"Third Master, ..."
The female disciple looked at Long Chen in shock.
"Don't be nervous, and don't try to use pre-prepared excuses to deal with me. In this world, there are probably people who can lie in front of me, Long San, but definitely not someone of your level." Long Chen looked at the woman, his eyes calm and unwavering, without any pressure on her.
But the woman grew increasingly nervous. Unconsciously, sweat began to form on her forehead. Mu Qingyun also stared at her in shock.
It should be noted that this woman was the most outstanding among the people she had recruited this time, and she was also a powerful wood cultivator, gifted and skilled in healing techniques. Yet, unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a spy.
"Third Master, I ...," the woman opened her mouth, but found herself unable to say a word.
Looking at Long Chen, it was as if she were looking into a mirror. The explanation she had prepared in advance could fool anyone, but she couldn't fool herself. Just as Long Chen said, she couldn't lie.
In that instant, she was even more terrified. Long Chen's name had already spread throughout the inner sect. During the Divine Dao Struggle, Long Chen had slain several experts without blinking—a true ruthless man. Now, facing Long Chen, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and the others also stared at the woman in shock. What shocked them was how Long Chen knew she was an undercover agent.
In fact, when Long Chen swept his gaze over everyone, only this woman's soul fluctuated most violently, but her expression remained very calm. This was completely unreasonable and immediately gave away the truth.
Most importantly, Long Chen had spent a long time with Chu Yao and was very familiar with the unique soul fluctuations of wood-element experts, so he immediately noticed the problem.
"It's okay, just say it. I won't make things difficult for you." Long Chen looked at the woman and smiled slightly.
"Yes... ... Chu Yang—the woman's voice trembled, as if she had used all her strength to say that name.
This time, Luo Bing and the others weren't surprised. The only one who could plant a spy in the Xiaoyao Alliance was probably Chu Yang, but they hadn't expected Chu Yang to start acting so early.
"Thud"
The woman's face turned pale, and she suddenly knelt down, but Long Chen pulled her up:
"I won't punish you just because you're part of Chuyang. After all, you haven't caused us any loss."
If you really want to stay in the Xiaoyao Alliance, we can take you in. You don't need to worry about Chu Yang.
But if you have any relatives' lives in Chu Yang's hands, then I have no choice. "
You... Can you still trust me? The woman looked at Long Chen, her voice trembling with disbelief as she asked.
"I told you, no one can lie in front of me. If you're willing to stay here, with your talent and aptitude, we're absolutely welcome.
As for your relationship with Chu Yang, that was before. If you joined the Xiaoyao Alliance, you'd be part of it from now on. I believe in you. Long Chen smiled faintly.
"I am willing, I am willing. I swear with my soul to join the Xiaoyao Alliance. I, Mu Xin, will always ...," the woman said excitedly.
Long Chen reached out to stop her vow: "There's no need for such ceremony. Since I dared to let you in, I'm not afraid you'll betray me. Because once you join the Xiaoyao Alliance, you'll soon realize this is the wisest choice of your life. Alright, Let's not talk about this for now. You should return to the team first. After
Long Chen had the woman return to the team, he gave a simple welcome ceremony to the newly joined disciples, offering a symbolic encouragement.
It must be said, the new disciples recruited by the Xiaoyao Alliance and Luomen this time were indeed quite talented and had great potential, but Long Chen noticed a few pairs of slightly provocative eyes among the crowd.
These are troublemakers who are quite arrogant, but being a troublemaker isn't a bad thing. Those who can be troublemakers must have some skills; otherwise, their thorns would have been broken long ago.
The welcome ceremony ends, meaning the sweet dates are finished, and next it's time to beat the stick.
"I know that among you newcomers, there are a few who are quite capable, and of course, you have quite a temper.
But in front of me, you'd better restrain yourself, because honestly, your abilities are nothing compared to me.
You joining our alliance now can only mean you're lucky. Because of the Immortal Alliance's personnel limit, the recruitment of strong fighters will become stricter in the future. Maybe in a month, you won't be eligible to join.
So, you must cherish this opportunity. Don't just think 'if I don't keep you here, I'll keep you.' If you upset Third Master and kick you out of the guild, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
On the path of cultivation, resources and talent are important, but sometimes, luck is even more important. Cherish it as you go—let's set off! After
Long Chen finished speaking, he led the disciples of both alliances straight to the teleportation array. After several attempts, they finally arrived at the Demon Battlefield.
After entering the battlefield, Long Chen led the group deeper into the battlefield. Along the way, Long Chen briefly asked Mu Xin about it.
It turned out that Mu Xin's family had connections with the Chu family, so she joined the Chu Alliance. But after joining, she found that she simply couldn't get along with the people there.
What she found most unbearable was that the people inside treated women as playthings. Because she wasn't strong in combat, she was constantly bullied.
But for the sake of her family, she could only endure. Just last month, her biological mother was murdered within the family. She was her only relative, and she was filled with hatred toward her own family.
The family was beyond her reach, and in the Chu Alliance, she had to endure constant humiliation. Fortunately, her looks were average, so few people were interested in her; otherwise, she would have long become someone else's plaything.
This time, Chu Yang sent her as an undercover agent, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and come. She hadn't expected Long Chen to see through her at a glance. However, Long Chen was willing to take her in, making her feel she could finally escape her misery. As long as she could leave the Chu Alliance, she was willing to do anything. So, she was full of gratitude toward Long Chen.
"Chu Yang's subordinates, does he have a very skilled archer?" Long Chen asked casually.
"Yes, his nickname is Eagle Eye. He is not a pure human; he has the bloodline of the Skyhawk clan and inherited part of their talents.
In archery, he possesses terrifying perception and can easily shoot anyone stronger than himself. Assassination attempts above his level are very easy for him. It is said he has never failed in his killing attempts and is a truly terrifying killer. Mu Xin nodded.
Seeing Long Chen ask about that person, Mu Qingyun asked in confusion, "Third Brother, how do you know this person?" "
That guy tried to ambush me and almost made me suffer a big loss. By the time I tried to kill him, he had already vanished without a trace. That time almost made me cough up blood from anger." Long Chen said somewhat frustrated.
"What?" He actually made a move against you? "
Mu Xin was shocked. She knew very well how terrifying Hawkeye was. The so-called "Eagle Eye" had never missed, yet it actually failed.
Even Luo Bing and the others were very surprised, because none of their intelligence contained information about Eagle Eye.
"This guy's archery is indeed impressive. By the way, besides him, is there any other formidable expert around Chu Yang?" Long Chen asked.
"There's also someone named Shadow, rumored to be an assassin from the Bloodkill Hall."Mu Xin said.
"Blood Kill Hall?"
Long Chen's heart shook violently.
