Chapter 1833 The Calm Before the Storm

boom!

Amidst the loud noise, the sudden appearance of the magic light separated the two people who were fighting. Liang Yan frowned slightly when he realized the identity of the person coming, and the expression of the Evil Lord also changed that day.

After a while, the two of them chose to give up at the same time and stepped back.

The difference was that Liang Yan took away the clone of "Gui Yi Jue", pressed down the sword light, and calmly retreated several miles away. His face was calm from beginning to end, without any disturbance.

Looking at Tian Xie Demon Lord again, he has taken away the magic form and showed his original appearance, but his fair and gloomy face is flushed. It is obvious that the fierce battle just now caused the blood and blood in his body to boil, and even his own aura was a little messed up.

Judging from this point alone, Tian Xie Demon Lord is still slightly inferior to Liang Yan. If the fight continues, he will lose more and win less.

"The Supreme Demon Lord, even you are here."

Liang Yan looked at a figure that suddenly appeared in the distance, his eyes gleaming.

The supreme demon king wears a crown of eight treasures and a purple and gold robe. Even in the night, he has a compelling aura, like a sharp sword, with its edge clearly visible.

"Sect Master Liang, you are now also a member of the Xuanxin Palace and have a respected position. Why do you need to get angry with my subordinates? What is the difference between fighting here and internal fighting?"

"hehe."

Liang Yan chuckled lightly and said calmly: "It was obviously you, Tianmoshan, who took the first move, but now you are attacking me in reverse. Are you using strong words to make excuses?"

After hearing this, Jisheng Demon Lord glanced at Tianxie Demon Lord and the four generals of the Ao family, and they seemed to communicate secretly for a while.

"Okay, I understand."

Demon Lord Jisheng nodded and said calmly: "What happened today is indeed something wrong with our Heavenly Demon Mountain. My subordinates did not understand the rules and bumped into Sect Master Liang. I, Jisheng, am here to help you. I hope Sect Master Liang will see it." In my face, what happened today is revealed, how about it?"

After hearing this, Liang Yan was calm on the surface, but secretly he was extremely surprised.

He has long heard about the character of the Supreme Demon Lord, which can be said to be arrogant and arrogant!

Even when facing masters like Wu Ci and Liu Changshou, he would not compromise at all. Why did he talk down to him today? He even took the initiative to apologize.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the more the Supreme Demon King behaves like this, the more suspicious he becomes.

"No! With his extremely victorious character, he would never say such a thing, unless he feels guilty and wants to cover up something."

Thinking of this, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Fellow Taoist Jisheng, if I remember correctly, the Tianmo Mountain Camp is millions of miles away from here. The wilderness here is not a good place for military training." Why do you, the top leaders of Tianmo Mountain, gather here late at night?"

After hearing this, Ji Sheng Demon Lord's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Fellow Daoist Liang, I just don't want to hurt our harmony so I have a friendly discussion with you. You and I are both members of the Xuanxin Palace, so what qualifications do you have to question me?"

"What happened tonight is weird. I suspect there is something wrong inside your Heavenly Demon Mountain. We must make things clear." Liang Yan said calmly.

"What a good Liang Yan, are you trying to slander our Heavenly Demon Mountain?"

Jisheng Demon Lord laughed angrily and shouted: "Liang Yan, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the support of Wu Ci and others! You said that there is an internal problem in our Tianmo Mountain, but there is tangible evidence? Okay, as long as you can If you bring out the evidence, I will immediately tie my hands and go to the Xuanxin Hall to kneel down and ask for military justice!"

"this"

Liang Yan frowned slightly, his expression a little uncertain.

I relied on Liu Changshou's tracking method to get here, but after this delay, those spirit insects had long since escaped without a trace. Where is the evidence?

The timing of Tian Xie Demon Lord's appearance was too coincidental. It was almost as if he was trying to cover the escape of those spiritual insects. How could he not be suspicious?

But suspicion is just suspicion after all. Without catching the traitor on the spot, and not finding the spirit insect, it is impossible to move the Ji Sheng Demon Lord based on just some guesses.

"The clues that we finally found are so hard to find, should we let the clues end here?" Liang Yan felt a little hesitant in his heart, and he was undecided for a moment.

