Don't be fooled by the fact that seventy-nine people correspond to the ratio of more than one thousand two hundred; this is the main base of Tian Gong, and every individual who can cultivate here is part of Tian Gong's core.
More importantly, among these seventy-nine individuals, the majority are elders.
"Logically, it's easier to subdue a deacon than an elder, so the probability of a deacon being a spy should be greater than that of an elder. However, in actual challenges, the spies are more often the elders. Clearly, the Demon Tribe's strategy is to grant the elders more rewards of dark power, while many deacons haven't even qualified for dark power."
Qin Chen squinted his eyes.
This also indicates that, despite only seventy-nine spies being perceived among over a thousand people, there are others who have already sided with the Demon Tribe but have not been granted dark power; among these individuals, the vast majority are deacons.
In other words, the number of spies definitely exceeds seventy-nine.
"Very well, after I complete my challenges, I will catch all these spies in one fell swoop."
Qin Chen made up his mind and initiated another challenge.
This was already the fourth day of the challenges.
Whoosh! A figure radiating an overwhelming aura soared toward him.
This was a powerful being with a gaze exuding sharp killing intent, wielding a black spear; terrifying spear shadows surrounded him, bursting forth with a heavenly aura.
"It's Elder Black Feather!"
"That's his half-step Heaven Venerable Artifact, the Black Feather Divine Spear; he actually decided to challenge too."
"Ten million contribution points! Who wouldn't want that?
With Elder Black Feather taking action, Qin Chen is in danger."
"Elder Black Feather is a half-step Heaven Venerable level expert; he might just be able to defeat Qin Chen."
In the outside world, many people were excited as they saw Elder Black Feather soaring in.
Elder Black Feather, a half-step Heaven Venerable elder, finally arrived on the fourth day after more than a thousand matches.
Amid various discussions, Elder Black Feather paid no attention to the comments around him and directly entered the arena.
Proud and aloof.
A half-step Heaven Venerable is almost second only to the acting vice hall masters and some ancient relics sleeping within the Tian Gong Headquarters Secret Realm, thus he had the qualification to be proud.
In the arena, Elder Black Feather staked one million contribution points before coming before Qin Chen.
"Qin Chen!"
Elder Black Feather smiled at Qin Chen; however, being of the cold and stern type, his smile felt very frosty.
Qin Chen's heart stirred.
A half-step Heaven Venerable.
Finally, a half-step Heaven Venerable has made his move.
To be honest, the opponents Qin Chen most wanted to face were the half-step Heaven Venerables in the Headquarters Secret Realm. This is because half-step Heaven Venerables are just one step away from the Heaven Venerable level, but that step is also the hardest to cross, resulting in many half-step Heaven Venerables being stuck at this realm for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
The dark power from the Demon Tribe can enhance the strength of these half-step Heaven Venerables who cannot break into the Heaven Venerable realm, giving them more hope of crossing into the Heaven Venerable realm.
This level of expert is also the easiest to be seduced by the Demon Tribe.
Once the Demon Tribe seduces such a powerful being, if they break through the Heaven Venerable realm, they are likely to become a new acting vice hall master in Tian Gong, which is the biggest gain.
"Very well, let me see whether you are human or ghost."
Boom! Before Elder Black Feather could say anything, a torrent of sword energy suddenly surged from Qin Chen's body.
The sword energy transformed into fish-like shapes, swimming wildly in the void, quickly converging together to ultimately form a vast river of sword energy.
In this river of sword energy, chaotic power surged forth, crashing toward Elder Black Feather like a roaring torrent.
