2002 Passing By, There’s A Spy Among Us, Suspicion
A meeting to discuss the attack on the Eleventh Continent was held in the Central Heaven Universe.
A while back, they sneered at him for not contributing to the war.
Now, he had fought off Immortal Emperor Luo Tian, a Peerless Warlord.
It was a massive achievement because not even Emperor Skylord could successfully defend the continent, but Chu Kuangren did it single-handedly.
With that achievement alone, it would not be an exaggeration to confer him the title of Peerless Warlord.
Luo Yunxiu, Wu Mian, and the others from the Nine Kings were against Chu Kuangren, but after he achieved such huge merit, it fueled their jealousy and resentment of him.
However, they were more surprised about his strength — that he could single-handedly stop the Peerless Warlord, a Multi-Embodier.
It was something even they could not achieve.
“Heavenly Sword, don’t get ahead of yourself. This is just one achievement. The Nine Kings have achieved a lot more than you,” Luo Yunxiu said with a cold grunt.
“Hold up. I may be a Nine King, but I dare not be boastful in front of the Heavenly Sword. You can represent yourself,” Ling Fei said.
Luo Xue echoed, “It’s just one achievement, but to be able to defeat a Peerless Warlord and fend off the siege is a massive feat. It’s even more important than countless other achievements.”
“Emperor Skylord, what’s wrong with you? I refuse to believe you can’t stop Immortal Emperor Luo Tian with your strength.”
Ba Shen switched the target to Emperor Skylord.
Emperor Skylord was rendered silent, and his lips twitched helplessly.
He could, of course, stop Immortal Emperor Luo Tian, but he could not reveal the truth. The feeling of keeping a secret from the others was terrible, and he had to swallow up all the grievance alone.
In the end, after a struggle with his thoughts, he said, “Immortal Emperor Luo Tian is something else. I’m glad the Heavenly Sword decided to help.”
God King Sikong was annoyed to see that.
He knew Heavenly Sword did not do anything, but to the others, he had achieved something big.
The battle between the Heavenly Sword and Immortal Emperor Luo Tian had spread like wildfire.
Due to that, the Heavenly Sword’s reputation had risen to a whole new level.
“The Heavens was passing by,” Chu Kuangren said.
He passed by and simply defeated a Peerless Warlord?
The others were speechless.
“Were you really just passing by?” God King Sikong was suspicious.
The Void Battlefield was massive and almost boundless, yet he chose to pass by the Eleventh Continent to disrupt their plan, was it?
God King Sikong refused to believe it.
“Actually, I was the one who requested support from the Heavenly Sword.”
It was then that Di Feitian spoke up, and it surprised everyone.
They did not know that Di Feitian kept in contact with the Heavenly Sword.
God King Sikong frowned. He had cut off all the communication channels on the Eleventh Continent but missed out Di Feitian.
“Let’s put that aside first. The Heavens have something more important to say,” Chu Kuangren said as he looked around.
The attendees of the meeting were curious. Even God King Sikong was intrigued. Hence, he picked up his cup of tea and was all ears.
“The Heavens believe there’s a spy among us.”
God King Sikong spat his tea out immediately.
Spy?
The biggest suspect was him, the Heavenly Sword!
Heavenly Rainbow Dragon, Ba Shen, Emperor Skylord, and the few ancient God Kings narrowed their eyes.
They knew about the spy, but most of the God Kings did not
When the other attendees heard Chu Kuangren, they were shocked.
“Spy? Who is it?”
“Damn it! Which f*cker betrayed us!?”
“Heavenly Sword, do you have any proof? You can’t simply accuse anyone!”
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren.
He then looked at God King Sikong.
God King Sikong’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
“This person is you! God King Sikong!”
Everyone else immediately looked at God King Sikong, leaving him stunned.
‘What in the hell? I’ve been secretly investigating the spy, and it turns out to be me in the end, huh?’
“Heavenly Sword, mind your words,” God King Sikong said grimly.
“The attack on the Eleventh Continent isn’t by chance. First of all, the attack happened when the other continents were mobilizing and strengthening their defenses. Secondly, Dei Feitian asked me for help because all the communication methods were cut off for some reason.
“These are all highly classified military secrets, and only God King Sikong has access to all of them. Think about it. If it’s not God King Sikong working with the enemy, why would Immortal Emperor Luo Tian attack at such a sensitive time, leaving Emperor Skylord in an isolated situation?”
Chu Kuangren’s explanation sounded reasonable, and everyone started to believe him.
God King Sikong was sweating nervously. ‘Damn it!’
Chu Kuangren sounded so convincing that the others believed him.
Most importantly, God King Sikong really did all of those mentioned because of the plan.
However, he was not the spy. He was just trying to give the Eleventh Continent to Immortal Emperor Luo Tian, the spy they implanted in Pan Gu Universe, to strengthen his influence there. It was classified, and he could not reveal it at the meeting.
While the others glared at him suspiciously, he suddenly had no words to defend himself.
Emperor Skylord felt bad for him.
‘God King Sikong, you’re on your own on this one,’ he thought to himself.
“God King Sikong, we demand an explanation!”
“Is the Heavenly Sword telling the truth?”
“If you’re a spy, I will rip you apart!”
Some questioned him, and some revealed their killing intentions.
God King Sikong took a deep breath and said, “I admit I did not plan things out carefully for the defense mobilization. But as for the cutting off of the communication channels, I have sent someone to investigate it, and it’s actually a technical error…”
His words were not convincing at all.
God King Sikong continued, “I knew about the spy a long time ago, and I’ve been investigating it secretly for years. Heavenly Rainbow Dragon and Ba Shen can vouch for me.”
“He’s right.”
“Indeed.”
The others calmed down a little after Heavenly Rainbow Dragon and the rest vouched for God King Sikong.
God King Sikong breathed a sigh of relief. ‘That was close.’
“Besides, I’m the designated representative of the Temple Master. I have pledged my loyalty to him and will never betray him.”
The others then remembered that God King Sikong was chosen to be Shen Tian’s representative, so the odds of him being a spy was near zero.
That was unless he could fool even a Primordial.
“You said you were investigating the spy. What have you gotten after all these years?” someone asked.
“This spy is hiding very well, and I haven’t been able to pinpoint this person yet,” God King Sikong glanced at the Heavenly Sword as he spoke.
The Heavenly Sword frowned when he caught God King Sikong’s glance. “Are you trying to say the Heavens is the spy?”
God King Sikong explained, “I didn’t mean that.”
“Hmph!”
The meeting carried on as they talked about the spy, but it ended without any result.
At the end of the meeting, the God Kings were extra suspicious of one another and started to be cautious.
God King Sikong’s heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped up in his mind.
Flushing out the spy was not the true intention of the Heavenly Sword.
Heavenly Sword’s true intention was to release the information to them so that the God Kings would doubt and suspect each other.
From there, he would break them apart from the inside.
If God King Sikong’s thought was true, it would be terrifying.
The odds of the Heavenly Sword being the spy skyrocketed in his mind, but it all remained as groundless guesses.
He had no solid proof.
Given the Heavenly Sword’s reputation and power, calling him the spy without any solid evidence would cause panic across the universe.
If they somehow killed him and he turned out not the spy, the universe would lose its strongest sword against Chu Kuangren of the Pan Gu Universe.
