Chapter 878: The Water Ghost Smiles, Life and Death Are Unpredictable!
Dongtian Wangcheng.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The Holy Guards swarming out of the Holy Temple completely ignored all the rules in the Royal City.
Teams of troops crossed the sky and rushed out in a hurry to accurately snipe the highest forces in the Royal City and the various realms.
"What happened?"
Everyone was alarmed.
The throne led the team and fired at full power.
The mighty momentum was not concealed at all, and the magnificent spiritual essence of various systems shuttled through the major sects and forces.
Even the spiritual masters who were in seclusion were shocked out of seclusion.
As the local snakes in the Royal City, the major organizations and factions have their own means of obtaining intelligence.
But in a moment, someone got the information.
"Crazy!"
"The Holy Spirit Temple suddenly went crazy, and actually came to the door of the highest power with a search warrant, without any reason, and blood was drawn on the spot if there was any obstruction!"
"Daxian Tianzong, Guiyin Pavilion, etc.... just started the sect protection formation and wanted to argue."
"The Holy Spirit Temple didn't even have time to talk nonsense, and Taixu directly took action and blasted the sect protection formation!"
"I heard that Sect Master Leng Qi wanted to resist, but he was hung up and questioned while being beaten..."
In the royal city, all the sects, big and small, were panicked.
Everyone could only understand that the Holy Spirit Temple suddenly made a big move, and it seemed that a big purge was going to be carried out.
But no one could find out the reason for this.
According to the gossip, those sects with guilty consciences only wanted to delay time a little bit and find out why the Holy Spirit Temple made a move.
Half of the senior leaders of the entire sect were killed as a warning to the monkeys, and half were arrested on the spot!
People were taken away.
The whole sect was desolate.
…
South City District.
In a tavern with its plaque removed, an auction is in full swing.
This is the site of the former Lingque Trade Fair.
The tavern has a lot of hidden secrets. Such an excellent place to make money will not only be used when the Lingque Trade Fair is held every few years.
On weekdays, large and small auctions.
As long as they meet the standards, they can apply to be held here.
With Night Cat sitting behind the scenes, the safety and reliability of the auction are beyond doubt.
At this moment, Yuan Haisheng, the fourth head of Night Cat, is still sitting here, presiding over the smooth progress of the entire auction behind the scenes.
This venue has the strongest spiritual array protection.
Once you enter this place, the people inside will lose contact with the outside world.
Naturally, the people inside do not know what happened in the outside world at present.
At a certain moment.
In the dark room, the only communication bead that can still maintain contact with the outside world buzzed.
Yuan Haisheng was surprised.
This is the communication bead that contacts the Night Cat headquarters base.
It would not move on normal days, but now it is unusual, it must be something big happened in the outside world.
Yuan Haisheng's face was solemn after connecting the communication bead.
"One, four."
"One, two!"
The voice of Nangong Yin sounded from the other side, very urgent: "Yuan Haisheng! I order you to immediately suspend the process of the auction, stabilize everyone on the scene within ten breaths, and stay on standby. Within thirty breaths, activate the teleportation array and return to the headquarters base. Remember to crush the communication bead and activate the self-destruction program of the teleportation array."
Yuan Haisheng's mind was blank.
What's going on?
Even the real name was called out?
He was stunned for only a second, without asking more questions, and stopped the process of the auction. Amid the protests of everyone, he suppressed everything with the big array.
Then he was alone, activated the spirit array, and teleported to the headquarters base.
It was still a dark room.
In the pitch-black silence, there was no light for lighting, and only a round table and seven high-backed chairs could be vaguely seen.
Yuan Haisheng sat down at the fourth seat and found that there were already four people sitting at the round table, all of whom were responsible for various places.
In addition, the remaining teleportation arrays lit up one after another.
Soon, except for the main seat, the six heads of Yemao had gathered.
Everyone was confused, but no one spoke, obviously waiting for something.
Yuan Haisheng's heartbeat accelerated.
He had joined Yemao for a long time, but compared to the old people present, he was only a newcomer.
He had only experienced this kind of round table meeting with all the responsible persons once.
