As night falls, the hustle and bustle gradually stops. The sky is covered by thick clouds, blocking the brilliance of the stars and the crescent moon. The boundless darkness is like thick ink splashed on the rolling mountains of the main altar. The mountains are darkened and the canyons are quiet. The towering ancient trees
In the dark night, they are like ferocious giant beasts entrenched in different postures, exaggerating the danger and gloominess of the mountains and forests. The nocturnal beasts panting and walking in the rugged mountains and valleys, greedily searching for ideal prey.
Deep in the mountains, four black figures walked on the rugged and winding path, moving forward silently like ghosts.
The mountain forest at night is particularly cold and depressing, and the four black shadows make the atmosphere even more gloomy.
They are the reinforcements of the Holy Spirit Temple this time, the deputy palace master Wei Tianlang of the Saint Realm, the Tian Can Angel of the Semi-Saint Realm, the Fourth Young Master Pei Jian, and a special person who is not in the announced lineup.
The night is gloomy, the mountains and forests are quiet, and you can't see anything except for the shining green eyes of nocturnal beasts wandering deep in the forest.
They exude a heart-stopping aura, frightening nearby beasts, floating silently in the darkness, blending into the night.
After burning a stick of incense, they climbed to the towering mountain less than three kilometers away from the Royal City, and stood on the top of the mountain gazing at the dazzling Royal City.
Silence, everlasting silence!
The figure at the back was panting slightly, tall but very slender, swaying slightly, as if he could not bear the toil of the long journey, or as if he was suffering from some kind of painful torture, and occasionally made an extremely subtle low sound.
Yin.
The three people in front ignored it and continued to stare at the royal city quietly, as if waiting for someone.
Cuckoo!
A low bird song came from the mountains, continuing at a special frequency.
The Heavenly Remnant frowned slightly, and the invisible soul power stirred up the mountain top and dispersed the floating clouds, responding to the prompts of the mountain forest.
Whizzing!
A figure quickly flashed through the dense forests of the mountains, rushing towards here like lightning. Before reaching the top of the mountain, he knelt on his knees and saluted respectfully: "My subordinate Xian Guan, please see the Master of Palace Wei, the Fourth Young Master, and the Envoy Tian Can.
"
This person turned out to be the former top figure in the kingdom’s intelligence system—Skull!
Deputy Palace Master Wei Tianlang raised his eyes slightly, revealing blue eyes that danced like will-o'-the-wisps, revealing a heart-stopping coldness. His voice was hoarse and weird, like the friction of sandpaper, sounding horrified: "Palace Master trusts you,
I reused you and ordered you to lurk in the royal city for hundreds of years and control the kingdom’s intelligence lifeline. But in the end, you watched helplessly as the power that was right in front of you was taken away by a eunuch!"
"This subordinate is guilty!" Yan Guan lowered his body hard, his thin face became more and more tense: "This subordinate is heading to the Xingluo Ancient Kingdom to trace Tang Yan's whereabouts. I never thought that Eunuch Zuo would get the news before me during this period, and
Offer your suggestions and advice, and win the favor of the king."
The Tiancan envoy suddenly turned around, and a cold and murderous aura suddenly enveloped the skull, and his voice was cold: "We will not listen to the explanation! At this critical moment, if you lose control of the intelligence, you have already posed a threat to our operation."
The skull did not dare to resist the oppression, let alone explain. He allowed himself to be suppressed by the murderous aura, and his skinny body almost fell to the ground.
The Fourth Young Master accompanied Jian a few steps forward and stood on the cliff overlooking the brightly lit royal city: "According to the information you sent before, Eunuch Zuo is not very capable. How could he bypass you and easily locate Tang Yan's whereabouts?
Can you determine the movement of Jiulong Ridge? Tell me, what exactly happened? If you haven't investigated clearly until now, there won't be much meaning in your stay in this world."
His tone was slightly calm and indifferent, but his murderous aura was unmistakable.
"At noon three days ago, a man and a woman came to the intelligence office in the outer city of the royal capital and bluntly stated that they wanted to contact Eunuch Zuo. At that time, they were received by Hof, who quickly led them to a secret meeting with Eunuch Zuo at Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. After that, Eunuch Zuo
After the hurried attack, the king then asked his ministers to discuss the affairs and granted Duke Zuo the authority to handle the entire estate.
The subordinates have found out that the man and the woman are from Sky Eye. The woman is Victoria, the first-level intelligence officer of Sky Eye. For many years, she has been fully responsible for the intelligence operations of Sky Eye in arbitration, assault, and Arashi Stone Three Kingdoms. The man claims to be a special intelligence officer. His specific identity
Unknown.
They brought news about Tang Yan and agreed to track Jiulongling and Tang Yan on behalf of the Kingdom system until they entered the Kingdom capital, but I don’t know what conditions they disclosed to Duke Zuo.”
"Eye of the Sky? Their purpose has always been to not interfere in any disputes between forces, so how could they leak Tang Yan's whereabouts without any reason?" The Fourth Young Master's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice: "Did Eunuch Zuo contact them, or did they contact them on their own initiative?
Eunuch Zuo?"
"They should have taken the initiative to contact Eunuch Zuo. Their subordinates thought there must be something fishy, and they have been trying to find ways to investigate the conditions they presented to Eunuch Zuo. But they were very cautious at the time. Only Hof and Eunuch Zuo were present, and the conversation only lasted half a minute.
