Chapter 474: The Tianlan Upheaval (Part 1)

Xiao Han looked knowingly at the forces attached to each name on the list; the terrifying scope, covering almost every top-tier force on the Tianlan Continent, made even Xiao Han feel it was tricky.

"The Outer Realm Evil Clan has already infiltrated to this extent?"

Hearing these undisguised, astonished words, Liu Qingyang gave a bitter smile.

"If not for this, how would this junior allow them to remain at large?"

Even if Tianlan Hall looks down upon the masses, it does not mean it can withstand the backlash of the entire Tianlan Continent.

"How did you discover the identities of these people?"

"Why not contact other forces to take action together?"

Xiao Han keenly sensed the crux of the matter.

Everyone in the know is deeply aware of the terror of the Outer Realm Evil Clan; whether it is their polluting nature, their aggressiveness, or their formidable strength, no individual force can deal with them alone.

If they were to know that spies of the Outer Realm Evil Clan had mixed into their own sects, how could they not investigate and reflect?

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyang gave a bitter smile.

"Does Senior think that with Tianlan Hall's current reputation, anyone would actually believe it?"

Xiao Han understood immediately; after years of constant vilification, Tianlan Hall had long since formed a stereotype in the hearts of everyone on the Tianlan Continent as being powerful, mysterious, and leaning toward the chaotic side.

No matter how such an existence explains it, other forces—already on high alert—would only think the former is spouting nonsense, and the so-called evidence would mostly be treated as a tactic to sow discord, a load of rubbish.

Even if Tianlan Hall could provide proof, to others, it would only be "so-called evidence."

Just like in the Central Plains of the Dou Qi Continent before the Soul Clan was wiped out, no force with any bit of strength would ever believe that the former Soul Hall would kindly help them catch traitors.

"Your thoughts."

As an outsider who had just arrived, Xiao Han naturally would not be so arrogant as to think his understanding of the Tianlan Continent could surpass that of a local like Liu Qingyang.

"What is Senior's attainment in Formations?"

Without much hesitation, after only a brief moment of thought, Liu Qingyang spoke.

Xiao Han naturally understood that the Formations of the Tianlan Continent were equivalent to the Spirit Arrays of the Da Qian World, and he revealed an interested expression.

"My attainment in Formations is roughly a bit stronger than your Ten Directions Realm; how about it, is it acceptable?"

The Ten Directions Realm is equivalent to the Upper Earth Sovereign and Great Perfection Earth Sovereign of the Da Qian World; Xiao Han's statement could be said to be extremely humble.

Liu Qingyang could not help but show joy.

"If that is the case, then this matter will be much easier to handle."

As he spoke, Liu Qingyang took out a Scroll and handed it to Xiao Han.

"This is an identification Formation; it can draw out that power hidden within the bodies of those spies."

"The only flaw is..."

Liu Qingyang said awkwardly,

"It requires the strength of the Ten Directions Realm to be able to set it up."

"Wait." Xiao Han suddenly called a halt, frowning as he said,

"The origin of this Formation is..."

Xiao Han remembered clearly that after the continent was sealed, the path forward for the Tianlan Continent was cut off, and it was absolutely impossible to reach the Ten Directions Realm; this Formation with its unique function was clearly a product of this period.

So...

"This Formation was deduced by this junior."

Regarding this, Liu Qingyang was neither humble nor pushy, his words revealing strong self-confidence.

"Its predecessor was a Nine Palaces Realm Formation I created myself, which could detect the Saint... no, the Outer Realm Evil Clan that had infiltrated."

Xiao Han did not speak; he unfolded the Scroll with a scrutinizing gaze.

After a long while, the former raised his head, looked at this junior who was older than himself with a complex expression, and raised the Scroll in his hand.

"Do you know what this Formation signifies?"

"What?"

Liu Qingyang revealed a confused expression, completely at a loss.

At this moment, Xiao Han seemed to see a rising Saint Grade star.

