Conspiracy
"My captain is Huang Tianyu. We went to eliminate the bandits, but we were forced to split up because the bandits were too powerful. I couldn't find the captain, so I came back first." Ye Xuan replied.
"Oh, Huang Tianyu?"
The black-armored captain nodded.
The Stone Puppet suddenly flew to the front and said, "Captain, he's Ye Xuan!"
"You're Ye Xuan?" The black-armored captain narrowed his eyes and nodded, "If that's the case, then there's no need for you to return to the Warlord Palace. Follow me!"
In the Warlord Palace, the palace guards had to listen to the orders of the gold-armored captains. As for the black-armored captains, they were naturally able to command the captains.
Therefore, Ye Xuan had no choice but to obey this order.
"It's a bit strange!"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and blended in with the group.
"Ye Xuan, how was the mission this time?" The Stone Puppet came over and asked with a smile.
"Not good. Two peak Spirit Stage warriors appeared. In order to protect me, the captain and the two brothers lured them over." Ye Xuan shook his head.
"Oh, don't worry. We're all elites in the Warlord Palace. They'll be fine." The Stone Puppet said.
Ye Xuan nodded silently and asked, "Do you know where we're going this time?"
"I'm not sure. The captains should be taking us to carry out a mission. Otherwise, why would they mobilize so many people?" The Stone Puppet shook his head.
"I heard that an important figure came to the Main Palace to discuss important matters. The elders were afraid that we would offend this important figure, so the captains led us out to carry out the mission."
Someone in the crowd suddenly said.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the leader of the black-armored soldiers shouted, "Shut up!"
This time, the person did not dare to speak.
However, the words had already left his mouth, and Ye Xuan had already heard it.
"Important figure? These captains? "
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that they had mobilized many palace guards this time. No, rather than saying that they were mobilized, it would be better to say that they were hiding.
"Could it be that the Devil Clan experts were afraid that this important figure would discover them, so they sent everyone out to carry out the mission?"
Ye Xuan suddenly guessed.
If that was the case, then there might be quite a few half-demons in this group.
"By the way, Shi Xiao, do you know which team Big Brother Chen, who led us through the assessment, belongs to?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I know, he's from my team. I replaced him," Shi Xiao nodded.
What?
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was shocked.
Had the Stone Puppet replaced Chen Liang and joined his team?
After all, Chen Liang's captain was also a half-demon!
Then, had the Stone Puppet also been transformed into a half-monster?
"Previously, Chen Liang took out three half-demon hearts. Perhaps he was preparing to transform me, Murong Xue and the Stone Puppet. It seems that the Stone Puppet has already been transformed."
Ye Xuan finally understood why the new palace guards had to be brought along by the old palace guards.
Although Murong Xue was not in the team, she might have been converted. Otherwise, she would have died.
If that was the case, then everything made sense.
Since the important figure from the Main Palace had arrived at the Sub Palace, the Devil Clan experts in the Sub Palace were afraid that they would be exposed. Therefore, they sent all the half-demons out to carry out the mission.
Ye Xuan observed for a moment and found that other than the captain, who was at the peak of the Spirit Stage, there were ten other captains. They were powerful and were far from what he could fight against right now.
Most importantly, he was unable to distinguish who was a human and who was a half-demon.
Therefore, he could only hide for the time being.
He mingled in this large group, and then was chased by the black-armored captain for a total of four days. Finally, they landed on an ordinary mountain.
"Where is this?"
"Could it be a Sacred Beast's nest?"
"Of course, why else would the captain bring us here?"
"It could also be a rest. After all, we have been flying for four days."
A group of people began to discuss.
At this moment, the black-armored captain suddenly shouted: "Silence!"
No one dared to speak again and listened quietly.
"Everyone, stay on this mountain. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave. Those who disobey will be killed on the spot!"
The black-armored captain yelled.
Hearing this, the expressions of the humans who did not understand changed. What made the black-armored captain become so cruel?
Kill on the spot?
Others might not understand, but Ye Xuan knew that the black-armored captain's last sentence was probably meant for the other half-demons.
If anyone dared to leave, the half-demons would immediately attack and kill them.
"You five captains, follow me!"
The black-armored captain yelled and pointed at a few people. Immediately after, five captains wearing golden armor followed him.
"Not good!"
Ye Xuan's face sank. He understood what the black-armored captain wanted to do.
The black-armored captain was probably going to be converted. As for the other ten captains, there were probably a few half-demons as well.
At that time, under the pressure of these experts, the human captains would probably submit and become one of them.
If all the human captains were to become half-demons, then it would be Ye Xuan and the others' turn.
"What a big appetite. He's going to convert all of them in one go. Is he going to go all out?"
Ye Xuan's eyes widened. He glanced at the Stone Puppet and found that the Stone Puppet's expression was very calm, as if he already knew what the black-armored captain was going to do.
It seemed that the Stone Puppet had already surrendered and become a half-demon.
"Damn it, I don't know how to distinguish between humans and half-demons. If I continue to sit here, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"
Ye Xuan's face sank, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Even if the ten captains were all humans and only the black-armored captain was a half-demon, the captain could still bring them out alone. If anyone refused, he would instantly kill them without a trace.
Moreover, half-demons seemed to be able to sense their own kind. The human captains would not choose a third option.
"It seems that we have to go!"
Ye Xuan already had a plan in mind, but he felt that it was not the right time. He should wait for the black-armored captain to come back first.
At this time, the black-armored captain had already left with the five captains.
The hundred or so palace guards of Warlord Hall remained here, waiting for them.
In less than half an hour, the black-armored captain returned. However, one of the captains was missing. Only four had returned.
"Huh, why is one of the captains missing?"
Everyone had noticed it, but only the human palace guards had doubts in their hearts.
On the human side, only Ye Xuan understood that the missing captain was probably killed on the spot because he was unwilling to submit.
"Captain Bao Jianfeng has been assigned to a secret mission by me. Next, I will choose from among you."
