At this moment, all the Imperial Clan Prodigy Cultivators were dumbfounded, feeling utterly astonished.
The mole, it was actually the Huangfu Imperial Clan?
This was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations, and they couldn't believe it.
After all, the Huangfu Imperial Clan was no ordinary clan.
Huangfu Xuanyang was even the Pass Guardian of Yanggu Pass, one of the Nine Great Passes.
His achievements were known to all.
Such a Huangfu Imperial Clan, could actually be the mole?
Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Huangfu Chunjun's eyes.
Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "Young Lord Yun Xiao, that joke of yours is not funny at all."
Jun Xiaoyao said, "Do you think I look like I'm joking?"
The smile on Huangfu Chunjun's face faded slightly.
"Can you just slander me without any evidence, Young Lord Yun Xiao?"
"Besides, my father, Great Emperor Xuanyang, guards Yanggu Pass, and his achievements are known to all."
"By doing this, Young Lord Yun Xiao, you are slandering the Family of a Pass Guardian!"
The Huangfu Imperial Clan was not just any Imperial Clan.
Huangfu Xuanyang was the Pass Guardian of Yanggu Pass, one of the Nine Great Passes.
This identity was too special; to the beings of the Boundary Sea, it was an existence akin to a faith.
If such an existence were to be called a traitor or a mole, the impact would be extremely significant.
Jun Xiaoyao said indifferently, "Evidence? Who said I didn't have any?"
"The appearance of this Ba Clan Great Emperor is the evidence."
"It proves that you knew my plan and notified the Ba Clan, wanting to use the Ba Clan's hand to eliminate me," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Hearing this, Huangfu Chunjun shook his head and sneered.
"Young Lord Yun Xiao, your words are somewhat laughable."
"You invited all the Imperial Clans, so why are you so certain that it was I who notified the Ba Clan?"
Hearing Huangfu Chunjun's words, the other Imperial Clan Cultivators present also flickered their gazes.
That's right.
All the Imperial Clans had been invited, so logically, they should all be suspects.
Jun Xiaoyao finally smiled.
He looked at Huangfu Chunjun and said, "You are right, but..."
"Regarding the matter of summoning back Empress Ba, I only told you!"
One sentence.
The atmosphere instantly turned deathly silent!
The remaining smile on Huangfu Chunjun's face completely vanished, solidified, and froze!
And when the people of the other Imperial Clans heard Jun Xiaoyao's words, they were completely bewildered.
"What, summoning back Empress Ba?"
"What does this mean?"
"Didn't Young Lord Yun Xiao invite us here to investigate if there might be any weaknesses inside the world-destroying millstone?"
The people from the various Imperial Clans looked at one another.
Then, their gazes all turned simultaneously toward Huangfu Chunjun!
Huangfu Chunjun's expression was cold and stiff!
The corners of his eyes were twitching!
"You..."
Huangfu Chunjun could no longer control his composed expression and demeanor at this moment, his face stiffening.
He understood, he completely understood!
From beginning to end, Jun Xiaoyao had been scheming against him!
Scheming to root out the Imperial Clan mole!
If Empress Ba could be summoned back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Such a thing, even with only a one in ten thousand chance, absolutely could not be allowed to happen.
Therefore, if one were a mole, they would certainly want to use this opportunity to directly eliminate Jun Xiaoyao.
As for other reasons, compared to summoning back Empress Ba, they were simply insignificant.
It would also be impossible to easily find any weaknesses in the world-destroying millstone.
From start to finish, this was all a trap set by Jun Xiaoyao!
"But... why did you only scheme against me!"
Huangfu Chunjun stared fixedly at Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes gleaming with a scarlet rage.
Jun Xiaoyao then said, "It's very simple; actually, at the very beginning, I did suspect the Xiahou Imperial Clan and the Soul Imperial Clan."
The Xiahou Imperial Clan and the Yun Clan had never seen eye to eye, and they wanted to become the head of the Imperial Clans.
