Chapter 733 Enemy At The Door.
?Amelia ordered Flower Sword to message that someone was in the shadows. She was sure of it because the raids went smoothly. It was too smooth. If not for her experience, she would not have noticed this face.
Ying Yu asked, "Sect Mistress, what did you detect?"
Amelia smiled and said, "Before I reveal the finds, seal the sect, and everyone in this room must take a heavenly oath that they have never divulged the secrets of the recent meetings to any outsider. I am only doing this to ensure we can trust each other completely."
Flower Sword frowned and asked, "Sect Mistress, do you mean that there is someone among us who betrayed the sect?"
Amelia nodded, and the people gasped. The young sect mistress continued, "Edler, it is not that the traitor is among us in this room. It could be anyone. That I have not yet been attacked for revealing this confirms the conjecture. However, we still need to ensure that our chain has no weak links."
The people discussed each other. Amelia was completely on her toes at this time. If there were any movement that endangered her, she would attack with everything she had and die trying to kill the traitor.
Ying Yu sighed and said, "What do you people have to think so much for? Are we sisters so weak? Then I will take the first oath."
The women were all surprised when they watched Ying Yu swear a heavenly oath. She managed to come out alive from it, and Amelia followed her. Flower Sword was the third, and slowly, all the elders and the seven legacy disciples took the same oath.
Amelia said, "One of the people among the raiders is likely to be the traitor. I suspect they leaked the information to the enemy in the shadows." New novel chapters are published on
A legacy disciple asked, "Why do you think so?"
Amelia replied, "Senior Sister Mel, there are too many variables in such raids, even after the rehearsals and the experience. We cannot narrow down the risk to zero. I am not saying that someone must die. However, you all have witnessed. Do you think these raiders found the gist of such attacks in just their first incursion, and they were smooth?"
Mel thought about it. She looked at the spiritual screen and said, "Now that you mention it. Even if the enemy was surprised, they must have reacted somehow. The fights they put up were not desperate enough. They accepted deaths a bit too easily."
Amelia nodded and said, "Correct, that is the reason behind my conjecture. Elder Flower Sword, please ask the Immortal Empresses to search the cities with their spiritual senses to look for spaces they cannot detect completely and prepare me a list."
Flower Sword nodded, and Ying Yu remarked, "You suspect the enemy is hiding in plain sight. You want us to get them in a surprise attack?"
Tian Long shook his head, and the lady said, "We both met by coincidence and rushed in an ambush while chasing a heavenly herb. Shi Lang did not stand to gain anything from that herb, but I did. He secured the herb and garnered hatred from Sun Zhuling. When we were attacked, he saved me by taking on the fatal attack. He used his most precious life-saving card at that time.
Although he never said it, I knew that in the attack, he suffered damage to his spirit foundation. You came and saved me, but the one who paid the price was him. After that fight, I realized he meant it when he called me Yue Jie."
Tian Long nodded and said, "He never had a family in that life. Thus, he clung to people even if it were to be hated."
As he said that, Tian Long held Moon Jade's slender palm. The lady said, "I wonder if I would ever be able to make up for the things he did. If not for that injury, he would not have been stuck in the lower realm to the point where the spiritual energy was exhausted. Maybe he could have become an Immortal Sovereign by now?"
Tian Long took a deep breath and said, "Do not worry. If he found that you blame yourself for it, he would not like it. He is here now, is he not?"
The lady sighed as she fell silent. Shi Lang's figure suddenly came to stand still. Tian Long had been observing him and leaned forward. He said, "He came up with something."
The next moment, he spotted a shallow phantom of a fist shooting through the void. The sovereign smiled and said, "He touched upon the unity of man and heaven."
Raksha's phantom appeared beside him, saying, "Indeed, your eyes are still sharp as ever."
Tian Long raised his chin and said, "I just hope he does not waste his chance like this."
Raksha chuckled and said, "You need to stop looking at him with the glasses of mundanity on your nose."
Tian Long was confused, but the next moment, he spotted the spiritual energy around Shi Lang, which began to spin and condense into a vortex. The energy was pouring into his body.
He waved his hand and cast a barrier as he yelled, "Seal the Pavilion!!!"
The Pavilion was already sealed, but even the spiritual energy was now sealed. Zither Soul said, "We will guard him."
Raksha nodded and said, "Hmmm, you can, but what will you do about those two who just arrived in the city?"
Tian Long said, "I will handle them. Do not worry."
Raksha nodded and said, "If they make a move, I will remove their heads. Regardless of the consequences."
Tian Long nodded when a loud voice reverberated in the pavilion, "Inner Sect Elder, Tie Gang of the Titan Sect seeks an audience with His Excellency Heavenly Dragon."
