Chapter 953 - 862: Who is the Undercover Agent
Hall of the Forbidden Seer.
The white bone coffin was opened, and the Forbidden Master’s third bone—a femur—was placed inside.
As the femur was entered into the white bone coffin, Hui’an and the others clearly saw the entire coffin trembling slightly.
“The Forbidden Master… must be very excited as well, with the third bone in place, this time it’s even more stable!”
Interpretation Master Huihe said with a slight smile.
The others were also full of anticipation.
Finally, the lid of the coffin was closed.
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
Immediately, more intense “knocking” sounds came from inside the coffin lid!
Outside the white bone coffin, a Stone Mirror that was hanging there was trembling as if it was using all its strength to maintain a flickering image:
It showed the inside of the white bone coffin, where three pieces of “new bone” that had resurrected were disassembling all of the Forbidden Master’s old bones!
The old bones trembled, but they couldn’t resist at all!
The skull was cowering in a dark corner, shivering fearfully.
Then the image on the Stone Mirror seemed unable to hold up and disappeared again.
The crowd looked at each other in consternation.
What was this situation?
Three new bones dismantled all the old bones?
They inevitably looked towards Interpretation Master Huihe.
Huihe pondered for a moment before saying:
“The Forbidden Master is very eager!”
“It voluntarily disassembled its bones… It’s in a hurry to have them taken out for resurrection!”
As if to confirm his words, the lid of the white bone coffin suddenly opened, tossing out three bones!
On seeing this, everyone was immediately impressed!
“Brother Huihe… truly worthy to be the Interpretation Master!”
“Amazing, to guess the Forbidden Master’s thoughts!”
“The Forbidden Master really is in a hurry. Look, this time directly giving us three bones…”
They all gave thumbs up to Huihe!
Huihe was somewhat elated but still smiled modestly and said:
“We need to act quickly.”
“This time, according to Elder Du, it’s possible that three Evil Corpses will emerge simultaneously… This is also a great opportunity for the Forbidden Master!”
Having said that, he paused and then continued:
“To be able to safely return the Ban Master’s Bone is a great merit!”
“Those called Song Jiyuan and Ao Wushuang should be promoted and must be a focus for cultivation!”
“Song Jiyuan promoted to Inner Sect Elder, Ao Wushuang promoted to Outer Sect Elder!”
“Give these three bones to them, let them continue to build accomplishments!”
“Tell them, if they succeed… there will be a substantial reward!”
Outer Sect Elder Wan Chongyun, hearing this, immediately had a complex look in his eyes.
This was just a short one or two months.
Song Jiyuan and Ao Wushuang had climbed from the very bottom tier of the organization to the position of elder… This rate of promotion was unprecedented!
“Understood!”
He promptly took the three pieces of the Ban Master’s Bone and withdrew.
…
Following that, Huihe and the rest discussed and conveyed a message concerning the Sacrificial Temple.
After all, to welcome the beings who were smuggling themselves over from the other side of the Heavenly Abyss, the support of the Sacrificial Temple was needed.
“We can’t let the Sacrificial Temple know the truth…”
Hui’an spoke up.
Hiding the existence of beings like the Sword Ancestor from the Grey Mist Sea in the True Ancestor World—such a matter was top secret and connected to so much!
It absolutely couldn’t be leaked.
“Right, the Sacrificial Temple was left by the one at the End of Myriad Paths, once they find out our real intentions, who knows if they will turn against us…”
Everyone was discussing.
They had to make the Sacrificial Temple willingly welcome the beings from the Grey Mist Sea.
At the same time, they had to deceive the Sacrificial Temple, so they couldn’t learn the truth.
“That’s easy.”
At this moment, Huihe coldly smiled and said:
“The Sacrificial Temple has always seen Wu Jianghe, Ji Wudan, and Changsun Bumie as major threats. Previously, didn’t they suspect that Wu Jianghe obtained the Martial Sovereign Method?”