That time was also the first time he saw the big boss appear.
It was obvious.
There was no other possibility that the big boss could make the six responsible persons put down their work together.
"Gurgle~"
Not long after everyone sat down, a mist rose above the main seat, and finally gathered into water and turned into a figure.
The figure was wearing a black robe, a beast mask, and was surrounded by mist. It was impossible to see his face or figure clearly, which made people feel like seeing flowers in the fog.
"Big boss!"
But when this person appeared, the six leaders of Yemao stood in panic and bowed to greet him, even the second leader Nangong Yin did the same.
No one knew who the big boss was or what kind of cultivation he had. They only knew that the big boss was codenamed "Water Ghost" and had all the information and life and death of everyone.
In Yemao, there was no betrayal.
Those who were chosen as leaders not only had their own lives, but also the lives of their wives and children in the hands of the big boss.
"Be at ease."
The big boss Water Ghost tapped the table twice with his fingers together, motioning everyone to sit down, and then said: "I called everyone here and just said what time it was. You just listen and don't need to reply."
His voice is steady and powerful, slightly hoarse, and has the unique charm of a middle-aged mature man.
But that's about it.
No one can infer the identity of the master from the voice, because they don't even know whether the voice was intentional by the master.
Everyone was sitting upright.
The head of the family, the Water Ghost, stood on the throne and spoke eloquently:
"First point, the latest information shows that the first of the six different parts of the Holy Temple was killed in the Yunlun Mountains. The cause of death is unknown."
"Currently, the only people who know this information are the six leaders and the red-robed ruler, Rao Yaoyao."
"Similarly, this is also the fundamental reason for the sudden action of the Holy Temple at night in the Royal City."
One word fell.
The hearts of the six leaders at the round table stopped beating.
The leader of the foreign division was killed in battle?
Everyone was immediately alarmed. I am afraid that a large number of people will die next.
But the next second, they reacted.
Why does the master know so clearly the information that only the leader of the six departments and Rao Yaoyao can know?
Night Owl's hands are limited to Dongtianwang City.
Not to mention the Yunlun Mountains where the incident occurred is somewhat remote compared to the location of Dongtianwang City, and it would take a lot of time to obtain information.
Even with such explosive information, the headquarters of the Holy Temple must also be under seal.
How did the master know everything?
So fast!
So sure and certain!
Everyone was engaged in intelligence work, and their hearts felt itchy at that moment. Some people could not sit still with their buttocks grinding, and their lips and teeth were opening to ask questions...
"despair!"
The head of the water ghost tapped the armrest of the long-backed chair with his fingertips, and the sound of water dripping echoed in the dark environment.
Everyone immediately thought of what the master just said.
Just listen, don't speak.
No one dares to act rashly at the moment.
On the main seat, the water ghost, who was wrapped in water vapor and could not see his true face, continued to speak without any unnecessary movement:
"Second, the Holy Temple wants to investigate all the forces in the royal city, but this is only related to the matter of death. They don't have much time to waste on ants like us."
"So, be smart. You will all be questioned next. Say what you should say, but don't say what you shouldn't."
"If you can save your life, just state the facts selectively on the premise of saving your life. I don't need to teach you this."
It was the second time that Yuan Haisheng met the leader. He listened attentively and did not dare to be distracted at all. He subconsciously nodded his head when he heard the words and shouted: "Understood!"
The atmosphere was awkward instantly.
"clear……"
"white……"
"cancer……"
In the closed environment, the echo lingers for a long time.
The other leaders brushed their heads and turned their heads, glanced at them, and immediately turned back and returned to their original positions, pretending that they had not seen or heard anything.
Yuan Haisheng's face turned red, his scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He even squeezed the toes hidden in his shoes unconsciously, almost breaking the toe bones.
On top of the throne, the head master looked sideways.
Yuan Hai noticed it with his spiritual thoughts.
He obviously didn't dare to look back, but his head tilted uncontrollably toward the master's seat, and then he met the master's eyes.
Buzz.
Gu Diao/span> His mind went blank on the spot.
What kind of eyes are those?
