Netherworld Retrograde

At the moment of heart inquiry with the Heart Inquiry Sword, the Judgment Team's Great Spiritual Ability User's expression changed.

The memories sealed deep within his consciousness came rushing out at this moment.

These were methods of the Chaos Faction. To avoid exposing the existence of Dark Piles and Nails, they would completely seal the believers' memories and integrate false memories and backgrounds.

This made these Nails truly loyal Human Warriors to Giant City before certain code words were triggered, thus evading Giant City's screenings, even having once slain believers of Chaos.

But once the code words were given, the memories would be completely sealed, awakening as if from a great dream.

The false curtains were ruthlessly torn apart, and the loyal warrior instantly "awoke," as if breaking free from a long dream, exposing a shape that had long been corrupted and twisted by Chaos.

And this Great Spiritual Ability User was a Nail embedded in the official interior by Chaos.

A youth rescued from the Wilderness from the hands of the Chaos Faction, who awakened his Spiritual Talent under official nurturing, thus joining the official ranks, step by step becoming a trusted warrior by the officials.

And years later, he became a member of the Judgment Team, gaining companions, comrades, and family in Giant City.

Even he himself, did not know he was a Dark Pile of Chaos.

However, when the Heart Inquiry Sword revealed its might, the barriers in his mind finally broke down.

Chaos' faith reoccupied his thoughts, but facing the sharp edge of the Heart Inquiry Sword, he could only let out a final scream.

The Heart Inquiry Sword slashed through the air, directly severing his head, so swiftly that even the Supreme frowned.

The head rolled to the ground, its gaze swept across Li Ye Lai, and the originally dilated pupils contracted slightly. But he made no move, exhaled his last breath, and completely died.

The Chaos believer hidden within the Judgment Team was mercilessly slain by the Heart Inquiry Sword. At the moment the blood splattered, Zhou Tian Dominator's face suddenly turned ashen.

This traitor, Sun Zhao.

A veteran who had struggled within the Judgment Team for over ten years. How many team members had fought alongside him? Even Zhou Tian himself regarded him as a trustworthy comrade and ally! Who would have thought that beneath this human facade, lay wrapped Chaos' faith?

A mix of betrayed anger, shame of oversight, and icy fear twisted Zhou Tian's heart like toxic vines.

His knuckles turned white from the grip, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the roar almost bursting from his chest, and could only lower his voice to say: "Let everyone... laugh at us."

Qingxu Venerable grit his teeth and said: "We're really a joke, suspecting others and monitoring others, yet ending up with a traitor in our own team! Deal with it immediately, how did such a Chaos believer sneak into the Judgment Team?"

"Immediately isolate all of Sun Zhao's close associates and relations! No matter the closeness, bring them all in for questioning, inquire one by one! I need to know if they were unknowingly deceived or... conspirators!"

"Securely blockade the news externally! Sun Zhao of the Judgment Team died in execution of a high-risk mission..."

"All Judgment Team members! From now on, no one is to leave! Conduct the Heart Inquiry Sword examinations as quickly as possible, without leaving anyone out!"

"Next, heads of departments, Ye Boshou... full inspection must be conducted within No.1 Border City!"

"Yes!" Zhou Tian Dominator nodded.

Even the usually amiable Qingxu Venerable had an extremely unpleasant expression at the infiltration of Chaos believers into the Judgment Team.

If not for the traitor being unexpectedly discovered by the Heart Inquiry Sword before any plans were executed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Especially with the Judgment Team suspecting Little Mad King at this juncture. Should Sun Zhao order the arrest of Little Mad King under the guise of the Judgment Team, directly causing conflict with Champion Team One, the trouble would truly be significant.

This unexpected incident forced all members of the Judgment Team to remain at headquarters.

And the Furnace Heart Venerable spoke to Yang Chen and others: "Gentlemen, please maintain confidentiality."

"Of course. We are completely unaware." Yang Chen nodded: "Next, we're heading to the Mo Family to visit Master Mo Hai. Honestly, we've long anticipated the equipment crafted by Master Mo Hai."

"Good." Qingxu Venerable responded with a smile: "The craftsmanship of our Mo Family is trustworthy. My son's spiritual ability craft is likely superior to those from the Forbidden Zone."

Master Mo Hai is Qingxu Venerable's youngest son.

After Li Ye Lai, Yang Chen, and others departed, Qingxu looked towards the Furnace Heart and asked: "How are they?"

"Young and promising indeed, the eighth champion's vigor is vibrant, even I wouldn't want him close. The ninth champion... his abilities are mysterious... with great potential, if they grow, they'll surely surpass us older ones. As for the Puppet Dominator, even now she struggles to suppress her spiritual energy surges unceasingly. Such strong talent... as for Little Mad King, Mad King's adopted granddaughter... although, a misunderstanding has occurred."

Qingxu Venerable sneered at the words: "But the misunderstanding could have been avoided, she has enough alibi. Even if it's the curse power, can't we rationally judge? Even the strongest assassin couldn't travel back and forth in such a short time, injure a Supreme like you and return back!"

"Being cautious is never wrong. Besides, it hasn't cost them anything, instead they've gained the blessing of the Heart Inquiry Sword, haven't they?" The Furnace Heart looked at Qingxu: "Now, with our endorsement, the outside world won't suspect her anymore. See, not only did it cause no loss, but also gained proof of trust."

"Let this not happen again, your sudden suspicion towards Little Mad King has aroused doubt among the champions against you." Qingxu Venerable said: "They were dragged into ghost conflicts by inexplicable enemies, engaged in battle with Returning Duke."
