This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 695 - 596: A Quest for a Freebie!
Things were going smoothly; the Mystical Mechanism Continent's Immortal Dynasty had no intention of making things difficult for them, so the Sect Elders of the First-class forces were all in good spirits when they led their Disciples out of the Secret Realm.
"Sir, is it really okay to just let these people go? The traitor might be hiding among them."
At the Secret Realm exit, as he watched the First-class forces who just wanted benefits without putting in the effort, Jiang Fufeng's bodyguard expressed his doubts and confusion.
"It's possible that the traitor could be among them, or maybe even among us. There were too many forces involved this time, so much chatter to sift through, we couldn't be sure. Without absolute certainty, it's not wise to trap them here."
Jiang Fufeng extended his left hand and, with some headache, rubbed his temples. Fighting the battle to this point, he had grown weary, and now there was inevitably a betrayer among their ranks.
However, the memory of his wife Yuan Xihuan's smiling face before he left filled Jiang Fufeng with strength, and he patted his cheeks to invigorate his spirit.
He had people behind him who needed his protection!
"Are the people you found reliable?"
Jiang Fufeng's expression changed suddenly, and he turned to look at the person approaching from behind.
"Reliable sure, but you ought to know, after all, they are Abnormal People, the reliability is limited to 90%..."
Faced with Jiang Fufeng's question, Liang Yi spread his hands and shrugged, his expression also seemed somewhat uncertain.
After all, to say that players were 100% reliable would truly be deceiving oneself.
Even if the players Liang Yi found were old acquaintances and top players from the Purple Cloud Sect he recognized from his past life, he couldn't guarantee these players wouldn't go mad and take the risk of betraying their sect and being hunted by all forces, choosing to be faithless. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Let's leave it at that then. Since we've decided to try, it doesn't matter if it fails."
Jiang Fufeng thought so too; he more or less understood the character of the Abnormal People. When they are reliable, they truly are, but when they lose their minds, they really can go crazy.
"Where are your fellow disciples?"
Jiang Fufeng tilted his head, surprised not to see Su Youyi among Liang Yi's group.
"With so many sects involved, I didn't trust anyone else with the task. So, I split the region into three areas with the disciples, Yue Bai, and Uncle Jute each monitoring one area."
Liang Yi pulled out a map detailing the entire landscape of the Mystical Mechanism Continent from his Storage Ring.
Once unfurled, Jiang Fufeng noticed that the recently departed First-class forces' locations were highlighted with Spiritual Power, and three lines drawn at the map's center formed a "Y," dividing the entire area of First-class forces into three parts.
"Not only them, but Feng Yuyou from the Little Bamboo House and Yu Wei from the Wind God Commerce have also lent their help."
Liang Yi's corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, his face beaming with an odd and confident smile. As long as the traitor wished to transmit the information silently and undetected, there was no way they would escape their surveillance.
"Yes, we have previously discussed this with the Sect Elders of the various sects. We agreed to give up a portion of the benefits in exchange for allowing our Immortal Dynasty's Array Masters to set up detection Arrays around their sect's domains."
Jiang Fufeng nodded in trust upon hearing that Liang Yi had already made arrangements, assured by Liang Yi's confidence. However, Jiang Fufeng then mentioned the other matter Liang Yi had instructed him about.
"As soon as someone attempts to transmit information across the boarder, they will be marked and reported to us."
"Thank you, Jiang brother. Your hard work is appreciated."
Gratitude flickered in Liang Yi's eyes as he thanked Jiang Fufeng.
"It's nothing. His Majesty also agreed to this. Otherwise, why would we let that group leave so easily?"
Jiang Fufeng's tone turned cold when he brought up those First-class forces that still harbored wild ambitions. He scoffed in disdain.
They didn't want to put in the effort but still saw their Super Force as a shield to secure benefits for themselves. Jiang Fufeng understood their thoughts, but that didn't mean he agreed with them.
Indeed, the Super Forces had governed the Mystical Mechanism Continent for countless years and should rightfully shoulder the burden when facing external threats. But that didn't mean that when facing the Abyss, only a few of them should be fighting with all their might while others comfortably hid behind them, reaping the rewards.
Initially, the Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou had prepared a plan to intimidate and seduce the smaller groups, but with this turn of events, they had to prioritize finding the traitor first. Other matters could wait.
"But what if that guy does contact the Abyss? What if he just bides his time?"
Jiang Fufeng worried about the possibility that the traitor would manage to stay patient.
"Don't worry, this extremely important piece of information is time-sensitive. He will surely attempt to report it to the Abyss as soon as possible."
Liang Yi waved his hand, not at all concerned.
The intelligence was only useful before they infiltrated the Abyss. If they waited until after their incursion, it would be like a fish slipping into the sea. Unless they exposed themselves, tracking them down would be nearly impossible.
Even though they might not be able to destroy the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core then, if not, they would naturally seek other targets. There's a saying: "A thief is caught in a day, but vigilance lasts forever."
"Hmm... That makes sense."
Jiang Fufeng slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened. He had indeed been so tired lately that even this obvious matter eluded his understanding.
"I've estimated a time frame of three days. If the traitor is indeed among these people, they'll definitely make a move within that period."
