“There is indeed a traitor.”
Ye Yunfei nodded, his voice icy cold.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power Energy and Mental Force Energy meticulously sensed every single person, including the higher-ups of the surrounding Alliance Army.
Apart from Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also utilized their spatial secret arts to observe and perceive everyone within the grand hall.
This time, the matter involved his parents and clansmen, touching upon Ye Yunfei’s bottom line. Therefore, he would not let any related person off.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, those who had just been brought by Elder Kong were shocked and terrified.
“Young Master Ye, it’s not me, I have not betrayed the Alliance Army…”
Some individuals, faced with Ye Yunfei’s sharp and intimidating gaze, cried out in panic.
“Unwilling to step forward yourselves, is it? Fine. Once I find the traitor, they will face a fate worse than death.”
Ye Yunfei’s voice was utterly freezing.
“Master, let me use an Illusion Art. I will create some ingenious illusions and have them confess honestly within those illusions,” Hu Miao suddenly sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
“Oh?
Does Illusion Art have such an effect?” Ye Yunfei asked.
“Of course. I can create some figures from the Guardian Faction within the illusions. If someone is a traitor, they might reveal flaws upon seeing those Guardian Faction members,” Hu Miao said.
“Very well. Attempt it immediately. Trap every person in this hall in illusions, tempt them within, and see if you can make them confess,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
Hu Miao promptly began quietly casting Illusion Art. One bizarre illusion after another continuously appeared, surging towards the surrounding people in an endless stream.
Soon, everyone Elder Kong had brought fell into illusions, revealing a variety of expressions on their faces—confusion, terror, nervousness, anxiety, and so on.
“No, don’t kill me. You must not kill me, because I had long since defected to your Guardian Faction. I am one of your own. Don’t kill me.”
Suddenly, one person, their face full of terror, shouted loudly.
Ye Yunfei’s sharp gaze immediately locked onto him. This was a scout specifically responsible for gathering information outside.
“Master, we’ve found one,” Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei.
“Hu Miao, your Illusion Art is truly formidable! Your method might be even more effective than torture,” Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“Of course. Our Primordial Sky Foxes were already renowned across the world for Illusion Art in ancient times. That is not something we bluff about,” Hu Miao said proudly.
“Master, should I continue trying?” Hu Miao asked.
“Continue. There might be more than one mole,” Ye Yunfei said.
Thus, Hu Miao continued casting Illusion Art, creating more and more illusions that enveloped everyone in the hall except for Ye Yunfei.
Within these illusions were numerous self-proclaimed experts from the Guardian Faction launching frenzied attacks on everyone trapped in the illusions.
A moment later.
“Are you really from the Guardian Faction?
You cannot kill me. Although I appear to be part of the Alliance Army on the surface, I secretly defected to your Guardian Faction long ago. You must not kill me,” another high-level Demigod cried out, unable to withstand it.
Next, two or three more people in a row began to falter, completely sinking into the illusions Hu Miao had created for them, taking them for real, and shouting out loud.
“So, the Guardian Faction has truly infiltrated the Alliance Army. These guys usually move freely within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, knowing everything about this world cluster like the back of their hands. They must have secretly reported all the intelligence regarding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to the Guardian Faction,” Hun Lao couldn’t help but remark.
“Indeed. That is why the Guardian Faction knows where my parents and clansmen are, and also knows that as long as outside experts who enter the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds do not cause too much commotion or actively destroy this world cluster, the mysterious strong beings of the Colorless Abyss generally won’t be provoked into action,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Master, shall I continue?” Hu Miao asked.
“Continue,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
During this process, Ye Yunfei continuously utilized Soul Power Energy and Mental Force Energy to carefully sense every individual in the hall, including each high-ranking member of the Alliance Army.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Guardian Faction’s means of subversion were extremely sophisticated. Even the second-in-command of the Restorer Faction had been subverted into a mole. Therefore, the Guardian Faction would certainly attempt to subvert the higher-ups of the Alliance Army as well.
As time passed, the meeting hall was now filled with a massive number of illusions, dense and packed, occupying every space and corner.
Apart from Ye Yunfei, everyone in the hall kept falling into one bizarre illusion after another, including the Alliance Army’s Deities.
During this period, quite a few Deities had been born within the Alliance Army, with most of them being higher-ups. Right now, there were several Alliance Army Deities present in this meeting hall.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei’s gaze fell upon a yellow-robed elder. This yellow-robed elder was a high-ranking member of the Alliance Army who had only recently broken through to become a Deity.
Just a moment ago, Ye Yunfei perceived some strange emotional fluctuations and Soul Body fluctuations from this yellow-robed elder, putting Ye Yunfei on alert.
Thus, Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to Hu Miao, instructing her to create even more illusions specifically targeting that yellow-robed elder.
