Xiao Bai was fixed on the instrument, the laser was accumulating energy. Xiao Bai's life was at stake, it was counting down.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang. The High Lord's expression changed slightly, it was his subordinate informing him that someone had come to visit.
He looked deeply at Xiao Bai and muttered to himself, "It seems that I won't have the chance to personally witness your death. Enjoy the taste of the laser."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the basement in large strides, then gently took off his mask. This time, he changed from the High Lord to Ji Wuxiang, the aura around his body also underwent a tremendous change.
"So it was Tang Zheng who broke in. Why did he come here in the middle of the night?" Ji Wuxiang muttered to himself.
"Young Master Tang, why are you here?" Ji Wuxiang changed into a set of pajamas and greeted Tang Zheng, pretending to be surprised as he asked.
When he finally saw Ji Wuxiang, Tang Zheng stopped and asked directly, "Why did I feel the power of the stars descend in Beijing?"
Ji Wuxiang's heart jumped, he thought that his senses were really sharp.
Ji Wuxiang did not panic in the slightest, he calmly smiled and said, "So Young Master Tang is here for this matter. This is because I activated the Heavenly Chess in an attempt to absorb more power of the stars into the Heavenly Chess. I hope that the Heavenly Chess can be perfected as soon as possible and succeed."
"Don't you have me?" Tang Zheng asked back.
"It was decided on the spur of the moment in the middle of the night. After all, I can't trouble Young Master Tang with everything." Ji Wuxiang said with a smile, his excuse flawless.
Tang Zheng looked at him suspiciously, his brows slightly furrowed.
Ji Wuxiang's expression did not change, he looked at him with a face full of smiles.
"Then what is the effect of activating the Heavenly Chess? “
Ji Wuxiang shook his head in disappointment, "I am unable to communicate with the power of the stars. Even if I can activate the Celestial Chess and make the power of the stars descend from the Nine Heavens, I am unable to precisely channel the power of the stars into the Celestial Chess. Therefore, without Young Master Tang's help, I would not have been able to succeed in this huge project."
Ji Wuxiang's words were sincere and persuasive.
Tang Zheng stared at him with burning eyes, but he didn't express whether he believed him or not. He asked, "President Ji, do you know my pet Xiao Bai?"
Ji Wuxiang nodded calmly. "Of course, I know. I've heard that there are quite a few divine abilities as well."
"Xiao Bai is missing. He was kidnapped." Tang Zheng's tone suddenly dropped and became cold.
"What?" Ji Wuxiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How could this be? Who in the capital is a match for Xiao Bai?"
"President Ji has so much power in the capital, could it be that you have no news at all?"
Ji Wuxiang let out a long sigh and said, "My power is only limited to normal matters. Regarding you cultivators, I am indeed powerless. But Young Master Tang, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to track down Xiao Bai's whereabouts. Do you have any concrete clues? "
Ji Wuxiang was very enthusiastic.
"Concrete clues?" Tang Zheng muttered to himself, "Number One died at the scene, does that count?"
"Number One? Isn't he one of the chief's people? Could it be that the chief sent people to kidnap Xiao Bai? "Ji Wuxiang was very surprised.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"This …" Ji Wuxiang hesitated and bitterly laughed, "I can't guess the thoughts of these people in power."
"President Ji is too modest. If even you can't guess, then others can't."
Ji Wuxiang bitterly smiled and said, "Now that I have lost my power, even the people behind me are in danger. If I could truly guess the thoughts of those people in power, then I wouldn't have fallen to this point."
Tang Zheng stared at Ji Wuxiang from beginning to end, but after staring for a long time, he still couldn't find any clues. His reaction was very steady and everything was within reason, making Tang Zheng very passive.
"President Ji's information is very fast. Don't tell me you don't know what the Blood Moon is?" Tang Zheng changed the topic and asked.
Ji Wuxiang was slightly startled and his expression became strange. He stared straight at Tang Zheng and said with a smile, "Young Master Tang should be more clear about the reason for this matter, right?"
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"Hehe, since Young Master Tang asked, then I will definitely tell you the truth. I just received news that the Blood Moon was caused by the Scarlet Lunar Beast beside you, and not by Tian Qi, right?" Ji Wuxiang's gaze became thought-provoking.
Tang Zheng's head moved. He didn't expect the other party to admit it so frankly. If Ji Wuxiang flatly denied it, then Tang Zheng's suspicion towards him would definitely increase. Because, with Ji Wuxiang's information, it was impossible that he didn't know about this matter.
If even the chief knew about it, then there was no way this could be hidden from Ji Wuxiang.
But he didn't expect the other party to admit it so frankly, which made Tang Zheng a little passive.
For a moment, he was a little uncertain about Ji Wuxiang.
"Young Master Tang, you really have too many rare and exotic beasts around you. This Scarlet Lunar Beast can actually cause the Blood Moon, and it's said that once you consume its inner core, you can even absorb the essence of the sun and moon. It's equivalent to Tang Seng's meat. You have to protect it well and don't let it get caught by bad people, "Ji Wuxiang reminded him, seemingly full of kindness.
