Chapter 1348 - 1348: Who Is the Spy

The ground shook violently, as if an earthquake was about to occur.

The sky also resembled an overturned dye vat, with dazzlingly colorful light clusters colliding freely.

It actually looked quite beautiful, and due to the special space rules in place, none of the buildings were damaged, not even a single leaf fell.

But the people present all had their expressions change dramatically.

Except for Gong Qing and Jiang Cheng, everyone else was in a panic.

"Enemy attack!"

"Someone has discovered this place!"

"They're attacking us here!"

"Oh no!"

"How could our hiding place be so secretive and yet get exposed?"

"Since the enemy dares to attack so openly, their power is certainly stronger than ours."

"Our secret realm cannot withstand an attack for long!"

"What are we going to do, what are we going to do?"

Amidst the chaotic cries, Jiang Cheng cheered.

"Hooray!"

Upon learning that an enemy was coming, he was almost overcome with joy.

After all, having been doubted like that just now, receiving various evaluations of unworthiness, although he didn't say anything, he must have felt a bit hurt inside.

Especially when compared to the unrivaled status of Refining Heart Dao, it was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.

Damn, he was a Divine Lord over there.

Here he wasn't even fit to be a Supreme Palace Master of a small sect?

Gong Qing didn't introduce his achievements, estimating that even if she did, no one would believe.

He needed a chance to strike, to teach these clueless female immortals a lesson.

To show them what high-level combat power means.

To let them truly experience how mighty and magnificent Jiang Taishang is!

This enemy attack was simply manna from heaven to him.

Then these female immortals would each bow down, stargazed-eyed, clutching their legs, crying out Supreme Palace Master you're amazing, God lead me...

Thinking of that scene, he was somewhat enchanted.

The thought was beautiful, but the first step met with a setback.

Amongst the panicked crowd, his gleeful expression was simply too conspicuous.

The women quietly calmed down, staring at him with a scrutinizing look.

"Supreme Palace Master."

Venerable Linjing's meticulously crafted pink crystal face inexplicably darkened.

"Can you tell us why, with strong enemies approaching, you're suddenly so happy?"

Venerable Xue Yi had colorful snowflakes swirling around her, floating up and down. She stepped forward slowly, sternly glaring at Jiang Taishang.

"Could it be, our Ice Palace's peril actually suits your plan?"

All around, other disciples seemed to receive a hint, suddenly coming to a realization.

"I got it, he's a spy!"

"He was sent by the enemy, deliberately infiltrating us to expose our Sect's location!"

"Since he came, we have lost hundreds of disciples, severely weakening our power, and now the enemy is drawn in."

"This person was mysterious from the start..."

"Too despicable!"

"I propose that he be immediately apprehended!"

In no time, Jiang Cheng faced a situation of being mobbed.

He was so frustrated he wanted to spit blood.

The promised scene where a bunch of girls would cling to his leg with starry eyes hadn't even started yet and it turned into this?

"Have you watched too many spy dramas? It's a pity these imaginative thoughts don't lead to becoming a screenwriter."

Luckily, he had Gong Qing as his absolute advocate.

"It wasn't Supreme Palace Master's doing; do not be rude to him!"

If Lord Jiang wanted to harm us, there would be no need for such complex troubles; he could directly extinguish the entire Ice Palace.

Her defense silenced the women, yet they shot daggers from their eyes at Jiang Taishang.

Evidently, they weren't easily convinced.

This reaction made Brother Cheng a bit dissatisfied.

Thus, he finally decided to deploy his other signature skill—the wager.

"Alright, alright, let me handle it."

He kept Gong Qing from speaking any further, smiling as he approached the women.

"Are you so sure it was me who leaked it?"

"Hmph!"

The women continued glaring at him.

Just constrained by Gong Qing's strong presence, their true thoughts remained unspoken.

"Here's the deal, I'll magnanimously give you a perfect opportunity to topple me."

When he said this, the women were indeed tempted.

"What do you mean?" Venerable Linjing asked in a deep voice.

Brother Cheng shrugged: "It's very simple, we'll have a wager."

"If those enemies outside were truly drawn by me, then I won't be the Supreme Palace Master anymore."

As soon as he said this, the women immediately became interested.

In fact, they were eager for Jiang Cheng not to be the Supreme Palace Master, greatly overshadowing them—they couldn't accept it.

But Venerable Xue Yi scornfully replied, "If you did lead them here, you shouldn't be Supreme Palace Master anyway."

Brother Cheng thought it's not easy to lure you into a trap, so he offered more favorable conditions.

"Alright then, if it turns out I did bring them, I'm at your disposal; Gong Qing can't intervene."

The women gazed at each other.

Does this mean we can seize him, even give him a beating if necessary?

At this, they could not resist.

"Are you serious?"

Brother Cheng nodded emphatically: "Absolutely not deceptive!"

"Okay, we'll bet with you."

The women cheered.

"You are obviously a spy, thinking you can fool us?"

"Just wait until you have to explain yourself!"

"Sisters, let's show him; see how he can climb over us!"

Brother Cheng interrupted their celebration.

"But what if it wasn't me that led them?"

Venerable Linjing solemnly asked, "What do you want?"

"I won't make it difficult for you; just bow next time we meet and say 'Supreme Palace Master, I was wrong,' isn't that okay?"

The women initially thought he held back some big move.

Turned out to be so simple in the end?

At once, they relaxed a bit.

"No problem!"

"We agreed!"

"We'll see how it goes."

"Palace Master will vouch for us!"

"There's no way he can back out!"

Gong Qing stood by, speechless.

She already guessed who leaked the information.

It should be the ones who just left the alliance.

Soon, everyone went outside.

Upon seeing, several disciples were nearly despairing to the point of fainting.

There were layers upon layers of various demon races surrounding the peaks.

At a glance, there were at least forty or fifty thousand!

The sheer number alone was enough to bring despair.

Even if the strongest among the forty or fifty thousand demon races were only Celestial Venerables, they could easily flatten the Ice Palace with only twelve hundred people.

This was the Yunmi Dao where strength lies in numbers.

Moreover, among those dark demon races, they could easily sense several terrifyingly strong auras.

As formidable as mountains, towering tall.

Such an array made the women's hearts sink in despair.

The gap was too large.

They couldn't think of a way to win.

No, forget winning, even escaping would be a miracle.

And at the forefront stood Tansha Daoist Venerable and more than two hundred Stone Race People who had left the Ice Palace earlier.

Seeing them, the women were startled.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hahaha, take a guess?"
