"Wang Qiaoqiao, what are you doing?"

When Song Zhou, who was not far away, saw this, he was stunned at first, then shouted angrily, and rushed over reaching out to try and grab his love away from the clutch of the evil grasp.

He and Qin Qing are a couple, and everyone knows their relationship as a couple, to harm her was to harm him!

At this moment, Song Zhou saw that Qin Qing was restrained by Wang Qiaoqiao, how could he sit back and watch. Qi and Blood coated his arms instantly as he was quick to rescue her from their ‘fellow’ disciple.

"Song Zhou, don't act rashly."

Old Man Hu waved his hand indifferently, his gaze not leaving the frame of the imposter disciple.

Song Zhou stopped abruptly and looked at Old Man Hu, Qin Qing, and Wang Qiaoqiao, with inexplicable anger and confusion on his face, unable to figure out why Wang Qiaoqiao was coercing Qin Qing and why they all seemed to know and were prepared.

He clenched his fists after staring closely at each of their faces and the ‘imposter’ disciple.

He slowly backed up, but his worried gaze never left Qin Qing whose pleading eyes were looking at all parties involved, not daring to breathe as her captor's fingers were deep in her throat.

Old Man Hu stared at Wang Qiaoqiao: "Let her go."

Wang Qiaoqiao snorted coldly and said, "If you let me go first, I will let her go."

"Delusional!"

Xun Xie shouted angrily, with a big red saber in his hand, approaching Wang Qiaoqiao.

"Ask the sword in my hand if you can leave here today!"

Wang Qiaoqiao's body changed suddenly.

Like a skinwalker, her skin bubbled like water folding in on itself and expanding like a chemical reaction was taking place with just her skin.

They saw that her two eyes suddenly enlarged, her pupils shone and turned silver, her ears extended to look like fins, and her scattered hair squirmed and turned into octopus tentacles, and a layer of octopus mucus appeared on her body.

This situation made all the apprentices shudder.

"Monster!"

Someone screamed in horror, scaring the people around them to back away subconsciously.

Wang Qiaoqiao's arms were also slowly wriggling and changing, turning into tentacles that were about ten feet long.

The surface had evenly spread mucus and pimples, densely packed, covered with disgusting patches of thicker mucus, and looked extremely penetrating.

A roll of tentacles! Many rolls!

Wrapping around Qin Qing's neck!

Wang Qiaoqiao lifted Qin Qing effortlessly, causing Qin Qing to struggle with her feet off the ground kicking heartily.

Seeing this situation.

Xun Xie stopped in his tracks lowering his raised saber.

Old Man Hu said with a heavy expression: "Okay, I'll let you go. Come on, open the door."

Huang Yi and the others, whose legs were a little weak, hurried to open the door. A few tripped and got up nervously.

Wang Qiaoqiao took Qin Qing back step by step, backed to the gate, suddenly smiled coldly, and threw Qin Qing up into the sky.

Almost at the same time, Wang Qiaoqiao spit out a cloud of black smoke, which quickly spread and filled several meters. Square.

Xun Xie jumped up and caught Qin Qing simultaneously using the first move of the Nine Tigers Broken Door Saber to attack the demon escaping but unfortunately, his moves met only air.

Old Man Hu and Leng Mingyuan waved their sleeves at the same time flashing with subtle glows and used their Tendon-level strength to disperse the black smoke.

Huhuhu~

In less than two breaths, the black smoke dissipated, and the vision became clear again.

However, at this time Wang Qiaoqiao had disappeared and disappeared without a trace.

Xun Xie put down Qin Qing and looked at her. She was fine, but her neck was strangled and turned three colors red, black, and blue.

"The demon ran away, what should we do?"

"Yeah, the demon can become Wang Qiaoqiao, and it can also become someone else, it's too scary!"

Some apprentices had naturally gone out with Old Man Hu before and knew of the dangers of the outside world naturally they knew the true nature of demons.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

All the apprentices are in danger!

Xun Xie was calm, walked over to Old Man Hu and Leng Mingyuan, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Mr. Song's plan is more successful than he imagined. His second and third plans are unnecessary."

Old Man Hu nodded and smiled: "As expected of Old Song but better to be prepared than not. Now that the demon thinks she escaped, but she doesn’t know that we let her go on purpose. Even if she doesn't coerce Qin Qing, we will still let her go. Her actions helped push things in our intended direction."

Leng Mingyuan smiled knowingly: "Throwing stones to ask for directions, to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, as expected of Mr. Song, he has an unparalleled plan!"

The teachers were all short-sighted and wanted to kill the demons immediately to get it over with but Mr Song saw the problem at once, not only could they eliminate the root but they could also earn extra credit!

…

At the same time, to the south.

Fang Lu called all the apprentices into the hall, closed the door, lit the incense burner, and burned a strange incense.

For a time, the room was filled with smoke.

"Old Fang, what kind of fragrance is this?" an apprentice asked.

Fang Lu said indifferently: "This kind of fragrance can make people restless, out of control, and almost crazy."

As soon as the words came out.

The apprentices were amazed.

Fang Lu revealed murderous intent, glanced at the apprentices, and said solemnly: "If there are demons lurking among you if you smell this strange fragrance, it will definitely reveal its true nature."

While there was no single tried and true method to reveal demons, it was easy to 'create' a situation where they had to appear.

