Chapter 96 Find the traitor
There are only three female disciples in the No. 16 Mine Cave, one is Zheng Yiran, and the other two women belong to the other two teams. They have almost no contact with him, so it is impossible to understand his whereabouts.
Although Zheng Yiran belongs to Yu Yuan's team and is not the same team as him, because she has rescued her in the Demon City, she is very close to her. After entering the No. 16 Mine, she often comes to chat with her and discusses the problems in her cultivation.
Because she is a beautiful woman with picturesque eyes and skin that is better than snow, and she has been kind to her, she never thought that she would be unfavorable to her. How many men are so cruel to the beauty who came to her on their own initiative that she would not date her? So after a while, the friendship between the two has risen sharply. Jiang Chen even attracted the jealousy of many disciples.
Therefore, although Jiang Chen had doubted many people, he had never doubted this junior sister Zheng Yiran who had received his favor. If it weren't for confirming that the notes of the transmission were sent by Jiang Wei, if it weren't for him, he would have been a person who could definitely trust after handing over his soul and soul. Jiang Chen would have doubted that this was a counter-espionage plan.
"However, in terms of timing, Zheng Yiran has this possibility. On the day I left, I happened to meet her. Although I met other disciples along the way, I didn't ask where I went... But how could she collude with Gu Hao and become his eyes and ears next to me?" Jiang Chen was a little puzzled.
Based on his understanding of Zheng Yiran during this period, she doesn't look like a person who repays grudges and revenges no matter how she looks.
"I can use a plan to test it out, so that I can tell whether Zheng Yiran is Gu Hao's inner companion!" After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen stretched his eyebrows and thought about it.
About half an hour later, Jiang Chen went to a secluded cave room in the mine, which was the array eye that controlled a certain section of the ban in the mine No. 16. Zheng Yiran was responsible for stationing here.
Walking into the cave room, a pretty woman wearing a pink silk skirt appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes. The woman who could be attracted by Yuan Cun and other disciples of the Demon Corpse Peak was naturally extremely beautiful.
Although she is far inferior to Zi Xi and Shui Yuening, to be fair, there are really not many women in the Heavenly Demon Sect who are more beautiful than her.
But now, the beautiful female cultivator frowned and looked ahead with a blank look. Even Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to it when he came in. It seemed that he was worried.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but frowned slightly. With her in such a distraught state, if the Blood Shadow Sect attacked, how could he resist it?
"Junior Sister Zheng!" Jiang Chen had no choice but to cough twice to remind her.
Zheng Yiran came to her senses only. She turned her head and saw Jiang Chen, but she was shocked and said: "Senior Brother Jiang, you are finally back!"
"Yes!" Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Then... Brother Jiang, have you encountered danger on the way?" Zheng Yiran asked in panic in his eyes.
Although the panic flashed in her eyes, Jiang Chen still keenly captured it.
"Well, I encountered someone sneak attack on the way down the mountain, but fortunately, two casual cultivators I met before came to pick me up, and finally killed the sneak attacker and was safe and sound!"
"That's good! I've been worried these days!" Zheng Yiran breathed lightly, as if feeling relieved. However, Jiang Chen found that there was something artificial in her expression.
"Hmph! Are you still playing this with me?" Jiang Chen felt funny in his heart. Then he touched his chin and said, "Junior Sister Zheng, after this attack, Jiang felt that he could not stay in the mine every day to refine elixirs. Now the Blood Shadow Sect is very likely to attack. He still has to practice the magic well!"
"Well, what my senior brother is saying!" Zheng Yiran showed a hint of surprise in his beautiful eyes, thinking to himself what Jiang Chen meant?
"But over the past month, I have either been lying in the mine to refine elixirs or going out to buy medicinal materials. Now I want to practice my spells well, and I don't know where the mountain is more suitable... After all, I can't cast spells in the mine... Then why didn't the mine collapse?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "Junior Sister Zheng, you have more free time than me. I believe you are already familiar with the nearby terrain. Can you introduce me to a more secluded place for cultivation that is rarely disturbed by people?"
"Of course I know! But now I have to be on duty now, so I can't separate myself!" Zheng Yiran was completely relieved when he heard that it was such a small matter, but he said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, it's okay! When the shift changers come, let's go all the way! Anyway, the shift change time is almost done!" Jiang Chen said calmly.
After about an hour, the next class of disciples came to take over.
After Zheng Yiran was replaced, he happily agreed to Jiang Chen's request. The two of them walked out of the No. 16 mine together and headed to the hillside.
Zheng Yiran led Jiang Chen to a cliff, and finally arrived at a cliff. The terrain was dangerous, with many thick pine trees growing nearby, but there was an open space of more than 30 feet in radius on the top of the cliff. It was just enough to be used to cast spells.