It's as vast as the sea and endlessly deep.
Looking through the mist, Yuan Haisheng felt that he was like a lone boat in the boundless ocean, with water and sky on all sides, and the sea was constantly stormy.
But the next second, the wave reversed, completely engulfing and swallowing his soul.
Helpless, lonely...
Confused, hesitant...
Just for a moment.
The boss looked away.
However, Yuan Haisheng seemed to have been rescued after drowning. He came to his senses, gasping for air, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat.
"How powerful is this?"
Yuan Haisheng was frightened.
He is in the throne realm.
Because of Ye Mao's job, he has seen many Zhan Dao, including Taixu.
But no one could give him such a terrifying sense of oppression with just one look.
"It's definitely too weak!"
"Moreover, the master is still the top group of people in Taixu, with the most terrifying combat power!"
Yuan Haisheng searched all the memories in his mind, but could not find any Taixu who could bring such momentum and pressure to him like the master.
momentum……
This kind of thing cannot be explained or explained, and it is also difficult to practice.
Only a chess player who has been in a high position for many years and has absolute confidence in himself and all situations can develop an imperial aura similar to that of a master.
Yuan Haisheng suddenly thought of Jian Lao.
That day, he took Jian Lao to the first floor of the sky to make a deal with Xu Shao.
After it was over, Jian Lao once said that there was a giant Buddha sitting on the first floor in the sky. One glance could scare him half to death.
perhaps.
Is the Great Master such an existence?
Possessing absolute momentum to suppress any opponent at a lower level or even at the same level?
The round table seemed to fall into a long silence.
But all of this is actually just a fantasy in the minds of the leaders.
The reality was that the master's words were interrupted, and he glanced at Yuan Haisheng unconsciously. After that, he withdrew his gaze and continued to knock on the chair and talk.
"The matter of strange death can be big or small."
"The leader of the six divisions was killed in battle. You all know how big the impact will be afterwards."
"So, after we go back one by one, we should say what we need to say and do what we need to do. We should try our best to get out of this matter as soon as possible and focus on the intelligence chain of Dongtian King City, you know?"
Everyone nodded silently in fear.
The first of six soldiers was killed in action, only one case in decades.
Yumo, the former leader of the Spiritual Department, is known as the Great Demon King Yumo, and is well-deserved to be the most powerful among the six departments.
In the end, he encountered the Eighth Sword Immortal and was chopped to pieces. The Holy Temple was furious and took action in the five realms, uprooting countless dark forces.
That incident that year, the people who were beheaded due to the impact...
They are rolling and rolling, countless.
After the water ghost said everything, he seemed to raise his eyes and glanced above, and then murmured in a low voice: "It's almost time..."
He lowered his eyes and looked down at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "We have already arrived at the door of our house. Let's go back. The time has come to accept the test."
Everyone stood up immediately.
"yes!"
This time, everyone cheered in unison, then turned and left.
"Fourth one stays." Water Ghost said.
Yuan Haisheng stopped and his heartbeat skipped another beat.
Fourth child, isn’t it me?
It's not a good thing to be called out by the leader after a meeting, especially since he had gone too far in the meeting just now.
At the moment, Yuan Haisheng was worried, but he could only watch a few people around him leave.
Nangong Yin gave him a self-congratulatory look, and he didn't even dare to say a word, and stayed away.
In the quiet dark room, only he and the head master were left.
"Your name is...Yuan Haisheng?" Unexpectedly, the head water ghost did not scold him, but greeted him in a calm tone.
Yuan Haisheng nodded uneasily: "Yes?"
"Haisheng..." the figure on the main seat murmured, with a hint of smile in his tone, "a very nice name."
Yuan Haisheng's heart beat faster.
What's the meaning?
Leave me alone, praise my nice name, and then send me back to the west?
Not so much...
While Yuan Haisheng was still thinking wildly, the water ghost calmed down and said calmly: "Are you in charge of the trading line on the first floor of the sky?"
