Chu Clan smiled a little. “You may also call it a gift of gratitude. After all, if not for you two elders, the Chu Clan would probably have been destroyed hundreds of times! For us to have survived thus far, the contributions of you two seniors were vital!”

Chu Yang was speaking plain truths.

If it weren’t for Moon Breeze and Wu Juecheng here, given the number of troubles Chu Yang had caused outside, the Chu Clan would long have been exterminated.

Naturally, if it weren’t for the three great masters arranged here by Chu Yang himself, he would not dare to be so wild outside! After all, the difference between having and not having to worry about the situation back home was great.

After Wu Juecheng left, the entire Chu Clan was protected by the Moon Breeze elders.

This was foolproof.

Yue Lingxue said gently, “Although we can’t directly participate in the war of the Nine Tribulations to conquer the world… We can still look after your family.”

There was sharp sword intent reflecting in his smile. “Of course in the final moment, we will… not sit back and watch! I’m sure those on the other side also won’t.”

Chu Yang fully understood what he meant.

The decisive moment was the final battle!

Then, they would stand against all the supreme masters of the Nine Super Clans and the law-enforcement officers’ accumulation over tens of thousands of years!

That battle would be the actual battle that would determine the situation of the Nine Heavens!

Yue Lingxue smiled. “If it’s just because of this, I actually feel quite ashamed. We’re just two patients staying here waiting to be treated.”

The three laughed.

“I came here today because of one more thing, I hope you can help resolve my confusion,” said Chu Yang.

Yue Lingxue seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and responded, “Tell me.”

“A spy!” Chu Yang replied softly.

Yue Lingxue chuckled interestingly. “Why did you have to come to me?”

Chu Yang smiled. “The Chu Clan has been established for quite a long time, but there’s not a super expert in the clan, not to mention many… So, even though there is a traitor, the ways would have been the same as before…”

“These people would never dream of how terrifying a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist is!” Chu Yang smiled. “With a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist here, as long as he is not in seclusion, no slight movement across thousands of miles could be hidden from him.”

He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “And Elder, with your integrity, honesty and gratitude, you’d naturally pay more attention to all the movements in the Chu Clan… Under such circumstances, if the traitor wanted to hide from the senior, that’s just a foolish dream!”

Yue Lingxue smiled.

Chu Yang was completely right.

Yue Lingxue had always been grateful to Chu Yang, not to mention now that the fulfillment of the husband and wife’s biggest wish relied upon Chu Yang. How could they not care about the Chu Clan?

Under such circumstances, it would actually be strange if they couldn’t discover the movement of the spy!

“But… It’s a little awkward to reveal the identity of that person.” Yue Lingxue smiled.

Chu Yang frowned.

“It’s the widow of your Second Uncle.” Cold light flashed in Yue Lingxue’s eyes as he said, “If it was someone else, I would have dealt with her on the spot… But since it was her, it was inconvenient for me as an outsider to intervene.”

Chu Yang’s brows knitted together tightly.

Chu Feilong’s widow, Wei!

Yue Lingxue said lightly, “Besides giving a reminder to Dong Wushang before their departure, I did nothing else.” His eyes flashed. “The troubles the Nine Tribulations encounter are ordeals that are sure to happen… It’s not good for me to intervene.”

There was a wry smile on Chu Yang’s face.

Here’s another person influenced by the Nine-Tribulations-cannot-die theory and this person was actually Yue Lingxue…

“How will you grow without experiencing wind and storms…” Yue Lingxue said softly, “It takes a lifetime of wind and storms for a tree to grow; and it takes a lifetime of bloody and dangerous battles for a strong martial artist to grow.”

Chu Yang nodded.

“If there’s time, I would like to meet your nine brothers!” Yue Lingxue smiled and said.

…

Chu Yang bid Moon Breeze farewell and turned back.

An intense struggle was going on in his mind.

Wei was Chu Feilong’s original wife and she gave Chu Feilong three sons.

When Chu Feilong died, Wei was extremely sorrowful, but after that, she didn’t actually do anything.

Yet the traitor actually turned out to be her?

Chu Yang suddenly remembered what his fourth uncle Chu Feiyan had once said, “Actually your second uncle was really very good at first. We four brothers had always been very united, but ever since your second uncle met your second aunt, he just… changed.”

“Especially after getting married, many of your second uncle’s actions are really hard to understand…”

“Your second uncle first met Wei when he was outside traversing the martial world…”

“And it was from then on that your second uncle really started to be weird.”

“It got worse and worse.”

“As for your affairs… It’s hard to say.”

At that time, Chu Feiyan spoke very vaguely and these contents were picked out from a whole night’s conversation by Chu Yang.

Then, he didn’t feel anything.