This was one such method where human biology prevailed, with strengths basically below the fourth level of blood energy the disciples would react in a set manner to the fragrance as ordinary humans, the only difference was that variations in physiques might result in more or less symptoms.

But for demons? Hah, how could they imitate something and not know what result they should show?

The apprentices looked at each other, you look at me and I look at you.

One of them, with flashing eyes, silently retreated to the door seeing the coaches examine their reactions one by one, and suddenly as he was about to open the door and escape.

Right at this moment!

A figure flashed in vain in the slanting stab, and he handed out a sword incomparably fast. The sword light pierced the apprentice's throat, nailed it to the door, and blood splattered everywhere.

The person who drew the sword was the new coach. He cooperated with Fang Lu to kill the demon and succeeded in one fell swoop.

The apprentice who was nailed to the door panel mutated a little, turning into a monster with black hair and horns on its head.

…

Feng Mansion.

The same scene was also being staged. Jin Xicheng and another coach joined forces to kill a demon.

Elsewhere,

Lin Qingyu had the most apprentices. Using the same method, he found three demons hidden among the apprentices.

Lin Qingyu teamed up with another coach, killed two of them, and seriously injured the last monster, but still let it escape.

The two were in hot pursuit.

…

Wang Qiaoqiao walked across the street.

At this moment, she has become a peasant woman with a dark complexion and thick hands, an unremarkable person.

She walked all the way to the end of the deep alley, looked left and right, and confirmed that no one was following her, so she knocked on a red lacquer door and then walked into the courtyard of an ordinary family.

"Why did you suddenly come back and change your appearance?"

In the courtyard, there was a burly man in a black robe and a bushy beard. His eyes fell on Wang Qiaoqiao and he asked with a frown.

"I was exposed..."

Wang Qiaoqiao explained everything about what happened, and finally said, "That's the way it is. The idiot 'Lin Kang' failed to assassinate Xun Xie, and he was killed by Xun Xie instead."

"Oh, I didn't expect that Xun Xie to survive?!"

The black-robed man's face sank, "Xun Xie survived, and will surely alert Mr. Song, it is not difficult to analyze that the murderers of Du Shisan and others are also demons, so they will definitely investigate. Including you, other lurking monsters are in danger."

The black-robed man gritted his teeth, "As a result, my plan can no longer go ahead and has failed."

Wang Qiaoqiao nodded and sighed: "Yes, according to your plan, Mr. Song and the others should not know who killed Xun Xie and others. When they were unable to mobilize their personnel to investigate the murder case, we took the opportunity to create chaos, poisoning, killing, and setting fires, destroy the fertile fields, and destroy this granary in one fell swoop. Such a good plan, huh, it's a pity."

The black-robed man said speechlessly, "Why do you have to be sarcastic? You thought this plan of mine was foolproof, didn't you? Who would have expected that 'Lin Kang' was so incompetent that Xun Xie would actually kill him."

The man in black robes was actually similarly ranked or on the same level as the rest.

Their actual leader was stopped at the outer perimeter by one of the Black Cloud family’s watchdog 'pillars'. A few within their ranks were killed then.

They had unfortunately run into them on the journey, and he stayed behind to fight, nevertheless, they still had to complete the mission, so he stepped up to the position of leader and proposed a plan which all agreed to.

Fortunately, they made it to their destination without issue as they were intercepted a distance away and the enemy couldn’t tell which granary they were headed to.

‘If only the leader hadn’t died we wouldn’t have been so passive or if the fool had told us the original plan to begin with instead of keeping us in the dark with eyes on top of his head!’ The man inwardly gritted his teeth.

Serves him right to die.

Although they hadn’t seen a body that was probably the case as they were in enemy territory and there were demons on the other side as well, even then their normal advantages wouldn’t work against the martial arts masters of the Black Cloud noble family.

As verifiable noble families, their bloodline was thousands of years old and pure, completely fitted to their martial art and they had several techniques to fully bring out its potential furthermore as a family specialized in weapons this further enhanced their lethality against foes even those such as they with high defenses and regenerative capabilities.

Just the famed ‘Black Cloud Poison’ from the Black Cloud family’s Arsenal of Six (6) feared by all was enough to pose a huge threat to them as demons.

The man’s lament and dislike for their deceased superior was broken by his peer.

Wang Qiaoqiao: "This is the end, it's useless to talk about it, what should we do next? If the task is not completed, the Cresent Boar family will definitely punish you heavily, and I'm afraid even I will suffer with you. Alas, as long as the task can be completed, I will If you can get the reward of a thousand people, you will not have to worry about food for the next few years.”

The black-robed man frowned and thought. Suddenly, he thought of something. He stared at Wang Qiaoqiao and asked, "You said just now that you escaped from Hu Piao and Xun Xie?"

Wang Qiaoqiao: "Yes, I took a hostage and coerced them, and then I escaped."

The black-robed man paced back and forth, turned around abruptly, and said solemnly, "No..."

Wang Qiaoqiao: "What's wrong?"

The man in the black robe: "Hu Piao once had a pair of sons and daughters who were eaten by demons. He hates demons to his very core. Even if he killed the apprentice by mistake, he would not spare any of you."

Wang Qiaoqiao's face changed: "What do you mean?"
