Chapter 736 True Believers

"woo woo woo woo----------"

The warning sound came from far away, as if it disturbed the candles burning quietly in the room.

The flickering firelight made the things waiting for news open their eyes.

"This is..." He looked outside the house.

"It seems to be a warning of evil spirits attacking." Wangsha, who was accompanying him, also put down what he was doing, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I'll go ask about the situation right away."

"Push me over." Wu has taken off the mask on his face - this thing can make him breathe easier.

"But your body -"

"I'm not ready to die yet, do as I say!" the Pope said, raising his voice.

"Yes, I understand." At this point, Wangsha could only obey the order. Just as he was pushing the wheelchair and preparing to take the other party to the outer corridor, someone pushed open the door to the rest room first.

The person who came was none other than Venerable Pingtian.

"Lord Wu, the evil spirit has appeared again. Judging from the scale, it is a new harassment!" Even though she was always cold, there was a hint of urgency in her tone.

The news made the Pope's heart sink.

The fluke idea that it might be a false alarm was shattered at this moment.

"What about the vanguard going underground?" He couldn't help but grasp the handrail. "Is there any news?"

"The only place we can get in touch with is the camp on the 43rd floor. Now they are trapped in the courtyard and can no longer rescue the deeper strongholds." The Venerable shook his head.

"How could it be... so fast?" Wu Xian asked in disbelief. In the past, evil spirits' attacks were a process of gradual intensification. The forward sentry point at least had a chance to withdraw after discovering the abnormality. But this time, the forty-third floor was already surrounded as soon as the alarm was heard?

"My subordinates don't know." Venerable Pingtian said with difficulty, "This disturbance came very suddenly, and there seemed to be no warning. Now all the troops have entered defensive positions, and the main force is temporarily under the command of Venerable Qitian."

It just happened to be this time.

It just happened to be this time!

The thing had hit the armrest with a heavy punch. The vanguard included not only the general Lord Huntian, but also most of the Jinxia Mission. No matter which one was damaged, it would be shocking news to the Salvation Sect. The observation of the quiet period in the past decades has never been wrong, so why did it happen to happen today?

No, this can't be a coincidence!

A cold light suddenly flashed in the Pope's mind.

Could it be that...the sect has been infiltrated by King Yong? Or is it that there are evil-infected people who have not been discovered by the ring? This possibility is very low, because members who go on missions have to re-test their new rings when they return to Baiyao Mountain. No one can open so many joints at one time. But if there is a traitor in the church, no matter what instructions he gives, it may have the opposite effect.

The top priority is ensuring stability and consistency at the top.

"Go and call all the venerables to the council hall." Wu has looked at the venerable Pingtian and said, "No matter where they are now, I want to see them immediately!"

"Eh? Now?" Wangsha said in surprise, "But the evil spirit is attacking the patio——"

"I won't spend too much time. Each department can stick to it for a while according to the regulations. Go quickly!" Wu Ji repeated.

But Venerable Pingtian did not act according to the instructions.

She closed the door and put a talisman on the door lock.

"You do respond very quickly, shall I say, as a listener? Sensitive, cautious, but at times too emotional."

"Sir Yao?" Wangsha blinked.

He found himself losing control of his body.

"Wait, stop -" The Pope wanted to stand up from the wheelchair, but before he could straighten up, a handful of blood was already sprinkled on his shoulders.

The head of the young man behind him fell, and a large amount of blood mist spurted out from his smooth neck.

During the whole process, he didn't even see how the other party acted.

"What are you doing? He's still a kid!"

"Child?" Venerable Pingtian shrugged, "Exiles like us, how can we even talk about children... He is already fifteen years old, and his level is close to that of a trial leader. His strength is not very strong, but he does not make any noise. Difficult. I don’t want to cause trouble, so I can only eliminate hidden dangers first.”

Wu turned back to look at Wangsha who was lying on the ground, and murmured on his lips, "So... you are the culprit, the root cause of all this... When did it start? When you went to Gao Country to collect refugees? ?”

"What, you think I'm an infected person?" She raised her right hand, the ring on her index finger intact. Judging from the runes imprinted on it, it doesn't look like a fake that has been replaced. "Don't worry, I didn't become anyone's puppet, and I know exactly what I'm doing."

Things have been stunned.

An incredible but unbelievable guess appeared in his mind.

"You are... a follower of King Yong."

A hundred years later, there are still followers of the Eternal King still living in the world, and... this purpose is not achieved by transferring souls.

"You guessed it right." Venerable Pingtian sighed with satisfaction, seeming to express his deep appreciation for his guess. "This magic weapon can identify souls and distinguish the boundaries of chaos, but it cannot see through a person's mind. Just because I have not been infected by evil spirits does not mean that I am loyal to the Black Sect. Coupled with the transformation of the Black Sect's energy, it is even more It made me truly a person that cannot be traced back to the past.”

"You have been in the Black Sect from the very beginning..."

"Even earlier." She returned to her indifferent expression, "His Majesty King Yong has known for a long time that not all followers will accept his ideas, so he gave me the blood of eternal life in order to monitor and control the organization for a long time. It's a pity. Yes, I didn’t expect that Your Majesty would also encounter a despicable sneak attack, so I can only hide myself temporarily and carry out my mission.”

"you you--"

Wu already pointed at the other person with one trembling hand, but quietly touched his back with the other hand.

There is a flaming talisman hidden there. As long as you inject a little energy, you can——

"Snapped!"

Venerable Pingtian stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and at the same time pulled out the Li Talisman from under the cushion.

"Sorry, you can't die here yet." She tore the talisman in half. "Both this organization and the patio itself are very useful to Your Majesty. If something unexpected hadn't happened, I really wouldn't have wanted to do it so quickly."

And that accident obviously refers to the Jinxia Mission.

Wu has finally understood why Venerable Pingtian showed such concern when hearing the repeatedly awakened listener.

Could it be that King Yong also knows about the existence of such people?

"Your master is afraid of...them?"

"Your Majesty has never been afraid of anything!" There was a hint of anger in Venerable Pingtian's tone. "If you guys hadn't resisted the Black Gate because of their timidity, how could Yongchao have ended up like this!" At this point, she said As if aware of his own emotional fluctuations, he lowered his voice again and said, "That's all, the past has passed, and the new future has nothing to do with you, so why should I waste any more words."

After speaking, she took out a bronze ball from her arms and pointed it at the Pope, "Accept your Majesty's gift."
