Dongtianwang City.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The Holy God Guards swarmed out from the Holy Temple Hall, completely ignoring all the rules in the royal city.
Groups of men and horses crossed through the sky, and hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched in an urgent manner, accurately sniping the highest forces in each realm inside the royal city.
"What happened?"
Everyone was alarmed.
Throne leads the team with full firepower.
The majestic momentum was not concealed in the slightest, and the magnificent spiritual essences of various departments shuttled past the major sects and forces.
Even the spiritual masters who were practicing in seclusion were shocked out of seclusion.
The major organizations and factions, as the bosses of the royal city, have their own means of obtaining intelligence.
Within a moment, someone got the information.
"crazy!"
"The Holy Temple suddenly went crazy. With a search warrant, they went to the door of the highest power. They didn't give any reason. If there was any obstruction, blood would be seen on the spot!"
"Daxian Tianzong, Guiyin Pavilion and the like... have just activated the sect protection formation and want to reason."
"As for the Holy Temple, they didn't even have time to talk nonsense. Taixu directly took action and destroyed the sect-protecting formation!"
"I heard that Sect Leader Leng Qi wanted to resist, but was hung up and beaten while being questioned..."
Within the royal city, all sects, large and small, were panicked.
Everyone can only understand that the Holy Temple has suddenly made big moves and seems to be undergoing a major cleansing.
But no one can figure out the reason for this.
Rumor has it that those sects with guilty consciences only wanted to delay the attack a little bit and speculated on why the Holy Temple was taking action.
Half of the entire sect's top brass were killed to scare the monkeys, and half were captured on the spot!
People are taken away.
The whole village is desolate.
…
Nancheng District.
In a tavern that had its plaque removed, the auction was in full swing.
This is the site of the Lingque Trade Fair in the past.
There is something hidden in the tavern. Such an excellent place to attract money will not be used only when the Lingque Fair is held every few years.
On weekdays, there are auctions of all sizes.
As long as you meet the specifications, you can apply to be held here.
With Night Owl sitting behind the scenes, there is no doubt about the safety and reliability of the auction.
At this moment, Yuan Haisheng, the fourth master of Night Cat, is still sitting here, presiding over the smooth progress of the entire auction behind the scenes.
This venue has the strongest spiritual formation protection.
After entering this place, the people inside will lose contact with the outside world.
Naturally, the people inside do not yet know what is happening outside.
at some point.
In the dark room, the only communication bead that could still maintain contact with the outside world buzzed.
Yuan Haisheng was surprised.
This is the communication bead that communicates with the Night Owl headquarters base.
Normally it would be impossible to move, but if something strange happens now, it must be something big happening outside.
After connecting the communication bead, Yuan Haisheng looked solemn.
"One four."
"One or two!"
The voice from the opposite side was Nangong Yin's, very urgent: "Yuan Haisheng! I order you to immediately suspend the process of the auction, stabilize everyone present within ten breaths, and stay on standby. Within thirty breaths, activate the teleportation array, and return When you get to the headquarters base, remember to crush the communication beads and activate the self-destruction process of the teleportation array."
Yuan Haisheng's head went blank.
what's the situation?
Did he even call out his real name?
He was stunned for only a second, stopped the auction process without asking any questions, and used a large array to suppress everyone's protests.
Then, alone, he activated the spiritual formation and teleported to the headquarters base area.
It's still a darkroom.
Under the pitch-black silence, there was no light for illumination. Only a round table and seven high-backed chairs could be vaguely seen.
Yuan Haisheng looked for the fourth chair and sat down, and found that there were already four people sitting at the round table. They were all responsible persons of various places.
In addition, the remaining teleportation arrays lit up one after another.
Soon, except for the chief executive, all the six heads of Night Owl had gathered.
Everyone was confused, but no one spoke, obviously they were waiting for something.
Yuan Haisheng's heartbeat accelerated.
He has been a member of Night Owl for a long time, but compared to the elders here, he can only be regarded as a new player.
He had only experienced this kind of roundtable meeting with all the responsible persons.
