"You mean, a traitor has secretly defected to the Demon Sect?" Ancestor Kuming's expression suddenly changed.
Other high-ranking officials at the Azure Radiance Palace also changed color.
A cacophony of gazes swept across the room, each one filled with wariness and scrutiny.
Clearly, they largely agreed with Madam Xuanyin's speculation.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a reaction; one would simply laugh it off.
Ultimately
On the Life and Death Samsara Sea, the array, which was fully activated and even capable of withstanding a brief attack from Dao Merging expert, shattered in a bizarre way.
Without internal cooperation, who would believe this?
Suddenly, the Venerable Jiemie, who had been silent until now, spoke. His body was shrouded in an aura of calamity, making him awe-inspiring.
"It's also possible that a powerful member of the Demon Sect brought a treasure specifically designed to break through array restrictions."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered, and no one spoke.
Madam Xuanyin seemed to understand Venerable Jiemie's intention, and said with a charming smile, "It's not impossible."
The Ancestor Kuming also nodded slightly, indicating his attitude.
Although the three leaders all tended to believe that there was a traitor within the palace, in order to maintain stability, they still needed to conceal the truth and could not make it so certain or obvious.
"Palace Master, now that the Demon Sect has attacked, even Young Palace Master Mo Shang and Elder Linghai, who are located in the Eye of Guixu, have been harmed. If we were to go out, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?"
A guardian of the Azure Radiance Palace dressed in white stepped forward, bowed, and said...
His words betrayed a hint of worry and a touch of fear.
His words also caused many of the Azure Radiance Palace's high-ranking officials to look at the Ancestor Kuming.
Feeling the gaze upon him, the Ancestor Kuming's heart sank. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed, "I have my own way of resolving this matter. You need not be anxious. For the time being, stay in the palace. With the sect's protective formation in place, even if Dao Merging expert were to come in person, they would only be able to watch helplessly."
"As for those damned demon bastards, once the Arhat Yuanguang of the Great Yan Temple arrive in the Xuan Yuan Mystic Origin Divine Realm, they will naturally be able to find them all and grind them into dust!"
"The Mystic Origin Divine Realm, the Great Yan Temple, the Arhat Yuanguang..."
Upon hearing these names, the high-ranking members of the Azure Radiance Palace were initially taken aback, but then their faces lit up with joy.
The white-robed protector clapped his hands and laughed, "I've heard that the Great Yan Temple is a branch of the lineage of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and is most skilled at deducing heavenly secrets. The Arhat Yuanguang is a rare genius in this field. If he were to come, he could simply calculate with his fingers, and those demon brats would surely have nowhere to hide!"
"Excellent, this is truly excellent!"
In an instant, with the mention of the name of Arhat Yuanguang by the Ancestor Kuming at Great Yan Temple, the high-ranking members of the Azure Radiance Palace were all dispelled of their gloom and almost celebrated their victory.
Afterwards, all the gods followed the Ancestor Kuming back to the Azure Radiance Palace and dispersed.
Withering and Flourishing Hall, besides the Ancestor Kuming, only two deputy palace masters remained: Madam Xuanyin and Venerable Jiemie.
Madam Xuanyin Xuan Yin frowned slightly and said, "Why did the Palace Master inform the other elders and protectors about the descent of the Arhat Yuanguang? Aren't you afraid that there might be a traitor among them who would inform the Demon Sect Demon Sect and attract its powerful members to ambush the guests from Great Yan Temple?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't that be perfect?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of the lips of the Ancestor Kuming.
Seeing that the two vice palace masters still didn't quite understand his meaning, the Ancestor Kuming shook his head and said, "Do you know why that Arhat Yuanguang descended from the Mystic Origin Divine Realm to my Yaoguang Divine Realm?"
"Isn't it to eliminate the powerful figures of the Demon Sect and maintain stability in the rear of our Buddhist and Daoist sects?" Venerable Jiemie asked in confusion.
Madam Xuanyin's expression changed slightly. "Could it be that there's some secret information we don't know about?"
"Exactly."
The Ancestor Kuming nodded and explained, "Although our Buddhist and Daoist sects have united because of this Yuan Festival and the growing power of the Demon Sect, we still fight fiercely in ordinary times. We always only care about our own business and don't care about the troubles of others!"
"If there were no reason, why would the Arhat Yuanguang travel billions of miles across the Great Void to come to my Yaoguang Divine Realm, toiling and risking his life?"
"All of this is because he and Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace are close friends who have shared life and death."
"Don't forget, most of the forces infiltrated by the Demon Sect are targeting the Golden Radiance Palace. The pressure on my Azure Radiance Palace is not that great, which is why some disciples have become complacent. If everyone had been more vigilant, the Life and Death Samsara Sea might not have suffered such a calamity."
"I see!"
After hearing what the Ancestor Kuming said, Madam Xuanyin and Venerable Jiemie suddenly realized the truth.
Madam Xuanyin's beautiful eyes lit up as she guessed what the Ancestor Kuming meant.
"Therefore, the Palace Master's move can be described as turning the tables on a plan."
"Using the names of Great Yan Temple and Arhat Yuanguang as bait, they intend to lure out the big fish of the Demon Sect."
"Yes, that's exactly right." The Ancestor Kuming stroked his beard with satisfaction.
"If we can lure out a powerful member of the Demon Sect, that would be ideal. We can then lie in wait and wait until the Demon Sect expert and that Arhat Yuanguang are both severely injured before we step in and seize the spoils of victory."
"Whether Arhat Yuanguang falls or is severely injured, it is not a loss for my Azure Radiance Palace. On the contrary, it is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Golden Radiance Palace, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"
"If we can't lure out any powerful members of the Demon Sect Cult, it doesn't matter much. This means that those high-ranking officials in the palace who just heard my words are probably safe and sound. We can protect them carefully from now on, greatly reducing the pool of potential spies."
"No matter which option we choose, Azure Radiance Palace will profit!"
Ancestor Kuming finished speaking, both Vice Palace Masters showed expressions of admiration.
I was filled with admiration.
"Besides his strength, the Palace Master's unfathomable strategic acumen is also crucial to his ability to maintain his position as the leader of the Azure Radiance Palace."
"Having just experienced the pain of losing a disciple, not only has it not affected his rationality, but he remains frighteningly clear-headed, and with a casual remark, he has laid out such a grand scheme."
"With such a palace master, even if my Azure Radiance Palace were to participate in the God-Conferment War, I estimate that it would be able to escape unscathed!"
Upon realizing this, the two deputy palace masters looked at the Ancestor Kuming with even greater reverence.
Mingguang Realm.
Inside the royal palace of Tianfu City.
The black-clad Nirvana Incarnation emerged from the space, like a dreamlike bubble, stepping into reality.
Logo sat cross-legged on his throne, with six storage rings floating above his head. Rivers of cinnabar flew out from these rings and disappeared into his slightly open mouth.
In the three thousand Mortal Realm, with a massive supply of low- to mid-grade spiritual materials, Logo could obtain many Spirit Pattern Pill every moment.
With the help of these Spirit Pattern Pill, the Dao Meridian Starry Sky became increasingly solid. Each Dao Meridian, like a pillar of heaven, had grown many times thicker than before after a hundred years of filling.
They stand tall in the vast Starry Sky, their heights and bases invisible, majestic Endless, radiating divine light that illuminates the starry sea.
As his Dao Meridian grew stronger, Logo's physical body also continuously improved. Today, he can God of Death with a single punch using only his physical strength.
In addition, they employed a variety of bizarre and unpredictable methods.
Their true combat power is actually not much lower than that of Nirvana Incarnation.
