Several other elders also nodded in agreement.
The third elder continued, Could it be that the …… Shadow Sect didn t know about this, but they had already anticipated that we would go, so they set up an ambush early.
The Third Elder said this before, and I guess there is also this possibility. The Grand Elder said.
No, this is definitely not a coincidence! There is definitely someone, who leaked out this mission. The Deputy Hall Master said with certainty.
At this time, the Second Elder stood up violently.
”Gentlemen, I know who the traitor is.” The Second Elder’s tone was firm.
Oh?
The crowd all wore a look of surprise. Falling their gazes towards the Second Elder.
The traitor is not among the elders, the traitor is Lin Yun! The Second Elder’s voice was loud and clear.
Lin Yun?
The crowd was once again shocked.
Everyone couldn’t be more familiar with Lin Yun.
Second Elder, you’re saying it’s Lin Yun? Is there a basis for that? The hall master opened his mouth to enquire.
”Hall Master, I’ve heard before that before the operation, Elder Xiong accidentally leaked this mission, to Lin Yun. Other than the elders, he was the only disciple who knew about it! The second elder’s tone was firm.
There was actually this matter? The Hall Master’s English eyebrows frowned slightly.
Even the Third Elder and Fourth Elder looked surprised, they didn’t know about this matter.
Only the elders and Lin Yun, knew about this mission. The Elders had stayed in the Temple for hundreds of years, and were all absolutely loyal to the Temple, whereas he, Lin Yun, had just joined the Temple, and had yet to establish a sense of belonging to the Temple, and he was the most likely, to betray! The Second Elder’s words were solid.
”Second Elder, you said that Lin Yun knew about this matter, do you have proof?” The Palace Master inquired.
Of course there is! This matter, the Grand Elder was aware of it! The Second Elder looked towards the Grand Elder.
I do know that Elder Xiong told Lin Yun about this matter, but …… that doesn’t completely mean that it was Lin Yun who did it, with his character, I don’t think he, would do such a thing. The Grand Elder said.
”Great Elder, knowing people, if it’s not Lin Yun, could it be us, these Elders?” The second elder questioned.
I also don’t believe that there would be a traitor amongst us elders. That’s why I prefer to believe that it’s a coincidence. The First Elder said.
The Palace Master has said that it can’t be a coincidence, it’s definitely due to someone betraying the Holy Temple! The Second Elder’s tone was firm.
The First Elder didn’t reply any further, he also knew that at the moment, the evidence did seem to point to Lin Yun.
Immediately after, the second elder looked at the hall master.
”Hall Master, at the moment, Lin Yun possesses the greatest suspicion, I suggest that he be arrested immediately, under the means of our Sacred Temple, I don’t believe that he won’t tell the truth.” The second elder said in a cold voice.
The hall master shook his head: our holy temple, we can’t let a bad person go, but we can’t wrongly accuse a good person either, we can’t easily arrest someone before there is solid evidence.
The hall master continued: but also can’t let it go, must carry out an investigation, if it has nothing to do with him, naturally can return his innocence. If it is true that he betrayed the temple, he will definitely receive the punishment he deserves.
That’s right. The elders nodded their heads.
Also good. The first elder also nodded.
The second elder also had nothing to say.
”Elder Jiang, you inherited Elder Xiong’s seat, let’s leave this matter to you, carry out a full investigation and analysis of Lin Yun, and also keep a close watch on him, just in case.” The hall master said.
Obey! Elder Jiang answered.
The third elder opened his mouth and said: hall master, there’s one more thing, several of us elders, we discussed it before, the demon king sitting at the dark shadow gate has been seriously injured, now is an opportunity to take the chance to attack again and destroy the dark shadow gate in one fell swoop.
No, we can’t afford any more mistakes now. The traitor has not been caught out, if we go to attack again, once we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable! The Palace Master shook his head and said.
The Hall Master was so considerate. It was naturally prudent.
If another group of strong men were to be sent forward, once they were lost again, the Temple would be greatly wounded, and it would truly be over then.
The elders also nodded in agreement.
Right now, it was indeed prudent to be cautious.
Temple Master, then the matter of the Shadow Sect, and the matter of the demonic beast ……? The third elder inquired.
Effective immediately. The Temple enters a state of emergency, scatter half of the inner and outer disciples, then unite with the Cultivation House, search for the altar, find one, smash one! The hall master’s tone was stern.
Yes, sir! The elders answered in unison.
In addition, notify all the cultivation organisations in the country of China, and the cultivation organisations in other countries. Tell them to search for the relics with all their might as well, the altars should be spread all over the world. The Hall Master said.
The Hall Master continued: in addition, increase the investment of resources and train some more top pillars to fight against the Shadow Sect.
Yes!
The elders answered once again.
In the next period of time, the Temple must move, it absolutely cannot sit back and wait for death.
……
Hou Gui he was in front of the hut, practising his sword.
At this time, Lin Yun’s figure appeared.
”Hou Gui, this morning, you’re still running really fast.” Lin Yun said as he walked over.
What are you doing? Hou Gui put away his sword and glanced coldly at Lin Yun.
Our bet, you can’t have forgotten, right? I took first place, you should give me ten thousand spirit stones. Lin Yun calmly said.
That was just something I said casually, how dare you take it seriously? Hou Gui snorted.
In that case. You’re going to renege on your debt? Lin Yun frowned.
Anyway, that bet was proposed by you and I just casually answered it, so there’s no way I’m going to give the spirit stones. Whatever you say is useless. Hou Gui looked unimpressed.
I originally only thought that your strength was not good, but now it seems that you can’t even be considered a decent person, as a YuanYing cultivator. At least you have pride, but you can’t even afford to lose a bet, don’t you feel ashamed? Lin Yun’s gaze was grim.
Still the same words, you can say whatever you want. You don’t have any spirit stones if you want them, don’t get in the way of my cultivation.
After Hou Gui said this, he continued to swing the short sword in his hand.
Ten thousand spirit stones was not a small amount, Hou Gui was obviously determined not to give it.
As expected, the world is invincible if you don’t have a face. Lin Yun said in a cold voice.
Lin Yun guessed that Hou Gui would push back.
But Lin Yun did not expect that Hou Gui would directly deny the bet and not give it.
One must know that cultivators generally had pride and didn’t care to deny it, and cultivators also valued their reputation very highly.
As a result, Hou Gui was so shameless.
Hou Gui simply stopped paying attention to Lin Yun and practised his sword on his own, with a you-can-do-whatever-you-want look on his face.
The bet was made in public, since you don’t give it, then I can only ask your master for it, and when your master blames it, don’t blame me for not saying anything. Lin Yun said in a cold voice.
After saying that, Lin Yun directly turned around and left.
When Hou Gui saw Lin Yun leave, he turned his head to look at Lin Yun’s departing back.
Going to my master and I’m afraid? Ridiculous.
After Hou Gui finished speaking, he continued to practice his sword.
