Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Upon hearing this, the crowd stopped and looked at Xiao Yun, wondering what he was up to.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Tieshan frowned.

Xiao Yun glanced at him and said indifferently:

"The Thousand-Faced Demon is among you."

"What?!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.

"How...how did you know?"

Zhao Tieshan's face turned ashen, and he shouted sternly:

"Don't spread alarmist rumors! Everyone here is an elite member of my Qingcheng Guild. Their identities and recent experiences have been rigorously screened, so there can't be any problems."

Nothing is impossible.

Xiao Yun interrupted him, saying calmly:

"You underestimated the Thousand-Faced Demon. It doesn't necessarily need to lure someone into being alone in order to transform into that person's appearance."

"The moment you begin to fear it, it could very well replace you!"

Xiao Yun's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated in everyone's hearts like muffled thunder.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if an invisible hand was tightening around their necks.

The crowd suddenly dispersed, everyone gripping their weapons tightly and watching their comrades warily.

Zhao Tieshan's face grew increasingly grim, and he roared:

"Impossible. This is a rumor you deliberately spread to sow discord among us and make us fight each other."

"You're just playing tricks, trying to confuse people. I think you and that Thousand-Faced Demon are birds of a feather!"

Zhao Tieshan, his face contorted with rage, drew his broadsword with one hand and pointed at Xiao Yun and Qin Yuqing with the other:

"Or perhaps you are the Thousand-Faced Demon! You've bewitched this foolish woman, intending to wipe us all out!"

As he spoke, the terrifying power of the seventh sequence surged into the sky from his body, and his killing intent almost solidified.

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, inwardly marveling:

"This Zhao Tieshan looks like a burly, strong man, but he's actually a skilled actor!"

A few minutes earlier, when Xiao Yun found out the person Thousand-Faced Demon was impersonating through the pre-announcement information and suggested to Qin Yuqing that they join forces with Zhao Tieshan to set up a trap, he was actually a little apprehensive.

If Zhao Tieshan doesn't believe the telepathic message and betrays them, then dealing with the Thousand-Faced Demon will be countless times more troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tieshan's acting skills are so good; he acted out this conflict as if it were real!

"But that makes sense. Anyone who's survived since transmigrating and become a guild leader can't be a complete idiot, can they?"

Xiao Yun nodded to himself, feeling a sense of relief.

"In that case, the plan is already more than half complete..."

At the same time, Qin Yuqing, who was standing beside Zhao Tieshan, revealed her anger after hearing his words:

"Zhao Tieshan, even if you have a problem with me, you should consider the occasion! Now is not the time for infighting!"

"Hmph, feeling guilty now that the truth has been exposed? Brothers, let's attack together and kill the Thousand-Faced Demon and his henchmen!"

Zhao Tieshan snorted coldly and took the initiative to attack, brandishing his broadsword and charging towards Xiao Yun.

A terrifying wind howled in my ears, and the terrifying power of the seventh sequence swept over me.

"Zhao Tieshan, you've gone mad!"

Qin Yuqing gave a cold shout, and a small golden shield appeared in her hand.

On the small shield, the rune array glowed faintly, and a shield was raised in front of it, blocking Zhao Tieshan's attack.

The situation instantly descended into chaos.

Many people were persuaded by Zhao Tieshan and followed him to attack Xiao Yun and Qin Yuqing.

Under the siege of more than twenty professionals, Qin Yuqing's shield was instantly riddled with holes.

Click—click—

The shield made a cracking sound as it was about to collapse, and it seemed that Xiao Yun and Qin Yuqing would be overwhelmed by the group's attacks in the next second.

Just then, a deep, steady male voice rang out:

"Minister of Protection!"

Before they could finish speaking, a man dressed in special operations team combat uniform flashed in front of them.

"Open it for me!"

He let out a cold shout, and his magical power surged wildly in his hands, condensing into a crystal shield that blocked the storm of attacks.

"Jiang Yi!"

Qin Yuqing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes flashing.

"Minister! You all go quickly, I'll hold them off!"

The man's face was somewhat pale; resisting such a large attack had taken a toll on his energy.

