Chapter 732: Chapter 462: Zhuge Shows Loyalty

When Zhu Geliang stepped into the great hall, the oppression in his heart reached its peak, and he didn’t even dare to lift his head.

Although his mental cultivation was not bad, even Xiu Yuan himself, when facing the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, would probably be trembling with fear, not to mention that Zhu Geliang was an impostor and a double agent.

Although the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning and his master, Chaos Martial Ancestor, were almost equal in rank to the Supreme of the Dao Realm, there was still a gap between them.

For instance, people like the Supreme of the Dao Realm disliked revealing their sharpness outright, while the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning’s pressure was controlled just right, precisely stepping on the critical point in one’s heart, creating an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"What matter?" the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning asked indistinctly.

"My lord..." Zhu Geliang used the simplest words to express what he wanted to say.

That was the matter of Hao Ran colluding with beings from beyond their realm.

When Zhu Geliang finished speaking about this matter, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning showed no reaction, but the Lord of Silence next to him burst out with murderous intent.

He knew that his lord despised traitors the most.

"My lord, I shall go and crush this insect right now!" the Lord of Silence said coldly.

"Hold on!" But before he could step out, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning stopped him.

This caused the Lord of Silence to suddenly pause, though he complied nonetheless.

"A being from beyond... Venerable Undying has not yet perished, he’s actually still alive and has successfully progressed to the rank of two thousand nine hundred Divine Patterns!" the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning said with a smile.

This left the Lord of Silence in a moment of astonishment, their lord actually knew that Venerable Undying?

Did their lord have some connection with the Supremes from beyond?

Possibly seeing what the Lord of Silence was thinking, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning continued.

"Back when I and that old fellow came here, we were once welcomed by the Supremes of this region lining the path, every one of them groveling before the old fellow, and flirting incessantly upon seeing us. Undying was one of them."

"Moreover, Undying and that old fellow had certain connections. Back then, Undying was just a Supreme with two thousand five hundred Divine Patterns, having just survived three tribulations, and was fearful he wouldn’t surpass the next one, so he sought help from the old fellow."

"The old fellow, seeing his sincere attitude and decent talent, helped him through that tribulation. Unexpectedly, after the old fellow died, he was the one who coveted the old fellow’s remains the most."

At this point, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning laughed again.

Zhu Geliang inwardly scoffed in his heart.

The strong ones on the Great Path seem too miserable, always encountering such ungrateful people.

According to the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, the Great Path had shown great kindness to Undying, yet the latter lusted after his own body...

Of course, Zhu Geliang also knew that now was not the time to complain; what was most important was to see what plans the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning had.

So he could report back to the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

The original self, that is, Xiu Yuan, had been a hidden agent placed by the Supreme of the Dao Realm a long time ago.

And had even been operating since several Epochs ago.

Zhu Geliang knew that among the secret forces, those controlled by the Supreme of the Dao Realm were definitely not limited to just himself as a chess piece.

And his master had also said that in the Myriad Realms Epoch, the person most to be wary of was the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

So he must not show any slip, potentially ruining his master’s grand scheme.

"If Undying intends to infiltrate the Myriad Realms Epoch, then let him do so." the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning said.

"This..." the Lord of Silence was slightly startled.

He knew his lord had always been plotting,

always wanting to devour the remains of the Great Path to achieve the position of the Great Path.

He could completely regard the bodies of the Great Path as forbidden fruit, yet now he willingly let outsiders infiltrate?

"You’ve done well, notifying me of such intelligence indicates your loyalty is evident, and I am not a petty person, so I grant you this."

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning waved his hand, and an object that looked like a bell, a Chaotic Spirit Treasure, floated down in front of Zhu Geliang.

From the aura about this bell, it was definitely a Chaotic Spirit Treasure.

The secret forces had accumulated many artifacts over eighteen Epochs, including numerous Chaotic Spirit Treasures.

But even so, that didn’t mean they were just handed out casually.

After all, typically a Supreme could nurture a single Chaotic Spirit Treasure, and during the times of Epochal calamities, most treasures would end up destroyed.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhu Geliang didn’t hold back.

He had received a reward from Undying, a Chaotic Spirit Treasure, and now from the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning he received another, only the Supreme of the Dao Realm was a bit stingier, but a reward was definitely there.

But he also knew, the trade of being a double agent was high risk for high return.

The risk was always before the reward,

like right now.

"As you said, Undying can help you remove the mark I’ve left in you; then why don’t you simply join Undying? If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t have known, and afterwards, you could even obtain promises from Undying, perhaps even ascend to a Supreme position, why then did you inform me of this?"

The voice of the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning rose, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

But that sense of oppression became strongly intense once more at this moment.

Zhu Geliang felt heaviness in his heart, but still responded methodically,

"Although I, Xiu Yuan, am selfish, I know all I have today was given by my lord. Besides, how could a mere Undying compare with my lord? If I conspire with Hao Ran and deceive my lord, death would not be far from me!"

He knew, if his answer was even slightly unsatisfactory, he would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

The response of Zhu Geliang seemed to satisfy the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, who even nodded slightly.
