“It’s here!”
Under the probing of Ye Tian’s life-pupil power, Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf had already approached.
At this mont, Dominator Yun Lan also sensed a looming crisis.
“Everyone, be on guard!” Dominator Yun Lan shouted.
With a rustle, everyone stopped resting and activated the defensive formation disks with all their might. This demonstrated how well-coordinated the Yunng Mist rcenary Group was. If it had been any other group, they would have questioned Dominator Yun Lan first, but they followed her command without a trace of doubt and acted imdiately.
It had to be said, Dominator Yun Lan held high prestige within the Yunng Mist rcenary Group.
“Hahaha, Dominator Yun Lan, we et again!” A wild laugh echoed.
The next mont.
Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf, leading the mbers of the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group, appeared in front of Dominator Yun Lan.
“Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf, how did you find us?” Dominator Yun Lan was shocked.
She had entered the Misty Region from a different location than Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf and had flown in another direction, changing positions countless tis along the way.
The outer region of the Misty Region was vast, even larger than the entire Chaos Sea.
In such a vast area, how had Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf tracked them? Ye Tian also looked at Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf, noticing that the few Universe Gods who had joined the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group were missing.
“Most likely, they were killed by Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf or deliberately sent to their deaths!” Ye Tian speculated.
From Dominator Yun Lan, he had learned that the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group rarely recruited temporary mbers. The group already had many mbers, including fifteen Dominators and the Heavenly Venerable himself, making it quite formidable.
Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf didn’t need to enhance his cultivation talent and therefore didn’t venture too far, preferring to stay in the outer or slightly inner areas. He was known for his ruthlessness; even if he encountered danger, he would use weaker Universe Gods as cannon fodder, allowing him to survive.
Hence, the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group rarely recruited temporary mbers, and few dared to join them. If they were short on mbers, Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf would forcibly capture so Universe Gods and control them.
The few Universe Gods who had joined the group earlier were unaware of this and ended up in the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group. Naturally, Dominator Yun Lan did not warn the traitors.
Now, it was clear that Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf didn’t trust those Universe Gods. Given that they weren’t evil and didn’t align with the group’s philosophy, it was unlikely Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf would keep them alive; he would definitely have killed them.
Ye Tian felt no sympathy for those Universe Gods. In the universe, choosing the wrong side often ant misfortune.
“We have a traitor among us, and it must be him!”
One of the Yunng Mist rcenary Group’s Universe Gods pointed at Ye Tian.
This Universe God was the very one Ye Tian had earlier identified as a traitor, now turning the accusation against him.
With swishing sounds, the mbers of the Yunng Mist rcenary Group glared angrily at Ye Tian. Even Dominator Yun Lan frowned at him. “Lord Fa Tian, is it you?”
Her suspicion was understandable. After all, with Ye Tian’s extre Dominator-level cultivation, why would he join the Yunng Mist rcenary Group? Although Ye Tian had explained earlier, it still seed plausible.
If Ye Tian were a mber of the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group acting as an undercover agent in the Yunng Mist rcenary Group, it would all make sense.
Outside, Blood Wolf would not dare to kill Dominator Yun Lan easily because it would risk exposure. If discovered, the top Heavenly Venerables familiar with Dominator Yun Lan’s father might hunt Blood Wolf down.
But in the Misty Region, if Blood Wolf killed a Dominator, no one could find out.
The Misty Region was extrely dangerous; even Supres had perished there. The death of a single Dominator was entirely plausible.
Thus, Blood Wolf had a strong motive to kill Dominator Yun Lan in the Misty Region.
From every perspective, the possibility of Ye Tian being an undercover agent was very high.
“Thinking this way, my chances of being an undercover agent do seem high!” Ye Tian thought.
Facing Dominator Yun Lan’s question, Ye Tian replied calmly, “No.”
“If you say you’re not the traitor, then how did Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf find us?” That Universe God questioned again.
“It’s your choice to believe or not!” Ye Tian responded coldly.
He disdained explaining anything to a group of ants.
Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf still did not make a move imdiately. Instead, he surrounded the Yunng Mist rcenary Group.
He knew very well that Dominator Yun Lan’s strength was not weak. She might not be as strong as a Heavenly Venerable, but she probably had so trump cards left by her father. If she had an escape-type treasure, she could easily get away.
To ensure foolproof success, he needed to make sure Dominator Yun Lan could not escape.
Moreover, that undercover agent had deliberately incited conflict between Ye Tian and Dominator Yun Lan, which played right into his hands. If the two of them started fighting, he could even sneak attack and kill Dominator Yun Lan instantly.
“I believe you!” Dominator Yun Lan suddenly said.
Ye Tian was a bit surprised at this. Despite everything pointing to him being an undercover agent, Dominator Yun Lan trusted him.
“Why do you believe I’m not a traitor, not an undercover agent?” Ye Tian asked curiously.
“Instinct!” Dominator Yun Lan replied. “Besides, Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf is already here. My chances of escaping are very low. You are also at the pinnacle of Dominator level, and although I can’t sense your strength, it shouldn’t be weaker than mine. If you were a traitor, you could have instantly wounded severely or even destroyed the entire defense formation, but you didn’t.”
“Captain, you can’t be deceived by him! He’s definitely the traitor!” that Universe God said again.
“You all go, I’ll open a path for you and try to let you escape!” Dominator Yun Lan said.
“Captain Sister, I won’t leave!” Dominator i Yuan cried.
Just then, that Universe God suddenly deactivated the defense formation and turned into a streak of light, rushing towards Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf.
“Greetings, Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf!” the Universe God bowed.
“Yinsha, well done. You’ve made a great contribution this ti. I’ll make you a squad leader!” Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf smiled.
“Thank you, Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf!” Yinsha said excitedly.
“True Lord Yinsha, you…”
Dominator Yun Lan and the other mbers of the Yunng Mist rcenary Group were stunned.
At this mont, they finally understood! The real traitor was the True Lord Yinsha, who had been accusing Ye Tian all along. He had been with the Yunng Mist rcenary Group for nearly nine thousand years and was considered a life-and-death companion!
“True Lord Yinsha, why?” Dominator Yun Lan asked, her eyes fierce.
“For no particular reason. I was rely a Universe God secretly cultivated by the Blood Wolf Mist rcenary Group. Because I’m good at hiding my emotions, I was assigned this mission to infiltrate your Yunng Mist rcenary Group,” True Lord Yinsha explained.
“So that’s how it is!” Dominator Yun Lan said with a bitter smile.
She had always thought her screening standards were excellent, believing every mber of the Yunng Mist rcenary Group to be family. Now she realized that her so-called standards had huge loopholes.
For example, low evil karma. If a Universe God like True Lord Yinsha was secretly cultivated, they would have hardly killed anyone, thus having low evil karma. But that did not an they were good people.
“Dominator Yun Lan, I’ve already ordered a forbidden air divine array to be set up around us. Even if you have a special escape treasure, you won’t get away! This ti, you’re dead for sure!” Heavenly Venerable Blood Wolf said coldly.
Just when Dominator Yun Lan and the others were in despair, Ye Tian spoke up, “The farce should end! I don’t have ti to play with you any longer!”
