As night fell, several high-ranking members of Wan Bao Lou, including Deputy Master Shen, gathered in the residence, their expressions tense.
“Deputy Masters, now that the Bloodline Sacred Land and Alchemy Pavilion have both fallen, what should we do?”
“I heard that the sect is secretly investigating whether there are spies from Piao Miao Palace among us. We previously framed those kids from Chen Di Pavilion; the chances of being targeted are probably very high.”
Tian Nan Martial God wore a worried look, his anxiety palpable. After the news of the Bloodline Sacred Land's fall spread, he was extremely anxious, and now hearing that even the Alchemy Pavilion had been attacked made his worries even more significant.
Zhu Zi Shen also had a troubled expression. Although he was the deputy master of Wan Bao Lou, he was not without the possibility of exposure.
“I don’t know what to do either. However, the Empress understands our difficulties and only requires us to capture a few kids from Chen Di Pavilion. As long as we can seize them, it will be a great achievement.”
“But those kids are currently residing in the Blade Valley of the Mad Blade Martial God, and they are being protected by Hong Luan Martial God, Xuan Bing Martial God, and Ba Jue Martial God. With our strength, I’m afraid…”
Tian Nan Martial God was deeply worried.
Zhu Zi Shen said, “The Empress has already mentioned that someone will come to assist us, but they have yet to appear.”
“Someone is coming to assist us? Who is it?” Tian Nan Martial God was taken aback.
“It is I.”
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. Unbeknownst to them, a shadow had already appeared in the residence.
“Who is it?”
Zhu Zi Shen and Tian Nan Martial God were shocked, quickly standing up.
Looking up, they saw the shadow slowly materializing in the darkness, revealing an aged face.
“Lord Wo Long!”
Seeing the visitor, Zhu Zi Shen and Tian Nan Martial God were extremely shocked and overjoyed. The person who had come was actually the longest-serving elder of Wan Bao Lou, Wo Long Sheng.
Wo Long Sheng was the most prestigious elder in Wan Bao Lou, holding a position second only to the Master. Although Zhu Zi Shen was the deputy master and managed many affairs, his status was still much lower than that of Wo Long Sheng.
Years ago, Wo Long Sheng had competed with the longevity of Wan Bao Lou’s Master for the position of Master but ultimately failed. Since then, he had secluded himself in Wan Bao Lou and rarely showed his face. Zhu Zi Shen and the others had never anticipated that Elder Wo Long Sheng was also aligned with the Empress.
With Elder Wo Long Sheng's presence, their chances of success had increased significantly. Given Wo Long Sheng's strength, he could easily restrain the Mad Blade Martial God, making it much easier for them to eliminate Wang Qi Ming and others.
“Greetings, Lord Wo Long.”
Zhu Zi Shen and Tian Nan Martial God hurriedly approached to pay their respects.
“Get up.”
Wo Long Sheng took a seat in the frontmost chair: “Aside from me, the Empress has already dispatched powerful individuals to assist us; they should be arriving soon.”
“Ke ke ke, we have already arrived.”
A chilling voice suddenly echoed in the hall, followed by waves of demonic energy surging forth, and several terrifying figures appeared in the hall.
They were members of the Demon Tribe.
“You are the pawns of the Empress in Wan Bao Lou? A group of strong individuals, yet you can’t even deal with a few kids; how incompetent.”
The leading member of the Demon Tribe swept his cold gaze over Wo Long Sheng and the others, his tone filled with disdain.
Wo Long Sheng felt displeased but knew they would likely have to rely on these outsiders, so he could only say in a deep voice, “So it’s several esteemed members of the Demon Tribe. This is considered respectful.”
“Enough with the nonsense. My name is Qi Mo Duo, and I am the leader of this operation. You only need to take us to the location of the Blade Valley; the Empress commanded that those disciples must be captured alive.”
