"Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you hadn't blocked the sword for me, you wouldn't have been injured."
Fang Bai walked over and lowered his head with a look of guilt on his face.
The attack happened in a hurry, and there were many people on the other side. Fang Bai was not aware of it for a moment and fell into a tight siege. When he was about to be injured, it was Chen Shi'en who helped save him.
"oh?"
Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and he finally understood why Chen Shien's martial arts was the first one to be injured. He also vaguely understood why Fang Bai was so impatient to chase them after they retreated.
"I don't want to hear this kind of thing again. This operation, we are a unit, and we need everyone to work together. And we are brothers and sisters, there is no need for anyone to apologize to the other."
Chen Shien said lightly, not caring about the injury.
"Hmph! If you have time to pretend to feel sorry for yourself, why not quickly find a way to find out the inner ghost among us. Do you think they really quit? If the secret of their whereabouts is not revealed, sooner or later there will be a second one.
Second, third attack!”
A cold voice came unceremoniously from the fork. Meng Shenji was sitting on a blood-stained rock, some distance away from everyone, with no trace of sarcasm in his eyes.
As soon as the words fell, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water in the middle of winter. All the sounds suddenly stopped, everyone fell silent, and a strange and nervous atmosphere suddenly floated in the air.
In a blur, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared between everyone, and they were no longer as close as before when they joined forces to fight against the enemy.
Yang Ji took a deep look at Meng Shenji, and then his eyes passed over the others. Rays of light flashed in his eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking at the moment.
Chen Shien has the most stubborn and upright character. Even Yang Ji was reprimanded by him for being late. Meng Shenji was so sarcastic and undermined the unity among his fellow disciples. According to the usual situation, he had already given a harsh reprimand.
.
But at this moment, Chen Shien was surprisingly quiet.
The whereabouts of the five people were very secretive, and they were not looking for an official path. They chose a path at random in such deep mountains. It was impossible for anyone to know in advance.
Even Chen Shien himself didn't know which "path" he would choose at the next moment. But under such "undetermined whereabouts", the five people were actually ambushed.
The opponent had traveled thousands of miles to attack, but in the vast mountains, they found them without any mistakes, and it was still at night.
There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is that someone among the five of them has revealed their secret.
The operation has just begun. Among the five people appointed by the elders to shoulder the responsibilities of the sect, there are some who cannot believe it. For Chen Shien, this is precisely what makes him feel most distressed.
This is not just him. Yang Ji, Meng Shenji, Fang Bai, Jiang Jianqing, everyone has this suspicion. It's just that no one except Meng Shenji took the initiative to raise it.
"Meng Shen Ji!"
Chen Shien took a deep breath, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but more of it was anger:
"What do you think about this matter?"
There was a certain determination faintly revealed in Chen Shien's voice. Meng Shenji was right, the existence of the inner ghost is a hidden danger. If this point is not solved, let alone compete with other sects for the task of imperial conquest, it will be itself.
It is also difficult to save one's life.
"Hmph! Now every one of the five of us is a suspect, including you!"
Meng Shenji looked coldly, looked up at Chen Shien, and said unceremoniously.
"Yes, everyone here is suspect, including me!"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Chen Shien actually admitted it without hesitation.
"Meng Shenji, don't talk nonsense. If Senior Brother Chen is a traitor, how could he take the initiative to take a blow for me? If he is a traitor, who are we?"
Fang Bai said angrily.
Chen Shien was injured because of him. Meng Shenji suspected Chen Shien. The most angry person was not Chen Shien, but "Fang Bai".
"Hmph! It's true that he was injured because of you, but who knows if it's a ploy? And it's true that he is the 'elder brother' in the faction, but isn't it possible that the 'elder brother' is a spy? Before that, you cooperated with him
How many times? Once? Twice? Three times? Do you know him thoroughly?"
Meng Shenji retorted unceremoniously.
"enough."
Yang Ji looked calm and said calmly, with a special power in his voice: "Forget it, Senior Brother Chen. If he is also a traitor, then none of the four of us here can escape."
Yang Ji didn't elaborate, but there was no weak person, let alone stupid one, who could be picked by the elder. He immediately understood what he meant.
In this operation, the strongest of the two parties is the leader of the men in black, and the other is Chen Shien. The other party's purpose is to ambush them. If it is an act, then it is too much.
The two strongest "Xiao Zhoutian" powerhouses can completely suppress Yang Ji, Fang Bai, Jiang Jianqing and the others by joining forces. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to play such "little cleverness".
"Senior Brother Yang is right. To be honest, I don't believe there is anything wrong with Senior Brother Chen."
After a period of silence, Jiang Jianqing spoke in agreement.
With the addition of Fang Bai, almost no one except Meng Shenji now suspects that Chen Shien is the "ghost".
