"Elder Wu, we will definitely investigate this matter."
"Well, let's go down."
Elder Wu waved his hand, and the others no longer stayed, and all left, with a somewhat worried look on their faces.
This matter is indeed somewhat unusual, and I'm afraid there may be a big problem.
The so-called investigation is just a formality.
They are all old foxes. They are not willing to go into this muddy water without risking their own lives!
No one wants to die, and they are no exception, and they will not do such stupid things.
Watching everyone leave, Elder Wu sat in his seat and pondered in silence. After a while, his eyes showed a ruthless look.
"Unexpectedly, someone dared to kill the elder of my Dark Sea organization, and even covered up his death aura, so that we didn't even receive the slightest news."
"I'm afraid I have to tell some of the Supreme Elders about this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."
Elder Wu muttered a few words to himself, then stood up and left.
After a while, he came to a large hall with the words "Supervisory Yuan" written on it. There was no one around, but a terrifying aura emanated from the hall. In the entire Dark Sea Organization, there was no one around.
People dare to approach here at will.
Unless he wants to die.
"The Supreme Elder, I have something important to report to Wuzhong."
Wuzhong said slowly, not daring to use any of his true energy, just like an ordinary person, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside.
"Come in."
After a while, a voice came from inside.
Wuzhong bowed and walked into the hall, not even daring to raise his head. Normally, he would not even be qualified to approach a place like this. These Supreme Elders are also very mysterious. Under normal circumstances, they almost never show up.
Only when there are very important matters, one or two people may appear. The rest of the time, they stay in this hall and guard the Overwatch Council.
In the hearts of many people, the backbone of the Dark Sea Organization was once a powerful woman. They regarded her as a belief in their hearts, an inviolable belief. For this belief, they were willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives.
It is this belief that allows the Dark Sea Organization to exist to this day and even become more and more powerful. In the past few decades, it has gradually surpassed several other forces and has become the strongest existence.
Even now, that woman is under house arrest and many elders no longer respect her, but she still has many loyal followers. If that woman did not want to seize power, the entire organization would have fallen apart long ago.
Because as long as that woman says a word, these followers will be furious and will never hesitate without any hesitation.
This is also the reason why many elders who oppose that woman are very afraid.
Even over the years, the Supreme Elder has been speeding up the process of dealing with these people, either gradually marginalized them, or sent them outside, and some even did not hesitate to assassinate them.
Unfortunately, they have always been prepared for this, so the plan was not successful. In recent years, the Supreme Elders have also changed their methods of dealing with it.
That is to constantly use their names to attract more people and power and make them their own. In this way, even if the woman really wants to regain power one day, it will be almost impossible.
As long as those loyal followers are not afraid of death, they have already lost in terms of numbers. It is not easy to deal with the Taishang Elders' faction with so many people now.
In this way, the Supreme Elders would not have to be infamous, and they could also limit that woman's power. Why not?
Wuzhong naturally belongs to the Taishang Presbyterian sect, also known as the Presbyterian sect.
There are a total of six places in the main hall. Each of the six old men is sitting on a futon. Each of them is already very old. Their age and expression cannot be seen, as if nothing can shake their emotions.
"What's the matter?" One of the elders spoke slowly, but it was as if he couldn't see him speak.
If you look carefully, there seems to be a layer of fog surrounding the bodies of the six of them, layer upon layer, making it difficult to distinguish them clearly, making it difficult to see their specific appearance.
Wuzhong said cautiously: "In the organization, an elder named Lu Yan died. The cause of death was very strange. I didn't get the news until today."
"Did you get the news, or did someone else give you the news?"
The elder's voice was neither soft nor loud, but when it fell in Wuzhong's ears, it seemed to have stirred up a huge turbulent wave, which made him unable to bear it. He fell directly to the ground, his body trembling non-stop.
, this fear seemed to hit his soul directly, making Wuzhong feel like his whole body was being seen through.
"I...I..."
Wuzhong's voice was trembling and he was even speechless.
"Okay, we already know about this matter. What you have to do is not to come to us to report and then flatter us, but to investigate now and find out how Lu Yan died."
"Since he has been dead for so long, you still have to get the news through others. This is already a dereliction of your duty. Why, you still want to use this to flatter him? We old guys are old, but our eyes are not blind and our ears are not deaf.
Don’t play such little tricks in front of us.”
"Do you understand? Today is the first time this kind of thing has happened, and I hope it will be the last time."
The elder's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard again and again, leaving him unable to speak, and only endless fear spread.
After the Supreme Elder finished speaking, he felt that this fear was slowly dissipating, and finally he was able to take a breath, but he was still trembling in his heart, even his soul.
"Ming, I understand. Thank you so much for your teachings, Supreme Elder." Wuzhong said.
"Well, when it comes to this matter, there are many weird things. Lu Yan's life lamp is one of them. You can follow this clue to investigate. Of course, don't alert the snake. If you find something, don't be greedy for credit.
Go investigate on your own, this matter is not that simple. If you really find anything, just report it to a few of us, and you don’t have to worry about other things, got it?"
When Wuzhong heard this, even the Supreme Elder said so himself. It seemed that this matter was indeed as complicated as he thought.
Originally, he really wanted to take all the credit, and even the Supreme Elder mentioned some key points. If he couldn't find out anything like this, then he would really be an idiot.
But now the words of the Supreme Elder made him a little shaken. After all, such a complicated matter, if he really lost his life just for the sake of greed, it would be a bit uneconomical.
"Then, Supreme Elder, do you already know who did this?"
Wu Zhong was curious for a moment and asked something he shouldn't have asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then, with a "pop" sound, he spit out a mouthful of blood. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground again, not daring to breathe.
"Remember, there are some things that you shouldn't ask. If you ask too many questions, it won't do you any good and may even cause trouble. Do you understand?"
The Supreme Elder shouted sharply.
"Ming, I understand! I understand! Thank you, Supreme Elder!"
How dare Wuzhong ask more questions and keep kowtowing.
"Okay, now that you understand, please leave here and don't disturb our practice. As before, there is nothing important, so don't come here. Do you understand?"
"I know, I know, those Supreme Elders, I will retreat first."
Wuzhong lowered his head, bowed his body, and slowly left the hall. When he reached the door, he didn't even look back and rushed out in one breath, as if the hall behind him was a ferocious beast that chose people to devour.
