CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 334: TRUE OR FALSE

Truth and Falsehood

"You couldn’t even protect my family’s direct lineage, and they fell into their hands. Don’t blame me for betraying us all." The speaker wore an expression of deep resentment.

"What?" The Nascent Soul cultivators of the grand family alliance looked at each other in disbelief and turned their gaze toward the three most powerful and influential figures leading them.

Because it was these three who had instructed him to probe, for they had acquired an array that could conceal auras, allowing him to extract power to condense the Earth Vein Pearl.

As it turned out, the array didn’t work as intended.

"What else do you have to say? Letting you leave was already a favor given our centuries-long relationship." The elders of Wu and Feng Families were extremely angry and prepared to take action if necessary.

The three Late Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators looked grim, realizing they had been outmaneuvered.

At that moment, even the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the grand family alliance looked at them with suspicion, and their momentum began to wane.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the work of the Demon Dao, and we were unaware of it beforehand," one of them said in a deep voice, while the other two nodded in agreement.

"The three of you, either leave the Inner City or die." The Wu Family Grand Elder was filled with murderous intent, and an invisible aura emanated, causing the ground to faintly glow, as if in resonance.

An intangible pressure engulfed them from all directions.

He seemed so enraged that he was ready to harness the power of the Immortal City.

The three Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators turned pale and raised a signal.

Something was off—they discovered that the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the grand family alliance were not acting as previously agreed, instead displaying complicated expressions.

This made them suspicious, because apart from these Nascent Soul cultivators, their cultivation had reached a point where they could never break through in their lifetime.

Nascent Soul was their limit.

But if they possessed the millennium-old Earth Vein Pearl, they would have a chance to break through to Divinity Transformation.

Put yourself in their shoes—could they resist such temptation?

This was enough to make them suspicious.

Moreover, some companions noticed that a particular Nascent Soul cultivator had been in close contact with these three recently.

If these three betrayed them, it would be dangerous for the others.

One of them suddenly laughed bitterly, "You’ll regret this. I am willing to leave the Inner City."

The other two also sighed.

Though the three were the strongest in strength, if they were to seriously engage, they would be no match for Wu Feng, the dominant power in the domain.

Moreover, they could leverage the power of the Immortal City.

"Actually, I don’t believe you betrayed us." The Feng Family Grand Elder suddenly spoke, his expression conflicted.

The three were taken aback.

"You three should go out and eradicate demons to prove your innocence; we will take care of your families." The Wu Family Grand Elder suddenly said.

"Nice tactics!" The three sneered.

"But leave your Soul Lamps behind. When the lamps extinguish, the intelligence will naturally be transmitted. Don’t involve us, for the Wu Feng Domain cannot withstand internal betrayal now.

Only in this way can security be ensured.

The Wu Family Grand Elder also spoke coldly, "At this time, for the continuation of the family, better to wrongly kill a thousand than let even one go. Whether you succeed or die in combat, I swear by the Heavenly Dao and by the family name that your families will certainly live safely in the Inner City."

So please leave behind the Soul Lamps.

The Nascent Soul cultivators on the side of the grand families, who were hesitating, no longer hesitated, as most directly distanced themselves, clearly showing their stance.

As Nascent Soul cultivators thriving in peace, they lacked the courage to fight demons but wished for others to do it.

The Immortal City itself is a guarantee; using the Earth Vein Extreme Point as energy, it doesn’t require too many Nascent Souls to guard it. They actually become destabilizing factors.

If the Artifact Spirit hasn’t fully formed, internal issues can become the biggest loophole.

The three Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators felt very aggrieved but were helpless.

They were born into the family, and their current cultivation achievements were all due to the full support of the family.

In the end, they could only compromise, leaving behind their Soul Lamps.

Then they took with them the few Nascent Soul cultivators left in the family.

With this action, their family posed no threat to the Immortal City, the Wu and Feng Families wouldn’t force them out of the Inner City.

If they did so, they would lose the people’s support.

It would also push them toward the Demon Dao, which would not be wise.

Some large families showed sympathy, but more were expectant, as these three seasoned powerful families were rumored to possess family inheritance magical treasures.

If they went full force, they might be able to eradicate the demon cultivators.

Small Knife was shocked upon hearing the news.

Whether that particular Nascent Soul cultivator from the grand family alliance had really stolen the Earth Vein Extreme Point’s Origin or allied with Wu and Feng Families as a means for Wu Feng to pressure the grand family alliance no longer mattered.

In fact, the grand family alliance didn’t even bother to investigate the specific Nascent Soul.

However, all their Nascent Soul cultivators had gathered to hold a secret meeting.

Having lost the three strongest Nascent Soul powerhouses, the grand family alliance weakened considerably, even closely interacting with Nascent Souls from groups like Big Beard’s loose cultivators.

However, since their unity had shattered, no one could dominate, so the grand family alliance couldn’t offer sufficient benefits, not even concrete promises, and thus couldn’t attract anyone.

The three Nascent Soul powerhouses left the Inner City, but didn’t hurry to confront the demon cultivators and instead settled in the Outer City.

The Outer City was overcrowded, and all kinds of resources were in dire shortage.

Yet, there was no shortage of Nascent Soul cultivators, with no fewer than thirty-six guarding the Defense Array alone.

Indeed, it was fortress-like.

These Nascent Soul cultivators had all come from other cities.
