Commander Reblos wasn\'t aware of Jin Rou\'s identity as he changed his flesh and body when he created this one in the past. Of course, the aura couldn\'t be hidden but Reblos was confident that the old monster of that level was no longer alive. At least, that\'s what\'s their thinking of.

"You are higher than me?" Jin Rou sneered and released his pressure aura which made the other party knelt down, "Not even the old bastards behind you will dare say it but you, a newborn ant, says such words? I like your audacity."

"Who are you?" The commander could feel his legs weakening more after kneeling. He felt like he was in front of an emperor and he couldn\'t look up. Nevertheless, he was still brave and didn\'t back down, "No matter what you do, we will still win."

"Oh, so confident?" Jin Rou smiled, "Does it mean that a monarch is aiding your group?"

"Why should I answer your question? Do you have the qualifications to know?" Reblos snorted. He wasn\'t afraid of death. His life belonged to someone else and he was going to die one way or another. Dying right now wouldn\'t make a difference.

"Alright, don\'t answer it then. Let me take the answers inside your head." Jin Rou made the commander unable to move. He then walked up straight to him and held his head, "Don\'t move so much or it will hurt more."

Reblos was resisting. However, it was useless as he was not able to move any part of his body.

"Ah!" Reblos felt his head being split into two. He knew that the other party was seeing through his memories and he couldn\'t do anything about it. The more time passed by, the more it got painful.

After a few minutes, Jin Rou opened his eyes and smirked, "I see now. Things are getting interesting."

"Your Majesty, what did you see?" Headmaster Lanx was curious what he had seen in the commander\'s memories thus he asked.

"Nothing much. I just found out that a certain alumnus of your academy is helping out the enemy." Jin Rou smiled and answered. Now it made sense why the old monsters were very confident in attacking the academy right now.

With a help of someone who naturally knew the ins and outs of the academy, it would be easy as pie to locate the vital points they needed to settle. Of course, the execution of the plan was still important and they couldn\'t let they guard down.

"What...?" The headmaster was flabbergasted. It was unbelievable, but the words came out of Han Li\'s mouth so it must be credible, "How is that possible that someone will betray our academy?"

"Headmaster, it\'s normal that there will be one or two persons who will betray you no matter how many good things you have done." Jin Rou said. Han Li had been betrayed so many times that Jin Rou couldn\'t count it. As a matter of fact, being betrayed was something Han Li was used to in a daily basis.

Jin Rou paused for a moment and continued, "Don\'t let this get to you. No matter what, this is an inevitable result and no one can do something about it."

"Who is that person, Your Majesty?" Headmaster Lanx asked.

Jin Rou looked at him before saying, "Spiritgale Dao Monarch."

Headmaster Lanx felt his head turning and almost fainted. He had many speculations about who that was, but he never thought that such a person who he thought very honest and amiable would turn out an enemy of their academy!

Even Zia was shocked. Spiritgale Dao Monarch was one of the best monarchs nurtured by Dao Sword Academy. As a matter of fact, she once ranked second at the top three monarchs of the academy. She was brilliant enough to have a future and be at the peak. Who would have thought that she\'d be a traitor?

She was nurtured painstakingly by the academy. All the resources she required to achieve where she was right now was because of the academy. Her clan didn\'t spend a single penny on her during her cultivation in the academy. It was all on the academy\'s expense. Yet, they were being repaid by such ingratefulness?

"She\'s such an ingrate..." Headmaster Lanx felt his fists clenching so tight. The academy had never been betrayed like this before, "Why would she betray the academy which took care of her so well?"

Jin Rou didn\'t comment on this. However, je already had assumptions regarding this.

In the outer region of the academy, the legion of Commander Reblos was waiting for his return. However, it was already been two hours since he went out but he never came back.

According to the rules, once the commander didn\'t come back after two hours, it would be taken as a no to their proposal.

Then, three figures appeared. They were all very old men who had lived for countless of years. Their wrinkled bodies couldn\'t be hidden but their strength was still overwhelming.

Stars were within their grasp as they moved slowly towards the academy.

"It has been a long time since I breathed this kind of fresh air." The bald old man said as he took a deep breath, "Ah, finally I can taste this air again."

"You can think about it when we accomplish this." The white haired old man said, "The item must be our priority. We have to get it today, there is no place for failure."

"That\'s for sure." The bald old man smirked, "There\'s only one Imperial Lord residing in the academy and he\'s too old to fight. This will be a win for us. Nevertheless, I still used some precautions to avoid complications."

"Don\'t underestimate the academy too much. It\'s not an academy of nurturing monarchs for a shallow reason." The black haired old man warned, "Remember, it stood many trials and tribulations in the past and it successfully went through."

Underestimating one\'s enemy was a fatal weakness of an arrogant man. Usually, severe consequences were there when they didn\'t use their brains and all brawl. For the black haired old man, it was better to be safe than sorry.
