An elder walked forward.
His palm landed on the Berserk Thunder Sword.
Everyone held their breaths at this moment.
The Berserk Lightning Sword trembled slightly, and traces of lightning rippled in the air, bringing with it a terrifying aura.
But in the end, this ancestral artifact of the Chu family did not unleash its power.
The elder heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He walked down with ease.
"Next."
Chu Yuanfeng's expression did not change.
One by one, the senior members of the Chu family walked up to be tested by the Berserk Thunder Sword and walked down safely …
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was getting heavier and heavier.
There were only so few senior members of the Chu family for three generations.
If the people in front of him were not traitors, then that would mean that …
"That means that the traitor … is among the remaining people?"
At this moment, some people's eyes turned cold and carried a trace of scrutiny.
Chu Xian's heart was also somewhat heavy.
The Berserk Thunder Sword's concealment ability was truly out of his expectations.
Thus, the hand in his pocket quietly pinched a talisman.
It was a priceless Restriction Breaking Talisman!
It was different from ordinary talismans …
Once the Restriction Breaking Talisman was activated, not only could it teleport a further distance, but it could also penetrate formations and domains.
This way, even if he was in a formation, Chu Xian could still leave safely.
"But then again, it's not that there have never been traitors in the Chu family. It's just that I've never heard of the Berserk Thunder Sword having such a magical ability!"
Seeing that the number of people waiting to be tested was decreasing, many thoughts surged into Chu Xian's mind in the blink of an eye.
He was seventy to eighty percent sure that the special ability of the Berserk Thunder Sword was completely fabricated by Chu Yuanfeng.
The purpose was still to trick the traitor out!
"Even in the worst case scenario, I can use the Restriction Breaking Talisman to leave and then sneak to another place through the nearest spaceport …"
Finally, it was Chu Xian's turn to step forward.
He took a deep breath. The Restriction Breaking Talisman was already in a half-activated state. Then, he raised his hand and pressed on the Berserk Thunder Sword.
The lightning was dazzling, like sparks.
"Phew … luckily, Old Five is not a traitor."
Someone murmured in his ear, causing Chu Xian to open his eyes. A trace of joy flashed across his eyes.
As expected, he had gambled correctly!
The Berserk Thunder Sword did not explode at all. This meant that the so-called detection ability was simply nonsense!
"Big Brother, oh Big Brother, it looks like the recent matter has already forced you into a corner. You've even brought out this kind of deceitful method …"
As he retreated, he looked at Chu Yuanfeng with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
However, even after the entire clan meeting ended, the Ancestral artifact, the Wild Lightning Sword, did not react at all.
"Not even one?"
This did not make them feel relieved.
On the contrary, many people's hearts were clenched tightly.
A huge shadow, like a dark cloud, shrouded everyone's hearts.
"Did the Ancestral item fail, or was there no traitor?"
"Or perhaps the traitor's methods are so shocking that not even an Ancestral item can be found?"
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
In fact, fear was spreading. The fact that the traitor could not be found had already caused the higher-ups of the Chu Clan to become anxious.
After all, no one would wish for …
Those close to him would be traitors who betrayed the clan and sold their own interests!
"As expected, it's just a bluff."
Only the mockery in Chu Xian's eyes deepened.
Finally, the silent Clan Leader Chu Yuanfeng spoke with a dejected expression, "Since the Ancestral item did not react, it could be that I made an error in judgment, or perhaps the traitor is not from the higher-ups of the clan."
At first glance, he looked dispirited, as if he had aged several decades.
Seeing him like this, a trace of sympathy appeared on Chu Xian's face, but it was quickly extinguished.
"Big Brother, don't blame me. Who asked you to control the clan and not give me a chance?"
Soon, in a heavy atmosphere, the clan meeting finally came to an end.
Although there were two great pieces of good news, the shadow brought by the traitor still followed like a shadow, entangling everyone's heart.
"The traitor … just who is it?"
… …
Only Chu Xian.
After leaving the clan meeting, Chu Xian heaved a sigh of relief.
Although there were already suspicions of the existence of a traitor within the clan.
But obviously …
Up until now, Chu Yuanfeng had not found any decisive evidence.
After a short rest, Chu Xian took out a small jade talisman from a secret compartment in the corner of the room that blocked out divine sense.
Then, a secret message was instantly sent through the jade talisman.
"The Chu clan has already become suspicious. We must immediately change our strategy. Three days later, midnight, at the Rocky Cliff north of the city!"
This jade talisman was specially made to directly contact the chief steward of the neighboring clan, which was Lin Huanran.
"Bring enough men, if necessary … we can directly attack Chu Yuanfeng!"
A trace of ferocity flashed across Chu Xian's face.
Time waits for no man.
Chu Yuanfeng's footsteps were getting closer and closer. He had no choice but to use extreme measures.
… …
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this morning, clues of a suspected traitor appeared. Two of the Chu clan's Black Hole warriors were sent away because of this.
At the same time, the Lin clan closed in step by step. The situation was urgent. The Third Master Chu Yanxun was constantly on the move to suppress the chaos everywhere.
Another Chu clan property was attacked by unknown people. Many of the Chu clan's higher-ups went to investigate the situation.
For a time, the Chu clan's mansion was empty. Only one Black Hole warrior, Chu Wenlong, was left.
"It's about time. Tonight is a good opportunity."
Chu Xian looked at the time, his face full of impatience. He found an excuse and rushed to the Rocky Cliff north of the city.
On the Rocky Cliff, the light was dim and there were jagged rocks everywhere.
A fat middle-aged figure emerged from the darkness and cast a strange look at Chu Xian. "Fifth brother of the Chu clan, are you ready?"
Chu Xian nodded slightly. "Greetings, steward Lin. Of course I am ready. The Chu clan is empty tonight. It's a good time to act!"
He had prepared for such a long time just for this day to come!
"Hehe, you're really interesting. You could have been the fifth master of the Chu clan, but you had to collude with the Lin clan to seize power … power is really something that makes people fall."
Lin Huanran sneered.
Chu Xian responded with a cold smile, "Chief Steward Lin, don't joke around. You may be a branch of the Lin clan, but how many people in the Lin clan are below you? Others may not understand the benefits of power, but do you think you don't? "
"If that's the case, then hurry up and act."
Just as Lin Huanran nodded, an angry roar suddenly exploded in the air.
A bolt of purple lightning spread out with a loud rumble. It came from afar and struck down from the sky!
"Chu Xian, so you are the traitor!"
