“What do you mean?”
Baili Qi looked puzzled.
“I always thought Xu Zhishen was the traitor because he’s always been at odds with me. But after watching him sacrifice himself, I realized I was wrong!”
Ye Haochuan sneered, “How could a real traitor draw too much attention to himself? A good traitor would be the one who’s least likely to be suspected!”
“You suspect me just because of that?”
Baili Qi was furious, scoffing, “If it weren’t for the Venerable Master’s orders to keep an eye on you, do you think I’d bother being polite?”
His indignant look made everyone present give Ye Haochuan a cold stare, seeing him as ungrateful.
“Are you sure it was Baili Jin’s orders and not Baili Yang’s?”
Ye Haochuan asked calmly, with a faint smile.
Baili Qi was momentarily stunned, then angrily said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Another member of the Baili Family seemed thoughtful, knowing well about the situation between Baili Feng and Baili Zhu in the family, and naturally aware of Baili Yang’s conflict with Ye Haochuan.
“Without evidence, stop slandering me!”
Baili Qi was completely infuriated, looking much like an unjustly accused innocent.
“Didn’t you leave a tracking mark on me when you patted my shoulder?” Ye Haochuan sneered.
How did he notice?
Baili Qi was shocked, looking at Ye Haochuan incredulously.
This technique of secretly placing a tracking mark was a unique skill, even a High-Level God Lord of his level would find it hard to notice quickly.
What he didn’t realize was that Ye Haochuan had a Taichi Pearl in his mind, which could detect such things immediately.
Shentu Fu was also startled, quickly placing his hand on Ye Haochuan’s shoulder where Baili Qi had patted and carefully examined it several times before detecting a trace.
He gasped and pointed at Baili Qi, angrily cursing, “It really is a tracking mark, Baili Qi, you’re so cunning!”
Geng Ye from the Geng Family, with his expertise in formations, was even more familiar with such marks than Shentu Fu.
“Baili Qi, I didn’t expect you to be the Temple’s traitor within the Baili Family!”
Geng Ye was instantly furious, immediately summoning a long knife and fiercely striking Baili Qi.
Knowing he could no longer deny it, Baili Qi dropped his guise of an innocent.
While fending off Geng Ye’s attack, he coldly snorted, “I’m not a spy for the Temple, just avenging Young Master Feng and Young Master Zhu!”
“For avenging those two failures, you’re willing to ignore the survival of the three clans?”
Ye Haochuan yelled furiously.
“Hahaha, Ye, you really know how to flatter yourself!”
Baili Qi laughed loudly, “You think you’re so great and can pass through the Western Wastes? Please, even my family’s ancestors wouldn’t dare tread there easily, and you, a Demigod, think you can?”
Then he said to the others, “Don’t be fooled by these Hua Clan remnants. Talking about seeking Great Powers in the Western Wastes; how many have returned alive from there? These Hua Clan remnants are clearly in league with the Temple, using this excuse to coax the higher-ups of the three clans into silently depleting their strength!”
His words instantly caused an uproar among the three, including Geng Ye.
Indeed, Baili Qi’s words resonated with their vague suspicions.
The dangers of the Western Wastes had always been an unavoidable shadow in their minds, and it was only due to clan pressure that they followed Ye Haochuan.
In their hearts, they approached this mission with a resolve to die.
Now that their feelings were articulated, their hearts began to waver.
“If I truly were one of the Temple, could you still find Temple members to capture me now?” Ye Haochuan sneered.
The others suddenly snapped to attention.
Indeed, regardless of the possibilities of a successful Western Wastes journey, it’s Baili Qi in league with the Temple, not Ye Haochuan!
“Let’s deal with this traitor first!”
Geng Ye snorted, his power bursting forth.
The other two, including another Baili family cultivator, immediately resolved to attack Baili Qi with their full strength.
“Hahaha, the Temple members will arrive shortly, you think you can still kill me?”
Baili Qi laughed arrogantly.
He simultaneously summoned three Flying Swords, though unable to completely defend against the three’s attacks, enduring for a while was certainly feasible.
“I’m very curious, why do you trust the Temple so much?”
Ye Haochuan suddenly sneered, “Providing them with clues is reasonable, but if you’re with me, do you think they’d spare you just for offering clues?”
“Hmm?”
Baili Qi’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly dumbfounded.
He hadn’t planned to join the Temple, given his family was still in the Baili Family, the consequences were unthinkable once he betrayed.
His plan was quite simple, drawing out the Temple’s experts using their sensitivity toward Ye Haochuan, then discreetly finding an excuse to leave unnoticed.
But unexpectedly, Ye Haochuan discovered him so quickly, forcing him to face the others’ assaults.
At this point, he instinctively found himself on the same side as the Temple.
“What’s there to think about, I’ve no choice now!”
Baili Qi suddenly gritted his teeth, like making a resolution.
Now discovered, if any of them escaped, news of his betrayal would reach the Baili Family, leaving his family with no other fate but death.
Eventually, wait for the Temple members to arrive and kill them all, though he wouldn’t survive, at least ensuring his family’s safety.
“Damn Baili Yang, didn’t he say this plan was foolproof?”
Baili Qi regretted, had he known the situation would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have taken this mission.
Suddenly, he noticed a cold light speeding toward him.
He felt his scalp was about to explode, hastily focusing to block.
The sword came too suddenly, and fast; he hadn’t noticed immediately due to his wavering thoughts earlier, only now realizing the imminent danger.
Fortunately, his response was swift, quickly summoning a Flying Sword to defend.
In haste, this sword wasn’t strong but he wasn’t worried, realizing the sword aura came from the weakest one, Ye Haochuan.
This arrogant fool, a Demigod ant, actually dared attack a High-Level God Lord like him, was simply courting death!
