“I contacted the Promi family, and they said that they couldn’t contact their own patriarch either, and they currently have no idea what happened to the Promi patriarch and their family in the mountains.”The Grand Elder said.
“How about this, after three more days, if there is still no news, you immediately follow Elder Jiang and rush to the European Domain to figure out what is going on!”The Hall Master said.
“Good.”The Grand Elder nodded.
“By the way Grand Elder, according to the investigation of the Second Elder’s matter, how is it going?”The Hall Master opened his mouth to inquire.
“After I secretly investigated repeatedly, really did not find out anything, the more I investigated, the more I feel that the second elder, it seems …… not to be a spy.”The Grand Elder said.
“What about the clues provided by Lin Yun? Lin Yun seems to be certain that it is the Second Elder.”The Hall Master said.
“Yes, Lin Yun is indeed certain that it’s the Second Elder, but the results of my investigation show that the Second Elder is indeed not very suspicious.”The Grand Elder said.
“Then …… who exactly could this spy be?”The Hall Master looked into mid-air and muttered.
Not being able to find the traitor, this thorn had been growing in their hearts.
This, was enough to make the Hall Master fidgety.
At this time, the Grand Elder’s phone rang.
The Grand Elder immediately took out the phone to take a look.
“It’s …… the Third Elder calling, their mission is complete?”
After the Grand Elder saw the Third Elder’s incoming call, his heart let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterward, the Grand Elder immediately picked up the phone.
“Third Elder, how is the situation on your side? Has the mission been completed successfully?”The Grand Elder opened his mouth to inquire.
The Third Elder’s report was transmitted over the phone.
“What?”The Grand Elder’s face suddenly changed drastically after hearing this.
“Alright, I know, Third Elder you should hurry back as soon as possible first.”The Grand Elder said into the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the Grand Elder’s face, surprisingly, had turned pale.
“Grand Elder, what happened?”The Hall Master immediately inquired.
The Hall Master clearly felt that the Grand Elder’s face and tone were not right.
Something had definitely happened!
“Hall Master, something big has happened, the Third Elder just reported, he said that the …… mission failed!”The Grand Elder said.
“What? The mission failed? How …… how could this happen?”
The Hall Master’s pupils twitched violently after hearing this news.
“The third elder said that Lin Yun was a traitor, he suddenly struck from behind in the middle of the battlefield, and that demon general, was also more powerful than expected, Lin Yun and the demon general teamed up, and in the end, the Promi patriarch died, and the third elder desperately escaped, and hid in the mountains for several more days before quietly escaping out of the mountains, and then contacted us!”The Grand Elder said.
The Third Elder was actually helpless when he told the Grand Elder this.
If the third elder had exterminated Lin Yun and the others without leaving a single survivor, he could have just reported it, saying that the demonic beast had hidden its strength, that it was actually very strong, that it was the demonic beast that had killed everyone, and that he had seen a bad opportunity and fled first, before escaping with his life.
This statement, more convincing, less likely to make people suspect that he is a spy, this is also the third elder they, at the beginning of the plan.
It was a pity that they had left behind a live witness and could only change their plan to framing Lin Yun, a plan that was obviously not as safe as the one before.
“The mission failed? Lin Yun is a …… traitor?”After the Hall Master heard the Grand Elder’s chemical, for a moment, he was a little frozen.
This news was like a thunderbolt that exploded in the Hall Master’s head.
It was only after a moment that the Hall Master came back to his senses.
“Grand Elder, what do you think about this matter?”The Hall Master looked towards the Grand Elder.
“With my intuition, Lin Yun really doesn’t look like a spy!”The Grand Elder marveled.
“Great Elder, when we do things, we must remember not to go by our intuition, since this matter has developed to this point, there are only two possibilities, first …… Lin Yun is a spy, and second, the third elder has a problem!”The hall master said.
The hall master continued, “Last time the deputy hall master, Elder Xiong, and the others died on a mission, it just so happened that Lin Yun knew about the news, and this time there was Lin Yun’s involvement again, and something happened again, so even more than that, we can’t rule out the possibility that Lin Yun is a spy.”
“If Lin Yun really is a spy, then, the fact that he reported the second elder as a spy might be, in order to deliberately distract us.”
This analysis from the Hall Master was indeed not without reason.
“As for the third elder, he’s usually diligent, but he hasn’t shown any signs, but we can’t rule out the suspicion that he can rely on his side of the story alone.”The Hall Master said.
“Hall Master, then what do we do now?”The Grand Elder looked at the Hall Master with a grave expression.
“What did the Third Elder say on the phone?”The Hall Master inquired.
“The Third Elder said that he is trying to find a way to rush back to the Sacred Temple and should be able to return in the next two days.”The Grand Elder said.
“Good, when Third Elder comes back, we’ll wait for news from Lin Yun to see if he’ll show up and return to the Sacred Temple, if Lin Yun is really the traitor, he definitely wouldn’t dare to come back, and if Lin Yun hasn’t come back, then that means that the traitor is indeed Lin Yun.”The hall master said.
“Hall Master, there’s another possibility, what if Third Elder is the traitor and he’s already gotten Lin Yun killed? Then Lin Yun definitely wouldn’t have appeared.”The Grand Elder said.
“If the third elder is a spy and he really did get Lin Yun killed, he definitely wouldn’t say that Lin Yun was a spy, which would instead cause us to raise suspicion.”
“If Lin Yun is a spy, then it’s even more unlikely that Lin Yun would die, since he’s on the winning side, so either way, I believe that Lin Yun is, right now, not dead.”The Hall Master said.
The Grand Elder nodded.
At this time, the Grand Elder’s phone, once again, rang.
The Grand Elder seemed very surprised when he saw the caller ID.
Immediately afterward, the Grand Elder quickly picked up the phone.
“What did you say?”The Grand Elder looked shocked after hearing the report on the phone.
“Okay, I know!”
The Grand Elder responded before hanging up the phone.
“Grand Elder, what’s the situation?”The Hall Master inquired.
“Hall Master, I just received, a call from the scout we arranged in the Shadow Sect, he said that he had inquired about a major piece of news, that Lin Yun was a mole that the Shadow Sect had arranged in the Sacred Temple.”A pale color appeared on the Grand Elder.
The Temple Master also froze for a moment after hearing this.
They had naturally placed a mole in the Shadow Sect.
It was only that the mole’s rank in the Dark Shadow Sect was not too high, so it was usually difficult to access top secret information.
“What he said, can it be true?”The Hall Master asked after him.
The Grand Elder pondered for two seconds before saying, “The spy said that this information is absolutely reliable ……”
As the words fell, the Grand Elder’s face grew paler and paler.
The Grand Elder had always trusted Lin Yun, and when the first mission had failed and everyone suspected that Lin Yun was a mole, the Grand Elder had chosen to trust Lin Yun.
Including just after receiving a call from the Third Elder, the Grand Elder was still unwilling to believe that Lin Yun was a spy, he was even more willing to suspect the Third Elder a little more.
But now, after receiving the information from the spies, he couldn’t completely trust Lin Yun anymore ……
Could it be that he had really looked away?
“In that case, Lin Yun’s suspicions are indeed getting bigger and bigger.”The hall master’s expression was grave.
