After a long time..,
Ding Chang'an held a coat and carefully wiped the blood on his hands as he walked out of the meeting room of the Truth-seeking Society's headquarters.
He stood in the corridor outside the meeting room and threw away the dirty cloth coat in his hand. He looked at the large number of corpses lying around the corridor and said,
"Is it all over?"
Hearing this..,
"Those who insisted on resisting are all dead." Shen Chong looked at the situation inside the meeting room through the door that was not closed. Then, he reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he said,
"We didn't make things difficult for those who didn't intend to work for the Truth-seeking Society, but... I believe that after what happened today, they wouldn't dare to call themselves members of the Truth-seeking Society anymore."
"Brother Ding..." Lu Liang followed behind Quan Xing and the others. When he saw the wound on Ding Chang'an's chest, he was first shocked. Then, he went forward and carefully sized up the other party's injury, he said,
"You're really bold. You actually dared to let them injure your vital parts. Fortunately, the sect leader didn't lie to us before. Otherwise... I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to save you."
As he said that..,
A big red hand made of Qi immediately extended from behind him. Then, it effortlessly helped Ding Chang'an repair this' fatal wound '. It was obvious that he had completely become the accompanying doctor of Quan Xing and the others.
However..,
At this moment..,
Xia He, who was observing the situation inside the meeting room, seemed to have sensed something fishy, so she could not help but ask with some doubts,
"Mr. Ding, why did you leave him alive? And if I remember correctly, that... should be the president of the Truth-seeking Society, right?"
"The sect leader has already said it before..." Ding Chang'an could not help but reach out to touch his chest strangely after Lu Liang had healed the hole in his chest. When he heard Xia He's question, he only said casually.
"This time, someone has to spread the news, especially about the abnormalities we've shown …"
"Shouldn't this be a problem for us to consider?" Xia He said with a slight frown.
"You said that you wanted to test their capabilities personally. We know your usual behavior and habits, so we naturally wouldn't say much. But after all, this is the first task that Sect Leader assigned to us. You acted on your own initiative and spared the lives of the Truth Seeking Society's higher-ups … That's not good."
"I know your capabilities …" Ding Qian 'an did not mind Xia He's criticism, but he still shrugged with an indifferent expression.
"But the escaped members of the Truth Seeking Society are just some insignificant fellows, after all. The words of the higher-ups of the Truth Seeking Society … are more trustworthy than those of the Truth Seeking Society."
"Is that so?" After all, Xia He was not a foolish woman. On the contrary, her thoughts were far more meticulous than the average person's. Naturally, she quickly understood Ding Chang 'an's words.
However, considering Liu Xiaojiang's attitude towards Quan Xing, she still felt that Ding Chang 'an's self-assertive behavior was somewhat inappropriate.
After all, not only did the Truth Seeking Society grant them near-immortality, they also took the initiative to express that they would not use this matter to spy on them. As the beneficiaries, they naturally had to repay the Truth Seeking Society with loyalty …
"Let's just tell the truth when we get back …" Shen Chong noticed that the atmosphere between Quan Xing and the others was a little off, so he immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile. However, it was obvious that he was biased towards Xia He.
"Mr. Ding, are you confident in suddenly doing this? Did the surviving higher-ups of the Truth Seeking Society see the abnormalities on your body with their own eyes before they fainted?"
Ding Chang 'an glanced at Lu Liang, who had suddenly fallen silent, and at Shen Chong and Xia He, who were obviously standing by the side.
"After all, this person is the leader of the Truth Seeking Society. Don't underestimate him. I believe that after he truly 'wakes up' … he will definitely be aware of what happened to him."
"By the way …"
"Where did Old Tu go? Wasn't he outside with you to deal with the other members of the Truth Seeking Society? Why can't we even see his shadow now …"
"Brother Tu is retrieving the corpses that can be used for research," Lu Liang took the initiative to answer when he heard this.
"Brother Ding, you also know that although Brother Tu is the successor of the Three Demon Sects, he has not learned all the abilities of the Three Corpses. His entire sect was sacrificed for the greater good back then. He did this … to recreate the complete cultivation method of the Three Demon Sects."
"Oh, I see …" Ding Chang 'an nodded.
"Let's go …" Lu Liang glanced at Ding Chang 'an, then at Shen Chong and Xia He.
He then said, "Granny and Elder Xia are still waiting outside. Don't let the two elders wait for too long. Even if we are all demons, we still have to respect the elders …"
However …
Before Lu Liang could finish his sentence, he saw a figure appear at the end of the corridor. It was Liu Xiaojiang, who had previously asked them to destroy the Truth Seeking Society. Or rather, the current Mr. Sect Leader of the all-demons … Yinggou.
"Uh … Sect Leader, why did you suddenly run over? Are you still worried with Brother Ding around?"
Liu Xiaojiang had been staring at Ding Chang 'an, who was standing in front of the meeting room. Clearly, he already knew what had happened just now. He also knew very well why Xia He felt that something was wrong just now.
When he heard this, he glanced at the nervous Lu Liang and walked toward where everyone was.
"Sect Leader …"
Although Ding Chang 'an was one of the two heroes of the world, he was very clear about Liu Xiaojiang's terrifying strength. When he realized that the other party had been looking at him since he appeared, he could not help but feel a rare sense of panic in his heart.
"Old Ding, so you know that I'm the Sect Leader …"
Liu Xiaojiang came in front of Ding Chang 'an and looked directly at the slightly nervous eyes of this hero. His calm face made it impossible for people to guess. No one knew what this seemingly kind sect leader would do to Ding Chang' an in the next moment.
On the other side …
When Ding Chang 'an heard this kind of questioning, he suppressed his instinct to fight back in the face of danger and said,
"Sect Leader, I am indeed wrong for acting on my own, but sparing the lives of the Truth-seeking Association's higher-ups can indeed allow the plan to proceed …"
However …
Before Ding Chang 'an could finish his words, he saw Liu Xiaojiang slowly raise his arm. Then, he reached out to him nervously, interrupting his words that were about to defend his actions.
"No, this kind of thing is actually my fault. It's my fault that I didn't express my attitude to you …"
Under the slightly nervous gaze of Quan Xing and the others, Liu Xiaojiang stretched out his hand and patted Ding Chang 'an's shoulder gently.
"Old Ding, I gave you the ability to live almost forever, and I don't intend to use the convenience of this ability to monitor you. But don't think that this … is the result of me treating you as my friends."
"It doesn't matter if you are Ding Chang 'an, Shen Chong, or Xia He … We are two completely different existences."
"I did say that all of you are trustworthy. But … that's only because I'm treating all of you as tools that I can trust and use. All of you are tools that I can use to achieve my final goal. And tools … don't need to have thoughts."
"I, Yinggou, am only your Sect Leader. I am the Sect Leader of the Omnipotent Demons … Remember?"
