Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 174 The leaker

"Okay," Yun Ying did not refuse.

Seeing Yunying nod, everyone was happy.

Although it is a bit regrettable that people like Longnu and Changgong Yan are in seclusion and I cannot see them, there is nothing I can do about it. Improving my strength is the most important thing, and it is too dangerous outside the pass.

Soon, a group of people left the island in the lake in a lively manner.

Under the leadership of Shi Hao, Yun Ying and his companions came to the tribe of the Shi Clan. A group of people sat around the campfire, skillfully ignited the fire, and started barbecuing.

The smell of food also attracted some children in the tribe.

"You are still too young to eat such nourishing food. Take this meat back to your elders and refine it slowly."

Shi Hao coaxed the children back with just a few words.

Watching this group of people drinking, eating meat, and chatting, Yun Ying felt the long-lost popularity, which made her think of her sister Yun Xi.

"Sister, and Xiaotun, I wonder how the family is doing now."

Yun Ying sat there, gazing into the sky. His gaze penetrated the endless void, returned to the Three Thousand Dao States, and landed on the City of Heaven.

"Miss your family?"

When Qingyi saw the direction she was looking, she knew what Yunying was thinking.

"Well, when I have free time, I tend to miss my family. Before I knew it, it's been almost four years. Time always passes without people noticing. Don't you think it's strange?"

Yun Ying nodded and did not deny it.

"Yes, time is so ruthless, rolling forward and never stopping for anyone. Yunying, how long do you think this battle will last? Will it continue until the end of this era?"

Qingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Then you are wrong. How could the foreign lands be willing to wait that long? They must know how cruel the future will be, so they are more anxious than anyone else."

Yun Ying shook her head, and she was also waiting for the foreign land to make a move.

Not long after, the Great Elder arrived quietly. He came for the remaining essence of the Immortal-Slaying Guillotine in the Thunder Pool.

Although that thing was nothing to him as a supreme being, it was an invaluable treasure to Shi Hao.

"Great Elder, why are you here?"

Everyone was surprised to see the Great Elder Meng Tianzheng arriving.

"I came here to ask Shi Hao, what are your plans for this essence?"

The Great Elder took out the thunder pool and pointed at a dark red light floating in it. It was a small part left by the Great Dao Guillotine and it was very extraordinary.

"Can it be refined into my body? I want it to become an indestructible weapon."

Shi Hao stared at the dark red light with a burning gaze. If he could refine it into his body, it would definitely be a powerful killing weapon.

"Okay, since this is your idea, I will help you do it."

The Great Elder looked at him, quickly understood his thoughts, and nodded.

Afterwards, the Great Elder took Shi Hao to a secluded place and helped him refine that thing into his body.

"Yun Ying, see you later."

Qingyi, Fengwu and the others also left one after another, returning to practice in seclusion and improve their strength as quickly as possible.

"Stone clan..."

After everyone left, only Yun Ying was left. She glanced towards the Stone Clan's tribe, then retracted her gaze and slowly left.

Ever since the last battle outside the Great Wall, the younger generation of the foreign land has been eyeing Shi Hao. Every time the two armies fight, the young masters of the foreign land are invincible. They also threaten to let Shi Hao fight and chop off his head.

During this period, the young masters from foreign lands were extremely arrogant, because no one of their peers in the nine heavens and ten earths could defeat them.

However, the foreign land’s happiness did not last long.

Three months later, tragic news arrived; five of the top ten masters of the younger generation in the foreign land all died in less than an hour.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire battlefield, causing a sensation in both foreign lands and the nine heavens and ten earths.

The top ten masters of the younger generation in foreign lands are all from royal families, and are the best among the royal families.

However, five people died in succession within one day. This was like a major earthquake for the foreign land and the loss was too great.

"Ah, my children, you actually died here in battle. I was waiting for you to reach the top. You died so young. I want to avenge you!"

The people from the foreign land went crazy. Five young masters died one after another. The impact was too great and the loss was irreparable.

This is far worse than the incident that happened at the border of Great Scarlet Sky more than a year ago.

Because at that time, none of the ten royal masters who died at Huang's hands were ranked in the top ten among the younger generation, but this time it was different, the five who died were all ranked in the top ten.

