Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 187 Chapter 186: Seemingly solid groups are often broken from within
The commander who was speaking had a green face and white hair, and looked like a zombie. He had two sharp teeth under his lips, and looked a bit like an orc.

Coincidentally, Lin Beixuan was somewhat familiar with this man. He was one of the strange people from Qingyun Village whom he had fought with on the mountain road.

I think his name is Qingmiantuo.

"Commander-in-chief, are General Lu's remains hidden in here? If so, we must take the remains away as soon as possible, and make sure those guys outside don't find out."

In the dark tunnel, seeing that Yang Jian did not answer him, Qingmiantuo could not help but ask again.

Lin Beixuan leaned against the wall and glanced at Yang Jian. He found that the other party turned his head with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on the Qingmian Tuo who was speaking.

"Why are you asking this?" Yang Jian's tone was icy, as if a cold wind was blowing, making people's hands covered with goose bumps.

"I'm just a little worried." Qingmiantuo paused before answering.

"It's very strange that the government officials attacked Qingyun Village this time. They seemed to have known that we had just obtained a batch of treasures from the Black Evil Valley. They held a banquet in the evening and launched an attack when we were relaxed..."

There was a cold light in Yang Jian's eyes as he stared at Qingmian Tuo in the darkness.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone guessed that something was wrong.

Yes, it didn’t make sense that the people from the government office would attack Qingyun Village just when they were holding a dinner party.

And most importantly, it was impossible for the spies they arranged to monitor the mountain roads to not return to the village in advance to inform the government officials after discovering them.

Even until now, they don't know whether the spy is dead or alive.

"Which clan is in charge of patrolling the mountain today?" Yang Jian spoke slowly.

Everyone frowned, but in the dark tunnel, they couldn't see who was next to them, so they could only look around.

"I remember that it seemed that Qingmiantuo was the leader of that clan?" someone asked.

Yang Jian looked at Qingmiantuo with eyes as sharp as needles. It was obvious that he, like Lin Beixuan, could see in this dark tunnel.

Qingmiantuo's voice gradually became low, like a ghost from hell.

"Hey, the commander-in-chief wouldn't suspect that I'm a spy from the government office, right?
Ever since I led my people into Wumeng Mountain, I have fought against corrupt officials many times and killed many of them. Moreover, I have never delayed anything you have ordered.

And now you are doubting me?"

As Qingmiantuo said this, the tunnel suddenly became silent, and only the faint sound of breathing could be heard.

Yang Jian's eyes flickered and he showed some hesitation. In fact, he was not sure whether Qingmian Tuo was a spy.

Since the thirty-six alien clans went up the mountain, everyone has worked hard together to build up their current home. The life they lead is much better than when they were fleeing before. Although they cannot be said to have a stable life, at least they have a stable residence.

He also didn't quite believe that Qingmiantuo would destroy the home he had built with his own hands.

But if he wasn't Qingmian Tuo, why would he ask that question?

Lu Chengjiang's remains were a common secret in the hearts of all clan leaders. After he became the commander-in-chief, everyone proposed to hand them over to him for safekeeping. No one knew where he had hidden them.

Now that Qingyun Village is facing such a crisis, Qingmiantuo suddenly asked such a question at this time, which is bound to arouse suspicion.

Yang Jian sighed: "Sorry, maybe I'm worrying too much."

"..."

Lin Beixuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

In his opinion, Yang Jian's words overturned all his previous suspicions and gave Qingmiantuo the opportunity to muddy the waters and get rid of his suspicion.

This commander-in-chief is not decisive enough!
Even at this time, you are still showing softness.

Although there is no evidence yet to prove that Qingmiantuo is the spy in the village, we should not just let the matter go.

Qingmiantuo heaved a sigh of relief, laughed, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I understand how you feel right now, Commander-in-Chief. Now is a matter of life and death for the village, so it's right to be a little wary."

"But please believe me, we are brothers!"

Lin Beixuan curled his lips in disdain when he heard this.

Why did this sentence sound so familiar to him?
It seems that in the secular world, the two people who fought each other for the house-guarding pestle said the same thing.

Qingmian Tuo said, "If General Lu's remains are really in this tunnel, we must not let them fall into the hands of outsiders no matter what."

Qingmiantuo said this with great righteousness, and at the same time he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Lin Beixuan, an outsider, causing everyone to become a little wary of Lin Beixuan.

In previous battles, Yang Jian was not the only one who saw Lin Beixuan's ability to summon fire crows and ghost soldiers.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "This time I am taking you through this tunnel not only to leave from another direction, but also to take away General Lu's remains."

"Then why are you still standing there? Let's do it as soon as possible!" said Qingmiantuo.

Lin Beixuan kept his eyes on Qingmiantuo, and inexplicably, he felt that there was some excitement in the other party's words.

