Evil Master and Disciple

"Who are they?"

The old demon Youquan spoke immediately.

The others also looked solemn.

They have been investigating for such a long time, but they still don't have any clues about these spies in the Holy Church.

Although most of the masked killers who participated in the temple attack last night died, several masters of the evil cult were eventually captured.

These spies must have their own contact network. If we catch a few of them and follow the clues, we might be able to find a large number of spies lurking in the Holy Church.

The Poison God did not hide anything from everyone on this matter and mentioned the names of many top masters of the Demon Cult.

Some of them were captured by Buddhists, and some were recognized by the old demon Youquan after dying in battle.

Although these sects within the Demon Cult usually engage in intrigue and even scandals of fratricide are often reported, when facing external enemies, these sects will be unprecedentedly united and will not conceal any such information.

In comparison, the righteous side is not so good.

Master Yun Yi possessed a large amount of information, but he did not share it with the Demon Cult, nor even with his ally Lingtai Temple. That's why Lingtai Temple took the risk and designed the plan to use Chu Liunian as bait.

When the names of masters who had been famous in the Demon Cult for hundreds of years were spoken by the Poison God, some of them were elders from several major sects of the Demon Cult, which made Lu Tianchou and others look very ugly.

They never imagined that these senior masters had already been bribed by the Lord and became his lackeys.

He Quqiu gnashed his teeth and said, "It's true that it's difficult to paint a tiger's bones. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Qi Shang and Zhao Changhe, I have treated them well. For hundreds of years, they have been the elders of my Tianyin Sect. Their disciples also hold important positions in the sect. I never thought that these two would betray me and collude with outsiders! I will go back now and capture all of their disciples!"

Tuoba Gu's master, Old Monster Youquan, immediately spoke out to stop him, saying, "Brother He, please don't be impatient. This matter is of great importance. If we act rashly, we will definitely alert the enemy. Before we have detailed information about these people and before we are fully prepared, we must not act rashly."

Fairy Ziyin in the voice transmission mirror immediately said, "Indeed, this matter concerns the survival of all sects of our entire Holy Religion, and may even affect the safety of the entire human world. We must not act impulsively and must prioritize the overall situation."

He Quqiu said, "Of course I understand that the overall situation is important, but I'm just so angry. I've been so sincere to these two, and I never thought they would betray me!"

Lu Tianchou said, "You're not the only one who's been so open-hearted. Didn't two people from my Soul-Snatching Sect also participate in this? These are the people whose identities have been confirmed by the Poison God. At least twenty people have been subjected to the Heavenly Demon Decomposition Technique. Their bodies are completely gone, their souls scattered, and it's impossible to confirm their identities at all.

From the current perspective, the information provided by Shen Lin should be true. There should be at least 600 celestial beings and powerful people in the Void Transformation Realm in our Holy Church who have become the Lord's lackeys.

Only a little over a hundred elders from the Yunhai Sect defected to the Lord, but ended up implicating more than two thousand people.

There are more than 600 celestial beings and masters of the Void Transformation Realm involved in our Holy Church. As for the elders above the Divine Silence Realm, a conservative estimate is that 3,000 elders have betrayed us.

Regardless of how we handle this, this matter has already severely impacted the foundation of our Holy Religion and must be handled with caution."

Fairy Ziyin said, "Since Lingtai Temple has already captured a special envoy of the Lord and several elders of our Holy Church, should I continue to negotiate with Shen Lin?"

The Poison God said: "Of course, it is still unknown how many secrets the Yellow Special Envoy in the hands of Lingtai Temple knows, but according to my estimation, the Yellow Special Envoy should not know much about the issues of our Holy Church.

According to the accounts of the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect who were captured by Lingtai Temple in the capital before, the Lord has twelve special envoys under his command, and the one who is mainly responsible for the affairs of our Holy Church is the white special envoy in Shen Lin's hands.

As for the Holy Church elders captured yesterday, if they are in a single line of communication, it will be difficult for us to obtain more useful intelligence from them.

Therefore, we cannot interrupt the negotiations with Shen Lin and must prepare for the worst."

The old demon Youquan nodded slowly and said, "The Poison God is right. This matter is too big. We can't put our hopes on Lingtai Temple alone. We must take a two-pronged approach to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The Poison God said, "This old man and Master Xuanzhi also meant the same thing. By the way, Xuanzhi said that he could hand over the few Saint Cult elders he captured last night to us. Now it's just me and the Five Poison Boys here, so we're short on manpower. Besides, this isn't just a matter for the Five Poison Sect. You should all send some people over to take charge of these people."

Lu Tianchou asked, "Master Xuanzhi handed these people over to us. What did he ask for?"

The Poison God shook his head and said, "I don't have any requirements."

Several big men were slightly stunned when they heard this.

The old demon Youquan said, "Master Xuanzhi is indeed a great monk. In comparison, Shen Lin is inferior."

The Poison God said, "When it comes to profit, there's no such thing as superior or inferior. Although Master Xuanzhi didn't ask us to hand over these people, he's actually doing us a favor. If the Heavenly Gate opens again, the main battlefield will likely still be at Lingshan. Lingtai Temple needs our Holy Church to work with them to deal with the celestial cultivators."

By the way, the people you send must be strictly vetted, and be sure not to send spies hidden within the sect."

He Quqiu said, "Of course I can send someone over, but... who can guarantee whether it is a spy planted by the Lord?

"Before this, I have never doubted Qi Shang and Zhao Changhe from my Xuanyin Sect. Is there anyone I can trust now?"

The others all nodded slowly.

In the past, they had to gather here to discuss this matter because they didn't know who the spy was.

Now they have no idea about the identity of the spy in the sect.

They believed that from the current perspective, those people they had trusted before were most likely bribed by that Lord.

In the end, it was the old demon Youquan who made the final decision. He said, "Since we can't trust the disciples and elders in our respective sects right now, then we should choose from among the Grand Elders who have been secluded for a long time, just like the Five Poison Boys and Five Poison Grannies sent by the Poison God. The people we choose should be over 700 years old and have not left the sect for at least 300 years. The Grand Elders in these sects should still be trustworthy."

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

Lu Tianchou said, "It seems this is the only way. Since the Buddhist sect is willing to hand the person over to us, then there is no time to lose. Each of our factions should quickly select the right person and go to Lingtai Temple."