At one time, a large number of powerful people from foreign lands gathered, and the masters of several major royal families all appeared, with murderous intent, and headed straight for the Imperial Pass.

In front of the Imperial Pass, the armies of the nine heavens and ten earths were on full alert, with a murderous aura.

In the sky, the aura of the Supreme spread, and the supreme powers of the two worlds began to confront each other.

However, this confrontation did not last long after all. The two armies cursed each other for a long time and stepped on each other's sore spots. In the end, the foreign army was completely defeated and the army retreated.

Anticlimactic!

As the foreign army retreated, there was a lot of discussion in the Imperial Pass, discussing who was the person who killed the five great masters of the younger generation from the foreign land.

Because we learned from the alien creatures that the man was suspected to be Huang, and he killed all four people, and someone saw it with their own eyes.

"Huang is too powerful. With one move, he killed four of the top ten young masters from the foreign land. His fighting power is unparalleled!"

“I’m afraid that only the emergence of an imperial clan from a foreign land will have the possibility of competing with Huang!”

The cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were all very excited. Huang’s move was so satisfying that it completely wiped out the arrogance of the foreigners in one go.

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. He has acted so high-profile. Be careful that he will be targeted by the dragon slayer from another land and lose his head!"

If there are people who admire you, naturally there will be people who are jealous.

As for those who are jealous, there is no need to think about it. Apart from those families, who else could it be?

Just like that, not long after, a piece of news swept through Diguan like a storm.

A leaker appeared in Diguanzhong!
This matter is extremely serious. If it is true, and if the leaker cannot be found and cleared out, the morale of the Diguan army will be unstable and big problems will arise.

The most surprising thing is that this news was leaked by someone from the foreign land, just to let Emperor Guan know that there was a traitor among them.

Isn't this also an open conspiracy of the foreign land? I'm telling you openly that there are traitors among you and we have our accomplices. It depends on what you decide to do. If you fail to handle it well, you will fall directly into the pit I have dug for you.

"I've dug a huge hole for you. Let's see if you can jump into it. If you can avoid it, that's your ability!" This is a naked signal sent by the foreign land, demonstrating and deterring the nine heavens and ten earths.

Just as the foreign land had imagined, the moment this news reached back to the Imperial Pass, it caused a storm in the Imperial Pass.

If a traitor appeared in the nine heavens and ten earths, that would be a huge deal.

Deep in the imperial city, there is a huge palace. At this moment, all the powerful and prominent men from various tribes in the imperial city have gathered and are sitting cross-legged in the palace.

Because of the leak, all ethnic groups attached great importance to it and arrived at the first opportunity, with more than 100,000 people coming.

"Each tribe must conduct a thorough investigation to find out the leaker. Otherwise, sooner or later everyone will be in danger and it will be difficult for them to unite. They will not be able to resist the attack of the foreign army at all."

"That's right, we must find the traitors and punish them severely! Damn it, we are fighting on the battlefield, and our lives depend on fate. Those bastards dared to leak the secrets. We must find them and torture them to death!"

Some hot-tempered masters spoke loudly, not hiding their anger and hatred at all.

There is no one who does not hate and dislike traitors, and they should be killed as soon as possible.

"I think it must be Huang. He is the one leaking the secret. Otherwise, why would he dare to run to the Divine Medicine Mountain Range alone? He is meeting someone from a foreign land!"

"That's right. Our people have already discovered that there are a large number of alien creatures roaming there. If he wasn't the leaker, he would have died long ago. It's impossible for him to be alive!"

Some people were shouting and concluding that Shi Hao was the leaker and accusing him of an unforgivable crime.

Of course, they were trying to curry favor with the people from the Wang and Jin families. They were all lackeys of the two families, and spared no effort to discredit Shi Hao in order to please their masters.

The Wang family and the Jin family have already won over quite a few people in Diguan, promising them great benefits.

Now, these people are seizing the opportunity and trying their best to make use of it.

"Shut up!"

Contrary to what everyone was saying, the third son of the Wang family shouted to stop them, with a cold look in his eyes, which made those who had just spoken feel frightened.

"Think about it with your brains. Huang has killed many young kings from foreign lands and made a great enemy. Anyone could betray him, but he is the only one who cannot betray him!"

An old woman from the Jin family also spoke up, her tone solemn and her cold gaze made those people cough up blood.

