"I'm happy to fail, so you don't need to feel bad for me," Wang Yao chuckled. "Traceless" activated, and in the blink of an eye, he was back at Happy Bar. Cai Xia and her group of immortals were chatting enthusiastically there, and when they saw Wang Yao return, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Where is Haodashi?" Caixia asked in surprise.
"He had something to do, so I came back first," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Then... has Mr. Haudas arranged our destination for tomorrow's inspection?" Liglong asked from the side.
“Um… he didn’t tell me that.” Wang Yao shook his head. The reason he rushed back was not because he was afraid that Haoda would turn against him, but because he had thought of a very important point: he had not come to the Western Regions alone.
The fairy maiden and Hu Fei are not only far inferior to Wang Yao in terms of cultivation level, but they are also kept in the dark. If Hao Dashi finds that his attempts to win over and threaten Wang Yao are ineffective, and then turns his attention to these immortals below him, then that would be a huge problem.
Even if Wang Yao manages to escape unscathed, it would be an absolutely unacceptable outcome if anyone in the inspection team were to perish in the foreign territory. Moreover, finding someone to replace them would also be a headache.
Now that he had spoken openly with Haoda Shi, Wang Yao had to consider how to ensure the safety of his immortal subordinates.
Given the current situation, is there any point in staying to continue the investigation? If we go back now, will the foreign experts let the investigation team leave safely? What if the foreign experts cause trouble? Just as Wang Yao was pondering this anxiously, Liglong suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Mr. Haudas is calling!" Liglong hurriedly held the phone to his ear, "Yes, yes, yes... Yes, yes, yes... I understand... OK... OK..." He mumbled something for a while, then put down the phone and smiled at the immortals.
"Mr. Haudas said he had something come up and couldn't continue accompanying you all, so he specifically asked me to apologize on his behalf. At the same time, Mr. Haudas also designated Mr. Paul Datin, the head of the intelligence agency, to contact us and arrange our subsequent investigation schedule. Mr. Haudas also specifically mentioned..."
“If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Mr. Pauladin. He will do his best to meet your needs,” Liglong said to everyone.
"Um... since we're about to officially begin the investigation phase, I wonder if Mr. Liglong could give us some time to assign our respective investigation tasks?" Before anyone could speak, Wang Yao immediately asked.
Wang Yao initially planned to simply suggest abandoning the investigation, and everyone should immediately return to the Six Realms, passing the buck back to the Foreign Realms to see what they would dare to do. However, upon further reflection, he realized that the risk of doing so was still too great.
After all, apart from him, the other immortals in the expedition were still in the dark and did not know what had happened between him and Haodashi. They certainly did not understand why he suddenly turned back home.
Furthermore, if the inspection team immediately changes its itinerary, it may provoke the foreign gods to act desperately. Since everyone's cultivation levels are uneven, if they encounter an attack by the foreign gods, there is a high possibility of accidents. Therefore, the matter of returning to the Six Realms should not be rushed.
Although everyone will be back later, the foreign gods will be much more relaxed in dealing with them. But as long as Wang Yao is given some time, he can make the members of the inspection team mentally prepared. They are all experienced old gods and will surely be able to come up with a suitable way to protect themselves.
Therefore, Wang Yao did not rush to propose interrupting the investigation. Instead, he asked Liglong to give everyone some time so that Wang Yao could first unify the thoughts within the investigation team.
"Um... okay, I... I'll go to the bar and wait there. You guys can discuss it all, and once you've decided, come to the bar and we'll continue our trip." Liglong didn't seem to mind. He greeted everyone and turned to walk towards Happy Bar.
"Wait a minute, could you please lead us away from here first?" Wang Yao glanced at the inspection team, hesitated for a moment, and then called out to Liglong.
This entire area belongs to Haodashi. Although Wang Yao can set up a soundproof barrier, who knows what other tricks Haodashi has up his sleeve? No matter how careful you are with Mahayana cultivators, it's never too much. So Wang Yao ultimately decided to leave the Russian interface and find an opportunity to explain things to everyone later.
"Okay!" Liglong shrugged and beckoned the inspection team into the Happy Bar. Once inside, they discovered that the goddess named Jona was gone; the bar was empty, with only the colorful lights flickering forlornly.
Liglong pushed open a small door next to the bar, nodded to the immortals, and they filed in through the door. Wang Yao, wary, deliberately walked at the back. After entering the door, everything went dark, then brightened again, and Wang Yao found himself on a bustling street.
He looked around and realized that not only was Liglong gone, but also the Fairy Maiden, Caixia, and all the other members of the expedition team were nowhere to be seen. He had become a lonely immortal. Wang Yao hurriedly took out the Six Realms Telephone and dialed the Fairy Maiden's number, but all he heard was a busy signal.
The Six Realms Pass can't be used in the foreign territory? Wang Yao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He realized he had been too careless and had unknowingly fallen into the trap set by the foreign expert, which separated him from the members of the inspection team. He looked back and saw a small supermarket behind him with its door wide open. Every time someone entered or exited, a crisp "ding-dong" sound came from the door.
Wang Yao was facing a busy intersection, with vehicles coming and going from all directions, traffic lights flashing alternately, and foreigners hurrying past him. He turned his head and looked around, but he couldn't find the crossing he had come from.
The cross-border passage is most likely inside this supermarket. Wang Yao wondered to himself, then turned and entered the supermarket. He heard a "ding-dong" sound, and a mortal's head popped out from behind the cashier counter by the supermarket door, glanced at him, and then lowered its head again.
