When Yuling and others left the underground casino, Wuming also carried Chi Jiang through secret passages and came to a quiet underground space.

Here is the headquarters of Tianzhong Pavilion.

In a quiet room, a masked woman sat cross-legged emotionlessly. After hearing the knock on the door, she just said lightly: "Come in."

With a "squeak" sound, Wu Ming gently opened the door and threw Chi Jiang on the ground.

The masked woman didn't even look at Chi Jiang, she just looked at Wu Ming and asked, "How is Ling'er?"

Ling'er?

This title immediately made Chi Jiang tremble. His doubts and resentments suddenly seemed to be frozen, leaving only boundless fear.

Wu Ming lowered his head, like a docile domestic dog, and said softly and without any sharp edges: "Reporting to your lord, the overall situation has been decided when I arrived, and everything is fine with the young master."

Chi Jiang was like a thunderbolt, and he felt that everything around him was extremely far away from him. Only the word "Young Master" was left lingering in his mind.

How is it possible, how can it be like this? Yu Ling... is actually the son of an adult?

But why... everyone, including Yu Ling herself, seemed completely unaware?

The masked woman raised the corners of her lips and sneered: "Who allowed you to guess?"

Wu Ming seemed slightly startled and said in surprise: "Why, isn't he..."

Chi Jiang just breathed a sigh of relief when the masked woman's next words shocked him completely to the point of numbness.

"He is my lady's child. Even if I die, no one will be allowed to hurt him in the slightest." The masked woman said coldly.

Chi Jiang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his thoughts went blank.

He could no longer imagine that the master whose cultivation was unfathomable and who seemed to have surpassed the peak of the phantom god actually had a mysterious young lady? What kind of terrifying behemoth was she and the force behind her?

Even Wu Ming's half-smiling eyes showed a trace of shock, and it was clear that the truth was completely beyond his expectation.

"Chi Jiang, do you know your guilt?" The masked woman said in a cold and authentic voice.

Chi Jiang was covered in cold sweat and completely speechless.

All his doubts disappeared, but the answer he got made him despair and cut off all chances of survival.

If he had known that Yu Ling had such a relationship with the adults, he would not have dared to do anything to Yu Ling. No matter how resentful he was, it was not as important as saving his life.

Unfortunately now...it's too late.

As Wu Ming said, in Tianzhong Pavilion, there is no such thing as the person who does not know is not guilty.

Chi Jiang trembled all over when he thought of the various tortures in the dark cave. It was his most unforgettable horrific nightmare in the past two years.

"Do you have any other instructions, sir?" Wu Ming asked softly.

The masked woman said calmly: "Do you remember the place I told you? During the final game, someone will definitely sneak in and try to open the node there. You are responsible for leading my masters from Tianzhong Pavilion to stop them. You must not

Let those people succeed!"

"Then what if their strength is too strong?"

The masked woman sneered slightly and said: "This situation was decided upon by me and the emperors of the five feudal kingdoms. As long as a big fish bites the hook, the great ministers of the five kingdoms and I will appear there immediately. Whatever you want

All we did was delay it for a second or two. Don’t worry, there are definitely not many of them, and they won’t reach the peak of the Illusionary God.”

Wuming said softly: "Who are those people...? Do they need to be so solemn?"

The masked woman said in a serious tone: "No matter how serious we are, we can't treat them too seriously. Once they open the node, the entire Sealing Star, and even outside the Sealing Star... will fall into the heaviest disaster!"

She took a deep breath, rubbed her brows and said: "In the past few years, I was careless and only guarded the nodes of the closed domain. I didn't expect that they left the closed domain alone and forcibly removed Qianyu, Qingyu, Bingyu.

The nodes of the domain and the bright domain have been pried open one after another. What has happened is that we only have the last position left, and we will never allow it to be lost again!"

"Ignorance will do its best."

Hearing the masked woman's stern tone, Wu Ming's feminine tone became a little more solemn.

"Well, you go ahead." The masked woman closed her eyes tiredly.

Wu Ming grabbed Chi Jiang and was about to close the door when he suddenly asked: "Sir, do you still need me to send someone to protect Yu Ling?"

The masked woman said without raising her head: "You just have to concentrate on guarding the nodes. With his strength, he can safely enter the final round of the Nine Regions Competition. Let's talk about it then."

"And the Yunlong Kingdom..."

"It's just a matter of killing two phantom god cultivators. It won't cause them to break up. You don't have to worry about this matter."

"Yes, sir." Wu Ming bowed his head and bowed, then left.

As he went down, and then down, the passage became darker and darker, as if he had come to a dark cave where he could not see his fingers.

The fishy smell of blood lingered, and Wuming stepped on dry bones with every step, making a crunching sound.

Chi Jiang could no longer bear the fear in his heart and begged: "Sir, please, please give me a break for the sake of my hard work and no merit in the past two years!"

Wu Ming stopped and said gently: "What can we do? As long as we are alive, there is hope, why should we want to die?"

Chi Jiang said tremblingly: "Sir, what do you mean by this...?"

Wuming took off his mask, brushed Chi Jiang's bloody face with his slender fingers, and said softly: "You are the most rare malleable talent among my men. If you are still alive in a month,

, I will pick you up."

Chi Jiang's desire to survive suddenly rekindled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sir, are you serious?"

"Haha, I never lie to people. Chi Jiang will die from now on, but if you can persevere, you can get a new life. Do you understand what I mean?" Wu Ming said softly.

When Chi Jiang touched his eyes, his heart suddenly felt cold.

Everyone thought that Wuming was the most loyal lackey of the master of Tianzhong Pavilion, and he seemed to always be so docile and courteous.

However, at this moment, Chi Jiang clearly saw that Wu Ming's eyes were flashing with a fierce flame called ambition, so hot that it seemed to burn the whole world to ashes.

"Sir... no, master, I understand." Chi Jiang lowered his head in a hurry as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Wu Ming smiled strangely: "I'm waiting for you to survive the second time."

He grabbed Chi Jiang's lapel and threw him into the deepest part of the darkness. After a while, a miserable howl that was not like a human voice came from inside, faintly mixed with a scream like a ghost. Anyone who heard it could hear it.

It will all be horrifying.

Wu Ming stood quietly for a while, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the passage.

…

At the same moment, two dusty people were standing in front of Yunlang Inn.

"Oh my god, it doesn't look far on the map. How could I come here from Xueyang Country? Half of my life will be lost." Yang Zhaoke looked like he was hopeless and said listlessly: "Xi

Uncle Peng, are you sure they are here?"

Xipeng nodded and said, "I can sense the master's breath. He should be nearby."

"Let's go in and have two cups of tea first. It's such a hot day, even a blood coagulation expert can't destroy himself like this!" Yang Zhaoke encouraged.

Xipeng had just stepped one foot across the threshold when he suddenly felt something and looked to the side of the street in the distance.

I saw Yu Ling and his party had just turned the corner and strolled towards Yunlang Inn.

Yu Ling couldn't help but be slightly startled when she saw Xipeng and the two of them. She didn't expect that they would find this place on their own.

However, Yang Zhaoke became energetic for a moment, waved with a bright smile and said: "Hi, Lingling, long time no see. I heard that you also went for a walk in the Blue Ridge Country? You are so unloyal and you didn't take me with you!" (To be completed.)
