Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Faced with the crowd of demons watching, the Armor-Piercing Cone's expression immediately dimmed, and he remained silent, like a wilted eggplant.

The old tree bent over, its eyes filled with disappointment as it looked at it.

The King of Spikes, his face contorted with rage, grabbed the fur of the armor-piercing spike and shook it violently, saying:

"I never imagined you'd side with Firetail Rat. Have you forgotten what you kept saying before?"

"What I hate most is a traitor!"

"Looking back now, it's really embarrassing."

It couldn't resist punching the armor-piercing cone hard in the face, knocking it to the ground.

It did not retaliate; its expression was stiff, and it remained silent.

The Spiky King continued to shake its body violently, roaring:

"Say something!"

"So you dare to do it but not admit it, huh?"

"Tell me your reasons for betraying me!"

The armor-piercing drill sergeant shook his head bitterly and said:

"I betrayed everyone, I have nothing to say."

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."

Lao Shu swung his peachwood staff fiercely, his eyebrows bristling, and said:

Do you know?

"If you reveal the information about the tunnel escape route, our people from all ethnic groups will be slaughtered by the enemy. How many elderly, weak, women, and children will perish?"

"It's one thing if this happens to other people, but it has to be you. You've always been the one who hates evil the most."

Laoshu, frustrated and disappointed, finally sighed and said:

"Don't say anything more, just kill yourself."

The armor-piercing dagger glanced at his people, a resolute glint in his eyes:

"I have wronged everyone. I deserve to lose my life. I only hope that you can spare my people."

Laoshu said angrily:

"Let them go?"

"And what about our people?"

"Would it be useful to say this to the Fire-Tailed Rat or the Skin-Painting Demon?"

Did you consider their feelings when you did this?

The armor-piercing cone said emotionally:

"I had no choice but to do this. I won't say more. I can only atone with my death."

Its claws lit up, aiming at its own throat.

"Vice Chief Laoshu, please, please spare our chief! He has his reasons!"

The black-tailed wolverines nearby knelt down in unison, weeping and begging for mercy.

The armor-piercing drill knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, saying:

"Fellow tribesmen, it is the chieftain's incompetence that has caused you this. I am sorry."

After saying that, the armor-piercing spike closed its eyes and plunged its sharp claws straight into its own throat.

Boom!

A sound of something hard colliding rang out.

The armor-piercing cone was puzzled: why didn't it hurt?

It opened its eyes and saw that Jiang Yu had used the Thunder Pestle to block its sharp claws.

The demons were also puzzled as to why Jiang Yu would intervene.

Jiang Yu discovered the traitorous identity of the armor-piercing cone, so why did he save its life?

Jiang Yu glanced at everyone and said:

"The situation with the armor-piercing cone is different from that of the sphere king. Let's spare its life for now and see what its predicament is before making any further plans."

Jiang Yu suspected that the Armor Piercer might be a traitor for two reasons. First, the Armor Piercer was always fiercely opposed to evil and deeply resented traitors. So why would he take the initiative to collect the corpse of the Round Sphere King?

Furthermore, after his cultivation level reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was able to master the second ability of the Soul-Startling Gong.

"【Soul Wound Identification】: When the gong sound sweeps across the target, it can reflect the 'soul light' of all creatures, and different injuries will show different colors."

During his exploration, he discovered that the soul aura of all the Black-tailed Wolverines was a ghostly green.

They were clearly poisoned, and their bodies were being constantly eroded.

He had seen this kind of deadly poison on the Painted Skin Ghost.

Therefore, he suspected that the armor-piercing cone had betrayed everyone.

He deliberately lingered to observe for a while, and everything turned out exactly as he had predicted.

Jiang Yu retrieved the Heavenly Thunder Pestle and said:

"Tell me everything."

The armor-piercing dagger frowned, sighed, and said:

"Our entire clan has been poisoned by the Painted Skin Demon's corpse poison. Without an antidote, we will die from intestinal perforation in three days."

"He asked us to become spies within the weasel tribe, to wipe them all out, and in return he would give us the antidote and spare our lives."

