"Master..." Piao Ran ran out from behind the bluestone and shouted happily. The figure that just appeared was Xuan Dao, the great elder of the inner sect.

"Yi Chen has seen the Great Elder." Yi Chen respectfully bowed to Xuan Dao.

"Well, you can't kill him, I have something to ask him." After Xuan Dao said that, he turned around and asked Elder Zou, "Who are the Five Generals? Who are you in the capital?"

It seems that Xuan Dao already knew Elder Zou's identity, so he asked so directly without any tactfulness.

"Hehe, I know everything, but I just won't tell you. In less than three years, someone will naturally avenge me." Elder Zou sneered, and his laughter was a little creepy, as if it was from a dead person: "Hehe, sir, I have not betrayed... avenge me..."

Xuan Dao wanted to take action, but after hesitating for a while, it was too late.

Elder Zou's voice gradually faded. Xuan Dao saw it, shook his head, and said, "He has committed suicide. It's just a pity that we didn't find useful clues from him."

"Did you know for a long time that Elder Zou is a spy from the Sartre Kingdom?" Yi Chen asked in surprise.

Since he already knew, why didn’t he arrest Elder Zou, but instead let him move everywhere, posing a threat to the disciples of the sect.

Moreover, he repeatedly protected the Yuwen brothers and ignored the rules of the Xuantian Sect. The Great Elder could not have been unaware of Elder Zou's arbitrary behavior, but he did not take any measures.

On the contrary, if you have to stop Yichen from killing Elder Zou today, is it because you are afraid of the Sartre Kingdom?

"Yes. Xuantian Sect recruits disciples regardless of region, identity, and can also form gangs. Everyone competes with each other to play their own strength, which can improve their strength faster. However, no one can violate the purpose of Xuantian Sect, that is, they must not pose a threat to the safety of the people of the Tianluo Kingdom."

Xuan Dao said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuwen is His Highness of the Kingdom of Sartre, and Xiahoushan is the prince of the Kingdom of Xiali. This identity does not prevent them from entering the Xuantian Sect. As long as they are serene and obey themselves, no one will make things difficult for them."

"But Elder Zou is different. He is a spy sent by the Prime Minister of the Sartre Kingdom. I discovered it a few months ago. The reason why I didn't arrest him was to follow the clues and find other spies hidden in Xuantian Sect and the spies in the capital through him. So I have never exposed him. Now, I'll be in vain for a few months after you disturb me."

"I'm sorry, Great Elder. I have broken your plan, please punish me." Yichen did not expect that due to his recklessness, the deployment of the Great Elder was disrupted.

In fact, the Great Elder had already hinted at himself through Piao Ran, but Yi Chen didn't care much.

I was secretly blaming the elder in my heart, but now I found that I was wrong and made a mistake that might be irreparable.

"Forget it, you can't blame you." Xuan Dao sighed and said, "I didn't tell you last time that I didn't want to cause trouble, and it was also for your safety. Moreover, even Brother Yuwen may not be aware of Elder Zou's affairs."

"Because of your extraordinary talent in martial arts, you may be the strongest disciple of Xuantian Sect in history. I have asked the Supreme Elder to give you special treatment. So I didn't want you to participate in Elder Zou's affairs, after all, you are still young and you can't grasp some things."

"However, in just a few months, you have changed from the second and third grade of War Super League to the level of War General, and today I have defeated Elder Zou, who is the fourth grade of War General. I believe that in less than a few years, you will definitely become a first-class expert in the Tianluo Kingdom."

"But, since you already know that Elder Zou is a spy, I'll tell you something more." Xuan Dao stroked his long beard and could see that he liked Yichen very much and trusted him very much.

Yin Wuwei, the prime minister of the Sartre Kingdom, was a disciple of the old monster Youyin, and was treacherous and ambitious.

He wanted to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Sartre and the Kingdom of Xiali to expand the sphere of influence of the Youyin Sect and try to threaten the Kingdom of Tianluo.

However, Xia Li Kingdom was still hesitating and did not agree. So Yin Wuwei sent spies to move around.

Some lobby for the kings of Xiali Kingdom through various methods, while others use the two princes to indirectly attack. Some go to the Tianluo Kingdom to win over imperial officials and local forces, or various sects...

Elder Zou is one of them, and there is also a fifth general who should be his boss. This person may be in Xuantian Sect.

Elder Zou secretly inquired about the military intelligence of the Tianluo Kingdom, passed it to Yin Wuwei, and tried to cooperate with Xiahoushan to convince King Xia Li, but was rejected...

"But Tianyun City and the capital have spies from the Sartre Kingdom, and have developed a lot of spies. I didn't take Elder Zou just to fish. After all, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, because you don't know when and where he will attack you in what way."

