“what?”
everyone present was startled. did they really have spies amongst them?
the dragonblood warriors came to a sudden understanding. no wonder this sudden attack had felt so strange. even now, they didn’t know how their enemies had managed to find them.
the dragonblood warriors were closer than brothers, so they hadn’t considered this possibility. now everyone was filled with indignation.
“i’m sorry. i, zhang zhengfeng, can only use my death to apologize.”
suddenly, one person walked out. upon seeing him, quite a few people were shocked. those people were rather familiar with him.
“zhang zhengfeng, you... you... how could you do this to your sect? what about senior apprentice-sister lingshan’s trust?!” one of his close friends pointed his sword at him, his eyes red. it was precisely due to how close they were that he was unable to accept this.
zhang zhengfeng bitterly smiled. “all those things are meaningless now. no excuse can make up for my sin.” he then suddenly knelt toward long chen. “senior apprentice-brother long chen, i entrust everything to you.”
zhang zhengfeng slammed his own head with his hand, and his body collapsed. he had shattered his soul.
“you fool, why?!” the disciple who had pointed his sword at him openly wept.
“zhang zhengfeng was a man. but there are some who are really despicable.” long chen suddenly pointed his finger.
one person in the crowd twitched. before he could say anything though, his head was pierced by a lightning arrow.
“senior apprentice-brother long chen-!”
another person tried to speak, but long chen snorted. now it was too late.
another lightning arrow flew out, killing him.
“there were a total of four traitors. one of them was killed in the chaos. of the remaining three, one could count as a man and admitted his sins. he can count as having atoned. those who know them should gather their corpses for their families,” said long chen.
“boss, what is going on?” asked a dragonblood warrior.
“when i killed the ringleaders, i investigated a portion of their memories in their fragmented souls. so i knew about the traitors, but i can’t blame them. their families were being used as hostages to control them. if the person you cared the most had their life in someone else’s hand, what would you choose? so this matter can end here. as for them, you can tell their families that they died in a battle between the righteous and corrupt paths. after all, in the eyes of their families, they are their pride. but for us, although we can sympathize, we cannot forgive them. death is their best choice,” said long chen helplessly.
these traitors had caused thousands of deaths. but while they felt immense hatred for them, people were unable to fully blame them. if their positions were switched, what would they choose?
“don’t say anything. eat this pill first. its medicinal energy will temporarily stay within your souls, but don’t activate it. once you activate it, it will destroy the curse, and that might be sensed by the other side. we’ll have to beat them at their own game. as for your families, don’t worry. as long as we’re alive, no one will dare to touch them,” said long chen.
he hadn’t expected there to be seventeen people here being controlled, so he distributed medicinal pills to them. this kind of spiritual curse was unable to cause him any trouble.
at that time, the other two close groups arrived. long chen once more explained, and another batch of experts stepped forward for him to give them medicinal pills.
in order to be safe, long chen unleashed his spiritual pressure and questioned whether or not there were more traitors. as a result, two people were unable to endure the pressure and cracked. they were immediately killed by long chen.
those people weren’t being controlled; they were true spies. there was no need to keep them. their souls had restrictions that would cause their souls to shatter if they were investigated.
the four groups were now united, with two thousand dragonblood warriors and one hundred and eighty thousand experts of the martial heaven alliance. although they didn’t have any top experts guiding them, they were no longer worried about an attack.
“join our compasses together to spread the word,” said long chen.
it went without saying that xia chen and guo ran were geniuses. their compasses could be linked together by multiple users to be able to sense others better. it could even transmit some simple information.
the fact that there were traitors made long chen sigh inside. it seemed that ye lingshan hadn’t done a good enough job. or perhaps the people that she entrusted felt that others would also be sincere.
however, in such a giant group, who could guarantee that no one had been bought? even if that wasn’t the case, it didn’t represent that everyone was of one heart.
long chen hadn’t had time to deal with such a thing, nor had he thought that ye lingshan would make such a mistake. as a result, things were going badly.
originally, long chen was planning on using the tools that the spies were using to sniff them all out, but he found that the other side was very crafty. he was unable to sense where their enemies were, as the communication tools that they had were only one way and used for sending information to their enemies.
“whatever. wasting time with the weaklings isn’t worth it.” long chen shook his head. if they just waited around, they would waste too much time. hunting down their ambushers would use up too much of their valuable time here.
they did their best to transmit the information as far as possible, but it was unknown if it was received. those people only had one compass that was unable to reply to them at such a distance. it was up to luck.
“curious. if they didn’t enter at the same time as us, why would they appear here?” asked one person suspiciously.
“do they have maps? they were looking for a specific spot, and they just happened to run into us?”
“that’s not likely, right? no one has a map of the star field divine world.”
“a map?” long chen nodded. “the martial heaven alliance doesn’t have, but perhaps ancient existences like the everlasting families possess some information. however, there is one power in particular that has a complete map of the star field divine world.”
“the divine families?”
everyone’s expressions changed. could it be...?