"It's all my fault for being blinded by greed and listening to their slander, which led me to betray everyone."

Jiang Yu said:

"Based on my experience dealing with these 'faceless demons,' they are ruthless. Even if you go along with them, you will only become a puppet in the end, forever manipulated."

"Do you think that if you hand over our whereabouts, they'll allow your people to escape alone when they surround and kill us?"

"I don't need to explain such a simple principle."

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, the armor-piercing cone collapsed to the ground, his face filled with remorse.

It slapped itself several times and said:

"I'm an idiot, I'm not human!"

Laoshan Road:

"You're not even human!"

Laoshu kicked it hard and cursed:

"Stop being sarcastic at a time like this."

Then he said to Jiang Yu:

"Young friend Jiang, it's entirely up to you how to deal with it."

Jiang Yu nodded and said:

"Now is a time when we need people. As long as you sincerely repent, we can let bygones be bygones."

Hearing his words, all the demons were stunned, and even the armor-piercing cone looked on in disbelief:

"But I've already sent out the authentic information, which has harmed everyone."

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and said:

"What I want is for you to send it away; otherwise, why wouldn't I stop you first?"

The demons were completely bewildered.

Jiang Yu smiled and explained:

"Once the Firetail Rats get information about the three secret passages, they'll definitely send troops to block the exits. Why don't we just walk out the main gate openly and honestly?"

"The flames are half burned; the other half can be navigated using the wooden plaques and the control array."

Right!

The demons suddenly realized what was happening.

Laoshu gave a thumbs-up and said:

"Young friend Jiang is indeed very clever."

Seeing that there was still a chance to salvage the situation, the armor-piercing dagger solemnly kowtowed before Jiang Yu:

"From now on, my life is at your disposal. If I ever harbor any disloyalty, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."

Jiang Yu helped it up and smiled:

"You said you've given me your life, so how are you going to repay me?"

The armor-piercing cone looked puzzled.

Jiang Yu glanced at the black-tailed wolverine, raised an eyebrow, and said:

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

"As a Taoist priest of the Maoshan School, isn't clearing away corpse poison a piece of cake for me?"

The armor-piercing spike shuddered, its pupils dilating:

"Do you have a way to save my people?"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said:

"Once we reach a safe place, I will treat your people."

The armor-piercing spike swayed slightly, its eyes bloodshot, and said:

"If you can save the lives of our people, our entire clan will never forget your great kindness."

Jiang Yu nodded and said to everyone:

"Now that the matter has been resolved, let's not delay any longer and set off immediately."

The demons were no longer as dejected as before.

Leave directly from the exit of the Poisonous Forest.

They first sent a small team to scout ahead, and sure enough, there wasn't a single enemy in sight.

They made the most of their time and left as quickly as possible.

……

At the exit of the tunnel in the back mountain, the ambushed men waited for a long time but no one came out, which made them suspicious.

A Firetail Rat guard reported:

"Young clan leader, something's not right. Could we have been tricked?"

As he said this, he glared at the flamboyant man.

The flamboyant man frowned and said:

"What does this have to do with me?"

Fat Tiger said:

"The poison I used to control the black-tailed wolverine was provided by your older brother. If it doesn't work, you'll be primarily responsible for this."

The glamorous man suddenly realized:

"I see. I thought they had some other plan."

"It's still using our Painted Skin Ghost's stuff."

When his elder brother went to the Firetail Rat Clan to discuss matters, he was spreading rumors about Jiang Yu, so there were some things he didn't know.

Nevertheless, he had absolute trust in his elder brother.

He patted his chest and said:

"You can rest assured, the poison my brother administered is something no one else can cure."

After waiting for almost half an hour, there was still no sign of them.

The flamboyant man couldn't sit still any longer. Suddenly, a possibility flashed through his mind.

He stood up and exclaimed:

"Could they have just slipped away through the front door?"

"Let's hurry and chase after them!"

Fat Tiger didn't make any move; instead, he slowly closed his eyes to rest.

If that's true, then they're doomed.
