Soon, Xiao Qingqing came to Shi Ling and said, "The villagers have already been gathered!"
Shi Ling turned his head and looked at her. Then, he nodded and said: "Got it, let's go!"
Xiao Qingqing followed behind Shi Ling. Very soon, Shi Ling saw that in the center of the empty space in the cave, it was filled with people. They all revealed puzzled expressions, not knowing what Shi Ling wanted by calling them over.
Shi Ling came to the middle of these people and jumped onto a giant rock. He raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then the noisy environment suddenly quieted down. Shi Ling said softly: "We called everyone to gather this time, but there are some small matters that need to be handled, so you all don't have to be too nervous. It's okay, it will end very soon!"
At this time, a voice resounded, and said: "Is it related to our failed attack on Evil Ghost Cult?"
When the voice sounded, Shi Ling laughed lightly and said, "I didn't say that. If you think so, then I have no other choice!"
After saying that, Shi Ling shrugged his shoulders, making the surrounding villagers smile, and then said in a clear voice: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The reason I called you here is to check your physical fitness, to determine if you can take the Strength Restoring Pellet later! If possible, I will give each of you one more pill. If not, then you can only refine other pills!
When all the villagers heard this, they showed an expression of understanding, and some of them let out a long "oh". Shi Ling chuckled and continued, "Therefore, when you have lined up and come to me one by one, I will check them one by one!" Everyone's coming, you know? "
The villagers nodded in agreement. Then, Shi Ling jumped down from the giant rock and sat on a rock the size of a bucket. The villagers lined up. Soon, a team of more than four thousand people formed.
Shi Ling immediately released his Floral Pupil and scanned these people. Right now, Shi Ling wanted to prevent someone from sneaking away.
After that, Shi Ling's gaze fell on the first person in front of him. First, he touched his temple with a finger to let Xiao Bai's mana seep into his brain. Soon, Shi Ling read through his memories of the last three days.
After confirming that it wasn't this person, he waved his hand at him and said, "Those that have been inspected, go to that open area and stay there!"
That person nodded and then walked towards Shi Ling and pointed at the empty space. Xiao Qingqing, who was beside Shi Ling, sat down, but her eyes swept over these people. What she needed to do now was to make sure that the scene wasn't messy and that everyone could check it!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed, there were already close to two thousand people Shi Ling who had checked, but he still could not find the traitor. Shi Ling and Xiao Qingqing's expression became ugly, especially Shi Ling, who was still wondering if his judgement was wrong.
Then, it was Shi Ling's turn to have a shifty look in front of him. He bowed and smiled at Shi Ling, a form of courtesy towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling merely nodded at this. However, when he saw that person, Xiao Qingqing frowned.
Shi Ling reached out his hand to point at the shifty servant's forehead, but after sensing the mana fluctuation, he turned his head away and said uncertainly: "Um, my lord, didn't you say that you were only checking our physical fitness? But what are you doing? "
Seeing this guy's reaction, Shi Ling revealed a smile that was hard to detect. He said, "Yeah, this was originally meant to check your body. If my mana doesn't seep into your body, how can I do a comprehensive check?"
When the person heard this, he couldn't help but take a step back. A drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead as he said, "I-I don't think I need it anymore. My physical fitness is pretty good, there's no need to check!"
At this moment, Shi Ling stood up, and revealed an evil smile: "So what if we check it? What are you afraid of? "
That person's pupils slightly constricted and his body fiercely jumped backwards. When Shi Ling saw this, he laughed evilly and said: "You came here and you still want to run?!"
With that, Shi Ling grabbed with his large hand and an extremely strong mana was absorbed out of his body. As for the boy who jumped out, he had a terrified expression on his face because he could feel a huge suction force coming from his body. In the next moment, his body flew back.
Shi Ling caught it in his hand and pressed it to the ground. He then pressed a finger to Shi Ling's forehead and read all his memories from the past few days!
When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, they were all stunned. Soon after, someone asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Ling had already grabbed the servant's neck and lifted him up high. With a dark expression, he growled: "Our plan to attack Evil Ghost Cult was revealed by you!"
After that, they looked at the attendant with a face full of anger. However, that attendant started to laugh out loud, and it seemed that he did not feel panicked because he was exposed by Shi Ling. On the contrary, he seemed to be very happy!
Immediately, he roared: "All of you, die!"
When Shi Ling saw this, his pupils suddenly constricted and he suddenly exerted force in his hand. He threw this guy's body out of the cave, and the next moment, he heard a loud bang. That bastard actually self-detonated!
At this time, all of the villagers walked out. They looked at the servants who had turned into ashes with complicated expressions on their faces.
However, Shi Ling said: "The remaining people should continue to inspect!"
Everyone obediently went back. However, they now knew Shi Ling's purpose for checking them out. What physical examination? That was just a cover. The purpose was to scare the real traitor.
After that, Shi Ling checked everyone's memories to make sure there were no more spies.
However, Shi Ling still had to face the fatal problem, and that was what should he do when it was noon tomorrow. Should he bring the remaining people here to fight against the Evil Ghost Cult and Zhang Family experts head-on, or should he stay put?
Shi Ling immediately stood at the entrance of the cave and started to frown in thought. Then, at this moment, Shi Ling's communication conch vibrated. Shi Ling was stunned for a moment and wondered who would send him a message at this time?
When Shi Ling took out the communication conch, he realized that it was Wang Chuan's seal. When Shi Ling saw this, he revealed a puzzled expression and muttered: "Wang Chuan? Why is that guy looking for me? I don't think I've had anything to do with him since the last time I participated in the sect disciple test, right? Even during his previous promotion to the Earth Extreme Academy, he did not interact much with him? "
Thinking of this, Shi Ling permeated his mana and communicated with Wang Chuan.
After all, Wang Chuan was the son of the Talisman Refining Hall's hall master, so as a Spirit Sword Sect disciple, Shi Ling more or less had to give him some face, didn't he? Furthermore, Liu Tie, Loong Yang, and the others had encountered a powerful Flame Serpent while harvesting Cloud Grass. If it weren't for Wang Chuan's words about their weakness, Liu Tie, Loong Yang, and the others would not have been able to defeat them, let alone enter the second round of the competition.
Thinking about this, Shi Ling quickly communicated with Wang Chuan.
Shi Ling: "Brother Wang Chuan, I haven't seen you in a while. How come you suddenly contacted me?"
Wang Chuan: "Where are you now?"
Shi Ling frowned slightly. His face revealed a trace of suspicion, but he still asked: "Is something the matter?"
Wang Chuan: "I have something to talk to you about!"
Shi Ling: "Can't you just say it directly if you have something to say?"
Wang Chuan was silent for a while as if he was thinking about whether he should talk to Shi Ling. Shi Ling didn't rush him and just waited. Soon, he replied, "I know you are in trouble!"
Shi Ling squinted his eyes and replied: "What are you trying to say?"
Wang Chuan: "I can lend you five Bone Melting Stage experts!"
Shi Ling's pupils shrank when he heard that: "Why are you helping me?"
Wang Chuan: "Because I need you to do something for me!"
Shi Ling: "What is it?"
