Chapter 2592: Quick Thinking in Crisis

After Ye Liuyun left, Luan Feng'an turned the beast meat Ye Liuyun had left into jerky for easy storage, and also went nearby to dig some wild vegetables for food.

Luan Ping, meanwhile, had been wholeheartedly practicing his sword.

When Ye Liuyun left, he deliberately did not instruct Luan Ping, just to see if he could persevere on his own.

He wasn't just idling around; he got down to serious business.

The tribe's base here was like a big city, with no restrictions on coming and going.

Because it has now been unified, everyone is of the Zhou Tribe, so there's no need to guard against attacks anymore.

So Ye Liuyun easily mixed in.

He first bought a lot of food seeds, then strolled around the tribe to get familiar with the environment.

At the same time, he used his Divine Sense to probe everywhere, finally locking onto a Martial Cultivator of the Zhuanzai Jingjie realm, whose body also clearly emanated an evil aura.

However, this Martial Cultivator's family power seemed quite extensive; he dwelled deep within it, well hidden, and rarely showed himself.

After inquiring, Ye Liuyun also learned that this Martial Cultivator had previously been an Elder of the Jin Tribe, named Meng Wei; later he led many people to surrender to the Zhou Tribe, and it was said that Meng Wei even participated in killing the Jin Tribe's Elder.

Thus, both Zhou Tribe and Jin Tribe people looked down on him.

Ye Liuyun put on the Invisibility Cloak, but before he could enter the courtyard, his Golden Pupil, through walls and ground, discovered that besides the Elder, several experts were hidden nearby.

These experts were hidden in rooms or underground passages protected by formations that prevented detection.

"Huh?"

"Could they know I'm coming?"

Ye Liuyun also began to suspect.

He stopped his steps, preparing to observe further.

Suddenly he felt two spatial fluctuations rushing toward that Elder.

"Another two Zhuanzai Jingjie powerhouses!"

Ye Liuyun immediately sensed that the two who had just appeared should be Martial Cultivators of the Zhuanzai Jingjie realm.

Sure enough, as soon as the two appeared, they directly bombarded the room where that Elder was.

However, the Martial Cultivators lying in ambush nearby immediately jumped out to block their attacks.

The disturbance here immediately drew nearby Martial Cultivators flocking over to watch the spectacle.

Ye Liuyun also stopped in place, watching calmly.

The two Martial Cultivators who came to assassinate Meng Wei, as if they knew there was an ambush, took out shields to defend while shouting to the surrounding Martial Cultivators: "Meng Wei has been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe, become a traitor of the Foreign Tribe, and betrayed everyone!"

"Meng Wei, you lackey of the Foreign Tribe, dare you step out so everyone can see?"

Another also shouted along.

The strong ones surrounding them also launched fierce attacks, but their defenses were obviously well prepared, and for a moment they were not broken through.

Meanwhile, the Martial Cultivators nearby watching the spectacle, who already looked down on Meng Wei, upon hearing the two's shout, also joined in the clamor.

"Meng Wei, come out and confirm!"

Due to the heightened emotions, many Martial Cultivators had already climbed onto the walls of Meng Wei's compound, shouting for him to come out and confirm, and even some called for a halt to the attacks by his guards.

Just as everyone was clamoring, a squad of tribe guards also rushed over.

Ye Liuyun swept his Golden Pupil over them and discovered that many of these guards were Martial Cultivators whose aura had been tainted by the Foreign Tribe.

When this guard squad arrived, they also dared not directly attack the two assassins, merely surrounding them.

The guard captain loudly advised the surrounding Martial Cultivators: "Meng Wei rendered great service in unifying the tribe; these two are rebels of the Jin Tribe, don't fall for their trick!"

As soon as he spoke, some Martial Cultivators fell silent.

"Even if we are rebels, we haven't lied."

"If Meng Wei is innocent, why doesn't he dare to step out?"

The two also immediately retorted.

One of them also said: "According to tribal regulations, if you think we have wronged Meng Wei, you can let him be verified on the spot."

"If he hasn't been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe, we will abandon resistance and accept punishment directly!"

"But if you are sheltering a Foreign Tribe traitor, then you are accomplices!"

They spoke with righteous confidence, and the guard captain also felt guilty.

Many in their guard squad had already been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe; once they started fighting, they would also expose themselves.

But what these two said was also correct; the tribe indeed has such a regulation.

But he also could not let Meng Wei come out.

Meng Wei and others were the objects the Zhou Tribe Elders demanded be heavily protected; he also clearly knew Meng Wei was just like them, contaminated by the Foreign Tribe, and once Meng Wei came out, it would easily expose him.

And once Meng Wei exposed himself before the crowd, they would likely have to follow public opinion and act against Meng Wei.

Just as the guard captain hesitated, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Meng Wei doesn't dare to come out, which already shows he is a traitor."

"Perhaps many in this guard squad have also been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe, which is why they dare not let Meng Wei come out."

This voice was loud, carried far, and attracted more Martial Cultivators over to join the fun.

Moreover, it hit right at the weak point of those guard squads.

"Good! Since Meng Wei doesn't dare to come out, let's go in and drag him out!"

The surrounding onlooking crowd immediately echoed in agreement.

"Who?"

"Who dares to insult our guard squad?"

The captain immediately shouted sternly.

But he could not find the source of that voice just now.

That sentence just now was spoken by Ye Liuyun.

He then continued saying: "If the captain doesn't drag Mengwei out, then let him reveal his own aura so everyone can see!"

He was using Spatial Power, speaking while moving, so the guard unit could not pin down Ye Liuyun's position.

Ye Liuyun, thinking quickly under pressure, came up with this move, also putting the captain of the guard among the suspects.

For a moment, many Martial Cultivators also began to size up that captain of the guard.

The captain's heart jumped, but he still feigned calm and shouted: "Bold, how dare you doubt our guard unit!"

"If you have the ability, come out; don't secretly frame people!"

"At his command, the guards began searching everywhere for Ye Liuyun's trail."

"Haha, Captain, are you really sure you want me to come out?"

"Do you and your guards still dare to act openly in front of everyone?"

"Counting you, there are twenty-one guards in total, but eight of them have been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe."

"Are you sure you dare to act openly?"

"I think you're just like Mengwei—you don't dare to act."

Ye Liuyun continued to reveal the truth, causing the captain's face to darken; unexpectedly, even he himself became implicated.

What Ye Liuyun said was correct; even if Ye Liuyun appeared, he could only let the guards uncontaminated by the Foreign Tribe take action.

He himself does not dare to act.

The onlookers became even more wary, all sizing up those guards.

Ye Liuyun even revealed the exact number, forcing these people to become more suspicious.

"Captain, Mengwei doesn't dare to come out, but you're already here—you won't refuse to prove your innocence, will you?"

"Immediately someone suggested having the captain display his aura."
