242: Chapter 93 The Shocking Case [Third Update]_2 242: Chapter 93 The Shocking Case [Third Update]_2 Two Great Golden Immortals, along with two Heavenly Immortals, took action simultaneously, and everything became much simpler.
They first locked onto the three confirmed internal traitors—True Immortal Ge Tianqi and his two nephews without rushing to make a move.
Li Ping’an secretly memorized the aura and Dao Charm of this True Immortal Ge, then used the art of disguise to transform Zisang Daoist into this True Immortal Ge.
Mix the fake with the real, creating confusion with falsehood.
Then, Granny Linghua and Li Ping’an displayed transformation skills, turning into two bees and burrowed into the sleeves of Zisang Daoist.
Zisang Daoist changed into a dark robe, donned a cloak, and quietly left the city, heading for the Demon soldiers’ encampment.
On the way, Granny Linghua transmitted a message with her voice:
“Ping’an, did you realize early on that something was wrong with the demons here?”
“Why would Granny ask such a question?”
“I have just covered the land of the Demon Race with my Immortal sense and heard them discussing the disappearance of those thirty-plus lesser Demon Kings.
They said those Demon Kings were usually the most extravagant, with many private treasures in their caves.”
Granny Linghua chuckled:
“The various signs here have even made them suspect that high-ranking demons are the ones robbing them of their wealth.
“If you hadn’t intentionally targeted them, how could you have so precisely only robbed the wealthiest batch of Demon Kings?
And those Demon Kings were wealthy, most likely, because they were colluding with our traitors.”
Li Ping’an smiled, “Granny, I truly didn’t know about this.
My master and I came here to slay demons, so that I could break through my bottleneck.”
The bee that Granny Linghua had turned into shook its front legs:
“Maybe it is the Great Fortune of your father at play, giving you an opportunity to make a significant contribution for the Eastern Alliance.”
Li Ping’an silently sighed.
He hoped it was an opportunity, not a calamity.
Zisang Daoist inquired through voice transmission: “We are near their camp.”
Li Ping’an looked out from his sleeve cuff and saw a valley wrapped in the glimmer of fires.
Next to hundreds of campfires, groups of small demons with human bodies and beastly faces were drinking and making a racket.
Zisang Daoist asked, “Senior, Ping’an, do you need me to use an Escape Skill to approach their main tents?
There are four main tents here, each with Demon beings of Heavenly Immortal Realm strength.”
“There’s no need to go to such trouble.”
“Brother Ye, please just fly a circle above these main tents, releasing the aura and Dao Charm disguised by the Magic Artifact, and see if they take the bait.
“If any major demon is colluding with this True Immortal Ge, they will naturally have the other major demons withdraw and come to meet him themselves.
“If they come after us directly, I would ask Granny to make a move and eradicate these Heavenly Immortal Realm major demons.”
Granny Linghua agreed softly.
With a Golden Immortal in the sleeve and great enlightenment as his companion, Zisang Daoist was full of confidence.
He soared into the sky, like a hawk gliding through the night, dispersing the disguised aura of a True Immortal Daoist everywhere.
The group of demons was startled; the whole valley plunged into chaos.
From the four main tents, situated on slightly higher ground in the valley, over a dozen dark figures burst forth, rolling up wild black winds and carrying grim black clouds.
A chill spread throughout Zisang Daoist.
Being targeted simultaneously by six Heavenly Immortal major demons and eight True Immortal Realm major demons was a first in his life.
But that feeling of urgency quickly dissipated.
Zisang Daoist glanced back slightly and saw that the only remaining trailing black wind contained a slender figure.
Zisang Daoist exclaimed with surprise through voice transmission:
“You were right indeed!”
Li Ping’an sighed, “I didn’t wish for this to come true…
Head to the gorge ahead and descend.
Wait for her to come over, keep your back towards her and stay silent, continue to mimic that True Immortal Ge’s posture.”
Zisang Daoist took a deep breath and plummeted toward the gorge ahead, landing in a shadowy area at the bottom of the valley.
The black wind behind dissipated, and the tall and slender figure of the Demon Race beauty flashed into the shadow, staring at the familiar figure in front of her, she said coldly:
“Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?”
Zisang Daoist did not reply.
Granny Linghua was ready to strike at any moment.
The beautiful Demoness snorted, “You clearly sought me out here, allowed me to arrange conveniences for you, and I vouched for you, letting the seventy-two caves ally with you.
How could you be so ruthless in the end!
The Human Race really does love to betray their word!”
Li Ping’an immediately transmitted his voice to Zisang Daoist.
Zisang Daoist said in a hoarse voice, “We’ve been spied upon, it wasn’t us.”
The beautiful Demoness narrowed her eyes slightly: “If it wasn’t you, then why only target those minor kings from the caves that allied with you?
If you don’t give me an explanation, I certainly won’t spare you hypocrites!”
Zisang Daoist slowly turned around, removing the cloak on his head, his face with age spots had a few more hints of coldness.
Following Li Ping’an’s voice transmission, Zisang Daoist said slowly: “Between you and me, it turns out one of us has let something slip…”
The Demoness turned to flee, but the moment she made a motion, Granny Linghua’s figure appeared eerily behind her.
Granny Linghua slammed her palm down towards the top of the Demoness’s head!
The Demoness fell to the ground, soft and boneless, and Granny Linghua casually seized her, throwing her into Zisang Daoist’s arms.
Granny Linghua said, “A black marten, not even twenty thousand years into her Dao, I’ve sealed her demon soul.
Take her back; her demon soul should be enough.”
Zisang Daoist quickly adjusted his stance, holding the Demoness’s arm with one hand, so as not to be accused of taking advantage of the Demoness’s predicament.
The bee that Li Ping’an had transformed into peeked out from Zisang’s sleeve cuff and whispered, “Granny, please transmit a message to my master and the others—be careful when they make their move.”
“No worries,” Granny Linghua laughed, “I just received a message from our uncle, unable to restrain his hot temper, he’s already knocked out the four Heavenly Immortals in Yongchu City.
We’ll just bring this demon back with us.”