"You're really well-informed. Don't tell me you don't have any thoughts after hearing this news?" Tang Zheng probed.
Ji Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Young Master Tang, you really know how to joke. We're friends, and the Scarlet Lunar Beast is your pet. Why would I do that kind of thing?"
From Ji Wuxiang's reaction, Tang Zheng didn't find the information he wanted, and he couldn't directly start a fight because he didn't have any solid evidence, so there was no solid reason to do so.
But Xiao Bai had disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't do anything about it. How could Tang Zheng just let it go like that?
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and the ground shook. Both of them were shocked at the same time.
"What happened?" Tang Zheng asked in surprise.
Ji Wuxiang's expression suddenly changed, and there was a violent fluctuation in his eyes.
Creak!
The door was suddenly pushed open, and someone rushed in and shouted, "President Ji, something happened."
Ji Wuxiang had already guessed a thing or two, so he said, "Young Master Tang, I still have something to do. You can send Young Master Tang off first."
Tang Zheng had an idea, and said, "President Ji, did something big happen?"
"It's nothing, just a small matter. I can handle it." Ji Wuxiang's expression flickered.
Tang Zheng caught on to this point, and he was even more determined to stay. He smiled and said, "President Ji, just now you said that we're friends, and we should help each other. No matter if it's a big or small matter, if I can help, of course I won't shirk my responsibility."
After saying this, he directly walked out of the room and found that the outside was already in chaos. A part of the Go club's building had collapsed, and many people were quickly running over.
Looking at Tang Zheng's back, Ji Wuxiang's eyes flashed with a cold light, but there was nothing he could do. He could only chase after him and say, "Young Master Tang, don't worry. Let's see what happened first."
Tang Zheng pointed at the collapsed building and said, "President Ji, could it be that there was a bomb buried in this Go club, and it accidentally exploded, causing this area to collapse?"
"I occasionally like to do small experiments like this. It might have been caused by accident, but it's not a big deal. We'll just rebuild it." Ji Wuxiang waved his hand and said without a care in the world.
But Tang Zheng had already found some clues from his expression. This was definitely not as simple as the explosion caused by a small experiment as Ji Wuxiang had said. There was definitely something else going on.
The more Ji Wuxiang tried to hide it, the more interested Tang Zheng was in finding out the details. Of course, he wouldn't leave just like that.
He coldly snorted in his heart and walked over with large strides.
There was actually a large hole in the collapsed ruins. Smoke and dust rose from it, but one could vaguely see that there was another world beneath the ruins.
Tang Zheng didn't say a word and jumped into the ruins.
Ji Wuxiang's face turned ashen. His subordinates all looked at him, asking what they should do.
Ji Wuxiang fiercely stomped his foot and hurriedly chased after him, climbing into the ruins.
What exactly was beneath the ruins?
Ji Wuxiang couldn't be more clear. Beneath the ruins was the basement where Xiao Bai was imprisoned. The explosion must have been an accident when the laser killed Xiao Bai. As for why this accident happened, he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
However, he was still worried that Tang Zheng would find some clues and deepen his suspicions, or even immediately turn against him.
From Tang Zheng's reaction tonight, he was already suspecting him. If the last straw was added and the two sides completely broke off, then it would be a terrible nightmare for Ji Wuxiang.
Before Heavenly Chess was completely completed, he had to rely on Tang Zheng. If they broke off, then both sides would completely fail.
"The Hope Laser didn't just kill Xiao Bai, it also destroyed its corpse, turning it into air." Ji Wuxiang secretly hoped.
The energy of the laser was too powerful. Ordinary creatures could be directly turned into air, and Xiao Bai shouldn't be an exception.
Ji Wuxiang prayed silently and chased after him. He found that the basement had turned into a huge pit full of holes. All the equipment had been blown up, so it was very dark. Coupled with the fact that it was covered in dust, he couldn't even see his fingers if he stretched out his hand.
His subordinate quickly turned on the flashlight, and finally saw a trace of light. Ji Wuxiang shouted, "Young Master Tang, where are you?"
There was no answer, and there was no sign of Tang Zheng.
Everyone looked at each other and walked in the dark. They didn't see anything special wherever the light passed.
An ominous premonition surfaced in Ji Wuxiang's heart. Could it be that Tang Zheng was one step ahead of him and found some clues?
He gradually clenched his fists, and there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes. If that was really the case, then he definitely couldn't let Tang Zheng live today. He definitely couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain.
As for perfecting Heavenly Chess, he had to think of another way. The Scarlet Lunar was a good breakthrough. If they really broke off, then no matter what, he had to capture the Scarlet Lunar.
Once he consumed the Scarlet Lunar's inner core, he would naturally be able to communicate with the power of the stars and perfect Heavenly Chess.
