“According to insiders, Zhuang Sheng’s new disciple will be wandering back and forth between the four city gates in the next few days.
We just need to guard the east gate, and when he leaves the city, we must kill him with one strike.
Don't give the city guards a chance to react."
The snake woman's entire body lay on the table as if it had no bones, and her slender tongue stretched out from between her rosy lips and teeth from time to time, making a "hissing" sound.
"Master Ye, there's no problem with us going on a mission, but there has to be a set of rules. Otherwise, if we die, it won't be a big deal, but if we delay the High Priest's plan, that would be a big problem."
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him indifferently, and on his face, which looked like a dead tree, he struggled to force out a strange expression, which looked like a smile but more like a mockery.
"The high priest has prepared everything for us, you will know when the time comes.
All for the glorious evolution."
When he said the last sentence, he lowered his head slightly, and with his dead wood-like hands, he made a triangle symbol on his chest.
His action seemed to be a signal, and everyone present lowered their heads slightly and made the same triangle sign.
At the same time, he murmured devoutly: "Everything is for the glorious evolution."
"Tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock, meet at the Caiyuan Hotel, three kilometers outside the East City Gate. I think no one should be late."
Leaving behind the last threat, Ye Zhiqiu's figure continued to descend, and no one knew where he was going as he passed through the ground beneath his feet.
The others looked at each other slowly, then put on their robes of different styles again and left the gathering place in different ways.
On the dark street, the snake woman, wearing a wide cloak, walked slowly in a posture that seemed a little strange to others.
Suddenly she seemed to realize something and looked behind her, seeing a figure also wearing a loose purple robe and looking a little bloated.
"Zheng Huo, the meeting is over. What are you doing following me? Are you planning to..."
The delicate chin and the rosy and plump lips revealed under the robe actually gave people a sense of charm at this moment.
Zheng Huo, who was called by her name, took off his hood generously, revealing a somewhat resolute face.
"Snake girl, from what I know, your snake tribe should be most afraid of the low temperature environment outside the city, especially the lower-level snake people."
"Hmph, so what?" A cold gleam flashed in the snake woman's eyes. "I think the High Priest should have a reasonable arrangement."
"Haha." Zheng Huo laughed softly as if he had heard something funny, "Don't tell me that you, a snake girl, would believe such lies to deceive children.
We are all just experimental subjects, the kind that can be sacrificed at any time when needed. As long as we don't reach the star level, we are just failures.
So you really think that Ye Zhiqiu and the High Priest would waste resources for our transfer?"
Snake narrowed her eyes slightly, "So, what are you going to do?"
Zheng Huo walked up to the snake girl and uttered a sentence that turned her eyes into snake pupils.
"Kill Ye Zhiqiu, and the two of us will continue to hide in the city."
"Are you crazy? If we kill him, how can we successfully escape the dual pursuit of the Capital Law Enforcement Team and the Evolution Saint Society?
And without the High Priest's potion, our evolutionary journey ends here. I can't possibly cooperate with you."
After saying this, the snake woman frantically distanced herself from Zheng Huo.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today. Let's say goodbye now."
"Haha, I want to leave."
Zheng Huo let out a light laugh, and two thin white threads shot out from under his wide cloak towards the snake woman.
The snake girl looked at the white silk, a trace of fear reflected in her eyes, "How is it possible, you are a star level..."
However, before she could finish her words, her figure was hidden under the white silk, and the snake girl was wrapped into a giant white cocoon.
Zheng Huo looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. He heard a sound of breaking air in the distance. His eyes changed, and then he used a thin thread to pull the snake girl's cocoon and quickly left the dark alley.
The law enforcement team members riding on giant eagles arrived late. The giant eagle patrolled around the dark alley several times but did not find anything unusual.
After a while, he left the area.
…
On October 9th, 552nd year of the New Calendar, the sun did not rise as usual...
At eight o'clock in the morning, some of the soldiers of the city defense army left the city in an orderly manner, continuing yesterday's work and building the monument with their own hands.
They didn't know the purpose of building such a large monument. They just followed the orders of their superiors and completed their tasks normally.
As they filled the mold with the special "cement" delivered by the machine next to them, shovel by shovel.
In places they couldn't see, a little bit of spiritual light was also mixed into the monument. Apart from that, these monuments seemed no different from ordinary monuments, they were just more magnificent and taller.
As the city guards on duty changed several times, the sky gradually darkened, with only the falling white snowflakes reflecting the light from the beast taming skills.
In the mezzanine on the seventh floor of the Caiyuan Hotel, not far from the East City Gate, Ye Zhiqiu looked at the time.
"It seems..."
The sound of a door opening with a creak interrupted his subsequent words.
"We are not late, are we?" Zheng Huo said.
There was another figure behind him, but the face and upper body were hidden in the robe, and a small part of the snake tail in the lower body was inadvertently revealed.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at them and said, "The timing is very accurate."
He glanced behind Zheng Huo again and found that there was no other figure. He spoke in a dull voice,
“No one else will come.”
Fingers as dry as branches stretched out from under his robe, with four blood-red crystals on them. Then he clenched his palm hard, and the four crystals shattered into powder.
A cloud of red mist emanated from inside, and then a steady stream of energy flowed into Ye Zhiqiu's body from the void. His already unfathomable aura became even more terrifying.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhiqiu said as if talking to himself, "It seems that some people didn't take my warning to heart, so I don't mind letting them become the nourishment for my growth."
Zheng Huo sneered in his heart. Was this a warning to them?
Glancing at the other pale-faced people in the room, it seemed that Ye Zhiqiu's deterrent effect was quite good.
Ye Zhiqiu took a last deep look at Zheng Huo, who was almost late, and the snake girl behind him, and there seemed to be deep regret in his eyes.
Zheng Huo couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Old Bangcai, you also want to absorb him as nutrients."
