Chapter 62: Doubts (Seeking follow-up reading)
The war between the Kingdom of Yue and the Six Demonic Sects lasted for a year without anyone noticing. The two sides, from the Nascent Soul stage to the Qi Training stage, fought each other countless times.

In terms of winning or losing, the six sects of the Demonic Path won more, while the six sects of the Yue Kingdom won less.

Moreover, when they reach the Nascent Soul stage, those old ancestors cherish their lives, and the two sides have made an agreement that those in the Nascent Soul stage should not act rashly.

Just let the younger generations fight, and their life or death depends on their own abilities.

Qi Yuan lived in the rear and had more time to practice. Half a year ago, he broke through to the middle stage of foundation building with the help of Tianyuan Pill and dual cultivation.

It was just the finishing touch, and now it's a natural progression.

The power of the Taoist magic gradually exerted its unique charm over the course of a year.

Not only did she make Dong Xuan'er and Chen Qiaoqian act like brides every night, but she also always had a sweet smile on her face.

Even Nangong Wan couldn't help but come to meet him secretly every now and then, making Qi Yuan's days of practice sweet and smooth.

I almost had the illusion that I was no longer in the mortal world full of intrigue and deception.

During this period, with the help of the yin and yang energies, he produced twelve poisonous dragon swords, forty or fifty intermediate talismans, and seventy or eighty heavenly thunder seeds.

By the way, he also cultivated five thousand-year-old elixirs as backup, so that he could sell them for profit when the time was right.

As for the several nearly five hundred year old spiritual medicines that Tian Buque had, they were secretly taken away by Nangong Wan, and Qi Yuan only found out about it later.

This kind of dissatisfaction can only be whipped back hard on the bed.

He took the Soul Gathering Pills and Qi Refining Powder as meals every day, and developed drug resistance. He divided the remaining thirty or so bottles of pills among Dong Xuan'er and Chen Qiaoqian, leaving only a few bottles for Han Yunzhi.

Speaking of Han Yunzhi, there was news recently that she had successfully established her foundation and was waiting to be brought into Huangfeng Valley by Qi Yuan.

Chen Qiaoqian's elder brother also managed to establish his foundation thanks to the foundation-building pill given by Qi Yuan.

Not only did Han Yunzhi's affairs need to be dealt with, but Xiaomei, who was far away in Yuanwu Country, also sent a letter.

Recently, there have been people wandering around the nameless hill, seemingly monitoring them.

Did the Yuanwu Chen family withdraw their efforts?

Qi Yuan deduced in his mind.

Come to think of it, after a year, I should have time to catch my breath and free up my hands to deal with Xin Ruyin's grudge.

The lazy afternoon sun poured into the hall, lengthening Qi Yuan's shadow.

At this time, a disciple from the Six Sects came in to report, and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Qi, the logistics team we sent to the front line a few days ago was ambushed by the evil thieves. Not only did we lose resources, but we also lost manpower. Do you think we should ask the Jindan stage uncle to solve the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan stood up, took the letter, and immediately opened it to read. A hint of anger gathered on his face. For some reason, over the past three months, the team sent out from his logistics point had repeatedly suffered precise attacks from the enemy.

He was often scolded for this, and his subordinates looked down on him.

Qi Yuan also knew what the disciple from the Six Sects was thinking. He wanted to use Hong Fu's strength to defeat the evil cultivators who were guerrilla warfare in Yue State and reduce the danger to his own life.

But those in the Jindan stage are important defensive forces, how can they leave their positions easily?

Even Nangong Wan has been running less recently, so how could Qi Yuan not know the dangers ahead?

Moreover, this logistics point might have been drilled by the magic sect, and someone might be secretly passing on information...

"I understand this matter. Please ask fellow Taoists Ma and Lin to come over." The disciple from the six sects agreed, bowed and left.

After a while, two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building came into the room. One was a disciple of Tianque Fort, with a square face, named Ma Chen, and the other was a disciple of Jujianmen, with a thin build, named Lin Que.

The two of them and Qi Yuan were guarding the logistics point here.

Qi Yuan smiled when he saw the person coming and said, "I'm sure you two brothers have heard the news. This is the third time our team has been robbed this month. So far, we have transported supplies five times, but only twice they were intact. Do you have any good ideas?"

Ma Chen, a square-faced man, thought for a moment and said, "The demon cultivators who entered Yue State are good at hiding their auras and are vicious. For now, we should send more people to escort them."

"Haha, the ones who were robbed were all the teams arranged by Fellow Daoist Ma and I. There were no casualties among Fellow Daoist Qi's men?" Lin Que of the Giant Sword Sect showed sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chen looked at the young man in front of him with a little more scrutiny.

Qi Yuan looked around and said worriedly, "Brother Lin, you are wrong. Last month, our team from Huangfeng Valley was also robbed. I'm sure you two know Brother Yu Xin. He stayed with us for a while, but didn't he end up with his head missing?"

Lin Que's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, still showing dissatisfaction towards Qi Yuan in his eyes.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ma Chen said, "Fellow Daoist Lin didn't mean it. Junior Brother Qi, don't take it to heart. We should work together to get the supplies to the front line safely. Otherwise, if our respective sects blame us, it will be hard for everyone."

Qi Yuan glanced at Lin Que, then turned to Ma Chen and said softly, "Senior Brother Ma is right. I have decided to lead the team to transport the supplies and have a bloody battle with that demon monk."

Lin Que rarely showed a hint of joy, but then hid it.

Ma Chen immediately stood up straight and said in a serious tone: "Junior Brother Qi, you can't do that. Only you, me, and Fellow Daoist Lin can open the Three Talents Formation here. If one person is missing to preside over the formation, once the demon cultivators launch a surprise attack, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Fellow Daoist Qi, if you want to show off, you don't have to joke with our lives, right? If you have a reason to leave, and we are ambushed by the demonic cultivators, then you will be the winner in the end..."

Lin Que took a sip of the tea and said mercilessly.

Damn it, isn’t it just that he’s handsome and your partner is so attracted to him that he keeps flirting with you?
This is just sticking to the bottom line. As long as we haven't rolled onto the bed, there's nothing for you to worry about!

Qi Yuan sneered and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Lin suspects that I am secretly connected to the devil, why don't I bring Fellow Daoist Qiu with me so that he can be a witness?"

Lin Que's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He put the teacup down heavily, stood up and left.

Ma Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother Qi, why did you use Fellow Daoist Qiu to provoke him? Now, the man left before we could even finish discussing the matter."

"Even a clay man still has some temper. He can't control his Taoist partner. Who can he blame?" Qi Yuan said calmly.

Ma Chen sat up straight and said seriously, "But seriously, our logistics point has been targeted repeatedly, so we have to find a way to solve it."

"Senior Brother Ma, I suspect there's a spy." Qi Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chen also shuddered suddenly, raised his hand to reinforce the restrictions in the hall, and whispered: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Qi and I had the same idea. Last month, I secretly investigated the twenty or thirty people in the logistics point, and I already have some clues in my mind."

"Oh! Who does Senior Brother Ma suspect?" Qi Yuan looked at the other party curiously.

Ma Chen shook his head and said, "It has not been decided yet, but we will know who the spy is tonight. To ensure that everything is foolproof, I would like to ask Junior Brother Qi to go with us, and we can work together to catch the spy."

Does Ma Chen have talent in this area?

Qi Yuan also started to secretly investigate the details early on, but there is no clue at all so far.

He even secretly monitored Ma and Lin for a period of time, but when he found no signs, he gave up.
