Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 319 Going to the Lair

"That idiot Lin Xingzhi had his heart dug out by this thing, right?"

Qin Xiao kicked the corpse of the phantom demon on the ground with a look of disdain on his face.

The Rules and Regulations Department obviously does not care about the dead being the most important. Qin Xiao looked like that, if Lin Xingzhi's soul was standing at the scene, he would point at the other person's nose and call him a waste.

Gu Jinzhi: "The phantom demon is good at disguise, aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person?"

"So what? If you doubt me, you can come and try it with me. If you can't beat me, you will know whether it is true or not." Qin Xiao glared at Gu Jinzhi without even turning around to look at him straight in the eye.

Gu Jinzhi got angry for a moment, but the truth of his fist was in the other party's hand. He snorted angrily to express his dissatisfaction.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Qin Xiao’s theory: “…” It seems to make a lot of sense… What the hell!

"Humph, with the Discipline Department here, I'm afraid your disciples from the Discipline Hall won't have much chance to take action? That's all."

Wu Feipeng smiled but said nothing, not wanting to argue with this childish guy, but he was wondering in his heart: Why does Qin Xiao always mention the Discipline Hall? He remembered that the Discipline Hall had never had any contact with the Discipline Department... Why did they make this petty person think about it?

"We are not phantom demons!" Several cultivators who came to their senses waved their hands and looked at Qin Xiao vigilantly, fearing that this evil god would attack them without any explanation.

"How did you get here?" Wu Feipeng said in a gentle tone. Qin Xiao beside him crossed his arms and his eyes were like a scanner. Several people hurriedly explained.

There is no way. Being stared at so closely, I feel like I will have to cosplay as Louis XVI if I don’t slow down.

"I had discovered something and set up an array to seal off a place where evil spirits were rampant, but suddenly I was targeted."

"Yes, yes, yes. At that time, groups of monsters rushed out from all directions and blocked us tightly."

"We found a gap at the back and ran here. We vaguely heard the voices of fellow Taoists and called for help as we ran."

Qin Xiao chuckled: "This is being driven like a sheep."

Wu Feipeng nodded: "And we may have been targeted earlier, they are just a test."

These disciples were driven here with a purpose, and there were also phantom demons mixed in among them - everyone suddenly felt their scalps tingling, and a chill ran down the soles of their feet and straight to their foreheads.

Qin Xiao was furious. He thrust his sword into the head of the phantom demon corpse on the ground. "This is definitely a show of power and a provocation!"

Duan Jiashu hit the nail on the head: "It shows that the direction we have chosen is correct, right?" I just don't know if it is the old nest that is being covered up, or something else...

"And..." Duan Jiashu looked around.

"If the place where they are occupying is really the lair of phantom demons, based on our investigation, we who are being targeted may have been mixed in with phantom demons, and some may even be of a high level. The higher the level of the phantom demons, the more similar their disguises are, and the more sophisticated their methods are, and they can even cover up the demonic energy very well." Given the location of Misty Mountain and the mist, the probability that it is actually the lair of phantom demons is almost 100%.

"Is this true? No way?"

When these words were spoken, everyone had surprise on their faces. They said something like "That's impossible" but their bodies were honest. They all took a step back, kept a distance from the people around them, and held their weapons in an unusually tacit understanding.

Although there is suspicion of alienation, but in the current situation, it is better to be on guard than not.

"Senior Brother Cheng, you're the only one I can trust now!" Gu Jinzhi clutched the corner of Cheng Yang's clothes.

Cheng Yang was somewhat touched. Before he could ask in detail, Gu Jinzhi muttered to himself, "Senior Brother Cheng Yang has such a low sense of presence, that thing can't be faked!"

Cheng Yang: “…” For a moment he couldn’t tell whether the young valley master was praising him or criticizing him.

Wang Yanzhi came up to Zhang Miao and said, "It's definitely impossible in our team. It's hard to pretend to be a captain. Someone is so mean. Even a phantom demon can't act that out."

Yu Shuoyang: "Yes, some people have such a high and mighty spirit that ordinary phantom demons cannot grasp it."

Zhang Miao was squeezed in the middle and felt a headache: How can I make them shut up?

At this moment, Duan Jiashu had the leisure to joke with Wu Feipeng: "If I were replaced, would you recognize me?"

When he opened his mouth, Wu Feipeng lowered his head slightly to make it easier for him to listen, but he frowned as he listened to his words.

"Brother, don't joke like that."

Duan Jiashu scratched his head and said, "Just talking." Wu Feipeng is different now that he has grown up, and he is quite imposing.

"I recognize him." How could I not recognize him? We had been squeezed on the same couch before. I had traced his brows countless times at night. My peripheral vision always followed his figure. I even washed his clothes and patched up the holes... How could I not recognize him?

Wu Feipeng enunciated his words very clearly, with his eyes lowered. His thick eyelashes made it difficult for Duan Jiashu to see what was underneath his eyes. Naturally, he could not detect the flash of hostility in his eyes when he mentioned it.

"I will get you back."

What to find back? How to find it? Duan Jiashu was a little confused. Since the phantom demon had replaced the person, the original person must have been swallowed up. If Wu Feipeng wanted to find him, wouldn't he have to skin him open and dig out his remains? Well, it shouldn't be what he thought...

Duan Jiashu couldn't imagine the scene of the sunny and cheerful Wu Feipeng holding a sword and digging into his stomach, saying that he wanted to find him out... Wow, like a dark male ghost. He suddenly felt goosebumps and thought that he must have misunderstood.

Qin Xiao also heard it and said with a sigh: "What a boring question. If some high-level phantom demons can inherit memories, how can we find out?"

"Even if they have the same memories, he is him. No one can replace him and no one can tell them apart. He deserves to die, don't you think?" Wu Feipeng's tone was still gentle, but with a hint of sarcasm.

Qin Xiao thought he was a gentle person, but he was suddenly rebuked and was stunned. He felt something strange. It seemed that Wu Feipeng was talking about him, but inexplicably he seemed to be mentioned as well... Qin Xiao couldn't figure it out, so he glanced at Duan Jiashu - but he was quite protective of him.

Zhang Miao looked at the smiling Wu Feipeng and the confused Duan Jiashu and raised his eyebrows.

The others looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that they were silent, they breathed a sigh of relief - if the Discipline Hall and the Discipline Department fought, would they flee, or would they flee...

However, this interruption did help everyone relax a little and continue on their journey.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and everyone hurriedly huddled together.

I saw the deathly cold fog being driven by the wind, drifting over the lush green peaks, rolling down the grasslands and riverbanks, until it merged with the condensed water vapor from the stream. The scene was eerie, with shadows of people looming in the fog.
