Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

"There is a traitor among us."

"And it's between the two of you."

"However, for old times' sake, let that person confess, and I'll be merciful."

Blood Tooth Taoist's sinister raspy voice faded, and silence fell over the room once more.

Xu Hai's legs started shaking again. He turned back to look at Qiu Jidan and found Qiu Jidan was also looking at him.

But before Xu Hai could speak, Qiu Jidan lightly coughed, "Blood Tooth, come out and meet me."

Xu Hai didn't know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to hear Blood Tooth choke as if he bit his tongue.

After another bout of silence, Blood Tooth's voice rang out once again.

"Special Envoy?"

Qiu Jidan nodded and produced his Black King Order.

Blood Tooth's voice vanished again, this time for longer, perhaps verifying Qiu Jidan's identity or preparing for something.

After waiting for a long time, Blood Tooth's voice sounded again, but this time sneaky, just beside Qiu Jidan's ear.

"Sorry, Special Envoy, I wasn't referring to you as the traitor. I'm not very skilled with this Child and Mother Qiankun yet, the sound leaked out... Please come in."

As soon as Blood Tooth finished speaking, a small temple appeared in the previously empty room, complete with a courtyard and a well. Qiu Jidan stepped towards the small temple, shrinking in size with each step, until he was as small as a pebble by the time he reached the temple entrance.

Xu Hai followed suit quickly upon seeing this.

After the two entered the temple, it disappeared again.

Qiu Jidan looked forward and saw no statues in the main hall, just a high-backed chair placed on a stone platform. The short Blood Tooth Taoist sat on it, his face wicked, with the air of a hero.

Beside him stood a tall red-haired Cultivator, with an expression of utter loyalty.

Kneeling before him were two subordinates, presumably the traitors Blood Tooth had imagined.

Upon seeing Qiu Jidan, Blood Tooth Taoist immediately leaped off the stone platform but seemed to feel that this was undignified and resumed his overbearing manner.

Blood Tooth was about to speak but felt the room was a bit crowded, so he waved his hand to usher the two 'traitors', Xu Hai, and the loyal red-haired man into the side hall.

The small temple within the Child and Mother Qiankun had already been refined into his own magical artifact, so with a wave of his hand, he locked the side hall door, isolating it from the small temple.

After ensuring that those in the side hall couldn't hear anything, Blood Tooth Taoist prostrated himself with a thud.

His heroic facade completely collapsed, and the small old man crawled over to hug Qiu Jidan's leg, "I'm finished, finished, Special Envoy, I've made a mess."

Even though Qiu Jidan was already armed with knowledge, he was unprepared for such a situation.

"Get up, what exactly happened." Looking at the limp, noodle-like Blood Tooth, Qiu Jidan was a bit irritable.

He initially thought it would be a power struggle, the intrigue among demon cultivators, a showdown between insiders and masterminds...

With a Golden Core level of cultivation, daring to stir trouble in Wangyang City, Qiu Jidan thought Blood Tooth must be a figure of some significance, and indeed, his heart did skip a beat when Blood Tooth mentioned a traitor.

But he didn't expect Blood Tooth to be such a character.

Who let him into the Hundred Demons Sect?

"Get up." Qiu Jidan kicked Blood Tooth again.

Blood Tooth hurriedly got up, and with a wave of his hand, brought the chair over. After serving Qiu Jidan to sit, he sheepishly explained the whole situation to him.

Blood Tooth had stolen from the Blood Lion Helm's treasury before fleeing Cyan Thorn, taking with him loyal subordinates.

At that time, with money and manpower, he was full of ambition and spirit, even starting to refer to himself as Old Ancestor Blood Tooth.

He led his men to Cang Mountain and its various states, intending to plant a foothold for the Hundred Demons Sect and potentially become a helm leader himself.

However, his ambitions were quickly shattered in the Beast Taming Sect's third crackdown of the year.

For some reason, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect had all equipped new gear, and their Spirit Beasts were outfitted with Fully-automated Thousand Mechanism Pavilion Magical Artifacts.

The little savings Blood Tooth managed to amass were mostly obliterated by the Thousand Mechanism Thunder bombardment and the Beast Taming Sect's blue-glow-emanating iron fists.

