A traitor?
Everyone stared at each other in confusion. They had no idea what the Yellow Emperor was talking about.
The Yellow Emperor looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and explained, "Ye Lantian did not betray us."
"I already knew that Yinshi had ulterior motives and was eyeing the position of the alliance leader. That was why I arranged for Lan Tian to collude with him and set up such a trap to make him reveal himself."
The Yellow Emperor's explanation was not convincing. Zhao Tieshan asked in confusion, "But alliance leader, if that's really the case, you could have killed Yinshi on Lord Peak just now. Why did Sacred Lord Ye interfere?"
The Yellow Emperor glanced at him and suddenly said meaningfully, "This involves my other purpose … This purpose is more important than Yinshi's betrayal."
"This purpose is also the reason why I have no choice but to put away my killing intent and spare Yinshi's life."
Purpose?
Everyone continued to ask, and the Yellow Emperor finally revealed his true purpose.
"Do you still remember Feng Wuhen who appeared in the Shura Realm?" the Yellow Emperor asked.
Everyone nodded. Although some of them had not been involved in this matter, they had heard about it from the other sect leaders.
Back then, Feng Wuhen had fought against the Yellow Emperor and Crimson Dragon by himself. In the end, he had left the Shura Realm because a mysterious person had opened a spatial vortex to let them leave.
According to their investigation during this period of time, they discovered that there seemed to be a hidden organization behind Feng Wuhen.
They did not know the members of this organization for the time being, but according to the three members that they had revealed: Thunder Lord Feng Wuhen, Blazing Demon Fen Yu, and Yaksha Sea Demon Po Hun.
These three were famous wanted criminals in the Divine Realm who had committed all kinds of crimes.
Based on this, perhaps one of the criteria for this organization to recruit members was to be a wanted criminal or a villain who had committed all kinds of crimes.
"Tomorrow, I will issue a bounty for Yinshi and Lan Tian to become wanted criminals." The Yellow Emperor explained, "This way, Lan Tian can join this organization as a wanted criminal and investigate its true secrets."
"I also know the name of this organization. It's called the Tomb!"
This was the Yellow Emperor's true goal. This "tomb" made him extremely fearful.
It wasn't because Feng Wuhen had stolen Shura's corpse. It was because this organization had appeared out of the blue and was incredibly mysterious.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious in every battle.
Now, the Yellow Emperor was very interested in this tomb, so he wanted to use this technique to get Ye Lantian to go undercover.
It was precisely because of this that he had to protect Yinshi's life.
After all, outsiders would definitely know about what happened on Lord Peak today. Once Yinshi died, Mu might suspect Ye Lantian's true motive.
"Alliance Master, the deaths of the five Founding Elders …" Wei Yan asked cautiously. Could the deaths of the five Founding Elders have been arranged by the Yellow Emperor?
The Yellow Emperor frowned and said in a low voice, "Boss Yuan's death was an accident!"
"I didn't expect Yinshi to be so ruthless. He didn't even spare Boss Yuan's men."
"If I knew about this first, I would have killed Yinshi at all costs!"
"My condolences!" Everyone advised. They were all infected by the Yellow Emperor's anger.
However, what they did not know was that Ye Lantian's "betrayal" actually had three goals.
The first goal was to lure out the traitor, Yinshi.
The second goal was to investigate the tomb.
The third goal was to get rid of the five Founding Elders!
The Yellow Emperor had used Yinshi to get rid of the five Founding Elders.
Although the five Founding Elders' cultivation levels were not high, they had a prominent position in the Sacred Alliance. Even the Yellow Emperor could not hide the truth from them. In terms of power, they were restricting the Yellow Emperor, preventing him from truly controlling the Sacred Alliance.
In fact, ever since the Yellow Emperor took the position of Alliance Master, he had already wanted to kill the five Founding Elders.
However, due to his identity, he had not made a move and had been enduring it all this time.
Moreover, when he took over the position of Alliance Master, he had also signed a Bloodline Contract with the five Founding Elders.
This Bloodline Contract was extremely domineering. It made it impossible for him, a half-step Emperor Wu, to make a move against the five Founding Elders. Otherwise, he would suffer a serious backlash.
For many reasons, the Yellow Emperor had used Yinshi's hands to get rid of the five Founding Elders.
From today onwards, he would be able to truly dominate the Sacred Alliance.
"Lord Alliance Master, were the three parties' upheavals also your doing?" Wei Yan asked.
The Yellow Emperor replied, "The Divine Beast, the Anti-Union Religion, and Lin Yun's prison break were all part of Yinshi's plan. I was just beating him at his own game."
At this point, the Yellow Emperor remembered something and asked, "How's Lin Yun's current situation?"
Although Ye Lantian had already told the Yellow Emperor about Yinshi's arrangement for Lin Yun's prison break, the Yellow Emperor still did not want Lin Yun to succeed.
After all, there were too many secrets hidden on Lin Yun. Even the Yellow Emperor was very interested in these secrets.
"Lin Yun has already escaped from the Mantle Prison. Someone just reported that Lin Yun killed the sword rain. Not only did he rescue Alchemist Murong, but …" Wei Yan did not dare to continue.
The Yellow Emperor's expression changed. He roughly knew what the consequences would be if Alchemist Murong was rescued, but he was still unwilling to give up. "And what?"
"And more than a hundred puppet guards … All of them were snatched away by Lin Yun." Wei Yan's words made the Yellow Emperor furious.
Not long after, everyone in the Holy Region Mountain Range could hear the angry roar coming from the Lord's Peak.
"Lin Yun, I swear I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"
Lin Yun would never have thought that the person he should thank for being able to escape from the Mantle Prison was the traitor of the Sacred Alliance, Yinshi.
Whether it was the Anti-Union Religion in the South or the Divine Beast in the West, they were all done by Yinshi.
At first, Ye Lantian did not agree because he knew how much the Yellow Emperor valued Lin Yun. The Yellow Emperor wanted to know the secrets of Lin Yun.
Moreover, the things that Lin Yun had done were enough to kill him tens of thousands of times.
However, Yinshi had insisted that the plan would be more appropriate if the three parties rebelled.
In order not to arouse Yinshi's suspicion, Ye Lantian could only follow Yinshi's orders.
Even though Lin Yun was imprisoned on the third floor of the Mantle Prison, Ye Lantian believed that Lin Yun had no way of escaping from the Mantle Prison.
However, he had miscalculated.
