Chapter 119

Who was Hei Ya? He immediately noticed the murderous intent in Zhan Chen's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhan Chen with confusion.

Zhan Chen immediately realized that he had exposed himself. He quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions.

Then, Liao Wudao said happily, "Hei Ya, you're back!"

Hei Ya turned around and bowed to Liao Wudao. "Faction Leader, I rushed back as soon as you summoned me. What's the matter?"

Liao Wudao said, "There are two things. The first is that the Jin Family Sect has strengthened their border protection. This time, Gou Yang E led the attack, but they suffered heavy losses. Even Elder Mu died in the line of duty. We need to discuss how to deal with the Golden Elephant Sect.

"The second thing is more important. I heard that the Sage Sect is going to send an envoy to Rakshasa Country to inspect. It's very likely that they will come here.

That's why I summoned the two of you here. First, we need to tighten our defense. Second, we need to discuss how to deal with the envoy. "

Hei Ya said, "We'll discuss these two things later. But Faction Leader, I don't think it's appropriate to accept Zhan Chen as our disciple. He's an unstable factor!"

"What did you say? There's no problem with the person I recommend! "Liao Wudao didn't say anything, but Gou Yang E was agitated.

When he first came in, he was scolded by Liao Wudao. Later, he brought up Zhan Chen and listed the benefits of accepting Zhan Chen. Only then did Liao Wudao see the light of day.

Now, Hei Ya rejected his suggestion. Wasn't this a slap to his face?

As the Evil Spirit Sect's Left and Right Protectors, the two of them had always fought for power. Now, they were at loggerheads.

"Alright! What's wrong with arguing in the hall? "Liao Wudao raised his hand and stopped the two of them from arguing.

Then, he asked Hei Ya, "Hei Ya, tell me what you think."

Hei Ya said, "Faction Leader, this is a critical time. Zhan Chen was born in the Back Yan Kingdom and is the leader of the Golden Elephant Sect's elite disciples. I don't think Li Jianshu will kill him over a small matter. He's most likely a spy sent by the Golden Elephant Sect!"

Zhan Chen's heart skipped a beat when the old man exposed his secret. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure on the surface.

Hei Ya turned around and looked at Zhan Chen. and said, "Zhan Chen Ya, so what if Zhan Chen really wants to join us? We have full confidence in dealing with the Golden Elephant Sect, so there's no need to keep this hidden danger by our side. Therefore, I suggest that he be executed to prevent future troubles! "

His words made sense, and Liao Wudao fell silent. This made Zhan Chen anxious, and he couldn't help but feel a little hopeless. Master, you've killed your disciple! I told you long ago that this plan wouldn't work. "

He could only hope that Liao Wudao wouldn't listen to Hei Ya.

The faction leader thought for a while and seemed to have made a decision. He pointed at Zhan Chen and said, "You, come up here. I have something to ask you."

"Yes!" Zhan Chen walked up the stairs anxiously and stood in front of Liao Wudao. All of a sudden, the latter reached out and grabbed his wrist. Staring into his eyes with a pair of eagle eyes, he asked, "Zhan Chen, are you a spy sent by the Golden Elephant Sect?!"

Zhan Chen felt as if he was being seen through. Two streams of black qi shot out from Liao Wudao's eyes, burrowing into his own. Then, he felt as if something evil had invaded his sea of consciousness. His mind was in a daze, and it felt as if all the secrets in his memories were about to be revealed. Zhan Chen was shocked.

Zhan Chen didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly recited the Diamond Sutra in his mind. His will became strong again, and he blocked Liao Wudao's mind attack.

But on the surface, in order to hide it from Liao Wudao, he pretended that he was under the spell. He struggled for a while and pretended to be confused.

Liao Wudao laughed and asked again, "Zhan Chen, are you a spy sent by the Golden Elephant Sect?"

"The Golden Elephant Sect?" Zhan Chen suddenly became agitated. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Golden Elephant Sect is hindering me from taking revenge. The Golden Elephant Sect and I are enemies!"

Liao Wudao was surprised. He finally stopped his mind attack on Zhan Chen.

After a while, Zhan Chen seemed to wake up. He looked at Liao Wudao and asked, "Faction Leader, what happened to me just now?"

"Hahaha, Zhan Chen, it's nothing. You are a good disciple of the Vengeful Spirit Sect!" Liao Wudao smiled at him. He then turned to Gou Yang 'E and Hei Ya and said, "There is no need to discuss this anymore. I have decided to let Zhan Chen join the Vengeful Spirit Sect and give him the treatment of an elite disciple!"

Hei Ya still had some objections. He insisted, "Faction Leader!"

"I have made up my mind! Say no more! "Liao Wudao shouted at him.

Hei Ya was speechless. Wu Yang 'E, who was standing beside him, looked at him and thought, Old man Hei Ya, you've been defeated, haven't you?

