Chapter 409 - Betrayed by Someone

Chen Fan looked at Young Master Xue Yi with a dark gaze and asked, “How did you find me?”

He had concealed himself flawlessly. He had even taken into account that powerful blood demons could sniff out his bloodline. He had used the Wind and Cloud Banners to conceal himself, as it could mask the scent of his vitality.

Still, Young Master Xue Yi found him and his precise location and ambushed him.

“Haha, brat, you are Chen Fan, aren’t you? A disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect.” Young Master Xue Yi laughed complacently and said, “You might have thought you were well-hidden, but I've had my eye on you for quite some time."

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed, and he said, “How do you know about me?”

The fact that Young Master Xue Yi knew so much about him was unsettling.

"Of course, I know about you," Young Master Xue Yi continued, his tone dripping with disdain. "Not only do I know that, but I also happen to know that you're the recent champion of the Four Sects Martial Arts Competition."

Chen Fan’s heart completely sank.

The look on his face brought a look of satisfaction to Young Master Xue Yi’s face. “I’ll save you from being an ignorant ghost. I knew about you coming to Myriad Deaths Mountains long ago. You used the Wind and Cloud Banners to hide, didn’t you? Clever choice. If I hadn't known you were coming here, I really wouldn’t have found you."

Young Master Xue Yi’s words caused Chen Fan’s expression to change.

He knew everything. How is that possible?

Aside from the sect leader, only Wei Buyu knew about it. There was no feasible way for anyone else to have been aware of his whereabouts.

There must be a traitor! I’ve been betrayed! Chen Fan instantly realized.

There were traitors within the Spring Autumn Sect, allies of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.

Billions of thoughts flashed in Chen Fan’s mind in an instant.

Could it be master?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. I have to escape somehow. I can’t kill them, but I could expose their sinister plot... The achievement would be massive.

A brilliant light shone in Chen Fan’s eyes. He moved his palm slightly, and a faint light shone as the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman appeared in his hand.

Suddenly, Young Master Xue Yi flipped his palm. A mountainous treasure appeared, and following its activation, the space was directly sealed. He said mockingly, “Oh, right, don’t even think about using the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman. Unfortunately for you, I possess a counter to its powers. The surrounding space is now sealed; you have nowhere to run."

Chen Fan’s expression darkened. Just when he was about to use the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman to escape, Xue Yi had used a treasure to seal the only path of escape he had left.

“The traitor is surely from the sect. They even told you about the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman.”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly moved, tearing the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman, clinging to a glimmer of hope.

However, his efforts proved futile. Despite his activation of the talisman, the space remained solid, refusing to yield even a crack.

Young Master Xue Yi noticed his actions and smiled. “There's no need for secrecy; feel free to use your talisman openly. I want to see you despairing. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t stop you.”

Chen Fan still did not give up. He took out the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman in the open and activated it fiercely.

The surface of the talisman flashed and runes flickered on it, communicating with the space and forming a mysterious force, enveloping Chen Fan. However, it failed to move him.

The Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman soon crumbled. Chen Fan felt like he had fallen into the deep abyss of hell.

“Who is the traitor? I want to know before I die. Just tell me. Or are you scared I’ll run away?”

Chen Fan looked at Young Master Xue Yi, feeling completely calm.

Since the Five Thousand Kilometers Displacement Talisman was useless, he had only one recourse: buy some time to think of a strategy to escape.

He was surrounded, and he couldn’t defeat even a single one of his opponents. Moreover, there was also Sword Venerable Ling Yun, a fourth-level Core Formation realm expert, present. It was a hopeless situation.

“Alright, I’ll tell you then. The person who betrayed you is none other than your master, Wei Buyu!” Young Master Xue Yi smiled vaguely, his intention unclear.
