After walking through the main entrance of Taojia Village, Yi Tian glanced inside and saw that there were dilapidated houses everywhere. The walls inside were also scorched black.
The main residence of Taojia Village was even more messy. The fire on the eaves was still burning, and the broken pillars were also lying on the ground.
A group of mortals from Taojia Village were kneeling on the large open space in front of the main residence, looking at Yi Tian with panic and uneasiness.
Gao Shou, on the other hand, was meditating and resting on the side, not caring about these mortals at all. He was still holding two spirit stones in his hand, absorbing spiritual energy.
There were also a few charred corpses on the roof, emitting a burnt stench.
Yi Tian knew it was Shen Peiqi's masterpiece. After seeing him break in from the back door, she was really messing around, throwing fireballs everywhere.
The middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Tao Family exchanged three moves with him, and in the end, he actually used the Corpse School's Corpse Refining Technique, commanding the bronze-armored corpse that came out of nowhere to pounce on Shen Peiqi.
For some reason, Shen Peiqi suddenly rose up, drew her spirit sword, and used the Red Sun Fire Sword, chopping the refined corpse into pieces with one move.
Then, she rushed up and set the Foundation Establishment cultivator's whole body on fire. The fire still hadn't extinguished until now.
However, the cultivator's arm that was wearing a storage bracelet was directly chopped off by Shen Peiqi. Now, she and Yan Jungang were checking the things inside.
Gao Shou told Yi Tian that he and Yan Jungang broke in from the main entrance, and he dealt with three ninth stage Qi Refining cultivators by himself.
They only lasted for fifteen minutes before they were defeated one by one.
However, when Yi Tian asked about the situation of Yan Jungang and Tao Anru's fight, Gao Shou clearly shuddered.
That scene was too terrifying. He could only feel the aura from Gao Family's Gao Qingshan, the ancestor of Jin Dan, but he could also feel it from Yan Jungang.
Just now, Yan Jungang's murderous aura, coupled with his Thunder Magic, had caused Tao Anru to only be able to withstand two moves even if he had used all his strength.
In the end, the White Bone Gate's White Bone Shield was pierced through by Yan Jungang's Lightning Gold Hammer. Even the White Bone Shield's head was smashed.
Yi Tian, who was in the sky, even saw some cultivators taking advantage of the darkness to run outside.
As a result, they bumped into the Trapping Array and failed to escape. Gao Shou and Shen Peiqi, who caught up from behind, finished them off one by one.
Yi Tian calculated that it had been forty-five minutes since the three of them rushed in.
Capturing the fleeing cultivators had taken up most of their time. Taking into account the five main cultivators from the Pot Family, it would take them around 15 minutes.
This gave Yi Tian a new understanding of the commanders of the Discipline Hall. These people were professional killers. If they were not training, they were fighting. It was no wonder they were so fierce.
After the situation was settled, the remaining mortals from the Pot Family were gathered in front of the main residence. As for the cultivators who dared to resist, they were killed on the spot.
The remaining cultivators' eyes were filled with hatred and helplessness. They stood in two groups with the mortals, waiting for their fates to be judged.
In any case, with the Foundation Establishment cultivator Gao Shou watching, no one dared to make a move.
When he walked into the main hall of the Pot Family, he saw Yan Jungang and Shen Peiqi discussing how to deal with these people. Yi Tian didn't want to say anything.
The four people team had a tacit understanding. Captain Yan Jungang was the main pillar of the team. He made all the decisions.
Yi Tian saw him take out a few letters from Tao Anru's storage bracelet and put them away.
Looking at the covers of the letters, they were the same as the ones in Yi Tian's hands. It was probably a secret order from the White Bone Gate.
After Shen Peiqi handed a letter to Yan Jungang, the latter opened it and glanced at it before putting it away.
There was definitely some important information in the letters. Although Yi Tian wanted to know more, it wasn't a good time to ask. He could only wait until he had some free time.
Shen Peiqi went to the main residence's rear courtyard for a while and then hastily returned.
She had a few more storage pouches in her hands, but they were all given to Yan Jungang.
Yi Tian knew that the storage pouches contained several generations of the Tao Family's savings. They were all confiscated by the Chiyang School.
A short moment later, he saw Yan Jungang's expression relax as if he had made a decision.
