Chapter 236 Invite The Evil Nemesis
Chapter 236: The Avenger Arrives
When Yi Ran saw Zhang Chi enter the main hall with the Monster Attracting Banner, his scalp tightened.
He never expected that Zhang Chi would not only escape his clutches but also obtain the Monster Attracting Banner.
Now all he could do was pray that Zhang Chi wouldn't use the Monster Attracting Banner to lock onto him. Otherwise, not only him, but the entire Treasure Weapon Sect would be doomed.
Already not a particularly powerful sect, now they had encountered this situation. There was no hope for further development of the sect. It would be a good thing if they could escape with just a scratch.
What they feared had come true. When Miao Yin saw Zhang Chi entering with something, she thought he didn't know the rules and quickly reminded him, "Zhang Chi, did you just arrive? Why haven't you put away your Law Weapon?"
In such an important alliance meeting, it was definitely not appropriate to display weapons casually. Who knew if this weapon would be of any use?
Miao Yin thought that by reminding him, Zhang Chi would put away the item and others wouldn't make a big deal out of it.
Thanks to her good intentions, Zhang Chi continued the conversation, "This is not my Law Weapon, but evidence I found."
"What evidence?"
"Profound Heart Sect was infiltrated, and the formation was suddenly broken. It couldn't have been done by the River Monster alone. We have an internal problem, and this item is related to the mole."
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's words, Xuan Ming Perfected Being from Profound Heart Sect became excited.
The formation was inexplicably broken, leading to the failure of the war. Profound Heart Sect had been unjustly blamed, but now they had evidence, and he wouldn't let the mole go, whether they were from Profound Heart Sect or outside.
At this moment, Yi Ran still hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem because his discussion with Yin Xun about cooperation didn't involve sabotaging the formation.
Zhang Chi's appearance was perfectly timed.
The alliance was dividing the blame, and Miao Qin hadn't made a final conclusion yet. With just one sentence, Zhang Chi smoothly shifted the focus to the mole.
Indeed, the formation of Profound Heart Sect was inexplicably broken, and everyone retreated, leaving some people to defend the original Talisman Treasure Sect's headquarters on Hexin Island. The remaining high-ranking members came to the Celestial Melody Pavilion for the meeting.
The most discussed topic was the mole.
The formation was broken for no reason, so there must have been an internal problem.
But they had fled in a hurry and couldn't investigate the problem immediately. They could only start with testimonies.
However, the formation of Profound Heart Sect covered a large area, and everyone was focused on the battle of the Divine Ability experts.
According to common sense, the Divine Ability Realm hadn't finished fighting, so it wasn't time for low-level cultivators to fight.
When the high-end forces had an absolute advantage, who cared about the low-level ones?
But in the battle at Xuanxin City, the Dragon River Alliance was taught a harsh lesson.
The River Monster didn't follow the rules of combat and went on a killing spree after breaking the formation.
The River Monster and the human cultivators were mixed together, and the human experts couldn't directly use area spells to sweep through. They also had tactics to prevent high-level experts from beheading them.
The River Monster Race united, while the human cultivators fought separately. No one expected that the humans would ultimately be defeated.
The main reason for the defeat was the sudden collapse of the formation, which caused subsequent chaos and led to their defeat.
Now, the clues related to the culprit were right in front of them, and everyone was naturally excited.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Chi slowly explained the cause and effect.
He detailed his experience of being attacked by a wave of ferocious beasts while patrolling. When he signaled for help and resisted the wave, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with these beasts. After searching nearby for a while, he found the Monster Attracting Banner.
The story was logical and had relevant evidence.
In addition to Long Yan and Chong Ling's testimonies, there were also some civilians who were closer to the wave of beasts who could testify.
Zhang Chi mentioned that after removing the Monster Attracting Banner, the ferocious beasts retreated, but the Monster Race remained. Around the same time, the formation of the Profound Heart Sect was broken.
Therefore, Zhang Chi suspected that the breaking of the Monster Attracting Banner and the Profound Heart Sect's formation were related.
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense and had a clear line of reasoning. They almost understood the cause of the matter.
Only someone from within could have planted the flag within the patrol range.
The other party probably intended to break through the rear defense line with a wave of beasts, but unexpectedly encountered Zhang Chi. Moreover, Zhang Chi's strength was not weak, and he managed to hold his ground and find the Monster Attracting Banner, disrupting the enemy's plan.
The other party did not give up and directly destroyed the grand formation.
This reasoning makes sense, but it is completely unrelated to the correct answer.
However, the matter has become a consensus, and no one would think that the owner of the Monster Attracting Banner came to kill Zhang Chi.
Is it necessary for a mere Foundation Building cultivator to use a Low Grade Law Treasure to plot against him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
This must be a conspiracy to attack the main city with a wave of beasts!
The River Monster Race is truly treacherous, and the traitor is even more despicable.
Fortunately, they were lucky. Zhang Chi disrupted the enemy's conspiracy and preserved the evidence.
As long as they follow the clues, they will surely find the traitor.
Yi Ran: "..."
Only the true victim knows how much injustice they have suffered.
Yi Ran really wanted to say that he only wanted to kill Zhang Chi, but now he dare not speak up at all.
If he defends himself, others may not believe him. Even if they do, his attempt to harm Sword Sect's Zhang Chi will be exposed, and Treasure Weapon Sect will still have no place for him.
This feeling is just like when Gu Youyou stole five hundred spirit stones, and the Spirit Stone Cave reported a loss of five hundred thousand.
It's simply unfair, but he can't argue back.
Yi Ran is in the same situation now. He dare not speak and can only pray that the other party cannot track him through the treasure.
The members of the alliance have now taken the wrong path of thinking. They did not consider investigating Zhang Chi's enemies as a starting point. They thought Zhang Chi's appearance there was just a coincidence.
As a result, the owner of the treasure is still a mystery, and there are no clear directional clues.
They have studied the Monster Attracting Banner for a long time but have not figured out anything.
Yi Ran sees this and feels much more relaxed.
Fortunately, he is clever. He only infused a wave of spiritual power and cut off the connection between himself and the Monster Attracting Banner in advance. Even if the other party wants to investigate, they won't find him.
When Yi Ran heard that the experts had all inspected the Monster Attracting Banner and expressed their inability to find the true mastermind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that they can't find him. If they can't find him, he will be safe.
But just when Yi Ran thought the storm had passed, Long Yan spoke up.
"If no one has any leads, why not let Zhang Chi handle it? Zhang Chi was already famous in the Sword Sect, and everyone called him the nemesis of evil."
Long Yan had also interacted with disciples from the Sword Sect and had long since gathered information about Zhang Chi.
Long Yan thought that the title of nemesis of evil was the coolest, even cooler than Zhang Chi's real name.
Zhang Chi: "..."
No, why do you have to play it awkwardly when giving nicknames?
