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

However, Chi Junlin guessed that the commotion was probably caused by that disciple of the Corpse Driving Sect.

There was no particular reason, it was just a gut feeling.

Chapter 324 Making a Fortune by Raising the Coffin

Chi Junlin didn't pay much attention to the commotion in the second-floor room at the moment, and had no intention of going up.

Because she knew that what she was looking for wasn't up there.

After observing the ground floor for a while, Chi Junlin quickly discovered a passage made by two feet in the dust, leading to the back room.

This indicates that several disciples of the Demonic Sect entered and exited from this location.

Judging from the appearance, it should be to move those jars and pots that Chi Junlin had seen before.

She exchanged a glance with Wenren Xuan, and then walked in along the road.

We walked very carefully to avoid making too much noise by stepping on old wood.

The two then arrived at what appeared to be a storage room.

The items here are arranged very neatly. In addition to some jars and pots that are about half a person's height, there are also several small and thin coffins, which look like they contain things.

Chi Junlin felt that these items were arranged for easy relocation, so he might have to take them away from here soon.

So she gestured to Wenren Xuan.

The two then went up and searched carefully inside.

Chi Junlin first opened a few jars and found that they contained only ordinary salted fish or pickles, which looked like ordinary goods.

However, upon turning over the jar hidden inside, they discovered some strange, foul-smelling substances that looked like processed internal organs.

This puzzled her; she wondered who would need such goods.

Are there any martial arts techniques in the Demonic Sect that require internal organs?

As he was pondering, Wenren Xuan suddenly exclaimed and signaled Chi Junlin to come over quickly.

Chi Junlin walked over as instructed and saw that several of the jars contained children who had been tied up.

It was clearly a disciple of the Demonic Sect who came from the outside.

However, the children seemed to be under the influence of some strange drug, lying sound asleep in the jars, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Even when Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan opened the lid, the child inside did not react.

The two counted and found that there were at least ten children here.

Clearly, this refers to the children that Magistrate Yu had mentioned before, the children whose identities were stolen.

Wenren Xuan immediately asked Chi Junlin, "Should we rescue these children? These demonic sect disciples are clearly going to take these children away. I don't know what they want so many children for."

Chi Junlin thought for a moment, frowned, but still slowly shook his head.

Wenren Xuan was somewhat puzzled.

Chi Junlin then said, "I heard that more than a hundred children have gone missing in this area, and I don't know if the situation is the same in other counties."

The number of missing children is far greater than what we see here. Even if we rescue these few, what about the rest?

Should we arrest all the demonic sect disciples here and interrogate them one by one? Would we have enough time?

Moreover, even if time is spent interrogating them, what if these disciples are just peripheral personnel and don't know where the large number of children have been moved to...?

If the trail goes cold, it will be very difficult to rescue those children.

Wenren Xuan thought for a moment, and seemed to think that Chi Junlin's words made a lot of sense, so he said, "So what you mean is?"

Chi Junlin glanced at the coffin next to him and said, "Let's hide inside the coffin."

Wenren Xuan understood immediately upon hearing this.

Clearly, Chi Junlin felt that since the Demonic Sect had placed so many children at this stronghold, they would definitely have to be transferred soon.

After all, the child has only fainted, not died.

It seems that the Demonic Sect wants a large number of living children, so the time to act will be very soon.

The two of them obviously didn't have time to go back to the main camp and gather enough men.

It would be better to hide them among the "goods" of the Demonic Sect.

This way, at least we can follow the group to where the children are gathered.

With Chi Junlin's martial arts skills, he was not afraid of encountering any dangers on his journey.

If she could find the location where the Demon Sect was gathering children on a large scale, she would have countless ways to rescue them.

Now that you've thought of it, go ahead and do it.

The two quickly arrived at the nearest coffin.

Then, he gently pushed open the coffin lid and cautiously peered inside.

Unexpectedly, what came into view was a pair of eyes as wide as copper bells.

A familiar face suddenly glared at Chi Junlin.

Eight Immortals of the Earth?

Chi Junlin found the scene before him utterly absurd.

The Eight Immortals of the Earth, whom he had personally killed at the mortuary outside the Southern Capital, had now appeared in this place.

Things suddenly seemed extremely strange.

When Wenren Xuan saw that Chi Junlin had suddenly stopped moving, she didn't know what had happened, so she quickly called out to her.

Chi Junlin immediately came to his senses and then discovered that although Tu Baxian's eyes were wide open like copper bells, he was actually dead.

His head had been twisted off by Chi Junlin himself, so there were obvious stitches on his neck.

The body of Tu Baxian should have been placed in the morgue of the Southern Metropolitan Government after the case was closed.

It's as if someone specifically stole the corpse from the government office to bring it back to the Demon Sect.

I don't know whether to take it back for burial or to turn it into a corpse puppet.

Given the martial arts skills of the Eight Immortals of the Earth, Chi Junlin leans towards the latter.

Now that he knew the guy in front of him was just a cold corpse, Chi Junlin didn't care too much.

They then joined forces with Wenren Xuan to remove the bodies of the Eight Immortals from their coffins.

While it was easy for the two to hide in the coffin, the problem arose with how to dispose of the body.

Fortunately, this place seemed to be the warehouse of the Corpse Driving Sect, and there were several spare empty coffins in the corner.

So they stuffed the body of the Eight Immortals into one of the empty coffins and closed the lid again.

In this way, they could be sent out together with the coffins made of earthen clay and the jars containing the children.

Before entering the coffin, Wenren Xuan asked, "Should I find another coffin to go in?"

