Chapter 2516
They never imagined that their seemingly casual words just now contained such a hidden story.
Dao Yi, Lu Xueqi, Xia Jiuyou, and the others standing to the side also looked surprised and suspicious, turning to look at Chen Xuan with their hearts full of doubts, wanting to get answers from him.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him with inquiring expressions, Chen Xuan knew there was no need to hide this matter.
Since everyone here was one of their own and there were no outsiders present, he put down his wine glass, his expression gradually becoming serious. He slowly began to speak, laying out his concerns and discoveries to everyone.
"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, do you still remember the one-on-one duel between the leaders in this Battle of Destiny?" Chen Xuan spoke slowly, his tone calm, yet carrying a subtle sharpness.
"At that time, we both suspected that the mysterious side had learned about our side's combat strength distribution, which is why we were defeated in the first few battles."
He continued, "To be honest, at first, I also felt that one or two defeats didn't mean anything. Maybe it was just bad luck, or maybe the opponent's commander just happened to be stronger. It wasn't enough to prove that there was something fishy going on, right?"
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, all the senior brothers and sisters nodded, their expressions solemn.
At the time, they did indeed think so, but they took it as a coincidence and did not think about it deeply.
"But the truth is not so." Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, his tone becoming more serious as he slowly said.
"When the all-out battle began and we truly fought against the strange forces, I realized that apart from the strange cultivators who came to our aid later, the Eternal Night side only had four or five Thousand Refined Puppet Demon commanders who were truly capable."
"Moreover, these four or five Thousand Refined Puppet Demon Commanders are clearly of varying strengths and have obvious differences in level."
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "But I was surprised to find that in the first few one-on-one battles, the combined forces sent by the Eternal Night side were exactly stronger than our commanders, no more, no less, just one level stronger—in every single battle, they precisely suppressed us. This is by no means a coincidence; it is too strange and too worthy of deep thought."
Chen Xuan's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Even Senior Sister Jiuyue, who had maintained a calm expression, was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Although she had witnessed the entire battle through the Void Mirror, she ultimately did not personally participate in the fight, and thus could not truly feel the strangeness of the opponent's combat power like Chen Xuan did, nor did she notice this subtle yet fatal flaw.
"So, Junior Brother, you mean..." Daoist Wuyue frowned, leaned forward slightly, his tone tinged with disbelief, and his voice was low.
"Did someone on our side of cultivators really leak the distribution of combat power and the strength of the leaders in this battle for destiny to the Eternal Night Mystery side?"
"How could such a thing happen?" Daoist Qiyue's face darkened, and he spoke urgently.
"Could it be that we failed to completely eliminate the strange infiltrators who originally infiltrated our cultivator civilization?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly shook his head, rejecting the guess himself, his tone firm:
"Impossible! That strange infiltration battle was personally led by Emperor Tianyan. Using the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect as a guide, he followed a clue and instantly killed all the strange race members lurking in our civilization, leaving not a trace. There couldn't possibly be any that escaped!"
"If that's the case, then the person who leaked the information can only be one of our own?" A senior sister, a Celestial King, asked gravely, her eyes filled with doubt and worry.
……
The senior students spoke up one after another, their expressions serious as they analyzed various possibilities, their tone full of doubt and urgency. However, no matter how they deduced the reasons, they could not find a reasonable answer or pinpoint the person who leaked the information.
After a moment, everyone gradually quieted down and turned their attention to Senior Sister Jiuyue.
The only person present was Senior Sister Jiuyue.
She is an immortal emperor who deduces the eternal Dao and the Great Dao. Even when she is within the first and second lines of defense, with the Great Emperor eternally suppressing the secrets of heaven, her deductive skills are still unhindered, allowing her to glimpse a corner of the future and understand its secrets.