That time was also the first time he saw the big boss appear.
It is clear.
There is no other way to get the six leaders to put down what they are doing except for the big boss to come.
"Gurgling~"
Not long after everyone sat down, a burst of mist rose above the main seat, and finally gathered into water and turned into a human figure.
The human figure is wearing a black robe and an animal mask on his head, and his whole body is covered with water vapor. It is impossible to see his appearance clearly, and his figure cannot be discerned, making it feel like seeing flowers in a fog.
"The boss!"
But when this person appeared, the six heads of Night Owl stood up in fear and bowed to greet him, including the second head Nangong Yin.
No one knows who the big master is or what his level of cultivation is. They only know that the big master is codenamed "Water Ghost" and has control over everyone's information, life and death.
In Night Owl, there is no betrayal.
The person who can be chosen as the person in charge not only holds himself, but also the lives of his wife and children in the hands of the boss.
"Calm down."
The head water ghost tapped the table twice with his fingers, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then said: "I'm calling everyone here, I'm just going to say a few words, you just listen, there's no need to reply."
His voice is steady and powerful, slightly hoarse, and has the unique charm of a middle-aged mature man.
But that's about it.
No one can infer the identity of the master from the voice, because they don't even know whether the voice was intentional by the master.
Everyone was sitting upright.
The head of the family, the Water Ghost, stood on the throne and spoke eloquently:
"First point, the latest information shows that the first of the six different parts of the Holy Temple was killed in the Yunlun Mountains. The cause of death is unknown."
"Currently, the only people who know this information are the six leaders and the red-robed ruler, Rao Yaoyao."
"Similarly, this is also the fundamental reason for the sudden action of the Holy Temple at night in the Royal City."
One word fell.
The hearts of the six leaders at the round table stopped beating.
The leader of the foreign division was killed in battle?
Everyone was immediately alarmed that a large number of people might die next.
But the next second, they reacted.
Why does the master know so clearly the information that only the leader of the six departments and Rao Yaoyao can know?
Night Owl's hands are limited to Dongtianwang City.
Not to mention the Yunlun Mountains where the incident occurred is somewhat remote compared to the location of Dongtianwang City, and it would take a lot of time to obtain information.
Even with such explosive information, the headquarters of the Holy Temple must also be under seal.
How did the master know everything?
So fast!
So sure and certain!
Everyone was engaged in intelligence work, and their hearts felt itchy at that moment. Some people could not sit still with their buttocks grinding, and their lips and teeth were opening to ask questions...
"despair!"
The head of the water ghost tapped the armrest of the long-backed chair with his fingertips, and the sound of water dripping echoed in the dark environment.
Everyone immediately thought of what the master just said.
Just listen, don't speak.
No one dares to act rashly at the moment.
On the main seat, the water ghost, who was wrapped in water vapor and could not see his true face, continued to speak without any unnecessary movement:
"Second, the Holy Temple wants to investigate all the forces in the royal city, but this is only related to the matter of death. They don't have much time to waste on ants like us."
"So, be smart. You will all be questioned next. Say what you should say, but don't say what you shouldn't."
"If you can save your life, just state the facts selectively on the premise of saving your life. I don't need to teach you this."
This was the second time that Yuan Haisheng met the leader. He listened attentively and did not dare to be distracted at all. When he heard the words, he subconsciously nodded and shouted: "Understood!"
The atmosphere was awkward instantly.
"clear……"
"white……"
"cancer……"
In the closed environment, the echo lingers for a long time.
The other leaders brushed their heads and turned their heads, glanced at them, and immediately turned back and returned to their original positions, pretending that they had not seen or heard anything.
Yuan Haisheng's face turned red, his scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He even squeezed the toes hidden in his shoes unconsciously, almost breaking the toe bones.
On top of the throne, the head master looked sideways.
Yuan Hai noticed it with his spiritual thoughts.
He obviously didn't dare to look back, but his head tilted uncontrollably toward the master's seat, and then he met the master's eyes.
Buzz.
My mind went blank on the spot.
What kind of eyes are those?
It's as vast as the sea and endlessly deep.