"Alright, Zhan Chen, you may leave now. Go to the disciples to collect your cave abode and your monthly allowance. I have something to discuss with the two Grand Elders!" Liao Wudao said to Zhan Chen.

"Thank you, Faction Leader!" Zhan Chen felt like he had just been pardoned. He quickly left the hall.

After leaving the hall, he still had lingering fears. If it were not for the fact that he had cultivated the Diamond Sutra, he would have been crushed by Liao Wudao's demonic will. Fortunately, he had passed the test.

Following that, Zhan Chen headed over to the disciple's area to collect his identity token, a copy of the Demonic Sect's secret manual, and some pills before heading straight for his cave abode. The elite disciples' cultivation room was located on the sixth floor of the basement. It had all the necessary facilities, and there were even female demonic cultivators to serve them.

However, none of these were of concern to Zhan Chen. After chasing the female cultivators out of the cultivation room, he closed the door and sat on the futon. He began to think, I've entered the headquarters of the Malicious Spirit Sect. However, that old man Hei Ya is already suspicious of me and wants to get rid of me. I have to be careful so that he doesn't have any evidence against me. I just need to focus on my cultivation and break through to the Martial Honored Realm as soon as possible!

Entering the depths of the demonic sect made him feel a sense of danger. After cultivating for so long, he felt that he was very close to the Martial Honored Realm. Perhaps in a few more months, he would be able to break through.

Therefore, he took out a low-grade Primary Stone from his Qiankun Pouch, absorbed the Spiritual Qi from it, and began to cultivate. Although using Primary Stones to cultivate was the most efficient, most Martial Masters would not do so because the price was too high.

However, Zhan Chen had no choice but to do so because absorbing the Earth Spiritual Qi here would cause him to be contaminated by the Yin Qi.

Therefore, in the following days, he lived a secluded life of cultivation. Only in between his cultivation sessions, he would walk around the various floors of the Heavenly Ghost Cave. Gradually, he memorized the entire structure and deployment of the cave in his mind. These would all be of help to the righteous sects in the future to destroy the Malicious Spirit Sect.

Time passed day by day, and Zhan Chen's cultivation continued to consolidate …

In a luxuriously decorated cultivation cave on the eighth floor of the Heavenly Ghost Cave, Hei Ya sat on a futon with his eyes closed. An inner disciple knelt in front of him.

However, he heard Hei Ya ask, "Qiu Ming, I want you to follow Zhan Chen. Have you noticed anything unusual about his recent actions?"

The disciple called Qiu Ming replied, "Elder, Zhan Chen has locked himself in the cave all day to cultivate. However, I am curious. Now that more than a month has passed, he still hasn't transformed the True Qi in his body into Demonic Qi. Moreover, whenever he has time, he will wander around and ask about our sect's secrets."

Hei Ya suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He shouted, "Hmph! This Zhan Chen is indeed different. That day when I first met him, I felt his killing intent towards me. It's a pity that the Sect Leader is smart, but he was foolish for a moment and let that Golden Elephant Sect spy in. "

After a pause, Hei Ya asked Qiu Ming, "Have you been discovered by him?"

Qiu Ming smiled and said, "I will obey the Great Elder's orders and be very careful. He shouldn't have noticed it yet."

"Good! I will report this matter to the Sect Leader and get rid of this disaster! "Hei Ya said fiercely. It was obvious that he was thinking for the sake of the Malicious Spirit Sect. Having such a Great Elder was a blessing for the Malicious Spirit Sect, but it was a disaster for Zhan Chen.

Not long after, Hei Ya appeared in Liao Wudao's cave and reported to him about Zhan Chen's suspicions.

After a while, Zhan Chen was summoned to the main hall. When he arrived, he saw that Liao Wudao was already sitting on the main seat. Below him stood Hei Ya and Qiu Ming.

When Zhan Chen saw Qiu Ming, he felt that he looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that he had met him a few times before. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to him. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had been careless.

At that moment, he heard Liao Wudao say to him, "Zhan Chen, I called you here today because Elder Hei Ya has something to talk to you about."

Zhan Chen suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked Hei Ya respectfully, "What does the Elder want?"

"Hmph! Zhan Chen, Qiu Ming came to report you to me today. He said that you often go in and out of the sect's important places to investigate. Combined with your background, I can't help but suspect your intentions. "

Zhan Chen's mind raced and he replied, "Reporting to the Great Elder, I have just arrived. Of course, I have to walk around and ask around to familiarize myself with the surroundings. I think that my actions are very normal and there is nothing wrong with them."

Hei Ya was stunned, but he asked again, "Then why don't you practice our Demon Sect's inner force? Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Golden Elephant Sect? "

Hei Ya's words resonated with Liao Wudao. He couldn't help but look at Zhan Chen, wanting to know how he would answer this question.

"Because …" Zhan Chen found it hard to think of a suitable answer.