Seeing him hesitate for a moment, Jisheng Demon Lord immediately sneered: "So it seems that Sect Master Liang has no evidence? Do you know how difficult it is for Nanxuan's army to gather together? Just because of your casual words, it is very likely that Let all the major forces be secretly jealous, so that they fall apart!"

This devil is too stubborn and there is nothing Liang Yan can do.

At this moment, a ray of light flew from the distant horizon and landed next to him.

The person who came was wearing long sleeves and loose clothes, holding a wooden staff, and sitting on a big blue turtle. It was Liu Changshou who had left and returned.

"Haha, why is Fellow Taoist Jisheng so aggressive? Fellow Daoist Liang only expressed suspicion and did not directly confirm it. Moreover, there are many doubts about what happened today. We will investigate it carefully and we will never wrongly accuse a good person."

"Old turtle, you have become a peacemaker!"

The Supreme Demon Lord glanced at him and sneered: "Well, I will give you a face today, and the matter ends here. But I still say the same thing. If Fellow Daoist Liang has any evidence, you can go to Xuanxin Hall to testify against me. , as long as the matter is true, and there is indeed a traitor in our Heavenly Demon Mountain, I will not only clean up the house, but also ask for punishment. But before that, I also ask Fellow Daoist Liang to be careful in his words and deeds, and not to destroy the unity of Nanxuan."

"Haha, of course, Xuanxin Palace has always taken justice as the first premise. I and fellow Daoist Liang will never frame any innocent person, but they will not let go of a fish that slips through the net." Liu Changshou said with a smile.

"It's good to know."

The Supreme Demon Lord said nothing more and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

Everyone in Tianmo Mountain respected his orders and each turned into a ray of light and followed behind. Before leaving, Lord Tianxie glanced at Liang Yan, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, as if he was not convinced by the fight just now.

Liang Yan's face was calm and unwavering.

After everyone in Tianmo Mountain had gone away, he said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Liu, we finally tracked down this far, are we going to let them go like this?"

"no way."

Liu Changshou sighed and said: "When I got close just now, I secretly used secret methods to detect them. I found no aura of spiritual insects around them, at least not on these people."

"But the timing of their appearance was too coincidental! If it hadn't been for the interference of the four generals of the Ao family, I would have almost caught those spiritual insects."

"I know."

Liu Changshou nodded and said: "I also suspect them, but unfortunately there is no evidence. Tianmo Mountain is not a place we can just search if we say we will search. If we make too much noise, it will easily alert the snake."

The two exchanged words, but they had no choice but to remain silent for a while.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, you are responsible for tracking down the other side. Did you find anything?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.

Liu Changshou sighed and said: "That aura was fake. I noticed something was wrong, so I rushed back immediately to see what was going on here."

"So, our work today was not in vain?"

"Not really."

Liu Changshou shook his head, took out a pair of chips as thin as cicada wings from his sleeves, and said slowly: "I found this while tracking. If my guess is correct, it should be the wings of those spiritual insects."

Liang Yan's eyes lit up, "Fellow Taoist is knowledgeable, can you tell the origin of those spiritual insects from these wings?"

"Sect Leader Liang thinks too highly of me. In fact, I don't know these spirit insects. However, we have a secret method in Wanshou Mountain to track their master's aura through these body fragments, but this takes time. Before we can find out, I Don’t wait to alert the enemy.”

"Understood."

Liang Yan was not disappointed, but nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'll leave the matter of tracking the spirit insects to fellow Taoists. Liang still doubts Lord Tianxie and the four generals of the Ao family. During this period, Liang will secretly monitor The monks of Tianmo Mountain. We work separately. No matter which side makes progress, there is hope of uncovering this traitor."

"That's fine." Liu Changshou smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Without further delay, I will return to the camp and gather my trusted people to start using the secret technique. Sect Leader Liang must also be careful and not take risks alone. Don’t quarrel with Tianmoshan until I find out the truth, otherwise it will be difficult for us.”

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, Liang will save it and leave today."

Liang Yan cupped his hands to him, and without saying another word, he turned around and turned into a ray of light, quickly disappearing into the night.

Half an hour later, Liang Yan returned to the Bamboo Army camp.

Most of the Nanxuan monks trained during the day and practiced at night. It was already late at night, and the Bamboo Army Camp was silent. Almost everyone was meditating and practicing in their own caves.

Liang Yan did not return to his cave, but went to the meeting pavilion alone, and at the same time released a communication talisman.

