I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

However, her behavior became extremely strange. Every two or three nights, she would unconsciously wander around the sect at night, which made the disciples of Qi Tian Sect very confused.

Elder Wu collected a large amount of information about the Qi Tian Sect through Zhu Ji and prepared to launch a sneak attack on the Qi Tian Sect.

His conspiracy is quietly unfolding, and Zhu Ji has become a chess piece in his hand, unable to extricate herself...

As night fell, the Qitian Sect was peaceful. The moonlight fell on the ancient buildings, adding a mysterious touch to this ancient sect.

However, this tranquility did not last long, as a strange figure began to wander around the sect.

"Hey, isn't this our Princess? Why is she not sleeping and hanging around here in the middle of the night?" a disciple of the Qi Tian Sect joked.

Zhu Ji passed by expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard anything. This was already her third night in a row wandering around the sect.

The disciples all looked at him curiously, but no one knew the reason.

"Is she sleepwalking?" a disciple speculated.

"Maybe he is practicing some mysterious technique!" another disciple said, causing a burst of laughter.

Zhu Ji continued to walk as she pleased, her steps light and erratic, as if she were walking in a dream. Her eyes were empty, but there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Do you think it will be a problem if she wanders around like this?" a thoughtful disciple asked worriedly.

"What could be the problem? She is a princess, and our sect master is also in the sect, so there is no need to worry." A seemingly brave disciple said nonchalantly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ji suddenly stopped and turned around slowly. Her eyes flashed with a cold light, which made people shudder.

"You...what do you want to do?" The brave disciple suddenly stuttered, obviously frightened by Zhu Ji's strange behavior.

Zhu Ji did not speak, but slowly approached him. Her movements seemed slow, but in fact they were extremely fast. The disciple retreated in fear until he hit the wall.

"Help!" He shouted for help, but the disciples around him just stood there and watched, no one dared to come forward to help.

Zhu Ji slowly stretched out her hand, as if to strangle the disciple's throat. However, at this moment, a golden light descended from the sky and fixed Zhu Ji in place.

"Who is so rude here?" A majestic voice came, and Zhao Qi walked slowly towards them with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Ji seemed to be trapped by the golden light, unable to move. Her face showed a painful expression, as if she was struggling against some force.

"Master, help!" The disciple who was frightened by Zhu Ji crawled behind Zhao Qi and pointed at Zhu Ji with a terrified face.

"She...she wanders around the sect like this every night, and tonight she even tried to strangle me!"

Zhao Qi frowned. He naturally knew Zhu Ji, the princess from Zhuzi Country in the mortal world, and also a disciple of his sect. But why did she behave so abnormally?

"Zhu Ji, do you admit your guilt?" Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice, while waving his hand to remove the golden light that trapped Zhu Ji.

Zhu Ji regained her freedom, but her eyes were still empty. She shook her head slowly, as if she didn't know what she was doing.

"Master, I... I don't know what happened." Zhu Ji's voice was trembling and weak. "Every night, I would lose consciousness and wander around the sect."

Zhao Qi frowned upon hearing this. He knew there must be something fishy going on, but what kind of power was controlling Zhu Ji?
"Starting tonight, you are not allowed to leave your room again." Zhao Qi ordered, "I will send someone to find out the truth and give you justice."

Zhu Ji nodded and retreated obediently. Zhao Qi turned to look at the disciples who were watching the fun, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that there are many secrets hidden in our sect."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples lowered their heads, not daring to look Zhao Qi in the eye.

They knew very well that this sect leader not only had a high level of cultivation, but also had a meticulous mind. It was simply a pipe dream to hide anything from him.

So, starting from that night, a vigorous "ghost hunting" operation was launched in the Qi Tian Sect.

Zhao Qi also secretly investigated the reasons for Zhu Ji's abnormality, trying to uncover the truth behind it.

In the next few days, Zhao Qi and the disciples in the sect conducted an in-depth investigation.

They discovered that Zhu Ji's abnormal behavior was indeed related to some mysterious power, and this power seemed to be inextricably linked to the Blood Puppet Sect.

"Could it be that Elder Wu of the Blood Puppet Sect is secretly controlling Zhu Ji?" a disciple speculated.

"It's very likely." Zhao Qi nodded. "Zhu Ji once went to the Blood Puppet Sect to learn the Rejuvenating Face Art. It's possible that Elder Wu had tampered with her at that time."

In order to confirm this speculation, Zhao Qi decided to go to the Blood Puppet Sect in person to find out.

In the Qitian Sect, the disciples were not idle either. They began to strengthen the sect's defense measures to prevent the Blood Puppet Sect's sneak attack.

At the same time, they were also trying to find a way to remove the puppet technique from Zhu Ji.

The night was as dark as ink. The lights in the Blood Puppet Sect's main hall were bright, but there was a gloomy atmosphere.

The witch elder sat in the hall, his black robe making his complexion look even paler, and he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

"Disciples, listen carefully!" Elder Wu's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a hint of weirdness and coldness.

"The hypocrites of the Qi Tian Sect claim to be righteous, but in fact they are extremely hypocritical. Although our Blood Puppet Sect is misunderstood by the world, we hold the real power!"

The disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect were all enthusiastic, as if they were infected by the words of the Wu Elder. They knew that the elder's next words would definitely set off a bloody storm.

"Recently, I got a lot of information about the Qi Tian Sect through a special friend."

Elder Wu paused, a sneer appeared on his lips, "Now, it's time to give them a surprise."

Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately became excited and began to whisper and discuss the matter.

"Elder, are we going to launch a surprise attack on the Qi Tian Sect?" a disciple couldn't help but ask.

