Chapter 51 Eradicating the Demonic Threat!
"Ancestor!"
Wang Song, who was bound, felt despair in his heart.
The Nine Heavens Holy Land had two Tribulation Crossing realm ancestor-level figures, and it was precisely because these two great powers were stationed here that the current demon race and beast race dared not openly tear up the original peace treaty.
"Wang Song, I never expected you to actually be a demon race spy!"
A voice filled with anger appeared beside his ear.
In front of Wang Song, an old man in a white robe suddenly appeared, with white hair and beard, possessing an immortal demeanor, just like an ordinary neighborhood old man.
This person was one of the two great ancestors of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Gu Tiandi.
Gu Tiandi had never imagined that within the power center of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, among the twelve elders, there was actually a demon race spy. This meant that all movements of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were completely exposed to the demon race's sight.
This matter was also a great humiliation for the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
"Hahaha, so what if I am? The iron cavalry of my demon race is already ready to strike. Your human race has been weakening continuously for tens of thousands of years. Do you still think you are the same as you were tens of thousands of years ago? The mighty Four Holy Lands of the human race only have two Tribulation Crossing realm experts. How many are there in total, yet they occupy the vast and resource-rich Eastern Continent!"
Wang Song looked at Gu Tiandi, who was floating half a meter in front of him, with a slightly ferocious smile.
Then, before Wang Song could continue speaking.
Gu Tiandi casually raised his hand, and under the immense force, he directly blasted Wang Song's physical body into a small pile of meat paste. At the same time, a faint smell of blood spread from the surroundings.
From within the meat paste, a remnant shadow suddenly flew out, as if trying to escape.
But it was caught by Gu Tiandi with a casual grab and held in his hand.
Subsequently, Gu Tiandi imprisoned the remnant soul and stored it in his storage space. As a demon race spy, Wang Song not only knew about the situation of the Nine Heavens Holy Land but must also have known some things about the demon race. What Gu Tiandi wanted to do was to squeeze out this bit of remaining value from him.
"For the position left vacant by Wang Song, I already have a candidate. You should all quickly return to your respective stations!"
After putting away Wang Song's remnant soul, Gu Tiandi said to the remaining eleven members of the elder council.
After speaking, he merged into the void and disappeared without a trace.
"It's truly ridiculous that there was a demon race spy within the Nine Heavens Holy Land's elder council, hidden for a thousand years. However, I am quite curious about Lin Xuan, the Holy Son who created that talisman. His contribution to the sect this time is obvious to all!"
After Gu Tiandi left, among the remaining eleven members of the elder council, the only female elder, Fang Qing, said with a hint of curiosity in her phoenix eyes.
The other elders of the council also became curious about Lin Xuan.
At the same time, they marveled at Lin Xuan's good fortune of inheriting the legacy of the Beiming Emperor, which was a good thing for the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land.
"However, if the escaped demon race spies were to learn that Lin Xuan inherited the legacy of the Beiming Emperor, according to their methods, they would definitely not stop until they achieved their goal. They would surely spare no effort to kill Lin Xuan."
Fang Qing pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Hmph, that depends on whether the people sent by their demon race have the guts to charge into our Nine Heavens Holy Land!"
The black-faced Li Lie on one side snorted coldly.
Afterward, after exchanging a few words, the several of them each headed toward the guardian giant peaks they were stationed at.
The duty of their twelve-member elder council was not only to decide on major events but also to guard the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land.
At the same time.
Within the inner sect, Lin Xuan.
Initiated a frantic sweep mode.
Behind him followed the two great elders of the Enforcement Hall, responsible for assisting his actions.
Lin Xuan knew that he must quickly root out the demon race members he had not yet discovered. Now that Wang Song was dead, he might have left behind sleeper agents within the Nine Heavens Holy Land. And his initial action of frantically searching for demon spies on every inner disciple's giant peak would naturally lead them to suspect him.
One must realize how difficult it was to plant a pawn like Wang Song.
And since Lin Xuan had removed this chess piece, it would naturally provoke their fury.
This anger would clearly be directed at him in large part.
Inner sect, Green Wood Peak.
Because the entirety of Green Wood Peak was a spiritual tree that had grown for tens of thousands of years, due to the passage of time, many rocks, sand, and soil had been moved to the outside of some of its branches. Numerous palaces were built upon it, and over time, it became a peak used for cultivation.
With the augmentation of the Dragon Wings, Lin Xuan was like a bolt of lightning, instantly flying over to Green Wood Peak.
Hovering a hundred meters above Green Wood Peak, he looked down. What met his eyes was a giant tree canopy covering hundreds of acres, and he also sensed a very dense wood-type spiritual energy.
If there were any inner sect disciples with a wood-type spiritual root, Green Wood Peak would be very suitable for them.
Immediately following, Bai Yutang and Ye Nantian, who were behind Lin Xuan, also caught up one after another. They stood behind him, respectfully waiting for Lin Xuan to issue a command.
Now, the two of them were very interested in Lin Xuan's movement secret art. This pair of wings could actually match the speed augmentation of the ninth-grade artifact, the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel.
Lin Xuan activated the system's detection function.
In his sight, the information of several thousand disciples instantly appeared.
At the same time, a gloomy color appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.
There were actually three disciples with demon race identities on Green Wood Peak, and they were all gathered in one place.
"You two, guard the outside of Green Wood Peak. Anyone who tries to come out, detain them and await my decision!"
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, the Dragon Wings on his back flapped violently, and he flew down toward Green Wood Peak below.
At the same time, Bai Yutang and Ye Nantian, following behind him, trapped Green Wood Peak from front and back.
At this moment, on Green Wood Peak.
Inside a rather secluded house, three inner sect disciples clad in blue robes gathered together with panicked expressions.
"The elder's jade token has shattered. It seems he has encountered danger. We should leave the Nine Heavens Holy Land quickly. With the few of us small fry, we can't collect any useful intelligence. If we escape, we might at least save our own lives!"
One of the slightly plump demon spies said.
"Leave? Even someone of the elder's level has been uncovered. If we leave immediately now, it's too abrupt. It's no different from courting death!"
The demon spy with a fair complexion beside him said.
"We are just ordinary inner sect disciples. Even if they want to investigate, there are so many inner sect disciples in the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land. They won't be able to get through them all in a short time. There's no need to panic yet. Let's wait and see how the situation develops first!"
The thin-looking demon spy among the three said slowly.
"Mm, you're right. Let's just act as if nothing happened for now!"
The slightly plump demon spy considered it for a moment; he had indeed acted without much thought just now.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door seemed to have been kicked open.
A young man in a Golden Sun Robe walked in. The young man had a resolute face, and his distinct black-and-white eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.
"Holy Son!"
The three cried out in unison, their eyes filled with terror!
