Ye Wuque's power as a Dao-splitting Great Void God shone in all directions, and the divine soul suppression from the ancient ruins could not suppress it at all.
Therefore, when Ye Wuque was pretending to be "Xuan San" with Xiang San, he was actually "observing" the entire ancient ruins and knew everything about it.
They even had a clear estimate of when Zhu Yi would arrive here.
Therefore, Ye Wuque knew perfectly well what Zhu Yi, the first person to arrive here, did and did during the time before he released his guiding power.
Just as Zhu Yi said, after he arrived here, he did kill the fragmented flesh and blood puppet that had temporarily taken control of the entire ancient ruins' mechanisms.
Then he ordered the other four beast guardians to come over immediately!
But actually, after killing the flesh puppet, Zhu Yi obtained something from it!
It was a mysterious bead, a dull yellow color, about the same size as a luminous pearl, and seemed to be something like the "core hub" of the entire ancient ruins.
Even from a distance, Ye Wuque could clearly sense the characteristics of this bead simply by observing its emitted aura, thus confirming this fact.
So how could Candlelight not sense it?
The discovery and acquisition of this bead can be considered an extremely significant breakthrough!
Perhaps it will be able to fully analyze the entire ancient ruins, and even gain a certain degree of control and dominance!
It is related to the "Level 5 Potential" seedlings and is suspected to be an ancient relic that created the seedlings!
How immense is its value?
If this bead were handed over to the organization, it would surely be an unimaginable achievement!
But now, Zhu Yi isn't saying a word about it!
Instead, he pretended to have gained nothing and was filled with resentment!
what does that mean?
It's very simple...
He's going to embezzle it!
They secretly took this crucial, pivotal bead, and then attempted to seize the entire ancient ruins.
That's why he's acting it out now, creating a legitimate transition so that he has no flaws.
"Our ultimate goal was this promising candidate with level five potential, and now that our mission is accomplished, as for the secrets of this ancient ruin..."
"You, and we all, did our best!"
"But luck is not on our side for the time being, so there's nothing we can do."
"It would be better to send this level-five potential talent back to the organization as soon as possible, to avoid any unforeseen complications!"
"After all, who knows what other traps or dangers might be lurking inside these ancient ruins!"
"Our best course of action is to return safely and complete the mission!"
Sure enough, Xiang San's voice rang out at that moment, his tone carrying a sense of admonition and almost pleading.
But without a doubt, Xiang San's opening statement gave Zhu Yi a perfect way out!
"I'm not reconciled..."
Zhu Yi was still somewhat unwilling and let out a soft sigh.
“I agree with Xiang San’s statement. Obtaining this level 5 potential seedling is already a great achievement! If we want more, we might be in danger again!” At this moment, Jiao San’s voice also rang out, with a hint of tension and panic.
With both of the Great Beast Guardians speaking up, Zhu Yi's stance seemed to soften somewhat.
But at this moment, Zhu Yi turned his gaze and immediately fixed it on Ye Wuque, staring intently at him!
Ye Wuque chuckled inwardly.
Clearly, both Xiang San and Jiao San have made their statements, not only offering a way out but also providing strong evidence!
When it's time to return to the organization and report, Zhu Yi will have a better explanation...
It wasn't that he wanted to leave, but the ancient ruins were still incredibly dangerous. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice. To avoid any unforeseen complications and to prevent the loss of a promising fifth-level talent, he had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw and report back.
In this way, as the leader of this team, he not only made great achievements, but also served the organization wholeheartedly and sought to maximize its interests!
Similarly, in this way, who would suspect that Zhu Yi had done anything underhanded?
Therefore, Zhu Yi's gaze was directed towards Ye Wuque, hoping to see him immediately express his opinion!
"If I don't express my opinion and am just as unwilling as he is, he might find a reason to quietly get rid of me, 'Xuan San,' on the way back."
Ye Wuque knew the truth perfectly well, and a slight smile still lingered in his heart. However, beneath his mask, his face was filled with anxiety, fear, and unease, which ultimately manifested in a tone that was icy yet somewhat trembling!
"Haven't you noticed that Pier-3 hasn't shown up yet?"
"He dared not disobey Zhu Yi's orders, otherwise the consequences would be self-evident! But he still didn't come!"
"My gut feeling tells me he can't make it; he's probably already dead!"
"I...don't want to stay here anymore!"
"I want to leave immediately! Go back to the organization and report back!"
The moment these words were spoken, both Xiang San and Jiao San trembled slightly!
Only then did they realize this, and their expressions beneath the masks turned grim once more!
Upon hearing Ye Wuque's words, Zhu Yi's lips curled up slightly without his noticing, but his eyes flashed, and his voice immediately became low and deep!
"What Xuan San said makes a lot of sense!"
"There's no way Bo San wouldn't come; he might really be dead!"
"If that's the case..."
Zhu Yi looked at the special metal statue in front of him again, as if his last bit of unwillingness had turned into helplessness.
"We have no choice but to retreat first, report everything to the organization, and let them handle it afterwards! Sigh..."
With a sigh, Zhu Yi grabbed the entire ancient nutrient pod with one hand. The little girl with the fifth-level potential inside lay quietly, unresponsive, seemingly in a deep sleep.
"Follow me!"
"withdraw!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi immediately unleashed a powerful force, taking the lead and retracing his steps towards the outside of the ancient ruins.
Xiang San and Jiao San immediately followed suit, and Ye Wuque did the same.
The group of four, along with an ancient nutrient capsule, reached their maximum speed.
This time, there were no obstacles, and the journey was smooth sailing.
Fifteen minutes later.
The moment the four of them successfully broke out of the underground and returned to the surface, back inside their floating warship...
"Hahahaha! We escaped successfully, and under Zhu Yi's guidance, we even managed to obtain this level five potential talent. It was a close call, but we gained a lot!"
Xiang San could no longer contain his excitement and joy, and spoke up excitedly.
Jiao San nodded in agreement.
Ye Wuque simply plopped down and let out a long sigh.
Zhu Yi could see right through the three men's actions at that moment!
Everything is normal, everything is correct.
Zhu Yi was very satisfied with this.
At the same time, his heart was filled with even more passion and excitement.
The core bead on his body was an earth-shattering opportunity that finally landed on Zhu Yi's head!
"The Beast Guardian of Sequence One..."
"This will never be my limit!"
"After I uncover the true secrets hidden within the ancient ruins and digest all the gains!"
"I will... I am also qualified to climb higher!"
