895: 249 895: 249 When Yan Yourong and the others suspecting a traitor earlier had mentioned Li Ke, they specifically noted to pay attention to Liè Yàn, not because they suspected him to be a traitor, but, if there was a traitor, the only person worth noting would be Liè Yàn.
She had been paying attention to Liè Yàn all along just in case, but she never expected that Liè Yàn would turn out to be the traitor, and what’s more, he directly made a move against Bei Yan.
With a cold snort, she raised her hand and slashed with her sword.
In an instant, a fierce blade light shot out, like a dragon soaring through the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it caught up to the flames released by Liè Yàn, instantly extinguishing them.
She could attack Liè Yàn directly, but by doing so, Bei Yan could be very likely hit by Liè Yàn and get injured, and naturally, she would choose to protect her disciple.
Liè Yàn’s strike missed, and he quickly flew out, heading straight for Dao Yi’s direction.
Dao Yi, too, quickly opened his mouth and shouted, “Don’t kill him.”
The crowd around them had noticed Liè Yàn’s earlier attack on Bei Yan, and upon hearing Dao Yi’s words, they instantly realized that Liè Yàn might be the traitor of Hundred Peaks Sect!
Su Fangrong’s heart filled with shock; Liè Yàn was not just any ordinary disciple—that was a being of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, one of the ten Immortal Generals from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, a pillar-like existence within Hundred Peaks Sect.
Yet now, he discovered that Liè Yàn was a traitor to Hundred Peaks Sect!
How powerful had the remnants of the former dynasty become to be able to implant such a person within Hundred Peaks Sect?
If they could plant a mole in Hundred Peaks Sect, what about other Immortal Sects?
They couldn’t possibly have done nothing, could they?
Even his own Star Moon Mansion might have their people!
Because of everyone’s timely rescue, Little Bei Yan was able to quickly retreat, returning to the side of the people from Hundred Peaks Sect.
Dao Yi, looking at Bei Yan who had safely returned, did not immediately order everyone to attack Hundred Peaks Sect, but looked at Liè Yàn with dissatisfaction, coldly saying, “Useless, even a sneak attack failed to severely hurt the others.”
Liè Yàn merely stepped aside, his head lowered without speaking a word.
And from afar, seeing Liè Yàn fly into the enemy’s formation enraged everyone from Hundred Peaks Sect.
“Liè Yàn, it was actually you!”
“You actually betrayed Hundred Peaks Sect!”
“Liè Yàn, who would’ve thought it would be you, you who grew to be one of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, was it all really due to your own cultivation?
Do you know how much Flying Immortal Peak has sacrificed for you?”
Everyone truly did not expect that it would be Nie Jie who betrayed Hundred Peaks Sect.
Listening to the words of Hundred Peaks Sect, Dao Yi suddenly sneered, “Liè Yàn betrayed Hundred Peaks Sect?
What a joke.
Liè Yàn has always been one of our people!
Do you think that he was first recruited by your Hundred Peaks Sect?
I’m not afraid to tell you that Liè Yàn’s father served us, and Liè Yàn was someone we deliberately placed in the town where your Hundred Peaks Sect was recruiting disciples, allowing you to take him away.
He has never been a Hundred Peaks Sect person; he has been ours all along.
Moreover, do you really think Liè Yàn became one of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and has such high combat power because of Hundred Peaks Sect’s cultivation or his talent?
I’ll tell you, it’s neither.
He has taken the Nirvana Pill as well; it’s not just Hundred Peaks Sect that has it.
He has already undergone some Nirvana, which is why he could reach such heights today!”
The people from Hundred Peaks Sect were stunned in an instant.
So, was Liè Yàn a person from the remnants of the former dynasty from the very beginning?
With a sneer, Dao Yi waved his hand towards the direction of Hundred Peaks Sect and coldly commanded, “Now, even if you die, you can die with clarity, attack!”
As his words fell, person after person from the remnants of the former dynasty, as well as individuals from the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty, began to take action.
In an instant, streams of divine skills shot out.
The scene plunged into chaos in a moment.
In the crowd, mana surged out from the many fantastical Golden Cores behind Liè Yàn.
The next moment, among the ten combined Golden Cores, one suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light.
Then, a pitch-black flame rose from his body.
Many who cultivated Fire Techniques and divine skills could release flames, surrounding themselves without burning their own bodies.
However, under the wild burning of Liè Yàn’s flames, they scorched his own flesh.
The flames seemed to burn his entire being into ashes, frantically surging into his own body, penetrating his flesh and invading his insides.
In just a moment, the black flames seemed to have completely merged with him, yet under the fiery blaze, a pained expression appeared on his face.
And the black flames morphed into the phantom of a bud, about to bloom.
Secret Technique!
Actually, he had been studying this secret technique all this while.
Today, the secret technique had just reached Great Perfection, and now was his first time displaying it in front of everyone.
The next moment, his body suddenly dashed forward, and the budding flower burst into bloom.
It was a black flame, a black bud, but upon blooming, it turned into a fiery red night-blooming cereus.
Each petal seemed to be formed by flames capable of incinerating mountains.
In an instant, the temperature in this area soared, and even the distant ground, due to the scorching heat, saw every blade of grass igniting spontaneously.
