After finishing her matters, Yun Jin rushed back to Tianxing Sect at the first moment because she'd always been uneasy about Zhao Wuji and Yang Yun.
Every day, she would ask Lin Ya about the situation within the sect.
She didn't know whether there truly was no situation at all, or whether her naive master had simply not discovered anything.
In any case, Lin Ya's replies to her had always been that everything was fine.
However, there's no need to be anxious now.
Regardless of whether there had been any changes.
She had already returned.
Then there wouldn't be any problems.
Yun Jin thought for a moment and didn't hurry to return to Tianxing Sect immediately.
The banquet was in the evening.
Before the banquet began, there would temporarily be no issues.
Yun Jin asked Yue Zhao, "Eldest Senior Brother. Previously, didn't I entrust you to investigate whether there were traces of demonic cultivators here? I wonder if there's been any related news?"
Yun Jin recalled her previous life.
She always felt like something was off.
Those demons should've been targeting Yang Yun, and Yang Yun had deliberately leaked his whereabouts to achieve the effect of killing with a borrowed knife.
Those demons didn't know that Yang Yun had already mostly recovered, and when they rashly attacked, they were naturally all wiped out by Yang Yun and his subordinates.
The problem lay with Yang Yun's subordinates.
Where had he gotten so many subordinates from?
At the time, even with so many people, no one discovered anything unusual about Yang Yun and his subordinates. This showed that they had concealed their aura very well.
Thus, when these people suddenly appeared, no one noticed.
Afterward, Yang Yun and his subordinates were even treated as honored guests.
However.
Yun Jin always believed that if something exists, there must be traces.
They might be able to conceal their aura.
But.
With so many people.
What about their behavior? Could it really have no abnormalities at all?
The current human race's method of distinguishing demons and demonic cultivators relied too heavily on sensing aura.
Yun Jin's thinking was very simple.
No matter what aura they have, whether human or demon, as long as one commits acts of evil and walk on the demonic path, they should all be killed.
Does it not count if they are committing evil deeds but cultivate orthodox techniques?
It still counts!
Yue Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Before I left, I hadn't discovered anything unusual. I arranged for my subordinates to keep watch. Now, we can first go to the marketplace and see if there's any new information."
"Alright." Yun Jin agreed.
Yue Zhao couldn't help but glance at Yun Jin with some hesitation.
Sob sob sob.
Little Junior Sister had already discovered that he'd transmigrated, yet she hadn't said a single word to him about it.
It somehow felt… even more awkward.
After flying for a while, the group quickly arrived at the marketplace.
"This place is rather unique." Old Fire looked around, appearing quite intrigued.
If it'd been the previous Yue Zhao, he would've definitely boasted about it.
At this moment, he glanced at Yun Jin somewhat guiltily and said, "There's nothing unique. Just some routine operations, routine operations."
Yun Jin blinked, "Senior doesn't know, but these ideas were all created by my Eldest Senior Brother."
Old Fire immediately looked at Yue Zhao in surprise.
Cold sweat almost dripped down Yue Zhao's back.
"Oh right, my Eldest Senior Brother's alias here is Ren Woxing. Everyone, don't say it wrong," Yun Jin added.
Yue Zhao: "..."
Previously, he wasn't sure whether Yun Jin understood this reference.
But now he's certain that she not only understood, she'd probably been secretly laughing at him for a long time.
Yue Zhao walked up to Yun Jin and squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, "Little Junior Sister, leave me some face."
Yun Jin's eyes curved in a smile, "Eldest Senior Brother, what's the problem? It's just routine operations."
Yue Zhao was starting to emotionally crumble.
He's also a bit depressed.
Little Junior Sister might've seen the Heart-Questioning Mirror, which was how she knew he had lived two lives.
But through the Heart-Questioning Mirror, she couldn't have also seen Smiling Proud Wanderer, right?
Yue Zhao suddenly had a strange feeling.
Could it be that Little Junior Sister… came from the same world as him?
Were the two of them fellow townsmen?
Yue Zhao looked at Yun Jin with a probing gaze.
Yun Jin had no intention of confessing anything to Yue Zhao.
Just let Eldest Senior Brother keep guessing.
Hehehe.
Yue Zhao led the group to sit in a private room at an inn, then called someone to report on then event from the past few days.
"President Ren, recently there have indeed been some strange occurrences," the person said.
President Ren…
Yun Jin glanced at him.
Yue Zhao became even more embarrassed.
He just thought this form of address sounded smoother!
Now…
Embarrassing, embarrassing, too embarrassing.
Yue Zhao coughed lightly, "Just get straight to the point."
The person hurriedly said, "Starting these past few days, some strange people have appeared in the marketplace. They often get into fights for no reason, Pavilion Master Chen and the others have been quite troubled. They have punished them several times and even imprisoned them. Strangely, these people are locked up during the day but disappear at night. The next day, a different group comes to cause trouble again."
"The strange part is that they seem to have no purpose in doing this. Normally, people who cause trouble have some reason, right? A dispute? Running into trouble? These people have none of that. Their purpose seems to be just to come here and fight. Moreover, although the marketplace prison isn't extremely secure, it's not somewhere just anyone can freely enter and exit. Yet these people always disappear without a trace. There's likely some hidden secret behind this."
"Pavilion Master Chen and the others are also worried that these people's strange behavior might be related to demonic cultivators. But after using various methods to investigate, they haven't found any abnormalities. They appear to be orthodox cultivators, and in these past few days, they haven't caused any substantial harm. Perhaps they just… find it entertaining?"
As the person spoke, even he thought it sounded absurd.
Who would deliberately fight just for fun, get themselves arrested, undergo inspection inside and out, and even if they had a way to escape afterward, what would they gain?
"That is indeed quite strange." Yue Zhao frowned. "Anything else?"
The person said, "Besides that, there's the matter of rogue cultivators going missing. Originally, there were several sects nearby. Even if one couldn't join a sect, rogue cultivators living nearby would have much lower risks. In places without sect protection, it's normal for rogue cultivators to go missing or encounter misfortune. Recently, in our area, some rogue cultivators have also gone missing, but the number isn't large. I'm not sure whether this counts as something unusual."
Yue Zhao neither confirmed nor denied, "Anything else?"
The person shook his head, indicating that there's nothing more.
Yue Zhao then waved his hand to dismiss him.
Seeing Yun Jin's thoughtful expression, Yue Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Little Junior Sister, have you discovered something?"
Yun Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I was just thinking. Those troublemakers, their process is like this: cause trouble, get arrested, get investigated, then escape. The next time, a different group comes. Let's first assume they aren't simply bored. Then, if they hadn't achieved their purpose, they should return a second or third time. But your subordinate said that a new group appears the next day. This shows that the first group has already achieved their purpose."
Achieved their purpose?
Being arrested counts as a purpose?
Yue Zhao and the others were all stunned.
Yun Jin said slowly, "They want to be arrested to be investigated. They want to confirm something."
"What do they want to confirm?"
Yun Jin said calmly, "To confirm that their aura is indeed flawless."
