The Second Honored Guest Elder fled, and Ye Yu joined the group attacking Thorny Porcupine Douluo. Half an hour later, Thorny Porcupine Douluo was killed.
Yang Wudi hated the Martial Soul Hall the most. In this battle, Martial Soul Hall lost two Titled Douluo directly, a significant loss, so he was very pleased.
Yang Wudi praised, "Ye Yu, your chain of schemes is truly powerful!"
Flande was curious, "But, who exactly is the mole?"
The Master and others wanted to know. Ye Yu could always know the Martial Soul Hall's plans in advance, which meant that there was a mole.
Ye Yu shook his head, "Actually, there is no mole."
Flande was stunned, "No mole? Then how can you always know in advance?"
Ye Yu smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you later. Roasting goat, you're very knowledgeable about poisons, and you're not much worse than Xiao San in some aspects. Go check on Xue Ye's condition."
"Alright."
...
Shortly after, Qian Daoliu and Qianren Xue returned to the Martial Soul Hall.
Qianren Xue went to heal, while Qian Daoliu went to the Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong, who was in seclusion, sensed Qian Daoliu's presence and exited her retreat.
Bibi Dong asked, "Great Tributor Honored Guest Elder, is there something?"
Qian Daoliu recounted what had happened. Bibi Dong's face darkened. The coup attempt had also failed, once again due to Ye Yu.
Qian Daoliu frowned, "There's one more thing. Perhaps, I already know who the mole is."
"Who?" Bibi Dong's face turned cold.
"The Second Honored Guest Elder."
Qian Daoliu's words left Bibi Dong in astonishment. She had considered others but never suspected the Second Honored Guest Elder.
"How could it be?"
Bibi Dong was extremely surprised.
"When I distanced myself, I sensed the Second Honored Guest Elder attacking the Snake Spear. Afterwards, the Snake Spear's presence disappeared, indicating he was dead."
Bibi Dong's face was somber. She had assigned the Second Honored Guest Elder to deal with Ye Yu, but he ended up ambushing the Snake Spear.
"When I approached, I could detect the Second Honored Guest Elder hiding. At that time, he didn't attack Ye Yu immediately. When Xue'Er's aura weakened and was completely suppressed by Ye Yu, the Second Honored Guest Elder stealthily closed in on the Snake Spear and then launched a fatal attack."
Qian Daoliu's words made Bibi Dong grit her teeth in rage, trembling with anger.
"It turned out to be him, damn it! I really didn't expect that!"
"I should check on Xue'Er now."
Qian Daoliu left. Bibi Dong was filled with endless resentment. The person she wanted to kill the most now was not Ye Yu but the Second Honored Guest Elder. Because of the mole, numerous significant operations had repeatedly failed. Every action was crucially linked to Martial Soul Hall's future. Failing was one thing, but they had also lost five Titled Douluo in a row!
Counting herself and Qian Daoliu, Martial Soul Hall only had nine Titled Douluo left.
No, to be precise, it's eight because the Second Honored Guest Elder is the mole!
At this moment, the Second Honored Guest Elder staggered towards Martial Soul City. The fact that he was the mole had already spread. As soon as he reached the city gates, he was immediately stopped by the Martial Soul Hall Soul Masters.
Blocking him were four Soul Kings. Though angry, they hesitated and retreated cautiously, as they faced a Level 96 Titled Douluo.
"Get out of the way! Don't block my path!"
The Second Honored Guest Elder was very frustrated and angry. Seeing people blocking the city gate, he directly cursed aloud.
However, just as the Second Honored Guest Elder was about to rush in, a powerful suppressing force suddenly descended. The pressure was so immense and terrifying that it instantly made the Level 96 Second Honored Guest Elder feel his body sink heavily. The injured elder was pressed to the point of vomiting blood.
The Second Honored Guest Elder was horrified, looking to the sky as Bibi Dong descended mightily.
The Second Honored Guest Elder congratulated, "Pope, your power has advanced further."
He was Level 96, and the fact that he was affected by Bibi Dong's pressure indicated that her power was now far above his own.
Currently, Bibi Dong's power was indeed extremely formidable. With her Twin Martial Souls, when going all out, she was not inferior to Qian Daoliu.
"You're still smiling!"
Bibi Dong waved a large sleeve, and the Second Honored Guest Elder was instantly swept away by a terrifying force, crashing down into the ground a hundred meters away.
The Second Honored Guest Elder clutched his chest, grimacing in pain, bewildered: "Pope, why are you hitting me?"
"Why? You're still pretending? Do you think we don't know? How dare you come back! I told you to kill Ye Yu, and you didn't attack him but killed the Snake Spear instead! You're asking for death!"
Bibi Dong was beside herself with anger. One by one, the Soul Rings descended above her head, each larger than the last. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
Nine Soul Rings descended, swirling around Bibi Dong.
Seeing that Bibi Dong was about to deal a killing blow, the Second Honored Guest Elder hurriedly said, "I'm not the mole! Pope, listen to my explanation! We were deceived by Ye Yu!"
Bibi Dong's footsteps paused, her brows furrowing: "You're not?"
"Pope, here's what happened."
The Second Honored Guest Elder recounted the recent events. Bibi Dong's expression kept changing.
He had planned to ambush Ye Yu while hidden, but Ye Yu had revealed who the mole was, making him so furious that he intended to kill the mole first, only to realize it was a trap.
"You're not the mole, so who is?"
Though the Second Honored Guest Elder said so, who knew he wasn't saying this to continue hiding and remain in the Martial Soul Hall deliberately. Though it didn't sound entirely unreasonable, there were many doubts.
"He just said who the mole was and you believed him? Then went to kill the Snake Spear?"
The Second Honored Guest Elder said bitterly, "I also didn't know Ye Yu actually knew I was hidden in the dark and deliberately said it aloud for me to hear. Pope, I'm not the mole. If I were, I wouldn't possibly return."
"Can't return? What if you're planning to continue being the mole?"
Seeing Bibi Dong was still somewhat doubtful, the Second Honored Guest Elder was on the verge of tears, hating Ye Yu even more.
"I really am not. By the time I realized it was a trap, it was already too late. I wanted to join forces with Thorny Porcupine, but he didn't believe me. I fought Ye Yu with full strength, and the distant Great Tributor Honored Guest Elder should have sensed it. I really am not."
However, Bibi Dong was no longer easily convinced. Who knew if this was an act.
Still, Bibi Dong, half-believing, did not deal a killing blow and said coldly, "Until the real mole is found, you will always be under suspicion. From now on, you are not to leave the Martial Soul Hall at all!"
Seeing Bibi Dong still doubtful, the Second Honored Guest Elder felt more wronged and unable to defend himself. He could only nod since his life was spared.
The Second Honored Guest Elder secretly vowed in his heart, "I must find the mole quickly to clear my suspicion!"
Unable to take action, he could only stay in the Martial Soul Hall. He planned to watch over every high-level member of the Martial Soul Hall except for Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu to find the real mole and clear his suspicion.
However, as long as Ye Yu didn't reveal the truth, he could never clear his name, destined always to be tragically suspected, because there was no mole at all.
Not only did the people of Martial Soul Hall, but everyone including the Master also believed Martial Soul Hall had a mole planted by Ye Yu since every time they could know in advance. But they would never think the way Ye Yu knew in advance was because he knew the storyline.
Ye Yu felt that his hobby of reading novels was quite good after all, so much so that he really crossed over, which, therefore, helped his actions in this world.
