644: Chapter 642 You've Been Exposed
"Reporting to Master, there is indeed such a Sect," Tian Yong said respectfully.
"But not long ago, this Sect was conquered by demons. The entire Sect suffered heavy casualties, and almost everyone became blood food. Only the Sect's Old Ancestor, Yuan Ji, luckily escaped with his life. Afterward, he joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance and, like me, became one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Captains."
"Joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance?" Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked, "Do you know where that Yuan Ji is?"
Tian Yong replied, "After Alliance Leader Ming Zhen was heavily injured, the backbone of our Heavenly Dao Alliance was basically all recalled to the General Headquarters. That Yuan Ji should also be among them."
Chu Xuan nodded, and a cold sneer couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
Previously, while in the capital, when Chu Xuan entered the Tianxing Mountains for the second time through the backyard of Pang Hu's house, he had encountered Disciples of the Five Qi Guiyuan Sect.
These people's Cultivation Technique had problems. Anyone who Cultivates it will have their life state influenced by the will of the person at the highest Realm of this Cultivation Technique. The deeper one Cultivates, the easier it is for their body to undergo a strange transformation.
When the last Disciple of the Five Qi Guiyuan Sect was beheaded by Chu Xuan, his body turned into a skeleton man, and there seemed to be another consciousness attached to it.
"That skeleton man... should be the person at the highest Realm of the Cultivation Technique they practice, perhaps it is the Five Qi Guiyuan Sect's Old Ancestor, Yuan Ji..."
The smile on the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth became increasingly chilling. He couldn't help but recall the words spoken by that skeleton man back then.
— "I have remembered you. I will find you..."
At that time, Chu Xuan had truly almost been frightened.
Today, descending into the Cangyun World, Chu Xuan would like to see what would happen if that person really saw him.
However, at this moment, a thought suddenly occurred to Chu Xuan.
If Yuan Ji had infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Alliance, then were there other Strange Creatures that had also infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
Chu Xuan recalled again that the last time he was about to leave the Cangyun World, he had passed through several cities that were currently engaged in battle and slaughter.
Whether it was the Great Cang Dynasty side or the Heavenly Dao Alliance side, there was no lack of hidden Strange Creatures, secretly hunting and eating the casualties between the warring sides.
Perhaps, whether it was the Great Cang Dynasty or the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they had long since become riddled with holes, infiltrated by a large number of Strange Creatures.
All these things, Chu Xuan had discovered many clues back then without even trying to investigate.
Logically speaking, whether it was the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Great Cang Dynasty, or the Four Great Sects, many of their high-level personnel should have discovered this problem.
Why hadn't they taken corresponding measures?
If left unchecked, with humans constantly slaughtering each other like this, they would only become nutrients for the promotion of Strange Creatures.
As one grows and the other wanes, the Strange Creatures would accelerate in becoming stronger, and those Four Great Sects would sooner or later be finished.
And on the side of the Strange Creatures, besides hiding among humans to feast, did they have any other schemes or tricks?
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan looked deeply at the five armored soldiers in front of him again.
Just when he had arrived, Chu Xuan had keenly captured a trace of killing intent and craving from these few people, and immediately used the Eye of Insight.
Sure enough, as expected, under the inspection of the Eye of Insight, Chu Xuan immediately clearly determined that these five people were all actually Strange Creatures.
In a flash of thought, Chu Xuan sent Tian Yong away: "Tian Yong, you go back first to report to Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun. Just follow my instructions to you, and I will arrive shortly..."
After the light of the Teleportation Array flickered, Chu Xuan looked at the five armored soldiers and suddenly snorted coldly: "You few, you are pretending too poorly!"
The five soldiers couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and the leading soldier asked respectfully, "What did you say?"
Chu Xuan said coldly, "You few almost exposed yourselves just now, don't you know?"
"Senior, I don't understand what you are saying." The leading soldier was still full of confusion, but his eyes faintly revealed a trace of fierceness.
At the same time, he quietly made a gesture, and the other four soldiers immediately dispersed unnoticeably, faintly showing a tendency to surround Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan's figure suddenly grew by a few points, his face twisted, covered in a layer of pitch-black scales, and his eyes became incomparably demonic. His voice carried a hint of hoarseness when he spoke:
"Then now, do you understand what I am saying?"
Seeing this, the five soldiers' bodies suddenly shook, and they said in astonishment, "So you are also..."
"Shut up!"
A wisp of invisible Mental Energy turned into a thread and entered the leading soldier's head. Chu Xuan said coldly, "You almost ruined the plan, do you know that?"
Chu Xuan did not know what plan these Strange Creatures had.
But through the joint operations of Strange Creatures he had seen the last time he entered the Cangyun World, as well as the agreement between the Strange Creatures and the Four Great Sects in this System notification...
All these things led Chu Xuan to gradually reach a conclusion.
The Strange Creatures in this Cangyun World were not completely scattered, but possessed a certain level of organization.
At this moment, when Chu Xuan said the word "plan," it was actually a bluff, intended to provoke the other party to generate relevant thoughts so that he could capture and sense them through the Thought Thread.
Sure enough, after hearing this sentence from Chu Xuan, the five armored soldiers' expressions trembled again, shaking like chaff.
And almost at the same time, Chu Xuan sensed the relevant thoughts.
"Divine Dao Sect... act according to orders, lurk in various places of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, wait for orders, and act when the time comes..."
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had really guessed correctly. These Strange Creatures had adapted to local conditions and established a secret organization that had not been spread outside, the "Divine Dao Sect," which had a strict Rank System within it.
Regarding the specifics, these few soldiers did not know much; they were just small fries who had been arranged here.
But what could be confirmed was that, just as Chu Xuan had previously guessed, a large number of personnel within the Heavenly Dao Alliance had already been infiltrated by Strange Creatures.
Next, Chu Xuan continued to speak, and soon obtained a very useful piece of information.
It turned out that among these five soldiers, only three had problems with their Cultivation Technique. When they lost control one day, the Strange Creatures from the Dark World descended, directly invaded, and occupied their bodies.
The other two were not occupied by a Specter, but had problems themselves, lost control and underwent a strange transformation, and then formed a brand new consciousness.
Unable to probe for more useful information, a flash of murderous intent crossed Chu Xuan's heart, and he suddenly said coldly: "Since you have already been exposed, then there is no need for you to continue living."
