Qian Learning State Boundary, Third Grade Territory, desolate countryside.
A ruin where a "Blood Banquet" is about to take place.
All the Demon Cultivators suddenly had their minds go blank.
They stood frozen like statues in the wind, standing there bewildered for a long ti.
The plan was ready, the Taoist Court dogs fell into the trap, the ambush circle was closing, everyone was sharpening their knives, bloodthirsty and frenzied, caught unprepared, but suddenly a ssage ca, saying there was a spy, and the plan needed to be halted...
Near the ruins, the densely packed Demon Cultivators couldn’t help but look at each other, and then all eyes turned to the leading Golden Core Demon Heads.
At the forefront of the crowd, several Golden Core Demon Heads, clad in pitch-black Demon Path cloaks, swirling with Demonic Qi around them, their faces obscured by murky Demonic Qi, all frowned simultaneously.
One person spoke hoarsely, "What’s going on?"
"Who has the guts to ’halt the plan’?"
"Who sent this ssage?"
"Quickly, go check it out..."
Another Golden Core Demon Head spoke coldly, "It’s too late, the Taoist Court is already in the net, the arrow is on the string, there’s no ti to check this out now?"
Soone questioned, "Could it be... the spy we planted in the Taoist Court..."
Before he finished speaking, he was scolded by another Demon Head, "Shut up!"
Inside the Demon Sect, there are "spies" planted by the Taoist Court.
In the Taoist Court, naturally, there are "spies" planted by the Demon Sect too.
This matter is very confidential, and the identity of the spies cannot be exposed. Even these Demon Heads, who are Golden Core and hold considerable status, do not know the identity of the "spy" hidden in the Taoist Court.
Therefore, whether this "informant" ssage was indeed from the "spy" on the Taoist Court side, they were also unclear.
After a mont of silence, soone said:
"Who sent the ssage can be investigated later... The question now is, is this ssage true or false, does our Demon Sect really have a ’spy’?"
"Hasn’t the spy already been exposed?"
"Is it really that easy for us to expose a spy in the Taoist Court?"
"What do you an?"
"I an..." A tall and thin Golden Core Demon Head glanced at the leader in the Late Golden Core Stage, then slowly said, "Could the previous ’spy’ have been deliberately exposed by the Taoist Court?"
"The Taoist Court specifically exposed this spy to use his life as bait to lure us in. We’re fishing for the Taoist Court, and the Taoist Court, in turn, used this ’spy’ as bait to fish for us..."
"You an... it’s a plot within a plot, a trap within a trap?"
"Yes, we set a trap, the Taoist Court fell into it. But this trap was actually set by the Taoist Court, and the ones truly caught in it, were us..."
"To hell with all this trap talk, you’re making dizzy..."
"Fool..."
"Simply put, we have another spy among us?"
"This real spy, hiding in the dark, scheming and deliberately plotting, wants to capture us all in one go. And the ’spy’ we exposed before was actually just a ’scapegoat’, a pawn discarded by the Taoist Court?"
"In that case, this ’spy’ probably holds not a small status, possibly even..."
This statent cut off abruptly.
The Demonic Qi concealed everyone’s faces, but within the Demonic Qi, everyone’s expressions were sowhat subtle.
Soone capable of plotting in the shadows is at least a Golden Core.
This person is also a spy, in other words, this "spy" might very well be among those present.
Among those gathered, any Golden Core could be that spy...
The atmosphere suddenly beca silent and eerie.
Everyone remained silent, but their minds were racing:
During these days, who is most suspicious, who has slipped up, who is not enthusiastic about killing, who doesn’t relish in blood-sucking, who is not diligent in cultivating Demon Skills, who is most likely to be that... real spy.
Demon Cultivators are inherently vicious and suspicious.
At this mont of sudden trouble, these Golden Core Demon Heads, ruthless in killing, beca even more anxious and riddled with suspicion due to the single sentence "there is a spy, halt the plan".
After a while, a rough-voiced Golden Core Demon Head said:
"I think sothing’s wrong, how can there be so many spies? Maybe soone is acting secretly, trying to sabotage our Demon Sect’s plan."
"This ssage must be fake."
"That’s right..."
"How could there be a spy among us?"
Other Golden Core Demon Heads also nodded in agreent.
"But..." Another Demon Head said in a deep voice, "If this ssage is fake, it ans soone is using this thod to confuse us, intending to stop our plan to hunt the Taoist Court cultivators..."
"This ans our plan has already been leaked."
"And this plan was only known internally within the Demon Sect, with hardly any whispers outside before."
"Such a thorough plan being exposed, doesn’t it precisely indicate that we indeed have a spy among us?"
All the Golden Core Demon Heads were stunned.
If this ssage is true, then they indeed have a spy among them.
Even if this ssage is false, they still have a "spy" among them?
"No matter how you look at it, it surely ans there’s a ’spy’?"
"Seems... quite reasonable..."
"Hiss..."
Soone gasped, and then everyone turned to the leading Demon Sect Leader.
In this situation, only the Leader can make a decision.
With a cultivation level in the Late Golden Core Stage, a muscular physique like a small mountain, enveloped in swirling Demonic Qi, the imposing Demon Sect Leader remained unmoved, a fierce look in his eyes, saying nothing.
With the Leader silent, the other Demon Heads dared not say anything more.
