"Brother Ye, this is all a misunderstanding. Everyone's a bit tense because of the fact that there are spies from the other continents among us."
"That's right, even I could have sworn that I felt sothing just now."
"How could we possibly have any ill intentions towards Brother Ye? This is the ti where we from the sa continent should be working together against the invaders, this isn't the ti for internal conflicts."
These were superficial words that even the ones that said them didn't believe, but they had no choice but to say these words right now.
The only words that were true were the final words about being from the sa continent.
They all faced the threat of the invaders from the other continents, so they really couldn't be fighting with each other right now.
Even if the situation wasn't as serious, if the invaders were to find any gaps that they could exploit in terms of infighting, it was obvious that they would exploit it.
This was the last thing that they could allow to happen.
So at the very least, they had to act like they were united against the other continents.
Seeing that all of them acted this way, Ye Tian Xie had no choice but to stop teasing them. Even though he was disgusted by the way that they were acting, he knew the overall situation and knew that this was not the ti to cause too much trouble.
At the very least, he had to discuss what was happening with these people.
So in the end, Ye Tian Xie just released the pressure that he had been sending towards them.
Feeling this, everyone else in the room let out a sigh of relief.
After that, all of them knew the importance of this eting and they wouldn't be able to take the responsibility of being the one that ruined it. If it was ruined, there was no doubt that they would be punished by the elders of their sects.
The seat that had been prepared for Ye Tian Xie was one that was at the edge of the eting hall, but the ones that had been sitting at the main seats quickly moved over to make room.
The one that had been relegated to where Ye Tian Xie had been assigned previously didn't seem happy, but there was nothing that they could do about this. They had no choice but to take this since they were afraid that Ye Tian Xie would take offense.
Just what Ye Tian Xie had displayed earlier was already enough to tell them that they couldn't do anything against him.
At this point, they just had to keep him happy so there wouldn't be any more problems.
Ye Tian Xie naturally saw all of this as well, but he didn't say anything.
He too had to go along with them since it was the order of his master, so he didn't make things too difficult for them.
After everyone was seated, the ones from the four righteous sects were the ones that led the eting. At first, they looked to Ye Tian Xie to see if there was anything that he wanted to say, but when they saw that he didn't have anything, they started discussing what they had been discussing previously.
The things that they discussed were already things that Ye Tian Xie already knew.
It wasn't just the Ye Family's information network that had been mobilized this ti.
Since this was a matter that involved the entire cultivation continent, the entire Heavenly Demon Sect's information network had been moved.
The information that they had surpassed the information that any one of the four righteous sects had.
That just went to show what the disparity between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the four righteous sects was.
All of the things that the four righteous sects discussed were things that Ye Tian Xie already knew, so he didn't say anything and just listened with a bored look on his face.
It really didn't seem like there would be anything interesting at this eting.
It seed like they would just discuss a few trivial matters before they made a promise that everyone would work together against the invaders.
This was what had already been expected, but Ye Tian Xie couldn't help being disappointed seeing it actually happen. After all, he had been hoping that so of the righteous sects would show a bit of initiative in this matter and find sothing that he didn't know about.
But it seed that he had been expecting too much.
What was there to expect from the four righteous sects that had been suppressed by the single Heavenly Demon Sect over all these years?
It was only a matter of ti before the Heavenly Demon Sect completely crushed them and beca the one true ruler of the cultivation continent. It was just that there were still a few old monsters that were living in these righteous sects.
Ye Tian Xie looked like he was about to disassociate from the conversation when he was suddenly pulled back.
That was because they had said sothing that he didn't expect to hear.
"The spies have already infiltrated several of the smaller sects and we need to send our people in to capture them."
This was also information that Ye Tian Xie had heard before and the Heavenly Demon Sect had already started investigating the smaller demonic sects. It was just that there were a few sects that were ntioned that even the Heavenly Demon Sect's information network didn't know about.
These were sects that also had a decent amount of standing among the demonic sects. These were sects that were considered strong supporters of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
So for the righteous sects to bring them up now, it really seed like they were trying to create trouble among the demonic sects. It seed that they were trying to create problems among the demonic sects just to weaken the Heavenly Demon Sect.
This ti, Ye Tian Xie couldn't remain silent.
"Where did you get this information from?"
The younger generation from the righteous sects all fell silent when they heard this.
They had been on a roll, as if they were in their own little world since Ye Tian Xie hadn't said anything. But the mont that Ye Tian Xie spoke, it was only natural that all of their attention was drawn to him.
But it didn't seem like they were panicking.
"We have our sources." That was the unified response that they gave.
Only Ye Tian Xie wouldn't be satisfied with sothing like this. If this alone was enough to make them give this matter up, then it would really be letting down his na and prestige.
"Oh and what are these sources? I'm sure that you can at least tell this since this is sothing important to our Heavenly Demon Sect. If I didn't at least confirm this, then it would be a negligence of my duty." Ye Tian Xie slowly started releasing his pressure after he said this.
The faces of the others in the room once again started turning ugly when they felt this pressure.
At first, it seed like they wanted to resist this and refuse to tell him what he wanted to know. But in the end, it seed like they really couldn't take the pressure that he was putting on them, so they had no choice but to…
"Alright, we'll show you our source. Brother Ye, I hope that after seeing this, you will properly investigate those demonic sects that we have no influence over."
Though they agreed, they also acted tough to preserve what little prestige they had left.
Ye Tian Xie gave a casual nod in response, but it wasn't as if he would actually promise anything without seeing what this 'source' of theirs was. He had to confirm with his own two eyes if this source was reliable or not.
Once this was agreed on, there were several people that left the room.
When they ca back, it sounded like they had brought sothing heavy back with them.
When the door opened and it was revealed, Ye Tian Xie couldn't help knitting his brows.
The sound that was coming from outside the door was actually a large cage that was being pushed into the room. This was a large tallic cage that was clearly made to hold a prisoner, but the state of the prisoner made Ye Tian Xie reveal this frown.
That was because the state that the prisoner was in really wasn't sothing good to look at.
This prisoner that was wrapped up in chains inside of the cage was actually missing an arm and a leg. With the way that the wound closed on the stubs of their limbs, it was clear that this wasn't sothing that happened naturally. This wasn't even sothing that happened because of a battle.
It was clear that this was sothing that had happened recently.
There were wounds that also covered this person from head to toe, as if they had been constantly injured by sothing.
At the sa ti, this person seed very slim, as if they had been starved for a long ti. Adding in the chapped lips and dead eyes that they had…this was a clear sign that they had been tortured.
This person seed to have been put through an intense amount of torture with all the different markings all over their body.
"And they call us the demonic sects." Ye Tian Xie couldn't help thinking in disgust when he saw this.
