Meng Danruo quickly helped her up: "Don't rush, you two should take care of yourselves first."
An Ning, Third Brother Hua, and the Hua family head are all here; how could anything happen to her? I'll find out about her; you two come over here to check.”
As Kulei was being pushed into line to wait for inspection, his long-dormant communicator came online.
The basic network and communication functions of the "Blue Whale" system have been restored, and communication has been reconnected.
As soon as the communication was established, Hua Anning called from Kulei's side:
"Kurai? I can't get through to Bai Xie and Lingren. What about them?"
Kulai said, "They are not in any danger, but... out of the three teams, only I, Tian Tiantian, and Meng Danruo are awake right now."
Hua Anning suddenly fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
A bad feeling welled up in Kulei's heart: "Ningning, what happened?"
Hua Anning's voice trembled slightly, carrying a suppressed sob:
"Lele...something happened."
...
Ten thousand miles away, in the small town of Garud on the western continent.
It was already morning in the town, and the sun was shining brightly.
This is a bustling and peaceful town. Because it is located deep inland and within the largest city in the state of Gevis, it has never been seriously disturbed by alien species in the past hundred years.
Over time, it became a sanatorium for countless powerful and wealthy people.
Amidst a scene of peace that seemed out of place in this era, a weary traveler entered the Vimo Tavern in the town of Garud.
In the sweltering heat of midsummer, he was wearing long sleeves and trousers, and even pulled up his collar to cover the lower half of his face, which looked really strange.
Fortunately, there are plenty of mysterious people these days, so it's not too abrupt.
He walked to the bar, looked up, revealing a pair of upturned fox-like eyes, clearly an Asian face.
He lowered his voice and said in the official language of the Western Continent, "A tequila sunrise."
The bartender in the white shirt and with his hair slicked back adjusted the candy stick he was holding, and glanced up slightly: "Fox?"
"uh-huh."
The bartender smiled and pointed.
The man nodded, turned, and went upstairs.
He went up to the deserted rooftop and entered one of the rooms.
He released a surveillance detector to confirm that there were no surveillance or listening devices before taking off his coat, revealing a naturally charming and alluring face.
This person was none other than Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took out a round vessel and placed it on the table. The transparent light shield spread out and covered the entire room, forming a barrier between the audio-visual room and the screen.
He then took out a uniquely designed communicator and sat down at the table. The communicator connected, and Lu Sheng put on his specially made glasses to enter the virtual world.
The dimly lit Western-style hall
At the top of the steps, there was a throne engraved with sun and moon patterns, upon which sat a person whose figure and face were completely obscured.
Below the first step, there are four high chairs on each side;
Below the second step, four people stood on each side.
Lu Sheng's projection appeared on the second high chair on the left side of the first step, in the shape of a fancy fox.
On his left and right sides were a voluptuous woman and a battle axe, respectively.
Before long, a shadow fell on all the chairs, some as objects, some as living things, and some as people, each representing the person behind the shadow as a symbol.
With everyone present, a smiling young man on the first high chair on the right began to speak:
"Everyone is present. The 13th meeting of the God-Making Faction Elders Council and the Palace Master Pavilion is now beginning."
Please ask your questions in turn.
Lu Sheng's gaze swept over the projection of the 17 people present, a smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
The 17 people present, plus Dong Gui, who had been drained of his life by Bi Yin and died, were the core members of the God-Making Faction, and also all the members of the Elders' Council and the Temple Master's Pavilion.
The eight people at the bottom, plus Dong Gui, are the nine hall masters of the God-Making Sect's Hall Master Pavilion.
The eight people in his position were the nine elders of the council of elders.
As for the person at the highest point, he is the acting Holy Lord and Chief Elder of the God-Making Faction, codenamed Hades.
The supreme leader of the God-Making Faction, or rather, the being of faith, is the evil god who founded the "Integration School" and the only "Holy Lord" of the God-Making Faction.
Although the evil god is dead, the actual supreme leader of the god-making faction throughout history is still only referred to as the "Acting Holy Lord" to show respect for the Holy Lord.
No sooner had the young man finished speaking than one of the temple lords stood up:
"May I ask the Grand Elder, since Dong Gui acted arbitrarily and failed to report the incident, resulting in heavy losses within the sect, should those responsible be held accountable?"
Then, the person opposite him stood up and said:
"Shouldn't you reflect on yourselves before saying that? If you hadn't blocked the main force from supporting them, how could Donggui, Salgano, and his men have died in vain?"
The person who spoke first sneered: "That's cutting your losses in time. Trusting something that's completely uncontrollable is like hurting the enemy a thousand while hurting yourself eight hundred. It's utterly foolish!"
"Are you questioning the resolution jointly passed by the elders?"
The two exchanged barbs, turning the meeting into a heated argument.
"Heh." The alluring woman suddenly looked at the fox slumped in the chair.
"Fox, can you sit still?"
The fox that Lu Sheng projected lazily shifted its posture and said unhurriedly, "You can sit still even after your disciple self-destructed, so why can't I sit still?"
The woman sneered, "Kazmir? He's not worthy to be my apprentice!"
"He is at least under your command, one of your 'radicals'."
"Just an insignificant pawn, made a mistake, and died. But what about you?"
