Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

"You mean, he wouldn't speak when you were interrogating him?"

The head of the sect who had inherited a mess couldn't help but ask again: "You really didn't torture him to extract a confession?"

This guy's eyes are about to pop out!

Fan Ning said, "I already said it was the backlash of the evil spirit. I didn't even interrogate him. Besides, he doesn't look injured. At most, he's just a little fragile."

After politely explaining, Fan Ning signaled Ling You to open his mouth. Except for a faint wisp of evil spirit that was escaping, everything was intact.

"Maybe some kind of restriction has been triggered?" Fan Ning made a half-irresponsible guess. "After all, he's just a small figure with a little bit of something."

Zi Yi, with bloodshot eyes, opened his mouth and almost bit Ling You.

Fan Ning: "Look, he's full of energy."

Ling You also nodded without feeling guilty at all.

He finally understood that Fan Ning was definitely a master at fooling people, and the fact was that the group of people in front of him didn't really care about Zi Yi's fate.

After all, they heard everything Qi Mu said clearly.

"She seems to be quite capable. She can even see through things like this..."

"I should have made friends with her earlier. Now, in this situation, she's taking all the credit..."

Some people couldn't stand Fan Ning's excessive attention, so they hid in the crowd and sneered, "Who knows where this news came from? Maybe they are traitors planted among us by the demon cultivators..."

Hearing this, Ling You glanced at the person who spoke.

With just an eye contact, the person who was speaking shrank his neck, muttered a few interjections and ran away.

Fan Ning, who also saw the man's face clearly, spoke softly, "You'd rather believe I'm a demon cultivator than believe I'm lying... Haha, he's a bit perceptive, but still a loser."

Ling You: ...

Ling You wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Can you please not do this next time?" He looked at Fan Ning's hand that suddenly attached itself to his shoulder like a ghost. To ensure the effect, she also lightly touched his face.

I started to feel itchy all over.

"Next time for sure," Fan Ning answered casually, and walked towards Qian Jiangyue with a determined step.

Seeing her coming, Qian Jiangyue took the initiative to mention her discovery: "This demon insect is indeed different. Not only did it leave traces of loose-leaf demonic energy, but it also subtly attracted other demon insects."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, this connection is a single line. It can only connect and awaken, and cannot be completely removed. Moreover, this connection is already very shallow."

This means that you cannot rely on it to attract other magic insects.

Fan Ning's smile remained unchanged, but his words gradually became more sinister. "Then let's poison this bug to death first. If you can't kill it, putting it into a coma will be fine."

"We must ensure that it cannot wake up or suddenly contact the master behind the scenes. It is best to make it unable to control other insects."

"Remember to use mild medicine to stun the affected monsters. You need to make sure their bodies can't wake up on their own."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Zi Yi widened his eyes and struggled violently.

He was still mumbling something, but unfortunately Ling You's magic energy made him completely mute. Even if he crawled on the ground like a maggot, he couldn't utter a word.

"It seems I was right. There really is a loophole you can exploit. It's just that the conditions are harsh, right? For example, the initiative isn't in your hands?"

Fan Ning smiled and stepped on the flapping claw without mercy.

There was a "click".

Fan Ning covered his mouth with his hand apologetically, as if he had just discovered that he had stepped on something.

Zi Yi: ...

He was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the Demon Lord awakened the magic insect to check the situation.

Zi Yi, who was pulled back by Qian Jiangyue, almost fainted.

After crying alone for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes flashed with a fearless attitude and extreme hatred.

"Wait," Fan Ning stopped immediately.

When no one knew much about this thing, she suddenly and calmly changed her mind.

"Don't let this bug die, just make it pass out completely."

Judging from its impact on other insects, the most likely effect is simply severing the connection.

Fan Ning looked at Zi Yi's gradually pale face and smiled: "If something dies and it reminds the master of the retreat, it will be troublesome, right?"

Qian Jiangyue, who was closest to Zi Yi and had also watched the entire process of her facial transformation, said: "...You're right."

"The demon cultivators are vicious and cunning, and they might be capable of such a thing."

Qian Jiangyue's smile gradually brightened: "Then I will give him an injection of the latest poison. Maybe he will start to rot from the heart, and live... until he becomes something that no one can recognize."

Zi Yi shrank back in horror, watching the needle getting closer and closer to her, her pupils even turning into needle-shaped points for a moment.

After the injection, Qian Jiangyue looked at Fan Ning and asked to ease the atmosphere, "How did you come up with these ideas? You're really sharp..."

Fan Ning had a blank expression on his face. "His expression was too obvious. If it were me, I would definitely have a backup plan."

"For example, if they're discovered, the body will explode with a bang, sending countless small insects flying... Hmm?"

Ling You covered his mouth anxiously: "Speak less."

Don't be so skilled!

Can you please stop being so immersed in the perspective of a demon cultivator? You are a righteous cultivator after all!

Fanning: Really? I really am not.

"Your joke is really scary," Qian Jiangyue pretended to shudder, and looked at Ling You who covered his mouth accurately, and smiled meaningfully.

The monk who had been standing guard cautiously by the side swallowed and changed the subject: "That poison..." doesn't seem to be working?

Qian Jiangyue threw the unconscious Zi Yi aside and gave a different medicine to the other injured demons. "I lied to him."

After all, this body does not belong to the demon cultivator.

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Fan Ning, who had regained his freedom of speech.

Ling You had a bad feeling.

But this time, he didn't make it in time.

Fan Ning almost blurted out: "What a coincidence, I never lie."

The atmosphere became stagnant again.

Ling You covered his face, resigned himself to his fate and pulled her out of his sight.

The system was speechless: [Host, you did this on purpose, what good is there in doing this... Ling You won't even give me any heart points.]

Fan Ning showed no remorse: [How can there be no benefit? At least now, no one dares to say anything in front of me.]

system:【……】

Not only did he not dare to speak, he even subconsciously avoided eye contact!

"You probably don't have a good reputation now," Ling You sighed. After he finished speaking, he vaguely realized her purpose and was speechless for a moment.

Fan Ning nodded as if it was a matter of course, without any hesitation, "I deserve it."

Not only did she deal with the demonic cultivators, but she was also blamed. Did they really think she was a good man or a believer?

"No one will dare to bargain with me next time."

Ling You: “…”

Lingyou Soul asked back: "You don't think you still have repeat customers, do you?"

Isn't this a one-time deal?!

"Why not? I'm so cheap and good."

Fan Ning narrowed his eyes in delight, as if he had seen a bright and grand future. "Just wait and see. Sooner or later, they will create new problems. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to take advantage of them."

After all, such a greenhorn has the potential to be a repeat customer at first glance.

and……

Fan Ning looked indifferently at the hosts that were placed aside and had completely lost consciousness as the demon insect fell asleep. A ray of inorganic light flashed in his eyes.

"My sign is about to appear."
