The moment he heard they were spies, the Great Yue Emperor's expression changed drastically. Those who could be dispatched to the Qimen Academy and the Medicinal Academy were all people accorded the highest trust.
And yet such people were spies. How many other spies were there in the Great Yue Kingdom?
How many spies were even lurking around him?
Just thinking about it sent a chill through his heart.
"Your Majesty, we aren't spies! We..."
Several Shadowland members' hearts sank.
Their infiltration techniques were naturally extraordinary. To infiltrate this deeply, they had taken one step at a time over many years.
Once they were suspected, they absolutely could not hide it from the Immortal Celestial Venerable under a thorough investigation.
"Whether you are or not, we'll know soon enough!"
The Great Yue Emperor's gaze was icy.
He naturally trusted the guidance of the senior expert a hundred million percent.
Cheng Zhan and the person in charge from the Tianwu Sect felt their hearts sink. One of the sect martial artists dispatched here to stand guard was also one of the sect's higher-ups.
If even such people were spies, it was simply unimaginable how deeply the sect had been infiltrated.
"Your Majesty the Great Yue Emperor, this matter is of great importance. I must report it to the sect master. Before then, not the slightest bit of information can be leaked."
Cheng Zhan spoke in a deep voice.
"I know what I'm doing."
The Great Yue Emperor nodded.
Seeing this, several Shadowland members knew they could not remain hidden any longer. Before the Great Yue Emperor and Feng Yan, the two Immortal Celestial Venerables, they had not the slightest chance of escaping.
Once they were thoroughly investigated, there was a possibility that the forces they belonged to would be exposed.
Pfft!
