Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 112 The Abnormality of the Woman

The training team had previously focused their attention on the temple and the monsters, even suspecting that the temple was the town's den for trafficking women. However, they had already thoroughly investigated the temple's background before apprehending the monsters.

It was just an ordinary little temple, unmanned and so simple it lacked even a janitor. The two people who had stopped the male students from entering the temple were simply there because there were so many people burning incense during the day, and the women in the town had volunteered to help maintain order.

That's why they had ambushed outside the temple before, but they didn't expect that although they caught a lot of monsters, none of them was the real culprit.

Except for Zhen Yi, no one thought about the woman who was almost captured. When it was mentioned, they remembered that the temple had been closed for a long time at night, and it was indeed strange for a woman like her to appear there.

"You...what do you want to do?" The woman, who was invited back to the inn, shook her head in panic, "I don't know anything!"

As soon as she said this, everyone could see that there was something wrong with her.

"I don't know. Then why did you sneak out while we were discussing?" Zhen Yi asked. In fact, he had always been suspicious of her. He sensed the moment she left the house, so he seized the opportunity so accurately.

The woman's face turned even paler, and her eyes became vague, but she didn't dare look at them. "I... I don't know what you're talking about. I just want to go out and get some fresh air."

"Do you need to pack your things for some fresh air?" Zhen Yi pointed at the package in her hand.

“…” The woman fell silent, clutching the package in her hand tightly with a look of resistance on her face.

"What exactly is going on with the demonic plague in this town?" Zhen Yi continued to ask, "What do you know?"

“…” The woman did not answer.

"Why were you in that temple last night?"

“…” The woman remained silent, as if in silent protest.

The other students were all a little angry. They had clearly saved her, and not only was she ungrateful, but she actually refused to say anything. They immediately became furious, "Since she's so uncooperative, why not use the Mantra Talisman!"

The woman's face turned pale instantly, but she still clenched her teeth.

"Forget it." Zhen Yi didn't actually use the talisman. After all, the other party was just an ordinary person and couldn't resist the talisman. So he continued, "In fact, even if you don't say it, I can guess that you weren't caught accidentally last night, but were deliberately taken away by that weasel, right?"

The woman raised her head suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by more panic.

"As expected." Zhen Yi had already confirmed his suspicions. "It seems your appearance in the temple was not accidental, but was planned long ago with that weasel demon. It's just that our appearance disrupted your plans."

She still said nothing, but tightened her grip on the package.

"Before in the stone forest, you were the one who deliberately interrupted Senior Brother Jing's sword formation and let the demon go, right?" Zhen Yi continued, "You were just trying to inform the demon. What kind of deal did you have? Were the missing women in the town also harmed by that weasel demon?"

"No, you're talking nonsense!" The woman suddenly retorted angrily.

"How's that?"

"..." The woman fell silent again. "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. Since you were able to send a message, it proves that the demon hasn't left too far. It's even possible that it's already returned. Let me guess where you will meet." Zhen Yi said slowly, "Still that temple, right? After all, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."

The woman suddenly became even more panicked, and her breathing became unstable.

The students were delighted, and Senior Brother Jiang immediately made arrangements, "Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Yuan, you two stay here and wait for the three junior sisters to wake up. The rest of you, follow me to the Goddess Temple."

"Okay." Everyone nodded and summoned their spirit swords to go out.

"Wait! Take her with you." Zhen Yi pointed at the woman and reminded.

One of the students picked up the other person and flew up, heading towards the Goddess Temple in the west of the town.

Qiu Ci glanced at the three students lying on the bed, waved out three spiritual powers to protect them, shook his head and followed them out.

In less than half a moment, the group had arrived above the Goddess Temple. The small temple was still bustling with incense during the day. The temple was now full of women who came to burn incense. The sky was filled with smoke. If they had not made every effort to investigate, they would not have been able to detect the trace of demonic energy mixed in the smoke.

"Set up the formation and clear the area." Senior Brother Jiang said directly to the two students who were practicing formation.

The two of them did not hesitate and pinched their hands at the same time. After a while, a magic circle appeared above the Goddess Temple. The dazzling white light swept downwards, and the pilgrims who were burning incense and worshiping Buddha inside suddenly disappeared and appeared on the street outside the temple. The inside was emptied in an instant, and a translucent magic circle light shield appeared, covering the entire temple.

All the students flew down and landed in the courtyard. Senior Brother Jiang made a gesture, and everyone dispersed tacitly and guarded the exits in various directions.

The sudden silence in the temple naturally alarmed a demon hiding inside. The next moment, a yellow light rushed out from the elephant in the temple and flew towards the exit.

With a bang, it hit the formation outside and was bounced back.

The figure was extremely fast and the moment it failed to escape, it spewed out another burst of yellow smoke and used the same trick again.

How could the students who had already prepared be hit by the same trick? Moreover, it was daytime now, and the smoke did not have the effect of blocking vision like it did at night.

Zhen Yi mobilized his spiritual power and made a wind gesture. In a few breaths, he rolled the poisonous yellow smoke into the sky, revealing the figure in the middle.

It was indeed the weasel from last night, but it looked a little disheveled, with its hair all standing on end and a deep sword mark on its tail. It was baring its teeth and roaring at everyone angrily.

"Catch it." Senior Brother Jiang turned the sword in his hand and slashed towards the opponent.

But the opponent was extremely agile and ran like an afterimage. In addition, the temple was small, so several attacks failed to hit the opponent.

"To defeat the evil spirits, use thunder magic." Someone thought of something and quickly reminded.

The students reacted immediately, and four or five of them immediately began to practice hand gestures. Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed in the sky. The next moment, the weasel, which had been a mere afterimage, suddenly slowed down as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and its body began to tremble. Several bolts of lightning were about to strike down simultaneously.

"Wait..." Zhen Yi was also shocked. If so many people were to chop him together, he would be killed.

"No!" Just as he was about to stop him, someone was faster. The woman who was brought in, who knew where she got the strength from, actually shook off the student beside her and rushed towards the center of the lightning, blocking the weasel demon.
