Chapter 929 - Chapter 929 Chapter 933 Four Famous Constables

Chapter 929: Chapter 933: Four Famous Constables Chapter 929: Chapter 933: Four Famous Constables “Our people have been coming and going quite frequently lately, still, I have reminded the disciples to be extra cautious,” said the man with grey hair.

“Yes, yes, those materials from before should be securely sealed to prevent the absorption of impurities if left exposed,” the Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master declared.

“Rest assured, all the sword materials in the black wooden boxes are centralized and guarded closely,” he continued.

“That’s good. Once we have all the materials, we can invite the Flame God to forge this unparalleled Divine Sword personally!” The Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master laughed.

“Your task is also completed. You can enjoy some fine wine. The remaining matters… the Emperor will handle,” said the grey-haired man in charge of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master and the grey-haired man exchanged glances. From their expressions and the deliberately hushed tones of their conversation, it was clear they shared other secrets.

…

In the Earth Sect City, Zhu Minglang and Linghu Ling continued to wait for news from Ling Song.

They had been tailing the members of the Evil Sword Sect, initially hoping to find the sect’s hidden stronghold, but to their surprise ended up in this grand and majestic Sword Faction city!

“No wonder the Evil Sword Sect has never been fully eradicated; they’re like parasites, infesting some of the reputable and orthodox Sects. To think that a major Sect like the Earth Sword Sect is harboring the largest Evil Sword Sect!” Linghu Ling was entirely taken aback herself.

The Earth Sword Sect was also considered one of the top ten Sword Sects in God Yuheng’s Territory. They had a good reputation and had cultivated countless Sword Gods and Sword Immortals. Linghu Ling even knew their Sect’s Sword God Grandmaster and had a rather good impression of him. She never imagined that the Earth Sword Sect would become a protective umbrella for the Evil Sword Sect!

“This is troublesome. Initially, against a small Evil Sword Sect, Linghu Fairy and I could easily annihilate them. But now, we’re up against this grand Sect City…” Zhu Minglang also felt a headache coming on.

It’s not that they couldn’t destroy it.

The problem was that destroying an Evil Sect and destroying a Sect City infiltrated by the Evil Sect were two different matters–it was too easy to involve innocent people.

Moreover, considering the behavior of the four Great Sword Masters before, it wasn’t that the entire Earth Sword Sect had been eroded by the Evil Sword Sect. Instead, the Earth Sword Sect, such a major Sect, was completely unaware of the Evil Sect’s entrenched encampment within their ranks!

“Do you recognize that person? Doesn’t he look familiar?” Zhu Minglang said from high up on the eaves, looking down and spotting a man clad in a blue long shirt.

That man appeared to be the same Great Sword Master who had previously attempted to rid the city of Demon Guards. Zhu Minglang remembered his square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes…

“I don’t remember,” Linghu Ling couldn’t recall what those four people looked like.

“Why is he skulking around like that, as if he’s up to something sneaky? I’m going to take a look,” Zhu Minglang stated.

Linghu Ling didn’t say much as she was pondering how to deal with the Earth Sword Sect matter herself.

Eliminating an Evil Sect was indeed part of the responsibilities of Linghu Ling, the true God Yuheng. However, this particular Evil Sect was like a tumor growing on an orthodox Sect, and it wasn’t wise to rashly expose them. She was still unable to judge to what extent the Earth Sword Sect had been infiltrated.

Zhu Minglang followed the broad-browed man.

He saw him slip into a Sword Pavilion within the Sword Sect, secretly meeting with someone inside.

The broad-browed man waited anxiously, and Zhu Minglang nearly lost his patience with him until finally, another person entered the Sword Pavilion. It was a woman dressed in an elegant Plum Blossom Robe, who had a pretty face and an attractive figure, with alluring eyes that had a special seductive charm.

“Sister Lingfang, I’m not sure if I should tell you this, but I really don’t know who else to confide in,” the broad-browed man said dispiritedly.

His tendons in his hands and feet had been severed, and though much healed now, allowing him to walk normally, he still appeared rather weak.

“Speak your mind; keeping it bottled up inside will cause you a lifetime of agony,” Sister Lingfang advised.

Zhu Minglang, upon hearing the start of their conversation, suddenly lost interest.

It was just a secret rendezvous. He had thought it was something significant, and furthermore, nothing suggested any illicit excitement; it wasn’t thrilling in the least.

“I believe… our Sect has a traitor,” the broad-browed man claimed.

“Our Sect is so large, from the Sect Master to the Sect Leader and then to the various Masters and Uncles, as well as our tens of thousands of disciples. Having someone eating from the inside out is quite normal, isn’t it? Such matters will naturally be handled by our disciplinary department; you needn’t worry about them,” Sister Lingfang replied.

“No, no, no, the traitor I’m talking about… might be from the Evil Sword Sect, the Evil Sword Sect that is our sworn enemy. I’ve sensed that there’s something wrong within our Sect for a while, and after my secret investigation… Let me tell you about what happened a few days ago,” the broad-browed man said earnestly.

Thereupon, the broad-browed man recounted the incident of intercepting the Evil Sword Sect members.

