Chapter 669: Demons in the Western Regions

Ma Rong was obviously not worried about the safety of the demon spirit.

He looked into the distance and said calmly:

"Even if he is discovered, he will be seriously injured at most, but he will definitely not die."

"Besides, with his ability, he might be able to take hostages and escape."

A trace of worry flashed across Wu Yanhao's eyes.

This magic spirit was given to him by Li Cunxi. If he can't take the magic spirit back alive, how can he have the nerve to show up in front of Li Cunxi in the future.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Yanhao asked:

"Which tribe is the demon spirit in now?"

Ma Rong recalled carefully, and then said:

"He is probably in the Shuofeng Tribe. The last time he wrote to us, he said that he was going to follow Xiaotao and Wei'er to the Shuofeng Tribe. Calculating the time, he must have arrived by now."

Wu Yanhao nodded heavily and made up his mind.

"The next tribe to be massacred will be the Shuofeng tribe!"

"Let's go rescue the demon!"

……

The operation to rescue the evil spirits has not yet begun, and it will take a considerable amount of time to wipe out the Shuofeng tribe.

Therefore, in Wu Yanhao's opinion, the situation of the demon spirit is quite dangerous.

On the other side, in a desert 200 miles away from the battlefield of both armies, the Shufeng tribe lived together and their tents were randomly placed.

In the largest tent, Xiao Tao and the chief of the Shuofeng tribe looked at each other.

"Recently, various tribes have been at war with the Great Zhou, and a lot of things have happened. I think I need to tell you about it."

The chief of the Shuofeng tribe picked up a bowl of mare's milk and glanced at Wei'er and Mo Ling below.

"After the war began, the troops of each tribe were revealed to the army of Da Zhou, and the location of each tribe was also known to the army of Da Zhou."

"In less than a month, the Great Zhou army has massacred eight tribes."

"If I'm not mistaken, today we will learn another piece of bad news. Our brother tribe, the Yanyu tribe, was massacred by the Great Zhou army."

"However, our location and the number of our troops are absolutely a secret to the Great Zhou army."

"And how did they know that?"

Now that things have come to this, Xiao Tao naturally understood what this meant.

Isn't this saying that there is a spy among the people Xiaotao brought with her?

However, the two people she brought with her had an irreconcilable feud with the Great Zhou, so how could they be spies?

"I understand what you mean, but my people would never do that."

Xiao Tao spoke righteously, stiffening her neck.

The chief of the Shuofeng tribe was very patient. He slowly drank a sip of the warm mare's milk and wiped his mouth.

His eyes casually glanced at the demon spirit.

"Black King, there must be a spy among your followers."

"And based on my feeling, I judge that the ordinary-looking man must be the traitor."

The demon spirit who was eating and drinking heartily raised his head and glanced at the chief of the Shuofeng tribe. Then he lowered his head and put the roasted lamb leg to his mouth and bit it.

Xiao Tao remained calm and said, "Brother Mo Lin saved me from danger many times for the sake of his wish."

"It can be said that without Brother Mo Lin, I wouldn't even be able to reach the Western Regions, let alone sit with you."

"I would rather believe that I am the spy who is secretly communicating with the Great Zhou army than believe that Brother Mo Lin is the spy."

After Xiaotao said this, the chief of the Shufeng tribe had nothing more to say.

However, with the excellent perception of an old hunter, he still felt that there was a spy among Xiaotao's group of three.

If he didn't think Xiaotao had some reputation in Liangzhou and could take charge of Liangzhou through Xiaotao, he would have definitely killed Xiaotao and the other two at this moment, completely cutting off the possibility of the spy providing information to the Great Zhou army.

"Black King, since you said so, I have no choice but to trust you."

After drinking the mare's milk, the old patriarch stood up shakily.

"There will be a banquet tonight. I will ask someone to invite the three of you to attend."

Xiao Tao stood up and cupped her hands, "In the midst of a war, holding a banquet, will it be possible..."

"It doesn't matter. You have to relax a little. If you keep it too tight, they won't be able to bear it."

The old patriarch walked out slowly, his expression changing from calm to cold.

After leaving the tent, a figure hurried forward.

"Clan leader."

"Go and invite all the clan leaders over. We will discuss the current war tonight."

"I understand, I'll go right away."

"Wait... remember to tell them that Shuofeng and Yan have discovered a spy around the Black-Cloaked Heavenly King. Ask them to bring their men over so that we can get rid of the spy together."

"Yes."

The old patriarch squinted his eyes and looked towards the north, revealing a grim smile.

Being able to climb to the position of chief in such a tribe where the law of the jungle prevails, he is definitely not a good person.

After the news of the massacre of the eight tribes spread, people in each tribe were in a panic. Many tribal leaders had guessed that someone must have secretly acted as a spy and informed the Zhou army of the location and strength of each tribe.

After Shuofeng and Yan inquired in detail about Xiaotao, Wei'er and Moling, they finally determined that the identity of the spy was Moling.

The reason is simple, Xiao Tao and Wei'er are together, and the hatred between them and Da Zhou can be traced back a hundred years ago.

On the contrary, the story behind the evil spirit does not stand up to scrutiny at all.

Of course, even if Shuofeng and Yan guessed the identity of Mo Ling, they could not kill Mo Ling directly. After all, Xiaotao and Wei'er both regarded Mo Ling as one of their own.

If he killed the evil spirit rashly, it would be hard to say whether Xiaotao and Wei'er would help his Shufeng tribe in the future. Shufeng and Yan would not be willing to let them help.

and so……

The role of other tribes comes into play at this moment.

As long as everyone was convinced that the demon spirit was a spy, they all attacked together to kill the demon spirit, and Xiao Tao and Wei'er had no choice but to accept it.

"The tribe's army has suffered heavy losses. Black King, please don't blame me."

"You can only blame yourself for being blind."

Shufeng and Yan put away their thoughts and walked towards their tents.

After the old man left, Wei'er, who was quick-witted, put down the hot milk in her hand, stood up and sat down next to Xiaotao.

She leaned sideways, leaned close to Xiaotao's ear, and whispered:

"From what Shuofeng and Yan said, I'm afraid they are going to harm Mo Lin."

"Molin is our savior, what should we do?"

Xiaotao shook her head and sighed softly.

The chiefs of these tribes are all shrewd people. As long as Shufeng and Yan say that Mo Lin might be a spy, the other chiefs will be willing to kill the evil spirit as a sacrifice after knowing it, even if it is just to boost the morale of the army.

As for whether the demon spirit is a spy or not, it doesn’t really matter.

As long as someone thinks he is a spy, that's enough.

"No, we can't do this." Wei'er stood up, gritting her teeth.
