Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 920 Exposing the Spy
"What?" Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked and looked at Ning Fa in disbelief.

How long has it been? Another Nascent Soul cultivator from the enemy has died at Ning Fa's hands?
Moreover, many people knew that Gru from the Beastman Tribe was present.

This person is no ordinary individual. Not only is he quite strong, but his savage beast, the Black Python, also possesses the strength of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

The two of them together were comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet they were both killed by Ning Fa?
Ning Fa smiled slightly, then flicked his right hand.

In a burst of black light, a ferocious python head, about ten feet in size, crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Everyone in the hall was immediately startled and stared intently at the ferocious python head.

A strange light flashed in Fairy Liyue's eyes as she nodded and said, "Indeed, this is the Black Python of that Gru. Fellow Daoist Ning is truly incredibly powerful..."

Although Ningfa did not produce Gelu's head, there was no reason to doubt it. After all, Tianli also had spies from Cangyuan, so it was easy to confirm the news of the fall of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement once again.

Ning Fa remained expressionless, but then suddenly frowned slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at a person sitting on the right side of the hall.

This was a dwarf who was no more than three feet tall. He was wearing a Taoist robe that looked a bit too big, with a white crane printed on the front, which looked somewhat comical.

This person is none other than Yunhe Zhenjun, the Great Elder of Jinlin Valley.

Yunhe, like the others, stared at Ningfa in shock.

Ningfa stopped looking at him, but some doubts remained in her heart.

Fairy Biwu gave Ning Fa a deep look, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning has made great contributions in this battle. When we return to Tianyu City, I will personally recommend him for credit."

After she finished speaking, her expression turned serious, and she continued, "Alright, now that everyone is here, I have something important to say."

Do you all know why so many of us have gathered at this Huangdang Mountain stronghold?

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Hadn't they come here to defend this stronghold?
However, Fairy Biwu's words clearly had a deeper meaning.

Ding Yanbo of the Tianming Sect, who had a shrewd look on his face, said thoughtfully, "I felt before that it was a bit too high a status for so many of us to be stationed here at Huangdang Mountain. Now, after hearing what Fellow Daoist Biwu said, it seems there is another reason behind it?"

Fairy Biwu nodded and said, "That's right, exactly."

Although the spirit stone veins and the third-tier spirit stone veins here are precious, they cannot be developed in large quantities in the short term, and their value is far less than that of another resource in this area.

What many of you may not know is that our Cangyuan Elders Association secretly began preparing to refine a special treasure more than ten years ago.

This treasure is specifically designed to deal with Tianli cultivators, and it is extremely important to us.

One of the key components of this treasure is located in Huangdang Mountain, which is why I led so many fellow practitioners here today—our true purpose is to protect this component of the treasure.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was startled, their expressions shocked, as they had not expected such a reason.

Li Yue, Yun He, Jiu Jian, and the others were also shocked. They had been stationed at Huangdang Mountain for several years but had no idea about this.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Judging from what Fairy Biwu said, that treasure was probably extraordinary, possibly even a spirit treasure.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked in the direction of Jade Crane True Lord seemingly unintentionally.

All that could be seen was Jade Crane True Lord pinching a few sparse whiskers, his small eyes darting around, looking extremely shocked and curious.

Ning Fa remained calm, but secretly he had already activated the Moon God's Heart in his sea of ​​consciousness. His divine sense was immediately stimulated to the maximum extent, reaching the most subtle details.

At this moment, Fairy Miaoyin gently opened her mouth and said, "Fellow Daoist Biwu, is there something special about Huangdang Mountain that makes it necessary to cultivate the components of that treasure here?"

Fairy Biwu shook her head as she met everyone's gaze: "I'm sorry, this treasure is a secret, and only the elders of the Elder Council know about it for the time being. Please forgive me for not being able to say more."

However, everyone knew that although Fairy Biwu did not say much, Huangdang Mountain must have something special about it, which was why the elders placed such an important treasure at the front line.

At this moment, Yun Jingzhenjun's eyes flashed, and he said with some worry, "But the military situation is tense now, and the Tianli army is already approaching."

We repelled their vanguard this time, but it might not be so easy for them to attack again next time. Are we just going to hold out here indefinitely?

