Chapter 900: Chapter 637: The Demon Clan’s Hidden Chess Piece, Even Celestial Mountain is Involved_2

"Young Master, I am executing a confidential military mission; your sudden appearance is putting me in a difficult position!"

In front of Wang Yang, the figure of Guardian Sun King Wang Siyun suddenly appeared, with a wry smile.

"How is the Prince doing?"

Wang Yang smiled, greeted, and asked.

Wang Siyun shook his head with a smile and said.

"Now is not the time for reminiscing with Young Master. Let’s discuss after the Summit of the celestial Mountain. Is your appearance part of King Xin’s orders?"

"Indeed! This is the list of hidden agents from the Demon Clan. After consulting with Prince Xin, it’s best for the Prince to arrive after the summit opens tomorrow morning. You, being so astute, should understand the reason without me elaborating!"

Wang Siyun took the list, read it, and memorized it in his Sea of Consciousness, nodding with a smile.

"How did the Young Master know I would be here?"

"Haha, the Emperor always acts thoroughly. The Western Territory is so intricate that sending only one Tiger Division, even the most lethal Blood Tiger Division, is far from enough!"

"The only possibility is that other Tiger Divisions are eliminating the Demon Clan agents in the Capital Luoyang, and the only unaffected area is the Prince’s Northern Territories. Hence, the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders naturally must take action!"

"It seems the Young Master’s sharp eyes miss nothing. Though Young Master has never met the Emperor, you’re so perceptive of his thoughts."

Wang Siyun was quite impressed, nodding in approval. Wang Yang’s analysis was flawless, accurately interpreting even the Emperor’s demeanor.

That Wang Siyun found surprising, considering the Emperor’s unpredictable nature, which even his own brother could hardly conjecture!

"Haha, just a coincidence. Tomorrow the Prince will have to toil hard!"

Wang Yang laughed heartily, leaving after a courteous farewell, without directly answering Wang Siyun’s question.

Moments later, Wang Yang appeared outside the sealed array in the army camp. Before he could speak, Duke of Qin approached, looking grave, accompanied by King Xin Wang Zhen.

Seeing the two together, Wang Yang knew something unexpected must have occurred.

"Has something happened?"

Wang Yang took the initiative to ask. Wang Zhen and Duke of Qin exchanged glances, nodding solemnly.

"Young Master, please come and see!"

Following Wang Zhen’s lead, Wang Yang arrived at a cave at the mountain’s foot. Inside, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged, eyes closed, seemingly meditating, but the bloodline spiritual power around him was entirely sealed.

"One of the nine Elders of the celestial Mountain, Elder Xianlu, left the mountain overnight and was sealed after touching the array. Please investigate if he is a hidden agent of the Demon Clan!"

Wang Zhen explained briefly. Wang Yang nodded, understanding his concern. If the celestial Mountain’s interior harbors Demon Clan spies, their infiltration depth might jeopardize the entire plan.

"Greetings, Elder Xianlu!"

Wang Yang stepped forward, smiling in greeting. Due to the complete sealing of bloodline spiritual power by the array, Wang Yang needed close investigation to discern.

Slowly opening his eyes, Elder Xianlu appeared calm and composed, resembling a gentle scholar rather than a seasoned Elder.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

"May I ask, Elder Xianlu, why did you leave the celestial Mountain during the night?"

"Why? Must I report my actions to the Imperial Court?"

Upon hearing Wang Yang’s question, Elder Xianlu furrowed his brows deeply, his voice suddenly turning angry!

Wang Yang’s lips curled into a mocking smirk, and within his pupils, black and white Yin Yang Fish manifested distinctly.

"Yin Yang Infinity! Bagua Heaven!"

"Not good!"

Elder Xianlu exclaimed inwardly at the sight, recognizing at once that Wang Yang was using an Ancient Daoist Art.

The Ancient Daoism governed Heavenly Dao, its magic techniques aligned with the celestial Dao Origin Force, able to pierce all illusions and hidden matters. The Demon Clan’s aura, naturally, was unable to escape its magic technique!

