Four hours later, in the Council Chamber of the Stronghold, several managers sat in the seats of honor, with Supreme Mirage as the leader. The rest were the leaders of the nine academies, including Ye Qinglan.
"Lost Mind Demon?" Ye Qinglan said coldly, "Since the appearance of the Lost Mind Disciple ten years ago, we have expected that the Demon Clan would use her on the battlefield one day. According to you, the Demon Clan is suspected to have brought the source of transmission into Red Rock City through the human world. But everyone who enters the city has to go through the test of the Hundred Xiang Micro Array. If there is something wrong with that woman, she would have been found out long ago. Have you found out who brought them in? "
Yan Li entered the city with Liumu Bingjian, so he avoided the test of the Micro Array. Otherwise, the Demon Blood couldn't be hidden.
As the disciples, they could only stand below.
Liumu Bingjian said, "I have. They were disguised as goods by the Hunting Group. I have interrogated the leader. He really didn't know anything. One of his subordinates took the risk because he received a lot of benefits. Now they are all detained in the Bad House and will be dealt with after the war. "
"You have done a good job." Supreme Mirage said with a serious face, "From today on, no matter who enters or leaves the city, they must be tested. As long as they are related to the Demon Clan, even a fly can't be let go!"
"Yes!"
Yan Li secretly thought that he was lucky.
"What did Dragon Elephant Mountain say?" Supreme Mirage asked again.
Su Xingyu said, "Supreme, the Lost Mind Curse only appeared recently, and there is no record of this kind of curse in Dragon Elephant Mountain. First Senior Brother and I have made a preliminary diagnosis. The curse is spread through human fluids. The more intimate the behavior is, the more likely it is to be cursed. After all, the curse is not a poison, and there is no cure for it. "
"If it's just to spread the curse, you can just poison the water," Wen Ziqing said. "I speculate that the conditions for being cursed are relatively harsh. Usually, it doesn't matter if you eat or drink. Only when you feel excited will the curse take effect. Now the solution is to forbid intimate behavior. "
"I'm afraid this method is not appropriate."
It was Qiu Xiangrong, the Palace Master of Autumn Moon Palace.
Everyone looked at her.
She gently played with her hair and said slowly, "Love between a man and a woman is the most primal need. You must know the principle that it's better to let it go. At such a tense moment, the more you pressure them, the more people will break the rules. How are we going to block them with millions of people? Where are we going to find the manpower to supervise and enforce the rules? "
Ye Qinglan frowned. Although he knew what she said was reasonable, he just didn't like her pretentious look. She was already dozens of years old, but she still dressed like a little girl. Didn't he feel disgusted?
"What?" Qiu Xiangrong seemed to feel something and looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile. "Sister Qinglan, do you have a different opinion?"
"Your words are naturally not without reason." Ye Qinglan said calmly, "But wartime is a special situation. Red Rock City is different from other places. Every native is self-aware and will make sacrifices for the Demon-Buster War. It's just abstinence. What's so difficult about that? There's no need to send anyone to supervise them."
"Aiyaya," Qiu Xiangrong gently stroked her delicate face. "I haven't been loved by a man for a long time, so I said 'abstinence'. Or maybe I've never had it at all? If you've tasted it, then … "
"Enough!" Hearing that she was getting more and more outrageous in front of all the disciples, Supreme Mirage Lord said resolutely, "Abstinence can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. But there is no better way now. Let's follow this suggestion first. Those who violate it will be driven out of the city. Our priority must be to ensure the stability of the rear. Palace Master Qiu, Red Rock Fortress is a sacred place that concerns the fortune of the Three Realms. I hope you can behave yourself and be cautious. "
"Yes, yes, yes," Qiu Xiangrong didn't agree in her heart but answered obediently, "I'll do whatever Supreme Mirage says."
The next part was the most important part. Yan Li said immediately, "Supreme Mirage Lord, the spiritual cat is waiting outside."
"Call it in," Supreme Mirage Lord said.
The spiritual cat came in and immediately knelt to Supreme Mirage Lord. "Greetings, Supreme Mirage Lord. Please save my life. I'm willing to tell you everything."
"I promise you," Supreme Mirage Lord said, "As long as the information you provide is valuable, I'll save your life. Now, please stand up and speak. "
The Spirit Cat revealed an expression of relief and stood up. It patted the non-existent dust off its knees and said: "True Lord, I have to start from the moment I was released. They wanted me and Nine Steps to bring a woman back to Red Rock City. They wanted to use Nine Steps' identity to secretly spread the curse. As long as I completed this task, they would set us free. It wasn't until Nine Steps died that I finally realized that they had already planned to kill us. Nine Steps had two tasks, the first was to steal … "
His voice stopped abruptly. His face suddenly turned ashen and a strange sound came from his throat. He strangled his neck with both hands. "Steal …"
"Not good!" Supreme Mirage Lord flicked his hand and a barrier surrounded the spiritual cat. But because it wasn't his real body, this barrier that could block a full blow from a God realm expert could not stop the spiritual cat's life from being taken away.
