When Ji Xiuzhu returned to Suizhu Garden, it was already midnight.

She lay on the bed with her eyes open, lost in thought.

Because on this day, she experienced so much.

For example, why does she have so many complicated memories?

For example, why did her future disciples come to find her one after another?

For example, who was it that harmed Gu Xingyun and put the blame on the hermit?

She was puzzled by all the above.

If it was someone from the outside world who broke in, her Shenyin Sect had a mountain protection formation watching over it, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

Then, the person who framed him must still be inside the mountain gate.

But how to find the person is a bit of a headache.

Ji Xiuzhu decided to start with her own disciples, as she knew the personality and past experiences of each of them.

Perhaps, we can find some clues from it.

In the next few days, Ji Xiuzhu secretly observed every move of each disciple, trying to find anything unusual.

However, everything seemed normal and no one showed any suspicious signs, and Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Was her guess wrong? Or was the spy hiding too deeply?

As she was thinking, a disciple caught her attention.

"This is a third-generation disciple. Apparently, he should be the disciple that Fu Xiuming mentioned at the last meeting, who was found for Hu Yin and the others." Ji Xiuzhu leaned against the stone pillar at the mountain gate, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"It's so late, and you're still going out? There's something fishy going on."

After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he followed without making any noise.

The night was as dark as ink, and the entire Shenyin Sect was silent.

Ji Xiuzhu's figure looked particularly lonely in the moonlight. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the third-generation disciple, her heart full of doubts.

The disciple's name was Yun Yi. He was diligent and humble in his daily life and had never behaved abnormally.

But tonight, his behavior made Ji Xiuzhu feel something unusual.

Yun Yi's steps were light, as if he was trying to avoid making any noise. His eyes were alert and he looked back from time to time, as if he was worried about being followed.

Ji Xiuzhu followed Yun Yi carefully. Her figure almost blended into the darkness. Her steps were light and made no sound.

She knew that if there was really something wrong with Yun Yi, then she had to be careful and not let the other party notice.

Ji Xiuzhu hid his figure and followed Yun Yi through several courtyards, finally coming to a remote corner.

There is a small pavilion there, surrounded by dense bamboo forest, which makes it particularly hidden.

Ji Xiuzhu hid behind a big tree, quietly observing Yun Yi's every move.

Yun Yi was seen looking around in the pavilion. After making sure that no one was following him, he took out a black token from his arms and gently placed it on the stone table.

Then he stepped back and whispered a spell.

As the spell was chanted, a faint black light emanated from the token, and a strange aura began to permeate the pavilion.

Ji Xiuzhu frowned. She could feel the aura of the demon contained in that breath, but it was different from the aura of a pure-blooded demon.

In comparison, Yun Yi's aura is more like an enchantment.

She was shocked. Could it be that Yun Yi was really colluding with the evil forces outside?

She decided not to hide anymore and showed up immediately, ready to capture Yun Yi.

"Brat, what are you doing?" Ji Xiuzhu's voice was particularly clear in the night, and her figure appeared in front of Yun Yi like a ghost.

Yun Yi was startled by Ji Xiuzhu's sudden appearance. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Ji Xiuzhu and said calmly, "Greetings, Sect Master. I think you may have misunderstood. I am just practicing a new spell and don't want to be disturbed."

Ji Xiuzhu snorted coldly, her eyes fell on the black token, and said coldly: "Practicing magic? I think you are colluding with the evil forces outside and trying to harm our Shenyin Sect."

Yun Yi's expression changed slightly. He knew that his plan had been discovered, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

As he spoke, he suddenly made a move. A black beam of light shot out from his hand and hit Ji Xiuzhu directly.

Ji Xiuzhu was prepared. She flashed and easily avoided Yun Yi's attack.

Then, she just pulled out the Zhu Xian Sword with her hand.

In an instant, the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, and the sword light was like a rainbow, pointing directly at Yun Yi.

Seeing this, Yun Yi immediately stepped back. He knew that he was no match for Ji Xiuzhu, so he turned around and tried to run away.

Ji Xiuzhu lived up to everyone's expectations and pursued him relentlessly.

