Zai Cang couldn't help but frown, "I don't know if there are any hidden masters below."
"If there are none, so be it."
"And if there really are, that doesn't prove I arranged it, does it?"
He shook his head and smiled as he said, "Just because I told Fifth Brother the cause of Third Brother's death, you suspect I'm a mole?"
"This reason is a bit too flimsy, isn't it?"
"And another thing."
"Why are you so eager to identify me as the mole?"
"You want to get rid of me and pin it on the real mole, don't you?"
"If that's the case, then are you the real mole?"
He had successfully kicked the problem back to Number Two.
For a moment.
The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat tense.
Because no one knew who the real mole was.
You Xuan looked at Chen Nan, "Fifth Brother, you are the smartest among us. Why don't you find the mole hidden among us?"
Chen Nan's lips curled up, "Actually, it's very easy to distinguish the mole."
Everyone looked at Chen Nan in unison.
Awaiting his answer.
Chen Nan snapped his fingers.
Instantly.
Fifty stones rose into the air.
Flying to mid-air.
And under everyone's disbelieving eyes.
Forty-nine stones exploded in the air.
However.
They did not turn into fragments.
Instead, they transformed into wisps of blood mist that disappeared with the wind, vanishing into the heavens and earth.
This scene deeply shocked everyone.
No one had expected.
Those stones were actually transformed cultivators.
Even more unexpected.
Chen Nan's current strength was so terrifying.
The next moment.
The last remaining stone in the air transformed into an old man.
He was trapped in the void.
Unable to move.
But his eyes were full of fear and unease.
Of course.
He was not the only one in a panic.
The hall masters of the Rebellious Heaven Cult also had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
Because they could feel the strength of this old man, possessing the cultivation of the Earth Ghost realm.
A strong practitioner of the Earth Ghost realm was no match for Fifth Brother.
It was imaginable that Fifth Brother's strength had been restored to its peak.
Chen Nan asked indifferently, "Was it someone among us who sent you?"
"Answer honestly, and I'll spare your life."
"Otherwise, those people are your predecessors." He glanced at Ji Ba.
Ji Ba understood.
He immediately poured another bowl of wine for Chen Nan.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," the old man said in extreme fear.
But as his gaze fell upon the other people present.
His pupils trembled violently.
He then spat out a mouthful of black poisonous blood.
His head drooped, and he lost his life.
This sudden turn of events made everyone feel regretful.
After all.
They were only one step away from the truth.
Who could have imagined.
The truth, which had been within reach, had thus slipped away from them.
"Fourth Brother, you are the most skilled in using poison among us. Do you know what kind of poison he took?" Number Two looked at Fourth Brother, a meaningful smile on his face.
A hint of coldness flashed in Fourth Brother's eyes, "What do you mean, Second Brother? After slandering Sixth Brother, you've come to slander me?"
Number Two grinned, revealing a sinister smile, "I'm just asking what kind of poison he took, I didn't say you were the mole, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Could it be that you're guilty?"
Fourth Brother snorted heavily, "Any medicinal herb, when fused with other herbs, can become a new type of poison. Even if I'm skilled in using poison, how can I distinguish which poison this person took?"
"Sixth Brother is right, you are the mole among us."
Seventh Brother offered his opinion, "If Second Brother were truly the mole, what benefit would he gain from this except to arouse our suspicion?"
Zai Cang sneered, "Not necessarily. The more he acts like this, the more he creates the illusion that he is not the mole, because no one would think the mole is an idiot."
Number Two was furious, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"Alright, alright," You Xuan sighed and offered his opinion, "In my opinion, among the seven of us, excluding Fifth Brother."
"Everyone else could be the mole."
Pfft!
Chen Nan spat out the wine he had just taken.
Good heavens.
You guys really know how to play.
This is like eliminating the correct answer first.
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ji Ba couldn't help but ask.
Chen Nan suppressed his guilt and pretended to be calm, "Nothing, there was dregs in the wine."
"En, you guys continue, continue."
This show was getting more and more interesting.
Even he couldn't tell who the mole was for the moment.
Although Zai Cang gave him an extremely dangerous signal.
But he was full of integrity.
Even if his background was extraordinary, he shouldn't be the mole.
"Fifth Brother, don't keep us in suspense any longer, tell us your thoughts!" Ji Ba said.
Chen Nan tilted his head back, drank the wine in his bowl, and said slowly, "Who those people were... it's very easy to guess!"
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"They should be from the King of another surname's side, right?"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's gaze became serious.
Ten thousand years ago, the Rebellious Heaven Cult's rebellion failed. Gao Xi, the King of another surname, was the stumbling block.
If the King of another surname, Gao Xi, had not suddenly appeared.
They might have overthrown the rule of Emperor Fengdu.
"Fifth Brother, why are you so sure they are Gao Xi's people?" Fourth Brother looked at Chen Nan with great curiosity.
Chen Nan said, "Gao Xi was bestowed favor by the Emperor for stopping our rebellion, and became the King of another surname."
"Although he held immense power, there were three forces in the court."
"Prime Minister Lin Yuan."
"Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu."
"Either of these two forces was not weaker than Gao Xi in influence."
"Especially since the current court sentiment is extremely unfavorable to the King of another surname."
"Once the reform succeeds and all noble titles are revoked."
"Even if the title of King of another surname is retained, his power will be nominal."
"So."
"To change the current situation."
"To consolidate his position in the court."
"The best way is to achieve a great accomplishment."
"But..."
"Where are there so many great accomplishments in the world?"
"Speaking of great accomplishments, perhaps there is nothing more significant than uncovering the remnants of the Rebellious Heaven Cult, right?"
Zai Cang asked incomprehensibly, "Why not Prime Minister Lin Yuan, and Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu?"
Ji Ba said, "Yes, why are you so certain it's the King of another surname?"
Chen Nan smiled, "Prime Minister Lin Yuan has always been trying to implement reforms, wanting to abolish noble titles. How could he have time to bother with us, the remnants from ten thousand years ago?"
"As for Imperial Tutor Zheng Yu..."
"That's even more impossible."
"I've been dealing with them all along."
"They haven't put any thought into finding us, the remnants of the Rebellious Heaven Cult."
Number Two suddenly realized, "Fifth Brother is right. Using the method of elimination, only the King of another surname could mobilize so many Earth Ghost realm experts to ambush us here."
"No one else could have done it."
"But, who is the mole lurking among us?"
Chen Nan revealed a meaningful smile, "Aren't you the mole?"