Looking through the mist, Yuan Haisheng felt that he was like a lone boat in the boundless ocean, with water and sky on all sides, and the sea was constantly turbulent.
But the next second, the wave reversed, completely engulfing and swallowing his soul.
Helpless, lonely...
Confused, hesitant...
Just for a moment.
The boss looked away.
However, Yuan Haisheng seemed to have been rescued after drowning. He came to his senses, gasping for air, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat.
"How powerful is this?"
Yuan Haisheng was frightened.
He is in the throne realm.
Because of Ye Mao's job, he has seen many Zhan Dao, including Taixu.
But no one could give him such a terrifying sense of oppression with just one look.
"It's definitely too weak!"
"Moreover, the master is still the top group of people in Taixu, with the most terrifying combat power!"
Yuan Haisheng searched all the memories in his mind, but could not find any Taixu who could bring such momentum and pressure to him like the master.
momentum……
This kind of thing cannot be explained or explained, and it is also difficult to practice.
Only a chess player who has been in a high position for many years and has absolute confidence in himself and all situations can develop an imperial aura similar to that of a great master.
Yuan Haisheng suddenly thought of Jian Lao.
That day, he took Jian Lao to the first floor of the sky to make a deal with Xu Shao.
After it was over, Jian Lao once said that there was a giant Buddha sitting on the first floor in the sky. One glance could scare him half to death.
perhaps.
Is this the kind of existence the great master is?
Possessing the absolute momentum to suppress any opponent at a lower level or even at the same level?
The round table seemed to fall into a long silence.
But all of this is actually just a fantasy in the minds of the leaders.
The reality was that the master's words were interrupted, and he glanced at Yuan Haisheng unconsciously. After that, he withdrew his gaze and continued to knock on the chair and talk.
"The matter of strange death can be big or small."
"You all know how big the impact will be after the leader of the six divisions is killed."
"So, after we go back one by one, we should say what we need to say and do what we need to do. We should try our best to get out of this matter as soon as possible and focus on the intelligence chain of Dongtian King City. Do you know?"
Everyone nodded silently in fear.
The first of six soldiers was killed in action, only one case in decades.
Yumo, the leader of the former Spiritual Department, is known as the Great Demon King Yumo, and he is well-deserved to be the most powerful among the six departments.
Finally, he encountered the Eighth Sword Immortal and was chopped to pieces. The Holy Temple was furious and took action in the five realms, uprooting countless dark forces.
That incident that year, the people who were beheaded due to the impact...
They are rolling and rolling, countless.
After the water ghost said everything, he seemed to raise his eyes and glanced above, and then murmured in a low voice: "It's almost time..."
He lowered his eyes and looked down at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "We have already arrived at the door of our house. Let's go back. The time has come to accept the test."
Everyone stood up immediately.
"yes!"
This time, everyone cheered in unison, then turned and left.
"Fourth one stays." The water ghost said.
Yuan Haisheng's footsteps stopped and his heartbeat skipped another beat.
Fourth child, isn’t it me?
It's not a good thing to be called out by the leader after a meeting, especially since he had gone too far in the meeting just now.
At the moment, Yuan Haisheng was worried, but he could only watch a few people around him leave.
Nangong Yin gave him a self-congratulatory look, and he didn't even dare to say a word, and stayed away as well.
In the quiet dark room, only he and the head master were left.
"Your name is...Yuan Haisheng?" Unexpectedly, the head water ghost did not scold him, but greeted him calmly.
Yuan Haisheng nodded uneasily: "Yes?"
"Haisheng..." the figure on the main seat murmured, with a hint of smile in his tone, "a very nice name."
Yuan Haisheng's heart beat faster.
What's the meaning?
Leave me alone, praise my nice name, and then send me back to the west?
Not so much...
While Yuan Haisheng was still thinking wildly, the water ghost calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "Are you in charge of the trading line on the first floor of the sky?"
