Chapter 848: Suspicion [4th Update]
The Second God stood at the top of the Divine Hall, like a god at the pinnacle of a pyramid, exuding supreme authority and dominance, compelling everyone to submit at their feet.
Beneath the Second God were the Ninja Emperor Commander, the Storm Envoy, and the Fist Emperor Commander. Due to the Ninja Emperor Commander's death, the Storm Envoy had now become one of the four major commanders, replacing the Ninja Emperor Commander's position.
Below the four major commanders were the Seven-Colored Envoys, who now had new members filling their ranks.
Under the Seven-Colored Envoys were the twenty-odd Legendary realm powerhouses of the Nine-layered Heaven, followed by the Half-step Legends of the Eighth Layer Heaven.
At the Seventh Layer Heaven, there were those who had reached Innate Perfection... then the Innate Peak of the Sixth Layer Heaven... descending in order, standing within the Divine Hall.
Shortly after, Ye Feng and his party arrived in front of the Second God and the others.
After Ye Feng and Asuka Hana arrived, Asuka Hana respectfully called out to the Second God, "Father..."
However, none of the four Second Gods responded to Asuka Hana, and the entire Divine Hall fell into a deep silence as everyone quietly watched Ye Feng, without uttering a word.
The atmosphere in the Divine Hall reached a peak of strangeness, and the sense of discomfort within Ye Feng intensified once more.
All eyes focused intently on Ye Feng.
The Second God, with four people and eight eyes in total, stared fixedly at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, scrutinized the Young Second God and the Old Second God. Both of their auras were very weak at the moment, clearly not having recovered to their peak state. Compared to their previous peak condition, their current auras felt like only seventy to eighty percent of that.
At this moment, the Middle-aged Second God stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Surround them for me!"
The command echoed throughout the Divine Hall, leaving Asuka Hana, Youcheng Chiyoda, and the others stunned.
"What's happening?" Asuka Hana looked confused.
Everyone sprang into action, instantly elevating their auras to their peak states.
Waves of True Essence continuously gathered together, creating a terrifying sea of Blood Qi that covered Ye Feng and his companions from above.
The fearsome killing intent descended, seemingly affecting the space itself, causing ripples above.
Ye Feng furrowed his brow as more than two thousand Martial Artists encircled him and his companions tightly, leaving no gap.
At this moment, Ye Feng and his party had no escape; every exit had been blocked.
Asuka Hana anxiously looked at the four Second Gods and loudly asked, "Father, what do you mean by this?"
The Middle-aged Second God's gaze bore an icy killing intent as he said, "What do I mean? Ask your husband well, right, traitor..."
Upon hearing the words of the Middle-aged Second God, Asuka Hana hurriedly said, "Father, you must have misunderstood something. He couldn't possibly be a traitor; there must be some kind of misunderstanding, it has to be!"
Yet Ye Feng remained absolutely calm, showing no sign of tension.
"What do you mean by this?" Ye Feng asked indifferently.
"What do I mean? Ye Feng, aren't you going to admit it? You are the traitor among our Luoying!" the Middle-aged Second God said.
Ye Feng showed no fear, instead, he coldly laughed, "Ridiculous, I'm the traitor? Laughable! I killed the Alien Shadow for you, helped you win the beast battles, and without me, could you accomplish these things? Or is it that my strength has made you feel threatened, so after using me, you're planning to get rid of me?"
"Good! Good!" the Middle-aged Second God replied coldly, "Then let me be clear! Yesterday, your follower Youcheng Chiyoda sent out a message to his family!"
Ye Feng looked at Youcheng Chiyoda, who hastily said, "Boss, I only informed my father about my recent activities. I even mentioned it to the Sword Emperor Commander and was given permission!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly, "You judge I'm a traitor just based on this?"
"Based on this alone, I can't judge naturally!" the Middle-aged Second God said, then looked at the Sword Emperor Commander.
"Ye Feng, you became too careless. Indeed, I allowed Youcheng Chiyoda to contact his family out of respect for you. The content they shared wasn't problematic, but the issue lies with the communication device!" the Sword Emperor Commander said.
"Communication device?" Youcheng Chiyoda was taken aback, then recalled he got his device from Zhou Mengyu.
"This is bad!" Zhou Mengyu's face immediately turned grim.
The Sword Emperor Commander said, "As we know, previously, the Thunder Envoy secretly deleted the information our Communication Department had copied and intercepted. Although the content was deleted, the communication method was still recorded, and the communication method of Zhou Mengyu's communicator and the emission method of the previously deleted information by the Thunder Envoy are exactly the same!
In Luoying, all signal transmissions are via signal towers, but only Zhou Mengyu's communication was satellite-based, and Zhou Mengyu came to Luoying with you. A simple check will show that there's a close connection between Zhou Mengyu and you!"
Ye Feng casually laughed, "To label me a traitor based solely on a signal emission method is too hasty, isn't it?"
"Of course, it's not rash at all! Firstly, your relationship with Zhou Mengyu connects to the deceased Thunder Envoy; when someone dies, they instinctively glance at their comrade! Although it sounds hasty, it's not without reason, and with all these factors combined, your suspicion is even greater!"
"And a few days ago, kid, you deliberately asked the Flame Envoy to get the DV camcorder, intentionally letting me discover it. The video recorded just happened to capture the three of them, but you weren't there, which clearly shows you're trying to sow discord between us. You knew the relationship between me and Old Ghost was the worst, the best to provoke, so you chose us!
With all these connections, you're definitely targeting Luoying, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all your signs indicate you're extremely suspicious, so today, better kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, you will undoubtedly die!"
Ye Feng laughed contemptuously, revealing disdain in his gaze, "So, regardless of whether I truly am a mole, you're determined to kill me today?"
"Exactly!" the four Second Gods replied in unison, their tones filled with indifference.
