Compared to the main camp of the rebel army, the camp of the imperial court was more orderly. Everything was in order, and the morale seemed to be higher.
Mengqi, who was wearing a black iron mask, walked through the camp at a steady pace with his back straight. His black armor made crisp clanking sounds, and his temperament became colder and deeper. No one dared to look at him directly or ask him questions.
He had only deduced the approximate location of the Master of Venomous Poison Bug based on the karma lines and had a preliminary understanding of his strength and identity. He did not know the specific details, let alone the situation on the road. Therefore, he did not dare to rush. He bypassed any obstacles and took out his token when he encountered a checkpoint.
Perhaps it was because he did not head for the core location, or perhaps it was because the Master of the Gu Poison Bug was one of the few masters in the camp, so he was the only one protecting the people and suppressing the assassins. No one was guarding against an assassination attempt on him. Meng Qi's actions did not attract any attention for the time being, and he successfully arrived at the tent that he had deduced.
Behind the tent, a sanguine light rose. Even without using the Third Sight, Meng Qi could roughly outline the situation there. Corpses were placed according to the requirements of a certain formation. Some were skinned while others had their eyes gouged out. All of them had been tortured to death. Their hatred condensed to the point that it was almost tangible, gathering at the center of the altar in the shape of a blood-colored lotus.
"It's definitely related to the Rakshasa of the Bloody Sea. Even if he does not know that we are here to complete the task, he will not let go of the opportunity to stir up trouble and plot against us!" Mengqi squinted his eyes and stopped in front of the tent.
He roughly sensed that there were more than ten masters of the Exterior near the altar and around the tent. Half of them were of the middle three grades. The most terrifying breath came from the front of the tent. It swayed and turned into a huge shadow, preventing Mengqi's senses from penetrating it!
"Divine Lord, why are you here?" The red-robed boy guarding outside the tent recognized Divine Lord of Plenitude. He immediately bowed and asked.
Which of the generals who were sent out to be in charge of sealing off the river were not powerful and highly valued?
Mengqi looked at the boy with a jade-like face and red lips and said coldly, "I have something to ask of you."
His words were concise and comprehensive. There was no need to address him so that he would not be exposed.
The boy smiled and said, "I will inform you immediately. Please wait, Heavenly Lord."
He snorted in his heart. "The ancestor we serve is a real god, and he has descended into the world with miraculous power. You guys, who don't even know which fake god or devil your bloodline originates from, can't compare to him. What right do you have to be so arrogant?"
After a while, he walked out of the tent and said with a smile, "Sect Master invites the Heavenly Monarch inside."
Following the boy, Mengqi stepped into the tent. The front half of the tent was covered with a thick red carpet, and there were screens, tables, chairs, and other items. It was a luxurious residence. There was a person sitting in the main seat, wearing a black robe. There seemed to be a shadow in front of his face, making it difficult to see through him.
His aura was strange and misty, cold and terrifying. It filled the space between heaven and earth, but it was very difficult to detect. It seemed to have formed a connection with every shadow. From time to time, a strange aura seeped out from within his robe. Things were wriggling densely, and it almost gave Mengqi goosebumps.
This was a genuine Grandmaster!
Mengqi knew very well that the Master of the Gu Insect was the Lord of Shadows, a Second Order Earth Rank expert assessed by the Hall of Information!
It would be impossible to get the method to remove the mysterious Gu Insect from Du Huaishang's body, or to kill him directly!
…
In the main camp of the Revolutionary Army.
Hu Zhigao had been busy all night but failed to find any other spies from Liang Ye's remains. He returned to Du Huaishang's sickbed dejectedly and could not help complaining, "Once Big Brother was injured, people became restless. Everyone harbored evil intentions. Liang Ye was Miao Hu's old brother for twenty years, but he was seduced and became a spy, killing Miao Hu's son!"
"That's how people are." Immortal Wanshi sighed. "If not for your adaptability and mysterious means, this incident would have caused internal strife and led to defeat without a fight. However, there are benefits to this. After the death of his son, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Miao Hu and the imperial court. He is worthy of our trust and friendship. If the Heavenly King is unlucky, we will fully support him and suppress the other Revolutionary Army."
Hou Yue jumped up. "Immortal, what do you mean? Do you think you can't save Big Brother? Master has already gone! "
He was very agitated, feeling that Immortal Wanshi's attitude was a betrayal. Hu Zhigao, on the other hand, looked gloomy and did not refute Immortal Wanshi's words.
Immortal Wanshi smiled bitterly. "The Daoist is only preparing for the worst. It was' Lord of Shadows' who severely injured your Big Brother. The Gu Insect cultivated with the power of the curse is undoubtedly left by him."
"He is rated as a Second Order by the Hundred Knows Hall. His means are mysterious, impossible to guard against, and his strange skill makes him difficult to injure. He is the Emperor of Evil Demons in the night. This evaluation is even higher than that of the Daoist. How can he be easy to deal with? Although the world is vast, there is no one who can kill him easily unless there are three First Order experts armed with divine weapons. "
"Moreover, he is hiding in the camp of the imperial court, surrounded by 'Martial Monarch' Du Gushi, five top-tier experts, and the divine weapon 'Blade of the Emperor'. Once they fight and cause a commotion, they will immediately receive powerful support. That fellow Taoist may be extraordinary, but Lord of Shadows alone may not be his match. Trapped in such a tight encirclement, unless a real deity descends, he will not be able to escape!"
