235: Revealed

The next morning, when Long Yuan arrived at the County Government, he found people from the Geng Family and Xu Family present, along with Qi Huaiyi and other Xuanwu Guards, as well as Li Gui, the head of the Nanle Division!

These individuals were all prominent figures in the Great Ming, especially Geng Rutai, Xu Guanghu, Xu Guanghai, and Li Gui, whose statuses were even higher!

But they had all gathered at the County Government in advance, waiting for Long Yuan's arrival... Seeing this setup, Long Yuan quickly bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Junior arrived late, please forgive me, Seniors!"

"No matter!"

Geng Rutai spoke first, then added, "Long Yuan, you said you had important news to share. What exactly is it?"

Long Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, there is important news! I believe all Seniors have already guessed that I am the mysterious person who provided the information..."

"Woah!!!" Everyone exclaimed softly upon hearing this, their eyes revealing excitement; Long Yuan had finally admitted it himself!

While everyone had guessed this conclusion on their own, it was better for Long Yuan to admit it himself. Now, they had no more doubts, but they were also very curious: how exactly did Long Yuan obtain that information? Was it truly his Mental Energy talent, as he claimed?

Long Yuan continued, "Many of my pieces of information were actually obtained from one person..."

"One person? Who is he?!" Qi Huaiyi asked curiously.

"Yun Yi! He is my teacher at Fengyang No. 1 High School..."

"It was him?!" Qi Huaiyi and Geng Yun exclaimed in surprise. Others who didn't know Yun Yi were also astonished, not understanding why a teacher would provide information about a cult.

Long Yuan no longer kept them in suspense and directly stated, "Yun Yi was a minor leader of Shadow Moon Hall, secretly operating in Fengyang. This cult activity was actually planned by him and Li Yang of Blood Wolf Hall!"

"So that's how it is!" Everyone suddenly understood.

Qi Huaiyi asked suspiciously, "Long Yuan, what about Yun Yi? Why didn't he appear during the cult activity?"

"He has already been killed by me!" Long Yuan snorted.

"This... well killed! Well killed indeed!!!" Qi Huaiyi reacted, shouting his praise, and the others also agreed. Although this matter was only Long Yuan's side of the story, no one present doubted that Long Yuan would lie. Since he said he killed Yun Yi, then Yun Yi must have deserved to die.

Long Yuan continued, "Actually, Yun Yi had been eyeing me ever since I Awakened my Mental Energy talent. He gave me a fake Soul Refining Skill. Anyone who Cultivates this skill would become his Cultivation resource, and once they grew to a certain point, they would be devoured by him!"

"Is that so?!"

"Yun Yi deserves to die!!!"

"Cultist scoundrels should be executed by everyone!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Everyone was extremely indignant upon hearing this, yet they also held their breath for Long Yuan. Although Long Yuan was standing there now, if Yun Yi's plot had succeeded, wouldn't Long Yuan be finished by now?

One must know that the Profound Qi aura Long Yuan currently displayed was only that of a "Martial Apprentice Late Stage," yet he had counter-killed Yun Yi, a Late-stage Martial Master, and Cold Moon, a Martial Ancestor Middle Stage, in one battle, and even obtained a Four-Order Teng Snake!

Such a brilliant battle record was simply unimaginable!

Qi Huaiyi looked at the phone and a thick stack of documents, tokens, clothing, and other items in the bag, feeling incredibly emotional. Such a meritorious deed, if placed on an ordinary... Xuanwu Guard, would have been enough to qualify him for promotion to captain...

Geng Rutai, Xu Guanghu, and others looked at Long Yuan, their faces showing admiration, and various thoughts secretly churned in their minds...

Long Yuan's words actually explained the reason why he was able to obtain information about the cult activities. The purpose was, of course, to conceal his ability to observe all movements at any time with the Heavenly Dao Eye. At the same time, it also uncovered the mystery of Yun Yi's disappearance. This mystery would be revealed sooner or later, so it was better for him to proactively bring it up. This way, he could avoid any unfounded speculation about himself from these people. As long as there was verifiable evidence, then this anti-cult operation could be made into an ironclad case, and he himself could extricate himself from it.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Long Yuan was extremely satisfied and continued, "There is another important piece of information that needs to be reported to the County Government! It concerns the Shan Feng Forest incident yesterday. The reason I knew there was danger in Shan Feng Forest was actually because Cold Moon's phone suddenly received an information alert. This message automatically disappeared after reading. I remember it mentioned that there might be relatively good mineral deposits in Shan Feng Forest, and Shadow Moon Hall would soon send people there to excavate them. Moreover, the people from Blood Wolf Hall also knew about this information, so both sides are accelerating their actions. It is estimated that people will go there to contend for the mineral deposits in the next few days..."

"What?! Shadow Moon Hall and Blood Wolf Hall will both contend for it?!" Qi Huaiyi immediately stood up, speaking excitedly.

The other Xuanwu Guards also looked agitated upon hearing this. If Long Yuan's news was true, it would definitely be a great merit!

Long Yuan smiled and said, "Yes! In fact, they already clashed near that demon forest last night. In the end, Shadow Moon Hall gained a slight upper hand, but the people from Blood Wolf Hall naturally won't let it go. That mineral deposit is extremely valuable, and they will definitely contend for it!"
