309: Chapter 308 Where did you get this secret?

"...Don't be fooled..."

A grand and majestic voice rang out, penetrating the thick barrier of the earth and echoing within this underground command center.

When the first word sounded, the voice was still very blurred.

Like a whisper from the horizon, it was only vaguely audible, but as the syllables progressed, the pronunciation became heavier.

Until the last word fell, it was as if it carried a thousand catties of force, clearly striking everyone's eardrums, and the air in the entire underground command center froze.

A sense of tension rose in their hearts, and everyone looked up in unison, just in time to see four figures penetrating through the ceiling.

In a flash, the figures landed instantly.

Three of them were in a triangular formation, each holding a palm-sized small bronze mirror. The Copper Mirrors emitted light and connected to each other, surrounding Chu Xuan and Lin Jie in the middle.

Chu Xuan had seen one of them before; it was You Hongle, the Deputy Captain of the Imperial Capital whom he had once encountered in a dream.

The opponent seemed to possess some kind of death-substitution item. In the dream, he had taken a full-force Slash from Chu Xuan and was merely sent flying, but he did not die.

At this moment, under the illumination of these three Copper Mirrors, Chu Xuan instantly felt a strong sense of restraint, as if these three mirrors had a body-fixing effect.

Although in Chu Xuan's estimation, it could restrain his movements by about thirty to forty percent, which was a bit of a nuisance, it was only that.

Chu Xuan did not panic. The fifty Slashes within his body were already poised and ready, capable of instantly killing these three people.

Directly in front was a middle-aged man. The clothes he wore were similar to the standard uniform of the Night Watchers, but instead of a long windbreaker, it was a loose-fitting hooded black robe.

The cuffs and the hem were embroidered with the golden sword that represented the Night Watchers' emblem.

This middle-aged man held a long sword, its blade emitting a dazzling light. Wisps of visible translucent white airflow shuttled around the sword, making "whoosh-whoosh" sounds of breaking through the air.

Chu Xuan directly activated the Eye of Insight and discovered that all four of them were actually humans. As for the middle-aged man in front of him, all four of his attributes had surprisingly been converted to reality.

The remaining four elders present clearly recognized these four people who had appeared so abruptly.

Especially upon seeing that middle-aged man, the four elders' expressions were all bolstered, and they spoke in unison: "Huo Gui, you're back?"

"I apologize for the scare," Huo Gui nodded slightly and said, "I disappeared before because I was inexplicably drawn into a special place, but now that I've returned, leave everything here to me."

The elder surnamed Wang raised his hand and said, "Huo Gui, wait a moment! This Chu Xuan just identified several Strange Creaturess hidden among us. There might be some hidden details or misunderstandings here."

"Misunderstandings? But Revelation has already released a video clearly pointing out that Chu Xuan is the ultimate disaster and must be eliminated. Do you think Revelation can also make mistakes?

On the path of resisting the Specter invasion, Revelation has made extraordinary and outstanding contributions. Without Revelation, this world would probably have been in ruins long ago."

Huo Gui said unhurriedly, "Therefore, I have reason to believe that Chu Xuan isn't accurately identifying Specters, but rather using some ability to force people to become Specters and then killing them. Furthermore, before this, we already received news that this Chu Xuan is very likely an S-rank Specter himself!"

As soon as Huo Gui finished speaking, everyone's expressions turned stern. When they looked at Chu Xuan again, there was a different meaning in their eyes.

The face of the elder surnamed Wang also stiffened slightly, but he eventually gave a soft sigh and spoke:

"Transcendent events should be handled by Transcendents; this is a strategic policy that was set long ago. We old fellows won't voice too many opinions on this, but the current situation is turbulent. I suggest proceeding with caution and planning carefully."

After a pause, Elder Wang continued, "It would be best to wait for Yang Yu to return and let him make the decision personally. Since Revelation has lost contact and cannot appear in person for a confrontation, that video might not necessarily be real.

On the contrary, if Chu Xuan really does have the ability to see through the identities of Specters, yet we label him as a Specter and deal with him, it will not only chill people's hearts but also cause immense losses!"

Elder Wang said earnestly, "The current situation is complex, with both the threat of Strange Creatures invasions and the hidden infiltration of the Resurrection Society. In this special environment, we must have decisive killing methods, but at the same time, we must remain clear-headed and distinguish right from wrong. We absolutely must not be provoked and used, doing things that gladden our enemies and grieve our friends!"

Hearing this, the other three elders nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with this statement.

"Elder Wang's words are naturally reasonable, but as for waiting for Captain-General Yang to return, there's no need for that. Because I have successfully advanced and become a Transcendent on par with an S-rank Specter, and coupled with my status as the Acting Captain General... according to the regulations, while Captain-General Yang is away, I can make the decisions on all matters related to Transcendents!"

At this point, Huo Gui smiled slightly: "However, I am not an unreasonable person. I can give him a chance to defend himself, and at the same time, let everyone witness the reason why I don't trust this Chu Xuan."

With that, Huo Gui turned to look at Chu Xuan and said in a playful tone: "Chu Xuan, let me ask you one thing. Do you know how He Jun died?"

"I killed him."

Chu Xuan spoke calmly.

He also wanted to see what these people were made of and what kind of tricks they wanted to play.

He could see that these few people were all humans and showed no abnormal state of Specter symbiosis, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be instructed by Revelation, just like the already-killed He Jun.

At the same time, he also wanted to know if anyone else besides these three would come to interfere.

Chu Xuan was worried that if he showed too much overwhelming strength, he might scare away the others hidden in the shadows, so it was better to take it easy for now.

"Very well, you're quite bold to take responsibility; I thought you would flatly deny it." Huo Gui smiled again and continued to ask: "Why did you kill him?"

"Because He Jun had already defected and was controlled by Revelation."

Chu Xuan said indifferently, "And Revelation is one of the high-ranking members of the Resurrection Society. Like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Zhu Zhao, and Chaos, they are all World Traitors."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions, their faces full of shock.

Even Elder Wang, who had been speaking for Chu Xuan just now, gasped. He had just suspected that the video might be fake, but he had never doubted Revelation's stance.

And now, Chu Xuan actually said that Revelation was a high-ranking member of the Resurrection Society and a World Traitor?

"World Traitor? Zhu Zhao? Chaos?"

Huo Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully, "Where did you learn all this? Also, you say Revelation is a high-ranking member of the Resurrection Society; do you have any evidence?"

"I am guided by Heavenly Secret. Anything that secretly intends to harm me will be known by me."

Chu Xuan smiled indifferently, "Since you've already noticed me, you shouldn't be unaware of my Talent, right?"

At these words, Lin Jie's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Chu Xuan in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Your Talent is also Heavenly Secret?

Then what is mine?

"Heavenly Secret? Where did you get Heavenly Secret?!"

Huo Gui suddenly sneered and pointed his hand at Lin Jie: "If your Talent is Heavenly Secret, then what is his Talent?!"
