Ch 483: Exposing Their Identities
Xuan Leshan could be certain that the territory’s earth veins in his hands were genuine.
The Ruler of the Nation had absolutely no need to deceive them; doing so would not benefit the Ruler, but instead would put Lord Xuan Hu in the Divine Palace in even greater danger.
Then there was only one possibility at present.
The so-called Fourth Elder before them was simply lying.
But why would he lie? It was clearly a matter that was beneficial to the Divine Palace and beneficial to their Human Race.
Xuan Leshan was completely baffled by this.
Looking at the Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples poised to strike, Xuan Leshan stared intently at Gou Xiangming, took a deep breath, and spoke.
“If you, sir, do not believe that the earth veins are genuine, you can certainly arrange personnel to monitor us. Once we arrive at the Divine Palace, the truth will be self-evident.”
With so many Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples present, and this being the Eastern Imperial Palace’s territory, if a fight broke out, they would undoubtedly die.
Xuan Leshan could only lower his head in utter humiliation to the other party. As long as Lord Xuan Hu could be successfully redeemed, it would all be worthwhile.
Upon hearing this, Wei Dongchen and the other Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples were slightly taken aback, a flash of surprise crossing their eyes.
This was the first time they had seen the Demon Race adopt such a humble stance towards their Human Race.
“Nonsense! Who knows if you will disregard your own lives once you reach the Divine Palace, only to worsen the situation there? The Divine Palace is already in a precarious state with the current natural disaster. If you were to resort to your Demon Race’s despicable tactics at this time, it would only add insult to injury, leading to complete collapse. Is that your intention?!”
Gou Xiangming narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and placed his long sword horizontally in front of him.
“As for whether these earth veins are genuine or fake, and whether you have any other dangerous things on your person, I will personally check once I kill you.”
Gou Xiangming looked at Wei Dongchen and the other disciples, and commanded: “Kill them!”
The words fell.
He swung his long sword violently, the sword blade trembling for an instant.
Immediately, the radiance burst forth, a gray sword Qi surging from the sword edge, transforming into a terrifying sword radiance that directly crushed towards the group of Demon Race in front of him.
At that moment.
A similarly terrifying sword Qi appeared abruptly, directly striking the gray sword Qi.
Bang!
The terrifying might stacked together, the two sword Qi colliding, grinding against each other, and finally turning into nothingness.
“Hmm?”
Gou Xiangming followed the direction of the sword Qi, and upon seeing Su Nianyi amongst the crowd, his expression was one of surprise.
“Shen Nian, why are you stopping me?”
He originally planned to directly engage the other Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples to kill these demonic beasts, and incidentally destroy the earth veins, thus leaving no evidence.
Not only could he complete the task assigned by his superior, but he could also cover up the loopholes in this matter.
However, he never expected that this newly joined Eastern Imperial Palace disciple would actually stop him.
Su Nianyi walked calmly from the crowd, looked at Gou Xiangming, and said calmly.
“Your calculations are quite good, but unfortunately, I am here, and you cannot succeed.”
The spy she found in the Eastern Imperial Palace was Gou Xiangming.
Although he appeared to be the least suspicious on the surface, she had substantial evidence, and could be absolutely certain that Gou Xiangming was the spy.
And at this moment, she finally understood why Gou Xiangming had made such a show of summoning disciples to patrol the borderline.
It was because of the earth veins in the possession of these Demon Race.
As a spy, Gou Xiangming was naturally opposed to the Human Race. His eagerness to kill these Demon Race was certainly to prevent the earth veins from falling into the hands of the Divine Palace.
Therefore, she naturally could not let him succeed.
“Junior Sister, what are you doing?”
Wei Dongchen looked at Su Nianyi with a puzzled expression, his tone full of confusion.
The other disciples were the same.
The Fourth Elder was about to strike down the demons, yet Shen Nian was stopping him. This was even more inexplicable than the Demon Race’s actions just now.
They only felt that the situation was becoming increasingly confusing, and they could no longer see clearly.
If it had been the Demon Race who had acted, they would have taken action immediately. However, it was their Junior Sister standing before them. Everyone was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to proceed.
As for Xuan Leshan and the other Demon Race, they were also completely dumbfounded.
Why would this Eastern Imperial Palace disciple help them to counteract that sword Qi?
“I think you’ve been deluded by some special spirit treasures used by those demonic beasts. You’re even capable of saying such things.”
Gou Xiangming narrowed his eyes, his facial expression unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
The words Shen Nian spoke might not be understood by the surrounding disciples, but to his ears, they were like a heavy hammer, striking his heart hard.
Could it be that Shen Nian knew his identity as a traitor? Otherwise, how could she say such things?
Gou Xiangming didn’t expect that before he had dealt with the Demon Race, a new problem had appeared.
Thinking of this, Gou Xiangming felt that time was pressing. He should first subdue this disruptive Shen Nian and then quickly kill these Demon Race.
By then, no matter what Shen Nian said, it would be useless.
An incredibly sharp sword Qi shot out from his long sword, carrying boundless might, and rushed towards Su Nianyi.
“Fourth Elder!” Wei Dongchen and the other disciples did not expect that the Fourth Elder would attack his Junior Sister without a word.
By the time they reacted, the sword Qi had already reached Su Nianyi, only a hair’s breadth away.
However, Su Nianyi stood motionless on the spot, merely glancing lightly at the sword Qi.
The next moment, Jing Yuxianting appeared in her hand, wielded with a gentle wave.
In an instant, a radiance suddenly bloomed on the sword edge.
Accompanying it was a sword light as vast as Heavenly Might that instantly appeared.
Colliding with the sword Qi, in an instant, it crushed the sword Qi, and then, undiminished in might, it rushed towards Gou Xiangming.
“This is…”
Gou Xiangming’s pupils shrank, his heart greatly shaken. Without thinking, he swung his long sword, continuously releasing several sharp sword Qi, before finally grinding the sword light to nothingness.
“Who are you?!”
Gou Xiangming shouted, ignoring the dust clinging to him, his figure disheveled as he gripped his long sword with both hands, staring intently at Su Nianyi.
The sword light just now had been too terrifying!
This was not something a newly joined Eastern Imperial Palace disciple could wield, unless she wasn’t Shen Nian at all. Only that could explain it!
At this time, Wei Dongchen and the others were dumbfounded. The Fourth Elder had suddenly attacked his Junior Sister, and yet the Junior Sister had simply casually unleashed a sword strike, instantly defeating the Fourth Elder to such a degree. It truly broadened their vision.
The group of Demon Race led by Xuan Leshan were equally astonished.
However, they were not blinded by the situation; they vaguely sensed something.
Could it be that Gou Xiangming had a problem, and this young girl also had a problem?
Were they playing a game of double agent?
“Who I am is unimportant. What’s important is that your true identity has been revealed to me.”
Su Nianyi’s gaze turned cold as she looked at Gou Xiangming and said, “Isn’t that right, traitor of the Human Race?”
