Chapter 27 Traitor Appears, Unexpected Identity
Old Turtle’s sudden ambush was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Hu Zhan and Lin Hu were even more stunned by this scene.
They could not understand why the Wolf King’s left-hand man would suddenly strike.
However, facing this unexpected attack, the Wolf King reacted as quickly as possible, attempting to counterattack Old Turtle.
But when the Wolf King tried to mobilize his spiritual strength, he discovered that his once proud formidable power was completely unusable.
Seeing this, Old Turtle slowly said, “Don’t waste your efforts. I can help you achieve the perfection of Spirit Master, and of course, I have my methods to counter you.”
As he spoke, Old Turtle made a swift motion, and the Wolf King’s heart and all of his cultivation were immediately extracted.
The bright red heart slowly transformed into a round Dan Pill, which Old Turtle then pocketed, looking towards the calm Chen Changsheng beside him.
“Why aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Boom!”
As Old Turtle spoke, he slapped Hu Zhan and Lin Hu to the ground.
Despite facing the powerful Old Turtle, there was not a shred of fear in Chen Changsheng’s eyes. Instead, he quietly asked, “Ancestor, is it that you still refuse to reveal your true form at this point?”
Upon hearing this, Old Turtle was momentarily taken aback and said, “You guessed it after all; you are indeed the most outstanding disciple of Shangqing View in five hundred years.”
As he spoke, the frail Old Turtle’s form slowly began to change, eventually transforming into a refined young man.
This person was none other than the founder of Shangqing View, the guiding person on Chen Changsheng’s cultivation path, Master Yuhua.
“It’s quite a journey to come to Night Moon Nation, truly difficult for you.”
“Tell me, Ancestor, how did you deduce that?”
Master Yuhua slowly approached Chen Changsheng, his tone filled with kindness and tenderness.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Chen Changsheng’s lips quivered slightly, and he spoke, “After I learned the bad news from Third Senior Brother, I kept pondering one question.”
“Why has Shangqing View fallen to such a predicament?”
“It is indeed true that Night Moon Nation’s cultivators have surged, but Master and the others are not newcomers to the cultivation world; there is no reason they could suffer a total defeat.”
Upon hearing this, Master Yuhua replied lightly, “So, you suspect that there is a traitor within the Great Qian Dynasty?”
“Indeed, but I have pondered over what kind of traitor could reach this extent.”
“Although Shangqing View cooperated with the dynasty to resist external enemies, Master and the others’ whereabouts are secrets of the sect; even the imperial lord should be fully aware of everything.”
“This means that, regardless of what faction the traitor from the Great Qian Dynasty belongs to, they cannot cause the total defeat of Shangqing View.”
“The only explanation is that a traitor has emerged from within Shangqing View.”
“After I deduced this conclusion, I suspected everyone in Shangqing View, even doubting whether Master was feigning d*ath.”
“But I never thought this person would be you, Ancestor.”
“You have already attained the realm of Spirit Master; your status in the Great Qian Dynasty is unmatched. Night Moon Nation cannot offer a price to attract you.”
“That’s reasonable,” Master Yuhua nodded and said, “So how did you later confirm that I was the traitor?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and said, “I only just dared to confirm that you are the traitor.”
“After arriving in Night Moon Nation, I encountered a demon clan member.”
“She was actually able to recognize the secret bl**d escape of Shangqing View, and she had deep knowledge about Shangqing View.”
“Interestingly, while she understood Shangqing View very well, she only knew that there were nine true disciples.”
“Though I, Chen Changsheng, might not be well-known in Shangqing View, anyone who investigates a bit can easily find my existence.”
“This situation further convinced me that the traitor originated from Shangqing View.”
“Moreover, this traitor treated me well; otherwise, they wouldn’t have cut off the sources of information about me.”
“To verify this, I conducted a small experiment during the recruitment conference when I used my real name.”
“However, even now, Night Moon Nation still does not know my identity, which says a lot.”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng looked up at Master Yuhua.
“Ancestor, do I need to explain the following matters?”
Upon hearing this, Master Yuhua smiled, taking the little wolf from Chen Changsheng’s arms.
He restrained the little wolf’s movements, then gently stroked it.
“Go on, it’s quite different to hear your own story from someone else.”
“No problem. Since Ancestor wants to hear, I will explain it well.”
“For one to do these things, that traitor from Shangqing View must have a position and strength that is certainly not low. I saw Master’s body when I entered the Forbidden Ground.”
“So this traitor can’t be Master; before unlocking the secrets of the Bronze Ancient Palace, I couldn’t find your motive for betrayal, Ancestor. But once the secrets of the Bronze Ancient Palace are revealed, your motive will emerge.”
“Additionally, I saw an unknown travelogue in the scripture tomb of Shangqing View, which documented the situation of the Forbidden Ground in Night Moon Nation.”
“That unknown travelogue should be over five hundred years old. Ancestor, you must have had this idea for over five hundred years, right?”
“Hahaha!”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s words, Master Yuhua laughed heartily, “Recruiting you into Shangqing View was indeed the wisest decision of my life.”
“The layout from five hundred years ago, you unraveled in just a few decades. Your comprehension is truly unparalleled.”
“Why?”
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng still refrained from voicing his doubts.
“Ancestor, you are not mistaken about desiring power. Even if you wanted to establish a new dynasty, Master and the others would follow you.”
“Why did you k*ll them?”
”Hearing Chen Changsheng’s confusion, Master Yuhua replied lightly, “The Great Qian Dynasty was my past, Shangqing View is my bl**d, sweat, and tears.”
“I did not want Shangqing View to become involved in this matter.”
“But they were too rigid; when they discovered this secret, instead of supporting me, they actually disclosed it.”
“Otherwise, do you think the people from Linglong Sect and Heavenly Buddha Temple could uncover my layout?”
“After five hundred years of planning, I will not permit anyone to ruin my plans.”
“What about Third Senior Brother?”
“Why did you let him go?”
“You are not unaware of his lazy nature; when Qingfeng and the others discovered this secret, he was off slacking, so he is not in the know.”
As he spoke, Master Yuhua also asked Chen Changsheng a question.
“By the way, how did you know that obtaining that power requires a bl**d sacrifice?”
Hearing this, a smile squeezed onto Chen Changsheng’s face as he said, “Ancestor, you are so clever, but why have you become confused now? You probably don’t know how many times you’ve been to the Limitless Secret Realm.”
“I’ve hidden part of the secret patterns; is it so hard for you to notice?”
“Hahaha!”
Master Yuhua chuckled, “Having such an outstanding disciple almost makes me foolishly happy.”
“Given your nature, it is only natural that you would hide private matters.”
