Chapter 6629 The Apostate

Wow!

When Xiao Chen took out the spirit tablet that represented his identity, the powerful man who had just questioned him changed his expression and immediately knelt on the ground.

"I was blind and ignorant, please forgive me, Master..."

"Hmph, bring Cui Ming to see me!"

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, put away the token, and led Bai Ye and the others, swaggering inside.

This powerful man dared not delay, so he quickly got up, sent a telepathic message, and then hurried after him.

Once they entered the valley, they found that many people were already waiting.

"Your subordinate greets Master Huang."

An elderly man with gray hair and a hooked nose stepped forward and bowed.

He is the head of this branch, Cui Ming.

"Master Huang."

Immediately afterwards, two more people came forward and greeted Xiao Chen.

"Ah."

Xiao Chen ignored Cui Ming and nodded to the two of them instead.

These two men were Huang Sanyu's men, used to keep Cui Ming in check.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue... Within the Holy Heaven Sect, there are also numerous factions, each with its own territory.

"Master Huang, what's going on?"

One of them looked at Xiao Chen and the others' rather disheveled appearance and asked in surprise.

"The situation at Wangjiang City has failed. The sect leader has ordered me to come here to resolve some issues."

Xiao Chen said coldly.

"What? It failed?"

The few people who knew what Huang Sanyu was going to do all changed their expressions.

"Master Huang, what are your orders?"

While Cui Ming was surprised, he also vaguely sensed something was amiss.

"Tell me, why did we fail?"

Xiao Chen finally looked at Cui Ming, his voice even colder.

Why did it fail?

Cui Ming was taken aback. What did that mean? How the hell should I know why I failed?

"Because there's a traitor within the Holy Church, someone has betrayed us!"

Xiao Chen stared at Cui Ming, his killing intent palpable.

"Therefore, the leader ordered me to come here to deal with the traitor!"

"what?"

Cui Ming's heart sank, and his bad premonition grew stronger.

"Master Huang, who is the traitor?"

"What do you say?"

Xiao Chen's gaze was like a knife.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, even the slowest person realized something and looked at Cui Ming.

Is he a traitor to the Holy Church?

"Master Huang, you accuse me of being a traitor, but what evidence do you have?"

Cui Ming was furious.

"Xu Pingbo was the one who introduced the Holy Church, wasn't he? Xu Pingbo has already confessed."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he took out the token.

"Today, I have come on the orders of the leader. As for the rest, you can tell the leader yourself when you see him!"

"Impossible! I need to communicate with the sect leader telepathically!"

Cui Ming's expression changed again. The sect leader had personally ordered him to be captured?

"Speaking to the sect leader? You...are you worthy? Let's talk when we meet."

Xiao Chen paused, then his voice grew louder.

"Cui Ming and Xu Pingbo colluded with Qingdi and others to betray the Holy Sect..."

"I didn't! How could I possibly betray the Holy Church!"

Cui Ming interrupted Xiao Chen. Although he and Huang Sanyu were on opposing sides before, they had maintained a respectable relationship.

He didn't expect that Huang Sanyu would take him down as soon as he arrived.

"What, are you questioning the cult leader?"

Xiao Chen's killing intent grew even more intense.

"No, I... I really didn't betray the Holy Church."

Upon hearing the word 'cult leader,' Cui Ming calmed down somewhat, but a sense of fear also arose in his heart.

In the Holy Heaven Sect, no one dares to disobey the leader's words.

But he was unwilling to let him surrender so easily.

"Men, seize Cui Ming!"

Xiao Chen was too lazy to waste words with Cui Ming. As long as he could take down Cui Ming, he could control this branch in the shortest amount of time!

"Yes!"

As the two old men spoke, they were about to step forward and seize Cui Ming.

If Cui Ming is taken down, then the two of them will take control of this branch!

Regardless of whether Cui Ming is a traitor or not, this is a great thing for them.

"What are you going to do!"

Upon seeing this, Cui Ming roared angrily, his fighting spirit rising.

"Without the leader's decree, who dares to arrest me?! Leader Huang, your words alone are not enough!"

"What, are you going to rebel? Or do you intend to defect from the Holy Church?"

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes; Cui Ming's resistance was also part of his plan.

"Huang Sanyu, I suspect you're using this incident to purge your rivals..."

Cui Ming glared at Xiao Chen and gritted his teeth.

"Unless you send a telepathic message to the cult leader, I will not surrender."

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Xiao Chen didn't bother with any more words and suddenly raised his hand.

"Anyone who dares to stand with Cui Ming will be killed as well!"

"Yes!"

The two old men responded and took the initiative to attack.

"Damn it."

Cui Ming retreated rapidly, feeling increasingly uneasy about what was going on, and knew he couldn't just surrender.

boom!

The war broke out in an instant.

As the head of the branch, Cui Ming naturally had a group of trusted confidants.

Although Huang Sanyu said that Cui Ming betrayed the Holy Church, as his confidants... they do not recognize the leader, they only recognize Cui Ming!

So when Cui Ming made his move, they all rushed forward as well.

"Fine, fine, you actually dare to make a move? You want to rebel? Then kill them all!"

Xiao Chen's voice was cold and stern.

"Kill without mercy!"

"Kill me!"

The two old men glanced at Xiao Chen and immediately gave the order.

Anyway, no matter what happens, Huang Sanyu will take the blame. They can use this opportunity to purge this branch so that they can completely seize power!

The order threw the Holy Heaven Sect branch into complete chaos.

Apart from a few neutrals and people from other factions, everyone was caught up in this turmoil, with deafening battles and rivers of blood.

"Do you think Cui Ming has truly betrayed his faith?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

"This should be true. Huang Sanyu wouldn't dare to say anything out of turn... It's not exactly a secret, it will spread very quickly."

The person next to him said.

“If Cui Ming did not betray the religion, and Huang Sanyu used this incident to eliminate dissidents, then it wouldn’t be right for the higher-ups to accept it… even if he holds a high position of power, it still wouldn’t work.”

"Yes."

Others nodded in agreement.

"So it's true that Cui Ming betrayed the sect, and the sect leader ordered his arrest."

"..."

Just as these people were whispering among themselves, Xiao Chen suddenly looked over.

"I was ordered by the sect leader to capture Cui Ming. Now that Cui Ming has rebelled, do you want to help me capture him, or do you want to stand with him and betray the sect?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone's expression changed drastically. This was forcing them to take sides and not letting them stay out of it.

Standing with Cui Ming, is that treason?

Once this serious accusation is leveled, the consequences could be dire.

"Master Huang, since Cui Ming has betrayed the sect, we should naturally capture him and hand him over to the venerable Master for disposal."

Someone took the lead and charged out.

"That's right, Cui Ming, why don't you surrender?!"

"..."

More and more people joined, and Cui Ming's camp, which had initially held a slight advantage, was immediately suppressed, suffering countless casualties.

"I did not betray my faith. Huang Sanyu is talking nonsense. You..."

Upon seeing this, Cui Ming roared in anger.

“Old Cui, Master Huang is one of the vice masters, so we have to listen to him.”

An old man said calmly.

"Why don't you just surrender?"
