While Qin Jinnian was eager to advance, the entire capital was in an uproar!
"Who on earth dared to attack my Night's Watch? And killed five Earth Walkers?!"
At the Night's Watch headquarters, Night's Watch members from all over the capital had gathered together. The entire Night's Watch was noisy and almost in chaos.
These were all ninth- and tenth-level warriors. At this moment, their expressions were extremely ugly, some even looked incredulous.
All the screens in the conference room have been turned on. The large screen that was turned on when the evil church was exterminated last time has now been turned on. The situation is exactly the same as when the evil was exterminated. The night watchmen from various cities have gathered in the conference room.
Noisy voices continued to ring out, they were all asking anxious questions, causing chaos in the headsets, and it was impossible to hear what they were asking.
But if you listen roughly, you can tell that the two most frequently asked questions are "How is the general manager doing now?" and "Who did it?"
After a long period of commotion, a middle-aged man sitting on the podium suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment."
The middle-aged man's voice was so loud that it even drowned out the noisy sounds at the scene. When everyone heard his words, they looked up at him, and then the voices gradually quieted down.
At the same time, the voices in the more than 400 branch venues on the screen gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking.
The man was wearing a white suit. He was about fifty years old, had a rough face, a beard under his chin, and had the aura of a tough guy.
His face was cold and hard, and his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, giving people a feeling of majesty without even being angry.
"The chief, three deputy chiefs, and two advisors were stabbed. The chief was seriously injured and is still in a coma. The other five superiors died, so I will be the chairperson of this emergency meeting."
The middle-aged man's name is 'Ran Chong'. He is the director of the Night Watch's Superpower Department. He coordinates all the superpowers of the Night Watch in Daxia. His cultivation level... has reached the peak of the tenth level.
In fact, his vitality and mental strength have already reached the limit of the tenth level. As long as he is willing, he can break through to the god level at any time.
But Earth Travel is too expensive and requires a large amount of purified water. As a night watchman, it is his duty to suppress his realm.
After all, a peak level ten warrior on Earth is far more valuable than a god-level warrior in the abyss.
That’s why there has been no advancement.
And there are many such people in the Night Watch.
When he spoke like this at this moment, everyone naturally had nothing to say. Ran Zhong was more than qualified enough to preside over this meeting in terms of both qualifications and cultivation.
"First, let me report the situation... About three hours ago today, six superiors were suddenly attacked at the same time. The identity of the assassin is unknown. Except for the chief and Deputy Chief Bai, the other four were at their usual places. The assassin's combat power was extremely high. Except for the chief, the other five superiors had almost no time to react before they were killed. It is estimated that he is at least above the ninth level of the divine rank."
But as soon as he uttered these words, the scene became noisy, especially among the night watchmen from various cities who were not present at the scene.
"What? They were stabbed at the same time? Even though the chief and deputy chief were still at home?"
"Who is the murderer?! The evil church? Didn't they notice the fluctuations of the sacrifice?"
The noise and bustle made Ran Zhong frown again.
"Just listen to me first!"
This time he emphasized his tone. After a moment of silence, everyone looked at him seriously.
He paused before continuing.
In short, the six top-ranking Night Watchmen were all killed at the same time. The chief and deputy chief were not only killed, but also the guards who were at home at the time. The remaining four were assassinated in places they usually went to. In one place, more than 30 people died before they were discovered by the people behind. One of the deputy chiefs died the most aggrieved death, dying in the toilet...
That's a walking earth statue!
He died silently in the toilet.
If the night watchman who followed him had not felt that he had been in the toilet for too long, it would have taken an unknown amount of time to discover him!
This illustrates two points.
First, the assassin’s skills are very strong, ridiculously strong.
Among these officers, the chief is at the eighth level of the Divine Order. The three chief officers are at the fifth and sixth levels respectively. The two advisors are slightly lower, but also at the third and fourth levels.
