Chapter 1096: He’s a Spy!

Her words had just left her mouth as her figure simultaneously flashed out.

Everyone was immediately startled.

This woman actually intends to forcibly break the array with brute force!

"Su Li, don't!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man shouted loudly, his expression drastically changing. Streaks of sword light instantly surged from his side, carrying vast World Realm power as they swept toward Su Li.

The reactions of the others were quite similar.

Dong Min's expression also twitched slightly.

His Dao Companion was simply too reckless, daring to casually interfere and cause trouble with the Heavenly Net Sword Array.

One must know, once the Heavenly Net Sword Array is activated, if it is forcibly broken from the outside, it will immediately cause severe injury to the array holders, and may even damage their Dao foundation!

A full nine Late Stage World Realm cultivators—even for the Senluo Sword Sect, this would absolutely count as a significant loss.

If the Sect Leader were to find out about this, even if Su Li is the Elder with the highest cultivation level, she would inevitably be unable to escape responsibility.

Although Su Li's cultivation level was the strongest among the many Elders, she was no match for so many people. She was immediately suppressed by the combined World Realm power of the crowd.

"Su Li, what exactly are you trying to do!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man roared angrily: "Do you know the consequences of doing this!"

Su Li also became furious: "A bunch of fools, open your dog eyes wide and look—what kind of Aptitude do these two children possess!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and instinctively turned their heads to look.

Earlier, they had only noticed the two's exquisitely superb swordsmanship, but hadn't paid much attention to other aspects.

Now, upon inspection, everyone was immediately shocked on the spot, their jaws nearly dropping.

"The… the Ancient Sacred Body? Am I seeing this correctly?"

"Is it real? This old man hasn't slept for several hundred years, why does it feel like I'm dreaming?"

"That's right, that's right, it's the Ancient Sacred Body! It really is the Ancient Sacred Body!"

The light bursting from the middle-aged man's single eye practically outshone the sunlight, then his expression drastically changed: "Not good, these two children are in danger, we must stop them, quickly shut down the Great Array!"

He finally understood why Su Li had reacted that way earlier!

This is the Ancient Sacred Body!

Never mind ten World Realm cultivators, or ninety-nine Peak Eternal Realm cultivators—even if the number were increased tenfold or a hundredfold, it still wouldn't compare to the value of these two children!

Dong Min was also dumbfounded at this moment, then his face filled with deep regret.

He had been so careless—these two children were actually the legendary Ancient Sacred Body. Had he known they possessed such Heaven-Defying talent, how could he have possibly set up such an obstacle!

With such Aptitude, what need is there for any Sect entry examination?

"Dong Min, look at the fine mess you've made!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man flew into a rage, pointing at Dong Min's nose and cursing angrily: "Bastard, if these two children suffer even the slightest harm, I won't let you off!"

The others also wore expressions of fury: "Dong Min, you are no true Disciple! Such Prodigies, and you actually used the Heavenly Net Sword Array to harm them—what exactly are your intentions?"

"I now have every reason to suspect you are a spy who has infiltrated our Senluo Sword Sect, a traitor! Surrender immediately!"

Even Su Li was now looking coldly at Dong Min: "Dong Min, you have committed such a grave mistake. I'd like to see how you explain yourself to the Sect Leader!"

Dong Min was unable to defend himself, his face flushing red: "I… you have to believe me, I truly didn't pay attention. Otherwise, with such Geniuses, how could I bear to…"

"Silence!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man said sternly: "Once the Heavenly Net Sword Array is activated, it either must be forcibly broken by someone, or the people within the array must be trapped and killed—otherwise, it simply cannot be stopped. What do we do now? Give me a reasonable solution!"

"I…"

Dong Min opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Su Li could no longer hold back: "These two children cannot come to harm. Even if it means sacrificing these Disciples, it must be done. All of you, step aside. I will break the array!"

As she spoke, the phantom of a world behind her once again rose and surged.

The other Elders exchanged glances, unsure at this moment whether they should stop her or not.

Considering the Sect's interests, they naturally leaned toward saving Qin Qiming and Qin Qixian.

But those Disciples had also been nurtured by the Senluo Sword Sect for who knows how many years, with countless resources spent. Most importantly, among them were their own Disciples, with whom they shared deep bonds.

To ask them to abandon the Disciples they had cultivated for many years for the sake of two strangers was truly somewhat unbearable. If word got out, they would likely be accused of the Senluo Sword Sect being inhumane.

In such a situation, it was genuinely difficult to make a choice.

Just as everyone was unsure what to do, from afar, a sword cry shot into the sky, shaking the heavens.

At the same time, a series of phantoms traversed the distance, suddenly merging into one before the crowd. It was an old man with a ponytail and graying hair, wearing purple robes, his face lean and refined, with an extremely clear sword-shaped mark on his forehead.

This person was precisely the Sect Leader of the Senluo Sword Sect, named Luo Youzhen.

"From far away, I could hear you all arguing and making a racket here. Have you no sense of propriety left!"

Luo Youzhen's face carried anger, clearly in a bad mood: "And you few are also causing trouble here, even going so far as to activate the Heavenly Net Sword Array!"

The latter remark was naturally directed at Dong Min, Su Li, and the others.

Although his cultivation level had already surpassed the Eternal Realm, reaching a height unimaginable to many, due to limitations in his Aptitude, progressing further was incredibly difficult.

Although he often went into seclusion, he could hardly make even the slightest advancement.

This recent seclusion was the same—it was no wonder his mood was poor.

Upon seeing Luo Youzhen, Dong Min and the others immediately became as timid as mice seeing a cat, their expressions turning cautious.

This was someone who could match the Tower Master of the Desolate God Tower in strength; in fact, when the two had clashed in the past, Luo Youzhen had even held a slight advantage.

"Sect Leader, you've arrived just in time. I suspect this fellow Dong Min is a spy sent by another force. Please investigate clearly, Sect Leader!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man immediately cupped his hands and lodged a complaint.

Dong Min was furious: "Nonsense!"

Hearing this, Luo Youzhen's eyelids twitched. He swept a glance at Dong Min, then said, "Oh? What leads you to say that?"

The one-eyed middle-aged man pointed at Qin Qiming and Qin Qixian, who were charging left and right within the Heavenly Net Sword Array, his face filled with anger: "Sect Leader, you need only take one look at the two youths within the array to understand!"

Luo Youzhen was somewhat puzzled—what did Dong Min being a spy have to do with these two youths?

But then, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing an expression of utter shock.

"The Ancient Sacred Body!"

Having clearly seen the two's Aptitude, the sword mark on Luo Youzhen's forehead throbbed violently, and he nearly yanked out his own beard.

"That's right, it's the Ancient Sacred Body, and there are two of them!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man was filled with righteous indignation, his expression as if he wished to slice Dong Min into a thousand pieces: "This fellow Dong Min actually threw such Geniuses into the perilous Heavenly Net Sword Array, intending to strangle such Heaven-Defying children. With such sinister intentions, he simply cannot bear to see our Senluo Sword Sect prosper. If that's not a spy, then what is!"

The other Elders nodded one after another, deeply convinced: "Exactly, exactly!"
