Chapter 493: Chapter 279: Who Approves? Who Opposes!_3

The other cultivators were also baffled at this scene.

Some regained their senses, guessing something, yet they somewhat couldn’t believe that the old ancestor had just become the Alliance Hierarch and was now seeking to establish his authority by finding someone from the Demon Sect?

But the one lying there… isn’t that a True Disciple of the Snow Sword Sect?

Although his cultivation is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he is young and talented.

He has the potential to make a breakthrough to the Golden Core, to become a mainstay of the Snow Sword Sect!

Such a person… has actually colluded with the Demon Sect?

Some cultivators couldn’t believe it, while others with rich imagination had already conjured up many terrifying scenarios.

And the True Disciple at the center of everyone’s attention,

intended to say something.

Suddenly, his body shuddered,

and he stood up like a zombie, straightening his body before slowly turning around.

He looked towards the figure of a pink beauty that appeared on the platform.

This figure was naturally the human form of Illusion Dream.

After the use of the Dream Entry Divine Skill, the True Disciple’s eyes immediately turned white.

Afterward… not much time passed.

Suddenly, rolling black qi surged from the True Disciple’s body, and a black lotus mark appeared on his forehead!

Demon Lotus Sect!

Seeing this mark, many elder cultivators, including the three powerful ones, all twitched, thinking of the demonic sect that had been causing them endless headaches.

Following that, they heard the True Disciple reporting to the figure across from him as if he recognized her as the Sect Master of the Demon Lotus Sect.

He was sycophantically giving his report on the intelligence he had gathered in this period and all the arrangements he had made.

In the end, he grinned and said,

“Sect Master! With just one more Lotus Heart, I am eighty percent sure that I will make a breakthrough to the Golden Core.”

“By then, I will definitely gain more trust from that old fellow.”

“The success rate of the poisoning will definitely increase.”

“I will also be eligible to succeed as the Snow Sword Sect Master if something happens to you!”

“Once I become the new Snow Sword Sect Master, I will be able to better cooperate with the Holy Sect’s plan, offering up the entire Northern Land to the Venerate!”

“Sect Master? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Did I make some kind of mistake?”

The confident True Disciple became nervous all of a sudden.

It seemed that in his dream, he saw something that terrified him greatly.

Then, before the other could wet his pants in fear, Meng withdrew her divine skill.

Causing the True Disciple to stagger back a few steps, his gaze regained clarity.

He noticed the demonic qi on his body and the painful mark on his forehead.

He realized everything and immediately fell to his knees, his face ashen.

“You wretch!”

The Snow Sword Sect Master couldn’t help but roar.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, he was suppressed back by a wave of Su Ping’s divine sense.

Then, the voice of the Alliance Hierarch resonated in the assembly hall:

“Gentlemen, you have seen it yourselves, the Demon Sect’s villains have already infiltrated the various sects and factions of the Northern Land.”

“This is also why I invited everyone here, without prior notice of this matter, and why I set up the Big Array to cut off communication.”

“Please do not resist needlessly… let my attendants use their divine skills to check each one of you!”

Su Ping, seizing the moment, did not intend to give the united sects of the Northern Land any time to react.

He activated the formation and divided the assembly of cultivators into sixteen areas.

Then Meng transformed into a red light and fell into an area, employing her divine skills to invite them into a dream.

The remaining Big Demons appeared above the gathering, patrolling the surroundings just in case.

Indeed, some demon cultivators were driven to desperate actions.

There were those seeking to flee under the immense pressure, and those attempting to take their nearby Taoist friends hostage.

There were even demon cultivators attempting to ignite their Divine Souls to self-destruct and release a terrifying toxic gas.

However, in front of the Demons of significantly higher ranking and assisted by the formation,

these ant-like tactics were so trivial they did not even require physical contact to handle; a mere glance or a press of divine sense was enough to deal with them.

Furthermore, all those who self-destructed or attempted to escape were cultivators of the Foundation Establishment’s initial and middle periods.

None of those in high positions, from the late period to Perfection of Foundation Establishment, sought death voluntarily.

Even a Golden Core Elder from the Eternal Life Temple was found to have the Demon Lotus Sect’s mark on him.

Then the elder, with a face full of shame, bowed his head in admission of wrongdoing and revealed that he had indeed coveted the cultivation resources provided by the Demon Lotus Sect.

However, he was truly not a demon cultivator from the Demon Lotus Sect, and although he took their benefits, he did not help them in any way, and he had never leaked a single piece of information.

For this reason, the Golden Core Elder made an oath and was willing to open his Divine Soul for inspection by a Great Power.

The Eternal Life Temple Master did believe what he said, but still felt immensely disappointed.

If these little tricks were of use to the Demon Lotus Sect, the Demon Sect would have gone bankrupt long ago, and why would the Immortal Sects be wary?

To the Eternal Life Temple Master, those were merely lures, and once the timing was right, they would throw out a large enough bait to confuse hearts and minds, and then his own True Disciple would embark on the treacherous path of deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor…

As more and more demon cultivators were uncovered,

The sect leaders from various sects who participated in the gathering went from initial disbelief, to shock, and then to sheer relief.

If it had not been for this Old Ancestor who acted as the Alliance Hierarch and employed this strategy,

They would have only realized something was amiss when everyone conducting affairs in their sect turned out to be from the Demon Sect.

At the same time, they noticed that several sect leaders from minor sects were also caught as demon cultivators.

This immediately reminded them that these small sects seemed to have changed their leaders over the past decade or so?

Hisss!

Looking at it now, could it be that those sect leaders were betrayed and killed by miscreants within their own ranks?

And as these demon cultivators disclosed more and more information,

It began to piece together a terrifying plan like a puzzle.

It suddenly became clear that the Demon Lotus Sect was planning to strike big, aiming to sacrifice dozens of elite cultivators from various sects in one fell swoop, while also summoning an Evil God Avatar to distract the upper echelons of the Three Great Sects.

They intended to create confusion to fish in troubled waters.

The cultivators, having heard this, all turned their eyes toward the Alliance Hierarch.

Now it seemed!

The Alliance Hierarch was truly the savior of the Northern Land!

After all the divided areas had been put into the dream,

Just when everyone thought it was over,

Suddenly, as the formation contracted, a blood light enveloped the bigwigs of the Three Great Sects.

All four Big Demons, along with the Body of the Blood God, focused intently on the three individuals.

“The three of you, please do not resist!”

“I have said before that I will not let a single bad person go!”

“Nor will I wrong a good person!”

“Please open your Divine Souls and enter the dream to see for yourselves!”