But he gritted his teeth and refused to back down.

"We absolutely must find the Thousand-Faced Demon! Exclusive! An exclusive interview with Yue Cangmang and behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of 'Dormitory Group Transmigration: My Intelligence Updates Daily,' exclusively for Cola Novels. The future of the guild rests on your shoulders!"

Qin Yuqing's pretty face trembled with excitement, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Jiang Yi turned his head away, lowered his head, and gave a pleasant smile.

"Human nature is such a fascinating thing!"

"What would your expression be if your deputy risked his life to save you here, only to betray you on the run?"

"Hehehe! Just thinking about that despair and fear makes my mouth water!"

But just then, a soft laugh, even more delightful than his, suddenly rang out from behind him.

"What did I say? There's no need to point it out; it will just show itself."

Xiao Yun looked at Jiang Yi with a smile, but it chilled the latter to the bone.

Those crimson-gold eyes seemed to pierce right through its skin, meeting the ugly soul hidden within.

"Who exactly is he?!"

Jiang Yi was shocked and hurriedly looked at Qin Yuqing, preparing to make excuses.

"He's been with me since the special operations group was established..."

Qin Yuqing sighed softly, and with a wave of her hand, countless runes fell like raindrops.

Boom boom boom!

Several runic arrays instantly unfolded, sealing off space, freezing magical power, restricting movement, paralyzing the mind... and finally, bringing death!

The shield that Jiang Yi had created suddenly shattered, and he, who had been helping to block the attacks, was now caught in a desperate situation, attacked from both sides.

"Give it your all! Give it your all! Use every ounce of strength you have!!!"

Zhao Tieshan roared, his large cleaver tearing through the air, and a terrifying force crashed down.

Rumble!

A terrifying explosion of light and flame erupted, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a kneeling corpse remained in the charred crater.

Behind Zhao Tieshan, the others finally realized what had happened.

"So, this was all an act put on by Minister Zhao and Minister Qin! Absolutely brilliant!"

"Hahaha, the Thousand-Faced Demon is completely obliterated! We won, it's over!"

The crowd cheered, and the white-haired old man, Mr. Sheng, looked gratified, patting Zhao Tieshan on the shoulder:

"Excellent! Excellent! What a brilliant move of feigning one step while secretly advancing another! Old Zhao, you've truly impressed me today!"

"Let's go! Carry this monster's corpse and go see the guild leader to share the good news!"

Zhao Tieshan laughed heartily twice, his face beaming with joy:

"Haha, that's right, that's right, it's time to go and share the good news, Mr. Sheng, please!"

Old Master Sheng nodded, without suspecting anything.

As the most senior among the ministers and the core strategist of the Qingcheng Guild, he has always been ahead of the curve and enjoyed the respect of everyone.

But today, the situation is different.

The moment Elder Sheng turned around, Zhao Tieshan's smile vanished instantly, and his face darkened.

The next second, the large cleaver was thrust out with lightning speed, piercing through Elder Sheng's chest from behind.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and Sheng Lao's skin slowly dried up, like a deflated balloon.

Old Master Sheng stood rooted to the spot, a flicker of astonishment crossing his cloudy old eyes:

"So, the real target... was me?"

The next second, his lips suddenly parted into a strange smile.

"Interesting...really interesting."

His voice became hoarse and distorted, completely unlike that of a human.

"How did you find out?"

He looked at Xiao Yun, his eyes filled with doubt.

Xiao Yun did not answer, but simply took a step back.

"Let's do it."

Before he finished speaking, an overwhelming array of runes descended upon him.

Qin Yuqing's eyes were bloodshot, but her killing intent grew even more intense.

"This is the real body! Go all out! Kill him!"

Despite the overwhelming force of the attack that could kill a king-level expert, Elder Sheng showed no fear whatsoever.

It even revealed a hint of mockery.

"You set me up, and you think I wasn't on guard?"

As he spoke, his body twisted and melted like water, leaving only a withered shell in place.

"Hehehe... Things are finally getting interesting!"

The flames exploded, and Xiao Yun frowned as he looked at the charred body.

"This is troublesome..."
