726 Write Down A Festive Chapter At The Dawn (1/2)

For a lot of things, it was impossible to think about before they happened. However, when it happened, it was not a surprise when thought from another angle.

The golden core was broken and Yuanying was out… wasn't this just a normal thing to happen for Wang Lu?

He had been at the peak Jindan Stage for some time. For ordinary cultivators, this period was very short, far from enough to complete the bottleneck breakthrough accumulation. However, for Wang Lu who had the Void Spirit Root, how could there be so many troublesome bottlenecks?

Moreover, Wang Lu was the lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect and the senior leader of the organizing committee. He had so many resources at hand that many large immortal cultivation sects felt sincere envy. And with such a large amount of resources, how could the Yuanying accumulation breakthrough not possible?

Wang Lu had long been able to achieve Yuanying Stage. He stayed at the peak Jindan Stage just to cope with the Grand Competition. Under the special competition system, Jindan was more useful than Yuanying.

Right now, although the Grand Competition appeared to be still alive, it was actually already over. Wang Lu hence had no need to suppress his cultivation. Thus, when the golden core was broken and Yuanying came out, everything was logical. At the same time, Wang Lu also took this opportunity to plot against Senior Gem Emperor.

”It really opened my eyes.”

Senior Gem Emperor also expressed her sincere admiration.

Strictly speaking, even though she was not a loser, and on the contrary, it would've been really a problem for Wang Lu to send out the Yuanying sword in Jindan Stage competition, but was Senior Gem Emperor a person who fussed over minor matters? Wang Lu didn't mention the matter of suppressing the stage in the competition. It was her own initiative to restrain herself. It was Wang Lu's own ability to breakthrough the stage on the spot. In particular, she, who had the magical ability of Calculation Immortal, couldn't feel anything unusual before the fight, which could even be said as remarkable.

Therefore, when the purple sword qi touched her forehead, Senior Gem Emperor was willing to concede. As an Emperor, she was willing to accept defeat.

Wang Lu smiled and said, ”In fact, this is not worth mentioning. But I think this sword strike is enough to prove one thing: You are not as omniscient and omnipotent as you think. Your mind has a dead angle, so in the face of the Fallen Immortals, you will definitely need other people's help.”

Senior Gem Emperor was silent for a while, obviously thinking about it. After a while, she looked at Wang Lu and said, ”Can I trust you?”

Wang Lu replied, ”At a time like this, no need to ask such useless topic, right?”

”Hahaha, well said. But you better think about it, my trust is very heavy.”

Wang Lu took a deep breath and said, ”No matter.”

”Good, you have guts.” Senior Gem Emperor smiled and nodded. She closed her eyes and pondered for a long time. When she spoke again, Wang Lu appeared solemn and frowning.

”There are indeed traitors in the Earth Immortal camp, but I can't pinpoint them at all. In fact, the banishment of Xuan Mo and the others or the blatant show off of my cards in the City of Immortals are just ways for me to try to muddy the water and lead the snake out of the hole.”

”In other words, you're basically just groping in the dark?” Wang Lu shook his head. The situation was worse than what he expected at first. ”How about the number?” Wang Lu added.

Senior Gem Emperor said, ”Still not certain, maybe one, maybe more.”

”... Nothing is certain. How can you be sure that there is really a traitor?”

”These were his last words to me. I don't think it's going to be wrong.”

Wang Lu's heart moved. Did 'he' in the words of Senior Gem Emperor mean the legendary former leader of the Earth Immortals who fought against the Fallen Immortals in the front line?

... Frankly speaking, his existence was indeed like a legend. Because up to now, Wang Lu still didn't know the real name of the leader. Every time he heard Xuan Mo and the others mention him, they were always in awe of him, such that they didn't even dare to mention his name at will.

Even now when Senior Gem Emperor talked about that man, although there was no humility in her tone, she was full of respect and even vaguely put him above herself.

This was really strange. An Emperor should put oneself above anyone, yet Senior Gem Emperor was willing to put herself under other people?

After thinking about it, Wang Lu took over the conversation from Senior Gem Emperor, saying, ”Was it the last words left more than ten thousand years ago? And you haven't found the traitor yet?”

Senior Gem Emperor said, ”Then, it was too late. He also made that judgment right before he went to sleep. I thought I would keep the secret forever in the dark, but fortunately, I woke up and obtained the opportunity to investigate it.”

The more Wang Lu heard it, the more suspicious he felt, especially the first sentence. He said, ”Before he went to sleep? Did he not disappear in the battle against the Fallen Immortal?”

Senior Gem Emperor glanced at Wang Lu. His clear eyes made her realize that the water in it was deeper than what she thought.

In other words, it might be speculated that the leader of the Earth Immortals did not die in the decisive battle. The news of his death was either a rumor deliberately released or a misunderstanding by Xuan Mo and the others. In short, their leader actually entered the Tomb of Immortals with them and fell into a permanent sleep, but before he slept, he made a judgment that there were traitors among them. Unfortunately, Senior Gem Emperor did not have time to find those traitors… until more than ten thousand years later when she unexpectedly awakened.

However, therein lay a question: Why did he not tell anyone else about this matter, but only Senior Gem Emperor?

”Forgive me for being bold, but this is an important question, and I have to confirm it. What was your relationship with him?”

Senior Gem Emperor smiled gently and said, ”Sun Buping was my Daoist Companion.”
