Divine King of Honour

Chapter 1992: So You’re the Spy

As time passed, it had been a full three days since Xu Nian started detoxifying Bai Li.

Now, a third of Bai Li’s poison had been absorbed, and it would take approximately five more days to complete the process.

However, the process was unlikely to be entirely peaceful.

If Xu Nian were to bring Bai Li into the Chaos Divine Palace, the cold poison could be easily absorbed.

After all, the thousandfold difference in time flow meant that for the outside, it would be less than two hours.

But by doing so, the Chaos Divine Palace would be exposed to Bai Li’s sight, and this was not something Xu Nian wished to see.

Hence, even if it meant taking risks, Xu Nian didn’t bring Bai Li into the Chaos Divine Palace.

At this moment, Xu Nian himself continued to devour the cold poison within Bai Li.

The dreadful cold poison placed Xu Nian in extreme agony.

Bai Li, however, seemed to recover a bit due to the reduction in poison. As she looked at the incredibly pained Xu Nian, a complex mix of emotions arose in her heart.

But with things as they were, she saw no need to stop it anymore.

Even if Xu Nian were to die, this process of devouring must be completed.

Outside the cabin, the Nine Infant Avatar was still sitting in a meditative position, though at this moment, its Divine Soul Power was continually probing the surroundings.

"Huh?"

At this moment, the Nine Infant Avatar suddenly opened its eyes, its expression immediately changing.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded, and the entire cabin began to shake violently.

"Under attack?"

Xu Nian hastily dashed to the bow of the ship.

In the sky ahead stood over a dozen people, five of whom were unexpectedly experts at the Daluo God Level.

Seeing this, Xu Nian’s eyes turned solemn.

Li Mu and the others also dashed out of the cabin.

Seeing the dozen people ahead, they immediately halted the Divine Ship.

"Damn, they’re from the Divine Wind Ghost Realm. The leader is Du Ming from the Divine Wind Ghost Realm, an expert at the Daluo God Peak Level," Li Mu said gravely.

Cheng Sanjian and An Zhihong also wore grave expressions.

Daluo God Peak?

Xu Nian’s heart instantly sank.

Indeed, it was the calm before the storm.

"Quick, quickly get Elder Bai Li, otherwise, with our strength alone, we can’t fend off Du Ming," Cheng Sanjian hastily said.

"Yes, with Elder Bai Li here, these people are no threat," Chen Mingshan hastily added.

"No way, the Great Elder is at a critical point in meditation and must not be disturbed," Xu Nian hurriedly stopped them.

"The leader is at Daluo God Peak; we can’t hold them off," Chen Mingshan said anxiously.

"Even so, we must hold as long as we can," Xu Nian firmly concluded.

At these words, all present looked gravely towards the direction of Bai Li’s cabin.

By logic, Elder Bai Li should have sensed the danger by now and interrupted her cultivation to come out.

Why was there no movement at all?

Could it be she truly closed herself off to the world?

But why would the Great Elder choose such a critical moment to shut herself away?

"I just sent a message to the Great Elder, but there was no response, which means Elder Bai Li is truly in seclusion," Li Mu said.

At these words, Cheng Sanjian and Chen Mingshan instantly fell silent.

"I feel something’s fishy about this. Elder Li Mu, wouldn’t the Great Elder usually notify you if she were going to meditate?"

At this time, An Zhihong, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly said.

"In such cases, if the Great Elder is truly in meditation, she would have sent me a message. This time, I didn’t receive any," Li Mu replied.

"Then this is strange; this means the meditation was decided on the spot by the Great Elder. But even then, she wouldn’t be so abrupt not to even notify Elder Li Mu. The elder even called Xu Nian for a private conversation before the seclusion. Since then, she has been meditating." An Zhihong cast a slightly hostile glance at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian suddenly looked at An Zhihong.

Well then!

The fox has finally shown its tail.

This old guy is the spy.

Xu Nian immediately made his judgment.

An Zhihong was targeting him at this time for one purpose only, which was to force Bai Li out.

And implicating Xu Nian was the best way to force Bai Li out.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Mu and the others all looked toward Xu Nian.

"Yes, Xu Nian was the last to see the Great Elder; could it be that the Great Elder was harmed by Xu Nian in secret," Chen Mingshan immediately said.

"Impossible. The Great Elder’s prowess, how could Xu Nian, a God, harm them?" Li Mu shook his head.

Cheng Sanjian also nodded and said, "Indeed, given the Great Elder’s strength, even a late-stage Daluo God would hardly injure them."

"Then what if it were through poisoning?" An Zhihong’s eyes flashed with a hint of malice.

Xu Nian’s eyes immediately narrowed.

So it really is him!

Now Xu Nian was one hundred percent sure that An Zhihong was the traitor who poisoned them.

Li Mu and Cheng Sanjian were taken aback by this.

"Yes, Xu Nian must have poisoned the Great Elder, which is why he hasn’t let us see the Great Elder. Maybe he’s the spy sent by the Divine Wind Ghost Realm," Chen Mingshan immediately stated.

At these words, Xu Nian felt speechless.

Chen Mingshan’s train of thought was quite surprising, labeling him as a spy.

But if he could think of the traitor angle, he wasn’t entirely foolish.

Xu Nian turned to look at An Zhihong, his eyes growing cold.

"Elder An, you are indeed the spy Elder Bai Li mentioned. The Great Elder and I set up a trap to lure you out, and you’ve really taken the bait. Great Elder, it’s time to clean house," Xu Nian suddenly called out to the cabin with a smile.

At these words, An Zhihong’s expression changed: "Impossible, Bai Li couldn’t have avoided poisoning. I..."

Halfway through his words, he abruptly stopped, glaring sharply at Xu Nian: "You tricked me?"

"What’s happening?" Li Mu and Cheng Sanjian were utterly shocked.

Initially, they were already suspicious of Xu Nian after hearing what An Zhihong said, but now it seemed that An Zhihong was indeed the spy?

Chen Mingshan was also dumbfounded.

Was there really a spy?

Did he actually say the right thing?

"Pfft!"

Just then, An Zhihong suddenly erupted, stabbing with a sword and instantly piercing Cheng Sanjian’s chest.

The powerful Thunderclap Attribute Daluo God Power instantly destroyed Cheng Sanjian’s body, annihilating his soul as well.

"You..." Cheng Sanjian looked at An Zhihong in disbelief.

But in the end, he still died without closing his eyes in peace.

"You seek death!" Li Mu immediately charged at An Zhihong upon seeing this.

However, An Zhihong was prepared, his figure flickering as he directly evaded Li Mu’s attack.

At the same time, he wielded a mighty Daluo God Artifact, directly breaking the defensive array of the Divine Ship.

"Haha, without this defensive array, you’re all doomed. Bai Li is currently poisoned with no one to save you. Haha." An Zhihong laughed heartily.

Behind him, the ship’s formation was disappearing bit by bit.

The faces of Li Mu and the others instantly changed dramatically.

Even Chen Mingshan’s face turned incredibly pale.

Without the formation, how could they fend off the Divine Wind Ghost Realm’s attack?
