Chapter 2488: Guests

Xia Qin immediately looked toward Gui Jian. There was only one Semi-Progenitor who had been present in Specter Abyss, which made him the biggest suspect. Even if Crown Prince Gui Qian and his followers had managed to somehow learn battle techniques that belonged to the Celestial Frost Sect and Shenwu's Sky, it would not have been easy for them to leak them to the public. That was something that only a Semi-Progenitor could do.

Gui Jian dropped his head. He was indeed Specter Abyss’s only Semi-Progenitor, which was something that everyone knew, including Xia Qin.

Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and others all focused entirely on Gui Jian.

"Speak," Xia Qin said.

Gui Jian slowly lifted his head, revealing a weathered face covered with fear. As a mere Semi-Progenitor, being stared at by an entire group of Progenitors was beyond horrifying. "I absolutely did not leak those battle techniques."

Bai Sheng approached. "Some people who heard the instructions for the battle techniques have just been apprehended."

"Bring them here," Wang Fan said eagerly.

Lu Yin silently moved closer to Gui Jian and Possessed him without anyone noticing a thing.

As soon as Lu Yin took control of Gui Jian's body, he quickly glanced at Bai Wangyuan and then instantly ended the Possession.

Xia Qin noticed nothing, and Bai Wangyuan had been looking at the two cultivators being escorted over. They were members of Root who had infiltrated Specter Abyss with Wan Wu. Thus, Bai Wangyuan also did not notice the brief glance his way.

However, someone else did: Wang Fan.

He saw Gui Jian glance at Bai Wangyuan, and Wang Fan’s pupils constricted at the sight.

The two cultivators easily identified Gui Jian's voice, leaving the man completely aghast. He desperately tried to explain himself, but the facts were against him.

"Why did you leak our sects’ battle techniques?" Xia Qin demanded.

"Where did you get the techniques from?"

"Wang Fan, what else is there to explain? It’s clear that the culprit is none other than your Specter Abyss’s Semi-Progenitor!" Bai Wangyuan shouted while glaring at Wang Fan.

Wang Fan stared back at Bai Wangyuan with cold eyes. "Impressive move."

Bai Wangyuan’s brow rose at the comment. "What did you say?"

Wang Fan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Bai Wangyuan. "Did you already know about the connection between Specter Progenitor and me?"
