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

"My dear...where are you...my dear...Mother is looking for you..."

In the darkness of night, the madwoman, completely unaware of day or night, continued her tireless search along the road, just as she had been seen at the beginning.

She was searching for her missing daughter.

Under the moonlight, a man could be seen standing not far away, looking at the madwoman with a pensive expression.

The woman was dressed in red and had a beautiful face.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the person in question was none other than Lin Jun, the beloved disciple of Tong Yan, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and a distinguished guest of the Hui clan, a prominent family in the area.

I wonder why she wasn't sleeping in bed in the dead of night.

Instead, I came here to see a crazy old woman who was looking for her daughter.

The madwoman timidly searched around, asking questions incessantly in ditches and tree hollows, appearing even more insane than before.

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Jun.

Then, trembling, he walked up to her, reached out his trembling arms to support her, and said, "Anan, you...you're back? It's Mother...it's Mother..."

As she spoke, she buried her head in Lin Jun's chest and began to sob.

Lin Jun remained motionless, seemingly oblivious to the dirt on the woman before her.

She looked thoughtful, and after a long while she slowly spoke, "After thinking it over, I still think you, woman, are the strangest."

She was clearly a mad widow wandering around the village, yet she had no family or friends to care for her.

And having been here for so long, they haven't encountered any danger.

With no one to look after her and no begging allowed, how did a madwoman manage to survive in a place ravaged by bandits until now?

Looking back, the conflict between Wenren Tianxia and the Water Gang that day was all because of you, woman.

If you hadn't deliberately blocked the carriage and prevented us from leaving, we should have just left on the spot.

So who exactly are you?

As Lin Jun finished asking her questions, the woman remained unmoved, still pressed against her chest.

However, the sobbing gradually turned into a strange laugh.

The laughter sounded like the crying of a baby, or the howling of a jackal at night.

But Lin Jun's face remained expressionless; she simply stared coldly at the other woman, as if trying to see through her with her eyes.

Let's find out who she really is.

"Hehe...hehehehe..."

The woman chuckled strangely, then slowly took two steps back, before raising her hand and rubbing her cheek.

So her facial features were thus made into a mess by her kneading.

It's like a lost ghost stealing a human's face, but not knowing how to act, so it can only distort its face into a grotesque and incongruous appearance.

Combined with her strange smile, it appeared extremely eerie and terrifying in the deserted night.

But soon, the woman rubbed off a layer of skin from her face.

Next, a strange face, both alluring and enchanting, was exposed to the air.

It is still impossible to determine whether this face is her original appearance, because it is too eerie and profound.

More like a bewitching woman in a painting than a human face.

It's hard to tell how many layers of skin this woman has beneath her one.

It's like there are a thousand faces, layer upon layer, obscuring the original true appearance.

"Hehe... You don't recognize me after just a few days?"

The woman looked at Lin Jun and said with a smile, "These past few days, I've been watching you every moment, and I've never forgotten what you look like..."

As she spoke, a flush appeared on her face, and she stroked herself with both hands while gazing into Lin Jun's eyes.

It seemed that just being looked at like that made her involuntarily become excited.

So dissolute...and so licentious.

Lin Jun, however, remained expressionless as she stared at the other person.

It seemed that they had absolutely no interest in her performance at that moment.

"Hehe... Do you feel like you can't move? That's because you've just been poisoned by me."

The woman took a few more steps forward and leaned against Lin Jun.

Lin Jun remained motionless, her eyes following her body.

He let these alluring women, with countless faces, press close to him and draw circles on his chest with their hands.

"How could you be so careless? Didn't anyone tell you that you must keep your distance from women of the Holy Gate and avoid physical contact?"

Her face flushed with a fascinated expression as she slowly raised her hand to stroke Lin Jun's fair cheek, then said, "Now that's settled, you can't move anymore, so you can only come back with me and enjoy the boundless bliss of the Holy Gate..."

She blew air into Lin Jun's mouth while greedily licking her tongue, as if enjoying the immense satisfaction of capturing her prey.

Strangely, when the woman reached out to touch Lin Jun's cheek, she suddenly sensed something and her expression immediately froze.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?"

In the woman's eyes, Lin Jun, who should have lost the ability to move after being poisoned, lowered her head and smiled at her.

The woman was startled, as if she had suddenly realized something, and immediately retreated.

Like a beekeeper stung by a wasp, he fled into the woods almost without hesitation.

Lin Jun smiled slightly and followed behind the woman, taking light steps with an air of nonchalance.

Chapter 286 Searching for Enemy Traces at Night, Suddenly Encountering an Old Friend

After the beautiful woman, whose true identity was unknown, abandoned Lin Jun and fled, Lin Jun did not show much surprise on her face.

She had a smile on her face and her steps were especially light.

With his exceptional lightness skill, he trailed far behind the woman, seemingly unafraid that she would escape his pursuit.

