Chapter 111: 111. Be Good,Take the Blame
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, the only one who was still safe among the senior experts of the Devil Cult’s Elder Faction was Great Elder Xie Chong himself.
He didn’t mind Chen Luoyang’s words.
However, the Great Elder of the Demonic Sect was frowning as he stared at Zhou Pancheng’s corpse, which was standing still like a statue.
“Brother Chai, it’s been hard on you and Guangyuan.”
First Elder Xie Chong said slowly.
“Understood. We’ll set off now.” Fourth Elder Chai Han had a complicated expression. After bowing to Chen Luoyang and Xie Chong, he left Ancient God Peak with Nie Guangyuan.
He was slightly worried about Chief Elder Xie Chong, but from the various signs, Cult Master didn’t seem to have any intention of taking the opportunity to make trouble, so Chai Han could only temporarily suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
At the same time, the Fourth Elder of the Demonic Sect was also very nervous.
Could it be that the Cult Master wasn’t taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents?
Zhou Pancheng, who had known each other for decades, had really colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the Divine Sect?
Both Xie Chong and Chai Han were feeling gloomy.
Even the Seventh Elder Shangguan Song, who had already secretly pledged allegiance to the Cult Master, had mixed feelings at this moment.
Chen Luoyang stood with his hands behind his back.
He looked nonchalant on the surface, but he had been observing carefully in secret.
When he mentioned Zhou Pancheng’s accomplices, he didn’t mean to purge the Elder Faction or simply to intimidate those who spoke up for Zhou Pancheng.
It was because there was indeed a traitor in the Demonic Sect!
Zhou Pancheng wasn’t the one who threw the Dual Polarity Celestial Stone and caused the Earth Fire to erupt beneath the Ancient God Peak.
The culprit was someone else.
In this matter, Zhou Pancheng had indeed been blamed by Chen Luoyang.
However, it was not wrong to say that Zhou Pancheng was a traitor.
The eruption of the Earth Fire at the Ancient God Peak had nothing to do with
him, but he had a part to play in other matters.
For example, Su Wei’s son, Little Su Yuan, had gone missing earlier because of this Sixth Elder!
Reading the information provided by the black pot, Chen Luoyang roughly understood Zhou Pancheng’s simple life experiences.
From the words, it could be seen that in the early years, because of some conflicts, the other party was dissatisfied with the previous cult leader, who was also the father of the current cult leader, “Demon Emperor” Chen Hanhai.
Later on, when the current sect master succeeded to the throne, he was removed from his position as the guardian of the Qian Prefecture branch and was promoted to the Senior Pavilion.
Perhaps it was because his accumulated dissatisfaction had finally exploded, Zhou Pancheng began to secretly communicate with the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhou Pancheng had a secret hideout on Yundang Mountain, 120 miles southeast of Ancient God Peak.
The last time he came into contact with the Xia Dynasty’s secret envoy was there.
Although Zhou Pancheng was the scapegoat for the fire, he was not wrongly accused of being a traitor.
Chen Luoyang felt it was a pity that he didn’t discover any other clues after reading through Zhou Pancheng’s life experiences. It wasn’t Zhou Pancheng who triggered the fire.
There were other spies in the Demonic Sect!
Few people in the cult knew about the secret of the Netherworld Sea Curse Seal on Little Su Yuan’s body. The elder faction and the younger faction were not on good terms, so Su Wei, Liu Si, and the others naturally had to be wary of elders like Zhou Pancheng.
It was very unlikely that Zhou Pancheng would be able to understand Little Su Yuan’s situation.
It was not that there was no chance, but it was too coincidental.
According to the description of his life experience, it was simply said that he had noticed it unintentionally.
However, Chen Luoyang was very suspicious of this.
He felt that someone else was keeping a lookout for Zhou Pancheng. However, this person was very cautious and did not let Zhou Pancheng find any clues.
If such a person really existed, could it be the same person who ignited the Earth Fire at the bottom of Ancient God Peak?
Chen Luoyang wasn’t just observing the Elder Faction. He was also observing the younger generation.
Unfortunately, Zhou Pancheng’s life experiences did not mention that he had come into contact with other traitors of the Demonic Sect.
Of course, he had developed his trusted subordinates to help the Great Xia Dynasty secretly bury spies.
However, they were all small fish and shrimps in the middle and lower levels.
There was no big fish like him.
The Demonic Sect would naturally clean up those small characters.
However, leaking Little Su Yuan’s secret and releasing the Dual Polarity Celestial Stone to detonate the Earth Fire Lava was not something an ordinary person could do. It must have been someone else among the higher-ups of the Demon Cult other than Zhou Pancheng.
It seemed impossible for the other party to lure the snake out of its hole through Zhou Pancheng.
Thus, Chen Luoyang decided to alert the enemy and execute Zhou Pancheng in front of everyone.
From the looks of it, nothing unusual had been discovered.
As for Grand Elder Xie Chong, Chen Luoyang actually didn’t doubt him.
Unlike most of the other elders in the Pavilion of Elders, whose interests had suffered because of the Cult Master.
But First Elder Xie Chong was different.
According to the information that Chen Luoyang had obtained from reading the various intelligence reports within the Demon Cult, the Great Elder had been in a semi-reclusive state for more than 20 years. He didn’t care about worldly affairs and focused on his cultivation.
Whoever became the sect master didn’t have much of an impact on him.
The main reason why he had a hostile relationship with the cult master was because of the conflict of ideas. He couldn’t stand the current cult master’s bold and radical expansion.
As one of the backbones of the Elder Faction, he intended to restrict the overly radical steps of the Cult Master, step on the brakes for this young Cult Master, or even go against the Cult Master.
However, there was almost no motive to say that he colluded with foreign enemies to subvert the entire Demon Sect.
Unless there was something else.
However, based on the current situation that Chen Luoyang grasped, the suspicion was very small.
Thus, Chen Luoyang’s target wasn’t him from the very beginning.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that Patriarch Chen only had three moves.
Grand Elder Xie Chong was also injured, and his strength was not at his peak.
However, if he could withstand three moves and not be taken down, a certain someone would be dumbfounded.
Even if the Great Elder fell in the fourth move, Chen Luoyang could only stare helplessly.
Suppressing the Demon Sect’s Great Elder like this was the best outcome.
However, he still had to be careful.
“Gathering the power of the entire sect to suppress the earth fire and allowing the enemy to wreak havoc, is this your idea, First Elder?” Chen Luoyang placed his hands behind his back and asked unhurriedly.
Zhou Pancheng’s corpse was still beside him.
However, Chen Luoyang acted as if nothing had happened and changed the topic.
Great Elder Xie Chong said slowly, ” If you want to give up Ancient God Peak, the impact will be too great. It will also give the enemy an opportunity. Please think twice before you act.
Chen Luoyang glanced at him and said slowly, “” Great Elder, you can guess what I’m thinking. You’re right, I don’t like Ancient God Peak. ”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Although there was an explosion of the Earth Fire, as the headquarters of the Demon Cult that had been passed down for generations, it was inevitable that people would be swayed if they gave up just like that without the invasion of the enemy.
“But Great Elder, you still don’t understand me.” Chen Luoyang said calmly, ” This Seat wants to move the headquarters away from Ancient God Peak because I look down on this place. I don’t want to run away like a stray dog when something happens here. ‘
He casually pointed at the raging lava below. “”lf I want to leave, of course, I have to solve the problem here before I leave..”
