Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"What's so serious that even our Ancient Immortal Dao lineage is involved? Are the people from the Xuan Heaven Holy Land looking for trouble? Or is there a new movement from the Sacred Flame Sect?"
There weren't many things that could involve the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage. Besides the grudges with the Xuan Heaven Holy Land, the only other thing he could think of was the Sacred Flame Sect, which had been silent for many years.
The Ancient Immortal Dao lineage was constantly developing and growing stronger, and so was the Sacred Flame Sect.
However, compared to their initial high-profile and aggressive stance, the current Sacred Flame Sect was frighteningly quiet.
Chen Changsheng had already foreseen that the two sides would inevitably engage in a life-and-death confrontation one day in the future, which would be a major cleansing for the cultivation world.
Luo Liuxi gently waved her slender hand, and a large number of light spots appeared in front of her, outlining a map.
Her jade-like finger pressed on the golden light spot in the middle.
"Miaomiao has already sent back news that they have been tracing the Profound Demons all the way and discovered that the people in this city are all incarnations of the Profound Demons!"
"After they investigated further, they found that this city is specifically used for refining Profound Demons. All the killed cultivators are replaced by Profound Demons here and then sent back to various sects and factions."
"After learning this secret, Zhang Qingxuan and others were discovered by the Profound Demons. They fought their way out of the city and activated the Ancient Immortal Token for help."
Among the large number of floating light spots, thirteen white light spots were turned red by Luo Liuxi's slender hand.
And traced a line downwards from the golden light spot, indicating the escape route of Miaomiao and others.
Luo Liuxi continued, "There are thirteen sects around this city that have joined the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage. These people are very fast to provide support. However, just when they thought they were saved, they suddenly discovered that the supporting cultivators were all incarnations of Profound Demons!"
At this point, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
If it was just a city full of Profound Demons, it would indeed be shocking, but it wouldn't be a big problem.
But when the sects that joined the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage were also occupied by Profound Demons, it meant that the invasion of the Profound Demons had reached an unimaginable level!
"I have already sent the second-generation elders of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage to help. Currently, Miaomiao and Yuniang are both fine, so you can rest assured."
Luo Liuxi naturally saw Chen Changsheng's anxiety, so she said it in advance so that he wouldn't worry.
"However, this incident has resulted in heavy casualties among the Demon Suppression Division disciples, and it has also unearthed the secret of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage sects being replaced by Profound Demons. I have sent the elders of the Dao lineage to investigate all the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage sects."
"I have a feeling that the cultivation world is going to be in chaos again!"
Luo Liuxi's pretty face was solemn, and she was constantly paying attention to the information in the chat group. She specifically @Liu Yuemei, hoping to get some useful information from her.
Unfortunately, Liu Yuemei didn't reply, and the other Sacred Flame Sect members were also collectively silent, as if they had disappeared from the chat group.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen in such a short time."
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If the Profound Demons have massively invaded the sects of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, then the only people we can trust are the group members who have joined the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage."
"We must let the major sects and factions master the means to see through disguises, otherwise, we won't be able to tell whether the companions around us are human or demons."
There would be a group notification if a group member died, so even if they were replaced by a Profound Demon, we would know. However, if a non-group member was replaced by a Profound Demon, the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage elders in Taiping City would be completely unaware.
This was a huge hidden danger, giving the Profound Demons a chance to grow.
Just like these thirteen Ancient Immortal Dao lineage sects, they had no idea when they were replaced by Profound Demons. It was likely that many other Ancient Immortal Dao lineage sects had been invaded by Profound Demons.
This was an invasion operation by the Sacred Flame Sect against the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, silently weakening the foundation of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage and using it to strengthen themselves!
...
A month later.
The Demon Suppression Division successively received intelligence from various sects and factions, as well as private messages from the elders.
Nearly one-third of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage's sects had been invaded by Profound Demons!
The most serious situation was that the entire sect was full of Profound Demons, and the slightly better situation was that only some disciples were replaced by Profound Demons.
The forces outside the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage were completely unaware of this, and didn't even discover the existence of the Profound Demons. Only the Immortal Cultivation Holy Lands discovered the anomaly and launched internal investigations within the Holy Lands.
Zhi Shu stood in front of Chen Changsheng, reporting the latest intelligence: "Recently, a large number of Profound Demons have invaded Taiping City, which has greatly reduced the efficiency of the Demon Suppression Division and the City Lord's Mansion's investigation. We have already called on the disciples of the Dao Treasure Pavilion to help, but there is still a shortage of manpower."
Chen Changsheng heard this and took out a bronze mirror magic weapon and handed it over: "The main reason for the low efficiency is because the spells for testing Profound Demons are too mentally exhausting. Take this bronze mirror, and only lend it to trusted subordinates."
The disguise of the Profound Demons could not hide under the bronze mirror, which could greatly improve the efficiency of testing Profound Demons.
If Miaomiao was here, the testing efficiency would be even higher. Miaomiao, who was born immune to illusions, only needed to glance to know who was the real person and who was the Profound Demon.
"Master, we're back!"
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he saw Miaomiao descending rapidly from the sky and throwing herself into his arms.
Her delicate and beautiful face was full of excitement and joy, and it was impossible to tell that she had just experienced a ten-thousand-mile chase.
Then, Li Linyu's plump and graceful figure landed, calling out 'Young Master' softly to him, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness.
Seeing this, Zhi Shu was very sensible and quickly left with the bronze mirror magic weapon, not daring to continue to disturb them.
Chen Changsheng immediately put on a stern face and knocked Miaomiao and Yuniang on the head respectively, scolding seriously: "If you mess around like this again next time, I won't let you two go out on your own. I asked you to investigate the ghost infant incident, but you chased after the Profound Demon City?"
If it weren't for the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage's strong foundation and Zhang Qingxuan's great luck to help, the two girls would probably not have been able to come back.
"I'm sorry, Master, we won't dare to do it again next time."
"It was all this concubine's recklessness, and it has nothing to do with Miaomiao. If Young Master wants to punish, then punish this concubine."
Li Linyu's delicate body bowed slightly, and her charming face showed a look of sadness, looking pitiful.
Chen Changsheng snorted coldly and said righteously, "Both of you will be punished, and no one will be exempt. Miaomiao, you go to the Demon Suppression Division first to help test whether there are any Profound Demons invading the city. Yuniang, come with me into the house to receive your punishment!"
Hearing this, Miaomiao blinked her eyes.
She looked at her serious Master and then at Yuniang, whose pretty face was flushed with shyness. She said 'oh' and floated towards the Demon Suppression Division.
Miaomiao was no longer stupid. How could she not see that the punishment her Master was talking about was not as terrible as she imagined...
