Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 169 Three years, spy of the Righteous Alliance!

Lin Chen squinted his eyes and looked at President Liu through the screen.

Thoughtful in mind.

Indeed, "people die for money and birds die for food."

The huge temptation of three or four million spirit stones was enough to make the Jindan female cultivator named Yang Rong take the risk and betray the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce to join the Demon Sect.

It is entirely possible that this was Yang Rong's decision alone, and the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, including President Liu, was unaware of it.

But is there another possibility?
Was Yang Rong's betrayal carried out under the suggestion or even instruction of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce?

The Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, a Nascent Soul-level force well-known in Qingzhou, claims that it never interferes in the fights between various forces and only does business in a stable manner.

However, the struggle between good and evil has been going on for several years.

The influence is so great that many forces are forced to be involved in this battle.

For example, the Demon-Subduing Temple or the Wenlu Academy.

The Demon-Subduing Temple directly dispatched warrior monks and stood on the side of the Righteous Alliance.

Several neutral forces, such as Wenlu Academy, secretly traded with the Righteous Alliance, selling elixirs, talismans, etc. at low prices.

Even though they are neutral forces, they do not want to see the Demon Sect dominate the world, at least they do not want to see the Demon Sect win the battle too easily.

As for the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce...

Putting aside other things, isn’t the help provided to the Righteous Alliance by the branch opened in Yanlai Realm enough?

But now the Demon Sect is powerful and the Righteous Alliance is in decline.

If Yuanying Zhenren does not take action, the old demon with blood pupils will cause trouble everywhere.

If the Righteous Alliance is defeated in the end, will these neutral forces also have to think of a way out?
"So, is there a possibility..."

"The Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is actually betting on both sides. Yang Rong is actually trying to show goodwill to the Demon Sect... But they didn't expect that the result of that battle would be that the old demon with blood pupils would flee in embarrassment..."

Lin Chen touched his chin. It was not impossible.

Monks are inherently selfish, let alone the businessmen among them?
There is no benefit without early rise...

"No matter what, you have to be careful when dealing with Guangyuan Auction House and not reveal your identity..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

"As it is now, letting the martial arts puppets trade with the auction will save us peace of mind..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen gave Long Ba several orders.

Long Ba, who was far away at the auction, smiled and said:

"President Liu, can we still not trust you?"

"Don't worry, our future transactions will proceed as normal..."

After hearing this, President Liu breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression changed slightly and he asked in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist Long, was Fellow Daoist Xu Shi okay in that battle?"

Long Ba nodded calmly and said:

"Don't worry, that old demon with blood pupils can't do anything to my Fengling Yueying Sect..."

"Haha, but the old monster is seriously injured now. I'm afraid he won't come out for a few years!"

After hearing this, President Liu's expression immediately straightened up.

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator actually lost?
Even if you are seriously injured, it will take several years to recover?
This is a big deal...

President Liu's first reaction was disbelief, but seeing that Long Ba was safe and sound, and the increase in the bounty a few days ago...

He still half believed it.

"As expected of the Fengling Yueying Sect, their methods are indeed sophisticated!" President Liu flattered.

After the transaction was completed, Long Ba left the auction at Lin Chen's instruction.

President Liu walked into a secret room and took out a communication jade slip, seemingly contacting someone.

……

Half a year later, Qinghe City.

On this day, Lin Chen was practicing in the mansion.

Now, the Changqing Jue has been cultivated to the fifth level of the Golden Elixir Chapter.

Lin Chen's daily routine is also very regular, except for coordinating the arrangement of the formation.

Lin Chen has to ensure four hours of basic practice every day, which are used to practice the Changqing Jue and the ninth generation martial arts breathing method.

If he has free time, Lin Chen will practice Tianyan Jue, Xiu Mu Jue, Tianlei Jiangmo Shen, etc.

Recently, Lin Chen has been particularly attentive to the practice of the Heavenly Thunder Demon Body.

After all, Tianlei Jiangmo has the ability to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, which doubles its power in fighting against evil cultivators.

The old demon with blood pupils is Lin Chen’s biggest enemy at present.

If Lin Chen could learn this secret technique, he would be more confident if he faced the Blood-eyed Demon in the future.

"The Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Body, the secret of the Demon Subduing Temple... is actually a method of physical cultivation from ancient times."

"Use heavenly thunder to temper the body, condense the true essence, and practice both the body and the method, so that the true essence contains the power of the demon-subduing heavenly thunder to ward off evil..."

"This technique is quite good!"

Lin Chen stretched out his left hand, and a faint flash of lightning flashed in his invisible true energy.

This is the thunder that subdues demons!

