Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Senior Brother Fang’s face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn’t utter a word.

He looked at Yan Yue in horror, his eyes filled with panic and despair. He looked around like a trapped beast, trying to find a chance to escape.

Yan Yue pressed on step by step, her tone as cold as ice, "Senior Brother Fang, do you have anything else to explain?" She took out the cult token she had found in the secret room before from her storage bag. It was exactly the same as the one that fell from Senior Brother Fang.

The two tokens emitted a faint dark light, as if silently accusing Senior Brother Fang of his crimes.

Seeing the token, Brother Fang completely collapsed. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees. "I... I..." He spoke incoherently, his eyes flickering, but he could no longer make up any lies.

Yan Yue snorted coldly, "Senior Brother Fang, you betrayed your master and colluded with a cult. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Senior Brother Fang's betrayal shocked the entire sect.

After Elder Qingyue learned of this, he immediately ordered Senior Brother Fang to be imprisoned, awaiting further trial.

However, the capture of Senior Brother Fang did not completely resolve the crisis facing the sect.

The Blood Demon's conspiracy continues, and the suspicion and distrust within the sect are intensifying.

Some disciples expressed doubts about Brother Fang's confession. They believed that Brother Fang was just a small pawn and that the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else.

Nong Jin, because of his previous contact with the Blood Demon, became the biggest suspect.

"Senior Brother Nong Jin, are you really not colluding with the cult?" a disciple asked cautiously, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone.

Nong Jin frowned, knowing that he had no way to defend himself and could only shake his head helplessly, "I didn't." His heart was filled with bitterness. He wanted to protect the sect and Yan Yue, but he was suspected instead. This made him feel extremely wronged and angry.

Some disciples in the sect began to monitor Nong Jin, which restricted Nong Jin's movements. He was worried that this would affect Yan Yue's investigation.

He found Yan Yue, his tone filled with worry, "Yan Yue, everyone in the sect is suspicious of me now, I'm worried..."

Yan Yue held Nong Jin's hand and gave him a firm look, "I believe you, I will find out the truth and clear your name."

Yan Yue knew that the most important thing now was to find the Blood Demon as soon as possible and stop his conspiracy.

She continued to investigate secretly, and Lingfeng was helping her collect intelligence.

One day, Lingfeng told Yan Yue that it saw Senior Brother Fang sneak out of the cell and head towards the back mountain.

Yan Yue's heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized that Senior Brother Fang might be going to meet the Blood Demon. She quietly followed Senior Brother Fang to a secluded corner in the back mountain.

Few people usually come here, and the surroundings are eerie and uneasy. Yan Yue hid behind a big tree and carefully observed the surroundings.

She saw Senior Brother Fang looking around furtively, as if waiting for someone.

After a while, a dark shadow floated over from a distance... "Your Majesty, something unexpected happened..." Senior Brother Fang's voice was low and rapid.

The black shadow slowly solidified, revealing a sinister and terrifying face, which was the Blood Demon.

His scarlet eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and a suffocating evil aura emanated from his body.

The air around seemed to freeze, filled with a creepy sense of oppression.

"Useless!" The Blood Demon's voice was like a roar from hell, shaking Senior Brother Fang's entire body. "You can't even handle such a small matter!"

Senior Brother Fang was trembling with fear and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have tried my best. It's just that Yan Yue..."

"Yan Yue?" A hint of viciousness flashed in the Blood Demon's eyes. "Is that the nosy little girl? It seems I have to get rid of her as soon as possible, so as not to ruin my big plan." The black energy around him rolled, as if it would choose someone to devour at any time.

Senior Brother Fang quickly echoed, "Your Excellency is wise. This Yan Yue is indeed a hidden danger. She..."

Before Senior Brother Fang could finish his words, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "Senior Brother Fang, do you have anything else to say?"

Yan Yue walked out from behind the tree, holding the token of communication between Senior Brother Fang and the Blood Demon in her hand. Her eyes were cold, like a goddess of judgment.