The infiltration of the Outer Realm Evil Clan into the Da Qian World has never stopped; in the vast Da Qian World, there is naturally no shortage of those willing to lead the way.

Searching for traitors has always been a difficult problem for the Da Qian World; after all, before they strike, they are no different from the living beings of the Da Qian World.

And the control methods the Outer Realm Evil Clan uses on these existences are extremely secretive; ordinary methods cannot verify them.

There are only a few Holy Grade Spirit Arrays in the entire Da Qian World, like the one at Sheng Yuan Cheng.

A Saint Grade Spirit Array Grandmaster is a gift from the world, while Spirit Array Grandmasters are like the stars in the sky compared to the former; although they haven't reached the point of being picked up everywhere, their numbers are still terrifying.

One can imagine what kind of strategic significance this Formation of Liu Qingyang's—which Xiao Han considered to have extremely high feasibility—possesses.

"After resolving the Outer Realm Evil Clan on the Tianlan Continent, are you interested in joining my force?"

"Or I could recommend you to the Da Qian Palace."

"With this Formation..." Xiao Han raised the Scroll in his hand and smiled:

"The peak forces of the entire Da Qian World will open their doors to you."

Had he already hitched a ride?

The sudden influx of information left Liu Qingyang somewhat dazed; as smart as he was, he naturally felt the importance of his masterpiece from Xiao Han's words.

"This..."

"Please allow this junior some time to think."

It was not that he was preparing to reject Xiao Han's proposal; Liu Qingyang had always been a lone wolf, and creating Tianlan Hall was only to resist the invaders.

Xiao Han's arrival heralded the dawn of the Tianlan Continent, and the significance of Tianlan Hall's existence no longer remained.

And Liu Qingyang knew well the excellence of the Disciples and Elders of Tianlan Hall; he did not worry about their future.

With no ties to hold him back, his sole goal was to pursue the peak, and heading to the Da Qian World was undoubtedly the best choice.

Joining a top-tier force would allow him to enter the fast lane for becoming a powerhouse.

However, the choice of force had to be made with the utmost caution; all of Liu Qingyang's information regarding the Da Qian World stemmed from Xiao Han, and the mindset he had developed while growing up made him keep his guard up at all times when facing any matter.

Knowing full well that his mind was not clear at this moment, Liu Qingyang did not want to regret his choices later, so he decisively adopted a "delaying" tactic.

"No problem."

Although Xiao Han had the intention of recruiting Liu Qingyang, he would not force it too much; he stopped speaking further and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Besides this Formation, what else do you need me to do?"

Liu Qingyang revealed a smile, cupped his hands, and said:

"Then would you mind, Senior, raising your hand to clear away all the powerhouses of the Outer Realm Evil Clan?"

"Only clear away the powerhouses?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then revealed a knowing smile.

"Your idea is not bad, but aren't you afraid of becoming notorious throughout the Tianlan Continent?"

Xiao Han naturally understood Liu Qingyang's plan: to use Xiao Han's hand to completely erase the gap between the Outer Realm Evil Clan and the Tianlan Continent.

To use the blood of the Outer Realm Evil Clan to awaken the bravery and unyielding spirit existing in the bloodlines of the living beings of Tianlan, and to save their own homeland with their own hands, rather than acting as pathetic spectators during this process.

However, this method also meant countless sacrifices; at that time, Liu Qingyang, who proposed this method, would inevitably receive malice and hostility from the living beings of the Tianlan Continent.

"If the current Tianlan Continent has already fallen to the point where even a counterattack requires relying on outsiders, then it is not qualified to welcome the dawn of the morning."

Liu Qingyang's tone was calm, as if he did not care about the opinions of the world.

"Good, I grant it."

Xiao Han's smile was stern; if one does not have the determination to tear through the dark night, how can one enjoy the gift of bathing in the morning light?

"Within three days, you will receive this good news."

"Many thanks, Senior."
