A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 8: Infiltration upon infiltration, undercover operations upon undercover operations

After entering the room, Yue Yuan shed all pretense and comfortably found a place to sit down.

"Junior Sister? What Junior Sister?"

The girl playing the zither stopped abruptly. "Still pretending to be stupid? I saw you two holding hands as you went into Tongfu Tavern with my own eyes." Her words were full of resentment, and she looked at him like Qin Xianglian looked at Chen Shimei.

Yue Yuan poured himself a cup of tea. "Alright, the people outside are gone, no need to act anymore."

Upon hearing this, Qin's expression turned serious.

"Elder Tong sent word that Yu Canghai led his disciples down from Qingcheng Mountain and asked if you had any inside information or if Mount Hua had made any moves."

"This is big news." He downed his tea in one gulp, smiling at Miss Qin. "Where's my antidote?"

The girl took out a porcelain bottle from her chest and tossed it to Yue Yuan, saying, "There's only one. You can be worry-free this year."

He took the porcelain bottle and poured the pills inside into his hand.

The pills were bright red, and when you took a light sniff, they had a slightly fishy smell, just like the one you remembered.

"Don't worry, this was given to us by Elder Tong, it can't be fake."

He swallowed the pill in one gulp. "We are demonic cult members, how can I trust you?"

As the pill entered his body, a bloody taste spread through his mouth, and the Gu worms that had been somewhat awakening in his mind fell back into a deep sleep.

huh~~

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to suppress it.

He wondered who had created the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, such a heaven-defying poison that even his Five Poisons Heart Sutra couldn't counteract it. If he found out who had made it, he would definitely snatch the formula and let them taste it themselves.

"Well, can you tell me now?"

Yue Yuan opened his eyes. "Their target this time is the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou."

"Fuwei Escort Agency?" Miss Qin looked puzzled, unable to connect Fuwei Escort Agency with Qingcheng Sect.

She asked curiously, "What's the connection between these two things?"

"That's a long story."

"Then let's make it short."

Yue Yuan rolled his eyes at her. "This story begins with Lin Yuantu of the Fuwei Escort Agency. Lin Yuantu went up Mount Hua and read the incomplete Sunflower Manual. After he came down the mountain, he created a sword technique with his superhuman comprehension, called the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

"Lin Yuantu used this sword technique to become invincible throughout the world, including the previous leader of Qingcheng Mountain, Qingchengzi. After Qingchengzi was defeated, he passed on this hatred to Yu Canghai."

"So, their goal is the 'Evil-Repelling Sword Manual'?"

Yue Yuan nodded. "Now, it's not just Qingcheng Mountain that's eyeing the sword technique. Yue Buqun from Huashan Mountain, and even Zuo Lengchan from Songshan Mountain, all want a piece of the pie."

Miss Qin hadn't expected things to be so complicated. Not only Mount Hua, but also Mount Song was involved. You see, after Zuo Lengchan's efforts to reorganize Mount Song over the years, Mount Song was showing signs of challenging the Divine Sect.

"This matter is too important. I must report it to Elder Tong immediately. We must not allow Mount Song to obtain the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan got up and left the room.

Returning to the tavern, he wrote another message and sent it to the Songshan Sect by carrier pigeon.

The carrier pigeon was deliberately left behind by Yue Buqun in order to lull the Songshan Sect into a false sense of security. Little did he know that Yue Yuan would report his ulterior motives to the Songshan Sect in detail.

Since they all like the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual," he will give them some surprises after he gets the manual. The martial world is still too fiery, and he will help cool them down.

The next day, the two got up very early, mounted the fast horses that Yue Buqun had prepared for them, and headed towards Fuzhou.

When Cha was writing his novel, he knew absolutely nothing about geography. With a wave of his hand, his characters moved from Mount Hua to Fujian.

This was tough on Yue Yuan and Yue Lingshan. Although this court, which resembled the Ming Dynasty, had repaired the official roads, the two still endured wind and rain for more than half a month before they could even see the outline of Fuzhou City.

