Uncover the Undercovers
“Besides Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai, is everyone else here?” Greater Heaven Caster Lu questioned, conducting a head count.
“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, may I ask what you have called all of us here for?” Song Qingyu inquired.
Greater Heaven Caster Lu flashed his palm and expounded, “There are some things I’d like to clarify again with you all for the tournament in two days.”
“Thank you, Heaven Caster.” Mu Yu emerged from a corner and activated the golden formation everyone was standing in.
“What’s going on?”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu performed hand seals, imbuing formation lines into everyone inside the formation, stealing their conscious. While Mu Yu controlled the blank-faced individuals and searched their memories, Greater Heaven Caster Lu held down the formation.
“Found you fifty-five rats.” Mu Yu pulled the fifty-five spies aside and interrogated them. “Tell me one by one who you are and your role in the invasion.”
The disciple at the forefront stepped forward and reported, “My name is Zhang Yue. My real name is Zhang Yun. I am an undercover Talisman Sect. My job is to dismantle all attack and defence formations.”
“Bi Jun, real name Zhao Qing. My job is to not let anyone ring Green Bell so that nobody is aware Formation Sect has been infiltrated.”
“Lyu Mingjie, real name Lyu Hua. My job is to assassinate the disciples on patrol duty.”
“Wan Yong, real name Wan San. My job is to assist Heaven Stage disciple’s second team leader eliminate Formation Sect’s Heaven Stage sentries.”
“Their plan really would bring down out outer layer’s defences. The only layer that they don’t have designs for is Formation Palace,” bemoaned Greater Heaven Caster Lu, shocked.
“They are just henchmen in the grand scheme. Situ Yangtian and Mu Chenghong will be the ones who plunge Formation Sect into disarray.”
“We need to inform Patriarch.”
“I’m already aware.” Zhuge Xiaosheng was seen at Advancement Hall’s entrance wearing a long face.
Mu Yu filled Zhuge Xiaosheng in yesterday as he was the patriarch. Mu Yu couldn’t just cast a formation on everyone without permission on him.
“Greetings, Patriarch.”
“Patriarch, we must discuss a defence plan. If Situ Yangtian and Mu Chenghong really are spies, we must eliminate them!”
“I really have failed in my duty and failed my predecessors. I don’t deserve to lead Formation Sect.”
Zhuge Xiaosheng heaved a big breath, appearance haggard compared to his usual self. He, of course, didn’t believe Mu Yu’s accusation right off the bat. He sought verification from Chen Tiandao but was dismayed to learn Chen Tiandao was already in a slumber.
“Please do not beat yourself up, Patriarch. They deceived all of us,” consoled Greater Heaven Caster Lu.
“Feng Mu already filled me in. Talisman Sect couldn’t have possibly executed such an elaborate plot. Since they’ve submitted to Celestial Star Sect, the latter must be involved. We must activate Formation Palace if we are to thwart their plan, and Patriarch has entrusted the task to Feng Mu. We must help him out. That means Situ Yangtian and Mu Chenghong are necessary.”
“Do the others know? We need to ensure every Greater Heaven caster knows,” asserted Greater Heaven Caster Lu.
Zhuge Xiaosheng exhaled through his nose and lifted his chest. “… Feng Mu, did Patriarch affirm Mu Chenghong and Situ Yangtian are spies?”
“There is no doubt that Mu Chenghong is a spy, but Situ Yangtian is only a suspicion. The reason from the suspicion stems from the fact that Situ Yangtian brought Mu Chenghong into the sect, and the two are the closest.”
“Indeed, he has constantly been bitter toward Feng Mu ever since learning of Feng Mu’s aptitude. He is most definitely suspicions!” thundered Greater Heaven Caster Lu.
“If we cannot prove Situ Yangtian is a spy, we cannot claim so. If he isn’t the spy, we will have notified the enemy that we are onto them. Let us cast Divine Soul Formation at Formation Palace. Due to the formation’s time constraint, we have no alternative but to cast it on the day of the operation when we help him take control of Formation Palace,” opined Zhuge Xiaosheng.
“What shall we do about these spies, then, kill them?” asked Greater Heaven Caster Lu, wishing it didn’t have to come to this.
“No. We shall use them to bait the enemy in.” Eyes flashing black and white, Mu Yu elaborated, “We should not waste Talisman Sect’s efforts. This will be a great way to earn some interest from all the robbing they have done.”
“What do you have in mind?” Zhuge Xiaosheng inquired.
