nyway. Why would he refuse“Boy, where's your little foodie” During the trip, the young lady suddenly remembered the muncher by逍遙's side. She had initially intended to use it to pass time.Eating is qui...Chapter 225 Unexpected Turn of Events 1
Just as Eastern Wunian was about to act, Xianyao suddenly spoke up —
"Second Miss, it's better for you to listen! Since she says this, there must be a way to stop you. Or maybe, they actually need to stop you because their attack might have already started!"
“Indeed, watching you was the right choice. You're very smart. Yes, we've taken action; everyone in this area has been removed! How did you find out” the young lady said with a smile.
Cleared out What does that mean Eastern Wunian actually understood what that meant but was afraid to accept it because she couldn't believe the answer.
"You being here already explains everything. If they hadn't cleared everyone else out, how would such a noble person like you be able to come into contact with the enemy" Xianyao said coolly.
“True, I am the answer!” the young lady chuckled. “Since this female demon leader is here, there must also be many small demons and demon disciples around her.”
"Impossible!!" Eastern Wunian shook her head. "This place belongs to Heavenly Gate; how could so many people enter undetected This is absolutely impossible!"
“Others might not manage it, but the demonic cult has a way of doing this. They possess unique skills that are hard to guard against. The person in front of you also possesses such a skill—one that can control others and confuse everyone!” Xianyao said.
"Who is she" Eastern Wunian frowned. If Xianyao was saying this, it must be true; she had heard about the demonic cult's extraordinary abilities before.
“I think her name is Black Snow,” Xianyao answered uncertainly.
Black Snow—correct, this young lady was the Black Snow that Xianyao met previously. She was from the Thirty-Six Branches of the demonic cult and could use Heavenly Demon’s Voice.
"Why do you say 'I think'" Eastern Wunian asked with puzzlement.
“Because I don't know if this is her real name. Back then, she didn’t introduce herself as a member of the demonic cult to me; instead, she was an opera singer,” Xianyao said.
"I am Black Snow and I have never lied to you. I just concealed my identity within the demonic cult. Other identities are still identities, and my name is also true," Black Snow said looking at Xianyao.
“Black Snow… ” Eastern Wunian pondered; she wanted to find this key information from her memories but clearly couldn't.
Although Black Snow’s identity was quite high-profile, everyone only knew about her identity as an opera singer. Few people were aware of her demonic cult affiliation; it had been revealed during the event in the Tang Empire, where most people kept quiet. Therefore, to most people, she remained a famous opera singer.
The demonic cult Impossible!
“Don't think too much about it now; let's go outside and see what’s going on, how many people from the demonic cult have arrived, and what they intend to do!” Xianyao said as she walked towards the exit.
"Outside has already been controlled. We spent four months preparing for today alone, and more than half of the Thirty-Six Branches of the demonic cult are here now; it's entirely possible to take down Heavenly Gate!" Black Snow slowly followed Xianyao without any urgency whatsoever, which only made Eastern Wunian feel more anxious.
Black Snow’s calmness was telling her that things were already under the control of the demonic cult.
"The Thirty-Six Branches of the demonic cult... do you really need such a large-scale operation" Xianyao said somewhat無力地說道。
The thirty-six branches of the demonic sect were an absolutely formidable force on the continent, capable of destroying an entire empire. Even if the ten major martial arts sects united, it was uncertain who would win or lose. However, dealing with a single branch of the demonic cult, even its strongest one, was relatively easy.
Even if not all members had come, more than half were sufficient to easily defeat Heavenly Gate in direct confrontation. Moreover, they had planned meticulously and launched an ambush under Heavenly Gate's unpreparedness. If everything went perfectly, they might not have to shed a single drop of blood to take over the place.
“Do you think I want to If possible, I would like to keep it all for myself. But to destroy Heavenly Gate, even with the Celestial Melody Valley alone, it's impossible without significant sacrifices! Also, there are things here that our Celestial Melody Valley can't handle; they originally belong to everyone in our demonic sect. Cooperation is the best option,” Black Snow said. At this point, a few people had already arrived at the training grounds outside.
When Xianyao first entered, it was bustling with activity, but now it was eerily quiet. One group of people surrounded another in the middle, and those inside seemed to have their powers restrained—perhaps by drugs or special techniques, anyway; they couldn't resist any longer.