“Let Wu Jianghe take the blame for this!”
“Tell the Sacrificial Temple that through the Martial Sovereign Method, Wu Jianghe has become an Ascendant!”
“By then, they will still rely on us, and we… naturally can ask them to help welcome the beings from the Grey Mist Sea.”
After Huihe finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
…
Soon after, at the Sacrificial Temple.
“What?”
“Wu Jianghe isn’t dead?!”
The Ultimate Beings were all somewhat shocked for a moment.
“Such a powerful aura erupted in the Martial Desolate Realm… and it still couldn’t kill an unascended being?”
Wu Jiandao’s face was filled with confusion.
“The abilities of the Ban Explorers… are that weak?”
“Do we really have to take action ourselves?”
They were all somewhat impatient.
Yet, Ji Wulu spoke expressionlessly:
“According to the message from the Ban Explorers, Wu Jianghe… has now used the Martial Path to become an Ascendant!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked, disbelief apparent in their eyes.
“Wu Jianghe… has become an Ultimate Being?!”
Ning Tianji, full of incredulity, said:
“Impossible!”
Elder Grandson Changqing paused for a moment, his eyes seemingly filled with excitement, but he suppressed it firmly, took a deep breath, and exhibited a worried expression, saying:
“Now that he has ascended… it will be even more difficult to handle!”
Even Wu Jiandao was disgruntled at this point and said:
“This must be false news! That traitor… how could he possibly have come this far?”
As the elder ancestor of the Martial Clan with the complete Nine Laws in his possession, he had tampered with the laws given to Wu Jianghe in the past, preventing him from successful ascension.
Now, the other party was about to stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
Unacceptable!
“There’s nothing impossible about it.”
Ji Wulu said solemnly:
“The Martial Sovereign Method has triggered the Ultimate Celestial Phenomenon, which, in a sense, is not weaker than the Nine Laws!”
“And Wu Jianghe was always a rare Martial Path genius, aside from Wu Jiandao, he was the one with the most potential to master the Martial Sovereign Method in this world.”
His words cast a heavy atmosphere over the entire hall.
“Who would have thought, after we sealed away countless eons, now we still let a fish leap over the dragon gate!”
Ning Tianji spoke up:
“We must strike him down!”
Murderous intent surged!
“Yes, once this man reaches the High Road Level, we absolutely cannot take him lightly anymore.”
Jiang Shanjin also chimed in agreement.
Elder Grandson Changqing, however, hesitated as he said,
“But we still cannot leave the Sacrificial Temple… otherwise, who can ensure that, once we go out, no one will take the path of the Blood Rush Mist Sea in secret?”
The Blood Rush Mist Sea had pointed the way forward, but in a sense, it also prevented them from leaving the Sacrificial Temple.
Distrust of each other prevailed; everyone was worried someone else might attain their path to immortality quietly.
Ji Wulu looked indifferently at Elder Grandson Changqing and said,
“Elder Grandson, you need not worry.”
“The Ban Explorers have a way to obliterate Wu Jianghe.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone was even more suspicious.
“Can they… kill someone at the High Road Level?”
“It’s said that within the Ban Explorers, there is the power of the High Road Level hidden. But how can they be so confident of a sure kill?”
Ji Wulu simply said,
“They want our help, to guide the beings coming over from the Grey Mist Sea.”
The other Ultimate Beings were immediately shocked!
“Beings are coming over from the Grey Mist Sea?”
“The Ban Explorers’ influence truly extends into the Grey Mist Sea…”
“The corpses of the three Supremes filling the Heavenly Abyss, has it finally made the bridge within the Heavenly Abyss strong enough to bear the trespassers…”
Everyone’s expressions grew solemn.
They all knew what this meant… the Era of the Latter White Mist might be coming to an end!
The assault of the Grey Mist Sea was an unstoppable trend.
“It is good this way, to establish substantial contact with the Grey Mist Sea sooner rather than later.”
