In the main hall, Bai Mengjin sat high and listened quietly to their argument.
Mao Tu claimed that he had just inspected the barrier and there could be no problem. Leng Qiufeng must have tampered with it and sent a message to the outside world. Now the Immortal Alliance has been alarmed, causing immeasurable losses to the Demon Sect's next plan, and must be severely punished.
Leng Qiufeng insisted that the barrier problem was Mao Tu's fault, and he happened to encounter it during his inspection. Mao Tu immediately chose to attack instead of checking the barrier. He had reason to suspect that this was a deliberate frame-up.
Neither of them would give in.
In addition to Zishu, Chenlong, Shenhou and others also rushed over. Over the years, they have taken turns to heal their wounds, but today is the day when all the zodiac signs are the same except for the day when they were enthroned.
"When I handed over, the barrier had been in good condition. The Shenhou and Youji who were on duty before found no abnormalities. How come such a big mistake happened in your hands?" Maotu was so aggressive that he even dragged others into his arms.
.
Leng Qiufeng did not back down: "So before I took over, you were in charge. I only know the basics of formations, and Master Maotu is the master of formations. He destroyed it just right and disguised it without leaving any trace. You are probably the only one who can do it."
It can be done!”
"You actually beat me up!" Mao Tu was furious, "Destroying the barrier will make the Immortal Alliance more vigilant, causing us to lose the opportunity! In order to frame you and cause such losses? You are not worthy!"
"Who knows?" Leng Qiufeng said lightly, "We all wear the same mask, but no one knows what the face underneath looks like. Since you can be an undercover agent in the Immortal League, who knows if you will be brainwashed by them?
.”
Mao Tu sneered: "I haven't talked about you yet, but you poured dirty water on me first. We, the twelve earthly branches, have all gone through rigorous tests to enter the Demon Sect, but you, who are neither a real Demon Cultivator, took the initiative to do so"
If you invest, who knows what you have in mind."
Leng Qiufeng said calmly: "My origins are clear and I have never concealed anything. My demonic body was formed by Your Majesty's own hands, and I cannot hide my thoughts from her. When you say that I have a problem, do you mean that you cannot trust Your Majesty?"
"
"You..." Maotu was so angry that his face turned red.
This matter was originally just a conflict between her and Leng Qiufeng, but he insisted on involving Bai Mengjin, clearly confident: questioning me is equivalent to questioning your Majesty, do you dare?
Mao Tu didn't dare. Ever since Bai Mengjin assumed the throne, she has been the superior Demon Lord without showing any trace of her past. She neither dared to arouse everyone's deep-seated suspicions, nor dared to face the punishment from the Demon Lord - the Demon Lord.
His strength is unfathomable.
During the stalemate, Chen Long glanced at both sides and said: "You guys are so noisy, and there will be no results. The way of formation, if you do it, it will leave traces, we can just check it out."
Zishu said: "There is no evidence, and there is no reason. Calculated, the time when there is a problem with the barrier is still very short, and it should be possible to find out."
After saying that, he turned to Bai Mengjin: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Bai Mengjin's eyes lowered and fell on Mao Tu and Leng Qiufeng in turn, and the hairs on both of them stood up.
After a while, she said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of magic light flew out of his sleeves and disappeared instantly.
When everyone was puzzled, a subtle voice suddenly sounded, and their consciousness suddenly changed, and their expressions suddenly changed.
I saw that the magic light extended inch by inch, as thin as a microscopic hair, and the light flowed wherever it went. In a short period of time, it started from the barrier and traveled through the entire formation covering the underworld.
This kind of magic power is unheard of!
After a moment, the magic light turned into a devil's hand, pulled out a monster from a certain node, and threw it on the main hall.
"This is..." Zishu frowned.
The magic light was withdrawn into his sleeve, and Bai Mengjin said softly: "This demon is trapped in the node, resulting in poor circulation of magic power and loopholes."
