One had to know that the biggest difference between a demonic sect and a righteous sect was that the demonic sect's cultivation method was to sacrifice others to satisfy their own interests.
But generally speaking, when they acted or attacked, it was mostly targeted at cultivators.
Ordinary people weren't of much help to the demonic sect. But these young women were all ordinary people.
"Oh, the others actually captured so many of them." Other than the disciples guarding the nest, there was no one else. Therefore, when the brawny man saw these young women, his smile was so wide that his face was almost rotten.
Of course, Su Chen could feel that the brawny man was not jealous of the other members catching these girls, but he had other kinds of joy.
When the brawny man saw these women, he obviously did not care about Su Chen anymore. Instead, he called out to the others, "Let's bring these people back first."
As he spoke, he placed the cages next to the lair on the horse carriage.
Su Chen also joined in to help them. In a short while, they placed all the cages on the horse carriage. Then, the brawny man took the lead. The others followed behind him and changed directions, continuing their journey.
During this period, Su Chen did not say a word and followed closely behind the brawny man.
"Brother Wang, I've been away from the sect for a long time. What's wrong with these women?" Finally, when he saw that the brawny man in the lead looked tired, Su Chen went up and asked.
The brawny man's surname was Wang. At this time, he did not think about it carefully. He was already quite tired. In addition, Su Chen had saved him previously and helped them with their work. The brawny man had long treated Su Chen as one of his own people.
"Maybe you left early and really didn't know about this. During this period of time, our patriarch is about to undergo the tribulation. You know how extraordinary the cultivation technique our patriarch practices is, right? He needs to dual cultivate with a young girl in order to advance."
Hearing that he needed to dual cultivate with a young girl, Su Chen's ears perked up. He had only read about such a disgusting cultivation technique in a novel in his previous life. He didn't expect that there would be such a beast in this world.
The brawny man surnamed Wang continued, "It is precisely because our patriarch needs to constantly absorb Yin Qi that we have to suffer. We have to constantly collect these women for our patriarch."
"I remember that our sect is quite far from the Immortal Selection Sect. Why are we all here?"
This was also the doubt in Su Chen's heart.
"You know nothing about the power of our patriarch." The brawny man Wang showed a disdainful look. "Our patriarch absorbs Yin Qi. Do you think one or two women are enough? We have captured all the people near the sect. So, we can only be sent out here. Speaking of which, we were unlucky. We went to the Immortal Selection Sect to investigate the situation, but we were discovered."
Su Chen was shocked. What kind of cultivation technique did this patriarch cultivate? He needed so many people.
"Then didn't the other righteous sects join forces to attack us?"
Su Chen was serious now. If they really did as the brawny man Wang said and captured ordinary people as sacrifices for cultivation, the other disciples from righteous sects would have already attacked the demonic sect. Why did they still allow the demonic sect to continue expanding their hunting grounds?
The brawny man Wang continued to look disdainful. If he was still sober at this time, he might have already realized that something was wrong. However, it was precisely because he had been too tired for the day that his guard was lowered a lot. He simply poured everything out at once.
"With so many sects out there, do those righteous sect disciples know where we are hiding? Even if they found us, they won't be able to enter without a secret token. Our secret spell formation is not a joke. If those righteous faction disciples were to attack rashly, our formation would have retaliated long ago and killed them completely."
This time, Su Chen completely understood.
It could even be said that he already knew everything.
It was precisely because the demonic faction had a protective formation. That was why the righteous faction did not dare to attack rashly.
Just like how the demonic sect had placed spies in the righteous faction, the righteous faction would also place some spies in the demonic sect.
The righteous faction must be waiting for the spies to find a way to destroy the formation, or they must be holding a secret token to enter the formation. Only when everything was ready would the righteous faction gather their forces to counterattack the demonic sect.
Liu Qing must have connections with other righteous factions, so she knew that the demonic sect had already expanded their influence to the vicinity of their sect. That was why Liu Qing sent Liu Yue to eliminate them.
With Liu Qing's cultivation level, if he really took these demonic sect disciples away, it would be easy for Liu Qing to find him. But Liu Qing did not come looking for him, so she must have full trust in him. Perhaps in Liu Qing's heart, he had sneaked into the demonic sect to give the righteous faction a plan to counterattack.
"No wonder my journey was so smooth. It turns out that Liu Qing, that woman, has already thought of everything," Su Chen muttered in his heart.
Then what could he do now? He had already come this far, so he could only continue to act.
He didn't know how long he had been following the convoy. Finally, Su Chen saw the brawny man Wang stop outside a valley.
"Alright, Brother Su Chen, we'll go back first. You can continue with your mission."
"???" Su Chen was dumbfounded. Now that he had arrived at the demonic sect's headquarters, what mission could he have if he didn't go in?
Looking at Su Chen's dumbfounded expression, the brawny man Wang explained, "Each of us has our own mission when we leave the sect. Have you completed your mission? I saw that you were only escorting us along the way."
What mission do I even have? Su Chen was shocked. He also wanted a mission to get close to the saintess and conquer her, but could he say it out loud? If he really said it out loud, then he might as well run around naked.
After all, the common point of these two things was that only idiots would do it.
"Have you ever considered that I might be a spy?" Su Chen pondered for two seconds and then said.
"I have considered it." The brawny man Wang nodded and answered with a serious face, "But when we asked you at that time, you didn't admit it."
Su Chen was now filled with doubt. What kind of idiot was this? He didn't admit it, but the problem was that he didn't deny it either.
Su Chen took a deep breath. "But I didn't deny it either, did I?"
"Yes." The brawny man Wang nodded. "But you really didn't admit it."
"Phew." Su Chen let out a long breath, he didn't want himself to curse. "Alright, then I admit it now. I'm a spy. Because I saved you, my identity was exposed. I can't complete my mission now. I have to return to the sect to report back."
These words were practically spoken word by word by Su Chen. He felt very tired now.
"Oh, you should have said that you were a spy." The brawny man Wang laughed loudly.
"Then let's go back together." Su Chen rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything more.
"Okay, let me see your undercover token." The brawny man Wang laughed heartily and stretched out his hand.
"What are you going on about? Why does a spy need a token?" Su Chen roared in his heart.