Within the illusions this yellow-robed elder was trapped in, numerous Deities from the Guardian Faction were hunting him down.
However, this yellow-robed elder was after all a Deity. The quality of his Soul Body was already quite good. Facing the various illusions Hu Miao imposed on him, although he was disturbed, he realized the situation was amiss and understood he had probably fallen into illusions. He persistently resisted the illusions, maintaining a certain degree of clarity.
But after holding out for a short while, he finally displayed some abnormal emotional changes and Soul Body fluctuations, which were immediately detected by Ye Yunfei.
“Are you saying this fellow might also be a mole?” Hun Lao asked, somewhat surprised, after Ye Yunfei informed him of the situation.
This was, after all, a Deity. If the Alliance Army had a Deity-level mole, it could potentially bring immense hidden dangers.
“Let me test him,” Huang Shang suddenly spoke.
“Hu Miao, let’s divide the work. I will suppress his Soul Body and weaken his Soul Force Energy, then you use illusions to probe him,” Huang Shang said to Hu Miao.
The next moment, Huang Shang unleashed a Yin Deity’s techniques. Immediately, many illusory ghosts forced their way into that yellow-robed elder’s Soul Sea.
Soon, a large number of malevolent spirits and vengeful souls appeared within this yellow-robed elder’s Soul Sea, pouncing toward his Soul Body.
Besides these malevolent spirits, copious amounts of ghost mist also continuously emerged within this yellow-robed elder’s Soul Sea.
Quickly, the yellow-robed elder’s Soul Sea seemed to transform into a ghost domain. Ghost mist roiled, haunting cries and wolf howls echoed, and a dense mass of souls kept appearing.
“What are these?
Get out of here!”
The yellow-robed elder soon began to falter. His Soul Body was besieged by numerous malevolent spirits and vengeful souls, with most of his Soul Force Energy used to deal with the many ghosts in his Soul Sea.
At this time, the illusions Hu Miao created also seized the opportunity, swiftly pulling this yellow-robed elder into one bizarre illusion after another.
Due to the suppression of his Soul Body and Soul Force Energy, the yellow-robed elder soon became unable to resist the illusions Hu Miao deployed. He slowly sank deeper into the illusions, unable to distinguish reality from falsehood.
“No, don’t. I am not your Guardian Faction’s enemy.”
This yellow-robed elder began to ramble nonsense.
“So it is!”
A cold smile appeared on Ye Yunfei’s face, already confirming in his heart that this yellow-robed elder was a mole.
“After devouring his Soul Body, I should be able to learn more details.”
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
In the next instant, he deployed the Soul Force Starry Sky technique. Over thirty Soul Force stars all charged out, instantly rushing into this yellow-robed elder’s Soul Sea and starting to forcibly devour his Soul Body.
This yellow-robed elder was merely a Primary Void God who had recently broken through. How could he be Ye Yunfei’s match? He was soon swarmed by over thirty Soul Force stars, his Soul Body torn apart limb from limb.
“It’s you, Young Master Ye.
Young Master Ye, why are you attacking me?
Spare my life!”
Before dying, the yellow-robed elder finally regained clarity. Realizing Ye Yunfei was attacking him, he cried out in panic.
“Don’t you understand why I’m attacking you?
Our Alliance Army does not accept moles. Since you chose to defect to the Guardian Faction, you chose death.”
Ye Yunfei’s words were icy.
The over thirty Soul Force stars then completely devoured this yellow-robed elder’s entire Soul Body.
“It turns out that besides this fellow, there are quite a few others. The Guardian Faction’s methods are truly formidable, having already infiltrated the higher echelons of the Alliance Army. If they hadn’t made a move against my family, I might still be in the dark until now.”
After extracting memories from this yellow-robed elder, Ye Yunfei’s gaze was cold, a sneer on his face as he spoke slowly.
“Very well, Hu Miao, retract your Illusion Art. All the moles in this hall have been unmasked.”
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
Hu Miao immediately withdrew all illusions.
Everyone in the grand hall regained clarity.
“What happened to Elder Ma?”
Everyone saw the corpse of that yellow-robed elder and was greatly shocked.
The yellow-robed elder’s surname was Ma, and he was an elder within the Alliance Army.
“Young Master Ye, what happened?” Xiao Ziming asked Ye Yunfei.
“This Elder Ma was a mole.”
Ye Yunfei said plainly.
“What?
Elder Ma was a mole?”
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the other higher-ups in the hall were incredulous, expressions of shock on their faces.
This Elder Ma was usually kind and good at social interactions, having good relations with other Alliance Army higher-ups, even making a few close friends.
In short, Elder Ma was a very popular higher-up within the Alliance Army. Now that everyone heard from Ye Yunfei that he was actually a mole, for a moment, they found it hard to believe.