"The thunder from the sky has subdued the demon body, and has successfully entered the realm of minor success..."

"This technique has been handed over to the Immortal Cultivation Department for research, but I don't know how the experts are doing with their research..."

Lin Chen touched his chin.

"Heavenly Thunder Subduing Demon Body" is an excellent ancient method of body training, which may be used as a reference for the improvement of martial arts breathing methods.

In addition, Lin Chen also brought back the body refining method that he brought back from Jinyuan Sect to Daxia.

Perhaps in the near future, the tenth generation of martial arts breathing method will be successfully launched...

Lin Chen, who was practicing, suddenly received a message from his master Han Jihai.

"Xiao Chen, come to the garrison. We have something to discuss..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly when he heard this, so he went to the garrison of Qinghe City.

It is actually only a few streets away from his mansion, and the current guardian of Qinghe City is the master of Zhenfeng.

After arriving at the garrison, Lin Chen discovered that there were only three people present.

The master of Zhenfeng, Li Zhenqian, and his master Han Jihai.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?"

Lin Chen asked curiously.

After hearing this, the leader of Zhenfeng Peak set up a soundproof formation and frowned slightly.
"Something happened. A spy has lurked among the top brass of the Righteous Alliance..."

"Two days ago, Lingxuan City carried out a secret mission, gathering six Jindan cultivators and one hundred late foundation-building disciples to prepare for a surprise attack on a demon cultivator's stronghold..."

"According to intelligence, there are only three Jindan cultivators and hundreds of foundation-building demon cultivators in that stronghold. If we can eat them, it will also help to dampen the spirit of the Demon Sect..."

“But for some reason, the Demon Sect knew about this operation in advance, and that old monster Wu actually personally guarded that stronghold!”

"In the end, all the disciples and Jindan elders who were sent out were killed. Only one Jindan cultivator from the Tiandan Sect managed to escape, but he died soon after he brought back the news..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Six Jindan cultivators and hundreds of foundation-building cultivators died, which was a huge loss for the entire Righteous Alliance.

It can be said that this was the most painful action in which the Righteous Alliance suffered the most losses in recent years after retreating to the Kingdom of Mist.

The Righteous Alliance investigated the strength of the Demon Sect's stronghold in advance, and then wanted to take the enemy by surprise, but in the end they shot themselves in the foot.

There is little chance of coincidence here.

It is indeed very likely that there is a spy lurking there.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and thought of the list he had obtained a few years ago.

"Uncle Wang, do you know the list of senior officials involved in this operation?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

"Yes, but the Righteous Alliance is probably in tatters right now. In Qinghe City, I can only trust you three..."

The leader of Zhenfeng handed over a list.

There are quite a few people on this list, nearly fifteen Jindan cultivators.

Including the elders of the Tiandan Sect, the elders of the Changchun Sect, and other immortal cultivation forces in the two realms... After Lin Chen read it, his eyes locked on a name.

In an instant, Lin Chen understood.

"Sure enough, it should be him..." he thought silently in his heart.

"Junior Brother Lin, have you found anything?"

At this time, the master of Zhenfeng asked.

After hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"I can't tell anything from just a list."

"However, I think that since we already have this list, the spy must be among these fifteen people."

"When we take action next time, we can divide these monks and only tell some of them some information and then compare them repeatedly. As long as the spy still takes action, we will definitely be able to find him..."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, the head of Zhenfeng nodded and said:
"Well, it seems that this is the only way for now."

"Although our Righteous Alliance seems to be as powerful as the Demon Sect, it has gathered dozens of forces and there are too many mixed people..."

……

After returning to his residence, Lin Chen took out the list he had obtained from the Demon Sect’s stronghold a few years ago.

This list records about six forces.

A few years ago, these forces were only foundation-building forces, but now half of them have been promoted to core-forming forces.

When the forces of good and evil were battling each other, naturally some immortal cultivation families wanted to protect themselves.

So they were in the Righteous Alliance, but secretly colluding with the Demonic Sect.

However, these traitors are also divided into different levels.

Some of them just pretend to be friendly with the Demon Sect and sell some low-level magic weapons and elixirs.

The impact is limited...

But some people sold all their magic weapons, elixirs and even important information.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and muttered:

"The four major families, the Cai family..."

"I was also shocked when I saw the Cai family's name on the letter."

"The letter of credence is most likely authentic, and the evidence is solid. In this operation, the name of Patriarch Cai has appeared again..."

Lin Chen estimated in his heart that it was most likely the Cai family who was colluding with the Demon Sect.

As one of the four major families in Yanlai Kingdom, the Cai family's influence ranks among the top six in Yanlai.