The other group outside wore similar Heavenly Gate uniforms, seemingly belonging to Heavenly Gate as well!
"Why, why did you betray the Heavenly Gate" Just as Xianyao appeared, he heard someone inside ask those people. Clearly, they were resentful because they had been ambushed; if they had faced them head-on, they would have felt confident in winning.
Moreover, their eyes held not just resentment but hatred. This hatred Xianyao understood, given the numerous bloody scenes beside him and many casualties!
"You must be very puzzled why these people betrayed you. Actually, it's quite simple: they never betrayed you in the first place; they were always ours." Black Snow said at this moment, not to answer those inside but just to tell Xianyao.
"Are they all spies" Eastern NoThought gritted his teeth and asked.
"To you, yes. To us, they are undercover agents! For the number one martial arts sect in the world, even without today's incident, we would have planted people inside anyway." Black Snow smiled, "Some of them have been with your Heavenly Gate for decades; it’s a pity, but if not for this major matter at hand, we wouldn’t have wasted such valuable pawns."
"You’re too despicable!!" Eastern NoThought said hatefully. She was angry at these spies, and even more so because she couldn’t believe that some of them were people whom she thought highly of.
At this moment, she didn’t know that this was only part of the story; there were things far beyond her imagination waiting to be revealed—the highest-ranked undercover agents in Heavenly Gate were actually Elders!!
"What do you call despicable Such undercover agents exist everywhere. We have them too in our Evil Sect, just not found yet!" Black Snow said nonchalantly, and what she said was an indisputable fact.
In any sect or organization, there are always undercover agents of all sorts, some of whom will remain undetected until the end without ever being used. However, once they are put into use, they can produce incredible effects.
Such pawns are placed by anyone with potential enemies in mind, and considering that the Evil Sect is universally acknowledged as an enemy, it means that every organization has Evil Sect's undercover agents among them to some degree.
Heavenly Gate was a prominent force, so naturally, many were planted there!
In fact, at this moment, Black Snow still felt a bit regretful. If not for the underground palace, she wouldn’t have used these long-hidden pawns; they might be very useful in the future. But now, she had no choice but to take control here.
"Why did you come here" Eastern NoThought asked.
"Why That’s not something I’m going to explain for now. All I can say is, if you want to blame someone, blame the person who chose this place as Heavenly Gate's headquarters!!" Black Snow said with a smile.
"Are you joking If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. Don't use such an excuse to deceive me! Our Heavenly Gate has been here for more than two thousand years; how have we gotten in your way"
This wasn’t from Eastern NoThought but the controlled Eastern Indifferent, her eyes looking at Xianyao with a hint of resentment.
Clearly, by now, Xianyao had been identified as an undercover agent for the Evil Sect—i.e., a spy!!
"Sister!!" Eastern NoThought shouted and ran over since Eastern Indifferent was injured at this moment, looking quite worrying.
No one stopped Eastern NoThought’s action because having her inside would make it easier to control them all!
"Hehe, great, you sisters can have a reunion!! I give you the chance to talk properly! And by the way, my reason isn’t to deceive you. I don't have the energy or intention to lie; right now, you’re just fish on a chopping block!"
"For two thousand years, I feel lucky it’s over, and yet none of you discovered this place's secret. Hehe, no wonder; you didn’t deserve to know!" Black Snow said with a smile, "Let's go; there are some people who miss you and want to see you."
"Can I stay behind Let them watch me." Xianyao frowned, somewhat resistant. He felt that the person he was going to meet with Black Snow would be troublesome.
"No, I must keep an eye on you every step of the way; who knows what you’ll do, even a few words could change everything. And besides, there are some matters where we might need your help!" Black Snow rejected Xianyao’s proposal directly, pulling his hand without any qualms and heading up the mountain towards what seemed to be Heavenly Gate’s assembly hall, one of its most important places.
Generally speaking, the sect leader should have been there!
"What are you planning The battle above is at Emperor-level or higher; it's very dangerous for us. We need protection, so don’t go causing trouble up there." Xianyao didn't want to go up because the place where the sect leader was would definitely be the strongest battleground.
Xianyao could sense several overwhelming auras battling above him, none of which he could handle now. What's strange is that among them, there was one familiar to him.
