Chapter 1566 Crisis of Trust
Luo Zhi's rhetoric is definitely not perfect. However, for the leader of Tongtian, it is the only reasonable explanation at present.
Then why was Master Hua Ling able to see through the flaws in the Zhuxian Sword Formation?
This is a question that must be resolved.
Now, it's like there was a murder case. The murderer was very cautious and there was no evidence at all, but a detective came up with a reasoning that was consistent with all logic and reason.
Even if no evidence can be found to prove the correctness of this reasoning, the victim's family still believes in the detective's reasoning.
Because this is the only thing they can believe at the moment.
Luo Zhi is now the detective, and Master Tongtian is the family member of the victim.
"The spies must be found, but who? If we act rashly and arrest the wrong person, not only will we alert the enemy, but we will also destabilize the hearts of my disciples."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said: "Master, among the Jie Jiao, there are only a few people who have access to the Zhuxian Sword Formation. All we need to do is call them all in and interrogate them."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "This method is feasible."
The saint's cross-examination is much more powerful than the various cross-examination methods and interrogation methods in the world.
The saint is in line with the way of heaven. If you lie in front of him, unless you have the ability to resist the saint or the way of heaven, the saint will be able to sense it directly.
And this is because the heaven and earth are currently in a period of great tribulation, and the heavenly secrets are in chaos, which has reduced the saint's ability in this regard.
If it weren't for a great calamity, the saint wouldn't need to interrogate him at all. With just a few calculations, everything in the past and future would be clear.
As for why the leader of Tongtian didn’t notice the traitor before the great catastrophe began?
The reason is also very simple, there is no traitor at all!
As the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit said, those who have access to the Zhuxian Sword Formation are the core disciples of their Jiejiao sect. These disciples had already joined the Jiejiao sect when their relationship with Sanqing was still good.
At that time, Yuanshi Tianzun had no intention of planting spies.
As for bewitching them later... I can only say that I thought too much. As a core disciple of Jie Jiao, what could Yuanshi Tianzun come up with to bewitch them?
The location of the Twelve Golden Immortals?
I'm afraid it's not as good as Jie Jiao's personal teaching!
The four great disciples, who serve the Seven Immortals, are all loyal to the leader of Tongtian Cult.
However, times change, and being loyal now does not mean you will be loyal in the future.
In the original work, the Tongtian Cult Master has been preparing a great killer weapon - the Six Soul Banner since the failure of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
This flag combines countless treasures from heaven and earth, and appears as a one-time prop. At such a huge cost, the power of the Six Soul Hair is powerful enough to affect the saint.
Although it is only a moment, in the battle of saints, this moment is enough to determine the victory.
Leader Tongtian gave this great murderous weapon to Chang'er Dingguangxian, one of the seven immortals who accompanied him. However, when using it, Chang'er Dingguangxian chose to betray, causing Master Tongtian's plan to come to nothing.
From this point of view, Changer Dingguangxian is a traitor to Jiejiao.
But, that is also the future.
Now, Chang'er Dingguangxian is still a disciple of Jie Jiao and has no thoughts of betrayal. He is just slightly worried about the future of Jie Jiao.
This is normal. There is no disciple of Jiejiao who would not feel worried after learning that Master Tongtian failed.
However, this kind of betrayal on the battlefield is more hateful than a spy.
After all, as a spy, he was not on the side of the Jiaojiao from the beginning. Betraying at a critical moment can only be said to have fulfilled one's duties, and it is not even enough to be called a betrayal.
If this is the case, Master Tongtian can only blame himself for not being able to see through the true colors of the people around him.
But betrayal in battle is a real betrayal, and there is no excuse for it.
There will also be betrayers among the Jie Jiao disciples in the future.
After being on the list of gods and being conferred the title of god, many Jie Jiao disciples changed their minds and became loyal to the Jade Emperor.
Most of the three thousand disciples of the Jie Sect who were transferred to the Western religion also chose to join the Western religion and became the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western religion.
These people's betrayal can be considered excusable. After all, the Jiejiao sect had collapsed at that time, and they were also in the enemy's camp. If they did not obey, they would only perish.
In comparison, Long Er Dingguangxian's betrayal seems particularly abominable!
In the later generations of Jie Jiao, every disciple of Jie Jiao, regardless of whether he betrayed or not, hated Chang Er Ding Guang Immortal to the core.
If Luo Zhi wants to change the outcome of Jiejiao's defeat and lead to Taoist ancestor Hongjun, he must first let the Tongtian leader hand over the Six Soul Banner to others during the battle in Wanxian Town.
It is best to be someone who is loyal and will never betray.
It’s best for this person to be yourself!
That's why Luo Zhicai raised the issue of spies. Through the previous execution of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Hualing Zhenren saw through the flaw in the Zhuxian Sword Formation and convinced Tongtian Cult Master of the existence of spies.
"Jin Ling, go and ask them to come in."
Lord Tongtian ordered.
Luo Zhi took a step forward at this time and said: "Master, Senior Sister, it is inappropriate to call everyone together. After all, none of us know whether there is one spy or..."
The leader of Tongtian Cult slapped the seat and said angrily: "Is it possible that there are two or three spies beside me?"
Luo Zhi said hurriedly: "Disciple made a mistake."
Leader Tongtian snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and said: "Then let them separate and question them one by one."
It was obvious that although he was angry because of Luo Zhi's words, he already had some thoughts in his heart.
The human heart is like this. If there is a gap, it means that countless gaps will appear soon.
Once trust turns into doubt, there is no trust anymore.
At this moment, Tongtian Cult Leader deeply suspected that there were spies around him. As Luo Zhi said, he didn't know whether it was one or two, or more.
Immediately afterwards, disciples were summoned one after another individually. Among the four direct disciples, except for Taoist Duobao who was captured by Saint Taiqing, the remaining three were all fine.
There seemed to be no problem with the six of the Seven Immortals who were accompanying them. However, when the Chang Er Dingguang Immortal was interrogated, the Tongtian Cult Leader suddenly felt something was wrong.
Saints are connected to the way of heaven and have extremely special perceptions. Leader Tongtian realized that Long Er Dingguang Immortal was hiding something, but he didn't know what exactly he was hiding.
Our Lady of Jinling and Luo Zhi were watching from the side, and they immediately noticed something was wrong with the Master of Tongtian.
After all, Tongtian Cult Master did not hide the meaning of the two of them, and his expression changes were very obvious.
The eyes of the two men suddenly became dangerous, staring directly at Long Er Dingguangxian, which made his heart beat fast and he felt vaguely uneasy.
"Long-eared Fairy, are what you just said true? Are you not hiding anything?"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit asked coldly.
Chang'er Dingguangxian's heart trembled and he said: "Yes, it's all true..."
"lie!"
Leader Tongtian spoke coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. The power of heaven and earth automatically gathered together, like a sharp long sword, placed on the neck of Long-eared Dingguang Immortal.