"Yi Chen, and girl, don't mention anything today to anyone." Xuan Dao's attitude was very serious at this time: "I don't want to alarm the snake, so you just think that nothing happened."

With the sleeves of Xuan Dao's robe, Elder Zou's body turned into ashes on the ground and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

“Master, you…”

Seeing this scene, Piaoran couldn't help blurting out. Elder Zou's body and even the blood on the ground disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace left.

What a way to burn corpses and destroy traces. Look at the elder who is usually kind but also has a cruel side. With such powerful skills, it would be great if Yichen would have such a strong skill.

So Piaoran ran over and hugged Xuan Dao's arm, and said coquettishly: "Master, you have so many magical powers, so teach Yichen a few."

"Why should I teach him? He is not my disciple." Xuan Dao said with a stern face.

"This..." When asked by the master, Piaoran didn't know how to answer, and her pretty face turned red.

"Silly girl, if you know your thoughts, don't be shy." Xuan Dao couldn't help laughing when he saw Piaoran's embarrassed look: "But he doesn't need me to teach him. He has his own way of practicing, and he is better than mine."

"Really? Why can't I see it?" Piao Ran didn't seem to believe it.

"Not only can't tell, but I just feel it. He doesn't even know it himself, but he does have something different from ordinary people."

Xuan Dao thought something and turned to Yichen and said, "Yichen, you have a special storage space on you, otherwise the sword you last time would have nowhere to hide. Ordinary storage rings can only store dead objects and ordinary weapons, and weapons that reach the king level cannot be placed."

"And that sword has surpassed the king level. Since you can retract and release it freely, it means you have treasures to accommodate it."

"No matter how you get it, it is your fortune. I don't want to inquire. But what I want to tell you is that whether it is the sword or the treasure, their original masters are not comparable to our generation. Conservatively speaking, they have surpassed all the martial artists in the Tianluo Continent."

Whether it is Cangmu or the Five Elements Emperor, they are all existences far beyond the king level.

Xuandao can judge these with just the Cangmu Sword and the Sun and Moon Pot that he had never seen before, and he is worthy of being knowledgeable.

"You also have a special physique and are suitable for practicing higher-level martial arts. This is why we cannot see through your cultivation at a glance. So what I can provide is the Yunxiao Secret Room of Xuantian Sect, which can absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing you to quickly improve your strength. Although you only practice in it for half a year, compared with the outside world, it is at least equivalent to more than three years."

Generally, disciples with better qualifications and strong understanding can enter the Yunxiao Secret Room for half a year to practice, and can basically improve their cultivation level in the second to third grades.

But in Xuandao's opinion, Yi Chen should be able to break through to the fifth grade of the war general, and that would be the best among the inner disciples. It would be no problem to be absorbed as a core disciple at that time.

"Yi Chen, your talent and understanding are impeccable. You are a rare martial arts genius. I hope you will achieve something in the future and don't forget to develop Xuantian Sect."

"The Xuantian Sect has stood in the Tianluo Continent for thousands of years, relying on the responsibility of the sect leader and the Supreme Elders of all generations. At the earliest, the Xuantian Sect was the most powerful in the continent and could despise Youyin Sect. Now it is the opposite. The Youyin Sect is strong and far from comparable to our Xuantian Sect."

"The Tianluo Kingdom is vast and rich in materials. They have already salivated themselves. Sooner or later, they will trigger wars due to the snatch of resources. The mission of Xuantian Sect is to defend the territory of the Tianluo Kingdom from being occupied, protect the people of Tianluo from being bullied, and protect the peace in this world."

"I hope you are in the guardian team. Since war is unavoidable, let's prepare first. You may not understand the management of Xuantian Sect, why are you forming cliques and even bullying fellow disciples in the sect, and the elders turn a blind eye."

"That's because only those who stand out in the cruel competition, who are responsible and capable, are the real strong people. Those who are bullied and do not resist cannot stand up at critical moments and fight bloody battles to protect their homes."

No matter how high a person's cultivation is, he cannot fight against an army. War is the most cruel. It is not like fighting one by one, but fighting in large numbers. Only a strong team can face the war.

Fear, cowardice, hesitation, and concern can only cause oneself and his family to be massacred. There is no sympathy in the war, only victory or defeat. All rules and systems are formulated by the winners, and the losers are not qualified to participate.

So, when facing things you don’t like, you have only two choices, either accept or change.

Change not only requires courage, but also strength. This world is a paradise for the strong, and the weak can only passively accept everything.

If a martial artist cannot defend his country, no matter how strong you are, he will only be able to show off his courage.

After hearing Xuan Dao's earnest words, Yichen suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment.
