194 Chapter 194

The smile on Yan Huo's face twitched a bit, but that twitch was so small that no one had noticed it.

Yan Huo didn't reveal anything as he said in a confused voice, "Brother Lin, is there something you don't like about the soup? You can tell this little brother and I'll change it immediately."

Everyone was even more surprised.

Yan Huo had actually called himself little brother, just what was going on?

Could it be that one hit from the Gold Realm beast had completely changed his personality?

But Lin Fan didn't buy it at all, as he had the same calm look on his face as he said, "Do you really want to keep playing?"

Yan Huo still acted confused as he said, "Play? Brother Lin, what do you mean by that?"

However, when Lin Fan said this, the others could clearly tell that something was off.

Without knowing it, they had developed an instinctive trust towards Lin Fan over the past day.

After all, he was someone who was much stronger than them and if he really wanted to kill them, he wouldn't need to do all this. He even let himself be injured fighting those Platinum Ream beasts to protect them.

Would someone as strong as him need to do all this to trick them?

If this was all part of his plan, what would even be his end goal?

Yan Huo's expression didn't break, but he did begin to panic deep down. He was very clear that Lin Fan knew something, but there was no other way out for him.

Yan Huo slightly knit his brows as he asked, "Brother Lin, have I done something to offend you? Is that why you are acting this way? I don't know how I've offended you, I've even tried my best to show my sincerity."

Lin Fan just said, "You know in your heart."

Yan Huo didn't give up, "Brother Lin, do you remember when I took that hit for you? Was that not enough to show my sincerity?"

Lin Fan raised the bowl in his hand and said, "There's nothing to fear if you're sincere, just have a taste first."

Yan Huo knew that he had been pushed into a corner, so he changed his tactic and tried to appeal to everyone else, "Do you all see how he treats me? This clearly shows that we can't trust him. This man is trying to stir up trouble among our group and cause us to fight each other, he is clearly the traitor!"

But when he looked around, he saw that everyone was already looking at him cautiously. There was nothing he could do in this situation, Lin Fan had turned everything against him in just a few words.

Since that was the case, Yan Huo could only do one thing. He turned and began to walk away as he said, "Since that is the case, there is no reason for me to stay here. I would rather go out and face the beasts than to face these beasts disguised as people."

However, as he tried to leave, he found that everyone raised their weapons towards him, not letting him take another step. That also included the person who had incited him to do this…

Yan Huo's face was very ugly as he began trying to curse his way out of this, but everyone just ignored him.

Everyone watched as Yue Jin came over to where Lin Fan was and using his life energy to catch a mouse off the ground, he used his life energy to also force the mouse to take a sip of the soup.

As soon as the mouse swallowed the soup, it shuddered like electricity ran right through it before it fell limp in Yue Jin's hand.

There was no better proof than this, it was clear that the soup had been tampered with. Judging by the reaction of the mouse, it seemed like this poison wasn't a weak one. Just a single sip was enough to paralyze this mouse to this extent, this poison must be a powerful type of poison.

Yan Huo didn't hesitate at all, he knew that he had no other way.

Yan Huo pulled out a purple ball that he had been saving for after he murdered Lin Fan and threw it down right onto the ground. The moment the purple ball shattered on the ground, purple smoke was immediately released in all directions.

He had been planning on using this to fake an enemy attack, during which time he would have been able to quickly assassinate the paralyzed Lin Fan, but his plans had fallen apart. Since his plans would no longer work, he would have to use this smokescreen to escape.

But what he never expected was that Lin Fan wouldn't give him that chance.

The moment the purple ball shattered on the ground and smoke suddenly appeared, Lin Fan had already punched out.

This punch completely scattered the smoke and the force from the punch landed right on Yan Huo's chest, smashing him into the ground.

Lin Fan had held back slightly when he had fought Yan Huo before because he knew from experience that this kind of person wasn't really dangerous since he wasn't smart enough to be the traitor. However, now it was different since he was being used by the traitor…

Yan Huo had actually been seriously injured since he knew he couldn't hold back for his plan to work, but that also backfired on him now. With his injuries, he couldn't even use 70% of his normal strength, so how could he resist Lin Fan's attack?

Yan Huo was smashed into the ground and he lost consciousness immediately.

Everyone looked at Lin Fan in shock with his raised fist, but no one dared to say anything since Lin Fan's actions had been justified. If they were to stand up for Yan Huo now, they might become implicated by him.

Lin Fan looked over everyone before turning to the supporters, "Lock him up, I want to ask him some questions when he wakes up."

Yue Jin overcame his shock and said, "Brother Lin, it seems like your plan has worked and we've finally caught our traitor."

Lin Fan looked at him before looking over everyone and saying, "I said I would give the traitor until tomorrow to reveal themselves, that hasn't changed now. You have until that time to reveal yourself or things will become ugly for you."

He began to leave after saying this, but he didn't forget to add, "Of course, Yan Huo will also know who it is since he was being used. We'll find out more when he wakes up."

This was clearly intentionally said to make the traitor strike out at Yan Huo tonight to silence him, but the person in question wasn't worried.

Rather that person was secretly laughing in their heart because they had something that would make it rather easy for them to kill Yan Huo. They couldn't wait to see everyone's face tomorrow when it actually happened.

…

Yan Huo was placed into one of the armoured vehicles and it was completely placed in lockdown mode.

This was a mode that was supposed to be used when beasts attacked, creating a bunker for the support staff to hide in, but it could also be used to keep a person inside.

Around the armoured vehicle were several of the support staff who were standing on guard. While they were support staff, they were still also cultivators. Most of them were in the Silver Realm and there were even a few in the Gold Realm.

Even though they were much older than the young geniuses, that didn't mean that they were that much weaker.

But there was one figure that silently moved through the night, moving through the shadows and the blind spots of the guards.

That figure made their way through the rotation of guards around the armoured vehicle until they were right beside it. After coming up to it, that person went underneath the armoured vehicle where there was a secret opening that they could enter.

This was a secret opening that was supposed to be used as an emergency exit in the case that the bunker was very broken into, but it also made quite the convenient hole for someone to sneak into.

No one had guarded it since no one expected anyone to make it through all the guards around the armoured vehicle.

As the figure moved in and entered the armoured vehicle, they didn't notice the trail of ants that were under them and that there were two figures currently standing in the sky watching over them.

That person snuck into the armoured vehicle, but that didn't mean that it was left completely unguarded. There were two Gold Realm guards that were inside watching over Yan Huo since it would be crazy to just leave him unguarded.

But that person didn't panic and just casually took out an incense which they lit.

That person was already wearing a mask so the incense didn't affect them, but the scent that came from the incense quickly affected the two guards.

They felt that their eyelids just couldn't stay open any longer before both of them just collapsed on the spot, falling unconscious.

After seeing them fall down, that person walked over with a smile on their face and a dagger in their hand.

Looking down at Yan Huo, there was no hesitation at all when the dagger fell down at Yan Huo's heart, but then…

"You really think things would go that smoothly?"
