Chaos Sword Body Technique: The Sword God is invincible!-Chapter 778: Make a Move!

"This Ying Yuan," he grumbled, "is indeed problematic!"

"Thank goodness this old man kept a trick up his sleeve, otherwise I’d have fallen into the trap already!"

At this moment, the Great Elder Ying Wanjun’s face was extremely gloomy. It was precisely because of his cautiousness that he had sent a sacrificial pawn to meet Ying Yuan in his stead. Little did he expect that something would indeed go awry!

These people had actually set a trap to scheme against him!

"If Ying Yuan has a problem, then that youngster Kong Linyun is likely problematic as well!"

Ying Wanjun’s expression grew colder as he turned to Long Ying beside him, "You’ve been deceived by that boy!"

"What?"

Long Ying’s pretty face changed color, believing she had flawlessly extracted information from Kong Linyun, only to realize, she had been tricked by the boy!

So, are they saying that the boy was never poisoned to begin with, and that his appearance was all an act?

"Damn it! I will grind this child’s bones to dust!"

Long Ying was filled with shame and anger; she never imagined she would be played for a fool by Kong Linyun!

"We’re running out of time."

Ying Wanjun narrowed his eyes, "I estimate they have already become suspicious of you and are likely to make a move soon!"

"We can’t give them that chance. I must strike first!" Ying Wanjun said decisively.

Upon hearing this, a hint of alarm flashed in Long Ying’s eyes, "Great Elder, what do you mean by that?"

"Obviously, it’s to take action ahead of them!"

A cold expression surfaced on Ying Wanjun’s face, "I’ve been preparing for this for so long; naturally, I cannot let all efforts go to waste now. The general situation is already set, even if it’s exposed, it won’t affect the overall plan!"

The infiltration of the Yinglong Clan by the Pi Jue Corpse Clan has been long-standing. Now, the Yinglong Clan was almost entirely under his control, even if they detected his subterfuge now, those people would not be able to foil his plan!

"Spread my command, put the entire clan on martial law!"

"Announce that spies from the Outer Realm Evil Clan have been discovered within the clan, specifically Ying Yuan and his associates. Anyone of our peoples who kills them will have performed a meritorious act!" Ying Wanjun ordered in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Long Ying was momentarily stunned, then a cunning smile crept onto her face. Experience indeed triumphs over youth; this move of accusing others to deflect blame was profoundly shrewd!

After all, the Great Elder held the power of discourse within the Yinglong Clan now. Whomever the Great Elder labeled as a spy would be considered as such!

...

News of Ying Yuan being a spy of the Outer Realm Evil Clan spread like wildfire on Dragon Island, causing a huge uproar in an instant!

Ying Yuan, a leading Quasi-Saint and a notable figure within the Yinglong Clan, was accused of colluding with the Outer Realm Evil Clan!

And since the news came from the Great Elder, how could it be false?

Before long, the island’s powerful figures quickly mobilized to capture Ying Yuan, the alleged spy of the Evil Clan!

"I didn’t expect this old scoundrel to be so shameless, to directly accuse others and tear off all pretenses!" said Ying Xiaotian, his face looking particularly ugly at this moment. They hadn’t even had the chance to capture Long Ying yet, but instead, Ying Wanjun had outmaneuvered them and forced them into an extremely disadvantageous position!

"The Great Elder, could he really be compromised?" the Third Elder asked, her face revealing some discomfort. The last thing she wanted to see was now unfolding; the Great Elder had held real power in the Yinglong Clan for years. If he was colluding with the Pi Jue Corpse Clan, the Yinglong Clan could be in big trouble!

"The Great Elder already holds such a high status, one who ranks under only one but above ten thousand within our Yinglong Clan. Why would he collude with the Outer Realm Evil Clan?"

"It’s truly baffling!" said one of the elders, unable to comprehend.

What could Ying Wanjun be after by doing this?

Such a high position, and yet he was willing to stoop to being a lapdog for the Evil Clan, bearing the curses of ages to come. Could anyone be so disgraceful?

"Perhaps, he isn’t the Great Elder of your Yinglong Clan," Lin Yi shook his head, "or to put it more accurately, not the Great Elder you know."

"What do you mean?" the Third Elder narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Is it possible that the Great Elder Ying Wanjun has been replaced?" frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

A sharp gleam appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes as he explained, "The current Ying Wanjun is someone from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan."

"Could this explain his actions?"

Planting spies is something the Outer Realm Evil Clan excels at. The Undying Blood Clan had once entrenched spies throughout the Eastern Domain. When the Undying Blood Clan stirred unrest in the Eastern Domain, it hardly took any effort to inflict severe damage on the various Human Clan powers in the domain.

The Family Head of the Wan Family, Wan Luo, turned out to be a plant by the Undying Blood Clan, using a secret technique to swap places within the Wan Family, replacing the true Wan Luo without anyone in the Eastern Domain being aware.

Now, as the actual controller of the Yinglong Clan and someone colluding with the Outer Realm Evil Clan, Lin Yi saw only this possibility.

"Are you saying that the Great Elder has been swapped out?"

"How is that possible?"

Disbelief appeared on Ying Xiaotian’s face, "The Great Elder is a Half-step Saint King; how can someone of his strength be assassinated in secret?"

Would someone targeting a Half-step Saint King be a Saint King himself?

"Nothing is impossible," the Third Elder shook her head, "Our Yinglong Clan is a prime target for the Outer Realm Evil Clan. The Great Elder has been fighting abroad for years, facing the giants of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. Perhaps he was taken by surprise at some point."

She understood Ying Wanjun well; it was impossible he would betray the Yinglong Clan. If he acted like this, then he surely wasn’t the Ying Wanjun they knew.

"Ying Wanjun has already begun to stir. He now holds great power, and the only one within our clan who could reprimand him is probably only the Yinglong Clan Emperor!" said Lin Yi, his gaze landing on the Third Elder and frowning. "Has the Yinglong Clan Emperor not yet come out of seclusion?"

In this move by Ying Wanjun, it was unlikely he was only mobilizing the forces within the Yinglong Clan, but quite likely coordinating with the Pi Jue Corpse Clan both inside and out!

If so, this would be a battle for the survival of the Yinglong Clan!

Such a situation, they would not be able to handle!

The Third Elder shook her head and said, "I have sent him many messages, but there has been no response so far."

Everyone’s expressions grew grim upon hearing this. The Yinglong Clan was undergoing upheaval—a likely imminent chaos. The Yinglong Clan Emperor was their stabilizer, and at this moment, he was still in seclusion?

"Could it be, even the Yinglong Clan Emperor has fallen victim to an ambush?"

Lin Yi’s gaze darkened; even if in seclusion, it was impossible for the emperor to ignore such a crucial matter—the only possibility was that the Yinglong Clan Emperor had also been ambushed!

Lin Yi’s words served as a sudden reminder to Ying Xiaotian and the Third Elder. If even the Great Elder Ying Wanjun had been replaced by the Outer Realm Evil Clan without notice, then the Yinglong Clan Emperor would likely not be an exception!

Receiving so many messages from the Third Elder with no response likely meant something had indeed happened!
