Chen Luoyang surveyed his surroundings.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more oppressive.
Everyone looked at the Sect Master’s emotionless face and their hearts began to beat faster.
It was reasonable to say that defeating the enemy and winning a complete victory should be a joyous thing, but the situation now seemed to be wrong. “When there is an earthquake, snakes, insects, rats, and ants will all come out.”
Chen Luoyang’s voice that could not be heard echoed in the hall, “”After I left, Li Yuanlong and the others came in and caused a ruckus. As expected, many insects were startled.”
‘ Sect Master, ” the Demonic Sect members said in unison. ” You’re invincible. These tricks are not worth mentioning.
Everyone understood now.
The fifth disciple of the Sword Emperor, the Intelligent Sword Shi Jing, who had been captured and brought back to the headquarters, had mysteriously escaped.
The White Tiger Palace Hall’s Chief Nie Guangyuan and Right Emissary Wang Fei flew into a rage. At the same time as they searched for the Intelligent Sword, they ordered a thorough investigation of the headquarters.
It wasn’t until the news of the Sect Master’s triumphant return that the Ancient God Peak finally quieted down.
The prison of the White Tiger Palace could be considered one of the most heavily guarded places in the Demon Cult’s headquarters.
Shi Jing escaped mysteriously. No one believed that there was no spy.
Previously, when the Earth Fire erupted at the foot of Ancient God Peak, the Cult Master had mentioned that Sixth Elder Zhou Pancheng, the spy, had accomplices. Now, it seemed that his speculation was not groundless.
Now that the Sect Master had returned to the headquarters, he was indeed going to investigate this matter.
A person with a clear conscience was calm in his heart at this moment.
However, there were also senior members of the Elder Faction who felt uneasy. They knew that he was not a traitor and did not betray the Ancient Gods Clan.
But who knew if the Cult Master would take the opportunity to make a fuss and attack them?
“Reporting to Cult Master, this subordinate didn’t manage his subordinates strictly and made a mistake. I’ve let down Cult Master’s trust.” White Tiger Hall’s Chief Nie Guangyuan took a step forward and knelt down in front of
Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang sat high on his seat and looked at the other party.
” After investigation, I found out that Zhang He, the Sixth Constellation of the White Tiger, colluded with the Xia Dynasty and secretly stole the stone mirror of the Sword Pavilion. I have already captured him. ” Nie Guangyuan reported, ‘ After interrogation, we found out that the person who contacted him is Gao Zhen, one of the internal palace managers of the Xia Dynasty. I have ordered people to pursue Gao Zhen and Shi Jing.
Chen Luoyang nodded his head, but he didn’t reply. Instead, he called out,
‘”‘Tianheng.”
“Yes, Cult Master.” Zhang Tianheng, Guardian Zhurong, who was in charge of the Dian Province branch, responded and walked out of the hall.
The hearts of everyone present trembled slightly.
The Cult Master had previously ordered the eight sides to protect the outside and cooperate with the Azure Dragon Hall to recover the lost land of the Demon Territory.
But Zhang Tianheng stayed.
He was extremely loyal to the Cult Master, so he naturally wouldn’t disobey.
The only explanation was that the Sect Master had ordered Zhang Tianheng to stay behind.
Everyone looked at Nie Guangyuan with a playful gaze.
The other party was the White Tiger Palace Hall’s chief. The prison was under the White Tiger Palace Hall’s management. At the same time, the White Tiger Palace Hall was also in charge of some of the internal guards in the headquarters.
Now that Shi Jing had escaped, Nie Guangyuan would be blamed no matter what.
Although he had managed to salvage the situation in time and had been effective in tracking down the traitor, he still could not avoid the responsibility.
The most important question was whether the Cult Master still trusted him.
If the Cult Master still trusted him, it would not be a big deal. He would always have a chance to make a comeback.
However, with the current situation, Chief Nie’s situation did not seem to be good…
Zhang Tianheng’s fanatical loyalty to the Cult Master could be ranked among the top few in the entire sect.
Even if it was all an act, he was the Protector of the Outer Helm, so it was difficult for him to interfere and infiltrate the headquarters. Moreover, he had been out with the Sect Master for a long time, so he had no chance to cause trouble in the headquarters.
Among everyone present, Zhang Tianheng was one of the few people with the least suspicion.
Then, the problem came.
Zhang Tianheng was trustworthy, which made Nie Guangyuan feel awkvvard.
The White Tiger Palace’s Chief knelt on the ground quietly, waiting for the Cult Master’s decision.
Chen Luoyang closed his eyes and rested. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his chair.
In the hall, only the sound of “Dong Dong Dong” could be heard, like muffled thunder.
Everyone below fell silent. Their minds were filled with thoughts, and they thought of many things in an instant.
However, he didn’t ask them to wait for long.
A moment later, someone returned to the hall.
It was not Zhang Tianheng, but the six Demon Cult members under him.
Each of these six Demon Cult members was carrying a person in their hands.
Those people were restrained and could not move. They could only let Zhang Tianheng’s men carry them in like bags.
Everyone’s eyes swept across the faces of these prisoners, and they were all surprised.
First of all, the sixth constellation of the White Tiger, Zhang He, was not among them.
Secondly, these people were not prisoners imprisoned in the White Tiger Palace Hall. They were Demonic Sect disciples who stayed in the headquarters. Not all of them were disciples of the White Tiger Palace Hall. They were from different places.
Moreover, there were people from both the elder faction and the young faction.
Lastly, their cultivation might not be very high, but their duties could not be underestimated.
Nie Guangyuan continued to bow to Chen Luoyang and didn’t get up to look at the person who had entered.
However, when he heard the sound of footsteps, a dark shadow flashed across his eyes.
