Chapter 1768

The destruction of Plunder Shadow Earth Trench’s defensive formation shakes Southern Border’s righteous path. Its dream realms are the largest congregation in Southern Border outside Yi Tian Mountain, and since Immortal Yi Yan’s Prophecy of Three Venerables every super force guards such realms with huge attention. Investigation finds one enemy, a rank seven Gu Immortal, and some suspect Fang Yuan, though others doubt it since he would not leave dream realms untouched. Fang Yuan did leave them on purpose, unlike in the previous life. ^{ch. 1768}

Chi clan’s first supreme elder Chi Qu You is the unhappiest. He had secretly left a backdoor in the formation, but he hesitated over using it since exposing it would tarnish his reputation, and Fang Yuan’s refinement path killer move broke it first. In the previous life Chi Qu You transported himself into the formation, but now Fang Yuan’s greater strength left him little time. ^{ch. 1768}

Rumors spread that the formation fell so fast because Chi clan has a traitor. Chi Qu You announces that it is slander and promises an investigation, yet the rumors outrun him and his long built reputation begins to fall. He regrets having hesitated over the backdoor. ^{ch. 1768}

Yang clan, always opposed to Chi clan, calls it an inside job, since Yang San Mu, a rank seven expert, lost too quickly and his information must have leaked. It asks how Chi Qu You explains that the leaked contents of the formation are all accurate. He has nothing to say, yet insists that any super clan involved could hold the traitor. Admitting a traitor would ruin Chi clan’s reputation, so he swears never to. Chi clan really had a traitor in the previous life, himself, though he has no idea his troubles are of his own making. ^{ch. 1768}

Rumors intensify however he defends himself, and he suspects other Southern Border forces of adding fuel, Yang clan definitely among them. Very angry despite rank eight cultivation, he is without options, since cultivation level is not everything in the rules of the righteous path. He resolves to capture the instigator, unveil the truth and silence the righteous path. He almost shouts for his innocence and reputation to be returned, but who knows what he would think if he really found the culprit. ^{ch. 1768}
