Chapter 271 - Traitors
Chapter 271: Traitors
“Nothing! Tell me about your situation first!” Bai Zhijing retracted her gaze and said calmly.
She had said it to alert the others, so they were prepared for the upcoming falling out.
“There’s not much to say. We just met a fake Elder Mi and the real Elder Mi was killed. It’s not as exciting as what happened in the main hall.”
“Elder Bai, what did the Patriarch say?”
The other elders stared at Bai Zhijing.
If there were really demon spies among them, and they were really Elder Qin and Elder Huang, then the matter would be very serious.
It was likely that the entire sect would be finished.
“The Patriarch said that two great elders in our sect are demon spies. They cooperated with each other and nurtured many selfish disciples in the sect. Then, they used these disciples to do things that betrayed the interest of the human race. In other words, they turned these disciples into spies of the demon race to work for them.”
As Bai Zhijing said this, she looked at Huang Baichuan again.
Hiss!
“If that’s really the case, the consequences will be disastrous!”
Many elders suddenly raised their heads to look at Huang Baichuan after pondering for a while.
Huang Baichuan’s disciples had a bad reputation in the sect, bullying others.
The Elder Huang’s disciples were truly selfish.
Could it really be them?
Or Elder Bai was just framing them!
The elders looked at Bai Zhijing, and finally, their gazes fell on Elder Huang and Elder Qin.
“Bai Zhijing, are you taking revenge?” Huang Baichuan felt that the atmosphere was not right and said.
“I didn’t even say the names, and you admitted it.” Bai Zhijing sneered.
Now that she thought about how Huang Baichuan had tried to suppress her, and even instigated conflicts between her and many elders, she realized he was truly a traitor.
He had deliberately suppressed people who were loyal to the sect.
“You… HMPH! Whether we are spies of the demon race or not is not based on your words. Do you have proof?”
“What the Patriarch said is the proof.”
“It’s just our words. Where is the Patriarch? Let him come out and tell us in person,” Huang Baichuan said.
“If the Patriarch comes out, do you think you’d still be alive?”
“Bai Zhijing, you are slandering!”
“Look. Why are you so anxious if you’re not a traitor?”
Watching Huang Baichuan jump up like a clown, she believed Patriarch’s words even more.
From beginning to end, everything was under the Patriarch’s watch.
“Junior sister, you said just now that two elders were spies. Who is the other one?” Wang Qian’an asked.
He believed Bai Zhijing’s words.
Actually, it was not difficult.
Elder Huang had never made any great contributions to the sect in all these years.
Sometimes, the things he did were disgusting.
Even he sometimes couldn’t bear to watch it.
It was just that all this time, they had been in the fog and no one pointed it out to them.
Today, after hearing Bai Zhijing’s words, they suddenly realized that there was something wrong with their previous train of thought.
They had tried to find evidence against the spies and use that to deduce who the traitors were.
After hearing Wang Qian’an’s words, all the elders turned their gazes to Elder Qin.
“The other person is of course… Elder Qin.”
“You’re lying!”
Elder Qin seemed to be prepared for this. When Bai Zhijing spoke, he immediately jumped out and pointed at her.
“Humph! You know very well if you’re the spy or not .”
“You’re slandering me!” Elder Qin pointed at Bai Zhijing and cursed. Then, he withdrew his hand and cupped his fists. “Everyone, Bai Zhijing is trying to damp the morale before the great battle. I suspect that she is a demon spy.”
A backstab!
Impressive!
Bai Zhijing sneered.
Things were indeed not as simple as she had thought.
The other elders were dumbstruck.
But after Elder Qin said this, two elders wavered.
That’s right!
On what basis did Bai Zhijing say that these two were spies?
What if she was a spy and deliberately wronged the two elders before the battle began?
Of the two elders she had accused, one was in charge of law enforcement, while the other was in charge of the sect’s safety.
Punishing one of them would cause chaos in the sect, not to mention dealing with them.
“Quibbling!” Bai Zhijing said coldly.
Wang Qian’an took a deep breath and looked at the other elders.
He knew that what Bai Zhijing said was true.
But where was the evidence?
If the Patriarch didn’t show up and speak, everything would have been in vain.
Now even she herself was targeted.
“The great battle is imminent. It’s not a time for internal strife,” an elder said.
“This isn’t internal strife. It’s to weed out the traitors. Elder Jin, now is not the time for making peace,” Bai Zhijing said with a frown.
Now some elders even suspected that this was an internal strife.
Sigh!
How could this be?
Patriarch, please show yourself and speak!
“The current situation is unclear. Since Elder Qin and Elder Huang are suspected to be demon spies, they are temporarily relieved of their duties and locked up. We will make a decision after the battle is over,” Wang Qian’an said.
“Sect master, you are unfair. Elder Bai is also suspected. Why don’t you lock her up?” Elder Qin immediately protested.
“Sect master, I can be locked up too. But, Sect Master, please be fair with us.” Huang Baichuan followed closely.
“Sect master, please enforce the law impartially!”
Another two elders stepped out and cupped their hands.
Wang Qian’an frowned.
It was as he had expected. The two elders had been in the sect for so many years and of course had some friends.
Junior sister had acted recklessly.
But now, there was no time for them to make a plan.
He trusted his junior sister, and she couldn’t have made up the Patriarch’s words.
In times of emergency, he could only resort to extreme measures.
Wang Qian’an glanced at the elders and slowly said, “Just now, the Patriarch sent me a telepathic message saying that Elder Qin and Elder Huang are spies.”
“Sect master, are you sure?” The other elders asked suspiciously.
Why did the Patriarch only sent a telepathic message to the sect master?
“I’m sure!” Wang Qian’an nodded coldly.
At this moment, he had to make a decision, or the sect would definitely fall into chaos.
“Sect master, are you confused too?”
Elder Qin closed his eyes.
He did not expect the sect master to do this.
The Patriarch sent a telepathic message? Then why did he only send it to you?
How much effort would it take to send it to the others?
Boom!
At this moment, the formation above the sect suddenly lit up.
At the same time, countless beams of light rose.
“The demons are attacking the mountain gate!”
Swoosh!
Two figures sped away.
“Elder Qin, Elder Huang, what are you doing?”
The other elders were shocked as the two elders rushed out of the hall.
“The demons of Mount Eternal are attacking. Of course… we are letting the demons in! Hehe!”
What?!
The neutral elders changed their expressions.
It turned out Elder Bai’s words were true.
How could this be?
Wasn’t it personal grudge?
“What are you waiting for? Go get them! We can’t let them do it. Junior sister, take some people and lock up Elder Qin and Elder Huang’s disciples.”
Wang Qian ‘an roared.
He flew out of the hall.
The other elders followed him.
Swoosh!
In just two breaths, Wang Qian’an had caught up with the two elders and blocked their way.
“You two traitors. It’s not too late to surrender now. Don’t forget, I’m already at the half-step of the Semi-god Realm.”
“Haha, We are traitors. So what if you kill us? The demons are attacking and the Mysterious Sky Sect will be destroyed. Your patriarch might no be able to protect himself! Surrender is your only way out.”
Huang Baichuan laughed.