For such an ambitious Imperial Clan to turn dark and betray, that would be perfectly normal.
As for the Soul Imperial Clan, honestly, Jun Xiaoyao had almost determined it was that clan at the beginning.
After all, he had seen this routine too many times.
Just hearing the name, the Soul Imperial Clan didn't sound like anything good.
If the Soul Imperial Clan were the mole, it would be logical.
However, there was only one thing that truly made Jun Xiaoyao change his mind.
"Do you still remember a previous event?"
"Your father, the Pass Guardian of Yanggu Pass, encountered an ambush by a Ba Clan King."
"Afterwards, my father, Great Emperor Tianya, rushed to help, but ended up entangled with an Calamity Clan powerhouse, and has yet to return."
"And after that, you wanted to take over the authority of Zhenmo Pass."
"If you had truly succeeded, your father, Great Emperor Xuanyang, would have controlled two passes."
"Tell me, isn't that suspicious?"
"In the end, it's just that you were too impatient, eager to annex the authority of Zhenmo Pass."
Jun Xiaoyao's words made everyone present suddenly realize the truth.
Great Emperor Xuanyang fell into danger, and Great Emperor Tianya rushed to help.
In the end, Great Emperor Xuanyang returned, but Great Emperor Tianya was trapped instead.
Afterwards, they took over the authority of Zhenmo Pass, under the guise of taking responsibility for Great Emperor Tianya.
Jun Xiaoyao had perceived the scheme behind all of this.
If Great Emperor Xuanyang had really been allowed to control Zhenmo Pass.
By then, he would control two passes, and his authority would be immense.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao couldn't be one hundred percent sure that the Huangfu Imperial Clan was definitely the mole.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been this test and scheme.
Now, the fox's tail had revealed itself.
"Presumably, long ago, during the ancient Black Calamity, the Chu Imperial Clan was also schemed against by your Huangfu Imperial Clan."
"And later, you even framed my Yun Clan for it."
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Huangfu Chunjun and said indifferently.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Huangfu Chunjun.
Huangfu Chunjun, however, suddenly laughed.
"Hehe, Yun Xiao, I really underestimated you."
"Your true Prodigy-like nature does not lie in your talent or strength, but in your scheming."
"However... so what if you know the truth?"
"Can you escape the killing trap of the Ba Clan Great Emperor?"
Huangfu Chunjun stared coldly at Jun Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with extreme killing intent.
Jun Xiaoyao was like a great mountain, pressing down on him so hard he couldn't breathe.
Whether it was talent, Realm, strength, or even intelligence.
He was completely crushed by Jun Xiaoyao in every aspect.
This feeling was too suffocating.
Jun Xiaoyao's existence made all the other Prodigies feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
And hearing Huangfu Chunjun's words.
Jun Xiaoyao also smiled.
"Huangfu Chunjun, you are indeed naive; do you really think a Great Emperor can kill me?"
Although this Ba Clan Great Emperor's aura was indeed very strong.
It was only at the level of an ordinary Great Emperor.
It wasn't that Huangfu Chunjun or the Ba Clan underestimated Jun Xiaoyao.
It was just that the gap between a Quasi-Emperor and a Great Emperor was indeed like a chasm.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao was able to slay the Ba Clan's Great Emperor Kou Lie by relying on favorable timing, location, and circumstances.
Therefore, this time, they only thought that one Ba Clan Great Emperor was enough to kill Jun Xiaoyao.
But, Huangfu Chunjun could never have imagined.
Having broken through to the Fourth Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, and being a dual Quasi-Emperor in both Realm and Physical Body.
Plus the strength of Jun Xiaoyao after the merging of his two bodies, just how terrifying it truly was.
Not to mention manifesting his Divine Dharma Body, even relying solely on Jun Xiaoyao's own cultivation strength was enough to fight a Ba Clan Great Emperor!