"A sneak attack? Humph, that's too easy for them." Elder Wu snorted coldly, "What we have to do is to teach them a profound lesson, to let them know how vulnerable the so-called righteous path is in the face of absolute power!"

The disciples were so excited that they seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. However, Elder Wu's next words stunned them.

"However, we cannot act rashly. After all, the Qi Tian Sect has a profound foundation, and we need to wait for the best opportunity." Elder Wu said slowly, "And this opportunity is coming soon." The hall fell into silence, with only Elder Wu's voice echoing.

He seemed to be brewing a huge conspiracy, and the disciples of the Blood Puppet Sect became chess pieces in his hands, ready to launch a fatal attack on the Qi Tian Sect at any time.

However, at this moment, an untimely voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Elder, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." A simple and honest disciple stood up and said while scratching his head.

"Speak!" Elder Wu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the disciple who interrupted his plan.

"Um... do we really want to launch a surprise attack on the Qi Tian Sect? Will we be beaten back?" the honest disciple said cautiously.

Elder Wu almost vomited blood when he heard this. He stared at this simple-minded disciple with wide eyes, cursing in his heart.

How could such a troublemaker appear at this time?
"You...what's your name?" Elder Wu asked, suppressing his anger.

"My name is... Daniu." The honest disciple answered nervously.

"Daniu? What a nice name!" Elder Wu said with a wry smile, "Since you have so many concerns, then stay at the sect. When we return triumphantly, we will share the joy of victory with you."

“Oh…” Daniu scratched his head, seemingly not realizing the irony in Elder Wu’s words, “Then…then you elders should be careful.”

Elder Wu waved his hand helplessly, signaling Daniu to leave. He secretly felt lucky that Daniu was just an exception.

He regained his spirit and began to plan the next action in detail.

However, what he didn't know was that this big guy was not really honest.

In the Blood Puppet Sect, every disciple has his own little thoughts. The reason why Daniu said this is because he had long seen that Elder Wu's plan was somewhat unrealistic.

He didn't want to become a victim of this conspiracy, so he deliberately interfered.

As the night deepened, the lights in Qi Tianzong's study remained bright.

Zhao Qi sat at his desk, reviewing the files of the sect's affairs with a sharp gaze. His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about something important.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a file recording the behavior of the sect's disciples.

Among them, Zhu Ji's name appeared frequently, and each time it was related to night travel. Zhao Qi couldn't help but frowned, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"Why does Zhu Ji always act at night?" he said to himself, "Is there some secret that she cannot reveal?"

Zhao Qi put down the file, took a deep breath, and decided to call together the capable people in the sect to discuss the matter together.

He stood up, walked to the door of the study, and said to the disciples waiting outside, "Go call Liu Ruyan, Lu Xueyao, and Han Feng, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with you."

After a while, Liu Ruyan, Lu Xueyao and Han Feng hurried to the study.

When they saw Zhao Qi's serious expression, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, knowing that something important must have happened.

"Master, what do you want to talk to us about?" Liu Ruyan asked first.

Zhao Qi did not speak, but handed them the dossier of behavior record. The three of them took the dossier with doubts and read it carefully. Soon, they also discovered Zhu Ji's abnormal behavior.

"Why does Zhu Ji move around so frequently at night?" Lu Xueyao asked in confusion, "Does she have any special purpose?"

"I also think there's something wrong with this Zhu Ji." Han Feng continued, "I noticed her before, but I never found any conclusive evidence."

"In that case, let's secretly investigate the origins and purpose of this Zhu Ji."

Zhao Qi said in a deep voice, "I suspect she may be connected to some forces outside."

Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement: "The Sect Master is right, we should indeed investigate this Zhu Ji. However, we also need to be careful so as not to alert the enemy."

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I know what to do. The three of you will be responsible for investigating Zhu Ji's background, daily behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Remember, you must do it secretly and don't let her know."

"Yes!" The three of them answered in unison and then left the study.

In the next few days, Liu Ruyan, Lu Xueyao and Han Feng began to secretly investigate Zhu Ji's situation.

They collected information through various channels and even sneaked into Zhu Ji's room to search. However, after a few days, they did not find any valuable clues.

That night, the three of them gathered in the study again to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "This Zhu Ji is so cunning. We haven't found any conclusive evidence so far."

"Yeah, she seems to have been deliberately avoiding our sight." Lu Xueyao also sighed, "What should we do next?"

Han Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can start with her social relationships. She can't be alone all the time, right? Maybe we can get some clues from her friends."

Liu Ruyan and Lu Xueyao nodded in agreement after hearing this. So the three decided to continue investigating Zhu Ji's social relationships in the hope of finding a breakthrough.

However, just as they were about to leave the study, an unexpected person appeared - Zhu Ji!
She stood at the door, looking at the four people in the study with a pale face, as if she already knew their plan. There was an awkward and tense atmosphere in the air.

Zhu Ji's appearance made Liu Ruyan, Lu Xueyao and Han Feng feel a little helpless. They didn't know how to deal with this sudden change.

Zhao Qi seemed relatively calm. He looked at Zhu Ji and slowly asked, "Zhu Ji, why are you coming to the study so late? What's the matter?"

Zhu Ji did not answer Zhao Qi's question, but asked instead: "Master and the three senior brothers and sisters, what are you discussing here? Is it related to me?" Her voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she was not calm inside.

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Zhu Ji, you are overthinking. We are just discussing some sect affairs here." He did not want to alert the enemy at this time, so he chose to conceal the truth.

However, Zhu Ji did not seem to believe Zhao Qi's words. She stared at the four people in the study room, as if she wanted to see something from their eyes. Suddenly, she turned and left, leaving the four people in shock.

"She seems to have noticed something now." Liu Ruyan looked at Zhu Ji's departing back and said calmly, "Then what should we do next?" (End of this chapter)