Suddenly, bloodline spiritual power in Elder Xianlu erupted within, instantly breaking through the sealing force and shrouding him in a cloud of black mist!

"Trying to escape? Did you ask me?"

Wang Yang stomped heavily, instantly expanding the Eight Domains, with the Complete celestial Eight Trigrams complementing each other, sealing off all voids within the cave.

At this moment, Wang Zhen, who had remained silent, moved as well. Blazing fire erupted from his palm, piercing through the black mist, striking Elder Xianlu’s chest fiercely!

"Ah!"

Elder Xianlu let out a wretched scream, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, scattering the black mist which then vanished. Wang Yang’s eyes narrowed; it was his first time witnessing King Xin make a move.

Taught by Confucianism, wielding the most intense and fierce Haoran celestial Gang!

"Young Master, how did he break the seal of the array?"

Wang Zhen didn’t seize the opportunity to kill Elder Xianlu. That palm had already crippled his bloodline. Now Wang Zhen was puzzled by Elder Xianlu’s ability to dissolve the array’s sealing power!

"He carries Magical Treasures!"

"It seems he came prepared; this means the Demon Clan’s agents already know of the army’s sealing array at the foot of the celestial Mountain!"

Wang Zhen looked grave. Carrying magical treasures that could traverse the array and dissolve the sealing power indicated Elder Xianlu was ready.

Intentionally captured by Wang Zhen and others, detained in the cave, planning to leave and transmit information opportunistically. But unexpectedly, Wang Yang arrived, discerning the disguise at a glance.

"Not necessarily; I believe it’s a probe!"

"A probe?"

"Yes! Only a handful of people know of the army’s sealing array, so the information won’t leak. Elder Xianlu exposed his identity because the Demon Clan’s agents were probing, considering Elder Xianlu as one of the nine Elders of the celestial Mountain!"

"If he leaves smoothly, all remains peaceful. If intercepted, he could leave using the mountain’s identity. If his disguise is exposed, the identity of the Demon Clan’s agents would be revealed!"

"If even the hidden Demon Clan aura in the celestial Mountain’s Elders can be seen through, then the identities of others have naturally been exposed. I think Elder Xianlu was a signal!"

"What kind of signal?"

"If he returns, it all remains peaceful; if not, it indicates exposure. The Demon Clan’s agents might fight desperately tomorrow!"

Wang Zhen fell silent. If things were as Wang Yang said, tomorrow’s casualties might become enormous.

The Demon Clan’s agents hold high positions and possess exceedingly strong cultivation levels; if they fight desperately, risking all, the celestial Mountain might be mostly destroyed.

Most importantly, the Demon Clan can devour bloodlines and perform blood sacrifices on living beings. Tomorrow at the Summit of the celestial Mountain, apart from the Sect Master of equal cultivation level, the participating disciples’ highest level is just the celestial Immortal Realm, utterly unable to withstand Demon Clan’s devouring!

"Then keep him alive, so the Demon Clan agents can’t confirm. Tomorrow morning, after the summit opens, I’ll secretly signal the Mountain Master to activate the celestial Mountain Immortal Array immediately!"

After pondering briefly, Wang Zhen devised a strategy, which Wang Yang approved with a nod.

"Good! Once activated, the celestial Mountain Immortal Array can protect everyone at the summit from harm while probing whether there are demon spies within the mountain. If there are, they’d inevitably leave a flaw within the Array’s corner!"

"Young Master concurs with my thoughts. If there are Demon Clan agents among the celestial Mountain’s nine Elders, it’s likely that some Mountain Masters controlling the celestial Mountain Immortal Array are also demon spies!"

"Yes! How is Wan’er’s situation being handled?"

With the current situation temporarily settled, Wang Yang shifted the topic to inquire.

Wang Zhen gave a wry smile, shaking his head, unable to believe his long-time maid was a Demon Clan agent, annihilating his painstakingly cultivated forces!

"Confined entirely within the Haoran Sect; I’m concerned the demon agents have bloodline sensing. If killed, it might alert them, troubling the snakes!"
