Chapter 299: Chapter 284: The Secret Saboteur_1

"Luo Yuan, I know it’s you!"

Seeing the dozen or so zombies, not a single one paying attention to him, still sitting there with numb expressions, Ye Fei said with extreme certainty, "Besides you, I can’t think of anyone else in our Black Valley and your Sword Tower who has this kind of strength and means!"

"If there really is this Luo Yuan, it should be him!" Fang Boxuan also said.

"Sword Tower, outer sect disciple, Luo Yuan..."

Lu Lingchan’s face was icy cold, and from the bamboo flute came a buzzing sound, she said with a sense of rivalry, "I also want to see what’s so special about someone who has more Divine Sense than me!"

The others also stared intently below, their gazes sweeping over the faces of the zombies, trying to pick out the perpetrator.

At that moment.

Pang Jian rubbed his temples, shaking his head secretly, feeling like he was suffering an undeserved calamity.

"The perpetrator, hidden among the zombies..."

With a thought, strands of golden Divine Sense drifted from his Sea of Consciousness, merging into his pupils.

With his golden eyes, he carefully examined each zombie, looking at their facial expressions, the condition of their bodies, trying to find out the perpetrator Zhuang Yuyan mentioned.

But after looking over them, he didn’t find anything amiss.

All sixteen of them, looking like they couldn’t hear their conversation, their complexions, gaze, breathing, movements, almost indistinguishable.

Pang Jian’s golden eyes could not penetrate the Sea of Consciousness of the others, he couldn’t see their thoughts and consciousness.

"This person is terrifying, everybody must be careful."

Qi Qingsong summoned his Blue Dream Sword, contemplating whether, or not he should use the recently comprehended Dream Sword to create a beautiful dreamland to explore those people’s mental states.

Suddenly.

"I’ll go find him!"

Dong Tianze descended swiftly, immediately summoning Ghost Howling. He said in a cold voice, "The spell I practice from Yin Spirit Temple has a Secret Skill that can peer into the heart, spy on the thoughts and consciousness of others. Normally, the target must be completely subdued by me before I can cast the spell with the help of Ghost Howling."

"Their current state is also quite suitable for me to use this Secret Skill. Next, I will try one by one, and if anyone resists, that person is the perpetrator."

"Those who don’t resist, I can see their true thoughts, know whether they are truly heart dead or not."

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

A series of figures followed, dropping from the stands onto the deck, scattering around Dong Tianze.

"Dong Xiaozi, after you cast that Secret Skill, will it shatter their Sea of Consciousness?"

Qi Qingsong asked seriously.

Among the sixteen, nine were disciples of Sword Tower; he feared that after Dong Tianze was done, all those people would perish utterly.

As the leader of Sword Tower’s team, he was responsible for protecting the survivors, preserving their lives.

Dong Tianze shook his head: "No."

"Alright then, cast your spell, we’ll back you up!" Qi Qingsong, reassured, became more aggressive and sharp, "I also want to see if that person called Luo Yuan is hiding among a bunch of zombies."

Zhuang Yuyan also said, "Go ahead, such a guy is truly terrifying, it’s better for everyone if he’s found out sooner."

"Pang Jian, do you really think someone is mixed in among them?"

Zhou Qingchen felt somewhat uneasy, after landing, he stuck close to Pang Jian and couldn’t help but say, "What kind of person can be so sinister and vicious, and able to disguise themselves so convincingly as a zombie? What on earth does this person want to do?"

"To be the only one surviving, to take all the Spirit Jade for themselves, to delay their own death for as long as possible," Pang Jian said, while being vigilant, "If this person really exists, he will certainly think of every possible way to kill us all."

Before, he wasn’t too worried, thinking it didn’t matter whether the person was found or not.

But after Zhuang Yuyan’s analysis, saying that this person might be hiding among the zombies and even disguised as one of them, Pang Jian also felt a chill run down his spine.

If such a character were mixed among the zombies, he must be extremely terrifying!

If he were not dealt with first, no one knew what else he could do.

"You’re the first."

Dong Tianze pointed with Ghost Howling at the forehead of one.

That was a blue-clothed, hunchbacked elder Sword Tower outer sect disciple.

A Spirit Sword as long as an arm was placed on his crossed legs, the blade was bright, as if spring water flowed within it.

He had his eyes closed, with a Spirit Jade in each palm, his body wrapped in a water-blue halo.

"Soul Searching!"

Dong Tianze shouted coldly.

From the holes of Ghost Howling, a piercing screech suddenly emanated, strands of grey-green soul shadows flew out, easily penetrating the Spiritual Power halo cast by the man, landing on his ears, the corners of his eyes, and forehead.

The crowd squinted to see strands of grey-green soul shadows as if they were clinging to the man’s skin, listening to something.

This process lasted several breaths.

Dong Tianze, in the midst of casting the spell, inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat, his breathing grew heavy, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

Moments later, he hastily retracted those soul shadows, looking somewhat disheveled.

"It’s not him."

Dong Tianze shook his head, his face pale.

"What did you feel?"

Pang Jian asked curiously.

"Dead silence."

Dong Tianze took a breath, his complexion poor, and he said solemnly, "This person’s consciousness is in a stagnant state, without a single ripple. When I attempted to feel his thoughts, I realized his despair, and I actually began to be influenced by him!"

"I..."

Dong Tianze, deeply shaken, said with difficulty, "Gradually, my willpower was being eroded, I wanted to give up hope like him, I wanted to sit and wait for the moment of death to come!"
