“Now, apart from our investigation, the only way to uncover the truth is through the entrance and exit records of the Ancient Universe Tower. Although we are confident that the other party cannot leave the Ancient Universe Tower during our arrival, we cannot rule out that one-in-a-million chance. Therefore, the entrance and exit records of the Ancient Universe Tower must remain intact.”
The Ancient Craftsman Venerable looked at the other four great venerables, “What we need to do now is to work together to seal off this area, preserve the evidence, and then go meet Vice Hall Master Xueqi and the others to clarify the reasons. We must strictly prohibit any entrance and exit from the Ancient Universe Tower, and transmit the information to Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable, waiting for the lord’s orders. What do you all think?”
Left Eye Venerable nodded, “Agreed.”
Supreme Weapon Venerable said, “I concur.”
The other two venerables also expressed their agreement.
At this moment, the group sealed off the scene, set up an array plate, and quickly departed.
The Ancient Universe Tower was vast, and searching for someone inside would be extremely difficult. The best method was to guard the entrances and wait for them to come out.
Shortly after, the Ancient Craftsman Venerable and the others arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Universe Tower, where they also met Blood Qi Heaven Venerable and others.
The news that a Demon Tribe spy at the venerated level had acted inside the Ancient Universe Tower, possibly including Blade Perception Venerable, was shocking, like thunder, leaving Blood Qi Heaven Venerable and others astonished.
As vice hall masters, Blood Qi Heaven Venerable and their group naturally had the right to know everything, and the Ancient Craftsman Venerable would not hide anything from them.
True Heaven Venerable, with a shocked expression, exclaimed, “Are you saying that Blade Perception Venerable is a spy from the Demon Tribe?”
“No, we didn't say that.”
The Ancient Craftsman Venerable shook his head, “We only have an eighty percent certainty that among the powerful beings fighting in the Ancient Universe Tower, one is Blade Perception Venerable. However, we cannot determine whether he is a spy from the Demon Tribe or if he was fighting against the spy.”
True Heaven Venerable let out a sigh of relief, “I knew Blade Perception Venerable couldn’t possibly be a spy from the Demon Tribe. This… news is simply too shocking.”
The other vice hall masters nodded in agreement, finding it hard to believe.
After all, they had been friends for countless years and didn’t want to doubt one another.
At this moment, Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry suddenly sighed, “Actually, I suspect that Blade Perception Venerable is not a spy from the Demon Tribe.”
“Why?”
Everyone looked over.
Heavenly Venerable of Inquiry explained, “Right now, what we are hypothesizing is that one of our powerful beings discovered another spy from the Demon Tribe, and a conflict broke out in the Ancient Universe Tower. No matter who our powerful being is, if he survived, regardless of whether the Demon Tribe spy was caught or not, he would definitely stay behind to wait for us. This way, we could jointly capture that Demon Tribe spy, which would be the best method.”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if they discovered a spy from the Demon Tribe, whether they defeated the opponent or were defeated, they would find a way to contact the other vice hall masters to jointly capture the spy.
However, since no one received any news, another possibility loomed larger.
That is, the heavenly venerable who discovered the spy from the Demon Tribe very likely lost the battle and possibly was killed. After realizing their arrival, the Demon Tribe spy immediately left and hid, trying to conceal their identity.
Otherwise, everything could not be explained.
If Blade Perception Venerable were this Demon Tribe spy, then after receiving their message, he should have acknowledged that he was in the Ancient Universe Tower and appeared immediately, pretending to have been drawn in by the commotion, to clear some of the suspicion.
