Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 321

Chapter 321 The Heavenly Lord Grasps the Traitor

“Bastard—wait until I report this to the Heavenly Lord; I’ll see to it you’re killed!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s face was as dark as night. Just as he was about to slip away quietly, he paused.

“Words alone aren’t proof; I need evidence!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable secretly produced a memory stone and recorded everything happening in the Great Hall.

Only after that did he withdraw silently, leaving not a wisp of cloud behind.

After Haohai Heavenly Venerable left, Su Bai simply shook his head.

The Heavenly Palace is about to be turned upside down again!

Beside him, the figure from the Heavenly Palace also, at that moment, transformed into an exact copy of him.

The Second True Form!

Of course the traitor inside the Heavenly Palace was an illusion created by his Second True Form!

…………….

Realm Beyond the Heavens, Heavenly Palace Headquarters.

The Heavenly Lord sat in the chief seat, twirling a memory stone in his hand, watching Heavenly Venerables enter the Great Hall and take their places along the sides.

After a short while, dozens of Heavenly Venerables had gathered.

Naturally, those like Haohai Heavenly Venerable who were on covert missions were not present.

“Greetings, Heavenly Lord!”

“The Heavenly Lord summoned us today—what major matter do you have to arrange?”

“Has something important happened?”

The dozens of Heavenly Venerables clasped their fists and bowed, not yet understanding what was about to occur.

The Heavenly Lord’s gaze swept over them before he said coolly, “Close the doors, activate the array!”

At his command, in an instant the entire Great Hall was shrouded by a peculiar force.

Boom—

The Heavenly Palace trembled. A terrifying pressure spread out, occupying every inch of space.

One by one, seals were laid across the Heavenly Palace, locking down the surrounding space and cutting off divine senses.

“Huh? Heavenly Lord, what are you doing?”

“Could a powerful enemy be invading?”

“Or is the Heavenly Dao Sect storming in?”

The Heavenly Venerables exchanged astonished looks, their faces paling.

“Everyone, be calm!!!”

“This is a banquet!!!”

“You will soon understand.”

A sly, menacing smile curved the Heavenly Lord’s lips as he spoke slowly.

“A banquet…”

“Heavenly Lord, this…”

“What kind of banquet is this?!!”

The Heavenly Venerables were baffled but maintained their composure, waiting quietly.

The Heavenly Dao Sect wouldn’t dare attack here—at least, they shouldn’t.

“Do you wish to know why I summoned you?” The Heavenly Lord looked down at them with a frigid tone now that everything was prepared.

“We beg you to speak plainly, Heavenly Lord—we’re listening!” Several invincible Heavenly Venerables near the front hurriedly replied.

“Previously, members of the Shadow Clan went to hunt outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but were countered by an ambush the sect had prepared, resulting in the Shadow Clan’s Heavenly Venerables being annihilated while the Heavenly Dao Sect suffered no losses.”

“This happened not because the Heavenly Dao Sect is invincible, but because there is a traitor within our Heavenly Palace—and that traitor is right here in the Great Hall!!”

“Today, I will unmask that traitor before all of you and sentence them to death!!!”

The Heavenly Lord’s voice was icy to the bone, making everyone shiver and their expressions change drastically.

A traitor among them?

Immediately, the Heavenly Venerables scanned the hall, eager to see which one of them could be so brazen as to conspire with the Heavenly Dao Sect.

But no matter how they looked, they still couldn’t tell who the traitor was.

“Everyone, surround the chief of the Spirit Clan and the five heavenly venerables of his clan!!!”

“Now! Immediately!! At once!!!”

Suddenly, a flash of ruthlessness crossed the Heavenly Lord’s eyes as he issued the command to the dozens of heavenly venerables below.

“Yes!!!”

In an instant, dozens of heavenly venerable experts burst forward, encircling the Spirit Clan members.

The Spirit Clan chief and his several heavenly venerables, who had been idly watching, were dumbfounded in an instant.

What—what was the meaning of this??

“Heavenly Lord, what are you doing?”

The Spirit Clan chief’s expression changed abruptly as he asked in a deep voice.

“Doing? Aren’t you clear about what you yourself did?”

“Hmph, colluding with the Heavenly Dao Sect, pretending to defect to our Heavenly Palace and causing heavy losses to my palace—your crimes are heinous!”

The Heavenly Lord snorted coldly.

“What? My Spirit Clan colluded with the Heavenly Dao Sect???”

The Spirit Clan chief was stunned, his face full of bewilderment.

If his clan had colluded with the Heavenly Dao Sect, would they have had to bring the whole clan to surrender to the Heavenly Palace?

“Heavenly Lord, there must be some mistake. My Spirit Clan has had no contact with the Heavenly Dao Sect whatsoever—how could we defect to them?”

“I can swear to Heaven: if my Spirit Clan truly colluded with the Heavenly Dao Sect, may we be struck by heavenly punishment!!!”

The Spirit Clan chief cried out, urgently explaining.

“Hahaha, swear?”

“Do you take me for a three-year-old?”

“Death is at your door and you don’t even realize it. Very well, then I will let you die with full clarity!!”

“Hmph!!”

“Everyone, look!”

The Heavenly Lord waved his great hand. The memory stone in his palm was activated, projecting an image into the air.

The image was somewhat blurry—the recording position hadn’t been ideal—but it didn’t prevent everyone from watching.

In the footage was the Great Hall of the Heavenly Dao Sect; Sect Master Su Bai was sharing a drink with someone.

“Daoist Jade Spirit, you’ve suffered these years, hiding inside that Heavenly Palace. You must have endured many grievances.”

“When the time comes and my Heavenly Dao Sect levels the Heavenly Palace, we will surely rescue you and your clansmen. Please await the good news.”

“Haha, Sect Master Su, you’re too polite. Who in All Under Heaven wouldn’t want to tear into that wolf-hearted Heavenly Palace and drink its blood?”

“I have only removed a scourge for the world’s living beings!!!”

“I suppose the Heavenly Lord is fretting now, unable to understand why his hunt ended before it even began, hahaha!”

“With Daoist Jade Spirit among us, my Heavenly Dao Sect’s sweeping of the Heavenly Palace is imminent!”

“If the Heavenly Palace plans any major moves, they will pass information along. Sect Master Su, it’s late; I will take my leave.”

“I hope when we meet again, Daoist Friend will still be as bold as today!!!”

…………….

The footage cut off there.

The projection not only captured the man’s appearance, it recorded their conversation clearly!

The person drinking with Su Bai was Jade Spirit Heavenly Venerable!

And Jade Spirit Heavenly Venerable was none other than the chief of the Spirit Clan!!!
