Everybody was soaked in cold sweat after hearing what he said.
Fire Ant slapped the table and rose to his feet. "Yes. This is more like Elder Nether Spring's style! He has always been best at manipulating people, scheming, and backstabbing. But he was completely unconventional when it came to the attack on the Tian Yuan Realm. He devoted a large batch of soldiers of the Nether Spring Kingdom to it almost crazily. That was almost reckless!
"Before the two of us turned on each other, I asked him about it in private, but he always gave me the excuse of 'eliminating his dissidents'!
"However, in recent decades, he had been in power for so long that even the traditional nobles of the Nether Spring Kingdom, including Master Hollow Wind, did not have the courage to object to his face. What 'dissidents' did he have to eliminate?
"At that time, I was too busy with the construction of the Blade of Chaos to think about it. But today, I've finally figured it out!
"Elder Nether Spring regarded the strength of the Nether Spring Kingdom as nutrition to water the seeds of his ambitions. Part of the seeds was the Nether World Watch, and the other part was the Children of the Nether World, which were even more dreadful!
"The failure of the beast tide invasions seriously drained the strength of the Nether Spring Kingdom, but the Children of the Nether World that he planted in the Heaven's Origin Sector earned enough military credits to infiltrate the federal army and the core leadership of the major sects!
Han Tuhu suddenly trembled as if he had contracted malaria.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Han Tuhu took a deep breath and said, "Something suddenly occurred to me.
"The 'Battle of Dawn' two years ago was the first large-scale attack of the Blood Demon Sector on the Tian Yuan Realm. The regular troops of the Nether Spring Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lion Butchers were mobilized and almost swept the entire Grand Desolate Plateau.
"Of course, the Coalition Army of Demons failed in the end.
"On the surface, it seemed that the failure was caused by the mutiny of the low-level demons in the frontline, but in fact … The Union Army was preparing to implement the 'Giant Crab Plan' to cut off our retreat and swallow the invading Coalition Army of Demons!
"In other words, whether or not there is an unexpected mutiny, the Coalition Army of Demons will suffer a crushing defeat in this battle!"
"The Coalition Army of Demons suffered a crushing defeat. This is the glorious victory of the Xing Yao Federation. The Federation hasn't had such a great victory in more than a hundred years. After the victory, it's only natural that they will be rewarded according to their contributions. "
"Then, how many 'distinguished' officers and Cultivators will climb to a higher position to deal with the war to come? Will a few Children of the Nether World be among them?"
This was a question that no one could answer. It was also a question that made one's heart turn cold.
"Don't forget that there is still the most dreadful 'Abyss'!"
Suo Chaolong gnashed his teeth. "As for the other Children of the Nether World, as long as they took action and delivered intelligence to Elder Nether Spring, they must've left traces behind. We will have a chance to find them all!"
"But this' Abyss', according to Lu Wuxin, did not deliver any intelligence to Elder Nether World. He had never sent any intelligence to Elder Nether Spring or done anything to jeopardize the interests of the federation. On the surface, he seems to be the most standard Cultivator who does his duty dutifully, slays evil, and defends the country! "
"Moreover. Elder Nether Spring will certainly 'take care' of this' Abyss'. He will create countless conditions for him so that he can earn tremendous military credits easily and grow into an influential person in the Federation! "
"Chances are that this' Abyss' is already a great hero that everybody in the Federation knows. If he holds an important post in the central agency, he will be able to influence the policies of the Federation! "
"Without any clues or substantial evidence, how can such a dreadful 'Abyss' be dug out?"
Seeing that everybody was more and more hesitant, Li Yao sorted through his thoughts quickly and stood up. "Thankfully, we have grasped part of the intelligence that the Children of the Nether World sent back. As long as the intelligence is delivered to the leadership of the Federation in time for comprehensive analysis, we will be able to fish up most of the Children of the Nether World once and for all!
"The damage of the incident may not be as great as we imagine. After all, Elder Nether Spring couldn't have discovered the 'Divine Water of Chaos' more than a hundred years ago. It means that the Yuanying monsters in the Federation who are more than a hundred years old are certainly not Children of the Nether World!
"As long as we can find the Yuanying monsters and convince them of the authenticity of the intelligence, the problem will be solved!
"As for 'Abyss', although there is no evidence, it is still possible to find a suspect with simple deduction!"
Li Yao smiled and said confidently, "First of all, Elder Nether Spring couldn't have known that he would carry out the Spore Stratagem in the future. At that time, he only sent out the Children of the Nether World for smuggling and intelligence. It is unlikely that he would bother to raise an 'Abyss' that he had been lurking for decades, right?"
Everybody nodded.
Li Yao said casually, "It was not until Elder Nether Spring controlled the Nether Spring Kingdom and began to develop the 'Demon God Virus' and came up with the 'Spore Stratagem' that he realized the importance of spies and sent out 'Abyss'. It was about thirty to fifty years ago.
"Hehe. In that case, everything will be simple!
"In the past thirty to fifty years, was there any new superstar in the Xing Yao Federation who suddenly rose to prominence? Preferably, a guy whose parents were both dead, who had no background but whose capability soared after a series of fortuitous encounters, making him as unbelievable as the main character of a novel?
