She had just demanded an explanation from Miao Yi, and in the blink of an eye, she was vouching for Miao Yi. The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.
This was especially true for Mu Fanjun's group of five. They were caught unprepared by Jin Man's conclusion. This turn of events had truly exceeded their expectations. The show had just begun, but it had already been decisively cut off. What was going on?
Even Miao Yi couldn't wrap his head around it, let alone them.
However, the situation was very obvious. The root cause of the change appeared after Shi Yunbian used the star bell to contact someone. After that, everyone also noticed that Shi Yunbian was communicating with Jin Man through voice transmission. Everyone also saw the shock on Jin Man's face.
They couldn't help but wonder who it was that contacted Shi Yunbian. How could Jin Man ignore Miao Yi's identity as a rebel?
However, as soon as she said this, the Five Sages couldn't sit still anymore. They really couldn't stay calm anymore.
They had already thoroughly offended Miao Yi. It could even be said that they had pushed Miao Yi onto the path of certain death. If they couldn't restrain Miao Yi now, they would have truly offended him. Their disciples and daughters were all Miao Yi's wives and concubines.
To put it bluntly, all five of them had hostages in Miao Yi's hands. With Miao Yi's influence on Heaven's Origin Planet, a single order from him would be enough to take the lives of their daughters and disciples. It wasn't a big deal for him to take the lives of their daughters and disciples. Killing them directly would be the end of it. At most, they would call it even. They were just afraid that Miao Yi would later tell them that they had betrayed him. How could they, the elders who had ignored their daughters and disciples for the rest of their lives, endure that?
Their original plan was to take this opportunity to restrain Miao Yi. They wouldn't give him any chance to contact the outside world. Then, they would completely hide the cause of Miao Yi's death. Who knew that such a turn of events would happen? Their sure-win plan was cut in half before it even began. It was truly hard to accept.
Especially Mu Fanjun, who had taken the lead. She couldn't accept this sudden turn of events. She was the one who had offended Miao Yi the most. She immediately stood up and questioned Jin Man with a cold expression, "General Jin, do you know what you're saying? If we allow the rebel's spy to infiltrate our core, it is very likely that the Six Paths Army will be annihilated. Don't tell me you don't know the grave consequences. "
Miao Yi raised an eyebrow and stared at her coldly.
Jin Man shook her head and said, "I can confirm that our Sacred Lord is not a spy for the rebels."
After all, Mu Fanjun was the Divine Lord of the Immortal Dao. She had no control over the Boundless Dao. In fact, the authority of the Boundless Dao was still in Jin Man's hands. As long as Jin Man did not agree to deal with Miao Yi, the other five Daos would have to think twice. Otherwise, if internal strife were to occur, it would be the Six Daos who would lose their strength. Under the current circumstances, the Six Daos could not afford such a loss.
Seeing that she couldn't convince Jin Man, Mu Fanjun turned her head to look at General Zhangsun Ju, giving him a meaningful look.
Zhangsun Ju understood what she meant. She wanted him to step forward. He immediately said, "Jin Man, let's not make a decision in such a hurry. Why don't we find out if he is Niu Youde, the Great Commander of the Heavenly Street of the Heaven's Origin Sector? If he isn't, we can apologize to him in person and prove your Saint Lord's innocence. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
Jin Man frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she transmitted her voice and replied, "Zhangsun Ju, I'm afraid you won't believe what I say. There's nothing to doubt about this. Just now, the rebel's spy sent us a message. If you want to know the reason, why don't you ask your side to contact the spy on the rebel's side? You will naturally know the reason."
Back then, when Miao Yi left behind the method to contact the spy, she did so in order to prevent any accidents from happening. For example, if someone died in battle, there was a high chance that they would lose contact with the spy. Hence, the six Great Generals — Shi Yunbian, Leng Zhuoqun, Dan Qing, Gui Wu, Chang Hong, and Meng Ru — all had Star Bells on them. On the other hand, the six Great Generals who were trapped at the time didn't.
Zhangsun Ju's expression turned solemn when he heard Jin Man mention the spy. It should be known that whether it was the spy on this side or the spy on this side, they had never been in contact with each other. The spy had also instructed them not to contact him unless they had no other choice.
At this moment, Zhangsun Ju had no choice but to turn around and transmit his voice to Meng Ru, asking her to contact the spy and ask him what was going on.
Meng Ru was a little taken aback, but she still took out Star Bells and contacted the spy on the rebel's side.
"General, we shouldn't let this matter go on any longer. Miao Yi is indeed not a traitor's spy. He's a spy we planted on the traitor's side …" Meng Ru quickly relayed the intentions of the spies to Zhangsun Ju via voice transmission.
Just like Jin Man, Zhangsun Ju was also shocked. He guessed that Jin Man's reaction just now was because the spy had sent an urgent message to stop what had just happened. Wasn't her control a little too frightening to be able to know about the situation here so quickly? Was there anything the spy didn't know about?
Zhangsun Ju calmed down a little and nodded at Meng Ru to indicate that he understood. He then turned to Mu Fanjun and transmitted his voice over, "Sacred Lord, we've confirmed that Miao Yi is indeed not a spy. Let's forget about this matter. Don't continue with this, or else it will be embarrassing for everyone."
