After Yi Tianyun identified each one, the captured individuals were tested, and all of them were revealed to have the bloodline of the Evil Spirit Race without a single mistake! This incredible ability left everyone in awe. Had he really killed so many Evil Spirit Race members that he developed such a skill? Or was he naturally more sensitive to bloodline abilities, enabling him to recognize them so accurately?
They didn't know the specifics, but one thing terrified them: so many Evil Spirit Race members had infiltrated, and they had no idea! Just thinking about sitting next to a man-eating monster was terrifying. Everything was hidden too well, and almost no one was aware.
"What... what kind of ability is this..." Earth Monarch Tegu shouted, his body trembling with rage.
"What's the problem with recognizing you all?" Yi Tianyun responded calmly.
"You'll die a horrible death, I guarantee it!" Earth Monarch Tegu's eyes were red with anger. His comrades had been captured one by one, disrupting their carefully laid plans leaving him furious.
"Don't worry, even if I didn't recognize you, you'd still die horribly. Your Evil Spirit Race has always invaded other planets, and I'm here to avenge them!" Yi Tianyun showed no fear of threats. He knew that by doing this, he was making the Evil Spirit Race extremely angry. As long as he was alive, their infiltrators would be rooted out one by one.
Earth Monarch Tegu stared at him coldly, not saying a word. If his eyes could shoot fire, Yi Tianyun would have been burned already.
"Don't worry, you've done a great service for our divine realm. No one can harm you here!" Elder Gou Huang was also furious. These Evil Spirit Race members were brazen, thinking they were invincible and could infiltrate anywhere.
In his anger, Elder Gou Huang tightly grasped Earth Monarch Tegu's head and began a soul search. With Earth Monarch Tegu suppressed, he couldn't move at all during the forced soul search. His eyes rolled back, and he started bleeding from his orifices, typical of a soul search. Shortly after, his head exploded with a "bang."
"Elder Gou Huang, what did you find?" the other four elders asked.
"There's very little valuable information. Some of it is permanently sealed, making it impossible to probe deeply," Elder Gou Huang shook his head, his voice cold. "These guys were clearly prepared. They've tampered with their memories, making it hard to search."
In short, they didn't find anything useful.
They continued soul-searching the other captured cultivators. They didn't hold back, and many heads exploded during the search.
The spectators watched in horror. What was initially an exciting battle had turned into a witch hunt, and there were quite a few! They still didn't know the exact purpose of these infiltrators, but it was clear they intended to gradually infiltrate deeper, potentially even becoming elders, which would be terrifying.
"The Evil Spirit Race's arrogance is infuriating!" Nian Ciyu and her group were outraged. Even among the stewards they brought, there were Evil Spirit Race members.
This was a slap in their faces. They despised the Evil Spirit Race, yet they had managed to sneak in.
They also had no way to identify them accurately. Unlike Yi Tianyun, who could sense them, they found it extremely difficult. It wasn't a matter of martial arts but of sensitivity, which made it very challenging.
"What was a great battle was ruined by a rat," Earth Monarch Tianqing said with a light laugh. If Earth Monarch Tegu hadn't been an Evil Spirit Race member, it would have been a spectacular fight.
Earth Monarch Tegu's strongest power was unleashed when his Evil Spirit Race bloodline was activated. But once exposed, it was all over.
"By the way, Earth Monarch Tianqing, can you identify them too?" Yi Tianyun asked, looking at her.
This statement drew many eyes to Earth Monarch Tianqing. Could she really identify them as well?
"I can tell, but not as accurately as you," Earth Monarch Tianqing didn't hide it.
Everyone exchanged glances. It seemed they were far behind. Only a few people could sense it.
"You answered straightforwardly. I thought you wouldn't admit it," Yi Tianyun smiled.
"What's there to hide? It's not a secret. If your spiritual power is strong enough, you can sense it, too." Earth Monarch Tianqing looked at the five elders and said, "Elders, you should enhance your capabilities in this regard. It's not that your spiritual power is weak, but a bit more effort could reveal it."
Earth Monarch Tianqing's words were a slap in the face for the elders. She implied that they were too lazy to investigate properly.
The five elders' faces darkened. As high-ranking elders, being criticized like this was humiliating.
"We admit our oversight and will enhance our detection methods," Elder Gou Huang admitted directly. "I investigated carefully and realized it takes time to detect them. The Evil Spirit Race's concealment abilities have improved, making them harder to find. This was our negligence."
He admitted his mistake, surprising the audience and earning their respect. At least he lowered his pride to acknowledge the error, not making excuses.
Yi Tianyun observed Earth Monarch Tianqing, wondering if she was too bold. Her open criticism of the elders showed that she didn't care much about the Five Divine Realms' authority.
"Is it possible that Earth Monarch Tianqing doesn't want to join the Five Divine Realms?" Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes, feeling that her arrogance indicated she didn't regard the Five Divine Realms highly.