Yan Li rushed forward and grabbed the spiritual cat's hand. "What do you want to steal? Tell me clearly!"
If the spiritual cat didn't say it, he definitely couldn't say it.
"Yan Shi … be careful …" The spiritual cat's bulging eyes stared at Yan Li. With the last of his strength, he spat out these few words. But the last word couldn't be made out, only the shape of his mouth could be heard.
"Connect?" Yan Li didn't recognize the shape of his mouth. "Connect what? Tell me clearly what connect what? "
"Brother Yan, he's dead." Xue Tianya's expression was solemn. "Looks like his real body was found first. The Demon Race has such influence in the city. I'm afraid our focus is going to be tilted. "
"Seal the city and search every house. Especially those from the Human Realm. Capture them all and interrogate them! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find them for me! "Supreme Mirage Lord said angrily.
"Not good!" At this moment, a disciple rushed in and shouted in panic. "Supreme, our people were ambushed by the Demon Race in the canyon. The leader of the Dragon Elephant Mountain died on the spot in order to cover the retreat of the disciples."
"What?" Su Xingyu felt dizzy and rushed forward to grab him. "What do you think happened to my master?"
"Senior Liu Taiweng died …" The disciple said mournfully.
"Master!" Su Xingyu pushed him away and rushed out with a shout.
"Junior Brother!" Wen Ziqing couldn't stop him. He stomped his feet and cupped his fists towards Supreme Mirage Lord. "Supreme, junior will go stop Junior Brother Su. I'll take my leave for now!" With that, he also rushed out.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive to the extreme.
Yan Li let go of the corpse and grabbed the disciple. "My aunt, Shen Liuyun, how is she? And Lotus Flower Constellation and Cangjian Peak, how are they? "
The disciple gasped for breath with difficulty. "Senior Brother Han Tianzi brought reinforcements from the first garrison and arrived in time to gather most of the disciples. Only, only …"
"Only what? Quickly say it!" Yan Li shouted.
"Only the disciples of Lotus Flower Constellation can't be found …"
"Brother Yan, calm down!" Two hands were placed on Yan Li's shoulders.
Liumu Bingjian was slightly surprised. He looked at Xue Tianya and said, "Our team was formed for this kind of situation. Let me make some preparations and we will depart."
"I've heard about it. Bingjian, can you bring me along?" Xue Tianya asked.
"That's exactly what I want!"
Liumu Bingjian cupped his fists towards Baili Junmo. "Supreme, saving people is like putting out a fire. Please give the order."
Baili Junmo thought for a while and said, "You must be careful." Then he turned to Qiu Xiangrong. "Palace Master Qiu, you go with them. Prioritize the safety of the disciples. Don't be impulsive."
"Don't worry, Supreme. I know what to do."
…
The cold wind was like a blade. It tore apart the greenery and repaired it to their satisfaction.
The Red Rock Canyon was thousands of feet deep. At the bottom of it was a dry gravel beach. Thousands of years ago, when the West Celestial World was still the West Celestial World, this was a lively river that flowed endlessly to the end of the sky. Now, it was more than 100,000 miles to the west. It was a desolate scene. However, this desolation was also deeply buried under the snow.
At both ends of the canyon, the thick snow had already covered the original color of the ground.
Red soil was very rare. Only during the summer of the next year would the temperature drop. During the hottest time of the day, the red rocks could be seen.
It snowed continuously for the whole night.
"It will be easier to walk after the sun rises." Liumu Bingjian let out a breath of cold air. Because she could only use a small amount of Innate Qi to maintain her body temperature to deal with the danger that might appear at any time, her nose was also red from the cold.
Yan Li took off his big coat and put it on her. However, he still remained silent.
Liumu Bingjian naturally hugged him and thanked him softly. She knew what Yan Li was worried about and tried to divert his attention. "Doctor Su is an orphan. He was adopted by Senior Taiweng since he was young. They are not father and son, but they are more like father and son. He is a man of great faith. His faith is himself. He is very firm in what he is doing. He believes in his own righteousness and carries it out. This is what I admire about him the most. That is why when I see him so depressed and haggard, I deeply feel that cultivators are also human. "
"Cultivators are also human," Yan Li repeated.
"Conflict, blood, conflict, gratitude, love, pain, worry, and sorrow," Liumu Bingjian said, "I have never seen a cultivator who is free from vulgarity. Have you seen one, Brother Yan?"
"Humans are made like this." Yan Li said, "Perhaps cultivators have never been free from vulgarity."
Liumu Bingjian smiled and said, "The abundance of emotions is what distinguishes humans from beasts. And this is what I admire most about humans. "
Yan Li also smiled, but he soon restrained his smile. He stopped and looked through the heavy snow. "What is that?"
Liumu Bingjian followed the direction and looked over. Her divine sense could penetrate farther, so she saw clearly in an instant. "The Devil Tribe!"
"Disperse!"
Qiu Xiangrong raised his hand and made a gesture to surround them.
Everyone spread out and gathered around the target.
As they got closer, they saw a group of monsters without fur, squatting there and gnawing on the dead bodies.
Judging from their clothes, they were clearly the nine top disciples.