The God level also has a distinction of cultivation, but it is not as clear as below the God level... For example, below the God level, a Level 1 superpower needs breakthrough materials to advance to Level 2. Level 2 to Level 3 also requires breakthrough materials.
But after reaching the God level, you no longer need materials to break through the realm...
When it reaches the God level, the super power core is called "Godhead"... Of course, this kind of Godhead is not the "Godhead" in myths and legends. It is just a name.
As the divine power and spiritual energy increase, golden light patterns will appear on the super energy core. The more light patterns there are, the stronger the divine power and spiritual energy are.
After ten steps, it will be complete. Then, you will need materials for breaking through the realm... and this realm breaking will reach the 'Source Realm'.
Therefore, the God Realm is divided into 0 to 10 levels, also known as the 'Ten Patterns of the God Realm'.
It is not easy to accumulate, even in the abyss, it is not easy to accumulate. Not to mention on Earth where the spiritual power is far inferior to that of the abyss. Even though the Night Watch has a constant supply of materials because of the support of Daxia, it is still very difficult to polish vitality and mental strength...especially mental strength.
For example, the only chief who survived this time has been called the chief of the Night Watch for thirty years. He broke through to the god level thirty years ago, and until now, he has only eight levels.
Even if he reaches the abyss, he is still considered a strong person.
But even so, he was seriously injured and almost died.
In fact, if the commander-in-chief had not used a treasure to escape at the critical moment... I'm afraid he would have died too.
This shows how powerful the assassin is.
Second, the assassin knew them all very well. Otherwise, it would be impossible to assassinate them at the same time.
To be able to do this, either the other party has been keeping an eye on them, or the assassin has a special search method.
The latter possibility is more likely... After all, these superiors are elusive. Even for the night watchmen, it is not easy to find them, let alone others?
After saying these two points, Ran Zhong said in a deep voice: "The general is seriously injured now, and I don't know when he will wake up. As for the general's assassination, the biggest suspect at present is the evil church... With such means, it is very likely that they will have a big action. This meeting is also to inform all places that they must strictly control and guard against any strange things in the near future. Report to the headquarters immediately! Do you understand?"
"yes!"
This time, the night watchmen in each city obeyed the order in unison.
Then he nodded and said, "Well, people from each city go about their business. Just know about this matter. Do your job well and make sure to maintain public order in all places! It's only been a few months since the evil was killed? We have finally achieved the current situation, and we must not lose it all in one day! Don't worry, the sky won't fall. Even if it does, we old bones are still there to hold it up, understand?"
These words actually moved everyone's expressions, and then the night watchmen in each city all took the order solemnly.
Ran Zhong then nodded and had someone cut off the signals in each city.
Only these people in the capital are left.
"Except for those above the level of deputy ministers, all other personnel should go down first and continue to carry out your tasks."
Ran Zhong continued to speak, and the many night watchmen in the conference room looked at each other, but finally bowed and left.
In the end, there was only one large round table left, with about twenty people remaining.
A black-haired woman who had been silent all this time finally spoke slowly:
"Why do you say the suspect is the Evil Church? The autopsy report is out, and there is no Abyss aura, which means it was a human who did it, not an Abyss creature. The Evil Church does not walk on the earth."
"I know."
Ran Zhong’s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: “But I can’t tell you now.”
"I support Lao Ran on this point." An old man who looked to be in his sixties, wearing clothes similar to Tang suits, with white hair and beard, frowned: "What's the point of telling these people? This is our business."
"There are only six Earth Walkers in Daxia, and now all six have been killed. This is obviously to cause chaos for us. Rather than letting the people below get suspicious, it is better to let the evil church take the blame first. It won't be too late to talk about it after everything is figured out."
The old man's words made everyone else nod.
The black-haired woman frowned for a while before saying, "I just received news from Yuedu that three gods have died. They are suspected to be members of the Li family."
