Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Once Tong Yan saw the jade pendant, she was certain that they were the inside agents that Chi Junlin had mentioned.

After inquiring, they briefly agreed on the specific time for the subsequent siege.

The arrival of Zhuque and Qingluan was not solely to confirm the cooperation.

More importantly, they also brought out a detailed map of the defense deployment in Yindu City.

In particular, the personnel allocation at several key locations of the Joyful Sect.

With this map, Tongyan can better plan his attacks.

After entering the city, people from the Corpse Driving Sect and the Xuan Yin Sect will guide them.

This would further reduce casualties.

After finalizing the matter, Zhuque and Qingluan briefly agreed on the specific code for their subsequent meetings with Tongyan and the others.

And the specific timing of the attack.

They were just waiting for the appointed time when Tong Yan and the others stormed into the Underworld.

Completely destroy the Joyful Sect and take control of the entire Yin Capital.

-

The same news soon reached the ears of Bian Renyao and Guiwuji.

At this point, the two had gathered all available personnel under their command and were conducting a final pre-battle mobilization.

Needless to say, Ghost Dancer is a member of the Xuan Yin Sect, which is a small and united group. With just a few words, she can make her female disciples fight bravely for her.

The situation is relatively more complicated for the transgender Bian.

Not only had the Corpse Driving Sect just experienced internal strife, but Bian Renyao herself had also just transformed from a male to a female appearance.

Most of the disciples did not recognize what Bian Renyao looked like now, and with the loss of some important elders, a large part of the sect's strength could not be mobilized.

Left with no other choice, Bian Renyao had to temporarily appoint a group of mid-level elders to elevate their status within the sect.

They also promised them some benefits.

This was enough to barely revive a few hundred members of the Corpse Driving Sect's fighting force.

It was at this moment that the two received a message from Chi Junlin.

Yu Luosha quickly informed them of the recent movements of the Joyful Sect, which inevitably made the two of them nervous.

The two had already learned of what Yingluo had been doing in the underworld recently, and they couldn't help but have some doubts.

The Heavenly Emperor doesn't intervene, yet the one holding the jade pendant acts so lawlessly.

This inevitably raises suspicions that something might have happened to Zizaitian, and that Chiyingluo has turned against Tiangang and taken him hostage.

And under the guise of Zizaitian, he took control of the Huanxi Sect.

But in any case, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing about it now.

Upon learning that the person was now leading a group to the location of the Heavenly Palace atop the snow-capped peak, the two quickly took action.

At this moment, they each selected their most trusted subordinates and headed together towards the snow-capped peak.

No matter what Yingluo wants to do now, it's clear that neither of them can make her do it.

With the extermination of the Joyful Sect, the landscape of the demonic sects is about to be reshuffled, and only one step is needed.

Bian Renyao and Gui Wuji would never allow anything to happen that was beyond their control.

-

Meanwhile, both inside and outside the city, preparations for the final battle were in full swing.

Chi Junlin and his group had visited this place once before and rescued a large number of children in the Earth Palace.

Then there was a mysterious woman dressed in black, staring blankly at a picture on the wall.

The picture was not created overnight; it looks as if it was broken up and then pieced back together to form a complete jigsaw puzzle.

If Wenren Xuan were here, he would probably exclaim in surprise upon seeing this painting.

Because this painting is clearly the legendary one—the White Bone Bodhisattva's offering of his flesh.

It seems that after obtaining the complete remains of Lan Gexing, Chi Yingluo has finally deciphered the secret in the picture.

The pattern was completely reproduced.

However, at this time, apart from the woman in black, there was no one else in the underground palace.

So there was no one left to appreciate this eerily beautiful painting with her.

Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly echoed within the underground palace.

Ever since Chi Junlin led Lu Yuanlong and others to wreak havoc here, this place has long lost its original purpose.

Even the members of the Joyful Sect considered this place an ominous place and never set foot here.

Not to mention the others in the Underworld.

Therefore, anyone who appears here has definitely come specifically to find her.

Or perhaps, he is the person she has been waiting for.

The woman in black turned slightly.

Sure enough, beneath the magnificent golden archway, Chi Junlin slowly emerged from the darkness.

