Daily Divination: A Sneaky Undercover Agent in the Demonic Sect

Chapter 113 The Pledge of Allegiance

Pang Sicheng's face turned a deep purplish-red as he thought to himself: Destroy all the demons? If I had that ability, would I need to argue with you? You little bitch, you deserve to die.

At this moment, he was filled with regret. He didn't regret refusing Duanmu Yao and the others to enter the formation, but rather that he should have killed them long ago. Now, he had let the tiger return to the mountain, and they had become a disaster.

Just as Pang Sicheng was speechless, Liu Ruyan, the leader of Bixia Peak, spoke up: "Senior Sister Duanmu, I know that Pang Sicheng has harmed you before, so it is understandable that you reject him now."

But the others are innocent. We are all disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and we should help each other to achieve good results in the trials. Isn't that what the Sect Master wants too?

Gu Xiaolin from Qingyang Peak chimed in, "Senior Sister Duanmu, Qingyang Peak and Tiandu Peak have always been on good terms. We were wrong before for not stopping Pang Sicheng. I apologize to you first, please let us in."

Although they had already discussed it beforehand, Duanmu Yao couldn't directly refuse since the disciples from the two peaks had said so, and she looked troubled.

But Shen Li didn't care about any of that. He didn't care about sect interests or the overall situation.

So he spoke first: "You're right, we're all disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, we should help each other."

Upon hearing this, the disciples were overjoyed and took a step forward, ready to enter the great formation.

But Shen Li's expression turned cold: "If you want to enter the great formation, you must first kill Pang Sicheng, because he is a spy for the Tai Xuan Sect."

""

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

"Senior Brother Pang is from the Pang family, how could he be an undercover agent?"

The disciples looked at Pang Sicheng with strange eyes; the news was too shocking, and they could hardly believe it.

Pang Sicheng's heart sank to the bottom, thinking to himself: Isn't this what I used to frame him for?

This damned guy actually turned around and framed me? There's not a single good person out of the servants' quarters.

Hmph, you think you can kill me with this trick? You're still too green.

The biggest difference between you and me is that I have a Golden Core Ancestor behind me!

Immediately, Pang Sicheng replied, "Don't listen to his nonsense. My Pang family has a Golden Core Ancestor in charge. How could I be an undercover agent?"

He's trying to kill everyone on purpose.

Furthermore, if you listen to him, how will you explain this to Elder Pang when you return?

His words carried a threatening tone; even if he was an undercover agent, Elder Pang had his backing, so it wasn't their place to make a move.

But Shen Li smiled coldly, thinking to himself: Use Elder Pang to pressure me? The biggest difference between you and me is that I don't care about the interests of the sect, and I don't care about Elder Pang either.

Then, he swept his gaze across the disciples outside the formation and said meaningfully, "Do you think Elder Pang has more power, or the Sect Master? Is your life more important, or Pang Sicheng's life?"

At this point, Shen Li paused, then continued, "Senior Sister Duanmu is the sect leader's disciple. She has confirmed that Pang Sicheng is a spy for the Tai Xuan Sect. If you want to hide in the great formation to save your lives, kill Pang Sicheng. There is no room for discussion. Otherwise, you can try to forcefully attack the great formation."

Everyone's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but they quickly understood the meaning behind it.

The idea of ​​an undercover agent, along with the pretext of prioritizing the overall situation, is just that—an excuse.

This is a pledge to kill Pang Sicheng as a testament to their loyalty in entering the formation; either Pang Sicheng dies, or everyone dies together.

Furthermore, he invoked the sect leader's name, meaning that if anything happened, the sect leader and Elder Pang would have a showdown, and it wouldn't be their place to take the blame.

But how could they dare to easily kill a fellow disciple, especially an elder's great-grandson?

Moreover, they are even more unwilling to be coerced by the other party.

Bixia Peak's leader, Liu Ruyan, stared at Duanmu Yao with a grave expression and asked, "Senior Sister Duanmu, is it really necessary to go to such extremes to force us to kill our fellow disciples?"

Pang Sicheng's expression also changed drastically, and he angrily said, "You not only want to kill us, but you also want to threaten your fellow disciples to kill each other. No one will listen to you, and the sect will not let you off the hook."

Everyone outside the formation looked at Duanmu Yao with different expressions, some angry, some hesitant, and some resentful.

Faced with so many questions, and for the sake of the bigger picture, Duanmu Yao wavered.

Shen Li, however, was adamant and warned, "Senior Sister Duanmu, we absolutely cannot let Pang Sicheng in. With so many of them, they will definitely try to take control of the team, and then we will be the ones kicked out."

Cui Youliang and others also agreed, as this was something they had already discussed.

Duanmu Yao nodded slightly and said in an unquestionable tone, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, Pang Sicheng is a spy for the Tai Xuan Sect, without a doubt. For the sake of the overall trial and the interests of the sect, we must not allow him to infiltrate the formation and cause damage."

"If you wish to enter the great formation, kill him immediately. Remember, you have killed a righteous spy. If the sect investigates, the sect leader will uphold justice for everyone."

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, leaving no room for negotiation.

The disciples from the various peaks outside the formation frowned, caught in a dilemma.

Pang Sicheng hadn't expected Duanmu Yao to be so resolute, ignoring the dissatisfaction of the other peak disciples. Was she determined to kill him? He couldn't let them succeed.

So he waved his hand and shouted, "The disciples of Tiandu Peak are harming their fellow disciples. We must not be used by them. Attack the formation immediately. No matter what happens, Elder Pang will stand up for us."

Before he finished speaking, Pang Sicheng activated his magic power, and the fiery red flying sword that had been circling in front of him suddenly lit up, carrying a scorching wave of spiritual energy, transforming into a fire dragon that attacked the light screen of the great formation.

Duanmu Yao's expression turned cold as she entered the formation. Her magical power surged, releasing a chilling aura. A pale blue sword light flew out rapidly, crashing head-on into the fire dragon.

One ice, one fire, the two flying swords collided in mid-air.

The metallic clang was sharp and piercing, ice shards and sparks burst forth simultaneously, and the surging light spread outwards like ripples.

Both swords bounced back, and neither gained the upper hand.

Pang Sicheng's gaze sharpened as he shouted, "Everyone, attack the formation!"

He made another move, his red flying sword swirling into the air, its blade splitting into three lines of fire that blasted towards the great formation.

The disciples of Haoyang Peak dared not disobey his orders and all brought out their magical artifacts.

However, the other peak disciples hesitated and did not attack the great formation. Instead, they first blocked the demons surging from all sides.

In an instant, several magical artifacts flew out simultaneously, causing the light screen of the great formation to tremble violently.

The foundation of the East Corner Grand Array was fundamentally unstable, and it was only supported by the nourishment of Shen Li's wood-attribute magic power.

Faced with the simultaneous bombardment of multiple magical artifacts, the runes on the array base flickered again, like a candle flame about to go out, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Shen Li smiled coldly, thinking to himself: So you've finally made your move? Since you attacked the formation, it's only right that we kill you.

He then channeled his magic power into the base of the array.

Pure wood-attribute magic flowed along the array base patterns, the runes stabilized again, and the light curtain shone even brighter.
