Ling Xuan was startled at first, then his lips curled into a cold smile.
Then, he stood up and bid farewell, saying that he had something urgent to deal with.
An Yu had been watching from the sidelines. He took in his expression and reaction.
Seeing him stand up and leave, An Yu was too lazy to ask anything, he sat on the chair and pondered expressionlessly.
"This despicable bastard, it must be difficult for him to make a decision, so he went to ask the demon ancestor.
But because he wanted to save face, he could not tell the truth, so he found this excuse. "
An Yu thought so, he hated Ling Xuan's hypocrisy even more.
… …
Behind the Conference Hall.
At the end of the corridor, there was a dark, small, and dirty secret room, which was used to store miscellaneous items.
Normally, this secret room would be forgotten by others, and no one would notice it for a few months.
Only the deacons in charge of internal affairs knew about the existence of this secret room.
Also, as the deacon of internal affairs, Ah Ke had been paying attention to the news of the foreign races.
Half a month ago, she had suffered 50 soul lashes, she was almost dead, her mind was extremely weak, and she had been recuperating in her room.
Today, her injuries had recovered a little, and her mental state was much better.
But she received news that the leader of the foreign races, An Yu, had come to Beiming Palace with the black battleship.
She immediately realized that An Yu had come to see the Great Demon Sage personally, there must be something important to discuss.
So, she ignored her injuries and sneaked into this small and dark secret room.
She hid in the corner of the secret room, and with a little trick, she could eavesdrop on the conversation in the Conference Hall.
She had also heard the argument between Ling Xuan and An Yu. Neither of them was willing to back down.
The Pillar of Heavens Mountain had successfully blocked the attack of the battleship, and Ji Tianxing had killed a few foreign race guards, she was relieved and secretly happy.
Originally, she held her breath and listened attentively, wanting to know the result.
Would An Yu and Ling Xuan continue to work together?
If the negotiation did not break down, what plan would they have next?
But, something that Ah Ke did not expect happened.
Just as she was listening attentively, a black shadow silently appeared in the darkness behind her.
"Swoosh!"
This blurry human figure was like a shadow of a person.
There was no flesh and blood body, nor was there any magic power fluctuation or soul aura.
He came without a trace and left without a trace.
The black shadow did not make a sound and directly struck out a pair of pitch-black dragon claws towards Ah Ke.
Ah Ke sensed danger and subconsciously turned around. He waved his palms and sent out two bloody palm shadows.
"Bang bang!"
With a muffled sound, the two bloody palm shadows collapsed on the spot, smashed into pieces by the pair of pitch-black dragon claws.
In the next instant, the pitch-black dragon claw enveloped Ah Ke.
The secret chamber was so small that Ah Ke couldn't dodge at all.
Next door was the Great Meeting Hall, so it was best not to cause too much of a commotion. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed.
Her heart was burning with anxiety as she desperately rushed to the side, trying to avoid the dragon's claws.
However, her strength was simply too weak compared to that black shadow.
There was no suspense in the outcome.
She was immediately captured by the pitch-black dragon claw and held firmly in its palm.
Five sharp and cold claws locked her tightly, making it difficult for her to struggle or resist.
Cold black gas surged out of the black claws and covered her body, making her unable to use her strength.
Ah Ke's expression changed drastically. Her dark red eyes flashed with anger and worry.
However, she tried to maintain her composure and shouted at the black shadow, "Bastard, I am the Internal Affairs Deacon, what are you doing? Let me go! "
The black shadow's eyes were like two dark red flames, staring straight at her. He said with a hoarse voice, "Not only do I know that you are the Internal Affairs Deacon, I also know that your name is Ah Ke.
Furthermore, your whereabouts in the past few months have been strange. You have been secretly eavesdropping on the Great Demon Saint's plans. You have bad intentions! "
Ah Ke immediately frowned as a bad premonition arose in her heart. She thought to herself, "Damn it! This guy is secretly spying on me? Could it be that the Great Demon Saint is already suspicious of me?
Damn it! I have been very careful these past two years and have never exposed myself.
It is only because of the appearance of the foreign race experts that I became anxious... "
At this time, the black shadow continued, "Oh right, my name is Cang Ying. I am master's shadow.
You don't have to refute or explain yourself. If you have anything to say, just say it to master! "
Cang Ying's words confirmed Ah Ke's guess. Her heart sank to the bottom, and her body turned cold.
After a while, the stone door of the secret room opened.
A tall and burly black shadow covered in dragon scales stepped into the secret room.
The person who came was the Great Demon Saint, Ling Xuan. His face was filled with a cold smile, and his body was filled with cold killing intent.
He stood in the middle of the secret room and looked at Ah Ke with sharp eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "Ah Ke, tell me, why are you doing this?"
How could Ah Ke admit it?
She immediately suppressed the worry in her heart and revealed an expression as if she had seen her savior. She said anxiously, "Great Demon Saint, you are finally here!
Quickly tell Cang Ying that this is a misunderstanding! "
"Misunderstanding?" Ling Xuan grinned coldly and said in a playful tone, "Previously, you were too concerned about the foreign race and wanted to influence my decision.
Now that An Yu has come to visit again, you are hiding here and secretly eavesdropping on the negotiations between me and An Yu.
Tell me, who are you? Who do you work for?
You are a smart person, and you should know my methods.
If you know what is good for you, be honest. Otherwise … hehehe! "
Ah Ke hurriedly shook her head and explained anxiously, "Great Demon Saint, Ah Ke is innocent!
You also know that Ah Ke used to be a Blood Robed Guard and trained in the Blood Sea Abyss for three months.
I will only be loyal to the Demon Race and the Ancestor Demon God.
The reason why I am so concerned about the foreign race is also for the sake of the Demon Race!
The foreign race experts have evil intentions and are full of ambition. They are definitely not good people.
Our race cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. Not only will we be attacked by them, but we will also disappoint countless people! "
Speaking up to here, Ah Ke revealed a sincere expression and said in a self-mocking tone, "Great Demon Saint, you also know Ah Ke's nature. I am good at guessing the intentions of my superiors and helping my master solve problems.
Although Ah Ke is the Internal Affairs Deacon and cannot interfere with government affairs, I wholeheartedly protect the Demon Race and want to contribute to the Demon Race.
Unfortunately, Ah Ke is too concerned about this important matter and has made you doubt Ah Ke's intentions.
If Ah Ke had known earlier, Ah Ke would have been a useless Internal Affairs Deacon waiting for death to earn your trust … "
Hearing her words, Ling Xuan frowned and fell silent for a moment.
He stared at Ah Ke with a burning gaze and secretly used his divine sense to check the fluctuations of her spirit.
For a moment, he almost believed Ah Ke's words.
However, he was cunning and suspicious by nature. After a moment of silence, he sneered and said, "Ah Ke, you really have a sharp tongue, unlike the other Blood Robed Guards.
No matter what you say, this Seat will not believe you.
Cang Ying, take her to the Torture Department and torture her!