Ning Tianji nodded in approval.
“The Era of the Latter White Mist will eventually end, and it is the Grey Mist Sea that lies ahead…”
“In time, perhaps the entire Ancestral Realm will cease to exist… but we shall live eternally supreme amidst the mist.”
Everyone nodded and smiled faintly.
Following this, Ji Wulu turned his gaze toward Wu Jiandao and Elder Grandson Changqing, saying,
“Brother Wu, Elder Brother Grandson, could you two help with the guiding?”
He stared at them!
Elder Grandson Changqing shook his head and said,
“Our Changsun Family people stationed at the Great Wall all died two hundred years ago. Currently, we have no one there.”
Wu Jiandao, on the other hand, said coldly,
“Why should my Martial Clan do it?”
He was reluctant.
Though they were all prepared to pledge allegiance to the Grey Mist Sea,
the first to actively guide a being from the Grey Mist Sea into the True Ancestor World…
Would undoubtedly bear a tremendous burden of infamy!
Ji Wulu heard the words, his smile not quite reaching his eyes, and said,
“Are you unwilling?”
“My Ji Family will share the burden of this infamy with you. How about that?”
Wu Jiandao’s brow furrowed slightly. Ji Wulu’s words had reached this point, so it was inconvenient for him to refuse further. He immediately said,
“Agreed.”
…
Not long after, everyone in the great hall dispersed.
“Ning Brother,”
Ji Wulu had Ning Tianji stay behind and whispered privately,
“There is a traitor among us.”
He spoke bluntly!
Ning Tianji was shocked to hear this and looked at Ji Wulu, asking, “Who?!”
Ji Wulu said,
“At first, I suspected Elder Grandson Changqing, but now… Wu Jiandao is even more suspicious!”
“His descendant… has reached the High Road Level… the Martial Sovereign Method? You must know, the Nine Laws are the foundation. In the Era of the Latter White Mist, even if one obtained the Martial Sovereign Method, trying to ascend is generally met with certain death!”
Hearing this, Ning Tianji also couldn’t help but nod, saying,
“You mean… he secretly gave Wu Jianghe the Nine Laws?”
Ji Wulu’s face remained expressionless as he said,
“Exactly.”
“That’s why I want his people, together with mine, to do the guiding!”
“I want to see if he truly is a person… or a ghost!”
Ning Tianji nodded deeply, saying,
“Understood… If he truly is a traitor…”
Ji Wulu said coldly, “You and I will strike unexpectedly, simultaneously, and destroy him!”
This was why he had Ning Tianji stay behind!
As Ultimate Beings, it would be difficult for him alone to kill Wu Jiandao.
But if Ning Tianji joined in the attack, especially in a surprise attack… they would be assured victory.
Ning Tianji said,
“Got it… if it’s confirmed, he won’t survive!”
Murderous intent was on the rise!
Afterward, Ning Tianji departed from the Sacrificial Temple, returning to his place of seclusion.
But, just upon arriving, a voice had already reached him.
“Ning Brother,”
Ning Tianji turned around and saw Elder Grandson Changqing had appeared.
“Elder Grandson? What are you doing here?”
Ning Tianji’s expression was rather cold.
But Elder Grandson Changqing was somber as he said,
“There’s something Elder Grandson must tell only to Ning Brother… hence, I had to come.”
“Because within the entire Sacrificial Temple, you are the only one I can trust!”
Ning Tianji said suspiciously, “What is it?”
Elder Grandson Changqing said,
“There is definitely a traitor inside the Sacrificial Temple.”
Now this took Ning Tianji by surprise. This Elder Grandson Changqing… his approach was somewhat similar to Ji Wulu’s?
He probed,
“Who?”
Elder Grandson Changqing said,
“I originally suspected Ji Wulu, but now it seems… Wu Jiandao is even more suspicious!”
Ning Tianji:
“…”
…