Chi Junlin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Tong Yan had told him earlier.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "You come in too, let's squeeze in and lie in the same coffin."

Wenren Xuan didn't think much of it; on the contrary, he even showed a happy expression.

He then followed Chi Junlin into the coffin and pressed himself tightly against her.

Chi Junlin then slowly closed the coffin lid.

The two were instantly plunged into darkness.

Lying in the coffin, Chi Junlin could feel Wenren Xuan's heartbeat.

In the cramped space, she couldn't see Wenren Xuan's expression, but she could feel her warm breath on her neck, a very strange feeling.

However, although the coffin didn't look very big, it didn't feel crowded when lying inside.

If we ignore the fact that this place was recently the site of a dead person—

Actually, sleeping in a coffin is quite comfortable.

Chapter 325 Night Talk in the Coffin

Coffins are meant to hold corpses; whether it's comfortable to lie in one is another matter.

But clearly, the breathing problem of living people inside was not considered.

Chi Junlin quickly discovered that the coffin lid was fitted extremely tightly to the outer wall.

The two of them would soon have trouble breathing inside.

After a moment's thought, Chi Junlin extended a finger, channeled his inner energy, and stabbed hard into the coffin wall.

Then a small hole, about the thickness of a finger, was poked out.

This small hole not only allows the two to breathe easily inside the coffin, but also allows Chi Junlin to observe the outside world and assess the surrounding situation.

Wenren Xuan laughed when he saw it, and then said, "This is good. If the two of us are to be buried alive, we can see what's happening outside through this hole."

Chi Junlin replied, "They won't bury us alive. They'll need the corpses of the Eight Immortals... unless they discover we're hiding inside..."

But that doesn't matter. I'll just break out of the coffin; they're no match for me anyway.

Wenren Xuan then said with a smile, "Yes, how many people in this world can be your match?"

The three great demons of the Demonic Sect—Zizaitian, Bian Renyao, and Guiwuji—even the three of them combined might not be able to defeat you…

Upon hearing Wenren Xuan's words, Chi Junlin remained silent for a moment.

Then he said, "Zizaitian, Bian Renyao, and Guiwuji. Tell me in detail about these three demons."

He hummed in agreement and said, "The deeds and legends surrounding these three demons are countless; I could talk about them for three days and three nights and still not finish..."

So let me briefly tell you about their current situation.

Zizaitian, the most skilled of the three great demons, ranked first on the Hundred Ghosts List. He is currently the sect leader of the Joyful Sect, but he rarely manages the affairs of the demonic sect anymore, leaving them to his trusted subordinates.

As for his current martial arts skills, I would say it's not good. Only Bian Renyao said that this person is unfathomable and no one in the Demonic Sect can fight against him. His martial arts skills are already on par with Lan Gexing back then.

He is also skilled in disguise, and his true identity is extremely mysterious, with his whereabouts being unpredictable.

Of the three villains, I know very little about him, so I can't tell you much.

Then there's Bian the transvestite.

You've met this guy before, and you know the details, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just tell you what you don't know.

As the current leader of the Corpse-Driving Sect, his actual strength is debatable, but his disciples are undoubtedly the strongest among the three demonic sects. Their martial arts also rank second on the Hundred Ghosts Ranking.

If the Demonic Sect were to vie for a new Demon Lord, then Zizaitian and Bian Renyao would be the most likely candidates.

As for Oni-hime, who ranks third on the list of a hundred demons, she is the only true woman among the three great demons.

As the sect leader of the Xuan Yin Sect, her martial arts skills were naturally quite high. However, compared to the other two demons, she was still inferior.

I've heard that many years ago, after Lan Gexing's death, Gui Wuji mastered the Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Technique and once competed with Zizaitian for the position of Demon Lord. However, she was no match for him and was severely injured.

So he then went into seclusion in Xuan Yin Valley for seven years to cultivate his inner energy, and only recently emerged from seclusion.

Although she has been asleep for the past few years, her strength is still not to be underestimated. No one has ever felt that her strength is unworthy of the title of third on the Hundred Ghosts Ranking.

Because the Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Technique cultivated by the Ghost Dancer is extremely unique, and most of the disciples of her Profound Yin Sect are women, these women can enhance her power by operating the Profound Yin Grand Array. If she were to operate it at full power, even the Free Heaven would have to avoid its edge.

Back when Oni-muhime fought against Zizaitian, the Xuan Yin Formation was not yet fully completed.

Now that seven years have passed, Ghost Dancer's martial arts skills must have improved even further.

So I can't say for sure who among them is better.

After listening to her, Chi Junlin nodded and continued, "You mentioned the three great demons. How strong is Ye Qiancao? Is she capable of making the list?"

Wenren Xuan paused for a moment, then replied, "As a Holy Maiden, Ye Qiancao is not ranked on the Hundred Ghosts List, a fact known to everyone in the Demonic Sect. However, as for whether her strength is enough to be on the list... well... I really can't give an evaluation."

"why?"

Wenren Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "Because Ye Qiancao's cultivation method is extremely special."

One is the Seven Transformations, another is the Divine Art of the Scarlet Thoughts and Non-Scarlet Thoughts, and the third is the Great Art of Soul-Capturing by Turning Thoughts.

The first technique was less of a martial art and more of a secret art of transformation passed down by the Demonic Sect, the Bone-Changing Technique. Ye Qiancao used this transformation technique to become the appearance of anyone he had ever seen. The resemblance was so perfect that it could even be mistaken for the real thing.

The second technique is a bizarre and powerful skill that specifically absorbs a person's internal energy. You previously thought this technique could only absorb a woman's internal energy, but that's a misunderstanding.
