Chapter 0538: Betrayer

He's related to Heavenly Court?"

Su Qi looked at the figure, he looked no different from ordinary people, the city guards in Shaluo City were all ordinary people in the local area, there was not a single monk, and Shaluo City had not experienced any war for many years, the biggest battle on weekdays was to fight the nearby sand bandits, in the case of not being able to get a lot of military exploits, most of these generals were born in Shaluo City and the children of wealthy families, and they all relied on their qualifications to survive.

The chief and deputy city lords of Shaluo City and the great commanders of the city guards are all in this position, and the magnates here are also inextricably linked with the ten great cultivators who founded Shaluo City, either the descendants of their disciples or the desert people who have received their favor.

The deputy commander mentioned by Emperor Yun should be the same, although Shaluo City is an important trading town, and the residents are very welcoming, but it is actually very xenophobic, if you come to do business, it is fine, but if you want to move here, you will be subjected to extremely severe tests, and it is difficult to hold any official position in the city, at most it is to fight in the city guards.

"Whether it has anything to do with Heavenly Court is unknown, it can only be said that there is a high possibility, and this person has already worked for a certain force ten years before the destruction of Shaluo City," Emperor Yun nodded, This person's name is Zhao Zhi, the ancestors of the Zhao family have lived in Shaluo City for thousands of years, and they are considered to be the more powerful clans in Shaluo City, so Zhao Zhi is qualified to ascend to the position of deputy commander, after the destruction of Shaluo City, most of the classics in the city have been burned, and a small number of those who survived were plundered by the Great Jin, and some of these classics finally fell into the hands of the Chaoyun Empire。 ”

"And the Zhao family also perished in Shaluo City, only two or three clansmen escaped, was plundered by the Jin army, the Zhao family has since declined, even if Zhao Zhi defected to other forces to obtain greater benefits, he should also consider the family, at least move some of the clansmen out of Shaluo City in advance. ”

Su Qi speculated, "Maybe he doesn't have a good relationship with the family?"

Emperor Yun shook his head, "It is impossible for a member who does not have a good relationship with the family to ascend to the position of deputy commander with the help of the power of the family. ”

"Does that Heavenly Court have a way to plot against an ordinary person?" Su Qi frowned, "Didn't you say that the Great Emperors sealed the entire world before leaving?"

"It may not be done in person," Emperor Yun turned around and glanced at Su Qi, "You don't think that there are never traitors in the human race, do you?" Loyalty and betrayal are like twins, always accompanied by each other. ”

Su Qi was stunned, and was immediately shocked, there were traitors in the war with Heavenly Court?

But soon he calmed down again, Emperor Yun was right, something similar would happen to any intelligent race, there are many loyal people, but there are also people with two hearts, as long as there are desires and fears, there will be betrayals.

"Are there a lot of people like this?" asked Su Qi a little dryly.

"Fortunately and sadly, I don't know how many traitors there are. There was a faint sentimentality in Emperor Yun's voice, "In the war, almost every Great Emperor has personally killed traitors, but the human race is still not clear, there is always a shadow of the heavenly court, especially since both parties are cultivators, there are too many means to lure others, whether it is immortality, power, threats, or some kind of Taoism, it can easily make a person betray their race." ”

"Among the sixteen, or go ......further," Su Qi hesitated slightly, but after hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Are there any traitors in the Great Emperor?"

Emperor Yun was silent with his hands behind his back for a long time before he slowly spoke, " Only the Emperor God Palace of the sixteen families was confirmed to have a problem, and they were eroded by the Butterfly of the Burial World, and had nothing to do with the Heavenly Court, and the remaining fifteen families, eight of them declined after the thousand-year war, although they were not destroyed, but they were no longer strong back then, among these eight families, there were both sects that provoked wars, and there were also sects that were not guilty, but the sects that were affected, it is difficult to find out whether there were traitors among them, because most of the cultivators who participated in the war died in the war, and three of the remaining seven families were supporters of the Chaoyun Empire, I have a lot of friends with them, and it is clear that they are not traitors, and the remaining five are the ultimate winners of that war, and the only one that makes me doubtful, is a sect called the Burning Thunder Sect, this sect belongs to the stability maintenance faction among the sixteen families, and is one of the most powerful promoters of maintaining the Holy Alliance, but later I found out that this sect had a lot of strange actions in that war. ”

"After the collapse of the Holy Alliance, the world was in chaos, this sect first formed an alliance with the Astrological Sect, and after the Astrological Sect declined slightly, it quickly rebelled to the rest of the camps, this happened three times, the last time it joined the faction of me and the Chaoyun Empire, if they are grass on the wall, or have a keen sense of smell for crises, it is not unavoidable, but it is too much of a coincidence, and in that period of more than a thousand years, most of the targets of their attacks are small sects, and they have collected countless exercises....... For a big sect with the top martial arts of the human race, this approach is also very strange, but after all, I have no evidence, and I can only keep observing for the time being. ”

"The Burning Thunder Sect continued to prosper for thousands of years, and on a rainy night it collapsed, and the entire mountain peak was swallowed by thunder, and none of them survived, but unfortunately, at that time, the Emperors and I once again set foot on the boundary road, and we did not know the real reason for the destruction of the Burning Thunder Sect. ”

"As for our twelve Great Emperors...... Emperor Yun turned around, he was about half a head taller than Su Qi, with a ring-shaped earring on his left ear, on which was engraved a small ancient word 'Yun', which was mostly the custom of the Chaoyun Empire, he stared into Su Qi's eyes, and said word by word, "There must be two betrayers." ”

Su Qi was startled, and a chill rushed up Su Qi's back, Emperor Yun's words were very decisive, indicating that he was very sure, but he didn't say the names of the two emperors, which showed that he probably didn't know who the betrayer was.

However, there are two of them, accounting for one-sixth, which is a lot.

Su Qi licked the corners of his mouth, "What went wrong in the last war?"

"Well, something went wrong," Emperor Yun's expression was serious, and the killing intent on his body was extremely heavy, "I don't know who the betrayer is, but our plan has been revealed, and several Terran armies have been wiped out, and even the escape portal as a last resort has been known by Heavenly Court, and it almost didn't work, but this is not the biggest reason why I am sure that there are traitors." ”

"What's that?" asked Su Qi.

A grim smile tugged at the corner of Emperor Yun's mouth, "Do you know how I died?"
