Xiang Kai's eyes turned bloodshot. "Third Uncle, who came up with the idea to trick us into coming here, kill Ye Yang, and fight for the Greed Wolf destiny? Was it you or Bu Ting?"

Xiang Zhennan said, "I know you don't trust Bu Ting. But you also don't understand the Emperor's arrangements."

"Back then, the Emperor and Empress's disappearance was because a spy sent by the Holy Lord of Samsara infiltrated the Emperor's ranks."

"This person must be found before the Emperor returns."

"Our Hou Tu Right Four Guards' mission in the human realm is to find the traitor."

Xiang Zhennan said, "After the Gou Chen Guard betrayed the Emperor, Bu Ting began investigating the traitors in the Left Four Guards."

"At that time, you triggered the Zhu Ni imprint in the Da Meng Village, but no one was killed. That's because no one there betrayed the Emperor."

"Everything Bu Ting has done is to restrain Ying Gou."

"Because he thought Ying Gou was the most likely to betray the Emperor."

"Unexpectedly, the person who truly betrayed the Emperor would be Jiang Chen."

Xiang Kai roared, "Since you knew Jiang Chen had betrayed, why did you still come to meet with him?"

Xiang Zhennan said, "Bu Ting and I pretended to be successors of the Gou Chen Guard in order to confirm whether Jiang Chen's betrayal was due to being bought by the Samsara Bureau or if there were other reasons. If there were extenuating circumstances, we still hoped he could return to the right path. After all, he was the Emperor's number one warrior."

"Now, we can be sure that Jiang Chen has no chance of returning. If he hadn't been tricked away by Liu Shiye, we would have taken action to eliminate the traitor."

Xiang Zhennan paused and looked at Xiang Kai, "You find what I’m saying hard to understand, right? Actually, you'll understand if you think about it carefully."

"Throughout history, emperors have been suspicious. No outstanding emperor would trust his subjects without reservation."

"Even if they know their subjects are loyal, they will plant spies around them as a precaution."

"Emperor Kangxi was a wise ruler, right? Yet he played the Imperial Household Department to perfection. Even his most trusted subjects couldn't escape the Imperial Household Department's surveillance."

"The Emperor is the same!"

"There must be a supervising officer left by the Emperor among our Hou Tu Eight Guards, but we can't ask about this person, let alone look for them. Only when they appear on their own can we know."

As Xiang Zhennan spoke, he looked at Bu Ting.

The latter smiled slightly, remaining silent.

Clearly, the hidden agent the Emperor left in the Hou Tu Eight Guards was the Bu family.

Teng She! (flying serpent)

Although Teng She is a divine beast, it still can't escape the category of "snake."

The characteristics of a snake are that it is good at lurking, hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to its opponent.

Xiang Zhennan's words that they would eliminate the traitor further confirmed Bu Ting's identity. Otherwise, how could he eliminate the unfathomable Jiang Chen?

When Xiang Kai heard this, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was unclear whether he had crushed his teeth or suffered internal injuries from anger.

Xiang Kai struggled to say, "Did you ask for my consent before doing this? Did you ask if I was willing to become the Greed Wolf?"

Xiang Zhennan shook his head and sighed, "Xiang Kai, I'm your Third Uncle. I wouldn't harm you."

"Besides, the fate of the Xiang family's descendants has always been to obey the arrangements of their elders. If possible, I wouldn't want to be this Di Xiansheng (geomancer) either."

"I just want to guard the mountain land left by your grandfather and enjoy the peaceful life of a farmer."

"But the Xiang family chose me, so I had to come out and welcome the Emperor."

"Now, I've chosen you, so you have to come out and gamble with the Bu family to become the Greed Wolf!"

Xiang Kai stared at Xiang Zhennan and said, "Aren't you afraid that if I become the Greed Wolf, I'll turn around and devour my master?"

"You won't!" Xiang Zhennan shook his head. "At least, not before you face your tribulation in the art."

"You, Bu Youming, and Li Po are different from Ye Yang. They have righteousness, but not great righteousness. Perhaps they would sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world, but they wouldn't sacrifice their own siblings and loved ones."

"If they became the Greed Wolf, they would definitely rebel against the Emperor when it comes to the survival of Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)."

"You can't do that."

"Prepare yourself!"

Xiang Zhennan nodded to Bu Ting, who slightly shook his right hand, pulling a sharp knife from his sleeve and walking towards Yan Junyi and Xia Xiaotian, who were collapsed on the ground.

Bu Ting raised the knife and said, "Xiang Kai, Bu Youming, do you have anything to say?"

Bu Youming said coldly, "I hate that I'm not Li Po!"

Bu Ting was furious, "Bu Youming, you are a descendant of the Bu family. How can you admire the likes of Li Po?"

"Heaven gave you the secret art to control the situation and gave you the identity of a descendant of the Bu family, so that you could take on a great responsibility. Yet you admire a Jianghu (martial world) nobody like Li Po? You disappoint me too much."

"To tell you the truth, my deliberate attempt to drive Li Po away from the Central Region was actually the final test for him."

"If he could recognize the big picture and take the overall situation into account, we would naturally keep him and Ye Yang. Perhaps we wouldn't have started the plan to fight for the Greed Wolf destiny."

"You will watch your own brothers die before your eyes. You should blame Li Po and Ye Yang."

Bu Youming glared at the other, Xiang Kai suddenly roared, "You're talking nonsense!"