Yue Yuan vowed that he would never choose to ride a horse again if he had a choice. Even with his internal energy protecting him, he felt a burning pain on the inside of his thighs, and his legs felt like they were about to bend.

He then turned his gaze to Yue Lingshan, who was standing to the side.

"Junior Sister, it's getting late, and we probably won't be able to enter Fuzhou City. Let's rest here for the night!"

"Okay." Yue Lingshan didn't really want to leave either; she was also a little overwhelmed.

So the two divided the work: Yue Yuan went into the woods to find some prey, while Yue Lingshan tied the two horses to a tree and then tidied up the entire camp.

When Yue Yuan returned, the campfire was already lit.

He quickly put the two large mud balls into the fire.

"Yue Yuan, what's this?"

Seeing her confusion, Yue Yuan explained, "This is a local delicacy from my hometown, called Beggar's Chicken."

"Beggar's chicken?"

Along the way, she witnessed that Yue Yuan would change the cooking method at each campsite, sometimes grilling over a fire, sometimes frying on a stone slab, always satisfying her appetite.

The two young people didn't seem to be there to do business; they looked more like they were sightseeing.

After being roasted for 15 minutes, the mud balls were charred black on the outside. But when you peeled back the shell, the chicken inside, wrapped in lotus leaves, was glistening with oil and exuded a fresh and fragrant aroma.

He tore off a piece of chicken leg and handed it to Yue Lingshan, "Senior sister, have a big chicken leg."

Yue Lingshan took the chicken leg with a smile and ate it slowly.

He picked up the whole chicken and started gnawing on it, completely disregarding any semblance of civility. In just a few bites, the chicken was reduced to a bare skeleton.

This pheasant smells good, but there's not much meat on it.

Just as he was about to peel off the second mud ball, a jade hand holding a handkerchief embroidered with peonies wiped his mouth.

"Look at you, can't you eat slower? Your face is all oily."

He was about to say something when Yue Lingshan stopped him, "Don't move, your face is all oily."

Just as the two were enjoying this cozy moment, a voice came from the dense forest.

"Two big fat sheep, we've finally caught up with you."

"Who?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yue Lingshan quickly drew her sword and shielded Yue Yuan behind her.

In the firelight, five men dressed in hemp clothing and carrying large knives appeared before the two.

Yue Yuan was furious. If it weren't for these people interfering, he should have been able to break through the arrogant senior sister's defenses, and it wouldn't be impossible for their relationship to develop further.

But all of this was ruined by these people.

You have already found your way to death.

"Hey bro, look! That kid's angry, hahaha~~"

"Don't be angry. After the big brothers have finished enjoying you, they'll send you to a brothel, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan knew that these people had come with ill intentions, so she whispered, "Junior Brother, you should leave quickly."

"And what about you?"

"My lightness skill is better than yours. We'll meet at the Fuwei Escort Agency then."

Yue Yuan glared at the group, then drew his longsword: "Senior sister, I've been practicing my swordsmanship with you for so long, it's time to draw some blood."

Having said that, he took a step forward and used the move "Welcoming Guests with Pine Trees" to charge towards the eldest of the five men.

"Good timing. Leave this kid to me, you guys go take care of that woman."

The group immediately divided into two factions and began fighting in the woods.

After several months of training, Yue Yuan was no longer the ignorant man he once was. His longsword was incredibly versatile, forcing the leader to cower in defense.

"Huashan Sword Technique, are you from the Huashan Sect?"

Yue Yuan had no intention of talking to him. After a few moves, he found an opportunity to parry the broadsword and swiftly struck the leader's chest with his Five Poisons Palm, instantly shattering the man's heart meridian.

After killing the ringleader, he quickly went to support Yue Lingshan.

The henchmen were terrified when they saw their leader die, and they all made mistakes, which the two men seized and killed with a few sword strokes.

"Is Senior Sister alright?" "Yue Yuan, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine!" "I'm fine!"

They both laughed after they finished speaking.
