"Wait, I'm coming as well" Liu Qing Yan bit her lip and barely managed to stand up.
Gu Qing Shan turned around, saw the pain in her beautiful eyes and spoke very seriously: "No, you're not allowed to come, stay here and rest up"
Ignoring her disappointment, he left the camp alone and stood in front of an empty field.
Picking up a Spirit Beast Bag, Gu Qing Shan infused his spirit energy into it.
A fiery red fox appeared.
"You — — -" seeing a stranger, the fox wanted to speak.
"Lee Chang An violated military orders, so I've already killed him. Right now I'm looking for an accomplice, you obviously aren't one, please return to the Spirit Beast Bag" Gu Qing Shan spoke.
Hearing that, the fox rolled his eyes and said: "If he's dead, then I'll return to Spirit Beast sect by myself"
"No, you're a spirit beast, you can't move without permission"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I'll use the fastest way to send the Spirit Beast Bag back to the cultivator of Spirit Beast sect, please return to the Spirit Beast Bag"
The fox didn't listen to her and turned around to run, saying: "I'll go by myself, always carrying it inside the Spirit Beast Bag is really — — -"
A cold gleam flashed. The fox suddenly jumped back, but was caught by the cold gleam and slashed into a rain of blood.
Gu Qing Shan threw the Spirit Beast Bag away.
He then opened the rest of the Spirit Beast Bags.
A blue-eyed tiger and a few other non-combat-type spirit beasts looked at Gu Qing Shan.
"What happened?" the blue-eyed tiger asked.
"Nothing, just looking for the culprit of the camp attack, what were originally inside these Spirit Beast Bags?" Gu Qing Shan looked at them and asked.
He was also holding a few more Spirit Beast Bags, but they were all empty.
"You'll have to ask our master, we've been staying inside the Spirit Beast Bag all this time, we don't know what other spirit beasts he took in"
Saying so, the blue-eyed tiger looked at the fox's body.
It evaluated Gu Qing Shan, then exchanged glances with the other spirit beasts.
"Alright, go back to the Spirit Beast Bags" seeing that she couldn't get anything out of them, Gu Qing Shan said.
The Spirit Beasts fell silent and returned to their respective Spirit Beast Pouches.
Bai Hai Dong and a few female cultivators stayed in the camp. They were still in shock when Gu Qing Shan came back.
Gu Qing Shan said with a heavy heart, "Let's take a rest and continue our journey during the day."
Nothing unexpected happened on the second day.
The group moved forward carefully and arrived at the camp at noon.
When he arrived, he realized that the place was already overcrowded.
Two enforcers immediately stepped forward and led them to the camp's main tent.
In the main tent, a general took the military orders from Gu Qing Shan and the others and examined their waist tokens.
This general wore a blue Daoist robe, and his armor was not on.
"You are Gu Qing Shan?" The general squinted at him.
"I am" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Judging from your attire, you must be from the Azure Cloud Sect."
The general leaned back on his chair, looking at him with a meaningful look.
"I am Azure Cloud Sect's Wu Xing Wen, in charge of this battle's rewards and punishments" Wu Xing Wen said.
"Ah? So you're a Ding Yuan General? "Gu Qing Shan acted like she didn't understand what he meant and asked.
General ranks are divided into 4 ranks, from lowest to highest, they are: You Ji, Ding Yuan, Yong Zhen and Shen Wei.
Gongsun Zhi was a Ding Yuan General, while Ning Yuechan wore the Golden Armor and was a You Ji General.
The only Yong Zhen General of the current era died in the last battle, so the highest ranking general of humanity right now is a Ding Yuan General.
"Gu Qing Shan, I remember you did quite well during the semester examination" Wu Xing Wen looked at her and continued.
"I did, I killed one of your people, what are you trying to say?" Gu Qing Shan was impatient.
If you have the ability then use it, if you don't then just say something to scare people, do you really think I'm a greenhorn who hasn't seen the world?
Wu Xing Wen paused, then suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "The number of people you originally had doesn't match up with the actual number of people here, what was the delay?"
Delay?
During a military mission, once you're labeled as a delay, you'll be punished.
Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed, not accepting this accusation.
He said: "We didn't delay"
"Then where are they?" Wu Xing Wen asked.
"They're dead"
"How did they die?"
"One of them was killed by the demons, and the other one was executed by me according to military law"
Wu Xing Wen waved his hand and ordered: "Men, Heart Inquisition"
Heart Inquisition is a very crucial part of military interrogation.
When cultivators go out to fight against demons, as soon as they kill their own people, no matter who they are, they'll have to go through Heart Inquisition.
If the other party really did violate military law, then it's fine, they might even get a reward.
But if they have selfish motives and a personal grudge, purposely killing or harming others, then they'll have to pay with their life.
Very quickly, a cultivator came in, sitting across from Gu Qing Shan.
His eyes were abnormally bright, as if he can see into the deepest part of a person's heart.
"Alright, speak, I'll decide for myself if you're telling the truth or not" the cultivator said casually.
Gu Qing Shan knows that he has a God's Chosen Skill that can tell if he's lying, so she told him everything.
The cultivator asked a lot of questions, to which Gu Qing Shan answered all of them.
Finally, the cultivator nodded and told Wu Xing Wen: "They're all true"
Wu Xing Wen looked at the cultivator in disappointment, not saying anything.
The cultivator nodded again, saying: "He's not lying"
Wu Xing Wen then begrudgingly said: "That Li Chu Chen brat, what's wrong with his head, trying to kill his own comrade"
His eyebrows were scrunched up, his face full of exhaustion and confusion.
He already doesn't want to make things difficult for Gu Qing Shan anymore. After all, she's Hundred Flowers Fairy's disciple, making things difficult for her is a good thing, but if he can't do it, then there's no need to force it.
What he needs to worry about right now is business.
Wu Xing Wen muttered in a low voice: "What's going on at the frontline lately, quite a few camps are having problems with formation plates malfunctioning, even those that are traveling like this have their formation plates malfunctioning, they can't all be traitors, right?"
If that's true, humanity will be in complete chaos.
The decisive battle is going to happen in the next two days.
But with the current situation, there's no need to wait for the decisive battle, as long as this news is confirmed, humanity's camp will collapse on its own.
They were supposed to be preparing for the decisive battle, but with the current situation, is it still suitable to do so?
Gu Qing Shan silently sat there, not saying a word.
Wu Xing Wen took Gu Qing Shan's badge, formed a few hand seals on it, then reluctantly said: "Finding out the traitor, saving your comrade, 10 Merit points"
Saying so, he tossed the badge back.
Gu Qing Shan took the badge back and checked it with his inner sight. Inside the badge, he saw that his total Merit had reached 115.
She still needs 65 more to reach the 180 Merit required to become a "Zhen Wei Chaplain".
"That's enough, take them to their tents"
Wu Xing Wen decided to ignore it, waving his hand to signal the cultivators on his left and right to chase them away.
A guard cultivator led them away.
Wu Xing Wen stayed silent for a bit, then suddenly sighed.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?" a guard cultivator asked in a low voice.
Now that everyone else has left, the only ones left in the tent are his fellow disciples from Blue Clouds Pass.
Wu Xing Wen shook his head, still a bit unwilling.
He sighed, saying: "How pitiful, junior brother only passed last year's semester examination, but he's already gone"
The cultivators exchanged glances, then went silent.
