Chapter 2008 The Informant
Chapter 2008: The Informant Chapter 2008: The Informant Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Unfortunately, the storage equipment on these corpses had long been removed.
The broken eon artifacts were also collected.
Loy Haber, familiar with the area, restrained his aura and proceeded deeper.
“Conceal your aura.
Don’t let them discover us.” “I’m afraid we’ve already been noticed.” Braydon Neal lifted his head slightly, gazing into the distance.
Three young men in white robes, each with an eon artifact sword, descended.
Swoosh!
A longsword pointed at them, brimming with killing intent.
“This is the resting place of the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
Those with no business here should leave.” These were three inner disciples of the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
Icarus Jacome knew them well, but he and Braydon had disguised themselves as middle-aged men and had concealed their auras, so the three didn’t recognize them at first.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected the sect traitor to appear here.
To outsiders, it looked like the Dlael Spiritual Sect had merely staked out the mystic realm, so claiming one or two favorable spots on the outskirts seemed natural.
No expert would care.
Everyone knew the real treasures were likely at the core.
What could possibly lie on the outskirts?
Loy’s expression darkened; he hadn’t anticipated the Dlael Spiritual Sect to react so swiftly. It had been only half a day, and they’d already uncovered the secret of this place.
Now, they were guarding it, barring others from entry.
If that was the case, they’d have no choice but to retreat.
He felt a deep sense of frustration.
Loy forced a smile and cupped his hands.
“Could you do me a favor?
I lost contact with my junior brother here.
I just want to retrieve his body and leave.
I won’t touch anything else.
How about it?” “Hmph, don’t you understand what I said?” The Dlael Spiritual Sect was here, and all irrelevant people must leave.
Or else, they would die!
Loy’s face twisted with frustration as he turned and left. The three disciples of the Dlael Spiritual Sect wore mocking expressions, clearly looking down on these wandering low-level transcendent experts.
There was a vast difference between having a prestigious background and not.
Braydon and Icarus also turned around.
But just as they turned, the two of them attacked simultaneously!
Swoosh!
Braydon transformed, splitting into the nine supremes, each wielding a sword.
The small black sword became nine long swords.
With a thought.
Sword light filled the world.
The mastery of that person’s sword path.
Ten thousand blades returned to their sheaths.
At the instant of drawing his sword.
The world was silent.
The three disciples of the Dlael Spiritual Sect were decapitated, their transcendent path severed.
They died instantly.
“Are you insane?” Loy cried out, horrified.
“How dare you kill disciples of the Dlael Spiritual Sect!” It was over!
He’d now be hunted by the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
It would surely mean his death.
“Fortune comes from risk,” Braydon replied calmly.
“The Dlael Spiritual Sect controls this place.
If we don’t stir the waters, we gain nothing.” Icarus was equally composed, turning and shouting, “The disciples of the Dlael Spiritual Sect are here!
Who dares to be impudent?” “The treasures here belong to the Dlael Spiritual Sect!
Anyone attempting to claim them is their enemy!” Braydon was even more brazen.
After two sentences.
A Dlael Spiritual Sect elder on the ground was so frightened he wet himself.
Every Dlael Spiritual Sect member turned pale.
These fools on the ground.
Did they really believe the Dlael Spiritual Sect was invincible?
Daring to shout this loudly, did they fear others wouldn’t know there was treasure here?
To many powerful transcendent experts, the Dlael Spiritual Sect was insignificant.
In the face of treasure, even a disciple of the Dlael Spiritual Sect could be killed!
As he finished speaking.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Thousands of figures approached from the sky.
Several exuded the aura of high-level transcendents.
Hundreds, even thousands, of transcendent experts arrived, led by a young man in white robes holding a folding fan.
Smiling, he said, “The Dlael Spiritual Sect certainly speaks big.
The treasures here belong to the virtuous.
To monopolize them goes against the rules.” “Hmph, the Dlael Spiritual Sect does not hold sway here.” Another transcendent spoke up.
Many were already discontent with the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
The reason was simple: The Dlael Spiritual Sect had discovered this location and wanted to claim it all for themselves.
If it hadn’t been for defectors revealing the news, everyone would have remained ignorant.
Braydon and his group slipped away quietly. Loy led them through an underground entrance, arriving at a palace complex.
As expected.
The underground structure was well-preserved.
Moreover, the area was vast.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect had already scouted the area, and thousands of disciples were also exploring within.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect disciples opted to withdraw from the intruders.
They didn’t dare act.
To act now would provoke the wrath of everyone.
It was simple: the foolish disciple’s earlier outburst had already offended many.
If they still attempted to block them.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect disciples would become enemies to all and face slaughter.
Thus, Dlael Spiritual Sect decided to retreat, the wisest choice.
An elder emerged and bowed toward the young man in white robes.
Smiling, he said, “Ah, Signe, apologies for any disrespect.
The treasures here belong to the virtuous.
How dare our Dlael Spiritual Sect attempt to claim them?
Everyone, please proceed!” “Humph!” Even so, few gave the Dlael Spiritual Sect a friendly glance.
The elder smiled apologetically, then turned with a dark expression.
“Find the fool who shouted earlier and execute him immediately,” he growled.
This idiot had nearly doomed the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
Keeping him would serve no purpose.
Better to eliminate him to avoid future trouble.
One of the nearby disciples sighed, “Third Elder, those three disciples are already dead.
Someone killed them with a single sword stroke.
The assailant is likely an expert.” “Dead?” The third elder thought it over and found it plausible.
They had spoken so arrogantly—no wonder an expert silenced them.
Little did they know, they had been tricked.
Braydon and Icarus were the ones who’d deceived the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
The two brothers moved forward.
Meanwhile, Loy watched with a complicated expression. He realized just how fierce Braydon was and how cunning Icarus was. He knew these two weren’t the kind of people who’d serve as his cannon fodder.
It was impossible to control people like them.
It was better to part ways.
“Now that everything’s in chaos, we can exploit the confusion,” he said.
“From here, we rely on our own luck.
Agreed?” “Agreed!” Braydon nodded.
He could see through Loy’s intentions; he just wanted to avoid getting implicated if things went south after killing a Dlael Spiritual Sect disciple, so he was looking to distance himself now.
Moreover, it was clear Braydon and Icarus weren’t easily controlled.
To stay with them would only invite disaster.
Loy left with a man and a woman, heading deeper into the forest.
“Braydon, aren’t you worried they’ll betray us?” Icarus asked in a low, cold voice.
“Do you think they’ll join the Dlael Spiritual Sect?” Braydon frowned.
Icarus nodded.
“They’re only loyal to their interests.
They’d sell us out to the Dlael Spiritual Sect for personal gain without a second thought.”
