Chapter 625 Traitor
The story of Tianyi Sect is simple. It is just that a sect in Baimazhou, which was originally full of talents, lost half of its elites in a battle with foreign invaders. After being forced to flee from Guiling Mountains, many disciples were scattered again. After gathering again, they only had one-third of their original strength. Fortunately, the Supreme Elder Jin was still there. With him in charge, the younger generations below had a backbone. Later, Tianyi Sect joined the Monks' Alliance.

"At that time, several of my uncles were still here, as were several of my brothers in Jinyuan Cave..."

Speaking of the first part, Yan Rufeng's expression was sad but he could still hold it in. However, when he talked about the second part, his eyes turned red again.
"After Tianyi Sect joined the alliance, we were often assigned to extremely critical and dangerous missions. Several of our uncles died one after another, and later on, several of our brothers also..."

I shed tears when I said this.
"In the end, I will be the only one left in Jinyuan Cave. In our generation, there will only be the senior brother Zheng Gang and three other junior brothers from Sandie Peak!"

"Zheng Gang..."

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and thought of Zheng Gang, the senior disciple of the same generation as herself from Sandie Peak. He entered the sect earlier than herself, and his realm was higher than hers when she was in Tianyi Sect. She had met him several times. This man had an honest face, and was very steady and generous in his dealings with others. He had a very good reputation among his fellow disciples!

Speaking of Zheng Gang, Yan Rufeng's expression began to change. His originally sad eyes turned into anger and resentment.

"Yes, it's him... Ever since several of his uncles passed away, he has been serving the Grand Elder. If it weren't for him, the Grand Elder wouldn't be like this, and we wouldn't have fallen to this point!"

Pu Yanlan frowned upon hearing this.

"What did he do?"

Eleven had met Zheng Gang several times in Tianyi Sect. Pu Yanlan remembered what Eleven had said after meeting Zheng Gang.

"This person is loyal on the outside but a traitor on the inside. He looks kind and generous, but in fact, he is even more narrow-minded than Sui Feng. I don't know how the elders of your Tianyi Sect choose disciples. How can they be so short-sighted?"

I didn't take it seriously at that time, but I didn't expect that Eleven really had an accurate eye for people and really saw through Zheng Gang!

"What did he do? Huh, hh, hh..."

Yan Rufeng sneered and gritted his teeth.
"He secretly poisoned the Grand Elder, causing damage to his soul..."

Pu Yanlan was shocked when she heard this.

"Why did he do this? He is a member of Tianyi Sect. What good will it do him if the Grand Elder loses power?"

Yan Rufeng gritted his teeth and said,

"He was originally only at the Golden Core Stage. After the Tianyi Sect was destroyed, we wandered around. After joining the Alliance, we were used as guns and worked for others everywhere. We couldn't calm down to practice. Even the spirit stones and elixirs we were given were often in short supply. However, he was able to reach the late Nascent Soul Stage in just a few decades, and now he has begun to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Do you think he didn't benefit from it?"

Pu Yanlan was stunned when she heard this.
"Who helped him privately?"

Strict as the wind,

"He saw that Tianyi Sect had lost its power. Even if the Grand Elder cultivated it carefully, with people like us, Tianyi Sect would at most be a third-rate sect within one or two hundred years. So he secretly joined the Zhengyuan Sect in the alliance!"

The Zhengyuan Sect and the Tianyi Sect both originated from Baima Prefecture, but when the invaders attacked the mountain gate, the Zhengyuan Sect had already transferred most of its elite disciples away, leaving behind a small number of low-level disciples who were unaware of the truth to resist the enemy. It seemed too ruthless at the time, but it preserved its strength to the greatest extent afterwards. After they joined the alliance, they vigorously absorbed the scattered disciples of various factions, and their strength increased instead of decreasing, and they became the largest force in the alliance. Zheng Gang's vision was also very accurate. After he first joined the alliance, he immediately secretly defected to the Zhengyuan Sect!
Pu Yanlan's brows never relaxed.

"He wants to join the Zhengyuan Sect. What is his pledge of allegiance?"

Yan Rufeng sighed,
"Sister, you really thought of it right away... When we, Tianyi Sect, withdrew from the mountain gate, we divided into several groups to take out the important books and treasures of the sect. Now only Elder Jin knows where these people went and where the treasures were hidden!"

Oh, I see!
No wonder he joined the Zhengyuan Sect without a legitimate reason. It turned out that he was an undercover agent in the Tianyi Sect.
"So...did he succeed?"

Yan Rufeng smiled bitterly and said,

"He found out about two places. Now I suspect that my uncles and brothers are in trouble. I'm afraid he's behind the scenes. Only when my uncles and brothers are dead can he be valued by the Grand Elder. He has always been cautious and fair in the past. When he encountered a war, he was brave and rushed forward, rushing to be the first. Even the Grand Elder didn't find anything wrong. He praised him as the future hope of Tianyi Sect and thought highly of him. Later, because the alliance kept withholding the spiritual stones from Tianyi Sect, the Grand Elder negotiated with the alliance many times, but to no avail. He had no choice but to use the treasures he had left behind, so he ordered him to lead us to get them. As a result, twice in a row, when we arrived at the treasure hiding place, all the spiritual stones and magic tools were swept away. The Grand Elder then began to suspect that someone among us had leaked the news, but at that time... we didn't think it was him..."

