ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 86: Where is father?!



The sudden change didn't just affect their battle; it rippled across other battlefields as well. In the Xiao Clan's battle, Nangong Zhi, Yan Zijing, and Lin Guiyan were jointly suppressing Xiao Xifeng.

"You!" The sudden turn of events caused their expressions to shift drastically. Yan Zijing immediately flew away, creating distance between himself and the other two, eyeing them warily.

"Brother Yan, I can assure you that I am not with them," Lin Guiyan said, his expression shifting as he flew away from Nangong Zhi. His gaze fell on Helian Kuang's body, discarded like trash on the ground, sending a chill down his spine.

"I am also not with them! Don't fall for their tricks; let's finish this guy first!" Nangong Zhi said, also feeling a chill run down his spine as he glanced at Helian Kuang's tragic fate. Although he warned them, he still regarded Lin Guiyan warily. If there was a traitor among them, Lin Guiyan was the most suspicious one.

Yan Zijing was being attacked by Xiao Xifeng, so the odds of him being a traitor were very low. Plus, Yan Zijing was one of Duke Huai's recent supporters, he was the one who first proposed making Duke Huai the new emperor.

It was almost impossible to believe he would betray them.

"Hahaha, one of you is a traitor! Once you lower your guards, it will be your ending!" Xiao Xifeng laughed loudly, the wind howling around him as he moved like a ghost.

The Xiao Clan was most proficient in controlling wind profound energy, making their speed and movement techniques the best among the Twelve Families.

"Hmph! Bluffing! I will take your head today!" Lin Guiyan scoffed, attacking as he spoke to Yan Zijing. "Brother Yan, I am not a traitor! We can't fall into their trap; the situation is pressing, we need to kill this guy first!" To show his sincerity, he turned his back to Yan Zijing while keeping his guard up against Nangong Zhi.

He too believed that if there was a traitor among them, the most likely candidate was Nangong Zhi. Yan Zijing was a victim in this situation, he was the first to be attacked by Xiao Xifeng, and he had been sucking up to Duke Huai for a while; the chance of him being a traitor was almost zero.

"You are right! We can't fall into their trap. I shall believe you, Brother Lin," Yan Zijing affirmed decisively. He nodded firmly and held his spear aloft, trusting it in the air. The space trembled, and an image of a sharp spear appeared before Xiao Xifeng.

Bang!

The spear pierced through Xiao Xifeng's body, but it faded slowly like a mirage, leaving a huge hole in the ground. At the same time, Xiao Xifeng appeared dozens of meters away, the earlier attack had landed on his afterimage.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmph! I want to see how you can keep on running," Lin Guiyan snorted and attacked as well, he was relieved that Yan Zijing chose to believe him.

"Too slow, very slow! Even if you spend the whole day, you won't be able to catch me, hahaha!" Xiao Xifeng dodged the attack and laughed loudly. "Be careful! Who knows when my partner will backstab you, hahaha!" He didn't forget to sow discord between them while dodging their attacks.

He was so fast they could barely even land half an attack on him.

"Hmph! Brother Yan Zijing, don't fall for his tricks! He's using these petty tactics because he can't—" Lin Guiyan scoffed and attacked, speaking to Yan Zijing to assure him while keeping his guard against Nangong Zhi.

Swosh!

However, at this moment, a spear suddenly pierced through his body from the back. At the same time, Xiao Xifeng, who had been dodging, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented speed! He appeared in front of him with two green daggers in hand. He stabbed Lin Guiyan in the stomach, rupturing his profound veins!

"You! How could it be you?!" Nangong Zhi exclaimed in horror. He had been on guard against Lin Guiyan, keeping his distance, but by the time he reacted, it was already too late, he was too far away to help in time.

"You! You?! How..." Lin Guiyan slowly turned around to look at Yan Zijing, his eyes filled with shock, bewilderment, and anger. His expression was like someone who was boned by his single friend who always liked to tell gay jokes.

He couldn't believe that he had been backstabbed by him.

Clang!

Soon, Lin Guiyan felt his strength fading, and his dual swords fell to the ground with a clang as his consciousness began to slip away.

"Brother Lin, I believe you're not a traitor. I truly believe you; don't worry," Yan Zijing spoke calmly before casually throwing Lin Guiyan's body to the ground.