Qingmian Tuo was so anxious to see Lu Chengjiang's remains, but even if he saw them, could he take the remains away from the commanders by himself? Or was there another way?
Or maybe, there are more than one spy among the commanders...

It would be fun if that were the case!

Lin Beixuan's eyes swept back and forth across the faces of the commanders in the tunnel.

The group walked very quickly in the complex tunnel. After walking for a while, they felt the narrow path around them disappear and they came to a spacious space.

"arrive!"

Yang Jian took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fists.

Lin Beixuan looked forward and found that this space did not look like a tunnel, but rather a primitive cave. The tunnel seemed to be built based on this cave.

In the center of the cave stood a dark coffin. It looked very ordinary, and due to the humid environment, the corners had already shown signs of decay. Was this where Lu Chengjiang's remains were stored?

Lin Beixuan walked around the cave, and then saw Yang Jian take out a fire starter and light the candlestick on the stone wall in the cave.

A dim light lit up, illuminating the dark cave little by little and spreading to the surroundings.

At this time, all the commanders also saw the coffin placed in the center.

Yang Jian walked to the coffin and pushed the lid open little by little, revealing a corpse as crystal clear as jade inside.

As the corpse appeared, a cold wind suddenly blew in the cave, and a faint smell of blood lingered in everyone's nose.

"Even after so many years, General Lu's corpse is still as crystal clear as jade. What a high level of cultivation he must have reached to achieve this!" someone exclaimed.

"Human Immortal? Or is it a higher realm as described in the secular legends?"

After everyone was briefly amazed, Yang Jian immediately closed the coffin lid.

"Just make sure the body is inside, and don't be disrespectful to General Lu again."

What he said was reasonable and all the commanders nodded in agreement.

Their ancestors had all followed Lu Chengjiang in battle. Strictly speaking, they were all Lu Chengjiang's juniors.

After seeing Lu Chengjiang's corpse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A commander with a hooked nose and unusually long arms suggested.

"Just carry the coffin and go."

"That makes sense. We can't leave General Lu's body exposed."

"I'm strong, let me carry the coffin!" Qingmian Tuo volunteered, "If the commander-in-chief doesn't believe me, then I will prove it with my actions. I will use my life to protect the safety of General Lu's remains!"

A number of commanders said they could do it too.

However, Yang Jian shook his head firmly: "Chiying has a point, but I will carry the coffin myself."

Seeing that Yang Jian directly rejected the idea of everyone carrying the coffin, a hint of viciousness flashed in the corner of Qingmian Tuo's eyes.

But he quickly hid it and replaced it with a smiling face.

"If the commander-in-chief has concerns in his mind, then let him handle it himself. We will just stay by his side to keep him safe."

In the corner, Lin Beixuan was in the shadow where the candlelight could not reach, and he chuckled silently.

Perhaps only bystanders can see more clearly!

Seemingly solid groups are often broken up from within.

Yang Jian didn't say anything. He put his hand at the bottom of the coffin, then lifted it up and put it on his shoulder.

There was another exit in the tunnel besides the one they came in from.

Except for Yang Jian, no one knows where the exit is. Because of the complex terrain in the tunnel, it is even possible that the intersection cannot be found.

The commanders consciously surrounded Yang Jian to ensure his safety and the safety of his remains.

But just as everyone was about to leave, a sinister voice suddenly echoed in the cave.

"Hehe... it's really hard to find. If it weren't for the blood you left in advance, I would have almost lost my way!"

"boom……"

The stone wall next to it was suddenly broken, and a huge monster-like figure with terrifying brute force appeared. Its huge claws grabbed a commander who had no time to react and dragged him over.

Then came a 'gurgling' swallowing sound.

pat.

The body was thrown to the ground.

"A man's blood is smelly and far inferior to the sweetness of a virgin's blood."

The candlelight flickered in the cave, casting mottled shadows on the cave wall, and Will's tall figure appeared in front of everyone.

Pale skin, muscles as strong as those of a wild beast, sharp fangs exposed, and dark red blood dripping from the tips of the fangs.

His eyes swept across Yang Jian's face playfully, and then fell on the coffin on his shoulders.

"Lu Chengjiang, who stirred up the world's situation and dug up the foundation of the dynasties for hundreds of years with his own strength, did not expect that he would be placed in a broken coffin after his death."

Will shook his head, looking somewhat regretful.

"Heroes are made by the times, but even if a hero fails, he can only end up in such a pitiful end, tut tut tut..."

"Give me the remains, and I can make your death easier."

“Impossible!” Yang Jian snorted coldly upon hearing this, and a terrible murderous aura erupted: “Even if you are in the God Invitation Realm, the nine of us may not be unable to fight you.”

"Nine people?"

Will suddenly gave a strange smile, and then the sound of a sharp blade stabbing into flesh was heard in the cave.

"Now you only have three left."

"There are three more, they are my people."
