Chapter 399: Devil's Order

Seeing the disbelief on their faces, Zhang Hao smiled slightly and released the images from the memory orb.

When Lan Haiping and the others saw the images recorded in the memory orb, they were all stunned. This was indeed what happened outside the Shenlong Secret Realm back then.

From how Gu Yunfei attacked Zhang Hao to the scene of Gu Yunfei being killed, everything was clearly recorded in this memory orb.

Gu Taiyi looked at Zhang Hao and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even so, you shouldn't have killed my cousin."

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Taiyi and laughed mockingly, "So, you mean I should have just stood there and let your cousin kill me?"

Gu Taiyi was speechless. He let out a cold snort and stopped talking. Although he hated Zhang Hao to the bone, he was indeed in the wrong on this matter.

Li Shibang sighed. Although he had known the ins and outs of this matter for a long time. After all, for the Academy Alliance, a large force, it was very simple to investigate things clearly. However, as long as there was no evidence, it would be very simple for him to arbitrarily convict an ordinary student. But the other party presented solid evidence, which complicated things. After all, as the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Academy, he couldn't just act unreasonably. As Tianwu Academy was one of the Northern Region Three Great Academies, the Academy Alliance didn't want to offend it too much.

"Alright, let's stop here."

Li Shibang made the final decision.

Gu Taiyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing Li Shibang's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Li Shibang then looked at Lan Haiping and said, "This Dean came this time because he heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared in the Shenlong Secret Realm. Does Dean Lan have any clues?"

In fact, this was Li Shibang's purpose for coming to Tianwu Academy this time. The Heavenly Demon Sect was absolutely a taboo on the True Martial Continent. All the major Sects on the True Martial Continent were very wary of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Especially since the Academy Alliance is backed by the Northern Region Ten Great Sects. The original intention of establishing the Academy Alliance was to organize the Colleges in the Northern Region to jointly encircle and suppress the Heavenly Demon Sect. However, later, with the suppression of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it became an organization that was superior to all the Colleges. However, in recent years, there have been signs of the Heavenly Demon Sect resurfacing in the Northern Region. Therefore, when they heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect had appeared in the Shenlong Secret Realm this time, the Academy Alliance attached so much importance to it.

Lan Haiping shook his head and said, "This Dean doesn't have much information here either. Regarding the appearance of the Heavenly Demon Sect, this Dean only heard about it from the students of this Origin. However, asking Zhang Hao about this matter should provide a clearer understanding."

Li Shibang looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Do you have any information about the Heavenly Demon Sect? Could you please describe the specific situation of the Heavenly Demon Sect within the Shenlong Secret Realm?"

Zhang Hao nodded and told Li Shibang the information he knew about the Heavenly Demon Sect. Of course, Zhang Hao kept the matter of enslaving the Blood Robe to himself. After all, this was too shocking.

When Zhang Hao mentioned that there were Heavenly Demon Sect infiltrators within the Colleges, Li Shibang's expression changed. He looked at Zhang Hao and said in a deep voice, "Kid, you need to be responsible for what you say. Don't spout nonsense."

Gu Taiyi also snorted coldly and said, "That's right. You're slandering the instructors of the Colleges like this. What is your purpose? I suspect you might very well be a spy for the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Li Shibang looked at Zhang Hao coldly, as if he somewhat agreed with Gu Taiyi's words.

Zhang Hao suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Gu Taiyi and said somewhat mockingly, "Now I know what it means for the wicked to complain first. But unfortunately, I do have evidence for what I just said."

"What evidence?"

Li Shibang looked at Zhang Hao, his expression somewhat moved.

"I don't care what evidence you have. You're just spouting nonsense."

Gu Taiyi looked at Zhang Hao with some disdain.

Zhang Hao took out a token. This token was exactly what Zhang Hao obtained from Gu Yunfei's ring; it was the Heavenly Demon Token. Originally, when Zhang Hao obtained this Heavenly Demon Token this time, he was planning to give it to Lan Haiping.

Li Shibang looked at the token in Zhang Hao's hand and said somewhat shocked, "Heavenly Demon Token."

Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said, "This is the Heavenly Demon Token. I believe Deputy Alliance Leader Li should know this item."

"Where did you get this item?" Li Shibang looked at Zhang Hao and asked with a serious expression.

Zhang Hao said calmly, "I got this item from Gu Yunfei's ring. Presumably, Deputy Alliance Leader Li also knows that I killed Gu Yunfei, right? His ring fell into my hands."

Gu Taiyi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he angrily said to Zhang Hao, "Slander! This is purely slander. Who knows if this Heavenly Demon Token is yours, and you're framing my cousin?"

Zhang Hao looked at Gu Taiyi as if he were looking at an idiot and said, "I wonder how Ge Xia obtained this position as the Academy Alliance's Alliance Leader. This Heavenly Demon Token has a master recognition function. If you don't believe me, just ask Deputy Alliance Leader Li to check if the spiritual imprint inside this Heavenly Demon Token belongs to Gu Yunfei, and you'll know."

"Ah!" Gu Taiyi's expression became somewhat awkward upon hearing this. Only then did he remember that the Heavenly Demon Token did indeed have this function.

Li Shibang immediately checked the function of that Heavenly Demon Token. Indeed, as Zhang Hao said, there was Gu Yunfei's spiritual imprint inside.

Li Shibang let out an angry snort and said, "I never thought this Gu Yunfei was actually an infiltrator from the Heavenly Demon Sect. He's simply depraved!"

Zhang Hao said with a serious expression, "Based on the information I obtained from the Heavenly Demon Sect captives, the number of Heavenly Demon Sect infiltrators within the Colleges is definitely not small. I believe that people who were usually very close to Gu Yunfei are very likely to be Heavenly Demon Sect infiltrators. Deputy Alliance Leader Li should investigate thoroughly; there might be gains."

As Zhang Hao said this, his gaze occasionally shifted towards Gu Taiyi.

Gu Taiyi also became angry and said furiously to Zhang Hao, "What do you mean by that, Ge Xia?"

Zhang Hao said somewhat innocently, "I'm just stating the facts. Why is Elder Gu so agitated? Is it because he has a guilty conscience?"

"You, stop slandering people!" Gu Taiyi was almost spitting blood.

Gu Taiyi never expected that this time he came to cause trouble for Zhang Hao, not only did he fail to cause trouble, but he also ended up in a mess. Seeing Li Shibang's gaze, it seemed as if he was truly swayed by the other party's words. This made Gu Taiyi even more panicked. In a few years, an Alliance Leader of the Academy Alliance would step down. He was also a strong contender. If Gu Yunfei's matter affected him this time, he would have no hope of competing for Deputy Alliance Leader.

"Deputy Alliance Leader, I've been wronged! I truly didn't know beforehand that Gu Yunfei was an infiltrator from the Heavenly Demon Sect. His matter has nothing to do with me!" Gu Taiyi said agitatedly.