“Reporting to Cult Master, a total of six people have been brought here.” The voice of a Demonic Sect disciple rang out.
Chen Luoyang slowly opened his eyes, and a dark golden radiance flickered.
Everyone could feel that the killing intent of the Chiyou Form behind him had become denser.
“Six people.” “Guangyuan, do you have anything else to say after hearing this number?” Chen Luoyang’s voice was still calm.
Everyone was shocked.
” It’s true that Zhang He colluded with Gao Zhen of the Xia Dynasty, and it’s also true that he has nothing to do with you. However, you are related to these six people and Gao Zhen. ” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
Nie Guangyuan kneeled on the ground and didn’t move. After a while, he finally said, ‘”‘ I have my own selfish motives. I want to use the opportunity of cleaning up the headquarters to plant my trusted aides. I have made such a big mistake. I dare not ask for forgiveness from you, but please understand. I am loyal to the Divine Sect and will never collude with the enemy! ‘
Chen Luoyang didn’t say anything. His fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze.
After a while, another person came in and finally broke the silence.
This time, it was Zhang Tianheng himself who had returned.
He was also carrying a person who could not move.
The crowd looked over carefully and realized that it was a Vermillion Bird Palace Hall disciple.
The Second Elder Yan Zhao and the Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng both looked gloomy.
“Long live Cult Master. I didn’t fail you.” Zhang Tianheng greeted Chen Luoyang first.
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly.
Zhang Tianheng looked at Nie Guangyuan and sneered, “”You are really cautious.”
Nie Guangyuan was still kneeling on the ground. At this moment, he raised his head, straightened his back, and turned to look at the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall disciple. He then bowed to Chen Luoyang once again.”This subordinate has been framed. I hope Cult Master will understand.”
“You have always been proud and conceited. Why are you so lazy and shameless today?”
Chen Luoyang said nonchalantly, ” How can This Seat be deceived by others? Today, you are the only one who is to blame. Don’t harbor any hope of getting lucky. These seven people can’t move you. What if two more are added? ”
The way the other members of the Demonic Sect looked at Nie Guangyuan gradually changed.
The situation was clear.
All of Nie Guangyuan’s secrets had been dug out by the Cult Master!
Thinking of how this Chief of the White Tiger Palace Hall was the person in charge of surveillance and intelligence gathering in the cult, and how he had ended up like this, the others present felt their hearts tremble.
How well-informed were the Cult Master’s eyes and ears?
The intelligence network under him was layered. How advanced was it?
After a moment of silence, Nie Guangyuan let out a long sigh.
He raised his head, his expression calm.
Then, he straightened his back and stood up.
Although it was a very natural and ordinary action, anyone could tell that at this moment, this White Tiger Palace Hall Chief had no respect or fear for the high and mighty Devil Cult Master.
However, before he could stand up straight, a huge force came crashing down.
Chi You Xiang stared at Nie Guangyuan.
The invisible power in his eyes forced Nie Guangyuan to kneel down again.
Nie Guangyuan’s body was overflowing with cold air. He circulated the cultivation of the Taiyin Scripture to the extreme and tried his best to resist Chi You, trying to stand up again.
However, in the end, he was still no match for the Martial Monarch Realm’s fist intent.
Not only was he unable to stand up again, he was completely pressed down and prostrated on the ground.
He lay on the ground and turned his head with difficulty. He tried to look at Chen Luoyang above him, but his line of sight couldn’t reach him.
Only Chen Luoyang’s voice sounded in his ears, It’s not bad now. At least you dare to admit your mistakes. However, I didn’t allow you to get up.
Although it was futile, Nie Guangyuan was still struggling.
Unfortunately, Chen Luoyang’s fist intent had completely pressed him to the ground. In the end, he couldn’t even move a finger.
The surrounding Demon Cult members looked at Nie Guangyuan and guessed.
The other party was a young genius that the Cult Master had personally promoted previously, and one of the few people he trusted the most. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the White Tiger Palace to be handed over to him.
Why did Nie Guangyuan betray him?
If it was for power, he wouldn’t take such a risk.
Chen Luoyang, who was seated, had a calm and confident look on his face. In fact, he was also curious.
Through the latest personal life experiences provided by the Black Pot, Chen Luoyang finally caught some clues about Nie Guangyuan.
The other party’s background did look innocent.
However, after Chen Luoyang left the headquarters to look for Sword Emperor Wang Jian, the other party finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Regarding Shi Jing’s escape, Nie Guangyuan was still hiding behind the scenes.
After Shi Jing escaped and cleaned up the headquarters, he finally revealed his traces.
Especially since he had finally taken the initiative to contact Gao Zhen, the Chief Eunuch of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Although he had used the henchmen he had secretly nurtured in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall to act as a middleman, at this point, he had nowhere to hide in front of Chen Luoyang.
Looking back at the past, his actions might not have been so innocent. He had always been cautious and did not act rashly. He only used some subtle and seemingly unintentional small actions to slowly weave a net that belonged to him.
This person probably already had disloyalty.
The accumulation of sand becomes a tower, and water droplets can penetrate stone. After accumulating, once it was launched, it seemed to be without any smoke and fire. It was as if it was light and could move stars and change the moon, but in fact, it was a deep accumulation.
It was indeed thanks to Nie Guangyuan that the White Tiger Six Cranes were able to bring the Intelligent Sword and Stone Mirror out.
Unfortunately, Nie Guangyuan was not lucky enough to misjudge the situation. He thought that a rare opportunity had finally arrived. Who would have thought that the battle at South Cloud Mountain would turn the tables in an instant?
If it was another opponent, he would not be exposed even with multiple layers of cover. He could continue to lie low and wait for the next opportunity.
But in the end, the first and only time he had surfaced, Chen Luoyang grabbed his hair the moment he appeared..