Hu Zhigao nodded in agreement with great difficulty. He whispered, "Master is suppressed by the rules of Heaven and Earth. I'm afraid he doesn't have the strength of a top-tier expert …"
When they watched Mengqi sneak out of the camp, both Immortal Wanshi and Hu Zhigao had a rough idea of Mengqi's current realm. Thus, Hu Zhigao helped Immortal Wanshi fill in an unspoken point.
Their words made Hou Yue's face turn pale. His body swayed slightly as he stammered, "Then, then why did you let Master go …"
"The old Taoist saw that he was quite confident, and thought that it was better to treat a dead horse as a living one." Immortal Wanshi smiled bitterly again. "However, one must prepare for the worst when planning something big. Hou Yue, take this opportunity to secretly look for Miao Hu at noon."
Hou Yue took a few steps back and plopped down on a chair. His eyes gradually reddened as he stared at Du Huaishang, who was breathing weakly. He could not suppress the sorrow in his heart, but his rationality told him that Immortal Wanshi and Second Brother were speaking the truth!
…
Inside the luxuriously decorated tent, a five-clawed golden dragon formed from Qi circled endlessly. It was as majestic as the sea and the mountains.
Wen Jing stepped in again and saluted the Crown Prince with cupped hands. "I have news that the other party has sent a few Dissimilated Men. Their skills are strange and they are skilled. They have foiled the first plan to sow discord."
The Crown Prince was silent for a moment before he looked at the tall old man beside him. "What do you think, Teacher?"
"Do those Dissimilated Men have the strength of the top three grades?" 'Martial Monarch' Du Gushi asked.
Wen Jing shook his head. "No."
Du Gushi nodded slightly. "Continue the plan to sow discord. Those Dissimilated Men won't be able to overturn the situation. Tell the spies to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate them."
The Crown Prince thought for a moment and said, "Our camp must be on high alert to avoid being disturbed by their strange methods."
"I will inform the others." Du Gushi did not object.
At this moment, Wen Jing said with a smile, "We also have to let 'King of Shadows' exert more strength. He is the best at restraining strange Dharma Access."
"Yes, with King of Shadows around, it will be difficult for the rascals to succeed." The Crown Prince agreed.
With the strength of the second grade, mysterious skills, unpredictable curses and Gu Insect Techniques, he was the nemesis of all Dissimilated Men!
…
"King of Shadows" leaned against the soft cushion behind him. He looked indifferent, but no one doubted that there was any strange Dharma Access nearby that could fool him. The cursed Gu Insects hidden in his robe exuded a sense of danger.
"What's the matter?" King of Shadows asked casually as he stepped into the tent, "Divine Lord of Plenitude" Mengqi.
"You can leave first." Mengqi glanced at the red-robed boy.
The boy hurriedly excused himself and closed the tent.
King of Shadows opened his eyes with slight interest and said in a condescending manner, "Looks like it's not a simple matter."
"Of course it is," Mengqi said indifferently.
"What is it?" King of Shadows sat up slightly and repeated his question. His cold and ethereal breath was like poisonous snakes circling around Mengqi, ready to bite him at any time. The power of a grandmaster was on full display!
Mengqi looked into his eyes and spat out two words coldly.
"To kill you."
As soon as he finished speaking, King of Shadows saw Meng Qi unsheathe his long saber and calmly slashed at him!
As the saber light entered his eyes, King of Shadows leaned back and his breath instantly disappeared. His eyes were filled with shock, anger, and disbelief. The invisible Gu Insects under his black robe wriggled more intensely.
Mengqi sheathed his saber. His eyelids drooped and his body became heavier. He stepped out of the tent with the help of karma.
As he passed by the red-robed boy, he said indifferently, "King of Shadows doesn't want to be disturbed for the time being."
With that, Mengqi strode out of the camp with his back straight.
…
Hou Yue looked at Du Huaishang with red eyes. His sorrow clouded his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a painful groan. It was a very familiar sound.
"Big Brother!" He jumped up and looked at the sickbed.
Immortal Wanshi and Hu Zhigao also sensed that something was wrong. Thinking that Du Huaishang was on his deathbed, they walked to the bedside in sorrow and pain.
They were stunned when they looked at Du Huaishang. Wisps of black gas drifted from the surface of Du Huaishang's body. The unstoppable wounds were slowly wriggling and contracting. The medicine in his body took effect and his face was no longer pale.
"This …" Hou Yue and Hu Zhigao were at a loss.
Immortal Wanshi was stunned at first. Then, a thought came to his mind and he blurted out,
"King of Shadows is dead!"
"How is this possible?"
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
How could King of Shadows, who was surrounded by six top-tier experts, a Divine Weapon, the Saber of Emperor, and a powerful man himself, die just like that?
…
No one stopped him. With his token in hand, Mengqi said that he was inspecting the defenses on the river surface and walked unhurriedly to the gate.
Inside King of Shadows's tent, the Gu Insects had lost control and "ignited" the remaining Genuine Vitality in his body. Wisps of black gas flew up like a group of demons.
They collided with the Qi of Heaven and Earth and the altar behind them. This was also the reason why Mengqi did not take King of Shadows's items. He had to get rid of the Gu Insects one by one, which was very dangerous. The timing was not right!
"Kaboom!"
The Qi of Heaven and Earth collided, causing a violent explosion. Flames soared into the sky and completely enveloped the altar and the tent.
One by one, the soldiers turned to look at him. Meng Qi looked forward calmly without stopping or turning his head back. He passed through layers of Restrictive Spells and walked out of the gate. Behind him, a beautiful mushroom cloud was rising.
