Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

So I couldn't help but rub my temples with my hands.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Wenren Tianxia reached out and took one of her hands to comfort her.

Chi Junlin smiled at her.

Then he turned to the people at the table and became serious.

"Let me say this first. Now that Master Di is dead, there are only eight of us left on Sword Emperor Peak."

We are currently trapped here and will obviously have to stay for a few more days.

"But don't worry, I've already sent someone to inform the cavalry down the mountain. If they move quickly, reinforcements will arrive within a few days."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Hui Zhilan immediately asked, "Then how many days are we going to stay here?"

The other women also looked at her with puzzled expressions.

Chi Junlin pondered for a moment, then said, "It will take the cavalry two days to reach the nearest garrison camp, and another two days to bring the men back. Plus, we need to build a passable rope bridge within a day—"

We won't be able to leave here for at least five days.

Wei Ziqing couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no other way to get to Sword Emperor Peak?"

Clearly, she couldn't help but feel uneasy about spending five days in a courtyard where someone had died.

Chi Junlin nodded and said, "Wenren Tianxia and I have checked the area from both sides. It is surrounded by cliffs and it is extremely difficult to go up or down."

The other side of the broken bridge is at least a hundred feet away from the opposite bank.

I think it's impossible for humans to travel that far.

The girls all looked disappointed upon hearing this.

After thinking for a moment, Tong Yan asked Hui Zhilan, "Madam, are there any secret passages within Sword Emperor Peak that allow passage?"

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan shook her head and said, "There is absolutely no secret passage. That suspension bridge is the only way in and out."

Upon hearing this, the women exchanged glances, seemingly at a loss for what to do about the current situation.

It seems I really will have to spend five days with the remains of Di Cangshan's head.

However, at this moment, Chi Junlin tapped the table again, and after everyone looked at her, she continued, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Don't think that just because Master Di was killed, it has nothing to do with us.

From what I observed, the suspension bridge breaks off on one side of Jianhuang Peak, while the other end of the bridge is still hanging over the cliff.

In other words, the person who destroyed the suspension bridge likely did not leave Sword Emperor Peak.

Upon hearing this, the girls already had a bad feeling on their faces.

Tong Yan immediately spoke up, "Disciple, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the person who killed Di Cangshan is very likely still in this place. And, he might be among us."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, the women were immediately startled.

Seeing this, Wei Ziqing cautiously said, "It shouldn't be... like that, right? Everyone here is... a trustworthy person. We have no grudge against Master Di, so why would we want to kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin nodded with a deep gaze.

He continued, "Of course I'd like to think that way too. But the facts are what they are, so I can't help but consider the worst-case scenario."

Moreover, it wasn't just Di Cangshan that was attacked last night.

If I feel good, I should have been attacked last night too…”

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Tong Yan and Wenren Tianxia immediately showed worried expressions.

Wenren Tianxia immediately asked, "Lin Jun, are you injured?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin shook his head, then looked at Wei Ziqing with a slightly complicated expression before continuing, "Last night I treated Aunt Ziqing's poison, but unexpectedly, due to some reasons... I was also poisoned because of her condition..."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Wei Ziqing immediately showed an embarrassed expression and dared not meet Chi Junlin's gaze.

Then Chi Junlin said seriously, "Then, while I was using my internal energy to expel the poison, another woman came into the room and... and we... engaged in dual cultivation."

Chapter 164 What? I've become a furnace cauldron?

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, the girls immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Wenren Tianxia immediately widened his eyes and asked, "You mean... dual cultivation? Is that the kind of dual cultivation?"

Chi Junlin immediately nodded seriously and said, "It's that dual cultivation!"

Wenren Tianxia opened his mouth, seemingly speechless with astonishment, and asked, "But...why?"

Chi Junlin frowned and pondered, "The woman I cultivated with is extremely cunning and vicious. She took advantage of my poisoning and loss of consciousness to try and steal my inner strength through the method of dual cultivation."

At this point, Chi Junlin also found it amusing, and continued, "This woman is treating me like a furnace. She originally wanted to drain me dry and steal the internal energy from my body."

However, she did not expect that the Xuan Nu Cha Xiu Nei Jing (Mysterious Maiden's Inner Cultivation Classic) that I practiced could reverse Yin and Yang and counteract her dual cultivation technique.

Moreover, the depth of my inner strength far exceeded her expectations.

Therefore, she didn't achieve her goal; she simply left after draining a large amount of my vital energy.

After Chi Junlin finished speaking, he looked at the people around the table.

At this moment, the women all looked surprised, or somewhat incredulous.

No one showed any sign of something amiss, clearly indicating that this woman was very cunning, and it would be difficult to find any flaws in her through such probing.

At this moment, Tong Yan frowned and asked Chi Junlin, "But how did you discover that the other party wanted to extract your inner strength?"

Chi Junlin then extended a hand and explained, "I can tell from my own pulse. This woman must have worked extremely hard last night, using every trick in the book. Moreover, her method of exploitation is very likely an extremely dangerous dual cultivation technique of a demonic sect."

"What technique?"

"The art of seductive thought, not seductive thought, is the art of seductive goddess."

Hearing what Chi Junlin said, the girls were stunned again.

Wenren Tianxia asked in confusion, "What kind of cultivation technique is this? I've never heard of it before."

Chi Junlin sighed and said, “It’s normal that no one has heard of it, because the strange thing about this technique is that it’s a demonic dual cultivation technique created specifically for women to extract the internal energy of other women.”

If I hadn't been knowledgeable enough, and hadn't also happened to practice an internal energy cultivation technique that could transform yin into yang, I probably would have truly fallen for her trick.