The woman fled at an extremely fast speed, and her face now showed an anxious and angry expression.

He seemed to be blaming himself for not noticing the unusual thing about Lin Jun earlier.

We were still a bit careless.

Or perhaps, because she had the chance to capture the woman she had been longing for, she was so caught up in her emotions that she forgot all about these details.

During the escape, the woman raised her hand to look at the right hand that had just touched the other person.

My palms were turning black, as if they were stained with ink, and my whole hand was starting to change color.

The woman gritted her teeth, sealed the acupoints on her hands, and continued to flee.

She moved with extraordinary speed, flashing through the dark forest like a white ghost.

However, Lin Jun, who was following behind, was not in a hurry and seemed not to be afraid that the woman would run too far.

She strolled lightly through the woods, as if wandering in her own backyard.

They followed for a while, covering about a few miles.

The woman was no longer visible ahead, but Lin Jun was not in a hurry at all.

However, when they reached a fork in the road, Lin Jun paused slightly and frowned.

He seemed to be pondering something.

After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have figured something out.

He chuckled softly and quickly followed along one of the roads.

Clearly, the woman used some means at the fork in the road, leaving two separate tracks to confuse Lin Jun's pursuit.

But such a trick obviously couldn't fool her.

It seems that it won't be long before Lin Jun wins over the woman.

But just then, Lin Jun frowned slightly, as if she heard some kind of noise coming from the woods.

Then came a gasp from ahead, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.

It looked like some people were fighting not far ahead.

Lin Jun was not in a hurry; she simply waited in place for a while.

Not long after, a woman carrying a sword emerged from the woods.

Upon seeing Lin Jun, he showed a surprised expression.

"Lin Jun?"

Lin Jun stood there, stunned when she saw the woman who suddenly appeared.

Because the visitor turned out to be an acquaintance.

It was none other than the renowned master of the world, Feng Lingqiu.

"So it's Elder Feng. My apologies for my disrespect."

Lin Jun bowed to Feng Lingqiu with a slightly respectful expression, but it seemed that her doubts had not been dispelled much.

Obviously, it's somewhat illogical that Feng Lingqiu would suddenly appear in this place in the middle of the night.

At this moment, Feng Lingqiu was holding something in his hand, which was the head of the woman that Lin Jun had been chasing.

When Feng Lingqiu saw Lin Jun, a smile appeared on his face.

He continued, "I just arrived and happened to see this woman lying in ambush. Seeing that she didn't seem like a good person, I killed her. It seems she was lying in ambush on you?"

Lin Jun nodded, and Feng Lingqiu casually tossed the head to her feet.

She glanced at it briefly, then immediately looked away.

Seeing that Lin Jun remained silent, Feng Lingqiu continued to explain, "This woman should be someone listed on the Demonic Sect's Hundred Ghosts List, ranked eighty-first, named Qianbian."

She has countless layers of skin on her face and is especially skilled at disguise. She can impersonate all sorts of characters without a single flaw.

Moreover, she was skilled in using poison; many of my righteous followers have perished at her hands.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun nodded to Feng Lingqiu.

He then laughed and said, "I was just tracking this woman when Elder Feng happened to be here and killed her for me. What a coincidence."

At this moment, as if remembering something, he immediately asked curiously, "By the way, I forgot to ask Elder Feng, weren't you with my master before, carrying out the extermination of demons in Xiangnan? How come you suddenly appeared here?"

You should know that the Dongting Lake area is more than 200 li away from the southern part of Hunan...

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingqiu nodded and said, "I was just about to explain this to you. To be honest, ever since Alliance Leader Tong led us righteous people all the way to Hunan, our efforts to exterminate the demons have been thwarted at every turn."

She recently encountered another major problem that she couldn't solve, so she sent me here to ask for your help.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Lin Jun was slightly surprised and said, "My master is now the leader of the martial arts alliance. Is there anything she can't solve? Why would she need to ask me, her disciple, for help?"

"Well, it's a long story..."

Feng Lingqiu frowned and said, "Let's talk as we walk. You can tell me about what you've encountered here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun immediately smiled.

“Alright, Elder Feng, this way please. Let’s talk as we walk.”

Having said that, the two abandoned the severed head on the ground and turned to head back towards Xiangshui County.

At this point, Lin Jun spoke first to Feng Lingqiu, telling him about their group's experience of suppressing bandits on Dongting Lake.

Feng Lingqiu listened with a strange expression, feeling quite surprised.

Then he said, "I never expected what happened here to be so exciting. It's even more so than what happened in Hunan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun asked, "Oh? Something happened over there too? You just said that Master needed my help, is that because of this?"

Feng Lingqiu nodded, but hesitated for a moment before laughing, "Never mind, compared to your situation, ours are all trivial matters. Let's not talk about them."

"Well, this way..."
