"He's out."
Jiang Ran's gaze followed Li Liubi, who only brought his closest henchman. The two entered a secluded grove behind the bathhouse.
Sure enough, going directly to a place like this would definitely arouse suspicion, which is why he needed to transfer at the nearest bathhouse. However, if he were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, his actions would still seem very suspicious.
So he probably wasn't afraid of being exposed, and his trip to the bathhouse was just to wait for someone.
Now that Li Liubi had left the bathhouse, Yu Cheng also took out a pair of binoculars and started looking around. He also made an extra pair of binoculars and handed them to Gwen.
Soon, Li Liubi and his henchmen arrived at the deepest part of the forest. Before they could find a place to wait, another person emerged from even deeper into the forest.
Li Liubi's expression became respectful: "Uncle Zhao, you're still as elusive as ever."
Zhao Tiao! After learning of the existence of the three chairmen's faction, Jiang Ran naturally investigated the superficial influence of the three chairmen, but the deeper levels could not be uncovered in a short time.
On the surface, Zhao Tiao is a partner of Li Tianhu, one of the three chairmen of the committee. However, judging from his skills and Li Liubi's attitude, he should be one of the two "near-gods" under Li Tianhu!
Is Li Liubi being so cautious because he wants to meet one of his father's top generals? No, that doesn't make sense. Given their status, there's no need to set up such a secluded location for their meeting. They could easily discuss important matters at their own headquarters!
Yu Cheng handed Jiang Ran an earphone: "This thing can simultaneously capture the sounds within your field of vision, Brother Jiang Ran. They're clearly about to discuss something important; you can't tell anything just by looking!"
"Sometimes I have to admit, your ability is really useful."
[Creator] can create anything he wants at will. The consumption will vary depending on the item being created. After the consumption is converted from physical strength to mental strength, it can be said that the mana bar problem that has been troubling Yu Chengda has been solved. In addition, this ability with almost no weaknesses is terrifying!
In fact, this ability has another drawback: the user must be clear about the purpose of the item they want to create in order to create it successfully. This can easily lead to pre-cast delay issues due to the user's hesitation. Otherwise, no one can deal with the Creator before the user's mana bar is depleted.
While Jiang Ran was thinking, Zhao Tiao also spoke at the same time.
"Is there any question that you must discuss in this place without your father's knowledge?"
Zhao Tiao exuded an invisible pressure, causing beads of sweat to form on Li Liubi's forehead.
"I've discovered something, something about demons! After you hear it, you'll understand why I'm avoiding my father!"
Li Liubi's words made Zhao Tiao frown; the other party's words were practically an explicit statement!
"Uncle Zhao, could you come a little closer? I'm still a little worried..."
Zhao Tiao took two more steps forward: "Speak."
"actually......"
Li Liubi brought his mouth close to Zhao Tiao's ear, but at the same time, he flipped out a syringe from his wrist and stabbed Zhao Tiao!
"This guy is probably an idiot."
Gwen shook her head. It was indeed true. Before she could finish her sentence, the situation instantly reversed!
Zhao Tiao grabbed Li Liubi's hand with his other hand, almost breaking his bones! The immense force caused the syringe in Li Liubi's hand to fall to the ground!
They actually tried to ambush a near-god! Even if Zhao Tiao hadn't noticed the danger beforehand, it would have been too late if Li Liubi had only realized it when he made his move. That's what being near-god is all about!
Moreover, judging from this, Zhao Tiao probably already realized something was wrong!
"you......"
"Hmph, I've been through thick and thin with your father. Do you think I'd trust him or you? I never imagined that Li Tianhu, a man of great wisdom, would have his son betray him! If you weren't his biological son, I would kill you right now!"
Zhao Tiao suddenly felt something was wrong and unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood!
Three figures darted out of the woods! Jiang Ran recognized them; they were the three near-god level chief apostles from the Demon Apostles' side!
Gwen took on the role of battlefield commentator: "One of the three of them can manipulate emotions! As fellow [Near Gods], this effect is not very noticeable against enemies of the same level, so their previous arrangement was only to cause Zhao Tiao's psychological fluctuations, and they never intended for Li Liubi to kill him!"
Don't be fooled by the fact that these three demon apostles sometimes seem like goofballs. In reality, they lead a powerful force that rivals the three major committees and is incredibly united, all for the sake of achieving their own goals!
Both in terms of skill and mentality, these three guys are top-tier!
"Damn it! They actually sent three at once?"
Once Zhao Tiao dies here, the balance among the three committee members will change, which is exactly what the Demon Apostle wants!
"Jiang Ran, should we get involved in this?"
"No need, that would put us in an awkward position, and the plot is generally not easily broken."
Three near-gods are ganging up on one! Zhao Tiao should have died here, because he wasn't even confident of victory in a one-on-one fight, let alone one-on-three!
However, his expression was merely solemn, not despairing!
A light rain began to fall from the sky, causing the three chief apostles to pause and their speed to be greatly reduced!
"It's ginger soup! He actually came too!"
Jiang Tang, another near-god level being under Li Tianhu's command. Zhao Tiao was indeed not a rash person and would not come to test the waters alone. He had already called his most compatible helper!
A terrifying battle at the near-god level erupted in the small grove. Li Liubi had already completed his mission and naturally dared not linger in this place, for fear that a mere aftershock would reduce him to dust!
Of course, since he is an important character in the plot, he won't die outside of the plot. But this is the plot, so it's hard to say whether he will die or not. Besides, he himself doesn't seem to realize that he is an important character in the plot.
"Walk."
Jiang Ran had no interest in the battle between near-god level beings and immediately took Gwen to track down Li Liubi! Yu Cheng stayed behind to continue observing the battle and would report any unusual developments immediately!
First of all, the battle is two against three, so the chances of the demon apostles losing are slim. Even if they can't defeat the two, they can retreat safely.
Similarly, since there was only one person difference between the two sides, even if Li Tianhu's two men were no match for him, they wouldn't die here and would have more than enough time to escape, so this battle was not very meaningful.
Jiang Ran definitely wants to find a more important role!