Mao Tu seemed to have caught a big clue and immediately attacked Leng Qiufeng: "The barrier was intact when I handed over, which means that the magic power was flowing smoothly at that time. If something goes wrong when you take the turn, it must be your fault!"
Leng Qiufeng said, "Were you really in good condition when you handed over? With Master Maotu's formation skills, it shouldn't be difficult to pretend to delay for a while, right?"
Before Mao Tu could refute, Bai Mengjin had already spoken: "When did the problem happen? We'll know if we look at it?"
As she said that, she raised her hand and pointed, turning into a gray-white mist mirror and shining it on the monster. She heard a scream and all the devil's breath was extracted from her body and fell on the mirror, reflecting the scene at that time.
This monster has low intelligence and is one of the low-level demon servants in the sect. It is driven to do chores on weekdays. When the rabbit meets the cold autumn wind, it is in the dead wood forest, cleaning up the filthy air that escapes.
Suddenly a gloomy wind blew, and it shrank down and accidentally bumped into a dead tree. At this moment, the barrier formation's eyes were bursting with light, and the water of the Ming River washed a wave of gloomy souls in. It got close and was sucked in.
The ghost flows into the underworld. It is absorbed by the barrier because of the demonic breath on its body. After flowing around, it finally gets stuck at a certain node.
At this time, Maotu took over and left, and Leng Qiufeng took over the duty.
The light in the foggy mirror went out, and things became clear.
Maotu was speechless, and Leng Qiufeng also shut up.
Others heaved a sigh of relief at first, then became heavy-hearted.
"It turned out to be an accident." Chen Long came out to liven up the atmosphere, "I just said, what frame up and collaborate with the enemy? How could everyone do such a thing?"
At the end of the sentence, the atmosphere was still solemn and Chen Long shut his mouth.
In the silence, Bai Mengjin spoke: "Although there is nothing wrong with the barrier, you are. The war between our Demon Sect and the Immortal Alliance is about to begin. Instead of working together, you are suspicious of each other and hostile to each other. How can we fight against the Immortal Alliance if we are so divided?"
When it comes to this, things get big.
Zi Shu immediately led everyone to kneel down and kowtow: "I know my guilt."
Bai Mengjin did not forgive him: "What's the point of knowing your sin if you don't repent?"
The meaning revealed in her words made Mao Tu turn pale, his lips moved, and he said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the battlefield and repent."
The vortex gate where the Ming River water enters the underworld is the barrier formation. There, the poison of the Ming River water is concentrated, making it difficult for even demonic cultivators to withstand it.
Bai Mengjin said calmly: "If I punish you at this time, wouldn't it weaken our strength?"
After hearing this, Mao Tu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but felt even more regretful. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of relying on the situation to exclude dissidents. I am just worried that someone may have impure thoughts and ruin our affairs."
Bai Mengjin snorted softly.
Mao Tu's head lowered. She had not forgotten what Leng Qiufeng said before. His demonic body was condensed by His Majesty, and His Majesty knew all his movements. Doesn't doubting him mean doubting His Majesty?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zishu begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Maotu made a big mistake this time because of her poor thinking. But in the final analysis, it was for the sake of the Demon Sect, and I hope that she will be given a lighter punishment."
Chen Long and others also seconded the proposal: "I hope your Majesty will be given a lighter sentence."
Bai Mengjin looked at them indifferently. After a moment, she said: "You don't think about it when things happen, and you blame your colleagues, and you should be blamed. Although Weiyang has a reason for what happened, he also has malicious intentions, and he should be punished. Just enter the formation. No need, your loss of cultivation is equivalent to weakening our strength. Go to the Demon Sealing Formation, the two of you go together, and fully understand what it means to be the horns of each other."
This task is not easy. The punishment does not damage the strength but is also very difficult. Zi Shu and others are relieved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Maotu heard Leng Qiufeng go with him, and the last bit of frustration in his heart disappeared, and he kowtowed willingly: "I will obey the law."
