"Who betrayed us?"
The Purple Qilin's angry roar echoed in the underground cave.
The huge underground cave was like a giant palace. There were thousands of beast cultivators gathered here, including Princess Blue Lotus, Bi Lou, and the White Pig Emperor. The beast cultivators' faces did not look good.
The gathering place of the beast cultivators was extremely well-hidden. It had been hiding in Alkaid City for half a year without any accidents, but it was discovered by the Demon Suppressing Pavilion tonight.
Moreover, they were clearly not discovered by chance because by the time all the demon cultivators reacted to it, the entire gathering place had already been completely surrounded.
The sound of battle could be heard clearly outside.
At least tens of thousands of beast cultivators were fighting desperately to stop the Dao soldiers of the Demon Suppressing Pavilion. They were trying to buy time for the people in the gathering place.
But it was only a matter of time before this place was captured.
Obviously, the Demon Suppressing Pavilion was well prepared.
There was only one explanation.
There was a traitor.
The traitor had spread the news, so the Demon Suppressing Pavilion had enough time to deploy troops, so that the beast cultivators could not escape at all.
The Purple Qilin let out an angry roar.
The atmosphere was very strange.
Until the white-haired old man sitting in the seat of honor, who had not spoken a word, fixed his eyes on Bi Lou.
"You've become someone's war slave?" The white-haired old man asked.
Bi Lou nodded and said, "Elder Feng, are you suspecting me?"
The white-haired old man was a Wind Falcon of the Untainted Land Remnant Species. He was an expert at the Immortal Lord level. Although he was at the end of his life, he was still very powerful.
He was the leader of the rebel Demonic cultivators in Alkaid City. He was a person of virtue and prestige, and had been in charge of the situation here for more than a year. This hidden gathering point was also established by him, and he had an extremely high prestige among the high-ranking cultivators.
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't suspect you." Elder Feng's voice was always unhurried. He said slowly, "After all, you also have the blood of the Demon Ancestor flowing in your body. But you've become a war slave of the Great Immortal Court. You have no control over your identity."
Jadefall shook her head. "The exalted one I follow has no enmity toward Demonic cultivators, so there's no need to go to such lengths to suspect me."
Glaring at Jadefall, the violet qilin asked, "If it weren't for you, then why did nothing happen before? Why did you suddenly reveal our location?"
"I don't know." Jadefall smiled bitterly.
The Purple Qilin said coldly, "You must give an explanation."
Jadefall shook her head. "I can't explain this."
"How did you know that Green Lotus was here?" asked the Purple Qilin.
Jadefall fell silent.
He didn't want to say too much about himself.
Because it would involve Li Mu.
Li Mu came to Alkaid City in secret for a private visit.
Once his whereabouts were exposed, it would be a huge obstacle to the next part of the plan.
The fact that there was a traitor among the demon cultivators was already a conclusive fact.
Who could guarantee that once he revealed Li Mu's whereabouts, the traitor would not immediately leak it out?
"What? Are you feeling guilty? "
Asked the Purple Qilin with a sneer.
On the stone chair next to him, Princess Blue Lotus was holding her daughter in her arms, gently humming an unknown tune. She didn't participate in such a quarrel.
Her eyes didn't even linger on her husband, Jadefall, as if the one who had gone through all kinds of hardships to come back was someone who had nothing to do with her and the child in her arms.
"Tell me." The White Pig Emperor also said, "Your Excellency Jadefall, why did you come here?"
Jadefall was silent for a moment and said, "In fact, I was also in the slave market today."
Princess Blue Lotus's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"I saw Green Lotus and Lian 'er being auctioned, and then I saw the Purple Qilin and the White Pig Emperor disguised as rich people to bid, and I saw the operation you planned," Jadefall continued.
"Then why didn't you help?" asked the Purple Qilin sternly.
Jadefall said, "At that time, the situation was unclear, so I couldn't take action at once. I didn't have absolute confidence. Later, when I wanted to help, I was stopped by my master."
"As expected of the lackeys of the Celestial Court. He didn't let you help, so you just watched as your wife and daughter were humiliated?" The Purple Qilin was aggressive.
Jadefall said, "Although I didn't help, my master did."
"Oh?" Elder Feng's expression changed, and he continued, "So, the mysterious expert who killed Perfected Immortal Yu Tian and saved everyone at the slave market today is your master? Who the hell is he? "
Jadefall said, "It's him, but I can't say his name."
The Purple Qilin sneered, "Hiding the head and showing the tail? Who knows, maybe you were just putting on an act. Maybe you let us go, and then followed us here. Jadefall, no matter what you say, you're the most suspicious person here today. "" That's right, "Yang Qi said coldly.
Jadefall was silent.
From all the signs, that was indeed the case.
The moment he came, something happened at the assembly point.
The Purple Qilin continued, "Do you know that not only did you betray our brothers at the assembly point in Alkaid City, but you also ruined the counterattack plan of the entire Heavenly Star Mansion? You …"
"Be careful with your words," Elder Feng suddenly said.