The others also immediately showed worried expressions. Although there were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators at the Huangdang Mountain stronghold, the Tianli army was not to be underestimated.

If they are surrounded, even Nascent Soul cultivators might not be able to escape.

Fairy Biwu smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. I have already confirmed it using a secret method."

The treasure will take about a month to fully form, so if the enemy army attacks at that time, we can retreat at our leisure.

But before that, everyone needs to work hard on defense.

Based on our intelligence analysis, the main attack direction of the Tianli vanguard army should be the Luohun Mountain stronghold, which has a more important geographical location.

Therefore, with our current strength at Huangdang Mountain, holding out for a month shouldn't be a problem.

"One month..." Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions softened slightly, but they were still worried.

At this moment, Fairy Biwu changed the subject: "The Elders Council has also considered that this matter is quite risky, so all comrades who participate in the defense of Huangdang Mountain will receive three times the battle merits."

Upon hearing Fairy Biwu's words, everyone nodded secretly. Such a response greatly alleviated their doubts.

Just then, the dwarf-like True Monarch Yunhe stroked his beard, his eyes darting around as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Biwu, although this treasure is a matter of secrecy, you should at least tell us where the components of that treasure are located in Huangdang Mountain, right?"

This will also allow us to discuss and come up with a better defense plan.

Putting aside other matters, I possess an ancient defensive barrier discovered in an ancient cultivator's cave. When set up on a small scale, it can even temporarily defend against attacks from powerful cultivators.

Upon hearing this, many people nodded secretly, clearly agreeing with what True Monarch Yunhe said.

Fairy Biwu also looked thoughtful and was about to answer when a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait a minute."

The speaker was Ning Fa, and the others immediately looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, Ning Fa's eyes were emitting a faint silver-white spiritual light, making him look quite mysterious, and he was staring intently at True Monarch Yunhe.

Yunhe's eyes darted around, and he asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Ning? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Ning Fa smiled and said calmly, "What you said is fine, but the problem is... with you, because you are Tian Li's spy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was immediately shocked and looked at Ning Fa in disbelief.

Cang Lei, standing next to Ning Fa, looked on with surprise.

He knew Ning Fa wouldn't make baseless accusations, but Ning Fa had only just arrived, so how could he have seen through Yun He's identity as an enemy spy at a glance?

Fairy Biwu looked even more astonished and uncertain; this charge was no small matter. But the problem was, it was Ning Fa who said it.

At this time, Ning Fa had become extremely unfathomable in everyone's eyes because he had killed two high-level cultivators from Tianli.

So even though what he said sounded very shocking, people couldn't help but be skeptical.

A look of panic flashed across Yunhe Zhenjun's eyes, followed by a look of anger as he said, "Ning Fa, don't think that just because you killed two high-level Tianli cultivators, you can arbitrarily convict others!"
In order to resist Tianli, seven or eight out of ten of my sect's disciples died. Therefore, I have a blood feud with Tianli. How could I possibly be a spy for Tianli?

Hmph, I suppose you still remember how our sect suppressed your Huayu Sect back in Jiang Kingdom, so you want to take revenge now!

"Fellow Daoists Liyue and Jiujian, don't let this brat's evil scheme succeed, or he'll definitely come looking for trouble!"

Upon hearing this, both Li Yue and Jiu Jian showed surprise and doubt in their eyes.

At this moment, Ning Fa laughed. He was too lazy to argue with this person anymore, and immediately shouted coldly, "No one else should make a move. Once I capture this person, it will be clear whether he is a spy or not!"

Before he finished speaking, Ning Fa suddenly pointed two fingers at his forehead, and a strange aura emanated from it.

In an instant, it transformed into a somewhat strange white cloud, churning and swirling within it, from which came sounds that resembled both chanting and thunder.

The next moment, a special white rune, resembling the structure of lightning, emerged from the cloud.

On the other side, True Monarch Yunhe was startled. Naturally, he was unwilling to sit and wait for death. His figure was suddenly fluctuating with a strange green light, and he shot towards the entrance of the hall at an extremely fast speed.

However, the special lightning rune disappeared in a flash, and the next moment, it was already hovering above his head. A strange white lightning bolt fell from the lightning rune, enveloping True Monarch Yunhe.

