At a certain time during the day, the originally quiet Celestial Dragon Mountain, or more precisely, this area of Fuyunji's territory, suddenly erupted into a commotion.
Orders were sent out from the Floating Clouds Division's main hall. They were quickly sent out in all directions by the nimble people. Then, in a short period of time, more people began to gather from different places, like a stone smashing into the water and creating ripples.
At this moment, there were already many people in the main hall. Most of them stood quietly and solemnly at the side. At the center of the symbol of power, Xue Ying and Lu Chen stood side by side. Some distance away from them, Old Ma and Chen He also stood there waiting for orders.
Different from the people around them who faintly revealed a bit of killing intent, Xue Ying and Lu Chen's faces looked relatively calm, as if they did not feel that what was about to happen was some earth-shattering event. At least, they looked much calmer than the others.
Xue Ying's gaze swept across the main hall, intentionally or unintentionally looking at Chen He's face. Then, without turning her head, she only lowered her voice and said in a voice that only Lu Chen beside her could hear, "Look, that Chen He seems a little excited."
Lu Chen glanced over there, his expression also unchanging. He said, "There's nothing strange about it. When he first came to our side, his biggest capital was to think that he could help us capture Elder Gui. In the end, after so long, the Evil Cult has caught many spies, but the biggest one has never been seen. It's only right that he is a little anxious. "
Xue Ying suddenly smiled and said, "Right now, the person who wants Elder Gui dead the most is probably him. Maybe right now, his mood is even more anxious than our Fuyunji."
Lu Chen's gaze swept over there, and as expected, he saw Chen He standing there. Although at first, there did not seem to be anything wrong, after careful observation, one could see that he seemed to subconsciously clench his fists. His gaze was sharp, and he occasionally glanced outside the main hall, as if he was very anxious, hoping that the people gathered here would arrive as soon as possible so that they could do that important thing.
Lu Chen retracted his gaze, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.
However, both Lu Chen and Xue Ying's attention had been placed on Chen He earlier. Hence, they could tell that there was something strange about Chen He's expression. However, the two of them did not notice that the person standing beside Chen He had also turned his head around at this moment. Although his expression was the same, his eyes were a little strange as he looked at the two of them, who represented status and power in the crowd.
Because they were too familiar with each other, people would always subconsciously ignore the people around them, always thinking that they would be the same as before, and nothing would change. Perhaps it was because of the many experiences they had in the past, and perhaps it was because of the trust that came from the bottom of their hearts that they would not think too much.
It is as if we always think that our friend will always be there for us, as if it is only natural that he or she should be there for all eternity.
Even the greatest and most meticulous person would often be like this.
Lu Chen's gaze shifted away. He saw that more and more people were entering the great hall. Other than Fuyunji's troops, the group of experts dispatched from the Kunlun Party had also been called over.
He quickly saw Su Qingjun in the crowd. Coincidentally, that woman was also looking in his direction.
Lu Chen revealed a trace of a smile, nodded at Su Qingjun, and smiled. Unexpectedly, not only did Su Qingjun not smile back, she looked at him with a complicated expression. Her expression was cold, and after a moment, she turned her head away without any reaction, as if she did not see him.
Lu Chen was startled. He thought, is she angry?
But I did not provoke her recently, or is it because something happened to Su Qingjun before, and she is unhappy?
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Xue Ying glanced at Lu Chen, a trace of inquiry in her eyes.
Lu Chen smiled, took half a step back, and at the same time made a modest gesture.
Xue Ying smiled slightly, and did not decline again. She took a step forward. This time, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the great hall. The few whispers that were originally there immediately quieted down.
"Today, we are going to do something big." Xue Ying said straightforwardly.
…
Under the continuous pressure of Fuyunji and Zhenxianmeng, in the process of almost non-stop sweeping and exterminating the hidden spies of the Evil Cult, the people who stood in the light and absolute power could not understand the despair of those who were constantly being pressured, hearing from time to time that their companions around them had died, and having a dark and lifeless future.
Despair made people feel pain, it made people crazy, and it also made people have no way out. Even if they once had the most unwavering determination, it was possible for them to collapse at the last moment.
This kind of thing happened.
Among the last remnants of the Evil Cult, there were finally people who could not endure it in their hearts, and secretly sought refuge with Fuyunji. Then, like all the traitors in the world, they needed a presentable gift, a proof of allegiance.
This proof of allegiance was quickly delivered to Xue Ying and Lu Chen. It was a piece of news. The traitor of the Evil Cult clearly pointed out that there was a very important, illustrious, but extremely mysterious high-ranking figure of the Evil Cult, who had been secretly arranged to hide in a secret place in a certain Immortal City some time ago.
And the reason why this traitor knew was because that place was the meaning of his existence. His mission was to protect this kind of important figure in the Evil Cult to temporarily take refuge.
But now, this guardian of the "refuge" suddenly came to his senses, and felt that he had taken the wrong path in the past, and believed in the wrong person and the Evil Cult. Everything was the fault of the Evil Cult and that hateful Elder Ghost.
Fuck the Divine Tree, fuck the myths and legends of unifying the Three Realms, they were all lies. I want to live!
He did not know the identity of this important figure. But what he knew was that only the true important figures of the Evil Cult were qualified to hide in his place.
When Xue Ying's words echoed in the great hall of Fuyunji, everyone became excited. The identity of that deeply hidden important figure seemed to be on the verge of being revealed, and to completely destroy the last vitality of the Evil Cult, there was probably only one last step left.
Xue Ying quickly began to make arrangements, and divided the hundreds of elite troops in the great hall into several batches, each with a leader. At the same time, the troops were made up of ten people, and with an abnormally firm attitude, she explained that the ten people in each team would supervise the operation together, and if anyone dared to leave the team alone or did anything to report to the outside, they would be immediately arrested and given the right to kill them on the spot.
The meaning of this order was naturally clear to everyone, it was nothing more than an estimate that there were still some remnants of the Evil Cult that had infiltrated into Fuyunji, and in this capture, there was a high possibility that the important figure was Elder Ghost. No matter what, there could not be any accidents.
The inescapable net, following the order, was opened.
When the troops in the great hall filed out and flew down the mountain, Xue Ying and Lu Chen also walked in the same direction.
At such an important moment, the two of them naturally had to be present.
But as they walked, Lu Chen suddenly realized that Xue Ying's face did not seem to have much excitement or excitement, but instead looked a little disappointed. Of course, this was all hidden very well, if he was not standing next to her, he might not have noticed it.
Lu Chen was about to open his mouth to ask, but then he thought of something and quickly suppressed this thought.
He turned his head back to look at the tall and majestic Floating Clouds Division's main hall. This illustrious and prestigious palace towered high above Celestial Dragon Mountain. Sunlight shone on it, as if at this moment, it had already reached its most glorious and dazzling moment.