But now that Wei’s identity as a spy was exposed, Chu Yang finally realized what important information Chu Feiyan had given him back then.

…

“Wei?” Chu Xiongcheng’s face changed color. “Are you sure?”

“Elder Yue Lingxue’s divine sense has covered the Chu Clan this whole time and discovered it!” said Chu Yang. “During this period of time, Wei has gone out several times and sent the messenger pigeon out of Flat Mountain Ridge twice. The last time, she even had a secret conversation with someone at a tea house at Flat Mountain Ridge.”

“Then, this attack happened!” Chu Yang said with certainty, “So, Wei is the spy… There’s no doubt about that. The only thing that’s worth pondering is that if she’s a spy, which side is she from?”

Hearing that this matter was ascertained by Yue Lingxue, Old Master Chu had no more words.

If he didn’t believe the judgment of Yue Lingxue, then there’s nobody in the world that the old man would trust.

“How’s that worth guessing!” The old man blew his beard and his eyes glared. “The interception was done by the Xiao Clan, Wei is of course loyal to the Xiao Clan.”

“Not necessarily!” Chu Yang shook his head slowly. “Back then, the people that Chu Feilong colluded with were actually from the Ye Clan. Besides, it had been them all along… He was never seen with the Xiao Clan at all!”

“Why is it that after Chu Feilong died, Wei didn’t contact the Ye Clan but the Xiao Clan first?” Chu Yang said hoarsely, “This… is a big point of doubt!”

Hearing his words, Old Master Chu’s complexion also changed.

Firstly, when it came to Chu Feilong, the old man was still a little sad; secondly, to be watched by two dominant clans at the same time, the pressure was pretty overwhelming.

“How do you intend to deal with this matter?” asked Old Master Chu.

“I’m thinking,” said Chu Yang. “But as for the outcome… it depends on your wishes, Grandpa.”

Old Master Chu hesitated for a moment, stood up, clasped his hands behind his back for a long time, before finally saying, “If she… doesn’t repent… then… then…”

“Then let the husband and wife reunite!” The old man finished his sentence and left.

But Chu Yang knew from the heavy tone of the last sentence — The old master was heartbroken.

The second son became a traitor and died miserably. The two grandchildren also died afterward…

Now, even his son’s widow… had to…

If they were really all gone, then only the little grandson Chu Tengyun would be left in the world!

At such a young age, he would lose both parents and siblings, that too all in the hands of his own family…

He really didn’t know if this twelve-year-old kid would be able to make it through? Would he be driven mad by resentment because of this and go down the same path his father did?

Chu Feiling and Yang Ruolan were also dumbfounded.

When Chu Yang came out with his mind full, he went to Mo Tianji. To hand such intricate things to this guy was definitely suitable.

But halfway there, he encountered Yang Bao!

Old Master Yang had been waiting here deliberately for a long time to meet Chu Yang.

“What are you busy rushing around for every day? Not even your shadow can be seen, come, come with me, this old man will tell you something!” Old Master Yang pulled Chu Yang’s collar and took him along.

“Uh… please slow down a little, I’m almost out of breath…” Chu Yang wondered why this old man was looking for him.

I was going to pay you a visit tomorrow, but I didn’t expect you to come looking for me directly.

He dragged Chu Yang into a room. Old Madam Yang was waiting inside. When she saw Chu Yang coming in, she showered him with a bunch of praises and affection, before it was Old Master Yang’s turn to talk about serious business.

Old Master Yang asked mysteriously and cautiously, “What cultivation level are you at now?”

Chu Yang rubbed his nose. “It seems to be at third-grade Supreme Martial Artist…”

He had not expected that his grandson was actually a Supreme Martial Artist. Old Master Yang suddenly froze; after a long time, he clapped his hands and his beard lifted. “Damn it! Well done! You’re f*cking fast!”

Chu Yang was speechless.

Then the old man started to talk about serious business. “It’s about time that you can also ask the Moon Breeze elders to help with some things. At critical moments… In any case, it can’t be delayed anymore.”

“What?” Chu Yang asked.

“Do you remember what I told you about the Aspen Valley Purple Crystal mine?” Old Master Yang asked. Before Chu Yang could respond, he continued. “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard about it, it’s not too late for me to tell you now.”

Chu Yang, “…”

Old Master Yang took a deep breath and said, “Back then, when it was discovered, everyone thought it was just a small Purple Crystal mine and didn’t pay too much attention to it… But last year, something was suddenly dug out from inside… And then, I immediately felt it was not good! If it is real, then this place cannot be held properly by a mere Yang Clan.”

“What thing?” Chu Yang felt his heartbeat quicken, as though something earth-shattering was about to be revealed to him.

This feeling made Chu Yang perplexed!