Jiang Chen looked around for a while, then tried to cast the Ghost Fire Technique and the Netherworld Ghost Claw several times, and said with satisfaction: "This place is not bad, very quiet, and the open space is large enough. I will come here to practice when I take a break!"
"Well, if Senior Brother Jiang doesn't object, you should call me together when you come to practice spells! We can still make the most of it!" Zheng Yiran's eyes flashed with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.
"Okay! It's just that we are not in the same group, so it's difficult to be together after taking a break!" After hearing this, Jiang Chen said with a teasing smile on his face.
"This... If Senior Brother Jiang takes the initiative to ask Uncle Yan, we will transfer me... to the same group, so that we can take a break together?" Zheng Yiran's pretty face suddenly turned red and she said shyly.
"Okay! No problem! I'll talk to Uncle Yan now!" Jiang Chen said with joy, "If those brothers knew that Junior Sister Zheng offered to be on duty with me, I still don't know how they would be jealous and envious of me."
After hearing this, Zheng Yiran's eyes flashed and her cherry mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she closed her mouth.
When Yan Ming learned that Jiang Chen wanted to take the rotation with Zheng Yiran and got Zheng Yiran's consent, he laughed and said, "Mr. Jiang! I didn't expect that you also like Yiran. This little girl is a flower in our No. 16 mine! As far as I know, there are at least ten people chasing her. It's rare that she chose you, you can seize the opportunity!"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen could only smile and stop talking.
Yan Ming was still young and embarrassed. He didn't say anything anymore. With a big stroke of his pen on the roster, he transferred Zheng Yiran from Yu Yuan to his team and guarded the two adjacent array eyes with Jiang Chen.
During the week of rotation, there was a panic on Qingmu Mountain. All the monks of the Heavenly Demon Sect entered a state of full vigilance, and the strength of the patrol disciples was greatly enhanced. Originally, only the captain was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but now half of them are already a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, although the number of people on the Blood Shadow Sect has increased dramatically, there is no sign of attacking.
But the more this happens, the less dares Yuchi Bin, Xiao Jincheng and others dare to relax. I know that the other party did not want to paralyze the Heavenly Demon Sect and then have a sudden attack.
During this week of rotation, Jiang Chen still often went down the mountain to buy alchemy materials. Although many disciples were dissatisfied, given that Jiang Chen was able to help everyone refine elixirs and was kind to others, he was in peace with everyone.
A week later, it was finally time for Jiang Chen's team to take a turn.
After handing over the work, Jiang Chen found Zheng Yiran and smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zheng, tomorrow morning, we will go to the cliff you took me to last time to practice. I feel that my ghost fire technique seems to have a vague trend of breaking through the fourth level. Then we will cut it a little!"
"What? You are about to break through the fourth level of Ghost Fire Art?" After hearing this, Zheng Yiran looked astonished and his beautiful big eyes were almost glaring out.
Ghost Fire Technique is a very basic ghost magic. It is not only circulated in the Heavenly Demon Sect, but also widely circulated among other ghost sects and even scattered cultivators. This magic is divided into nine levels. It is said that when it reaches the ninth level, it can emit ninety-nine eighty-one ghost fire at the same time, which is enough to melt the natal magic weapons of the Jindan stage cultivator and burn human souls. Its power is no less than first-class magicians such as the ghost claws of the underworld, the ghost flame sword technique.
When the ghost fire technique is practiced to the fourth level, forty-forty-six groups of ghost fire can be emitted at the same time, attacking the enemy from front, back, left and right directions, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to deal with.
However, those who can generally practice ghost fire art to the fourth level are all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Only they have such powerful spiritual consciousness and can master the flight and burning of sixteen groups of ghost fires.
Although theoretically, cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining can also refine the fourth level of Ghost Fire Technique, without exception are cultivators in the ninth level of Qi Refining or even Great Perfection.
Zheng Yiran met a cultivator who was only at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage and said he wanted to break through to the fourth level of the Ghost Fire Technique.
After a moment of stunnedness, she came back to her senses and said with envy: "Senior Brother Jiang is indeed amazing innate. Yiran has just developed the third level of Ghost Fire Technique, and Senior Brother Jiang is about to enter the fourth level, which is really beyond the reach of Yiran!"
Then, Zheng Yiran hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Jiang, then congratulations in advance! Let's have a good rest tonight, let's talk together tomorrow!"
After saying that, she moved her lotus steps lightly and headed towards another passage in the cave.
Jiang Chen looked at her slim back, but a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Chapter completed!
