The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 159 Witness
Shui Huanmeng was pleased that her disciple's cultivation had improved considerably in the cave, and that he would break through to the eighth level in just a few days.

Unexpectedly, they heard this explosive news: demonic cultivators had infiltrated various sects, which was no small matter.

"Do you have any evidence?" she asked Chen Jinshu repeatedly, her expression turning serious.

"This disciple has not only witnesses but also concrete evidence!"

As Chen Jinshu spoke, he handed the spirit beast pouch directly to his master.

After examining it, Shui Huanmeng's face turned slightly pale, and her lips moved slightly, as if she were trying to convey some message.

The sect leader, who was not far away, was negotiating with several senior elders from different sects about the loss of disciples inside.

In previous years, there have always been instances of individual losses, which were also stipulated in the treaty. Although the amount of losses was slightly higher this time, other sects couldn't say anything about it.

However, when he heard the message from Shui Huanmeng, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped the sect elders and disciples who were about to leave.

"Brother Feng, please wait!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, please wait!"

……

He managed to stop all the sects involved in the operation.

"I wonder if there's anything else, Sect Master?" The Phoenix Family True Person frowned and looked at the Sect Master with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

The sect leader did not reply, but instead gave orders to the Golden Core elders guarding the formation to prevent them from leaving and to prevent the demon-possessed disciples from escaping at will.

He ordered the sect to be immediately closed and no one to leave.

Elders from the Feng family and many other sects looked at the Xuanming Sect Master with suspicion.

'Whoosh! '

In the blink of an eye, three elders exuding a strong Nascent Soul aura surged in from all around, their faces solemn.

This caused the sect elders to gather together, becoming quite wary.

"Does your Xuanming Sect intend to start a war with all the other sects?" The Feng family cultivator's face immediately turned angry, and he blushed slightly.

What's the difference between this move by the Xuanming Sect and slapping their sect in the face?

They deliberately showed weakness, thinking that the Xuanming Sect would treat them politely, so they sent several Golden Core cultivators to see them off. Now they have lost their power.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry! My Xuanming Sect will naturally not wage war against you. However, our disciples have discovered some information of great importance within the cave heaven! My Xuanming Sect must be on guard!"

The elders from various sects present changed their expressions from anger to confusion upon hearing the words of the Xuanming Sect Master.

"Even if my Feng family has done something wrong, it shouldn't have come to this, right?" The Feng family master frowned.

"No!"

"Please allow me to invite a few of my disciples here."

"Chen Jinshu! Du Yi! Jiang Daoyu! Feng Lingchuan..." The sect leader called out to about ten people in succession.

Chen Jinshu wasn't too surprised to hear so many names. The cave was so vast, and the demon-possessed disciples she encountered were only a small fraction of them.

She had taken the wooden box containing the twelve small statues of hellish demons from her spiritual plant space when she came out, and now she was holding it tightly in her hand.

The dozen or so Xuanming Sect disciples whose names were called in succession were all below the Foundation Establishment stage, and they were disciples who had just participated in the cave heaven trip.

Elders from the Feng family and other sects began to inquire among their disciples whether anything had happened, but the information they heard made their hearts skip a beat.

This time, they're probably going to fall into the hands of the Xuanming Sect.

Of course, this is not the proper way; it is compensation.

The treaties signed by the various sects stipulate that if any disciple sent there causes serious problems that threaten the sect's reputation, the sect must compensate the Xuanming Sect. "What happened! Fellow Daoists should all know. I won't say more."

With a wave of his hand, the sect leader opened the spirit beast pouch containing the witnesses from Chen Jinshu.

In an instant, the nine disciples were thrown into the center of the crowd, their faces pale, and their bodies bound with ropes that restricted their spiritual power. Almost every sect had such disciples.

"It's actually this kid!" The elder of the Feng family exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the demon-possessed disciple dressed in the Feng family's robes, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"You are all unfamiliar with these disciples, aren't you?"

Chen Jinshu's spirit beast pouch collapsed the moment it released all the cultivators. The spirit beast pouch was originally small, and it was forced to contain more than a number of disciples. Moreover, the spirit beast pouch was meant to store spirit beasts, so it was inappropriate to use it to store cultivators.

It can be converted into other things, but if the amount is excessive, it will most likely cause damage.

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to say more! We all understand! It’s truly our fault that we failed to detect our disciple’s descent into the demonic path! This Feng family disciple will be handed over to your sect for disposal.” A hint of shame flashed across the Feng family elder’s face.

"My Crimson Flame Sect is also handed over to you for disposal, fellow Daoist."

……

The sect leader nodded in satisfaction upon hearing everyone's voices.

He raised his hand and took out a white jade spirit mirror from his storage ring.

"This is the Demon-Illuminating Mirror! It can detect any demonic energy on a person! I intend to have all the disciples who participated in this cave heaven use it. Does anyone have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's previous hostility vanished, and they all fell silent, which was taken as an agreement.

"All disciples, line up and pass through this mirror!" the sect leader announced loudly to the surroundings.

He then signaled the Golden Core cultivators around him to capture all the disciples who were about to leave.

Unexpectedly, several disciples emerged from the crowd and flew away into the distance.

Staying here means certain death, so it's better to escape; there might be a slim chance.

However, there was practically no chance; the Nascent Soul True Monarchs surrounding them were not just for show.

The sect leader's expression hardened slightly. He raised his hand and grabbed all the disciples, throwing them in front of him.

"It's truly shameful that so many demonic cultivators have appeared in our sect! Judging from the tattoos on their bodies, it seems that that force has resurfaced!"

The sect leader looked at the many sect elders in front of him with questioning eyes.

These people frowned for a moment, examined the spider web markings on the necks or other parts of the demon-possessed disciples, and finally nodded.

"After returning to the sect, we will also conduct a thorough screening! Once there is any news, our sect will send a letter immediately!" The elder of the Feng family raised his hand, and the dozen or so disciples behind him were immediately restrained and thrown in front of the Demon Mirror.

The sect leader immediately activated his demon-detecting power, and among the dozen or so members of the Feng family, there was indeed one who carried demonic energy.

Without saying a word, he immediately confined the person.

The elder of the Feng family also looked rather grim. After leading the remaining disciples back, he remained silent.

If it were just one person, that would be fine, but this is already two in a row. There are probably several more who will be discovered and killed in the cave.

Subsequently, disciples from other sects stepped forward and captured four more, including three disciples from the Xuanming Sect, who came from different peaks.

The peak masters of several peaks also looked rather grim, thinking that they would have to conduct a thorough investigation when they returned.

After handing the wooden box containing twelve small statues of hellish demons to the sect leader, Chen Jinshu walked towards the direction where his master and the others were.

Before leaving, the sect leader promised to compensate her with a larger spirit beast pouch so that the spirit bird in her sleeve wouldn't be without a habitat.

She had heard that the sect leader had a spirit beast pouch with a small woodland inside. Of course, it was different from the spirit plant space; the woodland inside was just for spirit beasts to live in and for decoration.

But the space is extremely large and can accommodate many spirit beasts.
