886: 247 Chapter 4 886: 247 Chapter 4 “What?
Take action today?
So soon?” the Eclipse Demon was very surprised.
When Cao Zhen heard the conversation between the two, he also suddenly became nervous.
The Fourth Prince was preparing to take action against the Hundred Peaks Sect!
Qian Jiao glanced around, then looked toward a door nearby, motioned for the Eclipse Demon to follow her and entered the adjoining room.
After closing the door, she turned to the Eclipse Demon and said, “The reason why the Fourth Prince decided to act earlier is because he received news that Cao Zhen has already started heading back to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Moreover, Cao Zhen said that once he returns to the Hundred Peaks Sect, it won’t be long before his injuries will recover.
Although Cao Zhen is just one person, he is the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the master of many experts within the sect, and the spiritual pillar of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
If Cao Zhen returns to the Hundred Peaks Sect, it would be much more difficult to eradicate them.
Therefore, the Fourth Prince had no choice but to act earlier.”
Cao Zhen was instantly stunned, as if thunderbolts were exploding in his heart.
Ling Xi had received him, and he had only discussed his injuries with Yan Yourong.
But how did the Fourth Prince know about it?
Could it be that within the Hundred Peaks Sect, there were undercover agents of the Fourth Prince, and moreover, this agent held a very high and heavily regarded position within the sect?
After all, he had told his disciples that there might be members of the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, or even remnants from the previous dynasty within the sect, so a lot of information was only known by the senior echelons of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Now, however, this information had been leaked, clearly indicating that there was a traitor among the high-ranking officials of the Hundred Peaks Sect!
Ever since he came to this world, he had encountered disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect who were all wholeheartedly devoted to the sect.
When he and Lan Pili had been outside, Lan Pili was even willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of a disciple from the Hundred Peaks Sect, and those disciples were competing to sacrifice themselves.
Late, when the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and people from the Great Lai Dynasty attacked the Hundred Peaks Sect, several predecessors from the Hundred Peaks Sect were willing to self-destruct for the sake of the sect.
But now, he had discovered that besides a traitor among the upper echelon of the Hundred Peaks Sect!
The Eclipse Demon also seemed to realize why the Fourth Prince knew of this and whispered, “Did the Fourth Prince have people arranged within the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
Qian Jiao’s face suddenly changed upon hearing this and whispered, “Don’t ask me, I haven’t told you anything today.
In any case, just remember that whatever the Fourth Prince commands should be followed.
And as for the Sun and Moon Sect, we shall have to deal with the ten great Immortal Sects sooner or later.
Since we’re going anyway, let’s launch a direct attack.
If we can deal a severe blow to the Sun and Moon Demon Sect with the help of the Great Liang Dynasty, that would be ideal.”
After saying this, Qian Jiao had already pushed open the door and walked out.
Seeing that the two were no longer discussing anything crucial, Cao Zhen dared not delay and quickly connected with Yan Yourong through the China Cloud.
At Four Treasures Peak, after Yan Yourong returned to Four Treasures Peak, she took over the task of teaching the little junior brother and junior sister.
Mainly because earlier, Zi Yu and Little Beiyan were responsible for instructing the two little ones, and she truly wasn’t at ease.
She was instructing them when suddenly, her master’s voice echoed in her mind.
Previously, when the master looked for her, she was accustomed to speaking out loud, but after some time, she no longer spoke directly but responded in her mind, “Master, are you looking for your disciple?
Do you have any instructions?”
“I have something to ask you,” Cao Zhen asked gravely, “I had told you earlier that your senior sister and I had started heading back to the Hundred Peaks Sect, and my injury might heal after reaching the sect.
Who did you tell about this news?”
Yan Yourong was momentarily stunned, then recalled, “Disciple told the junior brother, junior sister, and the Vice Sect Master, as well as, the senior officials of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Disciple did not publicize this matter.
Master, why are you asking this?
Could it be?”
“We have a traitor in the Hundred Peaks Sect, and it is definitely among the high-ranking officials.” Cao Zhen said gravely, “The remnants of the previous dynasty’s Fourth Prince have learned of this, and now they are sending forces to attack our Hundred Peaks Sect today.”
“A traitor?” Yan Yourong’s breath instantly turned ice cold.
Nearby, both Duo Duo and Zhu Peng felt this chilling aura.
Even though it wasn’t directed at them, they were still so overwhelmed by it that they both fell to the ground.
Zhu Peng naively didn’t know what was happening but Duo Duo turned her head to look at Yan Yourong.
Seeing her motionless, Duo Duo’s face showed a look of astonishment.
What’s wrong with senior sister?
She seemed to have suddenly received some infuriating news?
But there wasn’t anyone nearby.
Could it be that the master conveyed some message to her?
But she hadn’t seen senior sister receiving any kind of sect chart or anything similar.
As for direct sound transmission?
The master was in a very far place; at such a distance, even if the master was a reincarnated being of great power, he couldn’t possibly complete sound transmission with senior sister.
What exactly was going on with senior sister?
Duo Duo wondered to herself.
Cao Zhen’s voice once again echoed in Yan Yourong’s mind: “I do not know who the traitor is, but I do know that the traitor is definitely in the high ranks.
Right now, the most important thing is, they are about to attack our Hundred Peaks Sect.
Go immediately to find Nie Jie and discuss how to defend.
We already know there is a traitor, so we must prepare in advance.
However, do not mention the traitor’s involvement.
But if they do attack directly, then you should not engage them immediately.
Keep an eye on the high-ranking officials of the Hundred Peaks Sect to guard against the traitor.”