“He Xin, have you lost your mind? This could cost you your life!” Sister Lingfang exclaimed in shock.

“I’m still alive, aren’t I? That Yellow Robed Evil Sword Master was indeed our Liao Guan, the Earth Sword Sect’s Master. Although he was heavily disguised, I am certain it was him!” the disciple known as He Xin said.

“Master Liao? Impossible, he’s clearly a very benevolent elder!” Lingfang said.

“Right now, I really don’t know what to do. Moreover, several of my fellow disciples are also investigating several other Uncle-Masters and Masters. The Evil Sword Sect that is lurking within our Sect might not just have one or two members; there could be far more than we imagined,” He Xin said with certainty.

Xu Lingfang’s face was filled with surprise.

She stared at He Xin for a long time before carefully asking, “Then, Junior Brother, have you informed anyone else about these investigations?”

“Not yet; these are just discoveries we fellow disciples stumbled upon unintentionally, and we have all been investigating secretly. At first, we didn’t quite believe it until someone suggested taking a risk, and we found out this result even at the risk of being killed by the Evil Sword Sect,” He Xin said.

“What are the names of these fellow disciples?” Xu Lingfang asked.

“Sun Xu, Zhong Jun, Chu Ming… I really don’t know what to do, Sister,” He Xin said with a pained expression. As a member of a righteous Sect, he couldn’t accept that so many villains were hidden in his own Sect; it was disgraceful!

At that moment, Xu Lingfang burst into laughter. She gently caressed He Xin’s cheek and slowly said, “Haven’t you done well? Now you can take your secrets to your grave!”

Xu Lingfang’s smile suddenly turned cold. Her other hand fiercely reached for He Xin’s back, her delicate and fair palm instantly transforming into sharp spikes capable of easily piercing human flesh and bone, aiming straight for the heart!

Hiding in the corner’s shadow, Zhu Minglang was almost ready to reveal himself, but he quickly noticed that three more people were hidden atop the beams of the Sword Pavilion.

These three were the same Great Swordsmasters who had their limbs disabled before. One of them must have fully recovered, as he swiftly dropped down from the beam and grabbed Xu Lingfang’s claw with an iron-like grip.

The four of them immediately surrounded Xu Lingfang.

Xu Lingfang’s face turned deathly pale, and she looked incredulously at the three people who suddenly appeared — they were Sun Xu, Zhong Jun, and Chu Ming…

“Sister Lingfang, just now we were still uncertain whether our Earth Clan Sect had been infiltrated by the Evil Sword Sect, but now we can be one hundred percent certain. You and Master Liao Bei are our long-time investigation targets. How many more members does your scum of the Evil Sword Sect have in this Sect City? Spill it!” The simple-looking He Xin suddenly laughed, his eyes narrowing like a hunter watching his prey.

“What Evil Sword Sect? I was just massaging his back!” Xu Lingfang continued to argue.

“Massaging his back? It was clearly an attempt to silence by murder, how vicious! After knowing each other for so many years…” He Xin sneered.

“Hmph, aren’t you also plotting against me?” Xu Lingfang said.

“Speak up, how many from your Evil Sword Sect are there in our Sect City!” He Xin demanded angrily.

“Do you really think we from the Evil Sword Sect act so carelessly? Master Liao is indeed too kind-hearted, often unclear about his own stance, sparing you four an escape route, but the rest of us will never make such a low-level mistake!” Xu Lingfang said.

“So you finally admit to your true identity!” He Xin said.

“Take her to see the Sect Leader!”

“We must make her confess all her accomplices!” Zhong Jun said.

The four captured Xu Lingfang, intending to leave the Sword Pavilion, but as they reached the main doors, a sudden invisible force knocked them back inside.

Zhong Jun, the only one who had fully regained his strength, immediately drew his heavy sword and smashed it against the air wall in front of the door. However, he was struck down by an even stronger force, causing his hands to go numb, and he couldn’t even stand steady.

The four were horrified, realizing they had unknowingly fallen into a trap!

“Four illustrious capturers, you truly are the pride of our Earth Sword Sect. Unlike those fools who only think of cultivating to higher realms or climbing to higher positions, you have seen through us when neither the Sect Leader, the Deputy Sect Master, nor the Sect Master could. You few junior Sword Cultivators have discerned us, showing both courage and strategy, commanding respect!” The man with grey hair stood outside the Sword Pavilion door.

The door was wide open, and he stood in front of it, yet some force completely barred them from him.

The grey-haired man held a torch in one hand, smeared with thick resin, the flame burning fiercely. It seemed as if the flame had been infused with some energy, like a starving Spirit Beast, ready to devour everything it could burn!

“Dry wood and high wind are unavoidable causes of some accidents, and I, as the Elder in charge of rewards and punishments, will ensure your five relatives receive some extra consolation Silver Taels,” the grey-haired man said.

“Five?” Xu Lingfang caught on to that highly sensitive number.

“For the sake of our whole Sect, your little sacrifice, trading your life for those of four clever individuals ruining our Sect’s great plan, is well worth it. The whole Sect will remember your contribution… Alas, Liao Bei always acts so unreliably that I have to clean up his mess myself,” the grey-haired man said.
