429: Capture

The team's defender also cast a shield on their Demon Clan Captain, while the other two members attacked Ji Yi and his group.

As for their Demon Clan Captain, he unleashed a slash at that moment. As expected of the Slaying Heaven Legion, this squad was very strong and had high combat proficiency.

However, this squad's strength was still far inferior to Ji Yi's group; they were only at the peak Immortal King level.

Furthermore, Ji Yi and his group caught them off guard, intentionally planning against the unprepared, so the outcome was predetermined. Sister Lan's spear broke through their Demon Clan Captain's defense, heavily injuring him with a single thrust.

"Escape!" the Demon Clan Captain roared, knowing that the strength disparity was too great and they had no chance.

The other four were decisive, immediately entering the Void Realm to flee.

But a Formation rose, blocking them.

"Break!" They launched an attack. This was only a temporary Formation set up by Ji Yi, and it wouldn't hold them for more than two moves.

However, Ji Yi and his group wouldn't let these people escape. Sister Lan's long spear transformed into four spear shadows, thrusting towards the other four.

They had no choice but to turn and block, and the huge disparity in strength caused them to be heavily injured by a single spear.

They wanted to unite, but how could Ji Yi give them a chance?

Layers of space appeared, separating them. Their Qi was cut off by Ji Yi, making it impossible for them to even form a battle array.

The battle ended quickly. Soon, all five Demon Race members fell to the ground, the power of the Dao constantly devouring them, making them increasingly weak.

"Let's go." Sister Lan grabbed the five Demon Race members, and their figures disappeared.

The battle ended very quickly. When the Formation disappeared, the people outside only found a ruin; the pavilion could not withstand such battle repercussions.

Ji Yi and his group returned to their lodging. Ji Yi used his spell to extract information from these Demon Race members. Unfortunately, there wasn't much useful information, as they had only recently arrived.

But it didn't matter. Ji Yi then asked them about the Demon Race and unexpectedly gained a lot of useful information. This was a pleasant surprise.

"Alright, deal with them," Ji Yi said.

"Okay." Sister Lan destroyed the Primordial Spirits of the five Demon Race members. They were unwilling to hand them over alive, as their combat process revealed methods inconsistent with their persona. Anyway, handing them over dead was the same, and it still proved their strong detective and anti-detective abilities.

Ji Yi and his group handed the five Demon Race members over to the City Lord. The City Lord looked at them with new respect, not expecting them to capture a squad from the Demon Race's Slaying Heaven Legion on the very first day. Their ability was truly outstanding.

"I will report your merits. You are excellent, truly worthy of the Lord's appreciation," the City Lord praised.

"Our strength is beyond doubt," Ji Yi said calmly.

"Haha, then continue to prove it." The City Lord dismissed Ji Yi and his group. As for why the Demon Race members Ji Yi handed over were dead, he had no suspicions. The Shadow Temple was an assassin organization; wasn't it normal for them to kill with one strike?

Ji Yi and the five returned to their lodging to rest first, balancing work and rest.

"Ji Yi, you're really amazing! You found a Demon Race squad so quickly." Xiao Min looked at Ji Yi with increasing admiration. Her role as a scout was almost like retirement now.

"It's all Luck."

"Tsk, stop being modest. How can there be so much Luck?"

"There's a secret I've kept, and now I plan to tell you."

"What is it?" Xiao Min's eyes showed curiosity, and Sister Lan and the other three also showed listening expressions.

"That is, I am a Child of Luck. Everyone, please don't tell anyone," Ji Yi said mysteriously, earning four sets of eye rolls.

After resting, the five set off separately again to search for spies.

Ji Yi performed another divination this time, still divining about the Demon Race, but there was no guidance. Perhaps the distance was too far, or the Demon Race members remaining here had too high a Dao.

He could only turn to divining about others. He decided to divine about the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist sect's relationship with the Heavenly Court was also very bad. In recent years, the Demon Race and the Buddhist sect were the most ruthless in kicking them when they were down. The Buddhist sect yearned greatly for the East; they were already unaccustomed to living in the Spirit Mountain.

Some guidance appeared in his mind, and this guidance actually pointed towards the city center. Ji Yi followed the guidance and arrived near the City Lord's mansion.

"Holy crap, these Buddhist sect people are really bold, directly striking at the core?" Ji Yi even admired this Buddhist sect spy a bit. This place indeed held the most secrets.

However, the guidance stopped here. Next, Ji Yi had to explore on his own. He didn't directly walk into the City Lord's mansion and tell the City Lord, "You have a Buddhist sect spy here." What about the evidence?

For several days, Ji Yi found no trace of that Buddhist sect spy. He was very well hidden. Of course, how could someone who dared to cause trouble in the main base not be well hidden?

Ji Yi had no harvest, but Xiao Min did. She found traces of a Yao Race spy.

Ji Yi went ahead, and the five once again captured the Yao Race spy and handed him over to the City Lord. This time, he was alive, because it was five against one, and they easily captured the Yao Race spy with just a few moves.

Back at their lodging, Ji Yi revealed the news that there might be a Buddhist sect spy in the City Lord's mansion, to see if everyone had any ideas.

"Those bald donkeys, claiming to be righteous and open, but their methods are actually as Weird as those evil Cultivators from Reincarnation Paradise." Xiao Min had a strong dislike for the Buddhist sect, perhaps due to some past grievances with them.

"In terms of deceiving people, the Buddhist sect is no worse than evil Cultivators, and their methods are even more overbearing, because they can make enemies truly submit to the Buddhist sect." Sister Lan's brows also furrowed. In recent years, the Buddhist sect's influence had extended into the Heavenly Court's territory.

Moreover, the Buddhist sect was constantly expanding. Their Core Dao Domain was currently the largest, and those Dao Domains were all Buddhist sect believers, making it almost impossible for other forces to extend their influence there.

"The Buddhist sect's methods are usually conversion or entering dreams. Perhaps we can start from these two aspects," Xiao Ling said. As a commander, she naturally had to understand the methods of Cultivators from various Dao.

"Conversion, entering dreams... Conversion causes too much commotion. The greatest possibility is that he enters dreams, no wonder I couldn't find his trace." Ji Yi suddenly realized.

"You all wait a moment, I'm going to ask someone something," Ji Yi said, then returned to his room.

"So mysterious, Ji Yi, you wouldn't be involved in something illicit, would you?" Xiao Min said.

"Alright, who doesn't have secrets? Your room has more illicit dealings," Sister Lan said scornfully.

"What's in my room? Go in and see now!"

"I was talking about your room at home, not this one. How is it, is the stuff from the Technology Dao Domain easy to use?" Sister Lan teased.

"Ah! I'll fight you!" Xiao Min's face turned red. She never expected Sister Lan to discover those toys. She wanted to die.
