Chapter 3155: A Snitch
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Coincidence?”
“Duan Ling Tian’s luck is heaven-defying as well! After he left the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base, not only did he run into their disciples, but he ran into seven of them!”
“That’s right! He’s really lucky!”
Most people thought Duan Ling Tian’s luck was extremely good after learning about what happened from the Fire Glaze Mansion.
“But why were the seven of them together? Were they all working together to obtain points?”
“A team of seven? Impossible! It makes no sense since they won’t obtain many points if they had to divide it between seven of them.”
While everyone was discussing this matter, the Fire Glaze Mansion received news again. The seven disciples who were eliminated by Duan Ling Tian did not reveal the fact that they were supposed to meet with their fellow disciples at a designated place before eliminating Duan Ling Tian together.
“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to leave. I thought I’d be able to watch a good fight.”
“I thought I’d be able to see Duan Ling Tian’s name vanish from the scoreboard. Although none of the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion are ranked in the top six, Tan Yuan consistently ranks in the top 10. If all of them join forces, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to eliminate Duan Ling Tian.”
“Duan Ling Tian is too intelligent. It’s as if he could sense danger...”
“There must be a snitch among those from the Fire Glaze Mansion who informed the Profound Nether Mansion about this matter. That’s probably why Duan Ling Tian knew when to leave.”
“That must be it. He must have known he was in danger, that’s why he left so suddenly.”
...
In the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
13 figures appeared in various Transporting Formations.
With this, a commotion broke out again.
“Why did all of you come out? Were you eliminated?”
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“Didn’t they say that Duan Ling Tian has left? He even eliminated seven people after he left. How did he manage to find us anyway?”
“Among the 13 of us, five of us would’ve died if he didn’t show mercy.”
“Does he know our meeting place? Is that why he left our base?”
“He must have found out about our plan! First, he met seven other disciples, then, he met 13 of us. How could there be such a coincidence? There’s only one possibility; he must have found out about our meeting place and intercepted us before we arrived at our meeting place!”
“There must be a spy among us. Otherwise, how could he have known about our plan?”
News about the 13 disciples being eliminated quickly spread in the Fire Glaze Mansion, creating an even bigger commotion.
“There’s a snitch among us! We must investigate this matter at once!”
“It’s either a snitch or one of the seven disciples earlier told him about our plan!”
“We have to investigate this!”
“That’s right! We have to catch the snitch!”
At this point, most of the elders and disciples were certain they had a spy among their ranks. After all, in such a short time, 20 disciples had been eliminated. All of them were clamoring for an investigation to be carried out.
The commotion was so big that even the mansion master and vice mansion masters came together for an emergency meeting.
In a grand hall in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate.
The Mansion Master of the Fire Glaze Mansion looked at the high-ranking officials before him and solemnly said, “Before the seven inner court disciples were eliminated, we were the only ones who knew the location of their meeting place.” His eyes flashed coldly after he finished speaking. Based on the current situation, he was also of the opinion that there was a spy among their ranks. Otherwise, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to find out about their meeting place.
An inner court elder said, “My Lord, I agree there has to be a spy among us. However, he or she might not be among those of us present here. There’s a possibility the snitch is among the seven disciples.”
Upon hearing these words, the other high-ranking officials agreed one after another.
“My Lord, Elder Qian is right!”
“It’s impossible for the spy to be among us. I personally think it’s one of the seven eliminated disciples .”
“I agree.”
The expressions of the high-ranking officials of the Fire Glaze Mansion were unsightly. When they first learned about a snitch in their ranks, they were worried their disciples’ lives were in jeopardy. They were relieved when they discovered Duan Ling Tian did not kill their disciples and only eliminated them.
An old man walked into the hall at this moment. “My lord.”
This old man was one of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Fire Glaze Mansion. He was not privy to the location of the disciples’ meeting place since he was sent out by the mansion master to investigate a matter.
“I’ve investigated the matter. Before the 13 inner court disciples were eliminated, none of our disciples had returned to the base. Therefore, it’s not possible for a snitch to be among our disciples.” With these words, he eliminated the possibility of the snitch being a disciple of the Fire Glaze Mansion.
“Vice Mansion Master Yuan, summon the seven inner court disciples here,” the mansion master ordered.
“Yes, My lord.” It was clear the vice mansion master already knew the seven inner court disciples were since the mansion master did not mention their names.
“My lord, you must get to the bottom of this matter!”
“That’s right! We have to find that snitch and kill him to make an example out of him!”
The high-ranking officials were furious about their disciples’ location being exposed.
“We can only hope the remaining inner court disciples have received our latest message and leave immediately,” an elder said with a sigh.
The hall was as silent as a graveyard at this moment.
The high-ranking officials of the Fire Glaze Mansion, including the mansion master, could not help but worry about their disciples who were still in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
...
In the sites of Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.
Everyone was still shocked that Duan Ling Tian gained 70 points and rose to 16th place when they saw the latest change on the scoreboard.
“Heavens! Duan Ling Tian is too terrifying! His points just increased to 70 a while ago, and now, he obtained another 23 points.”
“With 93 points, he’s now ranked 12th.”
“He hasn’t even been in there for two days, right?”
“In less than two days, he accumulated 93 points and rose to 12th place! How did he do it?”
When Qi Tian Ming received the latest news, he only smiled wryly and said, “This lad is truly heaven-defying!”
...
The other grade-six Celestial Mansions were similarly shocked when they received the latest news. It did not take long before they found out Duan Ling Tian’s recent surge in points was due to him eliminating another 13 disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion.
“What’s the Fire Glaze Mansion doing? Are they deliberately sending their disciples to Duan Ling Tian?”
“How absurd.”
“In such a short time, Duan Ling Tian eliminated 20 disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion. This number doesn’t even include the dozens of Fire Glaze Mansion disciples he had eliminated earlier.”
“Is it possible that the Fire Glaze Mansion is intentionally surrendering their points to Duan Ling Tian?”
“Perhaps, the Profound Nether Mansion and the Fire Glaze Mansion came to an agreement earlier?”
“That’s possible. I suspect one of the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples had led Duan Ling Tian to their base after they encountered him in the middle realm.”
“The audacity! Aren’t they afraid the Ten Major Clans and the Top Five Sects would investigate this matter? The sects and clans have zero tolerance for matters like this and would punish them severely if they were found guilty!”
The Ten Major Clans and Five Top Sects had strictly prohibited grade-six Celestial Mansions from working together in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Failure to comply with this rule would definitely result in a harsh punishment.
...
It did not take long before other grade-six Celestial Mansions received news about the existence of a snitch in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s ranks.
“I think there’s a misunderstanding! I don’t think the Profound Nether Mansion and the Fire Glaze Mansion are working together!”
“That’s right. I just received news that there’s a snitch in the Fire Glaze Mansion!”
“So that’s how Duan Ling Tian managed to find those disciples!”