Mu Fanjun was furious when she heard this. How could she easily accept the fact that all their efforts had gone to waste at this point? She coldly transmitted her voice back, "Where did you get the information to confirm that he's not a spy sent by the rebel? You haven't even verified his identity as the Great Commander of Heaven's Avenue on Heaven's Origin Planet. How can you be so sure that he's not a spy? As the Sacred Lord of Immortal Dao, I can't treat the lives of millions of my brothers lightly! "
Zhangsun Ju sighed, "Sacred Lord, let me put it this way. Even if we verify Miao Yi's other identity, it will be meaningless. Even if we can confirm it, it will be useless. No one here will believe that he's a spy sent by the rebel." He cut her off with his words and advised her to stop.
Mu Fanjun was moved, but she was even more frustrated. She felt like she had gone for wool and come home shorn. She didn't expect Miao Yi's protective shield to be so strong. Even this couldn't do anything to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who gave you the information that made you so sure?"
Zhangsun Ju hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Sacred Lord, before you are completely integrated with us, we can't tell you who gave you the information."
The spy was too important to the Six Paths Great Army, which was struggling at death's door. There were only a few people in the Six Paths who knew about it, and they wouldn't allow the information to spread. This was not only the order of the person who made the arrangements, but also the Six Paths Great Army wouldn't easily leak it. It was obvious that when the Celestial Court's army attacked Hell, the person who knew the movements of the Celestial Court's army in time must have a high position in the Celestial Court. Once the Celestial Court knew that there was a spy among the upper echelons of the Celestial Court, the Celestial Court would probably conduct a bloodbath to investigate it. Once the spy was found or incited to defect, the threat to the Six Paths Great Army would be too great. It might even directly affect the survival of the Six Paths Great Army.
As a result, before Mu Fanjun and the others were completely integrated into the Six Paths Great Army, such a core secret wouldn't be easily leaked. It was for the sake of survival. If it wasn't for the sake of survival, they wouldn't have accepted Mu Fanjun and the others as Sacred Lords!
These words made Mu Fanjun speechless. She knew in her heart that she couldn't really control this group of people just because she had been the Sacred Lord for a few days. She wasn't mature enough, and she couldn't force them to hand over their core secrets.
She didn't have the chance to do anything to Miao Yi anymore, so Mu Fanjun could only swallow this bitter pill. Without the support of the people here, she couldn't do anything with her strength. She flicked her sleeves, turned around, and strode away without another word. Saying anything more would be equivalent to slapping her own face.
"It's just a misunderstanding. The Six Paths Great Army shares the same fate. The Celestial Sage was also worried about the survival of the Six Paths Great Army, so she did something unnecessary. If I have offended you in any way, I hope the Immeasurable Divine Lord won't take it to heart. Farewell!" Zhangsun Ju cupped his fists at Miao Yi in an apologetic manner, then turned to the Great Generals of the Immortal Dao and gave them a look, meaning that they could talk later. Then, he led them away.
Miao Yi still sat there indifferently, but his heart wasn't as calm as he looked on the surface. His mind was in turmoil as he quickly thought about what was going on.
Mu Fanjun left dejectedly, and Yun Aotian and the others were a little dumbfounded. They didn't know what was going on, and why was it like this?
The Devil Dao, Buddhist Dao, Yao Dao, and Ghost Dao — the four Great Generals also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately transmitted their voices to Jin Man to ask what was going on. Jin Man's reply was the same as the one he gave to Zhangsun Ju, telling them to ask themselves, so that they wouldn't have to make wild guesses and talk about it endlessly …
In the Immortal Palace, Zhangsun Ju stood outside the palace gates, his white robes fluttering in the wind as he watched Mu Fanjun disappear into the palace gates with a frown.
Beside him, Meng Ru muttered, "General, did you notice that the Divine Lord's motive this time doesn't seem to be simple?"
Zhangsun Ju was silent for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "Have Huang Yinghong and Gong Lingyu come see me."
Huang Yinghong and Gong Lingyu were the attendants he had previously assigned to serve Mu Fanjun. However, Mu Fanjun later used her own people and pushed the two girls to the periphery.
When they met, they were in a desolate desert with howling winds.
The two girls hurriedly rushed over, and when they saw Zhangsun Ju and Meng Ru standing with their hands behind their backs, they quickly cupped their fists and bowed, "Greetings, General, greetings, Great General."
Zhangsun Ju turned around and said, "Let me ask you, have you noticed anything wrong with the Divine Lord all these years?"
The two girls exchanged a glance, and Huang Yinghong replied, "We've only been running errands for the Divine Lord all these years, and we've rarely seen anything wrong with the Divine Lord."
As expected, after asking a few more questions, Meng Ru saw that they were unable to get any useful information out of Zhangsun Ju. She glanced at the silent Zhangsun Ju and said, "The two of you, remember to report to me immediately if you notice anything amiss with the Holy Master."
"Yes!" The two girls acknowledged, and just as they were about to leave, Gong Lingyu suddenly paused and said, "General, we just remembered something."
"Oh!" Zhangsun Ju asked, "Is it related to the Divine Lord?"
"Yes!" Gong Lingyu said thoughtfully, "When the two of us had just been sent to the Divine Lord's side, the Divine Lord suddenly asked us about Lord White."
"Lord White?" Zhangsun Ju asked curiously, "Why did she ask about Lord White?"
