144: Traitor!

Three days had passed.

Lin You had almost collected all the Dao Fruits he could get his hands on.

The ones remaining were either too far from Zhen Tian Pass or too close to the Demon Race, making them too dangerous to retrieve.

Sixty-two Elementary Dao Fruits, seven Intermediate Dao Fruits.

Most of them were exchanged for five million times acceleration for his external incarnation.

As for the rest, because the System did not offer an acceleration option or any good items, Lin You chose to keep the Dao Fruits to bring back to the Baoyou Alliance.

At this moment, the Green Sprite's cultivation had climbed to the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm!

It was only one step away from being on par with him, the main body.

Feeling the surging Spiritual Qi within the external incarnation, a sharp glint flashed in Lin You's eyes.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhen Tian Pass.

A faint smell of blood drifted in the air.

The sounds of slaughter and the roaring of Divine Abilities, which had been deafening at the beginning, had now turned faint, almost as trivial as children's play.

"I wonder how Zhen Tian Pass is doing..."

"After all, they are fighting for the Human Race and for All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

"If I really calculate it, I have also received their grace, so I should contribute my strength."

Lin You murmured softly.

Now that he had confidence, he began to walk step by step towards Zhen Tian Pass.

Inside the pass.

Corpses covered the ground.

Existences that stood proudly at the pinnacle of the Longevity Realm all frowned deeply.

A middle-aged man took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently. His black and red armor was covered with countless sword marks and scars.

Blood trickled out from the gaps.

Yet, as if he hadn't noticed anything, he said in a deep voice.

"How is the war situation?"

As soon as the words fell.

Someone immediately came to report: "The Shura Department, one of the Six Departments of the Demon Race, has retreated ten thousand miles. In this battle, over twenty thousand Golden Immortal Realm Cultivators have fallen."

"Three thousand at the Quasi-Saint Realm."

"Over six hundred above the Great Saint Realm have fallen."

"Two Generals of the Longevity Realm were also besieged and killed by the Demon Race."

"The exact number has not yet been fully counted!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth. He slammed his fist heavily against the city wall in front of him, producing a dull echo.

"Damn Shura Department!"

"They had an agreement, yet they launched a sneak attack in secret!"

"Three thousand miles outside Zhen Tian Pass, there was clearly a grand array to warn us. Why was there no reaction at all!"

The Quasi-Saint Realm Cultivator who was reporting had cold sweat dripping down his forehead. The mountain-like pressure fell on his shoulders, and he cupped his fists with difficulty as he spoke:

"General Ren..."

"This, the subordinate truly does not know."

Wild Song looked back in disbelief. He grabbed the other person's collar, the veins on his arm bulging.

"What did you say? You don't know!"

"For such an important matter, what are you people doing!"

"And you're still trying to shirk responsibility after the fact!"

"Drag him away and kill him!"

Instantly, personal guards on both sides stepped forward to seize the Quasi-Saint Realm Cultivator and were about to drag him away.

Seeing that his head was about to be lost, he had no choice but to beg for mercy.

"My Lord!"

"I... actually, this subordinate has already found out clearly, I just didn't dare to speak!"

Wild Song was so angry he laughed. "Do you know how many human lives this is? This is the hard work cultivated by how many Families in All Heavens and Myriad Realms?"

"Didn't dare to speak?"

"One sneak attack, and tens of thousands of people died!"

"What else is there to be afraid of? Tell me, or I'll kill you right now!"

The man scanned the faces of all the big shots before saying:

"It is... invalid!"

"The grand array was secretly sabotaged!"

"It had long since lost the ability to warn us!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Zhen Tian Pass fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone knew what this meant.

That grand array was set up jointly by all the Longevity Families in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, with the goal of identifying Demon Cultivators and preventing them from launching sneak attacks.

But now...

It had been sabotaged in secret!

That could only mean that inside Zhen Tian Pass... there was a mole!