Afterwards, he ordered Gao Shou and Shen Peiqi to send the mortals of the Tao Family to a nearby mortal kingdom. The local king would deal with them.
As for the cultivators with cultivation, they were all detained and sent to the sect's spirit stone mines under Shen Peiqi's watch. They were to be made to mine for their crimes.
If they could hold out for 20 years and perform well, the sect would let them go. Otherwise, they would be prepared to die in the mines.
This time, with the cooperation of the three people, the mission was successfully completed. Yan Jungang was also an emperor. He didn't lack hungry soldiers.
After taking out the storage pouches, each person could choose two treasures from them.
If they didn't want any treasures, then each treasure would be worth 3,000 spirit stones. Whether the treasures were good or not depended on their own eyes.
Under Yan Jungang's signal, Yi Tian would choose first, Shen Peiqi second, and Gao Shou third.
Yi Tian didn't refuse. He extended his Spiritual Sense into the storage pouches and slowly looked through the seized treasures.
After searching for a while, Yi Tian saw a simple token with the word 'Qian' on it.
The texture was very unusual, but there were no fluctuations of spirit qi on it.
Since it was found in the Tao Family's treasury, it certainly wasn't simple. Yi Tian's idea was to keep it first and take it back to slowly study it when he had time.
The second item was a piece of Rank Four Demonic Beast skin. It recorded the method of making a talisman treasure called Thousand Nail Ruler.
As long as the materials were gathered, even if they hadn't reached Jin Dan's cultivation level, Foundation Establishment Cultivators could use the Spirit Gathering Formation to refine talisman treasures.
However, the effect was definitely worse than the talisman refined by Jin Dan. It only needed 70% of the spirit qi of an ordinary talisman treasure.
After seeing Yi Tian choose, the other two didn't refuse and went up to choose. Shen Peiqi chose a piece of Mysterious Iron Essence that weighed one kilogram and Star Iron that weighed one kilogram.
It seemed that he was preparing to refine a high level spirit weapon. On the contrary, Gao Shou was the most practical. After looking in the storage pouches, he directly asked Yan Jungang for 6,000 spirit stones.
Yi Tian also sighed. He was a practical person. His eyesight wasn't good, so he simply took the most reliable thing.
After this matter was over, Yan Jungang left Gao Shou and Shen Peiqi to deal with the aftermath. He called Yi Tian and the two of them flew back to the World Edge Pavilion.
After returning, he didn't let Yi Tian return to the sect. Instead, he invited him to his Guardian Residence.
Yi Tian understood that he had something to say, so he directly followed him in.
The two of them arrived at Yan Jungang's private guest room. Under the master's indication, Yi Tian sat down and quietly waited.
Yan Jungang looked at Yi Tian and pondered for a moment. Then, he took out a few letters from his storage bracelet and handed them to Yi Tian, asking him to read them first.
After taking the letters, Yi Tian looked at them. The contents were actually similar to the letters that Guo Wenliang and Yang Mingyang had given him.
It was mainly about how to meet up with the Seven Evil Witch in the Six Sects' Secret Realm trial. There was also information about kidnapping Wu Xing.
It seemed that the White Bone Gate really didn't change. After Yi Tian finished reading the letters, he directly handed them back and sat down to wait for the rest.
This made Yan Jungang freeze. Then, he looked at Yi Tian thoughtfully.
After a moment, he asked Yi Tian if he already knew about this.
Seeing his serious look, Yi Tian couldn't keep up the act anymore.
He directly took out Yang Mingyang's letters from his storage bracelet and handed them to Yan Jungang.
While he was reading the letters, Yi Tian slowly boiled tea. After the tea boiled, he poured a cup for the two of them.
After taking a sip, he told Yan Jungang what had happened. "I killed Yang Mingyang in the Iron Sword Gate's territory."
He then told Yang Mingyang how he and his enemy, Jiu Wumin, had fought Yang Mingyang together.
Yang Mingyang's eyes widened, not willing to miss a single detail.
When he finished, he even praised Yi Tian, "The three of you are too daring. However, I'm sure you've eaten enough."
His gaze made Yi Tian feel uncomfortable. Yan Jungang stood up and paced around the room.
After thinking for a few minutes, he relaxed and stared at Yi Tian for a while before saying, "Since you've already gotten involved in this matter, it won't be easy for you to stay out of it. Since that's the case, I wonder if you dare to challenge the trial in the Secret Realm?"
