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

Then, he suddenly spun around, dodging Song Ren's rapidly approaching sword.

But Song Ren missed with his first sword strike, and then launched several more, wielding his sword so tightly that it was impenetrable, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

However, Chi Junlin easily dodged Song Ren's sword with a simple turn of his feet.

Song Ren kept working, but his heart was filled with increasing horror.

Because the woman before him, though seemingly graceful in her movements, always managed to dodge his sword attacks with the slightest margin of error.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, even without making a move, it gave me a tremendous sense of pressure!

He couldn't help but feel a little scared, but the sword in his hand gleamed even brighter.

The footwork that Chi Jun used at this moment was the same as the Inviting Moon Mystery Step used in conjunction with the Star-Picking Sword Book!

Seeing that Song Ren had run out of tricks and could no longer come up with any moves that he found innovative.

He immediately stepped forward.

Amidst the dazzling array of sword strikes, he easily found an opening and made his move.

Then he raised one hand and easily pinched the venomous tongue that was dancing like a golden snake in Song Ren's hand with his fingers.

Then, to Song Ren's incredulous expression, his fingers trembled slightly.

He then snapped the sword in two.

At the same time, he lightly swung his arm.

One left and one right.

He swiftly used the tip of his sword to write the character "乂" on Song Ren's chest.

This is in conjunction with the point where the sword's edge is broken.

They together form the character "义" (yì), which means "righteousness" or "righteousness that reaches the heavens."

Song Ren's body trembled violently, and he fell backward with an expression of disbelief.

Although he was not dead at this time, Chi Junlin had already injured him to the point of rupturing his meridians with just two strokes.

The sword technique of the Star-Picking Sword Manual is fierce and powerful. Once mastered, it is said to allow one to ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth, and to pluck stars and grasp the moon.

How could a mere seventeenth-ranked member of the Hundred Ghosts List, who has betrayed the righteous path, possibly bear such a burden?

After severely injuring Song Ren and knocking him to the ground, Chi Junlin turned around, casually flicked his fingers, and sent half of the sword blade flying.

With a few loud bangs, the iron chains in front of the prison door and the chains that bound Lu Yuanlong were all cut.

Lu Yuanlong fell to the ground with an incredulous expression.

He then looked at Chi Junlin with a suspicious expression.

He wasn't suspicious of the other person's act of saving him, but rather of their identity.

Because the people of the Demonic Sect are unpredictable, it's hard to say whether this woman was just staging a self-inflicted injury with Song Ren to lower his guard.

However, judging from Song Ren's terrified expression as he struggled to get up, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

So she immediately asked Chi Junlin, "Who...are you?"

Chi Junlin smiled and replied, "You can call me Lin Qin for now. Don't worry, I am also a righteous person from the Southern Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanlong immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chi Junlin and said:

"Thank you, Ms. Ringo."

Chapter 346 The Benefits of Experience

Chi Junlin did not take Lu Yuanlong's thanks seriously, and quickly opened the remaining doors.

Soon, a large number of righteous people who had been tortured by conservative forces walked out of their cells, their hearts filled with excitement at regaining their freedom and resentment towards the demonic sect.

At this moment, the demonic disciples guarding the prison, seeing that the situation was not good, had already fled.

Thus, in the prison, only Song Ren, who had been severely injured by Chi Junlin, remained, lying motionless on the spot.

Although Chi Junlin still wanted to discuss important matters with Lu Yuanlong and other righteous people, it was clear that some things had to be said after they had vented their anger.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin gestured to the crowd.

"please."

The next moment, Song Ren saw Lu Yuanlong, covered in blood, leading a group of burly men whose expressions were filled with anger, slowly walking towards him.

"No...no...no!"

A mournful cry echoed throughout the entire Ghost Abyss.

Judging from the looks of it, it won't stop anytime soon.

-

Just then, Chi Junlin arrived at the Ghost Abyss Dungeon and released a group of righteous people who hated the Demonic Sect to the bone from the prison.

At the same time, the traitor Song Ren was given absolute and ultimate punishment.

Inside the Coffin Inn of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Feng Lingqiu slowly awoke from his dream.

The inn was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell the time, but Feng Lingqiu had a feeling that he had slept for a long time.

Recalling her previous conversation with Chi Junlin, she felt a little embarrassed.

However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Sidu agreed to Chi Junlin's words, then took the token of the Corpse Driving Sect elder that Chi Junlin had given her earlier, pushed open the door, and went out.

Arriving at the coffin shop, I saw that the sky was dark and lanterns were lit everywhere, indicating that it was already night.

The shopkeeper was dozing off when he heard footsteps and was startled awake.

Seeing that it was Feng Lingqiu who came out, he smiled and said, "Elder... have you rested well?"

At this moment, Feng Lingqiu was wearing the same black robe that Wenren Xuan had worn before, and his face was covered with a black cloth. His identity was unknown, but he did look somewhat like an elder of the Demonic Sect.

She nodded to the shopkeeper and continued, "The antidote you bought earlier worked quite well, and I haven't thanked you yet."

The shopkeeper quickly shook his head and said, "No need to thank me, but the elder's symptoms of poisoning are very obvious. It is clearly a poison that the Joyful Sect often uses to seal internal energy."

This poison is frequently found within the sect, so the pharmacy always keeps an antidote on hand. In fact, if the two elders were to go to the sect's pharmacy, they could easily obtain the antidote.

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingqiu casually replied, "Although I have often fought against the Joyful Sect before, this is the first time I have been poisoned. I never expected them to use such despicable methods."

"Isn't it?"