The Yan Clan was called the 'Divine Spear Clan,' and all the members of that family used the spear as their weapon. The reason they were the weakest of the twelve guardian families before the decline of the Yun Family was that they prioritized their clan's Imperious Spear Art over cultivating their profound energy.

They were not weak or cowardly; from the start, this was his scheme to lower the guards of the other families, allowing him to succeed in backstabbing them at the critical moment. "Let's finish him off and deal with the others," Xiao Xifeng said, glancing at Nangong Zhi. "Trash! Bunch of ungrateful trash! Even if you gather more trash, you will still be nothing more than trash!" In the third battle of the Mu Clan, Mu Feiyan faced three patriarchs at the same time, yet he still maintained the upper hand.

He unleashed a punch, blue profound energy shooting from his arm and crashing toward Su Xiangnan, while with a kick, he sent Bai Yi flying away.

"Damn it!" Chiyang Bailie, who had also been sent flying, coughed up blood as he stabilized himself. When he saw Yan Zijing backstab Lin Guiyan, he looked at Su Xiangnan and Bai Yi in horror and backed away. Unfortunately, a blue sphere shot at him from the side, cutting off his retreat.

Suddenly, everyone's expression fell when they saw Yan Zijing backstab Lin Guiyan. They quickly moved away, putting distance between them.

"Why are you looking at me like that?! I'm not a traitor!" Su Xiangnan's face sank as he fended off Mu Feiyan's attack, shouting in anger.

"..."

..." The others looked at each other wearingly, their expression was darker than under the bed. The situation was increasingly bad, Duke Huai was suppressed, and the other clans were in a bad situation; it was a matter of time before they would lose.

If a traitor were to appear among them, they would really have no hope then!

"We can't afford to be distracted like this; we are barely holding against this guy!" Su Xiangnan persuaded them while resisting the attack, injuries accumulating on his body as he

spoke bitterly.

Duke Zhong was having a hard time resisting the golden fire. When he saw Yan Zijing's despicable move, he was shocked and scared witless, glancing at the Dukes with weary eyes. Suddenly, at that very moment when he was slightly distracted, the golden flames attacking him grew many times stronger, surging like a tsunami and engulfing him! "Agh!!!! Uncle Han, Duke Huai, save me!" he cried in agony, shouting for help.

Duke Han, who was at the 6th Level Sovereign Profound Realm, rushed forward to help him. However, at that very moment, one of the dukes who was resisting Huan Caiyi's attack, Duke Duke Xuan, charged into the flames. The fire parted for him, creating a path, and he intercepted Duke Han!

"Damn it! Traitor, fuck off!" Duke Han cursed anxiously, desperate to rush in and help his nephew. Unfortunately, the duke in front of him blocked his way.

"Noo! Agh!" Soon, Duke Zhong was burned alive under the watchful eyes of Duke Han, Duke

Huai, and other Dukes.

Although Yun Wuji told the other clans to keep their enemies alive, he didn't stop Huan Caiyi from killing them if she wanted to.

Duke Xuan who was obstructing Duke Han smiled grimly and retreated back behind the

golden flames.

Seeing three of his allies fall, Duke Huai shouted at Huan Caiyi hysterically, "Huan Caiyi! How

could you be this insidious?!"

"Heh, when it comes to treachery and insidiousness, who can compare to you and your father?" Huan Caiyi scoffed coldly, her gaze fixed on him and the other Dukes.

Looking at them banding together to resist her, she felt a deep sadness. She had ruled for

more than 150 years, doing her best for the Illusory Demon Realm. Yet these Dukes, who had enjoyed everything because of her and her clan, most of them betrayed her to side with a dirty

scum like Duke Huai.

Truly, the royal family is the most heartless. Even after giving them all these riches and resources, they were still not satisfied and wanted even more.

"That's right, father! Where is father?!" Duke Huai shouted desperately. He had lost all calmness and composure, an uneasy feeling gnawing at him after his father had failed to

appear for such a long time.

"Your father went to buy milk, hehe," Huan Caiyi said with a chuckle. She was not fond of expressing her emotions; this was the first time in a hundred years that she actually laughed.

She was laughing because she enjoyed her revenge!

She saw this phrase in Yun Wuji's library, but she didn't know what it meant.
