Chapter 375: Everyone has their own thoughts
"Having said that, we still have to be on guard."
Elder Lei sighed, then said in a deep voice, "This Japanese is after the Thunder Pattern Jade Box, and there's a traitor behind it. The qualifying rounds are about to begin. If something happens to the Sect Leader again..."
Having said this, Elder Lei stopped talking.
The candlelight in the hall was still flickering, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"How about this... If there's still no news from the Sect Leader by tomorrow, then we'll send someone to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and make sure to find the Sect Leader."
Elder Ouyang's fingers, twisting his beard, suddenly tightened, his graying brows knitted together as he said in a deep voice, "As for those ants from Japan... they're just clowns, nothing to be afraid of. The thing we should be most worried about now is that girl Murong Xue. I wonder if she can catch the traitor..."
"That's right. The biggest threat to us right now is this traitor. He's so despicable. He's actually betraying us. If I find out, I'll absolutely grind him to dust."
Elder Lei slammed the table so hard that sparks flew from the candlelight, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Now I just hope Yun Chen's plan works..."
Elder Liu sighed, his tone helpless.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
.........
But at this time, Murong Xue's situation was not optimistic.
She was wearing black clothes and a mask at the moment, and her figure was running outside Panlei City like a ghostly black shadow.
The wound on my back was still bleeding, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.
"You bastard from Japan, you can't escape... surrender now."
Behind him, five streams of light were chasing him closely, and the angry roars of the monks from the East Continent exploded in the night sky.
Murong Xue's eyes were cold, but the corners of her mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
"You are daydreaming of asking the Japanese monks to surrender."
She gritted her teeth, gathered light blue spiritual power in her palm, turned around suddenly and swung out a blade.
The light blue blade cut through the night sky, forcing the pursuers to stop. Murong Xue took the opportunity to turn around, but she didn't expect a light black afterimage to suddenly pass in front of her.
"who?"
Murong Xue's face changed, and just as she was about to speak, she heard some broken Chinese.
"Japanese monk?"
Murong Xue was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her mouth curled up.
Is this a surprise?
Li Gui meets Li Kui?
However, before she could speak, Inoue Mieko grabbed her wrist with her backhand and said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"
Just like that, before Murong Xue had time to react, she was pulled by Inoue Mieko and flew away.
As she passed by, she simply swung her hand and knocked the five people chasing her away.
Murong Xue was dragged by Inoue Mieko and ran quickly, feeling shocked and suspicious.
The spiritual power of this Japanese woman is so strong that she can knock away five pursuers with just one blow?
You have to know that those five people are all masters in the late Jindan stage, and she lured them here on purpose. Even if she wanted to deal with all five of them together, it would take some effort.
But what surprised her was that this Japanese monk didn't kill them?
When did the Japanese become so kind?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking air behind her, and three gray shadows with sharp sword energy chased after her. They were the secret agents of Tianji Pavilion who had been tracking Inoue Mieko before.
"You Japanese bastards, you can't escape!" the leading spy shouted, his sword pointed directly at the backs of the two men. "You actually have accomplices? Take them down today!"
Inoue Mieko's eyes flashed, and she threw out three black Shikigami afterimages with her backhand, and the black mist instantly wrapped around the spy's sword.
"There's no time to explain. Follow me if you want to live!" She pulled Murong Xue and suddenly changed direction, jumped up the hillside on tiptoe, and flew away into the distance.
Murong Xue was pulled so hard that she staggered two steps. The wound on her back felt as painful as if it was being torn apart, but she could also clearly see the Shadow Snake Group mark on Inoue Mieko's sleeve.
"Someone from the Shadow Snake Group?"
Her heart couldn't help but shudder, her eyes flickered, and she followed him in an instant.
He had originally planned to pretend to be a Japanese monk to lure out the traitor from the Taoist Alliance, but he didn't expect to meet a real Japanese monk.
If I follow this woman, maybe... the plan will go more smoothly.
So after a quick thought, she made a decision.
And Mieko Inoue saved her with the same idea.
The Panlei City stronghold was exposed, and all the people were killed or injured. The master asked her to go back and act as an insider, but if she goes back... how can she regain the trust of her superiors?
After all... I'm the only one alive?
But now it’s different, I have a witness.
Although he didn't know which hall the other party belonged to, if someone testified for him and proved that he was indeed being hunted by the cultivators from the East Continent, then the probability of him gaining trust would be greater.
Of course, the worst outcome... is nothing more than blaming everything on this woman, saying that it was this woman who lured the cultivators from the East Continent, causing him to be exposed...
It won't affect me at all.
The two men, each with their own thoughts, sped through the night, with the sword energy of the Tianji Pavilion's secret agents following them like a shadow.
.........
On the other side, Yun Chen had no idea that Murong Xue, whom he was worried about, and the little slave girl he had just taken in would actually meet each other.
He has now returned to the Tianji Pavilion.
"Master, I have already sent people from the City Lord's Mansion back to the Divine Thunder Palace, and Yunxiao Pavilion has also sent people to clean up the mess. As for the Japanese woman who escaped, don't worry... I will definitely send more people to bring her back for you." Lin Yue bowed his body, his tone respectful and a bit flattering.
Yun Chen raised his hand to interrupt him, his tone calm, "There's no need to mobilize a large force. That Japanese woman is very cunning. If we pursue her forcefully, we might end up in an ambush. Let's send everyone back... Let the Dao Alliance handle the rest."
Are you kidding? I was just cooperating with Mieko in the play. If she were really caught...how would I act out the next scene?
How can we catch all those bastards in Japan?
Lin Yue stood there in a daze, his face full of confusion.
Yun Chen was chasing that Japanese woman relentlessly before, why did he suddenly change his mind?
But he didn't dare ask any more questions, so he could only bow and reply, "Yes, Immortal Master. I will go and pass the order to the brothers to withdraw."
After Lin Yue left, Yun Chen walked to the window, looked at the quiet night outside, and tapped the window frame unconsciously with his fingers.
The moonlight shines through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground, just like my mood at the moment.
Since entering the secret realm of practicing magic, he has experienced dangers that he had never experienced in the past twenty years. He originally wanted to find Ruoruo, kill the father and son of the Gu family, and then return to the secular world together.
But I didn't expect to be involved in the Daoist ranking competition again. Before the ranking competition even started, I encountered this matter of the Japanese monks...
I even confusedly became Ruoruo's disciple...
"Cultivating in the Dharma Realm is still too dangerous. We need to finish this as soon as possible and leave here... Now that the matter with the Japanese cultivators has come to an end, let's go find that girl Lin Wan'er tomorrow... The Gu family father and son must die."
Yun Chen's fingers gradually slowed down, his gaze fell on the night outside the window, and a hint of deep thought appeared in his eyes.
