Chapter 162.2 So, You Are the Spy (2/2)
"Rumble!"
The Snake King swung its head about, trying to fling the searing dagger out of his throat. Unfortunately, the hapless snake didn’t have hands; he couldn’t just pluck it, and could only do his best to make it come off by flailing about.
The Snake King struggled, letting out deafening roars. The massive destruction had already sent the few concussed men flying away. Countless rocks and dirt were swept up by the violent moves.
Zhu Yan, covered with dust, was also thrown a distance away and landed beside the gate. He looked at the Snake King painfully trying to get rid of the gold dagger, then he looked at the strangely peaceful gold dragon in his belly. Zhu Yan was in a daze.
"What… did I do? I just wanted to kill myself. How was I saved instead?" Zhu Yan was at a loss.
The Snake King continued to swing about, trying his best to solve the crisis.
Without further hesitation, Zhu Yan turned around and left through the gate.
There’s no way I would stay and wait for my death now that I’m free!
He ran at full speed after he left the premises. Although his cultivation was sealed, he was still quick when it came to running. He was rather familiar with the Dragon Cultivation Town and was quick to find his way back to Wang Ke’s place.
Zhu Yan suddenly felt that the Dragon Cultivation Town was fraught with danger. Only Wang Ke’s manor was his safe haven.
He used the same escape tunnel to return, then he ran back to his own room.
His eyes came across the small bottle on the table.
"Oh! My good, good treasure! I was wrong about you! Quick, quick, quick! Help me disguise!" Zhu Yan quickly opened the bottle.
This time around, Zhu Yan was no longer afraid of being disfigured. He quickly put the entire allergen contents on his face.
"Tssssssssssssssssssssss!"
The reaction on his face produced corrosive sounds, and Zhu Yan’s face immediately became unsightly.
"Phew! Such peace!" Zhu Yan heaved a long sigh of relief.
I’m finally safe!
Safe? No, that was just the beginning.
The gold dragon woke up from its slumber by the previous agitation. It started swimming about in Zhu Yan’s belly, and waves of dragon Qi stimulated his body, making his entire body feel sore.
"Oh, my dragon boss! What are you doing? It hurts! Dragon boss! Please don’t! Help me!" Zhu Yan cried out in shock.
Alas, the gold dragon disregarded his pleas. The powerful dragon Qi continued to stimulate his body. He eventually fainted after a pained cry.
———–
Dragon Cultivation Town. Inside the house where the Demon Sovereign was.
"A double agent! You.. You’re a spy?" Wang Ke was shocked.
Wang Ke knew that Mo Sanshan was up to no good, but he did not expect him to be working for the Demon Sovereign.
Isn’t he the head of intelligence in the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Now he’s pledging allegiance to the Demon Sovereign?
If he’s a spy acting as the head of intelligence, the Heavenly Wolf Sect is in a dangerous situation! Most importantly, Mo Sanshan is an Astral Infant cultivator… He even deceived my revered teacher Chen Tianyuan.
Mo Sanshan glanced at the Demon Sovereign before he looked at Wang Ke, "Demon Sovereign, Wang Ke is a righteous disciple, and he’s acting to spy on us. You should have already seen the files I forwarded to you, right?"
Wang Ke came to a realization before the Demon Sovereign could reply.
"Oh, I get it now. So it was you, Mo Sanshan! The one who keeps falsely accusing me! The one who always slanders me in front of the Demon Sovereign!" Wang Ke cried out.
"Am I slandering you?" Mo Sanshan said with a black face.
Wang Ke bowed toward the Demon Sovereign and pleaded, "Of course! I can tell the Demon Sovereign everything about you! You even tried to assassinate me just now! Demon Sovereign, Mo Sanshan also killed our demonic sect’s brothers back in the Heavenly Wolf Sect. Please smite this fake spy to avenge our brothers!"
Mo Sanshan was annoyed. Damn you. It’s my first time seeing someone this good at coming up with dirt to smear someone.
I only said two lines, and now I became the worst criminal?
"Wang Ke, don’t mess around. I personally assigned Mo Sanshan as the Fifth Parlor Lord!" said the Demon Sovereign seriously.
"Fifth Parlor Lord? Isn’t it…!" Wang Ke was surprised to hear the name.
"Humph, Wang Ke, I bet you didn’t know about this. She Qingqing was not the only Fifth Parlor Lord assigned by the Demon Sovereign! Me too! She’s in the open while I’m in the dark! Whoever proves his or her worth will become the true Fifth Parlor Lord! A fake spy! You are the fake spy!" Mo Sanshan mocked.
"So, this means that two Hall Lords were already demonized when I entered the Heavenly Wolf Sect? She Qingqing and you?" Wang Ke was surprised by the revelation.
"What do you think?" Mo Sanshan said.
"What do I think? You and She Qingqing were both made the Fifth Parlor Lord? But you haven’t proved yourself, right? At most you’re a Fifth Parlor Lord-in-the-making; your rank isn’t higher than me by much!" Wang Ke answered in disdain.
Mo Sanshan: "…………………!"
Are we on the same page? No one is comparing ranks with you!
"Demon Sovereign, Mo Sanshan used Tong An’an to dig out all our demon spies in the Heavenly Wolf Sect. My demon brothers died horrible deaths! Demon Sovereign, please grant them justice!" Wang Ke spilled another wave of dirt on Mo Sanshan.
"Those people?" Mo Sanshan chuckled derisively, "I’ve reported this to the Demon Sovereign already. They deserved death!"
“Hmm?” Wang Ke was once again surprised.
"There’s a Parlor Lord working against the Demon Sovereign in the dark, trying to develop his own faction! Humph! The Demon Sovereign has wanted to deal with him for a long time. We have two groups of spies in the Heavenly Wolf Sect. One group was planted by the Demon Sovereign, while the other was sent by the rebelling Parlor Lord. The first group was led by Sun Song, and they died because of you. On the other hand, those I dug out using Tong An’an belonged to that Parlor Lord! Those who betray the Demon Sovereign deserve death!" said Mo Sanshan.
Wang Ke was shocked. He perfectly dodged the ink I spilled on him? That won’t do!