This is the daughter of the old lady of the Jin family. She is also a great cultivator in the first level of escape and is very powerful.

The people from the Wang family and the Jin family spoke one after another, and they all spoke for Huang, which surprised many people present. Everyone knew that these two families were the ones who wished Huang to die outside the most.

But now such fair words are spoken, it makes people wonder whether the sun rises from the west.

Or maybe they were just pretending, letting their subordinates come out to discredit Huang and then deny it themselves to divert everyone's attention.

If this is true, I don’t know whether to say they are smart or stupid.

Those who spoke ill of Huang were all from their two families. Even if they pretended to be righteous, they still couldn't clear themselves of the blame.

Or did they think that everyone else present was a fool and could be fooled at will?

"What a bunch of clowns!"

A master of the Wei family who was at the first level of escape sneered and said it bluntly in a voice so loud that everyone in the entire hall could hear it.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked towards the cultivator from the Wei family.

The people from the Wang family and the Jin family were no exception, especially the five dragons from the Wang family and the old woman from the Jin family, all of them had gloomy expressions.

Such blatant words were clearly directed at them.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, what do you mean?"

The second son of the Wang family narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"I saw a good show and I just felt inspired. What do you think, fellow Daoist Wang?"

The cultivator from the Wei family responded indifferently. In Diguan, the Wang family was like a dragon and had to cower in front of the Wei family.

The second son of the Wang family did not reply, but his expression looked a little unhappy. If it was anyone else, he would definitely not let it go so easily. However, the other party was a member of the Wei family, and their foundation in Diguan was too huge, so he really did not dare to start a conflict casually.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, we are sitting here to find the leaker, not to stir up trouble."

The old woman from the Jin family spoke up and stood on the side of the Wang family.

"That sounds nice. I thought you guys are from an immortal family after all, so you should be smart enough. I didn't expect that I thought you were too smart."

"It has come to this point. I don't believe that no one has understood that the leaker can only come from the top family and sect!"

The master from the Wei family spoke in an icy tone, colder than winter, causing everyone in the hall to change their expressions.

"Be careful with your words! Fellow Daoist of the Wei family, don't say such things carelessly!"

Immediately, the people from the Jin family and the Wang family spoke, their faces turned black, as if they had been slapped in the face.

"Hmph, if you don't have enough brains, don't stand up and shout. The leak has never happened before, but it happened now. If there is any major change in Diguanzhong, it is that more than a year ago, the Nine Heavens sent armies from various tribes to station there."

"So, this so-called leaker must be one of those people. Huang's appearance is just to add fuel to the fire. After all, some people have wanted him dead for a long time. Am I wrong?"

The master of the Wei family sneered and laid the facts directly in front of everyone.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall fell silent, and they all thought of something.

However, when these words fell into the ears of the Wang family and the Jin family, it sounded different. It was like poison, making their faces turn purple and they could no longer maintain their calm demeanor.

This clearly means that the leaker is among their few immortal families, or in other words, the traitors are their few immortal families.

"Fellow Daoist from the Wei family, please stop slandering us. Aren't you a family of immortality? Your family is also a suspect!"

The old woman from the Jin family frowned and growled.

After these words were spoken, the expert from the Wei family did not respond, but just looked at her coldly with a sneer in his eyes.

Seeing the sneer in the other person's eyes, the old woman from the Jin family felt a jolt in her heart and immediately felt that something was wrong.

As expected, many people in the entire hall looked at her with disgust, indifference and disdain.

"No, fellow Taoists, that's not what I meant."

The old woman from the Jin family turned pale and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and had angered everyone.

She was too impulsive when she spoke just now, and she overlooked such an important thing, that is, many of the big families present have lived in Diguan for generations and regarded Diguan as their ancestral land.

For many long months, they had been stationed at the Imperial Pass, guarding this line of defense and keeping the foreign cavalry out of the pass, paying the price of countless blood and sacrifices.

How could they possibly betray Emperor Guan? No one would believe it if they told it.

"My fellow Daoists, Daoist Jin was just confused for a moment and said the wrong thing. He didn't mean it that way."

At this time, the five dragons of the Wang family had to stand up and speak, because their Wang family and the Jin family are now of the same blood.
