“Why are you so flustered?”
At a corner of the Five Elements Altar, the Tianjue Sect Master slowly opened his eyes and asked calmly.
As he did that, the experts of the other factions also turned around one after another to look at the young man.
With their cultivation and strength, they could naturally tell at a glance that the thin young man’s vital qi had been corroded by the royal blood more seriously than a few days ago.
It was obvious to them that if the ritual continued, the young man would face severe damage and lose all his talent. It was only a matter of time before he became crippled and lost all his capability.
!!
“What a pity. He’s such a promising sword cultivator who might have been able to rise up and become a high and mighty Dao Platform Realm Champion. It’s just that he’s dealt a bad hand in life given that his parents attempted to assassinate our fellow practitioner from Tianjue…”
Everyone sighed as they thought about the situation.
However, who was to be blamed for this?
“He can only blame his own bad luck.”
The fat middle-aged man exhaled and said in a low voice, “What’s wrong with the secret technique? Think carefully before you answer!”
Hearing that, the young man’s expression became even stranger.
He opened his mouth slightly and replied sincerely, “It’s like this. With all the seniors here feeding me with energy, I was able to continuously activate the technique. However, ever since half a day ago, when I activated the technique again, I have been receiving a very strange response…”
Every time he thought about it, his face would twitch.
“What exactly… is happening?”
The young man was really at a loss.
In fact, it was just as Feng Xia had thought—
Among the 18 hidden spies planted by the Xuanwu imperial court, one of them was a double agent. If this person succeeded in his secret mission, he would be able to regain his identity and walk away as a free man.
If he failed, then he would continue to remain undercover and behave no differently from an ordinary spy.
The first time the secret technique was activated, this person seemed to answer the questions of the Tianjue Sect Master and the others, but he was actually also secretly transmitting the details of the internal arrangements that the imperial court had made in the Thousand Autumn Valley!
After all, other than a few special people, the other hidden spies were all acting alone and they did not know who their compatriots were.
The first step of the secret mission was to get rid of these hidden other spies.
“Hmph! Don’t be wishy-washy!”
Seeing how the young man was behaving, the Tianjue Sect Master snorted coldly. He made his magical power vibrate and turned it into a terrifying crushing pressure. The young man’s body swayed on the spot and he was almost pressed down on the ground in an instant.
“Every fellow practitioner’s time is precious. Even just a tiny bit is more precious than your life!”
“They… they replied…”
The young man coughed out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale. However, he gritted his teeth and continued, “I’m Mo Yin, I’m Mo Yin. I need backup, I need backup! I’m being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator, but I’m not panicking at all because his horse isn’t as fast as mine!”
“What did you say? Mo Yin is being hunted down?!”
The expressions of the Tianjue Sect Master and the others immediately changed drastically.
By right, Mo Yin had hidden himself very well. Since he was already a senior official, he must have passed all sorts of identity checks.
As long as there were no major mishaps, it was almost impossible for his identity to be exposed!
Yet, after they contacted Mo Yin, his identity became exposed, and he even encountered a Primal Core Realm… Wait! Primal Core Realm?!
It was only at this moment that the Tianjue Sect Master suddenly realized the problem and his expression turned ugly as he exclaimed, “Mo Yin is saying that… he is being chased by a Primal Core Realm cultivator… on horseback?”
The thin young man nodded earnestly.
“Nonsense!”
However, in the next second, the Tianjue Sect Master’s face turned dark with anger and he cursed, “Even though we know Mo Yin is strong, is it possible that he’s a Dao Platform Realm Champion? Even if he’s really already at the Dao Platform Realm, how can he escape if he’s being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator?!”
Moreover, the other party was supposedly chasing him on horseback!
After divine beings reached the Dao Platform Realm and cultivated the corresponding flying divine power, they would be able to fly for a short period of time.
In the current world, the reason why a Dao Platform Realm cultivator was termed as a Champion was because once divine beings could fly, they had an overwhelming advantage over those who could not!
However, the gap between the Primal Core Realm and the Dao Platform Realm was far greater than just this!
If a Primal Core Realm cultivator wanted to kill a Dao Platform Realm cultivator, a single strike was enough. Why would there be a need for a chase on horseback?
“Fellow sword practitioner, something seems to be quite wrong here.”
The fat middle-aged man frowned and said, “Why is Mo Yin… making fun of us for no reason?”
This did not make sense at all!
Swoosh—
At that moment, everyone’s gazes suddenly landed on the young man.
In their opinion, there could not be any problem with the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique. Then, the current mishap could only be related to this young man!
“Kid, what did you do—”
The Sect Master of Tianjue Sect could not help himself from being enraged. A terrifying aura erupted from him, and the might of his Dao Platform Realm surged like a demonic beast running amok. It collided with the young man’s body, causing him to fly backward involuntarily. The young man spat out a mouthful of blood again.
“No… It’s not me…”
“If you’re not the problem, then is Mo Yin the problem?!”
The group of experts glared at him.
The young man shook his head with much difficulty and said weakly, “It’s not Mo Yin’s problem as well. I tried to contact others, but no matter who I contacted, there’s only one response…”
“I’m Mo Yin, I’m Mo Yin. I need backup, I need backup! I’m being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator, but I’m not panicking at all because his horse isn’t as fast as mine!”
“Seniors, I suspect that the secret of the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique… has been cracked by someone!”
After using all his strength to say that last sentence, the young man finally could not hold on anymore and fainted.
The Tianjue Sect Master became even more furious. He raised his hand and was about to kill the young man on the spot.
“What nonsense is this bloody thing spouting—”
“Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, please stop for a moment!”
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, another Dao Platform Realm cultivator shook his head and stopped the sect master from carrying out the attack. “This child has no reason to lie to you. Moreover, we can do a check to see if there’s any problem with the secret technique.”
The Tianjue Sect Master was still furious. “This kid’s sins…”
“Fellow practitioner from Tianjue!”
Finally, all the Dao Platform Realm cultivators turned around progressively and locked their eyes onto the Sect Master of Tianjue Sect.
The fat middle-aged man was still smiling, but there was now a coldness in his voice. “Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, you had deliberately misled us earlier. You have already taken all the benefits you can get. If you continue to put on an act now, it’s akin to you looking down on all of us.”
“Could it be that our fellow practitioner from Tianjue… still wants us to offer a second benefit?” another person sneered sinisterly and said.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
The Tianjue Sect Master reacted very quickly. He instantly smiled as if nothing had happened, waved his hand lightly and said, “Since my fellow practitioners have all been so kind, it’s not good for me to refuse… It’s fine for me to take action personally!”
With a resolute attitude, he activated the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique in front of everyone!
Buzz—
Silently, an invisible bridge was built.
“I am from Tianjue. May I ask if you are…”
The Tianjue Sect Master’s heart skipped a beat and he threw out a question quickly.
The next moment, he heard a puzzled voice sounding in his mind.
“You’re the Tianjue Sect Master?”
“There’s indeed something wrong with this kid!”
The Tianjue Sect Master glanced coldly at the thin young man on the ground and signaled to the others to calm down. He then replied with a smile, “I am from Tianjue. May I ask if you are fellow practitioner Mo Yin?”
After a moment of silence, the voice unexpectedly replied, “Tianjue, I am your grandfather, Tianjin Rice. The young sect master of your Tianjue Sect is now in my hands. If you don’t want him to die… then kill yourself immediately!”
The Tianjue Sect Master: “???”