It is also ranked among the top ten forces in the entire Righteous Alliance.

There is a Jindan, a fake Dan, and dozens of foundation-building cultivators...

It has become a faction.

But once he becomes a traitor, the greater the power of the Cai family, the greater the threat to the Zhengdao League.

Lin Chen caught the spy, but couldn't say it out loud.

Firstly, it is not easy for him to produce the evidence directly, otherwise his identity will be easily exposed and his evidence will be nothing but empty words.

Secondly, even if the Cai family is eradicated, the losses incurred in this operation cannot be recovered.

Therefore, the moment Lin Chen saw the list, he already had an idea in his mind.

At present, we should be more cautious against the monks on the list.

Then, when the time is right, the traitors on the list will be exposed.

It would be best if we could use a trick to defeat the enemy and deal a heavy blow to the Demon Sect...

"However, this matter is not suitable to be disclosed in my true identity."

"Wait a minute, now is not the best time to reveal it..."

……

Spring goes and autumn comes, and two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two and a half years, the stalemate between the Demon Sect and the Righteous Alliance has continued.

The two sides used the Fog Mountain as a boundary, and would occasionally go to each other's territory to look for flaws, and small-scale battles would break out.

But in general, many Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators died, but not many Jindan cultivators died.

The Demon Sect tried several times to capture Lingxuan City, but was stopped outside the city defense formation.

I have to say that Changchunmen’s formation is truly amazing.

It took a full three years, and more than ten formation masters including Lin Chen worked together to set up two large city-protecting formations.

Protect Qinghe City and Lingxuan City firmly.

The technique used by the master of Zhenfeng is called a formation within a formation.

A large formation was set up dozens of miles away from the two cities.

Afterwards, he set up several formations in the formation, such as the Mist Formation, the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Formation, the Burning Wood Prisoning Sky Formation, etc.

Each group is connected to each other, and it is difficult for even a Nascent Soul cultivator to pass through it easily.

The fact that the Righteous Alliance was able to hold the two cities for several years was closely related to this formation.

In the past two and a half years, Lin Chen has been practicing peacefully.

Still one-way communication through martial arts puppet and Guangyuan auction.

Although he earned money a little slowly, he was able to earn more than three million spirit stones in addition to ensuring his basic cultivation.

It was not until early in the morning of that day, after Lin Chen finished his training, that he prepared to stroll around Qinghe City.

But as soon as he went out, a Jindan elder from Changchun Sect came up to him.

"Elder Lin, here is your letter, sent from the sect, and a storage bag..."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, "Thank you!"

"As I should. Elder Lin, please go ahead and get busy... I still have to deliver some things to other elders." The Jindan elder smiled and left quickly.

The forces of good and evil have been confronting each other for several years, and Lin Chen has been on the front line in recent years.

Moreover, the Jindan elders on the front line are not allowed to leave easily.

But Elder Jindan also has relatives and friends who need to be contacted, and not everyone has a communication jade slip.

The jade slip may not be able to be transmitted seven thousand miles away...

Therefore, the ancient method of writing letters came in handy.

Special elders travel between the sect and the front line, carrying letters, elixirs, and supplies from the rear.

In the past few years, Lin Chen has also received some pills and letters sent by his senior brothers and sisters.

After receiving the letter, Lin Chen no longer had the heart to wander around the city, so he returned to his mansion.

After opening the letter and reading it carefully, Lin Chen looked surprised.

The letter was sent by Huang Xin.

"Brother Lin, how are you these days?"

"Brother, please rest assured and fight on the front line. In the past few years, I have recruited many outer disciples, and the scale of the medicine garden has been further expanded."

"Two years ago, I told my senior brother that we had acquired two more medicinal gardens and a mineral vein..."

"The storage bag that came with the letter contains the income from the medicine garden and the mine over the past three years, including 50,000 first-level spiritual medicines and 4,000 second-level spiritual medicines..."

"..."

Lin Chen roughly read the letter, which contained nothing more than Huang Xin continuing to develop the medicinal garden and mine minerals in the rear.

And sent all the ores and spiritual medicines obtained...

After more than three years, Huang Xin's cultivation level has reached the third level of foundation building, which is considered to be average.

Lin Chen took out the storage bag and saw the spiritual medicines and minerals piled inside, with an expression of admiration on his face.

"This kid is really reliable..."

“Although these spiritual medicines and minerals are not too many, they are still a considerable amount.”

Lin Chen nodded and prepared to take it back to Blue Star.

"Let's count the days. Today is the day we return to Blue Star. This batch of elixirs and minerals arrived just in time..."
