Ling Xuan looked startled at first, then sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he stood up and left, saying that he had something urgent to deal with.
An Yu had been watching with cold eyes, watching his expression and reaction.
Seeing him getting up and leaving, An Yu didn't bother to ask any more questions. He sat on the chair with a straight face, thinking with an expressionless face.
"This despicable bastard must have been unable to make a choice, so he went to ask the ancestor of the demon clan for instructions.
It's just that he couldn't tell the truth face to face because of his face, so he made this excuse."
An Yu thought like this in his heart, becoming more and more disgusted with Ling Xuan's hypocrisy.
…
Behind the meeting hall.
At the end of the corridor separated by a wall, there is a dark, small and dirty secret room, which is specially used for storing sundries.
Normally, this secret room would be forgotten, and no one would notice it for several months.
Only the deacons in charge of housekeeping knew about the existence of this secret room.
Moreover, as a house steward, Akko has been paying special attention to news about powerful aliens recently.
In the past half month, she had received fifty soul-punishing whips and was beaten almost to death. Her spirit was extremely weak and she had been recuperating from her injuries at her residence.
Today she has recovered somewhat from her injuries and her mental state is much better.
But she learned that the alien leader An Yu was driving the black battleship and came to Beiming Palace again.
She immediately realized that An Yu coming to see the Great Demon Saint in person must have something important to discuss.
So, regardless of her own injuries, she quietly sneaked into this small, dark secret room.
She hid in the corner of the secret room, and with a little use of tricks, she could eavesdrop on the meeting hall across the wall.
Ling Xuan and An Yu had just argued, and she had also heard what they said about not giving in.
Tianzhu Mountain successfully blocked the bombardment of the warships, and Ji Tianxing also killed several alien guards, which made her relieved and secretly happy in her heart.
Originally, she listened breathlessly and wanted to know the result.
Will An Yu and Ling Xuan continue to cooperate?
If the negotiations had not broken down, what would be their next plan?
However, something happened that Akko never expected.
Just as she was listening carefully, a black shadow appeared silently in the darkness behind her.
"Whoa!"
This hazy human-shaped black shadow is like a human shadow.
There is no flesh and blood body, no mana fluctuations and soul breath.
He comes without a trace and goes without a trace, extremely hidden.
The black shadow didn't make a sound, but directly shot out a pair of dark dragon claws and grabbed A'ke.
Akko sensed the crisis, turned around subconsciously, and waved his palms to create two bloody palm shadows.
"Bang bang!"
Amidst the muffled sound, the two bloody palm figures collapsed on the spot and were smashed into pieces by the pair of jet-black dragon claws.
In the next moment, the dark dragon claws enveloped Akko.
The space in the secret room is small, and Akko cannot escape at all.
Next door is the meeting hall, so it is not advisable to make too much noise, otherwise your identity will be exposed.
She was so worried that she rushed to the side desperately, trying to avoid the grasp of the dragon's claws.
However, her strength is too weak compared to that black shadow.
The result is no doubt.
She was captured by the jet-black dragon's claws on the spot and held firmly in the palm of her hand.
Five sharp, cold claws trapped her tightly, making it difficult for her to struggle and resist.
Cold black energy surged out of the black claws and enveloped her whole body, leaving her with no strength to move out.
Akko's expression changed dramatically, and deep anger and worry flashed through his dark red eyes.
But she tried her best to stay calm and shouted at the black figure: "Asshole, I am the house steward, what are you doing? Let me go!"
The black shadow's eyes were like two beams of dark red flames, staring straight at her, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Not only do I know that you are the house steward, but I also know that your name is Akko.
Moreover, you have been acting strangely in recent months, secretly eavesdropping on the Great Demon Saint’s plans, with evil intentions!”
Akko suddenly frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking to himself: "Damn it! Is this guy spying on me secretly? Could it be that the Great Demon Saint has already become suspicious of me?
Damn it! I have been cautious in the past two years and have never shown any signs of malpractice.
It’s only the recent appearance of strong aliens that makes me anxious..."
At this time, the black shadow continued: "By the way, my name is Cangying, and I am the shadow of my master.
You don’t have to refute or defend, just tell the master if you have anything to say!”
Sogying's words confirmed Akko's suspicion, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and her whole body became cold.
After a while, the stone door of the secret room opened.
A tall and burly black figure covered with dragon scales stepped into the secret room.
The person who came was none other than the Great Demon Saint Ling Xuan, with a sneer on his face and a cold murderous intention all over his body.
He came to the middle of the secret room and stood there, looking at Akko with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Ake, tell me, why is this?"
How could Akko admit it?
She instantly suppressed the worries in her heart, showed an expression as if she had seen a savior, and said anxiously: "Master Demon Saint, you are finally here!
Please tell Souei that this is a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Ling Xuan sneered and said in a playful tone: "Before, you were too concerned about foreign affairs and wanted to influence my decision.
Now that An Yu is visiting again, you are lurking here again, secretly eavesdropping on the negotiations between me and An Yu.
Tell me, who are you? Who do you work for?
You are a smart person and should know my methods.
If you understand, just be honest and honest, otherwise...hehehe!"
Akko shook his head quickly and argued eagerly: "Master Demon Saint, Akko is unjust!
You also know that A'ke was born in the Blood Guards and spent three months training in the abyss of the sea of blood.
I will only be loyal to the demon clan and the ancestor demon god.
The reason why I care so much about the foreign races is for the sake of the demons!
The strong aliens have evil intentions and ambitions, and are definitely not good people.
Our clan's cooperation with them is to seek the skin of a tiger. Not only will it suffer backlash, it will also chill the hearts of countless people!"
Speaking of this, Akko showed a sincere expression and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Master Demon Saint, you also know Akko's nature, he is good at guessing the intentions of his master, and he helps his master solve problems.
Although Akko is an internal affairs deacon and cannot interfere in government affairs, he is dedicated to protecting the demon clan and wants to make contributions to the demon clan.
It's a pity that A'ke is too concerned about this important matter, which makes you doubt A'ke's intentions.
If I had known this, Akko would have been a housekeeper waiting to die to earn your trust..."
Hearing her words, Ling Xuan frowned and fell into silence for a while.
He stared at Akko with burning eyes, secretly using his spiritual consciousness to detect the fluctuations in her soul.
For a moment, he almost believed Akko's words.
But he was cunning and suspicious by nature. After a moment of silence, he still said with a sneer: "A'ke, you really have a sharp mouth, which is completely different from other blood-clothed guards.
No matter what you say, I won't believe it.
Souei, take her to the Torture Department and torture her!
In addition, send people to search her residence and make sure not to miss any clues."