Adhering to the principle that danger often lurks in supposedly safe places, Blood Tooth, despite his grief and indignation, headed in the opposite direction, leading his remaining few subordinates to Wangyang City — a demon race town outside the jurisdiction of the Six Sects — to play the humble role.

But Blood Tooth's nature is hard to change; he'd forget his own lesson after just a bit of goodness. After posing as a humble player for a while, he began to assert himself once more.

The Hundred Demons Sect was in search of Stone Pills, and although Blood Tooth didn't know why given his rank, he knew finding them would earn a great merit.

He happened to discover the Divine Egg Gang was connected to Stone Pills, found one of Qiu Jidan's subordinates, and contacted a group of loose demon cultivators who were camping outside the city.

This group of loose demon cultivators had also fled to Wangyang City due to the Beast Taming Sect's crackdown.

Among them were two old men who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

This emboldened Blood Tooth to hatch a sneaky plan. He unfurled the banner of the Hundred Demons Sect, promising the two old men helm leader positions to cooperate with him.

Blood Tooth Taoist designed an intricate plan with steps and contingencies at every stage.

His plan was to capture Wei Dalu and his adopted daughter first, then use her to coerce Wei Dalu into revealing the secret of the Stone Pill, simultaneously shifting the blame onto the group of loose cultivators.

Amid the chaos sparked by the Demon Suppression Nail, he intended to plunder the Zhendong Trading Company in Wangyang City, finally taking the secrets and treasures to hitch a ride with Qiu Jidan, fleeing back to the Hundred Demons Sect to claim his reward.

This plan, Blood Tooth ensured, was executed by everyone on a need-to-know basis, devoid of any full disclosure to anyone.

However, the plan went awry from the very first link.

Even before the plan commenced, he was targeted, forcing him to hide within the Child and Mother Qiankun's sub-temple.

Several capable subordinates sent to track Wei Dalu outside the city never returned.

Zeng Bao, who went to He Gang to capture Wei Dalu's adopted daughter, returned, but he was carried back.

Currently, in the west of Wangyang City, demon cultivators were combing the streets everywhere, and Blood Tooth reckoned that the two subordinates who set up the Demon Suppression Nail were probably done for too.

The entire plan went completely out of control, and Blood Tooth didn't dare to escape, fearing those loose cultivators lying in wait outside the city would turn on him.

Out of ideas, Blood Tooth could only vent his anger on his subordinates, suspecting a traitor among him. Had it not been for the fact that there was no one else he could count on, he would have likely killed them both.

Now that Qiu Jidan had arrived, Blood Tooth acted as if he had found a lifeline, clinging to Qiu Jidan.

After hearing everything, Qiu Jidan thought for a moment and found Blood Tooth's plan to be utter garbage.

Though seemingly interlocking, it was rendered useless by a missing segment.

Just as he was about to mock, Qiu Jidan suddenly remembered that he used to be like this too, so he closed his mouth.

Hero Chou waved his hand to signal Blood Tooth to calm down, as he closed his eyes in contemplation.

He began to ponder on ways to sell out all these people.

"Can you get in touch with those loose cultivators? I want to talk to them." Qiu Jidan opened his eyes and looked at Blood Tooth.

"Special Envoy, do you want to...?" Blood Tooth hesitated.

"The plan will continue." Qiu Jidan said sternly, "I will take full command."

...

In the west of the city, downstairs of a building, the Fuji Radar in Zhang Ze's hand had just lost a signal for a while, but at this moment, the mass of mycelium began to move again, pointing to a tall building in the distance ahead.

However, Zhang Ze did not continue to pursue it, as he was dealing with the matter of the Soul Suppressing Nails.

The effect of the Soul Suppressing Nails was unknown even to the two unlucky guys who were caught, they only knew it could cause chaos.

To be safe, Zhang Ze decided to seek outside help.

Tang immediately recognized what it was and told Zhang Ze a reliable way to handle it.

Each Soul Suppressing Nail suppressed the Divine Soul of a demon beast, and after years of sacrificial refinement, it had become an evil artifact.

When this thing explodes, its power is astounding, and it also releases the demon beast's Divine Soul to wreak havoc.

