Chapter 207 - 192: Traitor

Seeing Lin Fang and the Divine Exorcist Great Sage clashing, how could he not know that he was able to return alive only because the opponent had deliberately done so to find out the whereabouts of the Great Saint?

Otherwise, with such a strange ability, he wouldn’t even know when he could die.

"Great Saint, he already knows about this place; is that okay?" the Flying Saint asked with some concern.

The Divine Exorcist Great Sage gave a slight smile and said, "It’s all right. If I can’t handle him, he likewise can’t defeat me. Besides, we don’t have a feud of life and death; just avoid provoking him."

Upon hearing this, the Flying Sky Great King finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having an enemy like Lin Fang was a great pressure for him.

"However, you probably can’t go back to your mountain anymore. Go east and find someone for me," the Divine Exorcist Great Sage said softly.

"I will follow the Great Saint’s orders."

Only then did the Divine Exorcist Great Sage slowly say, "Go there and find a monster called the Nine-headed Insect. Tell him I sent you to seek him out for an important matter to discuss."

The Flying Sky Great King took the command and left, his huge bat wings sweeping across the sky, quickly disappearing into the forest.

The Divine Exorcist Great Saint watched his receding figure, a smile of unclear meaning forming at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, at Bailu Academy, Lin Fang was carefully observing the scenes transmitted by the paper figures, slightly frowning.

This Divine Exorcist Great Saint’s methods were indeed unusual. Few amongst the monsters were proficient in the Divine Way, yet not only was he skilled in it, but he also seemed to have mastered the Art of Spirit Sealing and thus attained the power of "Word Becomes Law."

"Truly, as one reputed to be a Great Saint, he is not at all straightforward."

However, Lin Fang guessed that the methods of this Divine Exorcist Great Saint might be related to the divine seal he had acquired. With this thought, he leaped up, raising clouds and mist as he flew directly to the mountain previously claimed by the Flying Sky Great King.

Primordial Spirit Power surged, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dazzling firelight.

Thus, the layout of the leylines hidden beneath the high mountains came into view, and indeed, he saw a flashing node right within the mountain.

Descending from the clouds, he found only a dilapidated small temple not taller than a table, which no person could enter.

Lin Fang transformed in a flash, instantly turning into a small person, and slipped into the small temple.

Inside, it was in ruins, and the deity’s statue was also gone without a trace; thick dust covered the surroundings, clearly indicating that it had been a long time since anyone had entered.

Lin Fang walked slowly inside the temple, carefully observing his surroundings, finding no signs of battle. He didn’t know if the divine spirit of this place had fled due to the war between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Court, or if there was another hidden reason.

Looking at the empty altar, Lin Fang leaped up and sat cross-legged on it.

He immediately entered the space of the leylines, looking at the surging leyline energy, Lin Fang’s mind moved to summon the divine seal.

A battered and tattered divine seal flew out from it, landing in Lin Fang’s hands.

Lin Fang exited the space, weighing the divine seal in his hand, only to find it was in tatters, and even the inscribed text on it had become somewhat blurred.

Gently touching the broken divine seal, Lin Fang channelled his mana into it, and suddenly, an illusory scene appeared before his eyes.

It was the ancient Three Realms during a time of war; terrifying treasure ships wandered in the sky, and from time to time, powerful Heavenly Generals led heavenly soldiers descending from above.

The monsters on the ground were also unwilling to show weakness.

Unlike the current impoverished and struggling Demon Clan of Luzhou in the North, the Demon Clan of this era was well-equipped and highly trained.

The two sides soon clashed fiercely, the roars and the clanging of weapons echoing between Heaven and Earth.

It was a prolonged war, a brutal confrontation of blood and fire.

Both the Heavenly Court and the Demon Court had fully mobilized, their powerful Immortals and Gods and the Demon King’s voices could still be heard, their battlefields spread across every corner of the Three Realms.

The aftermath of their encounters stirred up the winds and clouds of Heaven and Earth, making the Three Realms seem as if they were facing the apocalypse.

Lin Fang had never seen such a tragic and terrifying war before, not even the movies he had seen in his previous life could capture one-tenth of it.

Lin Fang sighed softly, knowing this scene must have been from the time when the Demon Court and the Heavenly Court were clashing.

Meanwhile, the scene before him suddenly changed, and he heard an authoritative voice near his ear, "I want you to set up the Great Formation of the Entire Sky."

The moment the voice finished, all of Luzhou in the North seemed to be lit up by a wondrous power.

Golden columns of light shot up to the sky from each mountain peak.

That was Divine Power, they looked like stars fallen to Earth, now shining with dazzling light.

At the same time, these columns of light seemed to connect mysteriously with the stars above, instantly making the stars glitter brilliantly, even overshadowing the light of the sun.

A powerful Array spanning the Three Realms was born thus, endless starlight descending from the sky with terrible force, striking down upon the Heavenly Army on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Army suffered heavy casualties, and the Demon Clan let out thunderous cheers.

However, soon afterward, there was a violent shaking throughout the Three Realms, the mountains and rivers seemed to be trembling.

Looking up, stars fell like rain, many of the stars in the sky plummeting to the ground, and the columns of light connecting them also dimmed, their cries of agony seeming to drift through Heaven and Earth.

"Who has leaked the secret!" an extremely authoritative voice echoed through the Three Realms, a powerful divine consciousness sweeping everywhere, and soon after, Lin Fang emerged from this state.

Looking at the divine seal in his hands, now badly damaged, Lin Fang finally understood the sequence of events.

During the great battle, the Demon Court’s trump card had been the Divine Spirits they had been secretly cultivating for years, using them as the foundation to build the Great Formation of the Entire Sky, harnessing Stellar Force.

Unbeknownst to them, a traitor among the high ranks had leaked the plan to the Heavenly Court, giving them ample time to prepare.

When the Array was activated, the Heavenly Court decisively knocked down several stars and altered the celestial rules, causing the Array to fail, and many Divine Spirits suffered backlash, perhaps this was what sparked the downfall of the Demon Court.

"I wonder if this traitor has been found, it must have been someone from the core upper echelons to know these secrets," Lin Fang speculated silently.

No wonder the Heavenly Court wanted to destroy all these divine seals, probably fearing the power of the Great Formation of the Entire Sky, worried that the Demon Clan might secretly attempt something similar again.

Realizing the connections, a faint smile appeared on Lin Fang’s face, and his figure gradually faded away in the temple, heading back to the Bailu Academy.

Meanwhile, having left the Divine Exorcist Great Sage, the Flying Sky Great King headed east, without stopping, carefully surveying the environment as he continued his flight.

Soon, a vast expanse of black swamp caught his eye, seemingly endless, with no visible end in sight.

Black trees grew around it, and the air was thick with a pungent smell of decay.