The man was instantly immobilized as if frozen in place, but large beads of sweat instantly appeared on his face as he struggled desperately.

The people in the hall were immediately shocked, not only by Ning Fa's ruthless attack, but also by the strange lightning rune.

The lightning it cast emitted a strange, sacred sound, like thunder yet also the low murmur of a deity.

Hearing this, they felt as if their souls were boiling.

Negative emotions that are usually easily suppressed suddenly erupt at this moment, giving the feeling of losing oneself in the intense negative emotions.

This supernatural power is precisely what Ning Fa cultivated – the Divine Thunder of Whispering Thoughts.

As an advanced divine power of the Spirit Heart Divine Thunder, this divine thunder has a more sophisticated method of attacking the soul.

It can directly ignite the negative emotions in a cultivator's soul. The stronger the negative emotions that are usually hidden, the greater the damage from the Divine Lightning of Whispering Thoughts.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall had such a strong reaction after only being slightly exposed to the aura of the Divine Lightning of Chiminous Thoughts, let alone True Monarch Yunhe who was attacked by this divine lightning.

The man's face was contorted in pain, and he was drenched in sweat, yet he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Liyue, Jiujian! If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold! This brat dared to attack me in public today; you two will definitely not escape in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords True Monarch hesitated and even took a slight step forward.

But at that moment, Ning Fa gave him a cold look, his eyes full of warning.

Immediately, Fairy Liyue also reached out to block in front of the Nine Swords.

She looked at Ning Fa, waved her hand, and indicated that she would not intervene.

Ning Fa then looked at the Cloud Crane True Monarch, snorted coldly, and pointed his finger in the distance, causing the spiritual light emitted by the thunder rune to intensify by several times.

At this moment, Yunhe's face was extremely ferocious, and soon wisps of black mist emanated from his body, dancing wildly like black tentacles, exuding an extremely strange and evil aura.

The others immediately changed their expressions, finally realizing that something was wrong with True Monarch Yunhe.

Just then, Yunhe let out another inhuman roar, and his entire body exploded.

Then a strange figure appeared, seemingly formed from black mist.

It's even hard to tell if they're even human. Dozens of eerie black tentacles dance wildly, their faces blurry, but their charcoal-red eyes radiate an extremely evil aura.

The figure's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. He glared fiercely at Ning Fa, then his body suddenly swelled up and exploded.

The black mist swept outwards like a tornado, even breaking through the restraining lightning emitted by the Chi Nian Divine Thunder.

Immediately, dozens or even hundreds of thin, hair-like black wisps of mist fled out of the hall from all directions.

Ning Fa sneered and touched his forehead again.

The next moment, everyone was astonished to find that the black threads that were flying away had mysteriously disappeared.

At this moment, Ning Fa also closed his eyes and kept making hand seals.

Everyone immediately guessed that Ning Fa was still fighting with that strange creature, and for a moment they remained silent, but they were all extremely shocked.

The technique Ning Fa just displayed was clearly an extremely rare soul-binding secret art, and its power was extremely strong.

Even though they only sensed some aura, the consequences were enough to make them shudder.

Moreover, the strange thing on Yunhe's body was obviously extraordinary and not something that an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could deal with.

Yet Ning Fa saw through it at a glance, suppressed it, and even had the potential to kill it.

This made Ning Fa seem even more unfathomable in their eyes.

Not long after, Ning Fa opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Fairy Biwu hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Ning, what's the situation? Did that thing escape?"

Ning Fa shook his head: "No, I've already killed that thing."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Ning Fa with even greater awe, once again feeling how terrifying Ning Fa was.

Li Yue, Yun He, and even Cang Lei and the others looked lingering fear.

As everyone can see now, it's clear that True Monarch Yunhe has been possessed by that strange thing and is no longer the original Yunhe.

They had spent quite some time with Yunhe at their base in Huangdang Mountain, yet they had never noticed anything unusual about him.

Furthermore, even if I were to be possessed by that strange thing, would I be able to resist it?
Thinking of this, they were immediately filled with dread.

After all, True Monarch Yunhe is a veteran mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. If he was affected, then they would probably be hard-pressed to escape unscathed.
