A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5890

Yan Lie suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee: “Sect Master, this disciple believes that the traitor is likely among those hired guards! Their origins are unknown, and they’ll do anything for profit!”

“Moreover… those who escaped in the end were all from our Earth Fire Pavilion; all the guards died in battle, leaving no way to verify the truth!”

This seemed reasonable, but Huo Ling’er abruptly looked up, glaring at Yan Lie: “Senior Brother Yan Lie, what do you mean?! David was also a hired guard! He risked his life to cover our retreat, almost dying in battle! And now you suspect him?!”

Yan Lie hurriedly said, “Junior Sister Ling’er, you misunderstand. I don’t suspect Fellow Daoist Chen. We all witnessed Fellow Daoist Chen risking his life to save us.”

“But the other guards are a different story… For example, Lin Feng and Shi Meng, who knows if they were spies from the Evil Path Hall, deliberately dying in battle to clear their names?”

“And that cultivator named Chi Yun, he’s also a demonic cultivator, it’s entirely possible he’s colluding with the Evil Path Hall.”

Yan Lie desperately tried to smear them.

“You!” Huo Ling’er trembled with anger.

Chi Yun Demon Lord coldly said, “You can suspect me of being a traitor, but right now you should be the one to be suspected.”

“What do you mean?” Yan Lie frowned.

“The Evil Path Hall’s ambush was so precise, this isn’t information that ordinary hired guards could obtain. Only the management of the Earth Fire Pavilion knew the retreat route, and…”

“And what?” Huo Fentian pressed.

“And,” Chi Yun Demon Lord slowly said, “during the battle at Burial Dragon Ravine, I noticed a detail: the Evil Path Hall cultivators seemed to intentionally avoid Deacon Yan Lie, rarely killing him. And Deacon Yan Lie’s attacks were always intentionally or unintentionally a beat slow, more like a performance.” As
