fairy don't want to talk to you

Inside the main hall, Bai Mengjin sat high up, listening quietly to their verbal argument.

Maotu claimed that he had just checked the barrier and there was no problem. It must be Leng Qiufeng who tampered with it and sent a message to the outside world. Now the Immortal Alliance has been alerted, causing immeasurable losses to the Demon Sect's next plan, and he must be severely punished.

Leng Qiufeng insisted that the barrier problem was Maotu's fault, and he happened to encounter it when he was patrolling. Maotu chose to attack first instead of checking the barrier, and he had reason to suspect that this was a deliberate frame-up.

Neither of them was willing to give in.

In addition to the Rat, the Dragon, Monkey and others also came. In recent years, they have taken turns to recuperate and rest, and today is the day when the zodiac signs are most together, except for the day of the official position.

"The barrier had been working fine since I took over. The Monkey and Rooster, who were on duty before, didn't notice anything unusual either. How come such a big mistake happened when it came to you?" The Rabbit was aggressive and even dragged others into it.

Leng Qiufeng did not give in: "So before I take over, you are in charge. I only know the basics of formations, but Lord Maotu is a master of formations. You can destroy just the right amount and disguise it without leaving any trace. Maybe only you can do that!"

"You actually put the blame on me!" Maotu was furious. "Destroying the barrier will make the Immortal Alliance more vigilant, causing us to lose the initiative! To cause such a loss just to frame you? You don't deserve it!"

"Who knows?" Leng Qiufeng said calmly, "Everyone wears the same mask, but no one knows what the face underneath looks like. Since you can be an undercover agent in the Immortal Alliance, who knows if you will be brainwashed by them."

Maotu sneered, "I haven't said anything about you yet, but you're already throwing dirty water on me. We, the twelve earthly branches, have to go through strict tests to enter the Demon Sect, but you, who are not a true demon cultivator, took the initiative to join, who knows what you are thinking."

Leng Qiufeng said calmly: "My origins are clear and I have never concealed anything. My demonic body was formed by Your Excellency herself, and my thoughts cannot be hidden from her. You said there is something wrong with me, do you not trust Your Excellency?"

"You..." Maotu's face turned red with anger.

This was originally just a conflict between her and Leng Qiufeng, but he insisted on dragging it onto Bai Mengjin, clearly fearless: Questioning me is equivalent to questioning Your Majesty, do you dare?
Maotu didn't dare. Ever since Bai Mengjin took the throne, she had been the high and mighty Demon Lord, without revealing even the slightest trace of her past. She didn't dare to stir up everyone's deep suspicion, nor did she dare to face the punishment from the Lord - the Demon Lord's strength was unfathomable.

During the stalemate, Chen Long glanced at both sides and said, "You guys are arguing like this, but you won't get any results. The way of formations, everything you do will leave traces. Why don't we check it out?"

Rat said, "Without evidence, there is no way to explain. The barrier has been problematic for a short time, so we should be able to find out."

After saying this, he turned to Bai Mengjin and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Bai Mengjin's gaze dropped down and fell on Maotu and Leng Qiufeng in turn, and the two of them couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.

After a moment, she said, "No need to bother."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of magic light flew out from his sleeves and disappeared in an instant.

When everyone was puzzled, a subtle sound was heard suddenly, and their spiritual sense was released, and their faces suddenly changed.

The magic light was seen extending inch by inch, as thin as a hair, and the light flowed wherever it went. In a short period of time, it actually started from the barrier and circulated through the entire formation covering the Yellow Springs.

This kind of magical power is unheard of!

After a moment, the magic light turned into a magic hand, pulled out a monster from a certain node, and threw it onto the hall.

"This is..." Rat frowned.

The magic light was retracted into his sleeve, and Bai Mengjin said calmly: "This demon is trapped in the node, causing the magic power to flow poorly and a loophole to appear."