The Purple Qilin was startled, and then his expression darkened.
He stared at Jadefall as if he was the enemy who killed his father.
In fact, most of the demon cultivators present understood the Purple Qilin very well.
In the years since Jadefall was captured and disappeared, the demon cultivators of the Heavenly Star Mansion had basically treated him as a dead man.
The Purple Qilin had always secretly admired Princess Blue Lotus. After Jadefall's "death," he had even expressed his love for Princess Blue Lotus more than once.
The demon cultivators were more open-minded in this regard.
The Purple Qilin was also a genius among the demon cultivators of the Heavenly Star Mansion. He always felt that as long as he persevered, there would come a day when his sincerity could split metal and stone, and he would definitely be able to move Princess Blue Lotus.
After learning that Princess Blue Lotus had been captured, the Purple Qilin almost went crazy.
He clamored all day to save Princess Blue Lotus, and had tried many times, but to no avail.
This time, saving Princess Blue Lotus at the slave market was the Purple Qilin's last struggle. He had disobeyed Elder Feng's orders and taken the side of Shan Zuo, inciting the White Pig Emperor and hundreds of other demon cultivators to act privately.
It would be best if he could save Princess Blue Lotus, but if he couldn't, then what harm was there in sacrificing his life in front of Princess Blue Lotus?
The Purple Qilin was an infatuated person.
Fortunately, the result was perfect.
With the help of a mysterious expert, Princess Blue Lotus was back.
However, before the Purple Qilin had time to rejoice, Jadefall, who had disappeared for a long time, returned.
This meant that he would never have the chance to be with Princess Blue Lotus again.
How could he not be angry when his years of effort were destroyed overnight?
Although his anger was a little ungentlemanly, he was a young man after all, so it was understandable that he was shallow.
"I think I know where your master came from."
Elder Feng said slowly.
Everyone was startled, and their gazes were focused on the person who had spoken.
Elder Feng stood up slowly, and his eyes swept across everyone. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, now is not the time to investigate these problems. We have to find a way to break out of here and do our best to preserve the seed of the demon cultivators in Alkaid City. Only then can we cooperate with the Little Fiend Forefather's' Luminous Plan '…"
The Purple Qilin said, "But if we don't find out who the mole is, how are we going to break out? The mole will easily betray us and kill us one by one."
Everyone was silent.
That did make sense.
Elder Feng looked at Jadefall and said, "I'll have to trouble you."
Jadefall sighed. "It doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances. But I have to get back before daybreak. Otherwise, if the overlord gets angry, I won't care if I die, but I'm afraid you'll be implicated."
"Humph, I'm not afraid." The Purple Qilin sneered.
While they were talking —
Boom!
The entire underground cave shook violently.
Dirt and rocks rolled down.
Elder Feng's expression became fierce.
"There's no time. Everyone here is an elite that I've picked out. Prepare to break out of the encirclement according to your usual practice. I'll go and stop those bastards from the Demon Subduing Pavilion …"
As he spoke, a faint wind began to circulate around his body.
His pale hair turned jet-black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His stooped body suddenly straightened up.
The wrinkles on his face disappeared.
He gradually changed from an old man to a young man full of vigor and vitality.
A powerful and terrifying aura circulated around his body.
The beast cultivators didn't show any joy because of the change in Elder Feng's aura or state.
Instead, they looked at Elder Feng with a solemn expression.
Everyone knew that the old Elder Feng could only shake the beast energy in his body one last time to sublimate his origin and return to his strongest state.
Once the sublimation was over, Elder Feng would die no matter whether he was injured in battle or not.
The most legendary and tenacious beast cultivator of Alkaid City was about to burn his last ray of light.
Everyone was sad.
Only Elder Feng's eyes were bright.
As the most powerful beast cultivator in Alkaid City and the highest leader, he had to take responsibility for what had happened.
Furthermore, to be able to fight for one's own race and comrades in the final moments of one's life, to be able to burn one's soul once, was much more resplendent than dying in the corrosion of time like a mortal.
"Everyone, follow the plan. I — Pfft!"
Before Elder Feng could finish his sentence, a look of extreme shock appeared on his face. He then spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood. His body suddenly became weak, and his aura fell like an avalanche.
"Elder Feng —"
"What's going on?"
"Oh no!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Princess Blue Lotus swayed her body and went to support Senior Feng.
"I've … been poisoned? When … when? "
Elder Feng was stunned. He felt a strange scorching poison in his body. At the last moment when he was about to sublimate his body, it suddenly exploded and sucked away all of his energy.
It was a symptom of being poisoned.
It was an extremely vicious poison of the Immortal Path.
The Purple Qilin was stunned, then it charged at Bi Lou furiously and said, "You poisoned me. It must be you … I'll kill you."
Bi Lou dodged it.
He had only wanted to visit his wife and daughter and rekindle their relationship.
He didn't expect to run into something like this again and again.
What was going on?
Who was the traitor? How could Elder Feng be poisoned without him knowing?
