Chapter 39 Communicate Together Wen Ren Huai confirmed Jun Mo's identity to Jiang Yu and the others. He said that this man had visited him not long ago and was indeed a disciple of the Cang Yu Sect, and was indeed temporarily living in the home of a family surnamed Cheng in the city. On the whole, although the possibility that Jun Mo is a traitor cannot be completely ruled out, Jiang Yu and the others do not doubt him much anymore. The five of them, along with Wen Ren Huai, reunited. Jiang Yu asked about the hidden path that Jun Mo mentioned that could lead out of the city. "There is indeed such a road." Wen Renhuai nodded. "Although this road is hidden, the ancestors of Lingdu once set up a formation there, which was specifically used to restrain evil spirits. The power of the formation is not small. Even if it cannot kill some evil spirits with high cultivation, it can trap them for a period of time, which is enough for us to detect any movement. Moreover, these days, I have arranged two patrol teams to take turns guarding there to prevent the evil spirits from taking advantage of any gaps to slip in." "." After hearing this, Jiang Yu began to ponder, and Yuan Heng also felt something was wrong. When they went down to rescue people last night, they didn't find any team guarding there. In other words, if there really was a team guarding there, why didn't they notice at all that Jun Mo, such a big man, sneaked in and out and sneaked in? Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.
They all knew when and how Jun Mo was rescued last night. Jiang Yu and Yuan Heng's statements conflicted with Wen Ren Huai's statement at this time. Obviously, it was impossible for Sang Yang and Fang He to doubt their own senior brothers and sisters in the sect. If Wenren Huai did not lie, then it could only mean one thing. Their eyes were all directed at Wenren Huai who was sitting at the top. "!" Wen Renhuai immediately realized that something was wrong. He stood up abruptly, his face slightly changed, and he bowed to Jiang Yu and the others: "Excuse me." Seeing Wen Ren Huai hurriedly walk out of the main hall, leaving only the five of them in the room, Fang He scratched his head, a little puzzled: "Did he just notice it now?" They didn't notice anything wrong because they didn't know about the existence of this school gate and the two patrol teams that took turns guarding there. But as a person who knew all the arrangements in the city very well, it seemed a bit strange that Wen Ren Huai only noticed the abnormality of the two patrol teams after listening to their gossip for so long. "I saw a dark patch under his eyes." Sang Yang seemed to be thinking about something. "Maybe he didn't practice well during this period because of the evil things. It's normal that his brain didn't react for a while." They had no reason to doubt Wen Ren Huai. As the city lord, there was no benefit for him to collude with the evil demon. Once the matter was exposed, not only would the reputation he had built up over the years be ruined, but he would probably lose his life. No matter whether it is the upright immortal sects or people from the demon and monster worlds, they all hate the evil practitioners who practice evil ways the most. One is the city lord respected by the people, and the other is an evil demon reviled by everyone. Everyone knows what to choose. Jiang Yu nodded, agreeing with Sang Yang's words. She couldn't think of any reason why Wen Ren Huai would collude with the evil demon, so naturally there was no way she could directly suspect Wen Ren Huai. But she still felt something was wrong. She always felt that in addition to this small door that could be used to leave the city, which they had only learned from Jun Mo, he must have been hiding something else from them. Even though he was unlikely to collude with the evil, he might have his own plans, and he didn't intend to tell them. Jiang Yu thought about the reason and thought that it might be because the other party did not trust them enough. But this was Wen Ren Huai's city, and it was a tense period, so it was understandable that he was unwilling to fully trust these outsiders. "That's true." Fang He also took up the conversation, and couldn't help but sigh, "I heard from people in the mansion that during this period, City Lord Wenren not only had to find ways to find the missing people during the day, but also had to guard the city at night. Except for the time when he was unconscious, he almost didn't sleep." Besides, now that he was awake, his wife was lying in bed again.
It is hard not to be exhausted in this situation. They feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, let alone the person involved, Lord Wenren City. "It's not a good idea to keep waiting like this." Sang Yang sighed, looked out the door, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he looked at Yuan Heng who was in deep thought, "Brother, why don't we go out and look for those evil demons before daybreak? Isn't this all caused by those evil demons? As long as we get rid of the evil demons, there shouldn't be any problem. We can then keep someone alive to identify the traitor." "That sounds reasonable." Before Yuan Heng could speak, Wei Xu, who was lazily leaning on the back of his chair, spoke first. He yawned halfway through his words and said, "But it's not feasible." Sang Yang tilted his head: "Why?" Wei Xu sneered, "Have you forgotten? Those missing people are most likely in the hands of those evil demons. Once we take the initiative to attack, they will most likely attack the people who are still in their hands." Although these people would most likely be in danger if they fell into the hands of the evil spirits, he felt that the people in front of him would definitely not dare to gamble with the lives of the people. "There is one more thing." Yuan Heng added in a gentle voice, "Since there are traitors in the city, it is difficult to ensure that there are no evil demons hiding in the city. Once we take action against the evil demons outside, it is inevitable that we will directly anger the evil demons in the city and let them retaliate against the people." Moreover, they still don't know the actual cultivation level of those evil demons. If they rush out recklessly, except for Jiang Yu, the fate of others may be similar to Jun Mo's. Sang Yang was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red after he realized what was happening: "I'm sorry." She was indeed excited just now and forgot that there were still people in the hands of the other party. She only focused on the present. "It's nothing." Jiang Yu sat closer to her, turned his head and smiled at her, comforting her, "Everyone has things that they can't think of at the moment, and now we are just discussing it. Besides, doesn't this highlight the role of teamwork?" After she finished speaking, she quickly put the matter aside and raised her head towards Wei Xu who yawned across from her: "Did you find anything last night?" "No." Wei Xu answered her quickly, "She has been guarding the door of the city lord's wife since she finished her sword practice last night. I watched her all night, but she didn't even move." "But this person's cultivation is indeed good, and should be better than you and me." Jiang Yu: "Does this mean there is nothing to doubt about this person?" "Not necessarily." Wei Xu still believed in his sixth sense. "City Lord Wenren also said that besides him, only this trusted maid knew about those formations—" He paused and was silent for a moment, and Yuan Heng suddenly raised his eyes. "And the mayor's wife." They both said it almost in unison. "She is the trusted maidservant." Wei Xu added, "She is the trusted maidservant of the city lord's wife. If she is the trusted maidservant, then if the city lord's wife asks about the formation, it is hard to guarantee that she will not tell you everything. What's more, the other party is her savior."