She knew that Yun Yi must be hiding more secrets. The two of them walked through the bamboo forest, one in front and one behind. In the night, only their footsteps and rapid breathing could be heard.

At this moment, Yun Yi suddenly stopped, turned around to face Ji Xiuzhu, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. She felt that an even more powerful evil force was gathering on Yun Yi.

"Master Ji, you are too naive. Do you really think you can stop me?" Yun Yi's voice became cold, his body began to emit black mist, and his whole temperament changed.

Ji Xiuzhu gripped her sword tightly, she knew that this battle was inevitable.

But at the same time, the mastermind behind the scenes may also be exposed.

So she took a deep breath and prepared for the battle.

Her eyes were determined. No matter what Yun Yi was hiding behind, she was determined to expose it and protect the safety of the Shenyin Sect.

She just made seals with her hands and released her ultimate move.

"I am in a hurry and don't want to get involved with you. If you are smart, tell me the dirty things you have done. I will spare your life."

A hint of mockery flashed in Yun Yi's eyes, and his body was completely covered by black mist. The power made his figure even taller, as if something had awakened inside him.

He sneered, "Master Ji, you overestimate yourself. Do you think you really understand me? Today, I will let you see my true power!"

Ji Xiuzhu frowned. She could feel the power in Yun Yi expanding rapidly, which made her feel a little uneasy.

She knew that this was no longer the disciple she was familiar with, but a puppet controlled by evil forces.

"Since you refuse to repent, don't blame me for being rude." Ji Xiuzhu's voice was firm and powerful. Her figure was like a flash of lightning in the night. The Zhuxian Sword drew dazzling sword lights in the air. Each sword was accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, pointing directly at Yun Yi's vital points.

Yun Yi was not to be outdone. His body was looming in the black fog, and every movement had a strange trajectory, as if he could predict Ji Xiuzhu's attack.

He waved his hands in the air, and the black beams of light were like sharp arrows, colliding with Ji Xiuzhu's sword light, making bursts of roars.

The battle between the two was extremely fierce. The sword light and the black light intertwined together, forming a shocking picture.

Ji Xiuzhu's swordsmanship is superb, and each sword contains a strong internal force, while Yun Yi relies on the blessing of evil power, and each counterattack is full of destructive power.

However, as the battle continued, Ji Xiuzhu gradually gained the upper hand.

Her swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and every attack made Yun Yi unable to defend.

Anxiety showed on Yun Yi's face. He knew that his strength was gradually weakening, while Ji Xiuzhu was becoming more and more courageous.

"It seems that your strength is just this much." Ji Xiuzhu said coldly, the tip of her sword pointing directly at Yun Yi's throat. Just a slight movement would end the battle.

A trace of despair flashed in Yun Yi's eyes, he knew he had no way out.

Suddenly, his body began to tremble violently, and black mist began to pour out of his body, forming a huge black vortex.

"Oh my god!" Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. She felt a strong suction force that seemed to suck her soul away.

Seeing this, she immediately activated her internal energy and tried to resist this force.

Yun Yi's voice came from the vortex, with a hint of madness: "Master Ji, you underestimate this power. Today, even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!"

Ji Xiuzhu's face became solemn. She knew that this force was no longer something she could easily resist.

So, she slowed down her tone and said calmly: "Boy, isn't it good to be alive? My Shenyin Sect should not have owed you anything, right? Why do you have to fight so hard?"

Yun Yi snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Master Ji, are you scared? You're telling me so much just to beg me not to hurt you."

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Ji Xiuzhu stopped trying to comfort her.

She took a deep breath, focused her eyes, and began to mobilize the internal strength of her body, preparing to launch her strongest attack.

"In that case, let me show you my true power!" Ji Xiuzhu's voice echoed in the night. Her body was surrounded by a layer of golden light, and the light on the Zhu Xian Sword became even brighter.

"Sword to slay immortals, destroy evil!" Ji Xiuzhu shouted, and the sword in her hand turned into a golden beam of light, rushing straight into the sky, and then slashed towards Yun Yi with the force of thunder.

