"Impossible, right? I also thought that Sect Leader seed really strong, stronger than any of them, and acted ruthlessly, definitely their Sect Leader!" Chenyuan Zhenren said in confusion.
"No, I always felt sothing was off. Not only the Sect Leader seed odd, but Guang ili also seed odd. It was like the Sect Leader kept looking at Guang ili too often!" the City Guard Elder pondered and said.
"Could it be that Guang ili is the Sect Leader's mistress?" Old Monkey chuckled and said, "It's terrifying, he doesn't even spare his subordinates."
"What are you saying! That's impossible. Besides, that so-called Sect Leader always seed to look at Guang ili before speaking, as if Guang ili was signaling him for permission to speak," the City Guard Elder said.
"Now that you ntion it, that seems to be the case!" Chenyuan Zhenren thought for a mont and said.
"I say, Chenyuan, do you have any stance? Do you believe everything others say?" Elder Huo quickly said as he noticed Chenyuan Zhenren had been persuaded.
If even Chenyuan Zhenren stands with Tian Chu Zhenren, no one would support him. It's not that Elder Huo wants to oppose Tian Chu Zhenren, but he believes the Sect Leader is simply the Sect Leader, and there's no one behind the scenes. If there is a mastermind, things would be too complicated, and Elder Huo, who dislikes trouble, doesn't want things to be so troubleso.
"Old Moneybags, what do you think? Isn't the Sect Leader just the Sect Leader?" Elder Huo looked at Old Moneybags.
Who knew Old Moneybags would smile and say, "Don't look at , I don't know anything. When I entered, they had already started fighting. I don't know what happened before the fight!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Huo beca dispirited and said to Tian Chu Zhenren, "Fine, you win. Whatever you say goes!"
Tian Chu Zhenren frowned upon hearing this and said to Elder Huo, "Be serious, we are now discussing sothing important!"
Elder Huo sighed deeply and said, "Alright, I actually think there's sothing wrong with the Sect Leader too. Although he has the aura of a Sect Leader, there's sothing amiss. Every ti he speaks, it seems he has to think about it first; he doesn't respond imdiately. The pause is too long. His eyes show no emotional fluctuation, giving off an impression of a puppet!"
"You think there's sothing wrong with the Sect Leader, but you said there wasn't?" Old Monkey said puzzled.
"Too troubleso!" Elder Huo said.
"Too troubleso?" Old Monkey didn't understand what Elder Huo was talking about!
"Yes, if this Sect Leader is not the actual Sect Leader, then this so-called Sect Leader is just a figurehead. There must be soone behind the scenes, and we need to find out who it is. That would be too troubleso!" Elder Huo shook his head and said.
After hearing what Elder Huo said, everyone didn't know what to say.
So, Tian Chu Zhenren just bypassed him and said to everyone, "Since everyone feels there's sothing wrong with this Sect Leader, maybe he's not the true Sect Leader, or only a public figure. There might be soone else in control behind the scenes. I suspect it's Guang ili, because every ti the so-called Sect Leader wants to speak, he looks at her first, as if listening to sothing before speaking himself. Even though this happens very briefly, it's repeated every ti, making it easy to spot the flaw."
"I feel the sa way. And Guang ili gives a very familiar feeling. She's definitely using soone else's appearance; her true consciousness belongs to soone I know!" Chenyuan Zhenren said.
"Now that you ntion it, Guang ili does feel familiar to too, like an old friend!" the City Guard Elder agreed.
"I think I know who it is, but the na is on the tip of my tongue and I can't say it!" Elder Huo said.
"Although I didn't deliberately sense their aura, Guang ili is definitely soone we're familiar with and close to. It feels too familiar, but due to the lapse of ti, I can't recall it imdiately," Tian Chu Zhenren said thoughtfully.
"Could it be Zhan Hua's sister, Linghua? It feels just like her," Old Moneybags suddenly said. From the mont he entered, he felt Guang ili's aura was familiar. Although he didn't feel it when he first saw Guang ili, this ti, the sensation was quite strong. Old Moneybags clearly rembered this aura, but because he was in combat earlier, he didn't ntion it. After they returned and everyone else felt familiarity, he thought his feeling was likely correct!
"Linghua?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard the na, and then the aura from Guang ili began to fuse with the aura in their mories.
"What? Linghua, my sister Linghua? Impossible, she's so kind. How could she do such a thing?" Granny Zhanhua exclaid. She stopped restoring her Spiritual Power upon hearing Old Moneybags, incredulously. Despite not entering the fray and being unaware of the situation inside, she was still listening while restoring her Spiritual Power. When Old Moneybags ntioned that the mastermind behind the demon was her younger sister Linghua, she stopped and spoke up.
"I wondered why it felt so familiar, turns out it's Zhanhua's little sister, Linghua!" Old Monkey said in disbelief, "It's terrifying, such a pure and kind girl turned into a villain!"
Just as Old Monkey finished speaking, Granny Zhanhua swung a punch at him. The force of this punch was stronger than when she had just rescued Tian Chu Zhenren and the others.
Everyone could hear Granny Zhanhua's thunderous voice, "I said, that is not my sister, don't you understand?"
Old Monkey wanted to dodge the punch but found he didn't have ti to react. He had been slightly injured earlier. If he dodged with all his might, he could avoid it, but it would worsen his injuries. If he didn't dodge, he would also get hurt. Old Monkey was torn about whether to dodge or not.
But while being torn, he found he couldn't dodge anymore. Old Monkey closed his eyes, waiting for the blow.
Just as Old Monkey prepared to take the hit.
