In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
As many people from the Darkest Church were arrested, Zhou Chen's focus also shifted from outward to inward.
Begin to rigorously interrogate every member of the Darkest Church who confirms their identity.
No matter how determined these believers are, not everyone is willing to dedicate themselves to the Dark Church.
So, after a few days, I really found out a lot of useful information.
"It's just that most of this information is out of date."
Zhou Chen sighed quietly, finally able to return to the Empire of the Rising Sun, only to find that the homeland he left decades ago had been tainted by the Dark Alliance. He was extremely angry.
It's a pity that no matter how angry he is... the enemy is hidden so deep that even if he wants to find it, he can't find it.
"Based on the information they confessed, we went to those places and searched them carefully. There is no doubt that they were the base areas of the Dark Alliance."
Zhou Chen sighed: "But that base has been abandoned, and judging from the traces there, it seems that it was abandoned not long ago...it only took more than a month."
"Don't you know where they moved to?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "These believers of the Darkest Church are just tools for the Dark Alliance. Once they sense the danger, they can immediately cut off all connections with the downlines as uplines. Just like now, they
These believers were not told where they had migrated."
"Is there no other way?"
Xu Xuanran was originally full of expectations. You must know that the Dark Church, which had made him so anxious, was completely wiped out in Zhou Chen's hands in just a few days. Thinking about it, the Dark Alliance's destruction is not far away.
But who would have known that the Dark Alliance would be so alert and had already cut off contact with the Darkest Church more than a month ago.
As a result, the information they had painstakingly tortured was all from a month ago. Although it was not useless, it was undoubtedly of little use.
"I am waiting in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. Even though our power is far superior, we can't find the enemy. The line between the Dark Alliance and the Darkest Church has been severed. We just want to arrest the people of the Darkest Church.
Even with all my efforts, I can’t find much useful information about the Dark Alliance.”
Zhou Chen sighed helplessly, looked at Xu Xuanran with accusing eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, I have only been away for a few decades, but you have allowed the Dark Alliance to develop to this extent in our Empire of the Rising Sun... I have to say,
This is your dereliction of duty."
Reprimand the leader of a country to his face.
Xu Xuanran could only listen in silence... looking at the person in front of him who might not be much older than himself based on his age, but in fact when he was young, the person in front of him was his imperial master.
Isn’t training yourself like training a quail?
He reflected: "The teacher is right. It is indeed my fault. I was negligent. I always felt that the secret alliance was nothing more than ringworm of the hands and feet. Don't take it to heart. No one would have thought that they would think of luring those people to rape and fight for them."
...Now, our empire of the rising sun is so tired that its national strength has been greatly reduced, and it has even become a joke to people in other countries.”
He said angrily: "Well, that Prince Fang probably already knows that we plan to deal with the Dark Alliance on our own, but now, we can't even touch the edge of the Dark Alliance... He doesn't say anything, but he doesn't know what's going on in his heart.
Are you kidding us?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be too depressed. No one could have imagined that these people from the Dark Alliance would be so capable that they would go to such lengths to cut off all the people they had developed over the past few decades."
Seeing his usually heartless Majesty so disappointed, Mo Qingyuan felt inexplicably soft and comforted him softly: "Now that the Dark Church has been destroyed, the Dark Alliance's decades of efforts have been wiped out. They want to develop again.
It will probably take at least several decades to reach the previous scale. We have already severely damaged the enemy..."
"It's useless to inflict heavy damage, you have to cut the grass and root out the roots!"
Zhou Chen drank coldly, then suddenly paused, turned to look at Xu Xuanran, and asked: "Prince Fang? What Prince Fang?"
Xu Xuanran was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had never mentioned this matter to his teacher at all.
He explained: "He is the regent prince of the Char Empire. Some time ago, Char's side sent me a message, saying that they had expelled and killed everyone from the Dark Alliance and even the Dark Church in Char's homeland.
Their Prince Regent has unique methods of dealing with the Dark Alliance, and he is willing to personally come to our Empire of the Rising Sun and help us destroy the Dark Alliance!"