The shopkeeper continued Feng Lingqiu's tirade, "Of the three sects of the Demonic Path, the Joyful Sect is the most despicable! They love nothing more than swindling, cheating, poisoning, and drugging. Unlike us, the Corpse-Driving Sect, we are upright and honest, never engaging in petty theft!"

Feng Lingqiu thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Even from the perspective of the righteous path, compared to the Corpse Driving Sect and the Xuan Yin Sect, the Joyful Sect always acts the most wickedly, always without any taboos or bottom lines.

However, it is precisely because of their unscrupulous methods that the Joyful Sect is also the most powerful and influential demonic sect among the demonic sects.

Then, Feng Lingqiu chatted with the shopkeeper at the door for a while.

Because Chi Junlin had spent a lot of money here in advance, the shopkeeper was extremely enthusiastic at this moment.

It seems this guy is having a really tough time in the Corpse Driving Sect, where there are more ghosts than people.

It was rare to find someone to chat with for a while. Not only did the person not doubt Feng Lingqiu's intentions, but they also poured out everything they knew.

After learning a lot of information about the Corpse Driving Sect, Feng Lingqiu suddenly remembered what Chi Junlin had told him before.

He then asked, "I heard that the merchant caravans that traveled between our sect and Xiangnan previously collected a group of stolen children from outside and brought them back to Yindu under the guise of trade. And there were quite a few children. Is this true?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "I have indeed heard about this. Although I haven't seen the child, I have noticed that the merchants' disciples are quite wealthy lately."

Recently, the sect leader has been in seclusion, neglecting sect affairs and failing to properly supervise his disciples. It's possible that some of them might be engaging in the forbidden act of child trafficking.

I think we really need to take this into account.

Feng Lingqiu remained calm. Judging from the shopkeeper's words, even within the Corpse Driving Sect, using commerce as a cover for human trafficking was a violation of the sect's prohibitions.

If we investigate the matter of the children thoroughly within the Corpse Driving Sect, we might not find anything.

So how can we help Red King find the children?

Just as he was thinking this, a disciple dressed in black suddenly walked into the coffin shop.

He rang a bell in his hand, and behind him followed a beautiful female corpse dressed in a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), hopping and skipping forward.

If Feng Lingqiu had witnessed this scene from the outside, he might have felt a slight sense of dread.

However, placed in the ghostly realm of Yindu, it seems quite ordinary.

Upon seeing the disciple, the shopkeeper immediately clapped his hands and said, "Hey, isn't this a coincidence? Elder, this disciple is a merchant disciple who just returned from traveling with merchants."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask him."

Then he said to the disciple, "Xiao Yu, come here for a moment, this elder has something to ask you."

The disciple called Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, so he went to the counter.

Feng Lingqiu then took out the elder's token and flashed it in front of him.

Xiao Yu immediately tensed up and respectfully greeted Feng Lingqiu, "Greetings, Elder!"

Feng Lingqiu didn't find anything wrong with it. After all, before coming here, she was an inner sect elder of the Guashan Sect, one of the Five Great Sects of Lingnan. She knew very well how to treat these disciples.

So he nodded to the other person and said in a slightly authoritative tone, "Don't be nervous. I didn't come here specifically to see you. I just have some questions for you."

"Elder, please speak freely."

"I heard you recently returned to Yindu with a merchant caravan. Do you know that a group of children were transported in with the caravan?"

Upon hearing Feng Lingqiu mention the word "children," the Corpse Driving Sect disciple immediately became flustered, his tone slightly tense.

"This...this...this disciple was only responsible for accompanying and protecting the caravan. As for what the goods in the caravan were, this disciple...has no idea..."

Feng Lingqiu, being an experienced elder, could tell at a glance what this disciple was hiding.

He was clearly hiding something.

After a moment's thought, she stepped forward and asked with a smile, "You really don't know?"

"No...don't know."

Xiao Yu dared not look Feng Lingqiu in the eye, and lowered his head.

Feng Lingqiu smiled upon seeing this.

"I don't know... that's for the best. Oh, by the way, I happen to have some things to take care of and need some help."

If you don't have anything else to do, then come with me.

Don't worry, it won't take you long.

Chapter 347 Obtained Without Any Effort

Hearing Feng Lingqiu say this, Xiao Yu, despite being sweating profusely, still forced himself to nod.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper behind him called out, "Elder, be careful when you go out. Don't run into those bastards from the Joyful Sect again and get injured."

When Xiao Yu heard the words "Joyful Sect," his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of fear even flashed in his eyes.

Feng Lingqiu acted as if he hadn't seen it and replied, "Yes, I will be careful. Thank you for reminding me, shopkeeper."

"Elder, walk slowly."

After saying that, he and Xiaoyu walked outside together.

Although Feng Lingqiu claimed to have something to do, he walked around somewhat aimlessly.

It seemed he was simply taking his disciples for a walk outside.

Although he didn't say anything, this disciple was already under immense psychological pressure.

Because he knew very well that the sect had always been extremely strict in its management of human trafficking, especially child trafficking.

If it is discovered that a disciple of the sect is colluding with outsiders without cause to smuggle contraband through the Corpse Driving Sect's trade routes, the disciple will be punished with water hell at best, and in severe cases, their martial arts will be crippled and they will be turned into a corpse puppet.

Previously, Xiao Yu had taken a chance and, along with other disciples, had taken on some goods from the Joyful Sect during several freight shipments.

This was originally normal, since among the three major sects of the Demonic Sect, only the Corpse Driving Sect had a large demand for corpses due to its long-term development. Therefore, in order to enhance its ability to transport corpses, its disciples had always spent a lot of money to maintain the trade route, so its trade transportation ability had always been outstanding.

In the past, business disciples would also take on some trade orders from the Xuan Yin Sect and the Huan Xi Sect in order to earn some extra money.
