Hearing this, some of the elders felt something was amiss. "What do you mean by you and Featherknowing each other ? We all know him too! After all, he used to be our Senior Brother!" Theyexclaimed. However, a thought suddenly came to Elder Chai, and his face changed greatly. He staredat Elder Hu sternly and shouted, "You mean that you’ve been in touch with Feather all the time ? Youare the hidden traitor that he arranged in our clan ?" Elder Hu’s expression changed. Finally, he noddedand cried, "Back then, Feather asked me to steal the booklet and pills from Master’s room with him. Ididn’t dare go. I didn’t expect that he would kill Master and Senior Brother that day." "At that time,Feather, who was preparing to run away, gave me some herbal medicine and asked me to help himescape by being his eyes and ears here. I didn’t agree at first, but he threatened me. I was so scaredthat I had no choice but to agree. "So, when we were chasing after Feather, I occasionally revealedsome information to him." Hearing this, all elders looked ferocious and glared angrily at Elder Hu. "Nowwe know why we didn’t catch Feather in the end. It turns out that you, the hidden traitor, had beensending him messages!" They exclaimed. "He colluded with a traitor, he’s a traitor too. Arrest him rightnow." Fade looked at Elder Hu and said faintly, "You are in touch with Feather, so when you heard thathe has been killed, you were worried that he had told me about you." "So, you deliberately made thingsdifficult for me. You wanted to make other elders distrust me so that I can avoid revealing that you arethe traitor. Am I right ?" Fade looked at Elder Hu and said in a low voice. Elder Hu was silent for awhile. He then nodded and said, "Yes." As the head of punishment for the clan, Elder Chai’s faceturned cold when he heard these words. He shouted, "Arrest him and lock him up in the dungeon. TheGuardian will deal with him after he is done with his self-isolation." Two elders then walked over andstarted to grab Elder Hu. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the whole side hall seemed tobe shaken. Everyone was shocked and quickly rushed out, looking at the place where the explosionoccurred. There were caves built on the mountain side behind the Cloud Clan building From one of thecaves on the mountain, flame and smoke was billowing. Upon seeing this, the expressions on theelders faces immediately changed. They cried out in alarm, "Oh no, Guardian, he." "What’s going on?"
Fade asked. As he walked, Elder Chai explained to Fade, "Half a month ago, Guardian Zhuo waspreparing to produce the Inner Strength Pill to reward the disciples who had outstanding performances,as well as to those who requested for this medicine." "We didn’t expect that when the Guardian wasrefining the medicine, a very precious herb suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by anotherkind of herb. After the herbs were put into the furnace, a violent reaction happened, which almostcaused the whole furnace to explode." "The Guardian was shocked and used all kinds of means tocontrol the furnace. But he couldn’t bear to waste the pills, so he manipulated the furnace with hispowers, and then ordered us to locate the lost herb immediately." After listening to Elder Chai’sexplanation, Fade came to a realization. "And because you have to look for the herb, you have stoppedallowing in those people who are requesting for medical help." Elder Chai sighed and said, "That’s true.We can’t do anything about it. It will be more difficult to find the herb if there were more people comingin and asking for medication." At this moment, Fade suddenly noticed that Elder Hu, who was beingpressed to the ground, had a cold smile flashing across his face. Immediately, Fade’s eyes darkened.He stepped forward and shouted coldly, "What do you know about what happened to Guardian Zhuo?Elder Hu’s face darkened, he looked surprised, and then he fell silent Fade gave a fierce grunt. Heraised his palm, and said coldly. "Do you want me to force it out of you ?" shocked. His body trembledfor a moment Elder Hu was before he stuttered, "l, I was the one who switched Guardian Zhuo’sprecious herbs." "What? How could you do that ?" Elder Chai shouted angrily, he was appalled. ElderHu lowered his head and said, "I heard that Feather has been killed. I was worried that my identitywould be exposed. So I made another preparation." "You, you... The elders around him were so angry,they wanted to kill Elder Hu on the spot! On the contrary, Fade asked calmly, "Where is the herb youtook?" Elder Chai and the others suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly asked, "That’s right.Where’s the herb?" Elder Hu smiled and said, "I’ve already refined and consumed it." "How dare you..."Elder Chai and the others were boiling with anger! At this time, there was another explosion from thecave on the mountain wall, and the billowing smoke was massive. When Elder Chai and the others sawthis, they grew anxious. "Oh no, the furnace might have gone out of control. The Guardian is indanger." "Take him away!" Elder Chai asked for two elders to escort Elder Hu back to the dungeons.
The rest of them rushed towards the cave, and Fade followed suit. Soon, the group of people arrivedoutside the cave where Guardian Zhuo was. The cave was built into the mountain wall, equipped with aMagic Furnace, a source of fire, a storage room, and other items. These items were specially designedfor Guardian Zhuo to perform his pill refining operation. At this moment, the large cave was filled withthick smoke. A huge medicinal cauldron was placed on a fire. From time to time, explosions could beheard from within the Magic Furnace. Beside it, a long-haired man with a darkened face was doing hisbest to control the situation. It was as though he wanted to rescue the medicinal pills from within theMagic Furnace. However, the explosions from the Magic Furnace kept injuring the long-haired man,causing him to tremble violently and spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Elder Chai and otherswere very anxious. They rushed into the cave and shouted simultaneously, "Guardian, it’s dangerous.Come out quickly." When the Guardian saw this, he bellowed, "Don’t come over. The Magic Furnacehas lost control. If I leave, there will be a huge explosion. I’m afraid that the entire cave system behindthe mountain will be destroyed. The Cloud Clan cannot afford such losses. The hearts of Elder Chaiand the others sank. There were dozens of caves in the mountain, some of which were used to refinepills and some to store priceless treasures. Many of the clan’s precious herbs and weapons were atstake. There were also some outstanding disciples who were practising in the caves at this moment. Ifthe caves were to really be destroyed, the Cloud Clan would definitely be greatly weakened, and theirskill level would fall the from Black Level immediately. There would be no chance for them to rise again.novelbin
