208: Chapter 208 The Lin Family Has Problems

Another Demon Emperor!

And in a secret chamber where the Dragon Country's top combat power is gathered!

Right under the noses of Luo Qinghe, Wang Shihao, and Yun Yihan!

They actually didn't notice at all?

Combined with the abnormal behavior of Lin Qingyang choosing to stay and listen to a small figure like himself despite a major event happening at home, and the fact that the Demon Emperor's contractor is Lin Qingyang—

Alarm bells rang in Chen Yi's heart!

This Lin Qingyang definitely has a problem!

He might even be an insider, or a high-ranking member of the Demon Abyss Cult!

He stayed here just to confirm how much Chen Yi had actually seen!

He wanted to know if Red Snake had been exposed.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Chen Yi's back.

He immediately changed his mind; he absolutely could not speak the truth in front of Lin Qingyang!

So, under Luo Qinghe's expectant gaze, Chen Yi showed hesitation and said, "Actually... it's not anything particularly certain!"

"It's just that during yesterday's match, I felt a very... peculiar aura from that Red Snake. It was very subtle, but also very special, unlike any Spirit Beast I've encountered before!"

"But as for what it specifically was, I can't quite say. Maybe it's just some rare Mutated Bloodline? So I wanted to ask Elder Luo and the other seniors if you've seen similar situations."

What kind of person was Luo Qinghe?

Upon hearing this and seeing the subtle change in Chen Yi's eyes, he instantly understood—there was likely a mole in this secret chamber!

Chen Yi was changing his story on the fly!

His heart was shaken, but his expression remained calm.

Yun Yihan and Wang Shihao were slightly taken aback.

Wang Shihao spoke up: "A peculiar aura? Mutated Bloodlines of Spirit Beasts are all sorts of strange; having a special aura is normal. Based on this alone, it doesn't seem like a big deal..."

He was a bit speechless, feeling that Luo Qinghe was really making a mountain out of a molehill.

There was no need to make such a big fuss.

However, Yun Yihan narrowed her eyes, seemingly having sensed something as well.

Lin Qingyang, however, seemed a bit anxious and pressed: "A peculiar aura? What did it specifically feel like? Cold? Tyrannical? Or... besides that, has little friend Chen felt any similar auras elsewhere recently?"

It seemed that because of the major event in the Lin Family, his mind was slightly unsettled.

To actually ask so directly—

Seeing this, Chen Yi sneered inwardly.

Looking at this, Lin Qingyang definitely has a major problem!

His specific goal was almost exactly as he had initially guessed!

Thinking of this, Chen Yi also shook his head and said with a serious face, "No, Red Snake's aura is very unique! It was only that once; maybe I was just overthinking it..."

Hearing Chen Yi's answer, the urgency in Lin Qingyang's eyes seemed to soften a bit, and he mused, "If it's just a peculiar aura, it is indeed difficult to judge!"

"There are many types of Mutated Bloodlines, and it's normal for unrecorded peculiarities to appear."

"Perhaps it's just that Bai Song's intentions are impure, causing the power of his Contracted Spirit Beast to seem a bit eerie as well."

I have to say, he really is an old fox.

To be able to so naturally lead the topic back to Bai Song, trying to downplay the focus on Red Snake itself—

If Chen Yi didn't have the system, he would never have suspected Lin Qingyang of having a problem!

At this time, the Spirit Beast who came to deliver the news urged anxiously again: "Patriarch, this matter really cannot wait. Several elders are about to lose control of the situation—"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyang sighed with great difficulty.

He looked truly anxious and couldn't stay here any longer.

But it wasn't a big problem!

As long as it was confirmed that Chen Yi couldn't see through Red Snake's true form!

Now his contracted demonic beast, Zheng Yuting, was also here, yet Chen Yi showed no abnormality, which was enough to prove he shouldn't be able to see through a Demon Emperor!

As for whether it was because of the level gap or because Red Snake hadn't completely undergone the Spirit Hiding Ceremony, which allowed Chen Yi to notice something, let the higher-ups worry about that!

He had to hurry back and deal with family matters first!

Thinking of this, he also cupped his fists to Luo Qinghe and the others: "Elder Luo, Elder Yun, Brother Shihao, I'm truly sorry. An emergency has occurred at home, and I must return to handle it immediately! The information little friend Chen provided is also very important. I will have my subordinates keep a close eye on the movements of Red Snake and Bai Song and report any abnormalities to headquarters immediately."

He looked completely like someone prioritizing public business!

Luo Qinghe nodded calmly: "Family affairs are important. Go ahead and handle it, Qingyang. We will follow up here!"

Wang Shihao also spoke: "If you need any help, just say the word."

Yun Yihan just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Lin Qingyang apologized again, then hurriedly left through the teleportation array in the secret chamber, taking that contracted Demon Emperor with him.

The atmosphere in the secret chamber was silent for a moment.

Wang Shihao looked at Luo Qinghe: "Elder Luo, what do you think about this—"

Luo Qinghe waved his hand, his gaze deep: "Since Chen Yi felt an abnormality, it's worth being vigilant no matter what!"

"Shihao, use your military information network to secretly strengthen surveillance on Bai Song and those around him, especially that Red Snake. Don't alert the enemy!"

"Elder Yun, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Please consult the Yun Family's ancient records to see if there are any reports of similar peculiar auras!"

Wang Shihao and Yun Yihan both nodded in agreement.

They could all see that Luo Qinghe placed great importance on Chen Yi's intuition.

There must be a deeper reason behind this, but since Luo Qinghe didn't say, they didn't find it convenient to ask.

After discussing some more details, this brief secret meeting concluded.

Wang Shihao and Yun Yihan also departed one after another.

Before Yun Yihan left, she took another look at Chen Yi and smiled kindly: "Little fellow, when you have time, bring Zhi Yao back to the Yun Family's ancestral home for a visit. I have some good things there that might be helpful to you young people."

Chen Yi quickly thanked her: "Certainly, thank you, Senior Yun."

After everyone had left, only Luo Qinghe, Chen Yi, and Xue Haiyao, who was lurking in the shadows, remained in the secret chamber.

Luo Qinghe's expression instantly became extremely grave. He set up several Soundproofing Barriers, and after confirming that no one else would be eavesdropping, he asked in a low voice, "Kid, can you speak now? What exactly is going on? You suddenly changed your story just now—did you discover something?"

Chen Yi no longer hid anything and told Luo Qinghe everything about his system's detection results—that Red Snake was a Demon Emperor-level demonic beast, the Karma Fire Demonic Python, and that the Lin Family's Spirit Beast from just now was also a Demon Emperor-level demonic beast, a Mirror Demon.

He also shared his deduction—that Lin Qingyang highly likely had a problem and might even be a high-ranking member of the Demon Abyss Cult, and that he had stayed behind just to confirm the intelligence.

Even though Luo Qinghe had experienced many great storms, he was so shocked by this news that he couldn't speak for a long while.

His face became extremely unsightly.
