Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: The Traitor

Many Sects within the True Martial Realm vie for limited cultivation resources and higher-rank Martial Arts Techniques or to suppress opponents and strengthen themselves, using various means and schemes.

Some Sects detect their rivals and place their own people within them or bribe the rival Sect’s Disciples to act as insiders, monitoring every move and even stealing important Cultivation Resources and Martial Arts Techniques.

Ge Feng, after calming down, carefully concluded that either Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi had been bought by the Fiery Sect, or they were spies planted in Bitao Martial Academy by the Fiery Sect.

If it were the latter, it would be terrifying.

Because both Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi had been in Bitao Martial Academy for decades and had risen to high-ranking positions in the Academy, gaining access to many of its secrets.

Especially Lei Li, who had been in charge of Classic Hall, where Martial Arts Techniques were stored, for ten years, if he wasn’t loyal to Bitao Martial Academy or was a spy planted by the Fiery Sect, the Martial Arts Techniques in the Classics Hall might have long been leaked to the Fiery Sect.

This way, the Fiery Sect could anticipate and counter all their moves, no wonder Bitao Martial Academy was always at a disadvantage in every conflict with the Fiery Sect.

"Ever since Fang Bai entered the academy, I noticed that Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi were not very friendly towards him; unfortunately, I didn’t think much about it then. Their joint attempt with Fiery Sect Elder Leng Han and Cloud Feather Sect Steward Chang Feng to assassinate Fang Bai must be condemned, which likely confirms they are spies for the Fiery Sect or Cloud Feather Sect! They conspired to kill Fang Bai because they feared he would become a threat to their Sects. Hmph, good riddance! Good riddance indeed!"

Ge Feng clenched his fists, his face stern, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

He not only hated Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi for their long-term infiltration in Bitao Martial Academy but also despised the Fiery Sect and Cloud Feather Sect for daring to openly participate in the assassination of Fang Bai, which was a blatant provocation to Bitao Martial Academy.

However, Ge Feng felt relieved and vindicated because Fang Bai had emerged unscathed from the assassination attempt, while the four Desolate Level Martial Artists involved—Lei Li, Zhuang Zhi, Leng Han, and Chang Feng—all perished.

"Speaking of which, we should be thankful to that Nameless Martial Artist; otherwise, Fang Bai might not have escaped this disaster, and Bitao Martial Academy would continue to be kept in the dark about the spies, Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi, lurking within."

Ge Feng finally sighed.

"Unfortunately, that Nameless Martial Artist came without a trace and left without a trace before I could express my gratitude. Surprisingly, he killed all four assailants... There must have been some deep-seated grudge between them; otherwise, they wouldn’t have resorted to murder! I was just lucky to have met such a noble person at a time of crisis!"

Fang Bai said this aloud, but he chuckled internally, thinking that the Nameless Martial Artist was as distant as the horizon yet as close as before his eyes, none other than himself. He had killed Lei Li and the others because they had attempted to kill him and crossed his bottom line.

After being attacked in Soul Severing Valley, Fang Bai immediately used his movement technique to lead the four Desolate Level Martial Artists to a hidden place outside Soul Severing Valley and killed them, then he hung their bodies in this primitive forest and patiently waited for Ge Feng and others to arrive before emerging and fabricating a lie about being helped by a Nameless Martial Artist.

The true identities of the four Desolate Level Martial Artists were already known to Fang Bai after he had killed them. He had anticipated the involvement of Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi in the ambush against him and was not surprised, only that he did not recognize the other two.

But for Fang Bai, it didn’t matter who they were; anyone who crossed his bottom line or sought to harm him would face his fierce and merciless retaliation.

Lei Li and the other three Desolate Level Martial Artists, although formidable when they joined forces, were up against Fang Bai, who possessed the Cultivation Level of an early Vast Level.

Moreover, Fang Bai had the ability to challenge those of higher realms, a capacity not possessed by ordinary Martial Artists, making him invincible across the Vast Level Realm.

Even when facing early Cosmic Level powerhouses, Fang Bai, giving his all, still had the strength to fight.

Thus, although Lei Li and the other three were formidable, in Fang Bai’s eyes, they were no different from four mere ants.

After luring Lei Li and his group out from Soul Severing Valley, Fang Bai effortlessly killed all four with an overwhelming, crushing superiority.

Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi never imagined that Fang Bai, who had already demonstrated impressive abilities at Bitao Martial Academy, would unleash strength surpassing that of Desolate Level Martial Artists during their combined assault. They didn’t even have time to plead for mercy before they perished under Fang Bai’s fierce offensive.

Naturally, Fang Bai did not inform Ge Feng and others about killing the four Desolate Level Martial Artists, to avoid causing a sensation.

Ge Feng’s gaze swept over the bodies of Lei Li and the others. Suddenly, he moved, crouching beside their bodies and searching them. He found two Martial Arts Techniques Classics written on thin beast skins.

"Damn it! Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi, these beasts, were indeed spies from other Sects!"

After carefully examining the two Desolate Level Martial Arts Techniques, Ge Feng became furious, bitterly saying, "These two Desolate Level Martial Arts Techniques are treasures left by the founding master of Bitao Martial Academy, only available to elders and high-ranking officials of the academy for Cultivation. I can’t believe they copied and took them out. It seems they were planning to give them to the Sects behind them."

Ge Feng sighed in relief and added, "Fortunately, those four were killed by that Nameless Martial Artist. Otherwise, these two highest order Martial Arts Techniques of our Bitao Martial Academy would have quietly entered the classics halls of other Sects, the consequences of which are unimaginable!"

Then, Ge Feng also found some Elixirs and Essence Stones on the bodies of the four Desolate Level Martial Artists, planning to take them back to be stored in the Elixir Hall of Bitao Martial Academy.

"They must have cultivated some secret technique that concealed their Martial Artist Aura, which is why I did not sense their presence during the attack in Soul Severing Valley. Otherwise, I would have known their identities then. Heh, it seems they had a meticulous plan before launching the attack, but the appearance of that Nameless Martial Artist disrupted their plan, something they probably didn’t anticipate."

Ge Feng, while detesting Lei Li and Zhuang Zhi for being spies from other Sects within Bitao Martial Academy, was relieved that the two confidential Martial Arts Techniques were recovered. He pondered the fact that the four Desolate Level Martial Artists had teamed up to kill Fang Bai and lamented that the journey on the path of Martial Dao for talented Martial Artists from weaker Sects was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles, unlike the smooth sailing of talented disciples from stronger, larger Sects.
