Chapter 1742: Chapter 1742: Are there any secret agents of Xiang Qiyan?

But what would that change?

Even if he had been subjected to endless pressure, he couldn’t just go and settle accounts with Xiang Qiyan, could he?

The things he had done before, even if Xiang Qiyan had an inkling, he couldn’t admit to them; otherwise, it would be a one-way road to death.

Now he was out of options. The remaining subordinates of the Liushang Sect had been causing him trouble, demanding he compensate them with large sums of money. Moreover, those he had bullied before were constantly troubling him now that he had lost Xiang Qiyan’s protection.

His only choice was to try his luck in the Flame Mountain Range, hoping to come across some valuable treasures that would help him escape his present predicament.

However, things were not as simple as he imagined. If there was someone among those entering the Flame Mountain Range who was from Xiang Qiyan’s side, he would not have such an easy time.

His plan now was to have those people killed in advance if they were from Xiang Qiyan, to prevent them from causing trouble once inside the Flame Mountain Range.

But the news he received was that Xiang Qiyan hadn’t sent anyone at all.

His first reaction was disbelief. With such a great opportunity, how could Xiang Qiyan possibly not send someone? Perhaps Xiang Qiyan’s men were just well-concealed?

“Your subordinate confirms there are no people sent by King Yan; all those who have obtained spots are members of the major clans. Your subordinate has already sent people to verify the identity of each individual,” answered the subordinate, a cold aura emanating from him.

Originally, it would have been possible to trace Zhan Beiye, but unfortunately, he was using the identity of a disciple from the main faction of Qingyun Sect, which they simply couldn’t track.

Apart from Zhan Beiye and his two companions, Xiang Qiyan really hadn’t sent anyone to interfere in the Flame Competition.

“Continue the verification. Check if any of the noble clan young masters are Xiang Qiyan’s hidden agents,” Xiang Qifeng continued to instruct; he would not allow such an occurrence to happen.

This time, as he entered the Flame Mountain Range, he was determined to succeed, not allowing even the slightest chance of error.

“Yes, my lord,” the subordinate responded, then turned and left.

Upon Xiang Qifeng’s signal, the other few followed suit.

Since the entry spot was with that person, if anything happened to him, they would fail to enter the Flame Mountain Range. Therefore, they had to ensure his safety.

…

Half a month later, in front of Qingyun Sect’s gates.

Three hundred people had already gathered, waiting for the sect leader of Qingyun Sect to appear and open the Flame Mountain Range, allowing them to enter and search for treasures.

Xiang Qifeng was among these three hundred people.

Due to the large crowd, his vision was a blur, and he did not notice Zhan Beiye standing at the back of the crowd.

On Huayan Peak, Xiang Qifeng had seen Zhan Beiye and Qian Jiyun; he recognized the two, yet despite their investigations over the past half month, no one had been linked to Xiang Qiyan.

As a result, he gradually relaxed, not expecting that among these three hundred people, there would be someone sent by Xiang Qiyan.

Soon, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect arrived, followed by Qingyun Sect’s Second Elder and Third Elder. They were the leaders of this expedition. As for the Great Elder, due to the blunder with Gu Qingyu, he had been directly stripped of his qualifications to enter the Flame Mountain Range.

Upon seeing the sect leader arrive, the initially noisy sect gates instantly quieted down.

“This foray into the Flame Mountain Range will last one month. Any treasures acquired within the Flame Mountain Range, save for one-tenth to be left with Qingyun Sect, the remainder may be taken back by each of you to dispose of as you please.”
