327. Chapter 327: Yan Clan Traitor!

They were very clear about how great a threat it would pose to the Yan Clan if there were truly Soul Clan traitors within the clan.

"Does Young Master Gu Fei have any way to find those traitors?"

Huo Zhi asked eagerly. "No rush."

"Take me around the Yan Realm first."

Gu Fei looked quite relaxed. The scorching sunlight spilled onto the crimson earth. At this moment, the air here was permeated with a faint scent of sulfur.

In the distance, volcanoes stood tall, and magma erupted from the craters from time to time.

"Although the temperature in the Yan Realm is extremely high, there are quite a few resources here."

Huo Zhi pointed to a lush valley ahead and said.

At this moment, Huo Zhi was truly taking Gu Fei to tour the Yan Realm. Gu Fei nodded, his gaze sweeping across the valley.

One could see that the valley was filled with clusters of flowers, colorful and vibrant.

It seemed that quite a few medicinal herbs could also adapt to this environment of the Yan Realm. "Truly amazing."

Gu Fei said indifferently.

But in his heart, he had no mood to enjoy the scenery at all. He just wanted to feel the emotions of the Yan Clan members. Seeing that Gu Fei was interested in Hundred Flowers Valley, a look of joy appeared on Huo Zhi's pretty face.

"Young Master Gu Fei, since you are here, I will take you around some more."

The next moment, she gently pursed her lips, and a look of anticipation flickered in her beautiful eyes. Gu Fei smiled slightly and nodded. The two walked side by side, moving slowly along the mountain path.

On the way, they did indeed encounter quite a few Yan Clan members. When those members saw Huo Zhi and Gu Fei, looks of surprise appeared on their faces.

Everyone's gaze swept back and forth between the two. 【Ding, Yan Clan member... generated envy, Emotion Value +5】

【Ding, Yan Clan member... generated admiration, Emotion Value +3】

【Ding, Yan Clan member... generated jealousy, Emotion Value +2】

Gu Fei chuckled inwardly.

This was no wonder, as he was now a recognized prodigy among all clans.

Who on the continent now did not know the great name of Gu Fei? It was inevitable that there would be all kinds of complex emotions. Just at this moment, a middle-aged man was seen walking from afar. This person was dressed in a fiery red robe, with a resolute face and eyes like lightning, exuding a powerful aura.

"Miss Huo Zhi."

"This must be the recently famous Young Master Gu Fei, right?"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly to Huo Zhi, but his gaze landed on Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, this is an Elder of our clan."

Huo Zhi nodded and introduced them to each other.

"I have long heard of your great name."

"It is truly admirable that Young Master Gu Fei has achieved so much at such a young age."

The Elder cupped his hands slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Gu Fei smiled indifferently and did not care about this person's flattery.

He just looked at this person carefully. However, the Elder's expression was as calm as water, and there was not the slightest unusual emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

【Ding, generated curiosity, Emotion Value +1】

Gu Fei nodded inwardly; it seemed that this Elder had no problems.

After a few polite exchanges, the Elder took his leave. Huo Zhi continued to take Gu Fei to tour the wonders of the Yan Realm.

"Young Master Gu Fei, ahead is the place where I cultivate."

Huo Zhi pointed to a towering volcano in the distance and said, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

Gu Fei looked up and saw that the volcano was deep red all over, towering into the clouds. Magma constantly erupted from the top of the volcano, forming a huge fire cloud in mid-air, which was quite spectacular.

"Truly magnificent."

Gu Fei exclaimed sincerely.

A trace of joy flashed in Huo Zhi's beautiful eyes; she was clearly very pleased with Gu Fei's praise.

"If Young Master Gu Fei is interested, we can go inside the volcano to take a look." The next moment, Huo Zhi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said softly.

Gu Fei nodded, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes. The two flew through the air and soon arrived at the foot of the Divine Flame Volcano.

However, just as they were about to enter the interior of the volcano, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Stop! This mountain is a forbidden area of our clan; no unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!"

An old man with white hair and beard was seen walking out from inside the volcano, his gaze like lightning, staring fixedly at Gu Fei.

The old man exuded a powerful aura; he was clearly a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

"Elder, this is Young Master Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan. He is our clan's honored guest, and the Clan Leader specifically instructed us to treat him well."

Huo Zhi explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the Elder's expression softened slightly.

He looked Gu Fei up and down, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. "So it is Young Master Gu Fei, excuse my lack of manners. However, this mountain is a forbidden area of our clan, so I hope you will forgive me, Young Master."

Gu Fei smiled indifferently and did not mind.

【Ding, generated vigilance, Emotion Value +2】

Gu Fei nodded inwardly.

It seemed that this Elder's reaction was very normal, and there was nothing unusual. He was just being vigilant toward him. Gu Fei naturally had no interest in visiting any volcano. However, in the original story, the traitor took advantage of the time when the Yan Clan Leader was not in the Yan Realm to steal the Ancient Jade from the Yan Clan Ancestral Hall.

Therefore, Gu Fei guessed that this Yan Clan traitor was likely in a high position and did not show up at ordinary times.

Gu Fei planned to go to the Yan Clan Ancestral Hall to take a look.

Just at this moment, the figure of Huo Ling Xianzi suddenly appeared before everyone.

"Fine!"

With the Yan Clan Leader away, Huo Ling Xianzi had the highest authority in the clan, and she agreed. Gu Fei was surprised that Huo Ling Xianzi was so straightforward. The Ancestral Hall was the most important place in a clan, and outsiders could not enter it at all under normal circumstances.

"Thank you for the trust."

Gu Fei nodded slightly, "No need for formalities. The Clan Leader said that since you are on good terms with our clan and have come to investigate spies for us, you are naturally permitted to enter the Ancestral Hall."

Huo Ling Xianzi waved her hand and smiled.

Having said that, Huo Ling Xianzi turned to lead the way, and Gu Fei followed closely behind.

Soon, the two arrived before a towering palace. The palace was built entirely of crimson rock, exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes. Countless flame totems were carved all over the palace, appearing vivid and lifelike.

"This is our clan's Ancestral Hall."

"It is usually guarded by several highly respected Elders."

Huo Ling Xianzi said, pointing to the palace before them.

Gu Fei nodded, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings of the Ancestral Hall.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted slightly.

【Ding, Huo Xiong has generated a feeling of guilt, Emotion Value +2】

Gu Fei looked in the direction indicated by the system prompt and saw a burly old man standing at the entrance of the Ancestral Hall.

Seeing Gu Fei's gaze, the old man's expression changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"He is the Soul Clan spy!"

Gu Fei spoke suddenly, pointing his finger at the old man.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene instantly froze.

"Elder Huo Xiong, th-this... what is going on?"

Huo Ling Xianzi looked at Huo Xiong in disbelief.

At this moment, Huo Xiong's face turned deathly pale, and fine beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Huo Ling Xianzi, there is a misunderstanding regarding this matter... I... how could I possibly be a Soul Clan spy?"

The next moment, this fellow feigned composure and spoke.

However, his trembling voice betrayed him. (End of chapter)
