Chapter 48 Distrust
Sometimes, I really don’t understand what the meaning of life is.
Later I thought about it clearly, it was just showing off.
——Taken from the Supreme Holy Demon of Heaven and Earth, Chapter 5802 of "My Diary" by Demon God Zhang
At this time, when Mr. Yunshan mentions Chu Ran, even a fool knows what it means.
Elder Cui gritted his teeth and said: "Chu Ran has been detained. It is impossible for her to pass on any news during the recent period."
"Really?"
Master Yunshan obviously didn't believe it.
There was no way around it. The reality of the situation forced him to suspect that someone was tipping off the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Moreover, only the top brass of the Righteous Alliance could spread the news so accurately.
Otherwise, the Tianmo Sect is in such a good situation, why not attack by force. Why did you step back at the most critical moment? Everything points to a spy in the Righteous Alliance Army.
The person that Mr. Yunshan is most suspicious of is, of course, Chu Ran who ran back from Xiaosheng County.
Several other sect leaders also looked at Elder Cui with complicated eyes.
To be honest, they also felt that there was something wrong within Zhengyi Sect. Mr. Yunshan's suspicion is very reasonable.
Let's see how the lion demon died. Zhengdao Newspaper would like to analyze it thoroughly.
That is, the Heavenly Demon Sect has long been mixed up with the dog-headed military counselor of the Lion Demon.
One light and one dark, he killed the lion demon and took away all the lion demon's things.
To be honest, when the news of Lion Demon's death came, Mr. Yunshan almost vomited blood from anger. This is a complete defeat, both good and evil are being played by the devil of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
With the lessons learned from the past, Master Yunshan cannot be too suspicious. If Elder Cui cannot prove his innocence, they will all take action to kill Chu Ran first.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
When Elder Cui saw everyone's unkind looks, he knew that he had to give everyone an explanation at this moment.
Fortunately, when he came back, he had thought about it and said quickly: "Master, everyone. I have decided to send Chu Ran back to the mountain gate now. She will no longer follow us and stay in the county. At the same time, I will let her stay in the county. The sect's back mountain is thinking of one's fault, and one cannot go down the mountain without orders."
Hearing this, Mr. Yunshan's expression softened slightly and he said, "Let her go back to the mountain gate? Well, that's a way. But Elder Cui, you have to think about it. The Heavenly Demon Sect may come back at any time and attack the Zhengyi Sect again. When she goes back, Might die."
Elder Cui sighed and said: "If that's true, then it is her life. At least she died in the battle against the demon cultivators instead of being killed by us. Killing the right one, I feel sad, but killing the wrong one , I feel even more sad.”
Mr. Yunshan thought for a while, as long as Chu Ran left the county, it didn't matter whether she lived or died. Anyway, what he wants is that he can no longer deliver news to the Demon Sect. As for Chu Ran's fate, Master Yunshan doesn't care.
Nodding, Mr. Yunshan said: "As soon as possible. At the same time, all the sect leaders and elders, we also have to find out who has leaked the news. I will say something ugly in front of you. It would be best if you can find out. If you can't find out, it will be better." Come out and don’t blame me for looking at anyone like a spy.”
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and left quickly.
Elder Cui took the lead and immediately led people to a small courtyard.
The small courtyard is located in the south of the county city, close to the city gate. The warriors guarding the door were not only disciples of Zhengyi Sect, but also people from other sects.
The guard was none other than Chu Ran, a disciple of Zhengyi Sect.
During this period, let alone letting Chu Ran go out, even Xiao Long wanted to see his junior sister Chu, but Elder Cui didn't agree.
I thought that such strict guarding could make Chu Ran less suspicious.
But now, it seems to have no effect at all.
"Stay outside the door and don't come in."
Elder Cui pushed open the door and saw Chu Ran sitting in the courtyard practicing.
"Chu Ran!"
Elder Cui took a few steps forward, put his hands behind his back and said.
Chu Ran took back his energy when he heard the sound, quickly opened his eyes and stood up.
"I've seen the elder. Elder, are you here to let me out?"
Chu Ran has been going crazy these past few days. She has been locked up immediately since she escaped. No one wanted to say a word to her, and no one gave her any explanation.
At first, Chu Ran thought he was protecting her. Later, she gradually realized something was wrong, and everyone looked at her with vigilance.
Chu Ran really didn't know what was going on, but no one talked to her, and she couldn't get any answers, so she could only endure it silently.
If you endure it, you will be where you are today. Chu Ran was very happy to see Elder Cui finally appear. She thought that the days of being in jail were finally coming to an end.
Elder Cui looked at her with complicated eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's right. I'm here to inform you that you are going back to the sect. I will send a few people from the righteous alliance to take you back. You have to be quiet, don't Ask more. After you return, go to the back mountain to retreat to the cliff. Without my order, you cannot leave the back mountain for a step."
Chu Ran said in surprise: "Going back to the sect? At this time? Shouldn't I stay in the county?"
It's okay if Chu Ran didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Elder Cui's expression suddenly changed and he said coldly: "What did you say? What do you know?"
It seemed that this was the first time Chu Ran saw Elder Cui's intimidating look, and he hurriedly replied: "Aren't you going to fight with the demon cultivator? If you don't defend the county, why are you going back to the sect?"
Elder Cui seemed to be chewing Chu Ran's words carefully, but in fact he was also analyzing the possibility that Chu Ran was a spy.
But after a while, Elder Cui still couldn't figure out the reason. He shook his head and said: "These are not things you should worry about. Be obedient, go back, and stay in the back mountain."
Chu Ran said repeatedly: "Elder, what mistake did I make? Why do you want to lock me up here? And why do you want to trap me in the back mountain when you go back?"
Elder Cui waved his hand and said: "An order is an order. There is nothing wrong or right."
Chu Ran gritted her teeth and seemed to have thought of something. Her face suddenly turned red and she said, "Is it because I am an extremely yin body? Furnace?"
Chu Ran said those two words that shouldn't be said. Elder Cui had already turned around, but when he heard these two words, he immediately turned around.
"You really know something."
Chu Ran said loudly: "Are the rumors true? Are they true?"
Elder Cui roared angrily: "That's enough. Chu Ran, don't mess around. I can tell you right now that the sect has no regrets for you. Now, I order you to go back to the mountain gate and to the back mountain. Will you listen?"
Chu Ran gritted his teeth, tears swirling in his eyes.
Finally, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, Chu Ran will obey the order."
Elder Cui exhaled and calmed himself down.
"Very good. I will explain some things to you when the time comes. You don't need to ask any more questions now. Only hard work is the only way to practice. There are many other things that I won't ask you. Just prepare yourself and we will set off later. .”
Elder Cui strode away and closed the door.
Until Elder Cui left, Chu Ran could no longer control himself and sobbed.
"It shouldn't be like this, how could it be true!"
Chu Ran slowly squatted down and hugged his knees sadly.