Saying that, Xu Xuanran glanced at his teacher with some fear and said: "At that time, I really didn't know how to deal with the Dark Church. I had no choice but to nod and agree... But not long after I agreed, teacher, you
Then I came back, and I thought to myself, since the teacher is here, the Dark Alliance will naturally be able to capture him, so why should we owe the Xia Empire another favor?"
"Then you were worried that I would reprimand you for this, so you didn't mention it to me at all?"
Zhou Chen's eyes widened and he asked: "Wait a minute, is that Prince Fang... surnamed Fang?"
Xu Xuanran nodded and said: "Yes, Prince Fang's surname is naturally Fang."
Only then did Zhou Chen realize that he had asked an idiot question, and he asked: "Where is he now?"
Xu Xuanran replied: "I live in Tianbin Hall."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xu Xuanran always felt that the teacher's tone seemed a little anxious...even...the way he looked at him...wait...
He exclaimed, "Teacher, the cane can no longer be used. I am already a master of ten thousand times, and I am no longer the student I was before. It is disrespectful for you to hit me. It is disrespectful... Get out, everyone."
Everyone, get out of here, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk between master and disciple, do you still want to see your king get beaten?”
Many ministers filed out quickly. Well, in order to prevent Your Majesty from settling accounts later, I still can't watch the Imperial Master beating Your Majesty. I can just silently think about what the situation will be like.
Only Mo Qingyuan stood there quietly without moving, watching Xu Xuanran being beaten up and down, with a look of relief on his face.
After a long time...
"Teacher, don't hit me. Even if you want to hit me, you can at least let me know why you are being beaten."
Xu Xuanran dodged, dodged and blocked, not even a single cane was avoided. All of them were eaten hard. He had no choice but to do it. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't withstand it.
In the end I could only humble myself and beg for mercy.
"Yes, now is not the time to hit you."
Zhou Chen looked at Xu Xuanran intently and asked: "Let me ask you, is Prince Fang also called Grandmaster Fang? His real name is Fang Zheng. He has a father named Fang Huazhong who was assassinated by a blacklist assassin recently? That's right.
, and he also has a confidante named Liusu?"
Xu Xuanran was surprised and said: "Teacher, how do you know so clearly?"
"It's really him!"
Zhou Chen was suddenly stunned, turned his head and looked at Xu Xuanran, and said angrily: "Is he still in Tianbin Hall now?"
Xu Xuanran smiled and said: "Yes, he said that we don't have to worry about him since we have the means. He just happened to have an enlightenment and felt that he was about to break through, so he kept practicing there... Don't worry, teacher, it's time
I have never lost any of my etiquette, and I still keep the teacher’s teachings in mind.”
Zhou Chen said coldly: "It's the biggest disrespect for you not to go to see me every morning to pay my respects. Come on, come with me to see Grandmaster Fang. Since he wants to help you destroy the Dark Alliance, if he takes action,
The Dark Alliance may have been destroyed long ago, so why did I spend so much effort and energy? Xu Xuanran, do you think that I came back to snatch your power, so you took the opportunity to simply exhaust me to death?"
"Teacher, what are you talking about? I just think that no matter how strong the leader is, how can he be stronger than the gods? Now that the teacher has taken action, how can he have any free time..."
"No stronger than a heavenly being?"
Zhou Chen sneered: "That's because you haven't seen dozens of heavenly beings, including the Lord of Yuancheng, who were so frightened by him that they dared not move... Do you know that if he is willing, he can now
He is already the Lord of Yuancheng. He despises the position of Yuan Lord and pushed his confidante to the position. It is simply a joke that a girl of more than 20 years of age comes to be the Lord of Yuancheng. But even so, we can't
I can't even say a word of rebuttal...Xu Xuanran, you actually ignored him for several days, who gave you the courage?"
Xu Xuanran blinked and said, "Teacher, are we talking about the same person?"
"Do you mean to say that I lied to you?"
Zhou Chen once again mentioned the rattan given by the late emperor.
Xu Xuanran nodded hurriedly and frantically, "It's impossible for the teacher to lie to me."
Zhou Chen said angrily: "Why don't you lead the way quickly?"
