When You Can't Tell Who the Mole Is, Purge Them All

When Bibi Dong arrived, half of the courtyard wall had already collapsed.

Xie Yue lay on the pile of rubble, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up but fell back down.

She barely managed to save Hu Liena Hu Liena, shielding her from view.

Hu Liena knelt on the ground, the golden petals on her limbs having melted into her flesh, pinning her to the spot and rendering her unable to move.

The Gui Mei withdrew its hand, its eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Your Papal Hall, are you going to protect this traitor?"

Bibi Dong didn't speak immediately. Her fingers gripped the scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. She looked down at her disciple lying in a pool of blood and remained silent for a long time.

Who struck first?

"Me." Gui Mei and Yue Guan Pass spoke at the same time.

Bibi Dong raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the two men's faces. She wanted to take action because they had killed her disciple.

But if she takes action, it will cause the Elder Hall, which she has worked so hard to control, to lean towards the Worship Hall.

Now everyone knows that Hu Liena is a traitor.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. She could only turn around and leave with Hu Liena.

She still needs these two to help her hunt Soul Beast, so this matter can only be handled discreetly. Only after killing Tang San can Hu Liena be safe.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye's communications were forcibly connected to the rocket launch base.

The door to the Mecha warehouse was wide open, and the technicians were lined up, their faces ashen. The warehouse manager squatted next to a Mecha, smearing a little pale yellow powder from between his knuckles, and smelled it. His expression turned even more grim.

Inside the Mecha warehouse, every single machine contained this powder, colorless and odorless, practically undetectable to humans, let alone in a warehouse full of Mecha oil.

Even the base's several special vehicles were not spared; the same things were stuffed into the gaps in their chassis.

Who did it?

Xu Tiankuo strode in from the control center, one button undone on his executive jacket, and his eyes behind his glasses were sharper than usual.

He immediately ordered, "Seal the warehouse."

Then he walked into the middle of the crowd, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention.

"Listen to me. The warehouse is temporarily sealed off. All Mecha are undergoing overhaul, and the special vehicles are being replaced with backup vehicles. No one is allowed to leave the base alone during the overhaul period, and all personnel who are out are being recalled."

"Everyone to their posts, do what you're supposed to do."

He took direct control of the situation and prevented it from deteriorating. Although he was a second-generation rich kid, he was no mere figurehead.

Without real ability, how could someone of that age hold a vice-ministerial position?

Zang Xin stood at the warehouse entrance, his gaze sweeping over the tampered Mecha one by one. He first focused on the staff members.

Mecha of Black Level and below have all their energy sources passively modified; there are very few with that time, and even fewer with that capability.

"Check everyone who could get into this warehouse, one by one. It's obvious that it's among these people."

The investigation results came out very quickly.

Zang Xin stood in the control room, holding a newly delivered list in his hand. The list had three names on it—two warehouse technicians and one logistics scheduler.

None of the three had any motive for committing the crime, and they had no connection with each other. The only thing they had in common was that they had all visited the same supply depot three days prior.

During the interrogation, they suddenly rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and died instantly.

"The Ghost Emperor's doing, it's the Holy Spirit Cult's doing again."

Xu Tiankuo stood beside him, glanced at the list, frowned and then relaxed. "Controlled by the Ghost Emperor?"

He gave a cold laugh, not believing it was simply a matter of control; what if there were other things happening elsewhere?

He decided to find an opportunity to thoroughly purge the Parliament.

If you can't tell who the mole is, then eliminate them all.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

This is what Yin Hongye taught him.

And he put that into practice after the explosion.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Zang Xin folded and put the list away. "Let's deal with the swarms of people we've attracted outside first."

Outside the military base, a swarm of Sand Demon Worm has appeared, numbering at least four figures.

Beneath the Mecha of Yin Hongye and the other two, a swarm of Sand Demon Worm had also gathered.

These are all desert Soul Beast of the same kind. The largest one has a body diameter of more than five meters, its entire carapace is dark brown, and its whole body exudes an incomparably calm aura.

The next moment, their carapace split open on the back, revealing a pair of wings. They had eight legs under their bellies, all of which looked extremely sharp, especially the two at the front. When their upper bodies were slightly raised, their blade-like forelimbs were immediately revealed.

The other desert beetles also spread their wings, raised their upper bodies slightly, and made a buzzing sound as they flapped their wings.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, nearly fifty thousand years old, is indeed rare." Mu Hongchen remained calm, frantically tapping on the screen.

Although he didn't initially intend to include Ninth-Level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon in his Mecha design, he still equipped it with many laser-type weapons.

In an instant, streaks of light shot out from the red humanoid Mecha.

As for Long Yeyue, she was in a terrible situation. Her Mecha was Black Level weapon, so she was hit with all the negative buffs. Fortunately, she was Limit Douluo. However, she still had to protect the students.

As a Limit Douluo, she can't just run away every time she encounters Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

As Qian Renxue watched the laser beams pierce through the Soul Beast and the group of Soul Beast hide in the sand, she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of Soul Beast are these?"

"These are Sand Demon Worm. They survive and cultivate by absorbing the sap of various living things. Whether it's an animal or a plant, they are all their targets. If you look closely, there is a very sharp mouthpart below their head. Once it pierces the body, it will immediately secrete a fluid, converting all the energy of the target into liquid, and then sucking it into its body."

Mu Hongchen explained, but he had absolutely no interest in this Soul Beast, and no one had ever seen it become anyone's Soul Spirit Soul Beast.

"It is said that the reason why this desert is constantly expanding is largely due to these Sand Demon Worm. They are constantly devouring the plants in the desert, as well as the vegetation on the edge of the desert, which is why the desert is constantly expanding. They are definitely the culprits. So many Sand Demon Worm can destroy a square kilometer of forest in just one day," Yin Hongye added. This was what Aromatic Silk Beauty said in the original work.

This Soul Beast is listed as one of the main culprits disrupting the ecological balance.

"Damn it, this Soul Beast is too good at hiding! It's disgusting, even more annoying than Sea Soul Beast hiding in the sea." Mu Hongchen's eyes were filled with anger as he prepared to take out a level nine fixed-position soul bullet.

Although it's temporary equipment and the Mecha is a bit out of place, and the recoil is a bit strong, it's fine as long as it can breathe.

"Perfect timing, I need to test out my new Soul Skill. Let me try it out first. If it doesn't work, I'll just use my Life-Bound Soul Tool to smash a crater."

As he spoke, Hellfire Crimson Lotus appeared in his palm, swaying slightly with his Soul Power, and a wave of time rippled outwards.

This move was originally his idea to send Qian Renxue to her death, but it remained in the research stage.

Perfect, we can try the reverse operation and test its security.

Thus, the most sinister combination in the Douluo Continent was born.

A massive surge of fortune arrived across time.

Unfortunately, the cool moves Yin Hongye envisioned were completely different from the moves he could actually execute.

He got there purely by luck.
