Chapter 680: Snakes and rats from the same nest
Hei Jue curled his lips wickedly and said bluntly, "It was you who colluded with the Dark Realm. It was you who tempted us to join after the success of that incident. Now that something has happened, you don't want to take responsibility?"
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "Is this a dog-eat-dog situation? Don't just break up."
Di Xuanming chuckled, his eyes filled with coldness. "They are a den of snakes and rats. They can't disperse until the matter is settled."
As expected, Heng Yu in the room took a leisurely sip of tea and said calmly, "Well, we couldn't have foreseen that things would develop to this point. The city seal was forged by our ancestors' lifelong cultivation and is as solid as a rock. They will definitely be suspicious of what happened today."
He said slowly, "Now we might as well think of a way to dispel their suspicions."
The other three laughed in their hearts. They didn't see him say anything just now, but now he is pretending to be a good guy.
But after weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yi agreed, "Yes, this is the most important thing now."
Hei Jue frowned, "Then tell me, how should we solve this problem?"
Xiao Yi took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's actually quite simple. The seals on the continent have been loosening from time to time. So they said there was a problem with the city's protective seal yesterday, and it's been resolved today."
Heng Yu also said, "That's right. Even if they still have doubts, the competition is coming soon, so they don't have much time to think about it, so the matter will be forgotten."
Hei Jue and Nan Qing's eyes flickered when they heard this and they nodded.
In the private room where the four people were, the flickering candlelight illuminated their deep eyes.
Heng Yu tapped lightly on the table, his fingers slender as jade, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control.
Xiao Yi slowly put down the teacup, his eyes piercing through the night, full of calculations.
After a while, the four of them dispersed, and Luo Li and Di Xuanming also returned to Piaoxiang Pavilion.
Ye Yuan, who had just returned, happened to see them dressed in black and said with a smile, "God Lord, Miss Luo, what were you doing? Were you spying?"
Luo Li snapped her fingers and said, "You guessed it right, we really did go spying."
Ye Yuan was stunned and guessed, "You went to the Territory Lord's Mansion?"
Di Xuanming nodded, took Luo Li's hand and walked upstairs, "Okay, let's go in and talk."
After entering the room, Di Xuanming waved his sleeves lightly, and the candlelight lit up, illuminating the expressions on the faces of the three people.
Luo Li sat by the window, the moonlight shining on her, giving her a layer of silver glow.
She played with a strand of hair in her hand, a sly smile on her lips, "Ye Yuan, guess what Ah Ming and I saw from Xiao Yi?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan's expression became serious, and his eyes moved between the two people, as if trying to read more information from their expressions.
After two seconds, he gave up and said, "I can't guess it, Miss Luo, just open your mouth and tell me."
Luo Li laughed and didn't keep the secret any longer. She told Di Xuanming in detail what she and Di Xuanming had seen and heard tonight.
As Luo Li spoke, Ye Yuan's expression became more and more ugly.
By the time Luo Li finished speaking, a quarter of an hour had passed.
She took a sip of water to moisten her throat. "That's about it, but they only met tonight because of the Dark Realm Rift, so they didn't talk about anything else."
Ye Yuan's face looked unhappy. He said coldly, "They are really brave!"
Di Xuanming picked up Luo Li's water cup, took a sip, and said slowly, "I just don't know what benefits the Dark Realm promised them."
Luo Li chuckled and said, "It's nothing more than a promise to dominate the continent or to journey to the gods."
Di Xuanming's eyes were cold and stern. "Hmph, I just don't know if they can really afford the price of this temptation." Before Di Xuanming finished speaking, he flicked his finger lightly, and the remaining water droplets in the cup turned into a sharp ice arrow, piercing through the window frame and disappearing into the night.
After hearing this, Ye Yuan frowned, like the thickest black cloud in the night sky.
He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the pitch-black night outside. The moonlight was blocked by clouds, revealing only a faint silver light.
His fingers tapped lightly on the window frame, making a low and rhythmic sound, like the faint sound of war drums in the distance, foreshadowing the coming storm.
The candlelight in the room flickered, reflecting the different expressions of the three people.
Ye Yuan raised his eyes and said, "God, you can't go to this continental competition. If they have murderous intentions..."
"No." Luo Li put down the cup in her hand and said, "If we want to find out what their conspiracy is, we really have to go to this continental competition."
"This..." Ye Yuan turned his head and glanced at Di Xuanming, "God, what do you think?"
Di Xuanming stared at the flickering candlelight on the table with a deep gaze.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and gentle, "Ye Yuan, Ah Li is absolutely right. Only by delving deeply into the Tiger's aura can we discover its true strength. We must not only go to this continental tournament, but also go with the most powerful attitude. Let the dark forces hiding in the shadows reveal themselves."
Ye Yuan frowned, "But we have to tell other realms about this. Otherwise, if we rely on ourselves alone and something unexpected happens, others won't lend a hand. But if..."
Luo Li tapped the tabletop with her fingertips and said slowly, "But if you tell them, maybe few people will be willing to wade into this mess, right?"
Ye Yuan sighed and nodded, "Yes, the waters of the Dark Realm are too deep, and they may not be willing to take the risk."
Emperor Xuanming looked at him and said, "Tomorrow, go find a few Territory Lords who have good relations with the Jinglong Territory and tell them the news that someone is collaborating with the Dark Realm."
"If they ask about the source, just say someone else leaked it and see how they react."
Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
Luo Li leaned back in her chair. "There are less than five days until the Continental Tournament begins. This matter must be decided as soon as possible."
Ye Yuan and Di Xuanming nodded, "Okay."
The three of them discussed some details and then went back to their rooms.
The next day, Ye Yuan went directly to find the domain lords of Tianhuang Domain, Yaoyue Domain, and Tianluo Domain.
It was not until noon that he hurried back. Luo Li and Di Xuanming were sitting on the first floor waiting for him. When they saw him come back, the three of them looked at each other and went straight to Ye Yuan's room.
Ye Yuan took a sip of water, put his hands on his hips and said, "Tian Huang, Yao Yue, and Qi Tianluo have the same idea as us, but they are also worried about something happening. I'm wondering if I should comfort them."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and said, "If you want to know what they are up to, the Continental Tournament must proceed normally."
She raised her eyes, her expression firm, "Ye Yuan, tell them that since we dare to go, we must have a way to save our lives. If they go, I will bring them back safely."
Now that she is a Soul King, she can lead everyone to tear through space without leaking the aura of the Tower of Gods.
She has the confidence and the ability to bring everyone back safely.
