"Look at me? Shouldn't you first look at our patriarch? Because I want to ask, how is it that your He Luo clan has raised such a shameless traitor like Wu Nian?"
The ancestor of the turtle tribe stared intently at the patriarch of the He Luo clan as he questioned him.
Both belonged to the Ten Tribes, and the He Luo clan had always been famous in the Yinming Sea for its cunning and wisdom.
Faced with the accusation from the turtle tribe ancestor, the He Luo clan patriarch responded in a tone neither submissive nor arrogant:
"Why do you say that, ancestor? Do you have any proof that shows Wu Nian is a traitor?"
"After the formation was activated, that brat went straight to the Litang Mountain Range to chase after that human cultivator named Tang Yu. Not even half an hour had passed since his departure when the formation suddenly started to fail."
"Poor old me, I barely managed to return, and of the young ones who led the formation with me, only three came back."
"Those three barely saved their lives thanks to the help of our people, yet Wu Nian's soul plaque remains perfectly intact."
"When we demons fall into the hands of the Litang Sect, you know well what our fate is."
"If Wu Nian isn't a traitor, then are you implying that I ruined the formation?"
The turtle tribe ancestor roared with a tearing voice.
His argument was quickly backed by many of the demons present.
Throughout all these years, neither side ever took prisoners. If you fell into the enemy's hands, the only fate was death.
With a blood feud dragging on for generations, there were only four words to describe their relationship:
Total extermination.
Seeing the attitude of these people, Tang Yu, who barely qualified to attend this meeting, couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
That "bucket of shit" had completely fallen on Wu Nian's head.
Without showing emotion on his face, he directed his gaze at Huang Feng.
At that moment, Huang Feng had already fallen to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and his physical condition was so pitiful it was hard to look at due to his severe injuries.
Receiving Tang Yu's gaze, with no alternatives or intention to retreat, Huang Feng raised his voice.
"Gentlemen, this humble subordinate has something to say."
"You are Wu Nian's second-in-command from the Killer camp, right? What's going on? Are you here to prove his innocence?"
A radical demon, who had a good relationship with Wu Nian, spoke immediately.
Everyone present also looked at Huang Feng.
Huang Feng, as if having made a difficult decision, gritted his teeth.
"Before this operation started, Commander Wu Nian was acting strange. Even before leaving, he told me things like he owed me a lot over these years…"
The expressions of many of the great demons present darkened immediately.
If even Huang Feng, his right hand, said that…
what else could be said?
"Empty words! Don't slander without proof! Wu Nian lost his parents in the war when he was young and holds a deep hatred for human cultivators. How could he ally with them?"
The He Luo clan patriarch slammed the table and jumped up. He was completely sure that young Wu Nian could not be a traitor.
But the turtle tribe ancestor could no longer hold back. He raised his hand and unleashed a divine technique directly at him.
Luckily, another elder at the Dao Integration Realm present blocked the attack by raising his hand, frowning, and shouting his name forcefully:
"Mu Mo!"
The turtle tribe ancestor, seeing his old friend intervene, clenched his fists with fury and fixed his gaze on the He Luo clan patriarch while speaking:
"If I do not receive a clear explanation about Wu Nian, from today on the turtle tribe and the He Luo clan will be at deadly war."
"Deadly war!"
Several of the great demons of the turtle tribe shouted in unison with rage.
The great demons of the He Luo clan stepped forward without showing any expression, flying to position themselves behind their patriarch, their gazes without the slightest hint of fear.
Both clans had roughly equivalent forces.
But now that the turtle tribe ancestor had dropped in level, if a battle broke out, the He Luo clan would have the advantage!
Seeing that two clans of the Ten Tribes were about to fight each other, the other demons present held their heads in despair.
They were already in an extremely unfavorable situation.
If they now started an internal war, they would only worsen the situation.
Thanks to multiple interventions to calm tempers, both sides temporarily ended the confrontation, but
the looks they exchanged were still filled with murderous intent.
And considering both clans had neighboring territories, it was almost inevitable that a great war would break out between them.
In that tense atmosphere, those present resumed the meeting to discuss the upcoming battle strategy.
After the most important topics were discussed,
a great demon at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm stood up.
"We have talked about official matters. Now there is something I want to show you related to the appearance of a traitor among us. I fear there is not only one or two like Wu Nian."
As soon as he mentioned the word "traitor,"
everyone present looked back at him with bated breath.
The great demon speaking was a member of the sea dragon tribe, of very high rank within his clan, and one of the first allies Tang Yu attracted to his side.
He took out several scrolls with a serious expression:
"In recent days, there have been frequent supply thefts, some secret operations were ambushed by human cultivators, and even human cultivators have appeared wreaking havoc in our rear."
"That's why I investigated for a while and discovered that indeed, there is a group of people secretly collaborating with human cultivators, unscrupulous, only for their own benefit."
The radical demon cultivators allied with Wu Nian, upon hearing these words,
couldn't help but feel joy deep inside, and all looked at Tang Yu.
Wasn't that group exactly the group of cursed beasts led by Situ Yu?
But when that great demon showed the contents of the scrolls for everyone to see,
that entire group was stunned on the spot.
The evidence recorded in the scrolls pointed to their own group.
"Lies! This is slander!"
"Stop defaming us! If I had done something like that, may I be struck by lightning and not have a good death."
"The innocent do not fear slander, stop accusing me of nonexistent crimes."
A group stood up indignantly, almost ready to fight.
A normal meeting, and it turns out the traitor is me?
"I have brought both witnesses and evidence, gentlemen, please review them. If I am wrong in my investigation, I am willing to accept the corresponding punishment."
The sea dragon tribe cultivator applauded, and about ten low-level demon cultivators entered.
Along with them came magical artifacts, pills, and other objects.
The numerous great demons present showed serious faces as they dealt with the matter.
And even more, more than ten great demons on Tang Yu's side took the lead in the attack.
The demons summoned as witnesses firmly pointed out how that group of radical demon cultivators had given them specific orders.
The evidence found also came directly from the residences of those radical cultivators.
With complete testimonies and evidence,
the accused group felt more disgusted than if they had swallowed feces.
Several even chose to swear under the Great Dao to prove their innocence.
And then, two of them suffered immediate retribution.
Tang Yu, seeing that scene, smiled silently.
He had already investigated that group of radicals for a long time.
To incriminate them, he had secretly ordered everything to be manipulated.
For example, secretly increasing the amount of supplies delivered to the Killer Camp, and assigning part of them under Wu Nian's name.
In several ways, they managed to make even the accused unaware that they had extra items under their names.
This way, if they swore under the Great Dao…
And claimed they had committed no corruption, like the two who just did, the result was courting death.
That is why cultivators do not dare to swear under the Great Dao unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Lock them all in the Imprisoned Dragons Formation and continue investigating the case."
Seeing that two had been punished for their oath, one of the leaders of the Ten Tribes gave the order angrily.
From then on, no matter how they defended themselves,
a great demon used a divine technique to send the group directly to the Imprisoned Dragons Formation.
The Imprisoned Dragons Formation is where the most dangerous criminals are held in the Sea.
Once inside, few demon cultivators manage to come out alive.
The radicals imprisoned were fiercely suppressed within the formation.
Their inner resentment grew to the sky.
Is the Sea going to be destroyed by these damned traitors and miserable scoundrels?