They appeared in this blood-stained, dilapidated hall.

After arriving here, Chi Junlin looked at the figure of the woman standing in the hall in front of him.

Then he frowned slightly.

Chi Junlin arrived here at this time naturally because the clues left by Wenren Xuan ultimately pointed to this place.

But the person who appeared before her was not the one she was looking for.

It was neither Zizaitian, nor Ye Qiancao, nor Wenren Xuan.

The woman standing here now, beneath the black robes, has another familiar face.

This refers to Qiaonu, the Miao girl who had helped the group from the south several times in southern Hunan.

Chi Junlin had no idea why Wenren Xuan had led him here.

However, Chi Junlin was quite certain that the woman standing in front of him was not Qiao Nu.

Instead, he is a completely different person.

Because her eyes were different.

Qiaonu's eyes are innocent and naive, revealing kindness and beauty from the depths of her soul.

But now her eyes are dull and weary, she regards human life as worthless, and there is a kind of disgusting and sinister feeling about her.

Chi Junlin naturally knew her true identity.

Because the Ghost Doctor Langya had already told him.

She was the teacher of the Eight Eccentrics of Southern Hunan and the root of all the unusual events in the Southern Hunan region.

"The Ghost Fortune Teller".

Chi Junlin whispered her name.

The Ghost Fortune Teller smiled slightly and nodded to Chi Junlin, the woman she was meeting for the first time.

Then he spoke, "It seems my good disciple has told you everything. Is that so, Your Majesty, Lord Chi Jun?"

Chi Junlin did not speak, but after hearing how the other party addressed him, he became even more certain of something.

Then Chi Junlin asked, "So, everything that happened in Xiangnan back then was instructed by you. Is that right?"

What does "Your Excellency" refer to?

"Was it you who ordered the plague to poison the people in the Southern Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"You were the one who killed both the Ghost Prostitute and the Ghost Painter?"

"Yes."

"So, all this time, in the Underworld, it was you who secretly opposed me?"

"Most of them are."

"why?"

The fortune teller laughed.

"For Lan Gexing."

Chi Junlin had anticipated all of the Ghost Fortune Teller's answers until he heard her response at this moment.

"Lan Gexing? Isn't she already dead?"

"Yes."

"Then why would you do so much for a dead person?"

"Yes."

"why?"

The fortune teller paused for a moment, seemingly unsure how to answer Chi Junlin's question.

After thinking for a long time, he could only smile and say, "Maybe...it's because of love."

Because of love...

Chi Junlin narrowed his eyes, feeling that it would be difficult to continue communicating with the ghost fortune teller at this moment.

Because Chi Junlin could sense that her mental state was very different from that of ordinary people.

"I have one more question."

"what?"

"Is Qiaonu... still alive?"

Upon hearing Chi Junlin ask this question, the Ghost Fortune Teller smiled again.

She seemed to know exactly what Chi Junlin wanted to know.

So he countered with, "Do you want to see her?"

Chi Junlin frowned, seemingly sensing the strangeness in the Ghost Fortune Teller's expression.

At this moment, the ghost fortune teller slowly closed his eyes.

The next moment, she opened her eyes, somewhat dazed.

Then he looked around, a look of surprise on his face.

"Where am I? Why am I here?"

After looking around, she immediately noticed Chi Junlin in front of her.

He asked anxiously, "Miss Lin Jun? What happened? Wasn't I just in the village?"

Who brought me here?

Upon seeing the "ghost fortune teller's" appearance, Chi Junlin frowned slightly, seemingly sensing that the matter was somewhat troublesome.

Because at this time, the relationship between Qiaonu and the Ghost Fortune Teller is the same as that between Ghost Danqing and Ghost Scholar.

Two people, two souls, simultaneously reside within one body.

This way, Chi Junlin cannot directly kill the Ghost Fortune Teller.

This would also lead to Qiaonu's death.

After a moment of panic, Qiaonu was about to run towards Chi Junlin.

Then she showed a pained expression again, and put her hand on her head.

After a while, "Qiaonu's" consciousness slowly faded away.

The ghost fortune teller regained control of the body.