A hundred or so Soul Suppressing Nails were found in the west of the city according to the map, and they were awaiting handling.

Tang's method was simply, feed Li.

[Tang: Trust me, these Soul Suppressing Nails are a great supplement for that little creature, only benefits no harm.]

Zhang Ze looked at the message from Tang, put away the small walnut, and turned to Hui Xue who had come along, "Do you have any plans?"

Hui Xue didn't understand this at all, she tilted her head, slightly opened her mouth, and let out a silent howl.

After a while, her ears twitched, and she said to Zhang Ze, "Old Wei said do whatever."

Zhang Ze looked at Hui Xue, "Is this how your demon race always communicates?"

Hui Xue shook her head, "It's just me."

"But Mr. Wei is also a fox..." But before Zhang Ze finished his words, he was interrupted by Lin Feng, "Look there, that person seems to be Qiu Jidan."

Following Lin Feng's pointing finger, Zhang Ze saw a figure on the roof looking at them.

...

Qiu Jidan stood on the rooftop, seeing some demon cultivators from the Demon-slaying Bureau on the distant street, he couldn't be bothered to use farsight spells to discern, as they would be busy soon anyway.

Just now, Qiu Jidan had already used his identity as a Special Envoy of the Hundred Demons Sect to persuade those loose cultivators, promising benefits even greater than Blood Tooth.

He directly divided half of the Spirit Stones and various medicinal and magical artifacts Blood Tooth brought among those loose cultivators.

He instructed the two Nascent Soul demon path practitioners to gather with Blood Tooth at a location and wait for his signal to simultaneously seize Wei Dalu and Bai Tao.

"In Wangyang City, only that surnamed Wei's cultivation is Nascent Soul; you can handle it."

"Once it's done, the other half of the treasures will also be granted to you, and I will directly transmit you to the Main Helm of the Hundred Demons Sect, escaping the demon race pursuit."

Qiu Jidan deceived them like that.

The two Nascent Soul practitioners, feeling confident and greedy for the treasures, thought that even if something went wrong, they could escape, so they agreed.

However, Qiu Jidan knew he was spouting nonsense, returning to the Main Helm of the Hundred Demons Sect was very complicated, he also didn't know the way, it required guidance from the Main Helm with a special method.

There was no direct transport magical artifact.

Moreover, he didn't even know where Bai Tao and Wei Dalu were now.

The location he designated was well-chosen, it was a hiding place that Blood Tooth had scouted in advance, near the city walls and uninhabited, a good place to hide.

If it were anywhere else, those two Nascent Soul loose cultivators wouldn't have agreed so easily.

"Nascent Soul..." Qiu Jidan sighed in his heart.

"If not for following the Demon Path, a Nascent Soul could have established a small sect already."

"But unfortunately, in the eyes of the demon race, it's really not much."

When Qiu Jidan left home, his father, who was the Grand Elder, rarely warned him.

"Don't provoke the demon race in the Northern Territory."

Given the carefree nature of the demon race, and with most of them staying quietly in the north without causing trouble, many people had forgotten one thing.

That is, the demon race is actually very dangerous; they are a race that naturally cultivates from the womb.

Although it was impossible to sense, there would definitely not be only one Nascent Soul in Wangyang City.

After receiving the message that everything was ready on Blood Tooth's side, Qiu Jidan sighed softly.

"I'm sorry, I want to be a good person now."

With that, a small black temple appeared in Qiu Jidan's hand.

Child and Mother Qiankun, the child temple could hide in a tiny spot, the mother temple could bind a space.

The child temple was refined by Blood Tooth, and the mother temple was taken by Qiu Jidan.

With black light blooming in his hand, a menacing black shadow of a divine temple enveloped over Wangyang City, the black light falling, setting one place as an entrance-only barrier.

It was the gathering and hiding place of Blood Tooth and those evil path loose cultivators.

Although it could only be sealed for a quarter of an hour, it should be enough for the demon race to eliminate all those people.

Just as Qiu Jidan was about to leave, a bony claw grabbed from the shadow behind him, shattering the Gang Qi around Qiu Jidan, only to be stopped by a protective magical artifact.

Before losing consciousness, Qiu Jidan heard a sinister voice.

"You traitor."