This made everyone subconsciously raise their heads and frown: "Li family god level? Walking on the earth?"
"No, they should be using the purified water to temporarily enter the Moon City... Didn't you guys watch the news?"
"What news?"
"Yun Jiucheng, Luochuan, Lin Quan, and Li Changan from the Super Martial Alliance were assassinated. From the video, it seems that it was Zhang San from Dawn who did it... but I don't think so. If it was really Zhang San, these four would have died. But in the end, only Li Changan died. The Li family was the first to get impatient. Li Changan's father, Li Wenyao, brought two gods from the family to Yuedu and seemed to have fought with the Fifth Chuyin from Dawn, but the result was nothing. But just now, news came from Yuedu that Li Wenyao and the other two were dead. And that's not all."
"Yun Jiucheng and Luo Chuan also died last night. They died in the hospital of the Super Martial Alliance."
The black-haired woman paused for a moment and frowned as she said, "I always feel that these incidents are related to the assassination of the chief and his men."
The black-haired woman's words made many people look at each other in bewilderment.
"These things actually happened?"
"I don't know..."
"You were busy with tasks before, so it's normal that you didn't pay attention. As the person in charge of the speech department, I pay more attention to these things. But it should have spread on the Internet by now. Except for the matters of Li Wenyao and the other three gods, the others should be able to be found."
"And there is another problem... Li Yuqi disappeared. Not long after the news spread today, Gong Luoyue of the Gong family tried to contact Li Yuqi, but failed."
"It's not just Gong Luoyue who's missing. There's also the Fifth Hatsune from Yuedu... She's also missing. At least she should no longer be in Yuedu."
The black-haired woman calmly told him the information she had obtained.
Everyone's expressions became somewhat solemn.
The son of an aristocratic family was assassinated, the god-level of an aristocratic family was assassinated, his superior was assassinated, and the two spokespersons for the Dawn disappeared...
This information made everyone confused. It felt like nothing connected.
But they seem to be connected together somehow.
Because if it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
After everyone pondered for a long time, Ran Zhong suddenly said, "Let's put these things aside for now, and deal with our internal affairs first."
Everyone was stunned, and then they all nodded.
"By the way, can't you contact Consultant Luo?"
Suddenly someone asked a question in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky above the conference room.
"We can't get in touch with her. Not only her, but the leader can't be contacted either."
Ran Zhong said in a deep voice.
"But we can't wait any longer... So, should we contact the Abyss Headquarters?"
Ran Zhong's sudden question made everyone frown.
Everyone's expression was solemn.
"I think there's no rush for this."
After a moment, someone spoke in a deep voice: "What Minister Wei mentioned cannot be ignored. I feel that things are not that simple. At this juncture, the leader cannot be contacted. If we rashly contact the Abyss Headquarters... I am afraid that things will become more complicated. We have an emergency plan, so let's follow it for now."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Then, he seemed to understand the deeper meaning of this person's words.
"I support following the emergency plan first."
The old man in Tang suit thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
“Second.”
"Attached."
Soon, everyone supported following the emergency plan.
Ran Zhong also nodded: "Okay, then follow the emergency plan."
"But the leader can't just sit there and wait... Let's contact the elders and ask them to check out what's going on."
Ran Zhong's words made everyone nod.
"Okay, now that the chief is seriously injured, and we don't know when he will wake up, we will temporarily set the quota to six. The situation is urgent now, and there is no time to go through so many procedures, so let's keep it simple. There are 27 participants, and the top six will be selected by secret ballot. Do you have any opinions?"
Ran Zhong spoke again, but this sentence made everyone present look up, and their eyes flickered.
After a moment, the old man in Tang suit was the first to speak: "I have no objection."
“Second.”
“Second.”
“…”
After the vote was passed unanimously, Ran Zhong made a phone call to give instructions, and soon someone delivered 27 ballots.
Now to choose...
There are six...
Earth walking!
