After changing her master, she turned to the ruthless way, and the whole sect knelt down

Before the next day's dawn, the entire garrison city was already bustling with activity.

Song Xing and Fu Yuanzi brought the monster in Jiang Zhan's skin to the other team leaders' houses overnight, which scared dozens of other team leaders awake.

They gathered together and looked at the monster that looked no different from a normal person except for the skin it was covered in. They felt disgusted and afraid.

"What's going on? Could it be that the disciples of the Sword-wielding Sect left the city without permission?" This was the only explanation that the leader of the Miaoyin Valley monks could think of at the first moment.

Because of the old grudges between the two sects, these disciples have always only maintained superficial peace and have not been on good terms with each other in private.

Fu Yuanzi was immediately displeased when he heard what the other party said. "What nonsense are you talking about? We, the Sword Holding Sect monks, have always abided by the rules. There are even regulations in the city that prohibit unauthorized entry and exit of the garrison city. Our people would definitely not knowingly break the rules."

"These were brought by the two groups of ghosts in disguise earlier. They are just really good at hiding and have been hiding until now."

This explanation not only failed to reassure the team leaders, but made them even more terrified.

Song Xing also said, "Now is not the time to ask about its origins. The skin-covered ghost has been in the city for who knows how long, and who knows how many fellow Taoists have encountered accidents during this time. We must check everyone in the city as soon as possible!"

There were also some clever ones who immediately figured out the key point: "In a few days, some cultivators will leave Senluo Realm. If there are ghosts among those leaving..."

The team leader didn't finish his words, but the expressions of the others changed. They had all thought of the consequences.

Realizing this, everyone dared not delay any longer. They checked themselves first. After confirming that there were no ghosts among the team leader, they went to find a few of their most trusted fellow disciples and began self-inspections in their areas.

Xie Liuyin was found in the middle of the night. She heard the noisy noise outside and felt something was wrong, so she changed her clothes and went out to check.

She happened to run into Liao Yan who came looking for her, and learned from him that there were still skin-covered ghosts in the garrison city.

Xie Liuyin lowered her brows, feeling anxious. Although she was the one who came up with this guess, she was also worried and didn't really hope that she was right.

Even though she was proven right, Xie Liuyin couldn't be happy at all.

Seeing this, Liao Yan comforted her, "Don't be sad about this, Junior Sister Xie. We should be thanking you instead. If you hadn't thought of this, we would have been fooled and wouldn't have realized the danger was right beside us."

Especially since Senior Brother Song Xing also told him Xie Liuyin's final guess, that a group of cultivators would be leaving soon, and if those monsters really found an opportunity to escape.

All of Liao Yan and his companions will become eternal sinners in the world of cultivation, and he will never forgive himself.

Thinking of this, Liao Yan couldn't help but feel grateful to Xie Liuyin.

Since Xie Liuyin and his companions had only been in Senluo Realm for two days, and their identities had been confirmed by their fellow disciples, they were temporarily judged to be safe. They also had to follow several team leaders to help them check the remaining people one by one.

The Qingxiao Sect was lucky because they gathered together every day to discuss matters concerning the Senluo Realm, so the skin-wearing ghost didn't find an opportunity to take action, and the remaining sixty people were finally checked and found to be fine.

But the situation on the Sword Holding Sect side was different. Jiang Zhan had been lurking for too long, and several other people who had come into contact with him had already been infected.

It was later discovered that, in addition to Jiang Zhan, four other members of the Sword Holding Sect had been replaced by ghosts.

After finding out all this, Fu Yuanzi blamed himself immensely. He felt that it was because he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a team leader that so many of his fellow disciples died silently.

If he could gather his fellow disciples together regularly to communicate like Song Xing did, perhaps he would have discovered something was wrong earlier and at least been able to save the other four people.

But it is too late to say this now. The monks' investigation of their whereabouts finally alarmed the skin-covered ghosts. Several skin-covered ghosts realized that the situation was not good, and without waiting for anyone to find them, they tried to attack other monks or find opportunities to escape from the garrison city.

But the team leaders had already sealed off the entire garrison city before they began the investigation, just to prevent the ghosts from escaping.

Although these skin-covered ghosts are good at hiding, their strength is very average. Although they are good at escaping, this skin helps them disguise themselves while also restricting them.

The monks showed no mercy and were determined to keep these ghosts alive to avenge their fellow Taoists.

After a night of turmoil, there were 25 more bodies in the city.

There were still three living ghosts who they planned to keep for interrogation.

Looking at the bodies of so many familiar people on the ground, sadness filled the hearts of everyone present.

Many of them will be leaving the Senluo Realm soon, as they still have relatives and friends waiting for them in the world of cultivation.

But at this moment, these people were left in this desolate land forever.

"Their corpses were eaten by the skin-covered ghosts, leaving only this skin. For a moment, I don't know whether it is more cruel to send them back or to keep them here." Fu Yuanzi's face was as cold as ice.

Taking the skins back is undoubtedly telling their relatives and friends what kind of torture they suffered before their death.

But if they don't bring the skins back, then these people will really be left with their corpses in a ghost place like Senluo Realm.

Song Xing sighed deeply, "Let's use some deception to prevent them from leaving in such an undignified manner."

His proposal was unanimously approved by the other team leaders, and everyone took action to transform the skin bag on the ground back to the monk's original appearance.

Afterwards, everyone put them into the makeshift coffins one by one, planning to take their bodies back to the world of cultivation when someone was about to leave.

However, after experiencing this terrifying incident of the skin-covered ghost infiltrating, the monks became more cautious about returning to the world of cultivation.

Some of the more rational leaders planned to go to the demon cultivators first to inform them about the ghost in disguise and tell them not to be fooled.

Once a monster escapes from the Senluo Realm, it will bring endless troubles.

By then, it will not only be the righteous ones who will be in trouble, but also the evil and demonic cultivators.

The demonic cultivators stationed in the city originally did not welcome the righteous cultivators, and were even unwilling to listen to them speak.

But after the righteous cultivators told their experiences of last night, the evil cultivators suddenly became nervous.

They were relatively harmonious with each other and interacted with each other on a daily basis. Because of this, it was not so easy for the ghosts to attack them and not so many people died.

But it’s different for the demon cultivators. Even though they have come here, they don’t trust each other and don’t communicate much in normal times, making them the easiest to be targeted by the disguised ghosts.

They dared not imagine what the consequences would be if there were also ghosts among them.
