Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 2054

2054 The Suspec

Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Abysmal Saint Master strangely.

He had shared resentment with Abysmal Saint Master before. Abysmal Saint Master had looked for an opportunity to kill him back then.

However, after a trip to Three-Emperors World, their resentment had naturally been resolved. Now, both parties held no grudges. They could even be considered great friends.

Jian Wushuang understood Abysmal Saint Master. Although he was jealous, he wasn’t one that acted hastily.

Abysmal Saint Master paused and continued, “I wanted to kill you, Sword Emperor. However, my intention was frank. All the Great Emperors in Sanctuary Alliance knew that I didn’t want to see you grow and be above me. I wasn’t hiding anything.”

“However, Zi Xu was different!”

“Before the danger of Eternal Chaotic World was revealed, before I really took action against you, Zi Xu once revealed his intention to kill you when he was talking to me. In our conversation, now that I think back, there was a tinge of incitement in his speech.”

“Incitement?” Jian Wushuang was stunned.

Great Emperor Xi Zu wanted to kill him and he’d incited Abysmal Saint Master to come after him?

However, Great Emperor Zi Xu behaved rather gently and humbly when he’d met Jian Wushuang. He didn’t reveal anything different.

“From what I know, Zi Xu is laid back and gentle. He never questions the affairs in Sanctuary Alliance. He almost never takes the initiative to offend anyone but he killed Real G.o.d Wu Bei in secret and wanted to kill you, Jian Wushuang. Forget about the fact that both Real G.o.d Wu Bei and you were only Real G.o.ds and had never once offended him. On top of that, both of you are inverse cultivators. Now, that’s interesting,” Emperor Bai muttered and his voice was cold.

“Of course, with that alone, we can’t be certain that Zi Xu is a spy. It is most likely he isn’t as broad-minded as we thought he was,” Abysmal Saint Master said.

“That’s true,” Jian Wushuang nodded. “However, I have another reason that led me to suspect him. Abysmal Saint Master, do you remember Great Emperor Colored Glaze invited you and Great Emperor Zi Xu to join forces to come to Green Fire World?”

“Of course I do. I thought we were going to win for sure. We never thought that you would be so powerful and that you would have another mysterious expert who a.s.sisted you too,” Abysmal Saint Master said.

“The mysterious expert is Lord Spirit Sound. We go way back,” Jian Wushuang smiled. “Back then, Lord Spirit Sound suppressed Great Emperor Zi Xu. However, after the battle ended, she told me that Great Emperor Zi Xu… had intentionally held his power back.”

“What?” Abysmal Saint Master looked in shock.

“Zi Xu has been hiding his power?” Emperor Bai creased his eyebrows too.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes contained a chilly gleam.

After Lord Spirit Sound fought with Great Emperor Zi Xu, she had told him to be careful of Great Emperor Zi Xu because she could tell that Great Emperor Zi Xu wasn’t as simple as he looked. One should know that the power that Great Emperor Zi Xu had put on display had already gotten him the fifth place on Eternal Chaotic World’s Heaven and Earth Supreme Ranking List.

He was already so powerful when he held back his power. Just how strong would he be if he were to put his full power on display?

“It seems that Great Emperor Zi Xu was really not as simple as we imagined him to be,” Emperor Bai said in a low voice. Although he always saw Great Emperor Zi Xu, he had never fought with him. Hence, he couldn’t tell if he was hiding his power.

Abysmal Saint Master and Emperor Jiu Qiao saw and nodded faintly.

Sanctuary Alliance and Eternal Chaotic World had been at peace for too long.

In peace, there was definitely hidden decay. There were spies that the enemy had placed and it was time to root them out.

As the four of them chatted, they returned to the buildings in the surrounding dark.

Not long after the four of them returned, the Great Emperors that Emperor Bai commanded to get Jian Wushuang from Bronze Heart Region returned too.

These Great Emperors had gone and taken a trip to Bronze Heart Region. However, they didn’t see Jian Wushuang but had met some experts from Three-Emperors World. Both parties had fought but it led to neither victory nor defeat. Emperor Bai had sent them a message and they’d left in time.

On their way back, these Great Emperors were still confused as they had yet to find out the cause and effect.

However, there was one person who understood.

The person was naturally Great Emperor Zi Xu!

He looked rather at ease but he was in distress.

“It seems that Emperor Bai has already realized that there is a spy among the higher-ups in Sanctuary Alliance, but I wonder if he will suspect me.”
