That's why today he plans to clear out the ill-intentioned people following his father.

In the past, he wanted to deal with Wu Lin, but he lacked skilled fighters; his father wouldn't listen, nor would he believe him even if he did.

Today, Xiaolong dared to speak because he has two experts behind him, and he can enforce a confession through severe torture. Once Wu Lin confesses to what he has done, it will surely anger his father.

Only if his father is angry will he consider leaving the Eight Banner Sect headquarters; otherwise, his father will continue to be blindly loyal.

"Young Sect Leader, you are wronging me! I, Wu Lin..." Wu Lin, intending to continue lurking, did not want to be exposed, so he planned to proclaim his loyalty...

"Enough, Wu Lin, aren't you being hypocritical enough? Qin, help me take him down." Xiaolong didn't want to listen to Wu Lin anymore and directly instructed Qin Qing to take action...

"Xiaolong, you're being disrespectful; you're becoming increasingly rude to your elders, step down." Kang Long fiercely protected these loyal old subordinates of his. He still believed Xiaolong was defaming his long-time followers. He valued loyalty and did not wish to fall out with old subordinates, and Xiaolong had no evidence to speak of against Wu Lin. That's why he was so angry.

"Dad! I know you're loyal and faithful, and he has indeed accomplished much for you in Karachi. But the reason your development in Karachi was so slow is due to him. If it weren't for him constantly sowing discord among Uncle and the others, they wouldn't have restrained you so much. Without that restraint, ten years ago, our Eight Banner Sect would have already eliminated the Yale warlords. How do you still not see this? Even I, at a young age, saw this. Why won't you face the facts?" Xiaolong spoke to his father, exasperated but with no enmity.

Kang Long heard this and averted his gaze. Indeed, he never wanted to face the past reality. While he suspected a traitor existed among them, leading to the headquarters not sending experts, he didn't want to uncover the traitor and see something he didn't want to see.

"Young Sect Leader, you keep accusing me, Wu Lin, of doing unsavory things, but you need to bring out evidence, right?" Wu Lin saw Kang Long's evasive gaze. He understood Kang Long wasn't willing to believe he'd done anything to betray the Eight Banner Sect.

Thus, he began to refute Xiaolong's words.

"Heh, evidence? Your strength is the biggest evidence." Xiaolong's ear twitched earlier, and Zheng Guang softly reminded him that Wu Lin was an Innate expert. So Xiaolong used Wu Lin's strength against him. If Wu Lin claimed to be a National Martial Arts tenth dan, Qin Qing could force him to use his Innate Realm power.

By then, no amount of extra explanations or evidence would hold up under Wu Lin's deceit...

"My strength? What's wrong with my strength? Does my strength affect the Eight Banner Sect? Young Sect Leader, don't you feel this chills our group of old subordinates' hearts?" Wu Lin feigned indignation.

"Then tell me, what's your strength level? Don't tell me you're National Martial Arts tenth dan, because I won't believe it." Xiaolong sneered.

Kang Long, Zhou Mingjie, and others frowned at each other, remaining silent.

Kang Long did not speak because he believed his son wouldn't fabricate things to deceive him. Zhou Mingjie and Feng Han also remained silent, hoping to identify who had stopped the headquarters from sending people to assist Kang Long ten years ago.

"I've... recently broken through to National Martial Arts eleventh dan, and I originally wanted to..." Wu Lin's gaze flitted, though only Zheng Guang could see it clearly; others perceived it as clear and bright.

"Ha, hypocrite, you say you're National Martial Arts eleventh dan. Then if you're an Innate expert, doesn't that prove you're hiding something?" Xiaolong's surprising words made their eyes focus on Wu Lin, scrutinizing if he was indeed concealing his strength.

"Young Sect Leader, I don't have such ability. Even if you put a high hat on me, don't force it upon me..."

"Qin, kill him for me." Xiaolong couldn't be bothered to say more. Wu Lin was inherently a hypocrite, and no matter how much Xiaolong explained, Wu Lin would argue. Everything depended on Qin Qing forcing him to reveal his true strength.

Qin Qing nodded, unleashing his initial Innate strength against Wu Lin without reservation.

Kang Long and Feng Han feared for Wu Lin's life. If Wu Lin were indeed an Innate expert, fine; but if not, this strike would inevitably prove fatal!

But if Wu Lin were an Innate expert, it would substantiate Xiaolong's claim of him being a traitor.

Confronted by Qin Qing's unbridled Innate power, Wu Lin clenched his teeth. He wanted to keep pretending, but feeling Qin Qing's Innate power, he knew that without displaying his Innate Internal Breath, he indeed faced death.

Under such pressure, Wu Lin stopped hiding and released his initial Innate Internal Breath.

Seeing this, Kang Long and Feng Han widened their eyes, while Zhou Mingjie yelled, "Wu Lin, you beast, you really deceived us."

The confrontation between Qin Qing and Wu Lin was swift, with their palms clashing.

Qin Qing retreated a step, while Wu Lin took three back.

The difference in strength was immediately apparent.

"Bang!"

Qin Qing launched a Fierce Tiger Taking the Heart attack, Wu Lin parried with both hands.

"Swoosh!"

Wu Lin kicked at Qin Qing's groin.

Qin Qing blocked Wu Lin's leg with his left hand, and then used the Grapple Hand, one of Shaolin's 72 Skills, with his right, seizing Wu Lin's neck as if catching the wind.

Wu Lin struggled, but Qin Qing gripped him firmly, his face turning ashen...

Qin Qing slowly lifted Wu Lin with one hand, as Xiaolong sneered, "Wu Lin, do you have anything else to say?"

"Uh..." Wu Lin tried to speak but, choked by Qin Qing's tight grip, could only make muffled sounds.

"Qin, release him for now." Xiaolong dared to release Wu Lin, trusting Zheng Guang's protection, caring not if Wu Lin retaliated.

Qin Qing forcefully threw Wu Lin to the ground.

"Cough, cough!"

Wu Lin coughed a few times, sitting up slowly.

"I never expected... that despite hiding so deeply, you'd still see through me." Wu Lin said with a despondent look.

"Wu Lin, you bastard, you really betrayed us." Kang Long rushed forward in anger, intending to beat Wu Lin.

A flash of cunning appeared in Wu Lin's eyes as he swiftly leapt up.

But Zheng Guang constantly monitored him and would not let him succeed.

Wu Lin saw a shadow swiftly appear in front of him from behind Xiaolong, and he fell back in horror.

However, an Innate mid-level expert like Zheng Guang would not easily allow him his wish. Zheng Guang's large hand tightly held him, gripping Wu Lin's neck once more.

Wu Lin being choked turned his face pale...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