"Yes." Yuan Haisheng was startled and nodded immediately, "This branch of the Semi-Saint force has a great background, and the leader, Mr. Xu, has very powerful methods. As soon as he arrived, he had contact with Duojin Trading Company, and now he has also contacted the headquarters of the Royal City Alchemist Association There are many things involved in reaching the first floor of the supply chain relationship, and I now treat it as the most important business.”
Although I don’t know what the boss wants to ask.
But Yuan Haisheng immediately said everything that needed to be said.
"Relax." The head water ghost smiled slightly, "I don't mean to blame you. I just want to give you a word of caution."
How dare Yuan Haisheng relax?
The water ghost smiles, life and death are unpredictable.
He was scared to death, feeling that there was something he wasn't doing well enough, and he actually needed the boss himself to tell him how to do things.
"I obey the boss's instructions!" Yuan Haisheng bent down.
The water ghost knocked on the armrest of the seat, seemed to be thinking, and said for a long time: "Everything is business as usual in the trading line on the first floor of the sky. Do things the way you did before. But if the Holy Temple asks you next, no matter what it is, As long as it involves the first floor of the sky, lead it in another direction."
Yuan Haisheng's pupils were shocked.
Listen to what this means...
The first floor in the sky has something to do with the boss?
"Do you understand what I mean?" Water Ghost leaned over.
Yuan Haisheng only felt a sense of oppression and nodded like garlic: "Understood!"
"You don't understand." The water ghost laughed again.
"What I mean is that you don't need to take care of the first floor of the sky. You just need to provide some guidance during the conversation with the Holy Temple."
"in addition……"
The water ghost paused for a moment and then said: "You, a local snake in Dongtianwang City, know something about the strange death."
Yuan Haisheng's knees softened and he almost knelt down: "I don't know anything..."
"I said, you know something!" Water Ghost repeated.
Yuan Haisheng was stunned and then understood what the boss meant.
The water ghost said: "The King of Hell, the Xuyue Gray Palace, the Holy Slave... these are the few large-scale dark forces that have appeared in Dongtian King City in recent days."
"There are only so many forces that can kill the aliens, coming and going."
"I want you not only to know something, but also to find ways to accurately give the information you know about these forces in Dongtian King City to the Holy Temple."
"Of course, it's still the same thing. In verbal conversations, don't be too biased. They will doubt themselves to the point."
After the water ghost finished speaking, his eyes stared straight at Yuan Haisheng through the water mist.
Yuan Haisheng's heart was filled with waves.
An unexpected thought occurred to him.
Could it be...
Is the death of Yi related to the first floor in the sky?
Otherwise, how could the great master allow himself to prefer Baotian to the first floor in his communication with the Holy Temple, while secretly stumbling upon the Holy Slave and other forces?
At this critical juncture, if he stumbles, the Holy Temple will be more likely to focus on other targets.
If it turns out that the target is not the target, I will suffer, but I...
Yuan Haisheng's head was numb. He felt that all this was due to his "understanding" just now, but he had to obey the boss's words.
At the moment, gritting his teeth, Yuan Haisheng solemnly promised.
"The mission must be completed!"
no respond.
In the dark secret room, just like the sudden "understanding" I had just now, there was nothing but echoes.
Yuan Haisheng bent over, the sweat on his forehead passed over his eyebrows and soaked into his eye sockets, making his eyes dry, but he didn't dare to move.
He waited for a long time.
The boss still didn't respond.
Yuan Haisheng felt something was wrong, and secretly raised his eyes, wanting to take a peek.
He looked.
The person in the main seat had disappeared.
"Gone?"
Yuan Haisheng took a breath and relaxed his body, but suddenly saw the wall behind the long-backed chair in the main seat.
There was a relief cat head engraved on the wall of the dark room, which was ferocious and fierce, blending into the surrounding dark environment. Only the faint light at the position of the pupils was left, exuding the breath of death in the silence.
"Night cats don't speak, but night cats are always watching you!"
Yuan Haisheng remembered the first training of the organization, and goose bumps fell all over his body.
He straightened his body, raised his head and chest, and saluted alone in the dark secret room, and then the sound was like thunder.
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Yuan Haisheng, I promise to complete the task!"
