Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 1116 - 739: Rooting Out the Traitor Ghost

Chen Yuan appeared in person and said such profound words.

The few people’s expressions shifted, their gazes all turning towards "Qing Yangzi."

At this moment, "Qing Yangzi" was immobilized by the golden light; not only could his body not move, but his expression was also frozen, as if time had stopped.

Chen Yuan immediately concealed the heavenly secrets, using the Heavenly Eye Divine Light to seal off the other’s five senses and six faculties, preventing any disturbance that might alert the enemy.

He was determined to see what kind of mischief this "Qing Yangzi" before him was up to.

Then, ignoring the astonished and doubtful looks of others, Chen Yuan’s heavenly eye emitted another ray of flowing light, directly entering "Qing Yangzi’s" forehead.

The next moment, "Qing Yangzi’s" frozen expression turned chaotic, like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, distorting fiercely with veins popping, emitting a low growl from his throat. His eyes turned fierce, flashing more and more intense purple light as time passed.

"Brother Qingyang."

"This..."

Yun Chuxiong saw Qing Yangzi’s painful appearance and realized what had happened—a possession. His heart couldn’t bear it.

"Master!" Ji Wuming’s eyes turned red seeing his master like this, unable to resist stepping forward.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, signaling them to stay calm,

"Do not interfere with my spellcasting, I will ensure Brother Qingyang’s safety."

As he spoke, the Heavenly Eye Divine Light did not pause for a moment, his gaze growing colder.

After about a dozen breaths, Chen Yuan snapped his fingers.

"Snap"

The purple Demon Light in Qing Yangzi’s eyes shattered like glass, revealing pitch-black pupils that flickered with clarity.

The fierce and painful expression on his face also receded like a tide.

Then, Qing Yangzi collapsed backward as if exhausted, and his disciple Ji Wuming cried out for his master, quickly stepping forward to support the weakened Qing Yangzi.

Qing Yangzi’s eyes turned in confusion, but when he saw Chen Yuan, clarity returned. His lips, weak and eager to speak, trembled due to lack of muscle control, yet he insisted on standing to salute Chen Yuan.

"Don’t rush."

Chen Yuan stepped forward, holding a shaking hand, his expression softening from coldness, "Take your time."

"Do you know who did this?"

During the handshake, Chen Yuan channeled Essence Qi into Qing Yangzi’s withered body, calming his trembling and turning his pale face rosy again.

Finally, Qing Yangzi’s throat moved, looking at Chen Yuan with urgent eyes, he spoke.

"A young girl."

"I saw her at the Yun Mansion’s banquet yesterday; she is a Demon."

Qing Yangzi’s voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, speaking with difficulty, having coughed blood from struggling fiercely to warn the previous night.

Upon hearing this, the faces of Yun Chuxiong and Yun Fangting changed drastically.

"What does she look like?" Yun Chuxiong’s tone was anxious, unable to hide his shock and anger.

A Demon lurking in the Yun Family meant who knew what intentions, what had been done? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Especially during this sensitive period, a sense of foreboding arose unbidden.

"I...I have lost my Divine Skills, can’t materialize her form, can only describe..." Qing Yangzi spoke with difficulty, breathing heavily in fragments.

At this moment, Chen Yuan’s heavenly eye turned, probing in a certain direction, saying with a chilling tone:

"No need to say it."

"I have found her."

As his Heavenly Eye’s golden light flickered, a scene emerged.

Under a corridor bridge by a pond in the backyard, two young women walked side by side.

The older one, dressed in a green-sleeved lotus-colored dress, appeared dignified and gentle. The younger one, in a moon-white brocade jacket, with a lotus-colored cloud satin cape draping over her, looked delicate and innocent.

Qing Yangzi’s pupils contracted abruptly seeing the scene mirrored before them.

"It’s her!"

"Yun Luo?" Yun Chuxiong’s expression changed, becoming very ugly as he first recognized the gentle woman in the image—it was his sister’s daughter.

Chen Yuan shook his head, recognizing Zhao Yunluo from a brief encounter many years ago, which he had almost forgotten, yet his keen gaze was on the girl in the cloak.

"Who is this girl?" he asked lightly, enlarging the image of the girl, implying plainly.

Yun Chuxiong’s pupils tightened, initially confused, then quickly remembered.

Hastily stepping forward, cupping his hands towards Chen Yuan, he spoke rapidly,

"This girl, named Yun Nu’er, hails from a branch of the Yong’an Yun Family separated long ago, who came to seek refuge with our Yun Family some time ago. Since such occurrences have become common as our family flourished, I thought nothing of accepting them."

"General, is this girl a transformed Demon?"

Chen Yuan cast a sidelong glance, "Indeed, and a Great Demon at that!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuxiong and the others were greatly alarmed. A Great Demon lurking within the Yun Family, equivalent to a Human Clan’s Great Dragon Tiger Ability, needed no guess for its intentions within the Yun Family.

"Who else was with this girl at the time?" Chen Yuan inquired.

"Her father was also there, they came to seek shelter together with some guards. I casually assigned them an enterprise for the father to manage, situated outside the Yun Mansion." Yun Chuxiong’s face darkened, his heart beating fast.

"When did this father and daughter arrive? How close to the massacre in the city three days ago?" Chen Yuan’s golden pupils fixed on Yun Chuxiong.

Being questioned thus, Yun Chuxiong instantly grasped Chen Yuan’s implication, his face turned pale, and his pupils vibrated, his throat choking out, "Just several days prior."

A few days ago, Demons had ambushed a convoy donating supplies in the city, sparking a massacre. Yun Chuxiong and his people had been investigating how the Demons obtained the intel to lie in ambush, suspecting many places yet never their own home.

Damn it!

Yun Chuxiong’s eyes turned red momentarily, grinding his teeth.

"Please, General Chen, capture this fiend, uncover their accomplices. They are undoubtedly conspiring something sinister for the upcoming investiture ceremony."

Chen Yuan interjected, "I naturally know, but this Demon can’t be moved yet; a single Great Demon can’t stir much chaos—there’s likely something more powerful behind it."

"We can’t alert them prematurely."

Yun Chuxiong’s pupils trembled, his throat dry, "General, do you mean there’s also a Demon King?"

Several others’ expressions changed as well—a Demon King was not to be underestimated.

Chen Yuan did not confirm nor deny, focusing on the image of the girl, his eyes stabbing forth with murderous intent.

"If my guess is correct, the big fish might be that ’father.’ To be safe, Yun Family Master, send word out, use today’s investiture ceremony to gather all main and branch family members from the Yun Family in Jingguan City."

"This Demon manipulated Qing Yangzi, probably to cause trouble at the ceremony, yet I suspect more than one person was controlled."

"Among them may be your Yun Family disciples from various mountains!"
