Chapter 197: The traitor is exposed, fierce confrontation
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen secretly investigated the sect for a long time, following the clues of missing disciples and shortage of cultivation resources, and finally locked their target on a seemingly honest deacon on a dark and windy night. This deacon has served in the sect for many years and has been in charge of some logistical affairs and has contacts with many disciples. Who would have thought that he would be a traitor colluding with the cult organization.
When Yun Yao and Chu Mochen appeared in front of the deacon with solid evidence, he was stunned at first, and then his face turned gloomy in an instant. His originally kind face twisted, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by cunning and ferocity. He knew that once his crimes were exposed, he would face the most severe punishment from the sect, and he would never sit still and wait for death.
"Humph, do you think you can catch me easily?" The deacon snorted coldly, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A black mist gushed out of his body and instantly filled the surroundings. The mist had a pungent and rotten smell that made people want to vomit. There were faint evil runes flashing in the mist, which was obviously the evil power bestowed on him by the cult.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were prepared. They quickly stepped back and drew their swords. Chu Mochen's sword emitted a cold light, and runes flowed on the sword, as if it felt the evil breath of the enemy and trembled slightly. He stared at the deacon with cold eyes and said, "You betrayed the sect and colluded with the evil cult. Today is the day you die."
The deacon laughed loudly towards the sky: "You two young boys think you can stop my great cause? I have been lurking in the sect for many years, and the power I have accumulated is beyond your imagination." After saying that, he waved his sleeves violently, and countless black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the mist, wrapping around Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like spirit snakes.
Yun Yao's eyes focused, and she quickly mobilized the power of the system. A faint blue light appeared on her body, which acted like a shield, repelling the approaching tentacles. At the same time, she muttered something, and a rune appeared in her hand. She waved it forward with force, and the rune instantly turned into a golden light and rushed towards the deacon.
Seeing this, the deacon dodged the attack of the golden light. He moved like lightning and rushed forward in an instant, holding a black dagger in his hand. The dagger emitted a cold black light and pierced Chu Mochen's throat. Chu Mochen reacted very quickly. He dodged to the side and the sword drew an arc and slashed at the deacon's arm.
The deacon had to withdraw his dagger to block, and the two of them fought each other in an instant. For a moment, sword shadows and knife lights intertwined, black mist and blue shields collided with each other, and the surrounding space was distorted by the powerful force fluctuations.
While they were fighting, Yun Yao began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. She found that the deacon chose to reveal his identity here, and he must have something to rely on. Her eyes fell on a formation not far away. The formation was hidden in the dark, and if she was not careful, it would be difficult to detect. The runes on the formation were connected to the aura of the cult, and it was obviously used to enhance the power of the deacon or as a retreat.
Yun Yao decided to destroy the formation first. She approached carefully, while being alert to the attack of the deacon. However, the deacon seemed to have noticed her intention. He suddenly shouted and stabbed the dagger in the ground. A powerful black energy wave spread out from him. Wherever the energy wave reached, the ground cracked instantly and rocks flew.
Chu Mochen and Yun Yao were knocked back by the energy wave and fell heavily to the ground. Yun Yao only felt the blood surging in her body, but she endured the pain and stood up. At this time, the deacon had turned around and rushed towards the formation, he wanted to use the power of the formation to escape.
"Don't even think about it!" Yun Yao shouted. She ignored her own injuries and mobilized the system's power again. Her eyes turned deep blue, as if she could see through all illusions. She saw the key nodes of the formation, then quickly formed seals with both hands, and blue runes flew out of her hands, accurately hitting the nodes of the formation.
The formation began to flicker and emit a buzzing sound under the attack of the runes. The deacon was anxious when he saw this. He turned around and rushed towards Yun Yao again, trying to stop her from destroying the formation. Seeing this, Chu Mochen immediately stood up to meet the enemy. He used all his strength to hold the deacon tightly.
"Yun Yao, hurry!" Chu Mochen shouted.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and concentrated all the spiritual power in her body into her hands, and then launched the last powerful rune. This rune shone brightly, like a blue sun, and rushed straight towards the formation. With a loud bang, the formation completely collapsed under the attack of the rune, and turned into countless fragments that dissipated in the air.
The deacon saw that the formation was broken, and his hope was shattered. His eyes became crazy. He gave up the entanglement with Chu Mochen, turned around and aimed at Yun Yao. He gathered all the evil power in his body on the dagger, and the dagger instantly expanded several times, emitting a chilling aura.
"You all must die!" The deacon roared and rushed towards Yun Yao.
Yun Yao felt the breath of death coming towards her, but she did not retreat. She closed her eyes, calmed down, and communicated deeply with the system. In an instant, a more powerful shield appeared around her body, and complex runes flashed on the shield, which contained mysterious power.
Just when the deacon's dagger was about to stab Yun Yao, Chu Mochen arrived. He threw his sword desperately, and the sword, with powerful spiritual power, stabbed straight into the deacon's back. The deacon had to turn around to resist, and this delay allowed Yun Yao to complete her final preparations.
She opened her eyes, and two blue rays shot out of them. The rays were like sharp blades, shooting straight at the deacon. The deacon was hit by the rays and instantly became unable to move. Chu Mochen took the opportunity to step forward, take back the sword, and cut off the deacon's head with one sword.
With the death of the deacon, the surrounding black mist gradually dissipated, and everything returned to peace. However, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew that this was just the beginning. They learned from the deacon that the cult organization had a more terrible conspiracy, which must be stopped as soon as possible.
Yun Yao looked at the body of the deacon on the ground, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She didn't expect that there was such a dangerous person hidden in the sect, which made her realize that danger is everywhere on the road of cultivation.
Chu Mochen walked to Yun Yao's side. He looked at Yun Yao's slightly tired face and felt a little distressed. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.
Yun Yao shook her head: "I'm fine, I just didn't expect this battle to be so difficult."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the cult's conspiracy. We must inform the sect's top leaders of this as soon as possible." Chu Mochen said.
Yun Yao nodded, and the two of them tidied their clothes, then took the body of the deacon and the evidence they had and flew towards the main peak of the sect. They knew that a bigger crisis was coming, and they had to take the responsibility of saving the sect.