Senior Brother Fang and Blood Demon were both shocked. They hadn't expected Yan Yue to show up here. Senior Brother Fang's face turned pale. He knew he was completely exposed.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in the Blood Demon's eyes, "A mere Qi Refining cultivator dares to ruin my good deeds!" He raised his hand and a black air attacked Yan Yue.

Yan Yue was prepared and dodged the Blood Demon's attack with a flash of her body. She quickly formed a seal with her hands, and a flash of golden light bound Senior Brother Fang tightly.

"Brother Fang, come back with me." Yan Yue's tone was cold and left no room for questioning.

Brother Fang struggled, but was unable to break free from the golden light. He looked at the Blood Demon in despair, his eyes filled with a cry for help.

The Blood Demon snorted coldly, "Useless trash!" He flashed and disappeared into the night. He knew that now was not the time to fight, and he had to conserve his strength first.

Yan Yue took Brother Fang back to the sect and exposed his crimes in public.

In the main hall, everyone was in an uproar. They were shocked and angry at Brother Fang's betrayal.

"Impossible! How could Senior Brother Fang be a traitor?"

"This must be a mistake. Senior Brother Fang is usually so honest and kind..."

Some disciples still couldn't believe it and were unwilling to accept this fact.

Senior Brother Fang's face turned pale, but he still argued: "I didn't do it! I was wronged!"

Yan Yue sneered, "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" She placed all the cult tokens found in the secret room and the contact tokens just seized in front of everyone.

The two tokens emitted the same dim light, silently testifying to Brother Fang's crimes.

Seeing this evidence, Brother Fang was completely speechless. He slumped to the ground, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Elder Qingyue's face turned pale. She never expected that the disciple she had always trusted would actually betray the sect.

She said in a deep voice: "Brother Fang, do you have anything else to say?"

Senior Brother Fang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Come here, take Senior Brother Fang to the dungeon and wait for punishment!" Elder Qingyue gave an order, and the guards took Senior Brother Fang away.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy with discussion, with people expressing shock and anger at their senior brother's betrayal.

Yan Yue stood in the crowd, watching Senior Brother Fang being taken away, without a single ripple in his heart.

She knew that this was only the first step, and she had to continue investigating to find out the real mastermind and avenge her dead fellow disciples.

She raised her head, her gaze fixed firmly ahead, a hint of an icy smile on her lips. "Blood Demon, our game has only just begun..."

The capture of Senior Brother Fang did not make the atmosphere more relaxed, but made it even more solemn.

In the hall, people were still discussing the matter, and some were skeptical of Nong Jin.

"Although Senior Brother Fang is a traitor, this does not clear the Immortal Emperor of suspicion!" A disciple said bravely.

"Yeah, he was so close to the cult members before, who knows if he was just putting on a show for us?" another disciple echoed.

These doubts stabbed Nong Jin like sharp knives. He pursed his lips, his face was gloomy, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

He could have explained, but he didn't bother.

Everything he did was for one person only, Yan Yue.

He believed that she understood him.

Yan Yue felt the chill emanating from Nong Jin, and her heart tightened.

She knew that Nong Jin's patience had reached its limit.

She stood up, her cold voice echoing throughout the hall: "Everyone, there is no concrete evidence that the Immortal Emperor is colluding with the cult. Now that the traitor has been exposed, we should unite and fight the cult together, rather than being suspicious of each other."

Elder Qingyue also stood up to support Yan Yue: "Yan Yue is right. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should unite to face it. As for the matter of the Immortal Emperor, we will make a decision after we find out the truth."

However, some disciples remained stubborn and insisted that Nong Jin leave the sect.

"No! We can't take any chances. What if he's a spy for the cult?"

"For the safety of the sect, he must leave!"

Yan Yue looked at these stubborn disciples and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

She knew that these people did not really care about the safety of the sect, but were blinded by fear.

At this moment, Nong Jin suddenly spoke, his voice low and powerful: "You can ask me to leave, unless Yan Yue leaves with me."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked. No one expected Nong Jin to say such a thing. Yan Yue was also stunned. She didn't expect Nong Jin to go to such lengths for her.

She looked up at Nong Jin and saw him staring at her intently, his eyes full of determination and affection.

In full view of everyone, he walked up to her, gently held her hand, and interlocked their fingers.

