Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

Time passed slowly, and the sun began to set in the west.

Gu Yuena, Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi were all eager to try.

Clearly, they also intended to forcibly find the person.

But at that very moment!

The council chamber doors were suddenly pushed open!

A middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a Wind Sword Sect elder, looking travel-worn, with barely concealed panic on his face, didn't even notice there were outsiders in the hall before urgently calling out to Feng Bailong, who was seated at the head of the table:

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened! I just returned from the Elephant Armor Sect... The Elephant Armor Sect is gone! The entire sect was wiped out! The reason why the spies we sent out hadn't responded, which you mentioned earlier, has also been found. He probably died when the Elephant Armor Sect was destroyed!"

"This is also why we haven't received any updates on the Holy Spirit Cult's movements! Sect Master, what should we do next?"

After he finished speaking, the entire council chamber fell silent.

The elder sensed something was wrong, raised his head, and looked closely.

The sect leader, and four... outsiders.

He was terrified:

"Not one of our elders? Sect Master... have I... made some serious mistake?"

These words made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Feng Bailong no longer wanted to speak.

The smile on Ning Fengzhi's face vanished instantly.

After destroying the Elephant Armor Sect, he specifically instructed the Spirit Hall not to let the news get out.

Therefore, the Wind Sword Sect discovered the problem with the Elephant Armor Sect on its own.

Moreover, according to the Wind Sword Sect, they discovered that the Elephant Armor Sect was problematic because they had planted a spy within the sect, and that spy had died.

The purpose of planting spies was to investigate the movements of the Holy Spirit Cult...

There are two possibilities: one is that the Wind Sword Sect has been infiltrated by the Holy Spirit Cult, and the other is that the Wind Sword Sect is investigating the Holy Spirit Cult.

But Ning Rongrong already said that the Wind Sword Sect has elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

That leaves only one possibility: the Wind Sword Sect has been infiltrated by the Holy Spirit Cult.

It was previously determined internally, and now it's completely confirmed.

Very well, now we can justifiably destroy the sect.

"Sect Leader Feng, it seems that your sect's connection with the Holy Spirit Cult is deeper than we imagined."

Ning Fengzhi's voice was cold, no longer as gentle as before.

"The Holy Spirit Cult?"

Feng Bailong was startled.

How could the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School know about the Holy Spirit Cult?

However, he quickly calmed down.

It's normal for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, to know about the Holy Spirit Sect.

only……

Did he just say "it needs to be deeper"?

Doesn't that mean they themselves suspect that their Wind Sword Sect and Holy Spirit Cult are involved?

So this is their true intention in coming to the Wind Sword Sect!

Upon closer examination, it's highly likely that the Elephant Armor Sect was destroyed because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect discovered its connection with the Holy Spirit Sect.

Feng Bailong quickly figured it all out, and cold sweat poured down his face.

Because he knew that the elder's words in front of the other party, these were sect-specific words with omitted content, which could easily cause misunderstandings.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has clearly misunderstood!

He raised his hand, about to explain.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really wanted to kill them here because of their Wind Sword School's ties with the Holy Spirit Sect, that would be such a great injustice!

He's a spy!

If he were to die now, how could the information about the Holy Spirit Cult be disseminated?

"Sect Leader Ning! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

Feng Bailong's voice trembled noticeably as he hurriedly waved his hands, attempting to explain.

"Our Wind Sword Sect deeply abhors the Holy Spirit Sect! We planted spies precisely to gather evidence of their crimes and report it to the Spirit Hall, thus eliminating this scourge for the continent! As for the Elephant Armor Sect, I..."

His words came to an abrupt end.

Just as he was frantically trying to explain himself and scanning the room for something to prove his innocence, his eyes caught something extremely familiar out of the corner of his eye when he glanced at Ning Rongrong.

That was a token.

On the front of the token, a ferocious-looking face is clearly engraved—

"Seven"

Order from the Seven Elders of the Holy Spirit Cult!

All of Feng Bailong's carefully prepared excuses were shattered at this moment.

His thoughts were also thrown into chaos.

That's it!

I see!!!

The destruction of the Elephant Armor Sect was not due to a surprise attack by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or an extermination by the Spirit Hall!

This is internal turmoil within the Holy Spirit Cult!

It is thanks to this newly appointed Seventh Elder!

Where did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School come to have an exchange of ideas? Where did they come to eliminate evil?

They were clearly acting out of self-interest, for—

This Seventh Elder's selfish motives!

The positions of elders in the Holy Spirit Church are not static.

In addition to being re-ranked according to contributions, the status of a new elder can naturally be elevated if a previous elder dies.

And that is probably their goal!

Even the sect leader's daughter is the Seventh Elder, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is probably already in the hands of the Holy Spirit Sect!

As a result, all three sects fell.

Upon thinking of this, Feng Bailong gasped.

"The mainland is finished."

He murmured.

My explanation just now was probably seen by the other party as a clown's stunt, utterly ridiculous!

Explanation? It's meaningless.

Begging for mercy? That will only hasten your death.

After extreme shock, Feng Bailong's eyes suddenly became lifeless, followed by a surge of almost insane ruthlessness.

"Then, we have no choice but to fight!"

Chapter 143 The Power of the Eye of Truth

"Even if I die here, I will do everything I can to get this message out..."

"Send the message to the Spirit Hall! There might still be hope!"

Feng Bailong raised his head and shouted at the elder from before:

"Quickly inform the Spirit Hall of all this!"

The elder immediately understood; something had gone wrong.

Even though he could sense that something was wrong, he still took a step.

His ability to access matters concerning the Holy Spirit Cult indicates that he holds a relatively high position within the Wind Sword Sect and possesses considerable knowledge of the subject.

He gleaned a great deal of information from just one sentence.

This Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has probably become a henchman of the Holy Spirit Cult.

If the sect leader is so nervous, then the situation must be very bad.

He was probably already prepared to sacrifice himself.

"Yes!"

He had already run to the door, his hand on the doorknob, and responded.

He never thought he would be able to escape successfully.

But don't be afraid!

He's not the only elder in the Wind Sword Sect.

Outside the council chamber, there were other elders.

His task was to get the message out!

He opened the door, his mouth agape:

"Pass……"

The word "know" was not finished yet.