Tea break."
The Heavenly Remnant frowned and asked: "Is the whereabouts of Tang Yan revealed by the Heavenly Eye true? Have you investigated carefully?"
"My subordinates have ordered people to investigate, because Tang Yan is guarded by the husband and judge of Jiulongling, and he does not dare to pursue too closely. The news transmitted is very vague. Suspicious traces are found, but it cannot be officially confirmed." Yan Guan lowered his head.
It was very low and the sound was very weak.
I have worked hard in the Arbitration Kingdom’s intelligence system for nearly a hundred years, and have reached my current position step by step. I can be said to have controlled about 80% of the Kingdom’s intelligence stations. I just hope that the Holy Spirit Temple can produce results worth being proud of when it invades the Arbitration Kingdom. But who has ever
Think... at the critical moment when the Holy Spirit Temple finally started to use him, something like this happened!
He could feel the strong dissatisfaction of the three senior executives, but Eunuch Zuo's move caught him completely off guard, and he has not been able to break out of the chaos until now.
"I feel something is fishy." The Fourth Young Master frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a sinister gleam: "Until we find out the real reason why the Sky Eye intervened in the Arbitration Kingdom incident, the operation cannot continue."
"I'll give you one last chance." Tian Canshi stared at the skull coldly and said in a bad tone: "Before dawn, you must find out the true content of the transaction between Tianyan and Eunuch Zuo, or else we will come to see you!"
"My subordinates have a suggestion. If we want to regain the initiative simply and quickly, we need to start with Hof and Eunuch Zuo, and let one of them be used by us! Eunuch Zuo is sitting in the palace and will not leave the palace easily, but Hof has been in the palace in recent days.
With frequent activities, there are many opportunities that can be taken advantage of. This subordinate boldly asks Lord Tianzhanji to use soul compulsion to search for Hof's memory."
…………………………………………
In a hotel in the outer city of the royal capital, not long after Tang Yan and others had just returned, Judge No. 2 followed them in.
"Here we come! The Holy Spirit Temple stopped briefly at the Main Sacrifice Mountain, as if meeting someone. Now we are starting again. We are expected to enter the city soon, and Mr. Ruthless is following him personally." The No. 2 Judge gulped down cold water and sighed heavily.
He exhaled. Tracking the freaks in the Holy Spirit Temple is not an easy task. You have to be wary of their soul probing at all times. The journey is peaceful but thrilling.
"Everything is normal?" Nian Wuxin and others gathered in Tang Yan's room.
"I really found a problem. I don't know whether it was Eunuch Zuo and the others who deliberately missed the information, or whether the Holy Spirit Temple deliberately hid it. In fact, they sent not three people, but four people!!"
"What? How come there is one more person? What kind of strength?" Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.
The Holy Spirit Temple is full of soul-type warriors, which are inherently unpredictable, especially the saint-level soul warriors. Even Nian Wuxin can't guarantee that they can control the situation. If there is one more, they should really renegotiate the countermeasures.
"We didn't dare to get too close. We were chasing the traces they left all the way. According to our guess, the strength will not be too strong, and the extra people will be at the back of the team most of the time."
Tang Yan pondered for a moment and asked: "Who did you just mention that they were meeting outside the city?"
"That's right, it's probably someone from the royal city. The Dragon Tooth Troops are investigating. If you wait a little longer, there should be clues soon."
Tang Yan asked Victoria: "Hov didn't give any more news?"
"I just sent one this morning, about the distribution of strength in the inner city. This time they have gathered almost 80% of the strong men in the kingdom, a total of four semi-saints, fifty martial masters, and two hundred and thirty-eight martial kings.
Counting the Holy Spirit Temple, there are five half-saints, and the lineup is very strong."
"Leave it to me to deal with the companions. Don't worry too much about the other half-saints. There are five of us, not much worse than them. The original plan has been slightly changed. Luo Hu just got some treasures. Let him resist three by himself, and the three judges will take care of him.
For the remaining two, fight quickly and support Luo Hu. The Grand Palace Master is responsible for breaking the seal. The remaining Martial King Wu Zun is left to Dragon Fang and Dragon Thorn to deal with, and only needs a little delay."
"The actions of the three judges are the key point. The sooner you deal with your opponents, the smaller our losses will be and the greater our hope of victory."
"No problem! Except for the half-saints from the Holy Spirit Temple who are a little troublesome, we don't pay attention to the semi-saints from the Arbitration Kingdom." The Grand Judge tends to be arrogant, but he has the capital of pride, and the five major judges all have the capital of pride.
"Remind you, don't underestimate the capital of the Arbitration Kingdom. They have special weapons in the inner and outer cities, called wind and thunder blasts. They can activate very terrifying wind and thunder energy groups in an instant. Five high-level martial kings use all their strength to activate them.
It can threaten the Martial Lord. If the Martial Lord comes to trigger it, it can instantly kill the same level and threaten a higher level."
"So we try to move the battlefield outside the city as much as possible." Tang Yan rubbed his forehead and muttered, "We are in the light, they are in the dark. Wait for the ruthless father-in-law to come back, and then attack the Holy Spirit Temple first according to the situation! React in the inner city of the kingdom.
