Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: Shocking Conspiracy, Emerges (4/6)

After reading the information.

Mu Fusheng’s expression became solemn.

Neither the Xu Family nor the Xuanyuan Clan were holding back in this relic operation.

They revealed too many resources; it seemed both the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan had spent enormous efforts and gone all-in to vie for the Sun and Moon Token!

Since even the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan were acting this way, other top families and factions would naturally follow suit.

The subsequent actions must be carried out with even greater caution.

However... luckily, the information already exposed most of the hidden cards of the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan.

For example, the Xu Family brought along two jade pendants capable of projecting Boundary God Realm power, each able to unleash one attack from a Boundary God Realm expert!

As for the Xuanyuan Clan, they had brought out their clan treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword, which was currently with Xuanyuan Che!

To defend against attacks of this caliber, they could only rely on the hidden cards given to them by their master.

These details were not what made Mu Fusheng feel heavy-hearted; rather, it was the contents within.

Among the Xuanyuan Clan members, there were several whose actions were extremely suspicious.

Some even went as far as killing their fellow clan members to obtain the Sun and Moon Token.

The Xu Family had a similar situation, albeit only in one relic location.

Mu Fusheng shared this information with his brothers and juniors.

Xu Yeming, upon hearing it, immediately realized his assumptions were correct.

Someone within the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan was secretly plotting something that could alter the balance of power in the Cangxuan Continent!

It seemed they wanted complete control over both the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan.

Linking these events together, Xu Yeming was able to deduce that the old injustice done to his father, Xu Canghai, had been orchestrated by these same individuals!

The purpose was to weaken the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan, making it easier for them to achieve their ambitions.

Within the area where they currently resided.

There were indeed rebels from the Xuanyuan Clan.

One of the relic sites was tied to Blackie, while another one happened to be under Xu Yeming’s watch.

However, the Xuanyuan Clan rebels on Xu Yeming’s side had yet to make their move—they had only secretly killed one direct-lineage clan member.

"Junior Brother Xu, you must remain hidden on your side; avoid exposing yourself and don’t startle the snake before it’s time," Mu Fusheng reminded.

Xu Yeming nodded, "Understood."

"One more thing everyone should be cautious about," Mu Fusheng continued seriously, "Immortal Realm cultivators are also lurking in various relic sites. Their goals are clear, and their strength is not to be underestimated—beware of sneak attacks from their side."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon after, Mu Fusheng stepped into the Light Gate, becoming the last cultivator to enter the relic among them.

...

Meanwhile.

Having reached the final stage, Xu Yeming, after receiving the new information, deliberately fixed his gaze on one particular individual within the Xuanyuan Clan.

That person was none other than Xuanyuan Zixi.

Xu Yeming had previously sensed a familiar but eerie aura emanating from Xuanyuan Zixi.

Now, combined with Mu Fusheng’s intelligence, he had essentially confirmed the identity of his target.

Indeed.

Xuanyuan Zixi was the Xuanyuan Clan rebel hidden within the relic.

Yet for now, he couldn’t make any rash moves—exposing everything prematurely might prompt the enemy to enact their plans ahead of schedule.

Currently, Xu Yeming lacked sufficient conclusive evidence to verify the full scope of the rebellion; he still needed decisive proof.

Under these circumstances.

If Xu Yeming were to reveal the plot and ambition to the upper echelons of the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan...

Would any rational person truly believe him?

Would they trust a member of their direct lineage, or take seriously the claims of Xu Yeming, who harbored personal grievances?

Moreover...

For someone to pull off such elaborate schemes and stay hidden for so long, it was hard for Xu Yeming to believe that the higher-ups in both families didn’t already have their own rebel insiders!

If he inadvertently reported it to the wrong high-ranking individual, wouldn’t that be utterly embarrassing?

Xu Yeming withdrew his gaze and looked ahead.

Here, within the pitch-black hall, candles finally lit up, their faint flames casting a glow upon the dark steel walls.

In the center of the hall lay a black stone platform. Coiled around the pillar of the stone platform was a golden dragon pattern, lifelike and vivid!

It even exuded an aura of draconic majesty, roaring fiercely!

On top of the stone platform rested a single token.

The token was engulfed by towering flames.

It felt as though the faintly glowing candles on the walls were meant to frame the presence of the token.

It resembled a group of loyal subjects worshipping and serving their king...

Without a doubt, the token on the stone platform was clearly the coveted Sun and Moon Token that all factions desired!

At this moment.

An elderly voice echoed throughout the hall, though the speaker himself did not appear.

"The final trial has no schemes and no traps, only a test of your combat abilities... Of course, since combat is the focus, all of your cultivation realms will be suppressed to the same level."

Upon finishing.

Everyone’s cultivation was suppressed to the Divine Realm!

The elder continued with a chuckle, "However... absolute fairness doesn’t exist in this world. You are free to use external items, with no restrictions... And yes, you may also utilize the Divine Weapons obtained from me."

Clearly.

Cultivators from top families and factions would have a distinct advantage.

Their hidden cards and resources far surpassed those of first-rate factions, let alone rogue cultivators.

For a moment, cultivators from the top factions confidently displayed smiles of determination.

Meanwhile, others from less powerful factions looked increasingly troubled.

"Without any rules, whoever reaches the stone platform first and seizes the Sun and Moon Token will become its owner."

After declaring these words.

The elder’s voice completely faded away.

The final trial was obviously destined to be a chaotic battle.

Even so.

No one dared to rush toward the stone platform at once recklessly.

Though the distance to the platform wasn’t far.

No one here was easy to deal with.

Everyone present—weren’t they the most exceptional talents of their generation? The top-tier prodigies among the youth of Cangxuan Continent?

They could be certain.

The first person foolish enough to make a move to grab the Sun and Moon Token would inevitably draw the collective assault of all the others.

Under such attacks, surviving would be difficult!

After all, there was only one Sun and Moon Token.

Even those from the same faction would watch their backs carefully...

Thus.

This produced an awkward stalemate.

Everyone just stared at each other, cautious and hesitant, creating an unbearably tense atmosphere.

For a moment, no one dared to be the one to break the impasse and make the first move.

The same situation occurred on Xu Yeming’s side.

Only after the time for two incense sticks to burn had passed did someone finally speak up: "This deadlock won’t solve anything. How about we negotiate a set of rules?"

"What kind of rules?"

"For instance, one-on-one duels—or to save time, we can form two-person teams and have group battles. The winning team can then proceed to one-on-one duels."

"You’re just looking for an opportunity to snatch the Sun and Moon Token amidst the chaos, aren’t you?"

His intentions were immediately exposed.

The plan was quickly scrapped.

The situation... fell back into an awkward stalemate.
