Upon hearing Wang Yuan's order, someone immediately whispered to notify those who participated in the action meeting to come closer.
Almost all who could know about this operation were figures with great power and status within the Litang Sect.
Among the very few outsiders who attended this meeting,
Tang Yu was one of them.
As the current main information provider for the Litang Sect,
he had supplied a vast amount of data to the Sect, and in the merit book he already had entry after entry.
This plan was also formulated and executed based on the information provided by Tang Yu.
At that moment, Tang Yu's main body was sitting on the battlefield, following custom, using his special skill "the dao of snow" to feed those sirens with snow.
Because this skill was too unpleasant.
In the Yinming Sea, several races were already offering million-level rewards for his head.
Especially the great demon beast families tasked with attacking the Hehuan Sect.
The rewards they offered could be exchanged for tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones.
If it weren't because he couldn't deceive others, Tang Yu would already be thinking about making a clone to trick and obtain the reward.
Upon arriving at the main hall of the highest place in the Litang Sect, Tang Yu entered and saw that almost everyone had already arrived; he was the last to arrive calmly.
Fortunately, he had thick skin and did not feel uncomfortable at all; he found his place, sat down, and looked toward Wang Yuan.
He had already seen the movement in the warehouse using Situ Yu's body and guessed that the plan had failed.
Otherwise, Wang Yuan and the others should still be wreaking havoc in the rear of the Yinming Sea.
Wang Yuan, as leader of the Litang Sect, was naturally seated in the main position; at his sides were his four uncle masters.
Among them, Ji Cheng and Yi were to the right and left respectively, while the other two sat a little further back.
Tang Yu also had superficial knowledge about the affairs of the Litang Sect.
He knew these four elders in the Integration Realm had originally wanted to sit on the Sect's throne.
But in the end, Wang Yuan, a young man, appeared and took that place.
Thus, these four had certain objections toward Wang Yuan, their nephew.
However, over time, Yue Ha and Dan Duo gave up fighting for power.
But Ji Cheng and Yi Xi hid very well; until now, the Litang Sect had not achieved true unity.
"The reason I have summoned you to this meeting is very simple: to talk about this secret operation."
"When we entered the rear of the Yinming Sea, we planned to destroy at least three warehouses in one blow and weaken part of the enemy's supply line."
"But as soon as we arrived, we were surrounded by the enemy; if it hadn't been for the intervention of the Snow Leopard Ancestor, we probably wouldn't have returned."
"So I believe everyone understands what I mean."
Suddenly, Wang Yuan struck the table forcefully.
"There is a traitor among us!"
Tang Yu opened his eyes wide, looking at Wang Yuan.
A traitor among us?
No, please.
"Anyway, I'm not participating."
Looking at those present, all male cultivators, although Tang Yu had some lustfulness, he was not interested in men.
"The Sect leader doesn't suspect leader Tang Yu, who provided the information, is the traitor, right?"
Yue Ha was the first to ask.
"Of course, it's not leader Tang."
Wang Yuan was the first to clear suspicion about Tang Yu, since he had the least motive to do such a thing.
"Then do you suspect that one of us four elders who did not participate in the operation is the mole?"
Dan Du, with a beautiful appearance, let out a slight laugh while stroking her yellow paper umbrella.
"Yes, there are some doubts."
Wang Yuan's answer was very direct.
These four uncle masters were very dissatisfied that he was the Sect leader, and he knew it well.
But his thinking was simple: the Litang Sect is still the Litang Sect.
We are all one family.
That is why he was willing to accept certain losses, compensate the four uncle masters, and concede in various aspects.
But if that concession only brought grievances, then he would show no mercy.
"I just returned from the front, fighting to the death against several demon cultivators, and now I have to be suspected as an internal woman? What do I gain from that?"
"Gain your position as leader? When they didn't let us, your brothers and I, be leaders, even if you die, there will be another Wang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, or Zhou Yuan."
Ji Cheng's attitude was the most vehement, growling with fury.
Everyone present saw Ji Cheng lose patience so much for the first time and were left speechless.
"Fine."
Yixi, who had not spoken until now, said indifferently.
"In fact, we do have that suspicion. Since that is the case, I will take the initiative and swear before the Great Dao to prove my innocence."
After a pause, he raised his hand and swore.
"If I betray the Litang Sect by selling information, may Yixi be tormented by internal demons his whole life and die without peace."
With Yixi taking the initiative to swear, Yue Ha and Dan Du also raised their hands and swore immediately after.
When they finished swearing, all eyes turned to Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng did not hesitate to raise his hand and swear.
After swearing, he looked at his disciple and asked:
"We have sworn before the Great Dao, leader, have you discovered who the traitor is? If you cannot know, could you explain it to the four of us?"
Wang Yuan did not expect the four to be so determined, swearing before the Great Dao to prove their innocence.
But if these four were innocent, who would be guilty?
Could it be this group that participated in the operation?
Just as Wang Yuan was doubting whether he should bow and apologize,
a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Everyone stood up and respectfully saluted:
"Snow Leopard Ancestor."
Wang Yuan turned and saw the Sacred Snow Leopard had arrived, hastening to clasp his fists and bow apologetically.
"This plan has failed, I did not want to interrupt the ancestor's meditation, please forgive me."
At that moment, the size of the Snow Leopard returned to normal.
His gaze swept over everyone and finally settled on Wang Yuan.
Seeing Wang Yuan's face, which resembled the previous master in his youth,
he sat on the ground and roared:
"Yì! Wù!"
Wang Yuan quickly translated.
"The ancestor means that protecting the Litang mountains is a sacred and unavoidable duty for every person of Litang."
"That's right, ancestor."
The members of the Litang Sect nodded in agreement.
Tang Yu, being an outsider, did not dare to sit and had to stand with them, not knowing what to say.
What puzzled him most was that although the Sacred Leopard was at an advanced cultivation level, he never took human form nor spoke human words.
According to the clues he investigated, it seems that when the Leopard took human form in the past, it was too noisy.
And Emperor Dingzhen, who had a level allowing him to make his words law, simply ordered him: "Leopard, shut your mouth."
Since then, the Sacred Leopard could no longer speak human words and, of course, never took human form again.
"Yí! Wù!"
The ancestor Leopard roared again.
Wang Yuan hurriedly translated.
"Now that the great battle is intense, you are an important force for the Litang Sect. How can you let some misunderstandings cause internal fights that delay the war?"
"Ancestor is right."
Everyone felt ashamed.
"Yí! Wù!"
The ancestor Leopard continued.
Wang Yuan, who could understand the ancestor well, was the best translator of his words.
Hearing the ancestor's voice, Wang Yuan quickly translated.
"Litang has always been one family. Some small problems and doubts are normal, but you must not allow that to damage harmony."
"That's right, ancestor."
Everyone responded in unison.
"Yì! Wù!"
The ancestor Leopard transmitted his voice again.
Wang Yuan translated quickly.
"We must think more about how to do things that benefit the sect. Understanding the Dao from small details is also a way to cultivate."
"That's right, ancestor."
Everyone gratefully listened to the teaching of the ancestor Leopard.
