Chapter 432: part ways
Hearing what Ancestor Hughes said, Ancestor Marshall and others immediately became angry.
One of them shouted in a deep voice:
“Ancestor Xius, don’t bite people randomly. Just because Jiang Heng caught up with us, do you think there is a traitor?”
“What if Jiang Heng comes after you escape to the third base? Are you also a traitor?”
“When we were willing to serve as the first base, we took the risk of being the first to be sacrificed. But now we are being accused like this by a junior like you. You are simply a wolf-hearted person!”
Ancestor Watt also stopped and said:
"Shut up! Ancestor Hughes, stop talking nonsense. We are all high-level leaders of the Protoss. How could someone be so short-sighted and betray the entire Protoss at such a critical moment!"
“Stop disturbing people’s hearts!”
Everyone shouted angrily.
Ancestor Kexius still sneered.
“Such a serious statement, do you think I’m talking nonsense?”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became strange.
“Don’t you have any evidence?”
Ancestor Hughes shook his head slightly: "I have no evidence, but my words are well-founded."
“Have you ever thought about why they escaped from the first base without any casualties? We escaped from the second base with still no casualties?”
“With Jiang Heng’s various abilities, even if he doesn’t want to directly destroy the planet, knowing that the first base is behind Pigu, it is not difficult at all to kill the nineteen ancestors on it.”
“With his transformation and teleportation abilities, it is very easy to destroy the two teleportation arrays after sneaking in.”
“In this way, everyone becomes a turtle in the urn and can be killed slowly.”
Someone immediately retorted unconvincedly:
“Boy, you don’t understand Jiang Heng’s current mentality. He actually wants to use a small number of escaped survivors to promote his power and scare more gods.”
“That’s why he slowly kills the protoss on the planet and admires everyone’s embarrassment in escaping. In fact, he doesn’t care who escapes. He mainly wants to undermine the confidence of all of us.”
Ancestor Hughes glanced at him.
“What about us senior executives? Doesn’t he care too?”
"If you don't care, why didn't you take action after destroying the Ancestral Planet? According to what you said, he can destroy any planet at will and continue to spread fear."
“But the fact is that Jiang Heng didn’t take action again until he discovered the first base?”
“Because his target is very clear, it’s us senior executives!”
"In that case, why did we let you escape? Even if we were able to escape perfectly this time?"
"Why?"
Ancestor Hughes sneered again.
“Let me tell you why!”
“Because he will use your hands to find the second base, even the third base, and all the bases naturally.”
“Then how can I borrow your hand? It’s impossible to gamble on luck as you said before? Are you sure you will leave clues carelessly? Do you believe he would gamble on luck like this?”
Everyone couldn't help but fell silent.
Some people’s eyes fell on the ancestors of Marshall and others, including themselves, and some of them became suspicious of each other.
“If only your first base escaped perfectly, it’s possible that Jiang Heng was really careless, but now, both of our bases have escaped.”
“With Jiang Heng’s strength and past actions, I don’t think it is possible for him to be so careless twice in a row.”
“So there is only one possibility. There is a traitor in the first base who cooperates with Jiang Heng and leaves him information!”
“Jiang Heng is going to let the traitor escape to our second base, and then use us to find the location of the third base, and then use the third base to find the location of the fourth base!”
“By following the clues like this, he can find all our senior executives!”
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone’s eyes have changed.
At this time, they had to admit that although the words of Ancestor Hughes were unpleasant, they were most likely the truth.
Many high-level officials originally formulated the Hydra strategy in order to avoid being blamed by Jiang Heng as much as possible. Therefore, the nine major bases were extremely hidden and even only had one-way access to each other.
Even if any one of them betrays, it is impossible to directly implicate everyone.
Unless it’s like the current situation.
Involving the nine major bases step by step.
Marshall's ancestor's eyes swept over the eighteen companions in the first base one by one, and finally said with a heavy face:
“After we were divided into nine major bases, we basically never left. Only when several Lord Tianzun from the main clan arrived, we sent three of them to greet them, and then returned to the base.”
“We were all together during this period, how could anyone be bribed by Jiang Heng or even decide on the details of cooperation?”
Ancestor Xius said in a deep voice:
“I have no evidence, and I don’t know how the traitor cooperated with Jiang Heng, but judging from the current situation, the most likely possibility is that there is a traitor.”
Ancestor Marshall was silent for a moment and looked at his companions: "I think what Ancestor Hughes said is probably true, and the traitor should be among us."
“We are all old partners for many years. In this critical moment, I would never have imagined that someone would surrender to the human race and betray everyone.”
He said sadly:
“Doesn’t anyone know that once the God Clan is destroyed, everyone present will not have a good end? Moreover, the clan’s foundation is infinite, and with the clan’s backing, there is no need for us to be afraid of Jiang Heng.”
“I will give you one last chance to come forward to find out who is the traitor. Otherwise, when the final investigation comes out, everyone will join forces to kill you without mercy!”
"I swear on my own life, if you stand up now, I will resolutely defend you and will never pursue my previous mistakes!"
Everyone looked at the nineteen people in the first base.
The nineteen people also looked at each other.
But no one took any action.
Everyone’s eyes were deep, but no one spoke for a while.
Ancestor Xius said at this time: "It doesn't matter if you don't take the initiative to stand up. I have a way to verify whether the traitor really exists among you."
“As for who it is, we can only investigate in detail afterwards.”
Ancestor Watt looked at him: "What can we do?"
"It's very simple. We will go to the third base later. As for everyone in the first base, you can go to whichever planet you want."
“If Jiang Heng cannot find the third base, it proves that there is indeed a traitor among you.”
At this time, someone suddenly said:
“What if Jiang Heng still finds the third base? Does that mean the traitor is in your second base?”
Ancestor Hughes said disdainfully:
"How can it be?"
“We don’t know the location of the first base. If the traitor is among us, how did Jiang Heng find you first?”
Ancestor Watt said: "I think this method is feasible. After all, it is to reduce the risk of exposure to others. Please don't mind and just cooperate with the investigation."
“Then, let’s go our separate ways for now!”