"Yan Yue, I won't leave you." His voice was low and gentle, yet with unquestionable firmness.

Yan Yue felt the warmth of his palm, and her heart warmed. She shook his hand back, a faint smile on her lips.

"I won't leave you either."

These few simple words are worth more than a thousand words.

At this moment, a disciple hurried into the hall and reported in a panic, "Elder, Senior Brother Fang has confessed! He said... he said the cult's lair has powerful defenses, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

The hall fell silent once again. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Yue and Nong Jin. How could they break through this protective barrier?

Nong Jin looked at Yan Yue, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "Let's go."

His voice was firm and unquestionable. Yan Yue said nothing, but just held his hand tightly, his eyes full of determination.

Elder Qingyue looked at them, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, but he finally nodded: "Be careful."

As night fell, the two quietly left the sect and flew towards the cult's lair... Nong Jin took out an ancient parchment scroll from his storage bag. It was painted with complex patterns and emitted faint spiritual fluctuations.

"This is..." Yan Yue looked at him puzzledly.

Nong Jin unfolded the parchment and pointed at one of the marks. He said, "According to Senior Brother Fang, this is the only entrance to the cult's lair, but there is a powerful restriction at the entrance..." He paused, a cold look flashing in his eyes. "We need to find a way to break the restriction."

The parchment scroll was yellowed and the edges were a little cracked, but the lines on it were shining with a strange light, as if it contained some kind of powerful power.

Yan Yue observed carefully and found that these patterns were not ordinary runes, but rather some kind of ancient formation.

"This is... a simplified version of the ancient mountain protection formation," Yan Yue said with a hint of surprise, "I didn't expect that the cult could master this formation."

Nong Jin nodded: "Senior Brother Fang told me that this formation was obtained by the Blood Demon from an ancient site and modified. It is more powerful than before. It is extremely difficult to break it." There was a trace of worry between his brows, and his slender fingers gently stroked the parchment scroll, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

Yan Yue pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes: "Although the formation is complex, it is not invincible. What else did Senior Brother Fang say?"

Nong Jin recalled Brother Fang's confession: "He said that although this formation is powerful, its power will weaken on the night of the full moon, and a brief gap will appear. Only then can we enter the nest."

"A full moon night..." Yan Yue looked out the window. A crescent moon hung in the night sky, emitting a soft light. "It seems we have to wait for a few more days."

In the next few days, Yan Yue and Nong Jin were not idle.

Based on the clues provided by Senior Brother Fang, they carefully studied the formation on the parchment scroll, looking for an opportunity to crack it.

Nong Jin relied on his understanding of the formation to deduce the changes in the formation, while Yan Yue relied on some incomplete formation knowledge from his previous life memories to try to find the weaknesses of the formation.

Time passed day by day, and the full moon night finally arrived.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its silver light on the earth.

Yan Yue and Nong Jin arrived near the cult's lair as planned.

A powerful evil aura came over me, suffocating me.

The air around seemed to be frozen, filled with depression and fear.

Yan Yue and Nong Jin looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Be careful," Nong Jin whispered, "This place is full of restrictions."

Yan Yue nodded and carefully released his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding situation.

Sure enough, the surroundings were filled with dense restrictions, like a spider web, wrapping the entire nest tightly.

These restrictions emit a strange light that makes people shudder.

"It seems that Senior Brother Fang didn't lie to us." Yan Yue withdrew his consciousness, his face solemn. "The restrictions here are even more powerful than we imagined."

Nong Jin gripped the sword tightly in his hand, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, we have to go in."

They followed the route marked on the parchment and slowly approached the entrance of the nest.

As they approached, the surrounding restrictions began to make a buzzing sound, as if they would launch an attack at any time.

Suddenly, Yan Yue stopped and his eyes fell on a rock not far ahead.

The rock looked ordinary, but it emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation.

"There..." Yan Yue pointed at the rock, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Something seems to be wrong."

Nong Jin followed Yan Yue's gaze and noticed something strange. He slowly walked forward, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the rock.

The moment his fingers touched the rock, a dazzling light suddenly burst out...