Maotu seemed to have caught something important, and immediately attacked Leng Qiufeng: "The barrier was intact when I took over, which means the magic power was flowing smoothly at that time. It was your turn when the problem occurred, so it must be you who did it!"

Leng Qiufeng asked, "Did you really leave it intact when you handed it over? With Master Maotu's attainments in formations, it shouldn't be difficult to disguise and delay for a while, right?"

Before Maotu could refute, Bai Mengjin spoke up: "When did the problem occur? Just take a look and you will know." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed, and a gray-white fog mirror appeared, shining on the monster. With a scream, the demonic energy on the monster was completely extracted and fell on the mirror, reflecting the situation at that time.

This demon had low intelligence and was one of the low-level demon servants in the sect. It was usually driven to do odd jobs. When Maotu and Lengqiufeng met, it was in the dead wood forest, cleaning up the foul air that was emitted.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and it shrank its body, accidentally bumping into a dead tree. Coincidentally, at this moment, the center of the barrier array was emitting spiritual light, and the water of the Ming River washed a wave of ghosts in. It was close and was swept in.

The ghost flows into the underworld, and because of the evil aura on its body, it is absorbed by the barrier. After circulating, it is finally stuck at a certain node.

At this time, Maotu took over and left, and Leng Qiufeng took over the duty.

The light in the foggy mirror went out and things became clear.

The rabbit was speechless, and the cold autumn wind also shut up.

The others breathed a sigh of relief at first, then felt heavy-hearted.

"It turned out to be an accident." Chen Long came out to liven up the atmosphere. "I was wondering, what is this about framing someone for collaborating with the enemy? How could anyone do such a thing?"

At the end of the speech, the atmosphere was still solemn and Chen Long shut up.

In silence, Bai Mengjin spoke up: "Although the barrier is fine, you are in trouble. My Demon Sect and the Immortal Alliance are about to fight a war, but not only can you not work together, but you are suspicious and hostile to each other. How can you fight the Immortal Alliance when you are so divided?"

Now that things have come to this, things have become serious.

The Rat immediately led everyone to kneel and kowtow: "I admit my guilt."

Bai Mengjin did not spare him: "What's the point of knowing your sins if you don't repent?"

The meaning revealed in her words made Maotu pale, his lips moved, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to enter the center of the formation to repent."

The vortex gate where the water of Ming River flows into Huangquan is the core of the barrier array. There, the poison of Ming River water is concentrated, and even the magic cultivators find it difficult to withstand it.

Bai Mengjin said calmly: "If I punish you at this time, wouldn't that weaken our strength?"

After hearing this, Maotu was not relieved, but felt even more regretful. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of relying on the situation to exclude dissidents. I am just worried that someone has ulterior motives and will ruin our plans."

Bai Mengjin hummed softly.

Maotu lowered her head even more. She had not forgotten what Leng Qiufeng had said before, that his demonic body was condensed by His Majesty, and His Majesty knew all his movements. So, wasn't doubting Him the same as doubting His Majesty?

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rat pleaded, "Your Majesty, the Rabbit made a big mistake this time because she was not thoughtful enough. But in the final analysis, it was also for the sake of the Demon Sect. I hope you will be lenient with her."

Chen Long and others also seconded the proposal: "Please show leniency, Your Majesty."

Bai Mengjin looked at them indifferently. After a moment, she said, "You are not thoughtful when encountering things, and you put the blame on your colleagues. You should take the blame. Although Weiyang has his reasons, he also has malicious intentions and should be punished. There is no need to enter the center of the formation. Your loss of cultivation is equivalent to weakening our strength. Let's go to the Demon Sealing Formation. The two of you go together and experience what it means to support each other."

This task is not easy. As a punishment, it does not hurt the strength but is difficult enough. Zishu and others felt relieved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Maotu heard that Leng Qiufeng was leaving, the last bit of discomfort in his heart was gone, and he kowtowed willingly: "I will obey your order." (End of this chapter)