A look of fear appeared on Yun Yi's face. He wanted to escape, but found that his body had been firmly locked by the powerful suction force.

He could only watch helplessly as the golden beam of light struck him.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the golden beam of light collided with the black vortex, making a deafening explosion.

The entire Shenyin Sect was shaken by this force. Many disciples were awakened and walked out of the room to see what was going on.

When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Yun Yi's figure had disappeared, leaving only a broken black token.

Ji Xiuzhu stood there, her face pale, obviously the previous attack consumed a lot of her internal energy. She picked up the token, frowning.

Ji Xiuzhu stared at the token in his hand, which was engraved with strange patterns and emitted a faint black light.

A trace of doubt arose in her heart. What did this token mean?

Why did Yun Yi risk her life to protect it?

At this time, an old man walked slowly over, his eyes fell on the token in Ji Xiuzhu's hand, and his face changed drastically.

"Is this the legendary Immortality Order?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke.

As a result, it was discovered that the person was the elder promoted by Fu Xiuming, named Huan Heng.

The appearance of Elder Huanheng made Ji Xiuzhu raise her eyebrows slightly. She turned her gaze from the token in her hand to Huanheng with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Elder Huanheng, do you recognize this token?" There was a subtle hint of vigilance in Ji Xiuzhu's voice.

Elder Huanheng nodded, a solemn expression on his face: "Sect Master, this token is called the Immortal Token, and it is an extremely rare treasure among the demons. According to legend, as long as the token is not destroyed, the person holding the Immortal Token can be resurrected from the brink of death, and each time they are resurrected, their strength will be enhanced."

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she tightened her hand holding the token involuntarily: "So, Yun Yi is not really dead?"

Elder Huanheng sighed and said slowly, "That's true in theory, but the use of the Immortal Order is not without cost. Every resurrection will cause great damage to the holder's body and soul. No one will use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

Ji Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, her eyes fell on the token in her hand again, her mind full of thoughts.

Why does Yun Yi have such a treasure?

What kind of secret is hidden behind him?

Is all this related to the recent unusual movements of the Shenyin Sect?

"Elder Huanheng, do you know the origin of this Immortal Order?" Ji Xiuzhu asked.

Elder Huan Heng shook his head and said, "Sect Master, the origin of the Immortal Order is extremely mysterious. Even among the demons, it is a very secretive existence. I have only seen some records of it in ancient books. No one knows its specific origin and production method."

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, she knew that what Elder Huanheng said was true.

The existence of the Immortal Order is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Shenyin Sect.

She must find out the truth as soon as possible to prevent a greater disaster from happening.

"Elder Huanheng, this matter is of great importance. You and I need to gather the other elders immediately to discuss countermeasures." Ji Xiuzhu said in a deep voice. Elder Huanheng nodded in agreement, and the two of them hurried to the meeting room.

In the meeting hall,

The elders of the Shenyin Sect gathered together, and Ji Xiuzhu informed everyone about the Immortal Order in detail.

When the elders heard this, they were all shocked and talked about it.

"Master, this matter is of no small importance. We must immediately strengthen the sect's defenses to prevent the demons from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos." Fu Xiuming said anxiously.

Another elder frowned and said, "Yun Yi's matter must also be thoroughly investigated. Why does he have the Undying Order? Are there other disciples who are colluding with the demons?"

Ji Xiuzhu nodded, and her eyes swept over every elder present: "What the elders said is very true. We must act immediately. On the one hand, we must strengthen the defense of the sect, and on the other hand, we must conduct an in-depth investigation into Yun Yi's matter. I suspect that Yun Yi's case is not an isolated case, and there may be other hidden dangers within the Shenyin Sect."

The elders all agreed, and Ji Xiuzhu immediately issued a series of orders, and the Shenyin Sect immediately became busy. At the same time, Ji Xiuzhu also personally led several trusted disciples to conduct a thorough search of Yun Yi's residence.

They found a hidden compartment under Yun Yi's bed, which contained a letter and some strange talismans.

The content of the letter made Ji Xiuzhu's face turn extremely ugly. The letter mentioned an organization called "Mingsheng" and their plan to infiltrate the Shenyin Sect.
