level mistake! "Xu Lingfang said.
"You're finally willing to admit your true identity!" He Xin said.
"Bring her to see the sect leader!"
"She must tell us all her accomplices!" Zhong Jun said.
The four of them captured Xu Lingfang alive. They were about to leave the Sword Pavilion. But when they reached the door, an invisible force suddenly shook them back.
Zhong Jun was the only one who had recovered his strength. He immediately pulled out his heavy sword and smashed it against the air wall in front of the door. In the end, he was hit by an even stronger force and fell to the ground. His hands immediately went numb and he could not even stand properly.
The four of them were shocked. They did not think that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
"Four famous hunters, you are truly the pride of our Earth Sword Faction. You are different from those idiots who only want to cultivate to a higher realm, who only want to climb to a higher position. Even the Sect Leader, the Vice Sect Leader, and even the Sect Leader could not sense us. Yet, you little sword cultivators were able to see through us. Plus, you are both brave and smart. Truly admirable!" Outside of the Sword Pavilion, a gray-haired man stood there.
The door was wide open. He stood in front of the door. But there was some kind of force that completely separated them.
The grey-haired man held a torch in one hand. The torch was smeared with a thick layer of tree oil. The flame burned vigorously. Moreover, the flame seemed to have been injected with some kind of energy. It was like a hungry spirit beast that wanted to devour everything it could.
"The weather is dry. It is inevitable that there will be some accidents. Later on, as the elder in charge of rewards and punishments, I will give the five of you some silver as compensation." The grey-haired man said.
"Five?" Xu Lingfang heard this sensitive number.
"For the sake of our sect, you are willing to sacrifice a little. Using your life in exchange for these four smart people who ruined our sect's plan. It is worth it. Our sect will remember your contribution … Sigh, Liao Bei is not reliable after all. I have to clean up his mess personally." The grey-haired man said.