Wild Song scanned every face. To be able to do this, one must be at least at the Great Saint Realm or above; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to shake the grand array at all!

But these people...

They were all the elites of Zhen Tian Pass. Once he killed the wrong person...

Everyone would feel endangered, and their hearts would grow cold!

Wild Song's gaze swept across everyone's cheeks like a steel blade. Finally, he turned back abruptly and scolded: "Nonsense! How could that grand array be sabotaged!"

"It must have been broken by the Demon Race!"

"Spreading rumors, you deserve to die!"

—Slap.

With one slap, the head of that Quasi-Saint Realm Cultivator turned into a blood mist on the spot.

His Divine Soul was destroyed!

Wild Song's words undoubtedly overturned his previous judgment.

But this was the best scenario for now.

Right now, in Zhen Tian Pass, he was the only Cultivator at the Ascension Realm. In the previous bloody battle, fighting one against two was the limit.

If morale collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Keep a close eye on the movements of the Shura Department!"

"All other Cultivators at the Great Saint Realm and above, follow me into the main hall to discuss matters!"

Wild Song said coldly, then turned and left without looking back.

In the grim main hall.

There were only over five hundred people at the Great Saint Realm, thirty at the Longevity Realm, and Wild Song, the only Ascension Realm Cultivator.

This sneak attack could be called a heavy loss.

Wild Song sat in the main seat and said in a deep voice: "Notify all Families to find more Cultivators to enter the pass."

"At the same time, tell those big shots, what is there left to talk about! The scum of the Demon Race went back on their word, then let's fight!"

"They didn't fight enough for thirty thousand years, then let's go another thirty thousand years, three hundred thousand years with them, and see who falls in the end!"

"Let's see whose blade is sharper!"

After finishing, he cast his gaze on the crowd again.

"Is anyone from the Zhuge Family here?"

"If so, remember to notify the Zhuge Family to lend me the Azure Sky Mirror!"

Wild Song's words received no response. He frowned and said: "Have all the people from the Zhuge Family been killed in battle?"

The Azure Sky Mirror was a True Spirit Grade Magic Treasure of the Zhuge Family. It could see the truth and observe the sun and moon. If anyone was involved with Demon Cultivators, they would definitely be revealed by the mirror.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously understanding something.

Someone whispered: "General Ren... after the Zhuge Family withdrew their people last time, no one has come yet."

Wild Song slammed the table: "Are you kidding me! Does the safety of Zhen Tian Pass have nothing to do with their Zhuge Family?"

The man explained: "Originally, the Zhuge Family sent a ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy to come... but it seems... I didn't see him."

Suddenly, the air seemed to become a bit heavy.

Wild Song narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Didn't see him? Did he not come, or did he die too quickly!"

"Answer me!"

The guy who spoke was sweating profusely.

"I didn't see him!"

"No... he probably didn't come. Anyway, I truly didn't see him!"

As his words fell, others nodded one after another.

Even if they had heard of Lin You, this ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy, within Zhen Tian Pass.

It was impossible to say they were completely unaware.

Since so many pairs of eyes didn't see him, it could only mean... this guy didn't come to Zhen Tian Pass at all!

Hearing this, Wild Song let out a cold, faint laugh.

He laughed exceptionally grimly... cruelly!

In his eyes was undisguised murderous intent.

A ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy, the grand array being broken... how did it all seem like such a coincidence...

Wild Song stared fixedly at the ground, licking his lips.

"Search."

"In this Ancient Burial Ground, I want to see the person if they are alive, and the corpse if they are dead!"

—Boom!

Surging murderous intent rushed into the sky!

Everyone understood that this master... should have mistaken Lin You for the guy who sabotaged the grand array.

To put it bluntly...

He betrayed the entire Human Race!

The entire All Heavens and Myriad Realms!

Just as everyone was preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a guard's report came from outside the hall.

"Report~"

"General Ren!"

"ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy of the Zhuge Family, Lord Lin You is here!"

"He is currently waiting outside the pass!"
