The trip to Zhongnan Mountains came to an end. Although Ouyang Xiu had ruined their mood in the end, they had still destroyed the branch of the Assassination Society. It could be considered a happy ending.
After the six emperors said goodbye to each other, they rushed back to their respective empires.
Lin Yun followed the Guxilan Emperor back to the Guxilan Empire. He planned to stay in the Guxilan Empire for a while and set off after collecting the soul jade fragments.
On the way back to the Guxilan Empire, Lin Yun suddenly asked the Guxilan Emperor, "You said that you found and destroyed six of Ouyang Xiu's research bases, but in the end, you didn't catch him?"
The Guxilan Emperor nodded. "That's right."
Lin Yun asked again, "Have you thought about why?"
The Guxilan Emperor thought for a while and said, "Ouyang Xiu is very cautious. He definitely wouldn't set up his headquarters in the territory of our six empires."
Lin Yun shook his head and said, "That might be one of the reasons, but it's not the main reason."
"Oh? What do you think is the main reason? "The Guxilan Emperor asked curiously.
The other Guxilan powerhouses were also curious.
Lin Yun continued, "The main reason is that Ouyang Xiu planted a spy in your empire's court."
"And this spy's status is not low. At least he knows your movements at all times and can convey your actions to Ouyang Xiu immediately."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Guxilan Emperor was skeptical. "Are you sure, little brother?"
"Not only am I sure, but I've also roughly guessed who the spy is," Lin Yun said confidently.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Guxilan Emperor and the powerhouses looked at Lin Yun in disbelief. Obviously, they thought that Lin Yun's words were nonsense.
Shangguan Xiayan said, "Our Boss's judgment is very accurate. His words can't be wrong."
"Then, who do you think the informer is?" Despite his disbelief, Gu Xilan still asked curiously.
Lin Yun did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Wang Long, "Tell me in detail about Eunuch Wei and the lieutenant general we've captured."
Hearing Lin Yun suddenly ask such a question, the Ancient Xilan Emperor and Wang Long were dumbfounded. Obviously, they could not figure out what Lin Yun was going to do.
In fact, there was an important reason why Lin Yun asked these questions.
Just now, when Ouyang Xiu's puppet said to Lin Yun, "Your name is Lin Yun, right? I've already remembered you." At the same time, it also used a Yuan Qi voice transmission to Lin Yun. It used a voice that only Lin Yun could hear to say to Lin Yun.
What it meant was, "The demonic dragon bloodline in your body will belong to me sooner or later!"
Lin Yun's heart trembled when he heard those words.
He had clearly not used the power of the demonic dragon bloodline in the battle here. How did Ouyang Xiu know that he had the demonic dragon bloodline?
There was only one truth.
Obviously, someone had leaked Lin Yun's information to Ouyang Xiu.
As for who leaked it, Lin Yun didn't even need to think about it to guess.
This was because Lin Yun had displayed the power of the demonic dragon bloodline in public in the Ancient Xilan capital.
Therefore, the person who leaked the information must have been someone present at that time.
There had been many people present at that time, but most of them were soldiers with no status. Those soldiers with no status couldn't grasp the trends of the Ancient Xilan government and couldn't know where Lin Yun was. Therefore, it was impossible for them to become Ouyang Xiu's informer.
Excluding these people with no status, he could grasp the trends of the government at the same time. The only people present at that time were Wang Long and the gold warlord.
In addition, there was also Eunuch Wei. Although he hadn't been present at that time, he later indirectly learned from Wang Long that Lin Yun had the demonic dragon bloodline.
Ever since Wang Long met Lin Yun, he had been following Lin Yun and was always under Lin Yun's surveillance. Therefore, he could be eliminated as a suspect.
In that case, the only suspects left were the gold warlord and Eunuch Wei.
For the time being, Lin Yun wasn't sure which of the two was the informer. Therefore, he asked Wang Long about their lives and backgrounds so that he could finally determine which of them was Ouyang Xiu's informer.
Although he was puzzled as to why Lin Yun was asking this, Wang Long still told Lin Yun all the information he knew about the two of them.
Eunuch Wei had entered the palace at a young age and met the Ancient Xilan Emperor. They had become good brothers on the martial arts platform.
At that time, the Ancient Xilan Emperor had been very respectful and even obsessed with martial arts. He had looked for the palace experts every day to learn from each other.
The palace experts knew that the Ancient Xilan Emperor had a noble status and were afraid that they would accidentally hurt him. Therefore, they didn't dare to fight him seriously and deliberately lost to him every time.
Only the young and ignorant Eunuch Wei had dared to fight him seriously at that time, allowing him to experience the thrill of fighting.
That was why the two of them, who had different identities, had become good brothers.
It was also because of this that Eunuch Wei had become the most popular person in the imperial court.
Judging from Eunuch Wei's experience, it was unlikely that he would betray the Ancient Xilan Emperor. The Ancient Xilan Emperor wouldn't believe that he would.
Compared to Eunuch Wei's experience, the lieutenant general who had been held hostage by Julia was much more suspicious.
The lieutenant general's name was Zhou Shaohua. He was born in a poor family in a small city. He was born ordinary and had mediocre qualifications.
He had been in the army for 10 years. When he had first entered the army, he was just an unknown captain.
In the 10 years that he had been in the army, his cultivation and strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. He had constantly surpassed the generals who were more talented than him. He had also made great contributions on the battlefield and had now reached the position of lieutenant general.
His growth and struggle experience were incredible to many people. It was like a miracle.
However, in Lin Yun's opinion, it was very suspicious.
It was impossible for a person with poor cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds for no reason. Unless that person was supported by a strong backer.
The person who supported Zhou Shaohua was obviously Ouyang Xiu, who had mastered cutting-edge technology.
It must have been Ouyang Xiu's private support for Zhou Shaohua that he had bribed Zhou Shaohua to become his informant and let Zhou Shaohua work for him.
After confirming that Zhou Shaohua was Ouyang Feng's informant, Lin Yun told the Ancient Xilan Emperor his speculation.
After hearing Lin Yun's conjecture, the Ancient Xilan Emperor and Wang Long felt as if they had been hit in the head.
"The rise of Zhou Shaohua is very suspicious. I should have thought of this long ago!" Wang Long patted his head and said regretfully.