"Then...how did you find out it was his?"

Yan Rufeng said, "Afterwards, the alliance held a meeting of cultivators in Wanshou Mountain. The Grand Elder announced that he was in seclusion and sent Zheng Gang to lead several fellow disciples to help the alliance. He himself took me to another treasure hiding place. We found that the treasure hiding place was safe and sound, and even the disciples guarding the treasure were still there. So the Grand Elder set up a trap..."

The trap set by Grand Elder Jin was very simple. He just asked his disciples to go to the third treasure place again, but the things inside had been emptied out long ago. He also placed a magic tool that could be used to spy from thousands of miles away in the treasure place, so they saw the people from Zhengyuan Sect. When the people from Zhengyuan Sect entered the treasure place and found it empty, they mentioned Zheng Gang in their conversation.

"The Grand Elder was greatly shocked, but he remained calm. He secretly tried to find ways to test him a few more times, and only then was he sure that this thief was the one who betrayed the sect for him!"

Yan Rufeng said bitterly,

"But at that time, the Zhengyuan Sect was already very powerful. Among the sixteen elders in the alliance, nine were their people. The Supreme Elder knew that he could no longer stay in the alliance, so he decided to leave. It is easy to get on the ship but difficult to get off. For the sake of the treasures of our Tianyi Sect, they will not let us leave easily..."

Afterwards, the Tianyi Sect took advantage of the fact that after the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Conference, the monks' alliance united to fight a great battle with the invaders, and they all managed to escape.

"They sent us to guard the Longwei Pass in Broken Dragon Ridge, but the demonic energy in Longwei Pass is the most concentrated in Broken Dragon Ridge. They planned to make us not only not be killed by the invaders, but also be driven mad by the demonic energy and die..."

Yan Rufeng gritted his teeth and said,

"The damned bastard Sui Feng somehow figured out the Grand Elder's plan and secretly informed the Zheng Yuan Sect. When we tried to escape back to the Guiling Mountains and find a hidden place to hide, we were ambushed by the Zheng Yuan Sect's men. At that time, the poison in the Grand Elder's body was induced by someone, and we realized that he had already planned to poison the Grand Elder from the very beginning!"

As a result, the Supreme Elder Jin was naturally defeated by his opponent. He was beaten and poisoned. Fortunately, he had time to tell Yan Rufeng before he fell into a coma.

"Go to the north... to the Far North, where I can hide and it can also delay the onset of my poison..."

Yan Rufeng was already in tears when he said this, his eyes were red.
"Senior Sister, I, Yan Rufeng, will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

It is not surprising that outsiders plot against you, as the world of cultivation is a cannibalistic world. But if your own people act secretly, that would really make people gnashing their teeth in hatred!

Pu Yanlan nodded and said softly,
"Junior brother, don't worry, we will never let this matter go peacefully, and I, Zheng Gang, will not let him go!"

Whether to seek revenge or not is a later matter. The most important thing is to wake up the great elder in the coffin.
"What kind of poison has the Grand Elder been poisoned by?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head and sighed,
"We don't know. We only know that the poison is very strong. It doesn't hurt the body or the Nascent Soul, but it hurts the soul. We don't know how he poisoned it, let alone how to detoxify it!"

Pu Yanlan was not surprised to hear this. Any poison that could infect a high-level cultivator like Elder Jin who was in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm could not be an ordinary poison!
Pu Yanlan pondered for a moment and asked again,

"Now...where do you plan to stay?"

Strict as the wind,

"The Grand Elder said that he had traveled to various places in his early years and had been here before. There are nine warm lakes here. The first eight were formed by geothermal energy, but only the last one showed signs of artificial excavation. There also seemed to be a very large and powerful formation arranged around it. However, due to the long time, the formation has been destroyed, but the terrain is still there. When the Grand Elder traveled here, he was studying the formation and lived here for a year. He observed and studied it carefully, and then went back to study it for several years. He determined that if this formation was restored, it would be a very powerful protective formation..."

At this point Yan Rufeng sighed and said,
"The Grand Elder woke up and handed me a book on the magic circle..."

After saying that, he took it out and showed it to Pu Yanlan.

"Please look, Senior Sister, the magic circle is recorded right here. As long as we find a way to repair the magic circle, we can hide inside and recuperate!"

Pu Yanlan took the blue booklet he handed over, opened it and flipped through it. With Yan Rufeng's guidance, she found a page.
"This is it!"

Pu Yanlan now has much more experience than when she was in Tianyi Sect. She could tell at a glance that this was indeed a magic array handed down from ancient times. She thought to herself,
"Of the nine warm lakes, only this one is man-made. Could it be the cave dwelling of the ancestors that person mentioned?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"That's it. Let's not touch the Grand Elder yet. We'll make plans after we get to the Ninth Lake!"

Yan Rufeng nodded.
"it is good!"
