Chapter 39 Communicate together
Wen Renhuai proved Jun Mo's identity to Jiang Yu and others. He said that this man had visited him not long ago. He was indeed a disciple of the Cang Yu Sect, and he was indeed temporarily living in the house of a family named Cheng in the city. .
Taken together, although the possibility of Jun Mo being a traitor cannot be completely ruled out, Jiang Yu and others do not doubt him much.
The five of them reunited with Wen Renhuai.
Jiang Yu asked about the hidden path Jun Mo mentioned that could lead to leaving the city.
"There is indeed such a road." Wen Renhuai nodded, "Although this road is hidden, the ancestors of Lingdu once deployed a formation there specifically to restrain evil spirits. The power of that formation is not small, even if it cannot be killed, Some demons with high cultivation levels can trap them for a period of time, which is enough for us to detect any movement. Besides, these days, I have arranged two patrol teams to take turns guarding the place to prevent the demons from catching any gaps."
"."
Jiang Yu began to think deeply after hearing this, and Yuan Heng also felt something was wrong.
When they went to rescue people last night, they didn't find any team guarding there. In other words, if there was really a team guarding there and someone as big as Jun Mo sneaked out and sneaked in, why didn't they notice it at all?
Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.
They all knew when and how Jun Mo was rescued last night.
Jiang Yu and Yuan Heng's statements conflicted with Wen Renhuai's statements at this time. Obviously, it was impossible for Sang Yang and Fang He to doubt their brothers and sisters in their sect.
If Wen Renhuai didn't lie, it could only explain one problem.
Their eyes were uniformly cast on Wen Renhuai, who was sitting at the top.
"!"
Wen Renhuai immediately realized something was wrong, stood up suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he raised his hands to Jiang Yu and the others: "Excuse me."
Seeing Wen Renhuai hurried out of the main hall and there were only five of them left in the room, Fang He scratched his head and wondered: "Did he just notice it now?"
They didn't feel anything was wrong because they didn't know the existence of the school gate and the two patrol teams taking turns guarding it. However, Wen Renhuai, as a person who knew all the arrangements in the city, had listened to them for so long. Only after gossiping did I notice the anomaly of the two patrol teams. It seemed that something was wrong.
"I see that his eyes are all blue and black." Sang Yang said thoughtfully, "Maybe he didn't practice during this period because of the evil thing. It's normal for his brain to be unable to react for a while."
They had no reason to doubt Wen Renhuai. As a city lord, there was no benefit at all for him to collude with evil spirits. Once the matter was exposed, not only would the reputation he had accumulated over the years be ruined, but his life would probably not be saved either.
Regardless of whether they are decent sects of immortals or people from the demon and demon worlds, they most hate evil cultivators who practice evil demons and crooked ways.
One is a city lord who is respected by the people, and the other is a demon who is reviled by others. Everyone knows how to choose.
Jiang Yu nodded, agreeing with Sang Yang's words. She couldn't think of any reason why Wen Renhuai would collude with the devil, so she naturally had no way to directly suspect Wen Renhuai.
But she still felt something was wrong.
She always felt that besides this small door that they only knew from Jun Mo's mouth to leave the city, he must have other things that he was hiding from them.
Even though he was unlikely to be in cahoots with the devil, he probably had his own plans and wasn't going to tell them.
The reason, Jiang Yu thought about it, might be that the other party didn't trust them enough. But this was Wenren's beloved city, and it was at such a tense period, so it was understandable that he would not fully trust these outsiders.
"That's true." Fang He also answered and couldn't help but sigh, "I heard from people in the mansion that during this period, the Lord of Wenren City not only has to find ways to find those missing people during the day, but he also has to guard the city at night. Except for the time when I was in coma, I almost didn’t sleep.”
What's more, now that he's awake, his wife is lying on the bed again.
In this situation, it was difficult not to be physically and mentally exhausted. They felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, not to mention the person involved, the Lord of Wenren City.
"It's okay to wait like this." Sang Yang sighed and looked out the door. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked at Yuan Heng who was deep in thought, "Brother, why don't we go out to find those evil spirits at dawn? This matter In the final analysis, isn't it just the problems caused by those demons? As long as the demons are dealt with, nothing will happen. Then we can just leave someone alive to identify the traitor."
"Sounds reasonable."
Before Yuan Heng could speak, Wei Xu, who was lazily leaning on the back of his chair, answered first. He yawned mid-sentence, "But it's not feasible."
Sang Yang tilted his head: "Why?"
Wei Xu twitched his lips and sneered, "Have you forgotten? Those missing people are likely to be in the hands of those evil demons. Once we take the initiative to attack, they will most likely attack the people who are still in their hands."
Although these people fell into the hands of evil spirits and were in danger of death in all likelihood, he felt that the few people in front of him would not dare to gamble with the lives of the people.
"One more thing." Yuan Heng added warmly, "Since there are traitors in the city, it is difficult to ensure that there are no evil spirits hiding in the city. Once we attack the evil spirits outside, it will inevitably directly anger the evil spirits in the city and make them Take revenge on the people.”
Moreover, they still don’t know what the cultivation level of those demons is. If they rushed out recklessly, except for Jiang Yu, the ending of the others might be similar to Jun Mo.
Sang Yang was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, his face turned slightly red: "I'm sorry."
She was really excited just now, forgetting that there were still people in the opponent's hands, and only focused on the present.
"It's nothing." Jiang Yu sat closer to her, turned his head and smiled at her, comforting, "Everyone has something they can't think of at the moment. Now it's just a discussion, not to mention that this highlights the role of team formation. ?”
After she finished speaking, she quickly revealed the matter and raised her head to Wei Xu who yawned again on the opposite side: "Did you discover anything last night?"
"No." Wei Xu quickly answered her, "She had been guarding the door of the city lord's wife after practicing her sword last night. I stared at her all night, but she didn't even move."
"But this man's cultivation is indeed good, and he should be above you and me."
Jiang Yu: "Does this mean there is nothing suspicious about this person?"
"Not necessarily." Wei Xu still believed in his sixth sense, "Wenren City Lord also said that apart from himself, only this confidant maid knows about those formations-"
He stopped talking and was silent for a moment, then Yuan Heng suddenly raised his eyes.
"And the city lord's wife."
The two of them said almost in unison.
"She is a confidant." Wei Xu added, "She is a confidant of the city lord's wife. Since she is a confidant, if the city lord's wife asks about the formation, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not tell everything. What's more, the other party is also her savior. ”