"Yes." Yuan Haisheng was startled and nodded immediately, "This branch of the Semi-Saint force has a great background, and the leader, Mr. Xu, has very powerful methods. As soon as he arrived, he had contact with Duojin Trading Company, and now he has also contacted the headquarters of the Royal City Alchemist Association There are many things involved in reaching the supply chain relationship...the first floor in the sky, and I currently treat it as the most important business."
Although I don’t know what the boss wants to ask.
But Yuan Haisheng immediately said everything that needed to be said.
"Relax." The head water ghost smiled slightly, "I didn't mean to blame you. I left you here, just to give you a word of advice."
How dare Yuan Haisheng relax?
The water ghost smiles, life and death are unpredictable.
He was scared to death, feeling that there was something he wasn't doing well enough, and he actually needed the boss himself to tell him how to do things.
"I obey the boss's instructions!" Yuan Haisheng bent down.
The water ghost knocked on the armrest of the seat, seemed to be thinking, and said for a long time: "Everything is business as usual in the trading line on the first floor of the sky. Do things the way you did before. But if the Holy Temple asks you next, no matter what it is, As long as it involves the first floor in the sky, lead it in another direction."
Yuan Haisheng's pupils were shocked.
Listen to what this means...
The first floor in the sky has something to do with the boss?
"Do you understand what I mean?" Water Ghost leaned over.
Yuan Haisheng only felt a sense of oppression and nodded like garlic: "Understood!"
"You don't understand." The water ghost laughed again.
"What I mean is that you don't need to take much care of the first floor of the sky. You just need to provide some guidance during the conversation with the Holy Temple."
"in addition……"
The water ghost paused for a moment and then said: "You, a local snake in Dongtianwang City, know something about the strange death."
Yuan Haisheng's knees softened and he almost knelt down: "I don't know anything..."
"I said, you know something!" Water Ghost repeated.
Yuan Haisheng was stunned and then understood what the boss meant.
The water ghost said: "The King of Hell, the Xuyue Gray Palace, the Holy Slave... these are the few large-scale dark forces that have appeared in Dongtian King City in recent days."
"There are only so many forces that can kill the aliens, coming and going."
"I want you not only to know something, but also to find ways to accurately give the information you know about these forces in Dongtian King City to the Holy Temple."
"Of course, it's the same thing. In verbal conversations, don't be too biased. They will doubt themselves to the point."
After the water ghost finished speaking, his eyes stared straight at Yuan Haisheng through the mist.
Yuan Haisheng's heart was filled with waves.
An unexpected thought occurred to him.
Could it be...
Is the death of Yi related to the first floor in the sky?
Otherwise, how could the great master allow himself to prefer Baotian to the first floor in his communication with the Holy Temple, while secretly stumbling upon the Holy Slave and other forces?
At this critical juncture, if he could stumble, the Holy Temple would be more likely to focus on other targets.
If it turns out that the target is not the target, I will suffer, but I...
Yuan Haisheng's head was numb. He felt that all this was due to his "understanding" just now, but he had to obey the boss's words.
At the moment, gritting his teeth, Yuan Haisheng solemnly promised.
"The mission must be completed!"
no respond.
In the dark secret room, just like the sudden "understanding" I had just now, there was nothing but echoes.
Yuan Haisheng bowed, the sweat on his forehead passed over his eyebrows and soaked into his eye sockets, making his eyes numb, but he did not dare to move at all.
It took a long time to wait.
The boss still didn't respond.
Yuan Haisheng felt something was wrong and secretly raised his eyes, wanting to take a peek.
At a glance.
The person in charge has long disappeared.
"gone?"
Yuan Haisheng took a breath and relaxed, but suddenly he saw the wall behind the main bench.
There is a relief cat head carved on the wall of the dark room. It is ferocious and blends in with the surrounding darkness. Only the faint light left in the position of the eyes exudes the aura of death in the silence.
"The night owl is silent, but the night owl is always watching you!"
Yuan Haisheng remembered the first training of the organization and felt goosebumps all over his body.
He straightened his body, held his head high and held his chest high. He beat his chest and saluted alone in the dark secret room, and then his voice was as loud as thunder.
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Yuan Haisheng, promise to complete the mission!"
