Another Spy from Blood Demon Cult

Ye Chen wasn't the only one. Most of the people on the golden ship had also sensed the extraordinary power of Black Tortoise Mountain Range. They felt that this mountain range was filled with a thick evil aura and it made them feel a bit uncomfortable.

Xuantian Holy Maiden Xue Wei seemed to have sensed the change in atmosphere on the ship and her eyes shone with a bright light of wisdom. "I've specifically asked Holy Lord about the origins of Black Tortoise Mountain Range. He mentioned a rumor, where millions of years ago, the humongous Black Tortoise fell from the sky and died here. Its divine energy dissipated, and its huge body turned into a mountain range which is now Black Tortoise Mountain Range."

"This mountain range is really the manifestation of the divine beast?" Many disciples exclaimed.

"Well, rumors are called so because they can't be verified. The legend of the Black Tortoise is too vague and unreal. However, the baleful aura in Black Tortoise Mountain Range is indeed too dense. Everyone should still be careful."

But was it just a rumor?

Ye Chen frowned on the inside.

As they approached Black Tortoise Mountain Range, the Xuantian Holy Maiden seemed to have sensed something.

An elegant young man soared into the sky suddenly from a hidden valley. He cupped his hands toward the golden ship from afar and said, "Purple Cloud Peak's Meng Shaofeng greets the Holy Maiden!"

Xuantian Holy Maiden Xue Wei rose from the golden ship and smiled at Meng Shaofeng. "Junior Brother Meng, thank you for greeting us. There are no changes to the situation, right? Where are the other fellow disciples?"

Meng Shaofeng replied with a smile. "Holy Maiden, a few core disciples are secretly monitoring the base. It has been confirmed that it is a branch of Blood Demon Cult. As for the other disciples and elders, they are hiding in this nameless valley for the time being."

"Thank you for your hard work! Please tell the others to gather. We will attack the Blood Demon Cult's branch right now!"

Since the Xuantian Holy Maiden had arrived with great fanfare, she didn't want to waste any more time.

"Yes, Holy Maiden!" Meng Shaofeng nodded, raised his hand, and shot out a voice transmission talisman as instructed.

Ye Chen looked at Meng Shaofeng and information about him appeared before him, only for his eyes.

[Name: Meng Shaofeng]

[Identity: The core disciple of Xuantian Holy Land's Purple Cloud Peak (His real identity is a core disciple of Blood Demon Cult)]

[Cultivation: Mid Stage of Vision Realm, but his real cultivation is at the Peak Stage of Vision Realm]

[Character experience: Born in the branch of Blood Demon Cult in Black Tortoise Mountain Range, Meng Shaofeng is the son of the Blood Demon Cult elder, Meng Jiuxiao. Meng Shaofeng cultivated the Demon Embryo Purgatory Art since he was young, entered Wave Realm at the age of nine, opened his meridian at the age of fourteen, but failed to break through to Vision Realm at the age of eighteen. Desperate, he sacrificed a small town of ten thousand people and finally broke through to Vision Realm by force.

In the following three years, he continued to sacrifice four small towns and eight villages in succession just to raise his cultivation to the Peak Stage of Vision Realm. However, he had exhausted his potential which made it difficult for him to break through to Primordial Realm.

He infiltrated Xuantian Holy Land's Purple Cloud Peak at the age of twenty-two as their disciple. During the sixteen years Meng Shaofeng was in Purple Cloud Peak, he had searched for and found the Demonic Abyss Crack in Xuantian Holy Land. It was him who informed Blood Demon Cult of the Demonic Abyss Crack's location and consequently leading to Demon King Qingli possessing a Qingyun Peak disciple.

With Meng Shaofeng still spying for Blood Demon Cult, they had managed to set up an ambush for the incoming party. They were prepared to deal a heavy blow to Xuantian Holy Land.]

Another spy from Blood Demon Cult!

Ye Chen was flabbergasted. Did Xuantian Holy Land not check the backgrounds and identities of their disciples? With their track record of being infiltrated by so many from the Demonic Path - Demon King Qingli, Qi Hanxing, Meng Shaofeng - and the Xuantian Holy Lord's failure in detecting the Outer Realm Sky Demon in Liao Wuhen, Ye Chen wouldn't be surprised if there are spies from other sects of cults among the ranks of Xuantian Holy Land either.

Xuantian Holy Land needed to buck up their due diligence.

Now that the spy was right before them, Ye Chen needed to find a way to get rid of him quickly, or he wouldn't be able to feel at ease.

"Holy Maiden, Meng Shaofeng is a spy of Blood Demon Cult." Ye Chen transmitted his voice to the Xuantian Holy Maiden.

With Ye Chen's strong principle in being prudent and keeping a low profile, how could he take matters into his own hands? Moreover, it wasn't appropriate for Ye Chen and his disciple to act independently since this operation was led by the Xuantian Holy Maiden. It was better to let her think of a way to deal with this Meng Shaofeng.

There was a change in the Xuantian Holy Maiden's face. She scanned her surroundings with her divine consciousness for the sender of the voice transmission, but she couldn't find out who it was.

She couldn't take down Meng Shaofeng just because of some unknown person's information. However, her guard was now up.

At that moment, the valley lit up with a brilliant light. The hidden huge arrays opened one after another as beams of light flew out from all over the valley and landed on the huge golden ship. Upon landing, the new arrivals greeted the Xuantian Holy Maiden.

Ye Chen quickly glanced over the disciples who had just arrived and confirmed that none had been possessed by or were spies from Blood Demon Cult. He sighed with relief. Thankfully, they would only have to deal with one spy for now.

"Fellow disciples, we will attack the Blood Demon Cult's branch right now. We need to use the drums to cheer us on!" With a faint smile that showed off her sparkling-white teeth, the Xuantian Holy Maiden gently waved her jade-like hands and an ancient drum appeared on the golden ship. Two drumsticks with stains of dried blood rested on the surface of the drum that was covered in tiny cracks. The ancient drum seemed quite demonic in nature.

Soon, the two drumsticks raised themselves into the air, and each started to hit hard on the surface of the drum rhythmically.

The sound of the drum was deafening, heavily hitting the hearts of everyone present. Those who heard it felt a hidden emotion in the depths of their hearts being drawn out.

But only one person reacted a little differently from the others. Meng Shaofeng's eyes started to turn red and his throat emitted a low and hoarse voice as he said, "Holy Maiden, this is a strange drum. Please, top hitting it!"

But the beat of the drum continued, and Meng Shaofeng let out a low growl as black demonic Qi began to float out of and around his body.

"This is the Demon Summoning Drum. It can awaken the demonic nature dormant in a living being's body, thus revealing if a person is a human or a demon. Although it won't be long before it disintegrates after this use, it will serve us well to find the demon cultivators hidden among us," said the Xuantian Holy Maiden coldly.

Her vision started to show a magnificent scene of mountains and rivers intertwining with each other in ravines as clouds and mist swirled around them. An endless blue sea spread out far and wide in the background. With her vision showing large and bright behind her, she looked like a mystical maiden from the nine heavens.
