135: Who is the traitor?

Because of the large number of powerful individuals appearing in the Flowing Land of the Eastern Faction, the major giant cities of the Eastern Faction are currently feeling somewhat uneasy.

These are unstable factors and must be dealt with.

The Flowing Land is boundless, which also means that even with the large number of powerful individuals from the other three factions, when dispersed throughout the Flowing Land, they still appear sparse.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Sky Cave, Jin Hua guards one direction.

Pink Spirit and Hong Zong each guard a direction, Liu Jian guards one direction, and Jin Sheng is mobile.

In just over ten days, Jin Hua and the others have experienced over a dozen major battles centered around the Sky Cave.

The powerful individuals who fled from other faction directions range in strength from Ninth-Order to Twelfth-Order, so Liu Jian and the others can currently handle these enemies who want to approach the Sky Cave.

However, as battles frequently occurred in the Flowing Land around the Sky Cave and were quickly learned by powerful individuals from other places, Pink Spirit and Hong Zong were immediately targeted by many people with ulterior motives.

Two Fierce Beasts, with only Twelfth-Order strength, are in themselves a huge walking fortune.

It should be noted that a Fierce Beast that can possess a flesh-and-blood body, or its Human partner, must have the strength to protect its flesh and blood.

But now, these two "wild" Fierce Beasts have neither a powerful background nor powerful partners, so there is only one outcome: refine corpses and extract blood essence.

Two Twelfth-Order Fierce Beasts, both of whom already possess flesh and blood, represent a combat force that cannot be underestimated, so these powerful individuals who came from outside factions have also begun to spontaneously form teams to hunt Hong Zong and Pink Spirit.

In just half a month, two teams, each with ten Twelfth-Order powerful individuals, were formed and began to kill their way towards Hong Zong and Pink Spirit.

These powerful individuals were extremely overbearing, clearing out an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, vowing to take down Hong Zong and Pink Spirit in one fell swoop.

Facing these two forces, Hong Zong could still cope due to his innate bloodline, but Pink Spirit was in trouble.

Because of this, Jin Hua made a decisive decision and immediately had Liu Jian and Pink Spirit work together to deal with these powerful individuals.

As for Hong Zong, he also sent Jin Sheng over to resolve the battle as quickly as possible together.

The goal of these twenty powerful individuals was just the physical bodies of Hong Zong and Pink Spirit, and furthermore, they had no idea about the Treasured Bone Body, so with Hong Zong and Pink Spirit intentionally fleeing, they indeed moved away from the Sky Cave, placing Qingyang in an absolutely safe location.

Outside the Sky Cave.

Jin Hua, holding a large saber, was guarding the final defense line of the Sky Cave like a door god.

Inside the Sky Cave, Qingtian looked up at Jin Hua, then at Qingyang, who had now advanced to Fifth-Order strength, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"That Pink Spirit, are you familiar with her?"

As soon as he said this, Qingyang immediately stopped absorbing energy and looked up at Qingtian in confusion.

"She was my subordinate on Blue Star, what's wrong?"

Beside him, Qingtian gently nodded and said, "Hmm, I might have been overthinking."

After speaking, Qingtian no longer paid attention to Qingyang, but instead looked at the residual secret patterns of the runes that had been used in the distance.

Five days later, an Eleventh-Order powerful individual arrived outside the Sky Cave, likely having come by chance.

The moment the opponent noticed Jin Hua outside the Sky Cave, he turned around and ran.

On Jin Hua's side, to ensure Qingyang's absolute safety, Jin Hua did not let the opponent go and killed him directly.

Half a month later, during a fierce battle and retreat, Hong Zong and Jin Sheng covertly returned to the Sky Cave once.

Hong Zong and Jin Sheng's return also resulted in them leaving behind eight Twelfth-Order Bone Beast energies.

Interestingly, within Qingyang's current faction, besides Qingyang himself needing Bone Beast energy, everyone else only needs zhen crystal or flesh and blood.

And Qingyang himself only needs Bone Beast energy and does not need flesh and blood.

Therefore, all the Bone Beasts that Hong Zong and the others acquire from killing are prepared for Qingyang.

As for Qingyang himself, he gives them the flesh and blood he obtains.

On this day, shortly after Qingyang had just broken through to Ninth-Order, a fierce battle suddenly erupted outside the Sky Cave.

This battle was so intense that it almost required Qingtian to take action.

Because he was inside the Sky Cave and Qingyang's strength was only Ninth-Order, he couldn't clearly sense the situation of the battle between the powerful individuals outside.

So the only thing Qingyang could do was wait, wait for the battle to end.

However, on the second day of Qingyang's wait, a powerful individual whose entire right arm had been severed by Liu Jian, seemingly due to the intensity of the battle, directly fell into the Sky Cave.

This person was, surprisingly, a Tenth-Order mid-stage powerful individual.

Although the opponent was severely injured, he was indeed a Tenth-Order mid-stage powerful individual.

This put Qingyang in a precarious situation, almost being killed several times, and only by using the familiar terrain around him was he barely able to kill the opponent.

The battle outside the Sky Cave continued, Qingyang's azure dragon bone body flickered with a faint azure light, he grabbed an Eleventh-Order Bone Beast energy from the side, frantically absorbing the energy while his perception constantly monitored the area above the Sky Cave.

When Qingyang broke through to the Ninth-Order mid-stage, another Tenth-Order late-stage powerful individual, with a blood groove on his back, fell down.

This time, even Qingyang faintly felt that something was wrong.

This was clearly an act of testing his combat strength, making Qingyang calmly deal with the powerful individual's attack while pondering who wanted to mess with him.

Yes, there was a traitor in Qingyang's own team.

But the problem was that outside, Jin Hua, Jin Sheng, Hong Zong, Liu Jian, and Pink Spirit were all engaged in battle, so Qingyang couldn't immediately guess who the traitor was.

Qingtian, who had witnessed all of this, remained silent, looking up slightly at the area outside the Sky Cave, wondering what he was thinking about.

Although Qingyang was invincible among those of the same rank, facing an enemy who was a full major rank stronger than him, Qingyang found it exceptionally difficult to cope.

But fortunately, after each evolution, Qingyang's bone body was hard enough, so using his innate advantage, he ultimately succeeded in killing this enemy.

Next, Qingyang absorbed the Bone Beast energy to increase his strength with a heavy heart, while silently staring at the area above the Sky Cave.

The moment a traitor appears among your most trusted companions, everyone's trust is challenged.

Qingyang didn't know how to determine who was the problem.

He didn't even know what the motive of the one who betrayed him was.

But since the matter had already happened, Qingyang could only accept this fact.

Over ten days later, when the battle outside ended, Jin Hua, Jin Sheng, Hong Zong, Pink Spirit, and Liu Jian jumped into the Sky Cave one after another.

Seeing that none of them showed any abnormality, Qingyang turned to look at Qingtian.

Seeing this, Qingtian slowly shook his head and calmly said, "A battle has occurred here, and it has been exposed. It is not suitable to stay for long. Let's move. Since they came to the Eastern Faction, we can also go to other factions."
