Chapter 1620 1596: Recognition

"Alright, come in."

Divine Traceless pushed open the creaky wooden door, gave a slight smile, and led Ye Huan into the room.

At this moment, apart from Divine Traceless, the five Ultimate Guardians were sitting majestically at the table.

They were gathered around a stone table playing poker.

Upon seeing the newcomers, they stopped what they were doing.

All stood up.

"Boss." The five Ultimate Guardians greeted Divine Traceless.

Divine Traceless smiled slightly, waved his hand, "Sit down."

Everyone sat down.

"Let's get straight to the point."

"Ye Huan, your performance yesterday far exceeded the expectations of the six of us."

"Your decision-making and strategic planning abilities, along with your control over battle analysis, have already surpassed ours."

"The six of us never imagined that the Evil Qilin would throw all of his Evil Martial Artists under his command, just for a chance at escape."

"If it weren't for you, the Evil Qilin would have escaped, leaving us with a major problem."

Divine Traceless pulled over a long chair for Ye Huan, signaling him to sit down, then pulled over a chair for himself, sitting down without any nonsense and directly praising Ye Huan.

The other Ultimate Guardians nodded in agreement with Divine Traceless's words.

Of course, they also recognized Ye Huan's strength and performance on the day.

Ye Huan smiled casually, "You all don't need to praise me like this, I just happened to think of these by chance."

"Is it really just by chance? I somehow find it hard to believe."

Divine Traceless said with a smile, then his tone changed, and his expression became extremely serious, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Ye Huan, your performance that day was indeed very spot-on, there's no doubt about it. Had you not reverse-calculated the complete plan of the Evil Qilin, not only would the Rebel Army have suffered significant casualties, but they also wouldn't have been able to completely obliterate the Qilin Hall."

"Your performance was exceptional, to say the least."

"However, there's still a rather thorny issue that needs to be resolved."

"The Qilin Hall is destroyed, but we haven't really rooted out the traitors among the hundred Ancient Martial Clans, nor those within the Ancient Martial forces. What do you think should be our approach against the enemy? What should be our next step?"

Divine Traceless's face showed a deep sense of concern.

The other five Ultimate Guardians shared the same expression.

Honestly, they were deeply worried about this issue.

The Evil Martial Sacred Land has been completely destroyed, with the Evil Qilin and the hall masters of the five Evil Martial Sacred Lands all sent to Hell. This is certainly a powerful deterrent to those traitorous families and forces, but it also serves to stir the snake.

If those families and forces settle down, it might be difficult to catch those real traitors and punish them.

And if we can't catch them, then it's like having a timed bomb planted within the Ancient Martial Clans and forces.

If things go wrong, or the future situation becomes unclear, the ancient fortress might think of ways to detonate this bomb.

By then, the Endless Deep Mountains will face threats from all sides and fall into a dangerous predicament.

Therefore, no matter what, we must root out all those traitors!

This issue made Ye Huan furrow his brows, forming a character "川".

"At present, it seems extremely difficult to root out all the traitors. But our actions this time have completely suppressed the arrogance of the traitors, making them anxious and fearful of being held accountable in the short term. We must seize this opportunity to launch a heavy attack against these traitors."

"We don't need to catch all the traitors, just a few typical ones so that other traitors become fearful and anxious. That way, those traitors will definitely show their flaws, allowing us to take swift and intense action to punish them accordingly."

Ye Huan's tone suddenly shifted, and he asked, "Divine Elder, has the person who stirred impatience among the crowd, inducing the Rebel Army to leave their post, thereby creating an escape space for the Qilin Hall, been caught?"

"Hmm, most have been caught."

"However, there is a major problem facing us."

"Their identities are extremely difficult to verify; those few verified belong to some Ancient Martial forces, while a small portion are disciples of certain Ancient Martial Clans. The majority, however, don't belong to any Ancient Martial Clans or forces."

Divine Traceless explained.

Ye Huan's eyes flashed with brilliance, immediately stating, "This large portion of people is key to breaking the stalemate!"

Divine Traceless pondered for a moment, his gaze also becoming brilliant, "Ye Huan, you mean..."

Ye Huan did not speak directly but scanned the faces of the Ultimate Guardians present, smiling, "I trust the Ancient Martial Clans under the command of the Ultimate Guardians present show no signs of betrayal, correct?"

The crowd exchanged glances and nodded, "Naturally."

"The Ling Family, Zhan Family, and Tian Family, are nominally led by the patriarchs of each family, but in reality, they are directly commanded by us. If the ancient fortress wants these families to betray, they'd have to buy us off first, which is impossible."

"Taking this opportunity, Ye Huan, let me introduce the relationship between the Village of Guardians and the hundred Ancient Martial Clans, as well as Ancient Martial forces."

"Actually, the village head office of the Village of Guardians is akin to a central institution for the Endless Deep Mountains, exercising supreme authority over the Endless Deep Mountains and Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm; all Ancient Martial Artists should obey the village head office's orders."

"Regarding Ancient Martial Clans like the Ling Family, they are directly governed families to the village head office, while other families develop independently, albeit aligning with the general direction of the Endless Deep Mountains and the Village of Guardians."

"Regarding Ancient Martial forces, they rely on each major Ancient Martial Clan, although they fear the Village of Guardians, their superiors remain the Ancient Martial Clans they depend on."

"This is the basic structure of power distribution in the Endless Deep Mountains; unless the village head office collectively betrays, the directly governed families won't betray, you can rest assured on that."

Divine Traceless laughed heartily.

Ye Huan tapped his fingers on the table a few times, directly voicing his thoughts, "Conceal the true identities of these people and announce to the Endless Deep Mountains that they originate from top Ancient Martial Clans led by the Ling Family!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed, "Ye Huan, do you really mean..."