"very good."
Meng Shenji narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp light burst out from his pupils, and said coldly:
"Since there is no problem with Senior Brother Chen, then the ones with problems must be us. - Yang Ji, the four of us have always been together. Only the last one came. If there is a spy among us, then that spy
The ghost - it must be 'you'!"
At the end of the sentence, Meng Shen Jihuo stood up and shouted fiercely. The blood in his body surged, and a powerful energy locked on Yang Ji. It seemed that as long as Yang Ji dared to make any changes, or could not explain the reason,
, it is necessary to kill him painfully.
"Hmph! Avenging private revenge... It's really not unexpected. Meng Shenji, that's all you can do. It's really disappointing."
Yang Ji sneered.
From the moment Meng Shenji opened his mouth, he knew that Meng Shenji would definitely bring disaster to him. The result was really not unexpected.
"Meng Shenji, if I were a traitor, could you still stand here and talk to me? Think about how Senior Brother Chen made me escape before. If it weren't for me, at least one or two people here would fall here forever.
.”
Yang Ji sneered.
This statement sounded extremely arrogant, but Yang Ji knew it well, and he had already restrained himself a lot. If he hadn't asked Xiao Ji to enter the woods to sneak attack a man in black, and the screams woke them up, I am afraid that among the five of them, at the beginning
There was a lot of damage.
Even the leader of the men in black finally retreated, a lot of it was because of "Xiao Ji". Just a senior brother "Chen Shi'en" couldn't stop the leader of the men in black.
It's just that Xiao Ji belongs to a secret of Yang Ji. Even if many people have seen it a few times, they may not have thought that it is actually the famous "Crown King Snake"!
But for Yang Ji, he still chooses not to expose Xiao Ji's identity as much as possible. After all, having more means to suppress the situation means more ability to save his life.
If everything is exposed, the other party will be prepared in the future. It will not be so useful.
"That's the same thing. Who knows if you are just trying to get yourself out of trouble? Now that even our secret whereabouts have been discovered, what else can't happen?"
Meng Shen said in a cold voice. Regarding Yang Ji, he was completely tit-for-tat, without any scruples, and seemed determined to kill Yang Ji with one bite.
"Yang Ji, it's not that we doubt it. It's just that this matter involves everyone's lives. If the traitor is found, everyone's lives will be in danger at any time. So you should explain it."
Chen Shi'en said.
Jiang Jianqing and Fang Bai did not speak. But silence itself is an attitude.
Although they did not believe that Yang Ji was the traitor, Meng Shenji was not wrong at all. Yang Ji did come too late. It was so late that it was doubtful that this would be the case under normal circumstances.
At a certain moment, they even thought that Yang Ji had been murdered. Unexpectedly, Yang Ji showed up in the end.
"That being the case, I won't say much. Facts speak louder than words. Come with me."
Yang Ji said calmly.
He didn't even explain. He fluttered his sleeves and immediately rushed to the place where he had camped before. After a moment, he saw the corpses scattered among the grass and rocks, and smelled the strong smell of blood in the air. Everyone fell silent.
No one thought that there was actually a group of people hiding here.
After careful inspection, even Meng Shenji was secretly shocked. Almost all of these people were killed with one blow, and one of them even had his head cut off, which showed that the battle was extremely tragic.
It was already good that Yang Ji could come over at that time.
"Junior Brother Yang, we wrongly blamed you."
Chen Shien said sincerely:
"Even if it's a cruel trick, there is absolutely no need to bury so many people with him."
Fang Bai and Jiang Jianqing were also secretly frightened. They crouched down and looked at a few people carefully. They discovered that among them were strong men at the fourth level of martial arts, the "Blood Furnace" realm.
For a strong man of this level, even they had to fight hard, and they were not very sure of victory. But Yang Ji actually killed them, and he didn't seem to have experienced too many blows, and he was fatal with one blow!
"What a sharp swordsmanship. I never expected that he has such terrifying swordsmanship."
Jiang Jianqing glanced at Yang Ji and was secretly shocked.
Behind him, he also studied under several "elder brothers" who were highly skilled in martial arts. He was immersed in the art of swordsmanship and had a lot of knowledge about swordsmanship. Others only saw the tragic death of these men in black, but they saw from these wounds that
He developed a shocking swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship is so strong that it is even better than that of the "elder brother" he always admired.
"Junior Brother Yang, there should be no problem."
Fang Bai said.
"I believe him too."
Jiang Jianqing also echoed. As soon as his voice fell, his originally suppressed aura suddenly became more solemn.
All eyes were focused on Fang Bai, Jiang Jianqing and Meng Shenji.
Yang Ji and Chen Shien have been eliminated as suspects, so the real "traitor" should fall on the three of them.
The air was suddenly filled with a suffocating pressure.
