Chapter 571: Is the Ghost n nning to Flee?


    Based on the results, Spy #2''s n was undoubtedly sessful, implying the Ghost n''s n had failed.


    Out of everyone, only Spy #2 managed to escape.


    "Yijiao, what exactly happened? Why are you the only one who returned?"


    In a hall of the Ghost n, the number of Ghost n elites had been reduced by half. Their gazes were firmly fixed on Spy #2, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.


    They had been waiting for Yijiao to bring back good news. Instead, they were greeted with a thunderous shock.


    Everyone was killed except for Yijiao.


    "Yijiao, why did all five ninth-order Ghost n members die, and only you survived?" Some looked at Spy #2 with disdain, their words filled with barbs.


    This immediately made the other Ghost n members suspect that there was something wrong with Spy #2.


    Normally, the most likely survivors would be the ninth-order Ghost n members. After all, Spy #2 was merely an eighth-order member. How could he possibly survive?Spy #2 had anticipated this line of questioning. He calmly replied, "My lord, I single-handedly orchestrated this n, including the human spies. Only I was aware of it all. There''s no way the n could''ve been leaked. My only question is: how did the humans find out about my n?"


    Spy #2''s counter-question shocked everyone. They hadn''t considered the possibility of a leak. Knowing about the n and it being leaked could implicate everyone present.


    There being a traitor within the Ghost n was a grave issue.


    "Yijiao, are you sure the humans became aware of our n?" inquired the top-ranking Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master with a heavy tone.


    "After we entered the city, following the original n, five ninth-order Ghost n members were to assassinate the human Marshal. But something happened in between. They didn’t engage with the Marshal, instead, they vanished..."


    "Vanished? Even the human Marshal couldn''t kill five ninth-order Ghost n members instantly!" A Ghost n member interrupted.


    Spy #2, undeterred, responded, "I''m not sure what happened. They were supposed to engage the human Marshal within three minutes, but five minutes passed without a sound. I had no choice but to lead the remaining forces to assassinate Prince Hewlett."


    "Go on," said Ghost Master, nodding slightly.


    "When we located Prince Hewlett, he wasn’t asleep. He looked as though he was expecting us. That''s when I suspected a traitor among us. Later, some even turned on theirrades. I became more convinced. I even suspect there might be more than one traitor!"


    His words stirred the hall into chaos. The Ghost n hadn''t imagined such deep infiltration. Some brighter Ghost n members recalled when they were dominant and humans had many traitors. Now the situations had reversed, so it wasn’t surprising for Ghost n to have traitors.


    Spy #2''s words sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of the Ghost n elites.


    "So, how did you manage to escape?" Ghost Master''s question once again shifted all attention to Spy #2. If he answered incorrectly, they might instantly kill him.


    "If I could escape, it''s due to Lord God’s protection!"


    The Ghost n was taken aback. They didn''t expect Spy #2 to invoke the deity. Were they to use him of lying? Wouldn''t that be equivalent to denying their faith?


    "You''re saying Lord God protected you, and that''s how you escaped safely?" Even the Ghost Master was incredulous.


    The prevailing belief among them was only the Proxy could hear the deity''s voice and receive its protection.


    "Yes," said Spy #2, without a hint of embarrassment.


    The Ghost n decided to summon the Proxy to verify Spy #2''s im.


    Upon arrival, the Proxy, already briefed, addressed Spy #2, "Only the Proxy can receive Lord God’s blessing. If you say you’ve received it, it means you''ve be the new Proxy. I''ll pray to Lord God to verify your identity."


    He began praying, ignoring everyone else.


    Su Chen, watching in secret, knew the so-called prayer was simply activating a fragment of Spectral Moth consciousness within the Ghost n tomunicate with its main entity.


    As the Proxy prayed, no one noticed a figure appearing above the hall: Libra! Su Chen had sent her to support Spy #2''s lie. If it worked, great. If not, with theirbined strength, they could easily escape.


    If Su Chen weren''t wary of them using Spectral Moth''s power for ast stand, he''d have wiped them out already.


    Whatever happened during the prayer remained unknown to the other Ghost n members. When the Proxy opened his eyes, he proimed, "What he said is true. A new Proxy has been born!"


    A smirk yed on Su Chen''s lips. Spy #2 had sessfully infiltrated the highest ranks of the Ghost n. It wouldn’t be long before he took control.


    However, just dayster, Spy #2 ryed urgent news.


    The Ghost n was nning to flee!


    The Ghost n leadership had seen the tide turning. With their current strength, resisting humans was increasingly difficult. If they didn''t leave now, they might not get another chance.


    The n was to use human warships to escape Yan Yun Star.


    With the Underworld upied by Libra-led former Ghost n members and the surface world increasingly controlled by humans, their living space was diminishing.


    If this news spread, the first to face internal strife would be the Ghost n.


    At Su Chen’s signal, the news quickly disseminated. The Ghost n armies facing off against humans immediately fell into chaos.