Seeing Yi Tian nod without even blinking, Yan Jungang let out a sigh of relief.
He had been worried that Yi Tian would refuse to go to the Secret Realm. After all, it was a matter of mutual consent.
He couldn't force someone to go. A forcibly picked melon would not be sweet.
After that, Yan Jungang explained his plan to Yi Tian. Since the White Bone Gate's letter was so important, Yang Mingyang decided to go with Yi Tian.
He would send Yi Tian to infiltrate the Seven Evil Witch's treasure hunting party and take the opportunity to find out how many spies there were in the sect.
Even if he couldn't destroy the Seven Evil Witch's treasure hunting mission, as long as he could eliminate these spies for the sect, the mission would be considered complete.
Furthermore, he promised that as long as Yi Tian came out of the Secret Realm, he would ask for a Foundation Establishment Pill for Yi Tian.
Hearing this, Yi Tian could only pretend to be excited. A Foundation Establishment Pill was dispensable to him.
However, he couldn't give himself away. Otherwise, the person in front of him wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Then, Yan Jungang took out a name list filled with densely packed names.
Some of their names were crossed out with a horizontal line, while others had a circle around their names. His own name was written in red.
Seeing that he couldn't understand it, Yan Jungang explained, "This is the name list of all the outer sect disciples who have entered the Scarlet Sun Sect in the past twenty years. Those who are already dead, those who are circled are the main suspects, and those in red are those who have passed the investigation."
After this explanation, Yi Tian suddenly understood. Then, Yi Tian looked at the circled names. He Xinsheng, Zhao Xinmeng, Guo Wenliang, Sun Haojie, and a familiar name at the bottom, Wan Rui.
Other than Wu Xing, his friends' names were all marked in red. He turned around and asked, "Wu Xing shouldn't be a suspect, right?"
However, Yan Jungang's answer was, "Wu Xing definitely has a secret. Otherwise, why would the White Bone Gate give the order to kidnap him?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian was speechless.
Yi Tian didn't want to argue with him. He took out a talisman pen and added ink to it. He also drew a line between Guo Wenliang and Sun Haojie's names.
This time, it was Yan Jungang's turn to be speechless. His mouth was wide open as he looked at Yi Tian in disbelief.
After Yi Tian took out their sect tokens, the letter from the White Bone Gate, and the White Bone Gate's White Bone Technique jade slip, Yan Jungang couldn't stand it anymore.
After checking, Yan Jungang's expression relaxed. He then smiled at Yi Tian and said, "We are now grasshoppers on the same string. No one can escape. Only by finding the traitor can we continue to live a peaceful life."
It seemed that Yi Tian's actions had gained the other party's approval. Therefore, the following conversation was very relaxed.
Yan Jungang told Yi Tian that he was the adopted son of the Sect Leader, Yang Yanzi. There were many things that the Jin Dan Elders would give him some face.
Ever since the White Bone Gate was exposed, he had been chasing after them, but the results were minimal.
This time, he found a clue from the Tao Family. Therefore, he wanted to take drastic measures and wipe out all these people.
After listening to Yan Jungang's words, Yi Tian also analyzed the information he knew.
He also deliberately mentioned Zhao Xinmeng's betrayal and the problem of the three contacts.
He hoped that he could let her go. Moreover, with Zhao Xinmeng, he could use sowing discord to force the other party to show up. The most important thing now was to find 'Ye Xiao'.
Yi Tian also told Yan Jungang his speculation. One of the three people, Pan Qiang of the Pill Hall, Jin Sheng of the Discipline Hall, and Pei Ming of the Tool Hall, was Ye Xiao.
After listening to Yi Tian's speculation, Yan Jungang realized the seriousness of the situation. He also told Yi Tian not to act rashly for the time being.
Yi Tian would deal with the Qi Condensation Stage spy, and he would investigate the Foundation Establishment Stage suspect.
He also told Yi Tian, "That Jin Sheng of the Discipline Hall is the disciple of the Vice Sect Leader, Li Yanzi. If this matter reaches the level of the Jin Dan, then it is not something that we can control. Moreover, Martial Uncle and Yang Yanzi have been fighting for their entire lives. It is best for the younger generation not to get involved. "