"Right. The guy's position is not necessarily very high, but he can influence the situation of the Federation to some extent. Besides, it is very likely that he received the secret arts of the ancient Cultivators from forty thousand years ago from the relics of Chaos from Elder Nether Spring. Therefore, he must be an expert of the ancient Cultivation arts!
"Whoever fulfills these conditions will be Abyss!"
Li Yao bashed the table and declared resolutely, "Think about it, everybody. Is there such a guy? As long as he is controlled in time, everything will be fine!"
Everybody was greatly enlightened. They nodded quickly and thought hard about the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector who met the requirements.
A moment later, everybody raised their head almost at the same time. Their thoughtful eyes were all focused on Li Yao.
Cold sweat was popping up on Li Yao's forehead. "Is — is there a problem?"
Jin Xinyue coughed and pulled Li Yao's sleeve. She said in a low voice, "Master, the guy you are talking about. It seems to be you. "
Li Yao blinked his clear eyes. "Is that so?"
"Yes."
Jin Xinyue said. "Your parents passed away when you were little. You were an orphan, and you grew up in the magical equipment graveyard. Nobody could prove your background. Then, you rose miraculously. After only ten years, you climbed into the 'superlative height of Jin Dan', and your combat ability is comparable to that of the Yuanying Cultivators!
"Right. You are also a 'Special Level Federation Hero' right now. You have great influence in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector. You can definitely influence the situation!
"As for the secret arts of the ancient Cultivators, I remember that your arts of refining are based on the ancient Cultivators. You are best known for your 'ancient forging', aren't you?"
"Huh. The more you talk about it, the more likely you are. Think about it, Master. Are you really not Abyss? "
Everybody nodded quickly, but then they shook their heads hard. "Are you kidding me? How can Li Yao be Abyss? If he is Abyss, why did he go through all the trouble to sabotage the Eye of Blood Demon and make the Spore Stratagem fail?
"Besides, jumping to the Flying Star Sector is unpredictable. It was impossible to predict, and the chances of survival were too small. It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible! "
Li Yao scratched his hair and said, "I wish that I were Abyss. Then, when Elder Nether Spring finds me, I can punch his head into pieces and say 'I quit'. Then, all the problems will be solved!"
Everybody was amused by what he said. The tense atmosphere was finally eased.
Fire Ant's antennae were shivering. He found a person from his memory and said, "Li Yao can't be Abyss. I have a better candidate here!
"She was born on the Grand Desolate Plateau. She lost her parents in the 'beast tide outbreak' when she was little. She hates the demons as much as the ocean. She is also a genius in training. She used to be one of the youngest Building Foundation Stage Cultivators in the Federation. After a lot of fortuitous events in the past ten years, her capability soared. Right now, she is the youngest Jin Dan in the Federation. She is the best expert of the younger generation and the idol of thousands of young people!
"She has been traveling on the Grand Desolate Plateau since ten years ago. Even when the Union Army was retreating and the 'scorched earth strategy' was implemented on the Grand Desolate Plateau, she still went deep into the Grand Desolate Plateau on her own and engaged in guerilla warfare and hunting when there were no supply points!
"Unpredictable traces, aggressive tactics, brutal style, and ruthless style. Many demons were scared out of their wits. They even made a name for themselves within the federation!"
"It is said that many Yuanying experts thought highly of her and taught her everything they knew. Before Li Yao returned, she had been built as an 'image project' by the government of the Federation. She was a well-acknowledged 'hero of the Federation'!
"She is Ding Ling Dong, the captain of the First Assault Team of the Grand Desolate Legion and known as' Blazing Tyrannosaur '!"
Suo Chaolong's eyes bulged, with fear beaming out of his eyes. "It's true that the fiend is the bane of the demon race on the Grand Desolate Plateau. Her brutality and brutality are enough to make any demon shudder! Many demons said before the expedition that they would rather fight the Crystal Suit Legions of the Federation head-on than run into 'Blazing Tyrannosaur'!
"Just by hearing her nickname, you can tell how cruel she is! Ten years ago, she was known as' Fiery Sorceress'. But after witnessing her brutality, all the demons said that she was not a woman at all but a tyrannosaur. Therefore, they called her 'Blazing Tyrannosaur'! "
"…" Li Yao.
"However," the Fire Ant said, "her background does not seem to be a problem. One of her parents is an officer of the Union Army, and the other is a teacher of the Grand Desolate War Institution. Her background is clear."
"Her background can be faked," Suo Chaolong said. "Didn't her parents die in a beast tide when she was young, and she was the only survivor? Chances are that the real Ding Ling Dong was already dead at that time, and the fake Ding Ling Dong snuck in! "
"Now that you mention it, it is indeed very likely," the Fire Ant said. "This' Blazing Tyrannosaur 'is the firmest hawk of the younger generation of the Federation. She has been yelling that she is going to raze the Blood Demon Sector to the ground day and night. A lot of young Cultivators have gathered around her, and they are all very fanatical. They have formed a force that cannot be underestimated! If you ask me who is most likely to hinder the peace talks in the Federation, she must be at the top of the list! She is indeed capable of influencing the policies of the Federation! "
"That's right!"
