Translator: 549690339
The dark clouds pressed against the sky, and it was so heavy that it seemed like it was about to fall. Looking at the white light that flashed from time to time in the clouds, the townspeople were in a hurry. They all wanted to rush home before the storm.
Amidst the hurried pedestrians, a long-bearded old man was leisurely walking on the street.
The old man walked unhurriedly to the front of an inn. He glanced at the signboard and strode in.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the old man quickly arrived at a heaven-class private room.
After the waiter closed the door and left, a middle-aged man who had been sitting inside immediately stood up and bowed to the old man, “Greetings, Master Lin.”
Taking off his cloak, Lin Renwu frowned and said,””Why didn’t you say it in the valley? Why did you have to come to this inn?”
He took out a charm and lit it up. Yin Xiuliang replied: “Reporting to Sect Master Lin, this subordinate has already set up a formation here.”
“What are you trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?” Lin Renwu sat in front of the table and asked.
“The reason why this subordinate invited Cult Master to meet here is because I was worried that someone in your cult would see us.”
“Someone with intentions?” Lin Renwu’s expression became even stranger.” What do you mean?
He bowed to Lin Renwu and replied, ‘”‘Then this subordinate will be straightforward.
Looking at Yin Xiuliang’s hesitant expression, Lin Renwu shouted, “”Tell me! Why are you dawdling?”
“This subordinate suspects that there is a traitor in the sect.”
“Continue.” Lin Renwu said with a gloomy expression.
It was normal for there to be spies in the sect. Which sect would not have spies from other sects?
However, since Yin Xiuliang had brought up this matter alone, it meant that this spy was definitely not an ordinary disciple.
“Master Lin, do you still remember Yan Qi?”
“I remember. You secretly taught that disciple, right?”
“That’s right. A few years ago, when you asked me to send some people to Wuji House, I sent him there. Now, he’s an array master in Wuji House. Although his position isn’t high, he knows a lot of things. Because I asked him to secretly modify their mountain-protecting array, he can hear many things that others can’t.”
“Your disciple is quite capable.”
The Protective Mountain Array was an array formation that every large sect attached great importance to. To be able to secretly tamper with it, one was definitely quite capable.
“Thank you for your praise, Cult Master.” After thanking Lin Renwu, Yin Xiuliang continued,””When I went to ask him this time, he said that he accidentally overheard a conversation. He didn’t know what was going on at first, but now he somewhat understands.”
“What words?” Lin Renwu asked.
“A conversation about how to crack my Heavenly Body Moving Array and set up the Dark Brilliance Array. The last part of the conversation is…This time, you have to help me deal with the problem when you are practicing Buddhism. Don’t let your Cult Master get angry and directly attack us. That will be a lot of trouble.”
“Motherf * cker!”
Lin Renwu slammed the table after hearing that! How many people in the Liang Kingdom dared to directly challenge the Wu Ji’s Grand Sage? Wasn’t it just him, Lin Renwu?
” What else did you hear?!”
“He said that he would only listen to this and nothing else.”
“One by one! He was so bold! How dare you betray me!” Lin Renwu crushed a wine cup and asked Yin Xiuliang,””Who do you think this mole is?”
“This… This subordinate is not sure either.”
“I didn’t ask you to answer me! I’m asking you to guess, guess the president, right?”
“This…” Yin Xiuliang wiped his forehead awkwardly and replied in a low voice,””There shouldn’t be many people in your cult who can deal with you. Cult Master, you can think about these people.”
The instant he finished listening to these words, Yan Wenguang’s figure flashed through Lin Renwu’s mind. Two days ago, wasn’t it him who blocked him with all his might? Otherwise, he would have attacked Wuji Zhai long ago.
“Impossible, impossible.”
Lin Renwu shook his head. The person who had followed him the longest in the cult was Yan Wenguang. He also trusted him extremely. He absolutely would not do this kind of backstabbing thing.
‘But what if…
Once the seed of suspicion was planted, the many things that Yan Wenguang did made him feel that something was not quite right.
For example, a few days ago, when he wanted to send him to Zhuoyou County to manage the new branch, he refused to go no matter what, saying that he wanted to stay by his side and help him plan.
At that time, Lin Renwu felt that Yan Wen Guang was loyal and devoted, but
now thinking about it, before this matter, no matter what orders he gave, Yan Wen Guang was always obedient. Only this matter reacted particularly intensely.
Something’s wrong.
‘He doesn’t want to leave my side. Could it be that he wants to…’
When he felt that his thoughts were getting more and more wrong, Lin Renwu suddenly stood up and said, “This matter ends here. Don’t mention it again!”
“Yes.” Yin Xiuliang cupped his hands.
“Is there any other news?”
“I’ve already found out some of the reasons why Everlasting House and Zhen Yuan Sect are working together, but I’m not sure yet. I hope Master Lin can give me more time.”
“Go, go.” Lin Renwu waved his hand.
“This subordinate will take his leave.”
After Yin Xiuliang left, Lin Renwu spat on the ground. Although the sect had never been peaceful because of the constant fighting between the major factions, it was normal to catch a few spies from time to time.
But Yan Wen Guang was absolutely one of his most trusted subordinates.. If even he…