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Feng Lingqiu seemed somewhat incredulous, saying, "How can there be such a strange and bizarre technique in the world? I've never heard of it before."

Tong Yan frowned at this moment and said, "I have indeed heard that the Demonic Sect has such a technique, which uses dual cultivation as a medium to absorb a person's internal energy."

It has been said before that there are beautiful young women in the Demonic Sect who specialize in seducing senior martial artists with profound internal strength. After successfully seducing them, they absorb their internal strength during dual cultivation.

The members of the Demonic Cult are known for their unpredictable and treacherous nature. It's not surprising that they would create such a bizarre cultivation method specifically for women to absorb energy through dual cultivation.

only……"

As she spoke, she looked around the area and then said to Chi Junlin, "How could there be traces of members of the Demonic Sect here?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin sighed again, "No one can say for sure about such things. Just like before, no one would have believed that the demoness Ye Qiancao from the Demonic Sect would dare to impersonate the current Grand General Chi Junlin."

After saying this, Chi Junlin carefully observed the expressions of everyone present once again.

Tong Yan and Wenren Tianxia still looked worried, needless to say.

Wenren Tianxia's master, Feng Lingqiu, showed a look of sudden realization, as if he had figured something out.

The Di mother and daughter still looked grief-stricken, seemingly still reeling from the news of Di Cangshan's death.

Wei Ziqing's expression seemed somewhat frightened, clearly realizing that there had been someone else in the room last night without her noticing.

Yan Sijun's expression was rather strange, as if she were expressionless and completely indifferent to what they were talking about.

Chi Junlin pondered for a moment, then continued, "In any case, this demonic woman hiding among us is definitely a great threat to us."

Perhaps she didn't intend to kill us all, but simply had a grudge against Di Cangshan.

However, since she covets my inner strength, she threatens the safety of all of us.

Therefore, we cannot leave her hiding here unattended.

We must find this ghost.

At this moment, Hui Zhilan looked nervous and said, "Miss Lin Jun, could it be that you're overthinking it?"

Is it possible that last night, after failing to kill my husband and extract your inner strength, this demoness escaped from here?

"There shouldn't be any members of the Demonic Cult among us, right?"

Chi Junlin looked at her and asked, "Then how do you think she was able to cross a hundred feet and leave after the suspension bridge was cut down?"

Even if it were possible, wouldn't you think it would be redundant?

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhilan immediately fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, Chi Junlin said, "Of course, since this woman was able to kill Master Di without alerting everyone in the courtyard, she must be highly skilled in martial arts. It's also possible that she has the ability to cross a hundred-zhang cliff with lightness skills."

But for now, we are still planning for the worst-case scenario.

Therefore, gentlemen, please recount the events of last night in as much detail as possible to exclude innocent people.

Of course, that includes myself.

I believe everyone agrees, right?

Upon hearing this, the women all nodded, indicating their agreement with Chi Junlin's opinion.

Then, starting with Chi Junlin, the people at the table took turns recounting the events of the previous night in detail, according to their seats.

Chi Junlin first recounted how he had treated Wei Ziqing's illness the previous night, and how he had encountered a woman practicing dual cultivation during the detoxification process.

This matter has already been discussed once, so I will not repeat it here.

Next was Wenren Tianxia, ​​who said she was sleeping soundly and didn't notice anything.

As for Wenren Tianxia's master, Feng Lingqiu, he told a strange story.

That was when she was meditating and practicing her qigong last night, she seemed to hear an argument coming from the first floor in the middle of the night. However, the argument ended quickly.

Then, not long after, footsteps were heard outside. At the time, Feng Lingqiu didn't pay much attention, but now it seemed somewhat suspicious.

Tong Yan then corroborated this, stating that she had indeed heard arguing downstairs. However, she hadn't noticed the footsteps, perhaps because she was asleep at the time.

Then came the Di family mother and daughter, both of whom said they went to bed early and therefore did not hear any noise.

But Hui Zhilan's expression was somewhat strange, as if she was hiding something.

Then there's Wei Ziqing. Because he shared a bed with Chi Junlin last night and fell into a coma early on, there's almost no information about him from his perspective.

Yan Sijun, however, hesitated for a moment before bringing up something.

"...I didn't sleep very soundly in the middle of the night, but I felt as if someone came into the room, came to my bedside, looked at me for a while, and then left."

At the time, I thought it was Aunt Tong or my mother, so I didn't pay attention.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like it..."

Upon hearing Yan Sijun's words, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.

Clearly, this information of hers is very important.

However, after thinking for a moment, Chi Junlin said to Hui Zhilan, "Madam Di, given the current situation, you shouldn't need to lie anymore, right?"

Chapter 165 There's a woman who really wants to get into my bed.

Hui Zhilan was slightly taken aback upon hearing Chi Junlin's words.

Then, blushing, she frowned at Chi Junlin and said, "I... I didn't lie?"

Hui Zhilan, after all, came from a distinguished family. Even though she was somewhat annoyed by Chi Junlin's words, her tone remained gentle and polite.

Her tone was less like arguing and more like she was being coquettish.

It's hard to imagine that a woman who has given birth could speak with the voice of a young girl, but this is Hui Zhilan's natural talent.

Just like her naturally unique body odor.

But Chi Junlin wouldn't indulge her at this point.

Instead, he continued, "Because what you said doesn't match what we said at all, and it's unreasonable."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Hui Zhilan seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and she became tense.

He stammered, "What...I said...is unreasonable..."

Chi Junlin then pointed directly at Feng Lingqiu and Tong Yan, saying, "Elder Feng just said that she heard an argument coming from the first floor while she was meditating last night. And Master can also corroborate that Elder Feng was not lying."
