Patrol Captain

Chen Yuan appeared in person and said something very meaningful.

The group of people were shocked, and their eyes all turned to "Qingyangzi".

At this moment, after being frozen in place by the golden light, Qingyangzi was not only unable to move his body, but his expression was also frozen, as if time had stopped.

Chen Yuan immediately concealed the secrets of heaven, using his divine eye to seal off the other party's five senses and six consciousnesses, to prevent alerting the enemy.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble this "Qingyangzi" was causing.
Then, ignoring the astonishment of the others, Chen Yuan once again shot out a stream of light from his third eye, which directly entered Qingyangzi's brow.

The next moment, Qingyangzi's frozen expression was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, twisting and ferocity, bulging veins, and a low growl of unknown meaning coming from his throat. His eyes glazed over, and as time slowly passed, an increasingly intense purple light flashed within them.

"Brother Qingyang."

"This"

When Yun Chuxiong saw Qingyangzi's pained appearance, he knew exactly what had happened—that he had been possessed by something—and he couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"Master!" Ji Wuming's eyes reddened when he saw his master like this, and he couldn't help but step forward.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly.

"Do not disturb me while I am casting my spell; I will protect Fellow Daoist Qingyangzi."

As he spoke, his eyes never stopped flashing, and his gaze grew colder and colder.

After about a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan snapped his fingers.

"Snapped"

The purple demonic light in Qingyangzi's eyes shattered like glass, revealing his pitch-black pupils, within which a clear light flickered.

The狰狞痛表情 (zhengning tongtong tongbi - meaning ferocious pain expression) on the other person's face also receded like the tide.

Then, as if exhausted, Qingyangzi fell backward. His disciple Ji Wuming cried out "Master!" and rushed forward to support Qingyangzi's weak body.

Qingyangzi's eyes darted around in a daze, but when he saw Chen Yuan, they cleared again. His lips trembled uncontrollably because he was weak and desperately wanted to speak. He insisted on standing up and bowing to Chen Yuan.

"Don't rush."

Chen Yuan took two steps forward, grasped the other person's trembling hand, and his expression softened from icy to gentle. "Tell me slowly."

Do you know who did it?

During the handshake, Chen Yuan channeled his vital energy into Qingyangzi's withered body, gradually calming his trembling and quickly restoring his pale complexion to a healthy rosy hue.

Finally, Qingyangzi swallowed hard, looked at Chen Yuan with urgent eyes, and spoke.

"A girl."

“I saw her at the banquet at the Yun residence yesterday; she is a demon.”

Qingyangzi's voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, and he spoke with some difficulty because he had coughed up blood from his throat due to his violent struggle to warn others last night.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuxiong and Yun Fangting's expressions changed drastically.

"What does he look like?" Yun Chuxiong asked urgently, unable to hide his shock and anger.

If a demon is lurking in the Yun family, what is the demon's intention in infiltrating the Yun family, and what has it done?
Especially during this sensitive period, a bad feeling can't help but rise in my heart.

"I...I've lost my supernatural powers and can no longer use my qi to manifest the form of this woman...this woman's appearance. I can only describe her through words," Qingyangzi said with great difficulty, panting heavily and speaking haltingly.

At this moment, Chen Yuan turned his Heavenly Eye to one side in a certain direction, peering into space, and said in a chilling voice:

"No need to say anything more." "I have found him."

As his third eye shone with golden light, a scene unfolded.

Under a covered bridge over a pond in the backyard, two women were walking together.

The older women wore light blue and lotus-colored robes, with dignified and gentle faces. The younger girls wore moon-white silk jackets with lotus-colored brocade cloaks over them, their figures slender and their appearance innocent and carefree.

When Qingyangzi saw the projected image, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"is her!"

"Yunluo?" Yun Chuxiong's expression changed, becoming quite ugly. He was the first to recognize the gentle woman in the picture; she was his sister's daughter.

Chen Yuan shook his head. He recognized Zhao Yunluo. They had met once many years ago, and he had almost forgotten about her. However, his sharp gaze was fixed on the girl wearing a cloak.

"Who is this woman?" he asked calmly, zooming in on the image of the girl, his meaning clear.

Yun Chuxiong's pupils constricted. He was initially somewhat bewildered, but then he immediately remembered.

He then quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Yuan, and spoke urgently.

"This girl's nickname is Yun Nu'er. She comes from a branch of the Yong'an Yun family that separated many years ago. Some time ago, she came to seek refuge with my Yun family. Since this has been a common occurrence since my Yun family rose to prominence, I was not surprised and took them in."

"General, is this woman a demon in disguise?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him. "That's right, he's still a great demon!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuxiong and the others were greatly alarmed. The Yun family harbored a powerful demon, which was equivalent to a dragon or tiger among humans. The purpose and intention of a powerful demon lurking in the Yun family were self-evident.

"Who else was with this woman at the time?" Chen Yuan asked.

"And her father, who came to seek refuge with his daughter along with some guards. I gave him a property to manage, not in my Yun residence." Yun Chuxiong's face grew increasingly grim, his heart pounding like a drum.

"When did this father and daughter arrive? How long has it been since the massacre in the city three days ago?" Chen Yuan's golden eyes fixed on Yun Chuxiong.

Upon being asked this question, Yun Chuxiong instantly understood Chen Yuan's meaning. His face turned pale, his pupils dilated, and he uttered with difficulty, "Just a few days ago."

A few days ago, demons ambushed and killed a convoy of donated supplies from four cities, causing a bloodbath. Yun Chuxiong and his group had been trying to find out where the demons got the information and laid an ambush in advance. They suspected many places, but never their own home.

Damn!

Yun Chuxiong's eyes turned red instantly, and he gritted his teeth.

"General Chen, please capture this scoundrel and interrogate him to find out who his accomplices are. They are definitely plotting a conspiracy to hold this investiture ceremony."

Chen Yuan spoke up, "I know that, but we can't touch this demon for now. One great demon can't cause much trouble. There's probably an even more powerful being behind it."

"We must not alert the enemy."

Yun Chuxiong's pupils dilated, his throat went dry, "General, do you mean there's another demon king?"

The others' expressions also changed; the Demon King was no ordinary little Karami.

Chen Yuan neither agreed nor disagreed, but looked at the girl in the picture, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"If I'm not mistaken, that big fish might be that 'father.' Just to be on the safe side, Patriarch Yun, send a message to summon back all the main and branch families of the Yun family in Chengdu under the pretext of today's seal-granting ceremony."

"This demon is controlling Qingyangzi, probably to cause trouble at the ceremony. But I suspect that more than one person is being controlled."

"Among them might be members of your Yun family from various mountains!" (End of Chapter)