After sitting in the meeting room for a while, the door was pushed open and a slim figure walked in from the outside.

"Is there something urgent that calls me late at night?"

Nan Youyue's voice is ethereal and clear, and even the most impetuous person will feel soothed after listening to it.

But Liang Yan's face was still a little solemn. After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "From today on, gather all the ANBU members and make sure to keep a close eye on a place for me."

"So urgent? Where is it?" Nan Youyue asked in surprise.

"The Demon Army."

"The Demon Army? Why target them alone?"

"I suspect there are spies among the top leaders of the Heavenly Demon Army." Liang Yan said solemnly.

When Nan Youyue heard this, her face changed slightly and she said: "What happened to make you so sure? During this period, our personnel secretly monitored all forces, including Tianmo Mountain, and found nothing suspicious. "

Liang Yan sighed and told Nan Youyue everything that happened tonight, without hiding anything.

“So that’s how it is”

Nan Youyue listened from beginning to end, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "So, there is indeed something suspicious about Demon Lord Tian Xie, but the time when Demon Lord Ji Sheng appeared was also very coincidental. Could it be that he was also involved?"

"This is exactly what I am worried about." Liang Yan said with a solemn expression: "The Supreme Demon Lord is one of the ten people in Xuanxin Palace. If he has problems, then Nanxuan will have no secrets. And this mission is carried out , Li Yile was recommended by him. If we think about the worst, Taoist friend Yile may be in bad luck."

In Nanxuan, Nan Youyue was one of the people he trusted most and was also a staff officer, so he did not hide Li Yile's affairs from her.

"It's too early to say. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely that the Supreme Demon King is a spy. You must know that the North-South confrontation has been going on for several years, and Nanxuan has always been at a disadvantage. If there is a problem with the members of Xuanxin Palace, I'm afraid this place has been breached long ago." Nan Youyue expressed her opinion.

"Yes. I also hope that this matter has nothing to do with Demon Lord Jisheng, but Demon Lord Tianxie and the four generals of the Ao family are very suspicious."

"Actually, the most important thing now is to find out what kind of spiritual insects are controlled by the people lurking in the dark, and what their purpose is, so that everything can be connected together."

"Don't worry, the Wanshou Mountain side will investigate the matter of the spirit worms. Our task is to keep an eye on Lord Tianxie. I have a hunch that this is the calm before the storm. The so-called embankment of a thousand miles collapses in the ant nest. At this time Never let down your guard!"

"I see."

Nan Youyue nodded and said softly: "I will make arrangements for the ANBU, but I can only mobilize half of the manpower, and the other half is under Wu Ci's orders. Do you want to inform the ANBU?"

"No, now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Although Wu Ci can be completely trusted, there should not be too many people involved in this matter. Let us investigate in secret."

"good."

Nan Youyue didn't say anything more, took the order and left, starting to arrange the arrangements.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Yan was the only one left in the meeting room.

"It's faster than I budgeted. It seems like things are going to change."

Liang Yan sighed and looked at the endless night outside the window, his expression a little unpredictable.

In the next few days, Liang Yan stayed in the Zhujun camp and did not go out to investigate again.

He stepped up the progress of his troop training. After these days of drills, the cooperation between Black Front Camp, Evil Ghost Camp and Shenji Camp became more and more tacit. The soldiers and horses of the three battalions were well versed in the three talents and nine unique changes of "Heaven, Earth, and Man". Mysteries, fused together, form an invincible army.

Liang Yan was confident that even a sub-sage would never be able to escape as long as he was trapped by this million-strong army. The only outcome would be death.

He was very satisfied with this.

However, the progress on the other side was not smooth.

According to the news from the ANBU, Tian Xie Demon Lord has been reclusive since the last incident, rarely appearing in public, and leaving most matters to the four generals of the Ao family to handle.

The four generals of the Ao family seemed to have done nothing unusual, at least they had never done anything suspicious under the eyes of ANBU.

As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Liu Changshou summoned several trusted elders and began to cast spells to find the aura of the spiritual insect master.

The whole process lasted for three days and three nights, but at the end, it was disturbed by an unknown force. As a result, although the hiding place of the spiritual insect master was found, it was already empty, leaving only an abandoned manor.

There seems to be an invisible hand in the dark, erasing all traces.

All clues have been broken here
