2540 The bone surrenders (1)
The bone was filled with worry as it headed straight for the city Lord’s mansion.
At this moment, he was constantly thinking about the task that litt had given him. How should he do the research?
This matter seemed easy, but it was not easy to do. It was far from as simple as secretly informing them.
The church of the alarm Bell’s believers didn’t have a high sense of acknowledgment for their religious leader. They even regarded him as a dispensable existence.
As a legend of the church of the alarm bell, he only needed to be a totem quietly. He didn’t need to show up and give orders.
The reason for this was that in order to maintain a sense of mystery, Ritt rarely came into contact with his believers.
It had been the same for so many years, and the number of believers who had seen litt’s true appearance could be counted on one hand.
As time went by, the Hierarch’s sense of Majesty had gradually faded. To ordinary believers, the Hierarch’s existence was dispensable.
If you don’t believe it, just look at the previous Defense Battle. The Hierarch didn’t participate in the whole process, but the believers still fought to the death and resisted the monster’s attack.
They were able to do this all because of their strong beliefs, trying to save themselves and the world.
Since he could do it without a Cult Master, what was the use of having an unfamiliar Cult Master? it was equivalent to putting shackles on himself for no reason.
There were even those with ill intentions who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to obtain more power and benefits. The sudden appearance of the church of the alarm Bell’s Bishop was obviously their biggest obstacle.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to win over the believers of the church of the alarm bell and help litt regain the position of the Bishop.
The bone made a list of all the core members of the church of the alarm, analyzing who would help and who would stand by and do nothing.
Before he knew it, the bone had already returned to the city Lord’s mansion.
After checking his surroundings and making sure that no one was paying attention to him, the bone returned to the area he was in charge of defending.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard footsteps coming from behind him, heading straight for his position.
When he saw who it was, the bone’s heart beat wildly.
The newcomers were Tang Zhen and you Jiu, who was pretending to be the sect master. They stood not far away, staring at the bone.
A feeling rose in Gu Xin’s heart after seeing Tang Zhen and his partner. The other party should have come for him.
Although he felt a little weak in his heart, he still braced himself and bowed to Tang Zhen and you Jiu.
“Cult Master and Sir Tang Zhen, may I know where the two of you are going?”
“We’re not going anywhere. We’re here to find you.”
You Jiu said with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The bone panicked even more, but he remained calm on the surface. At the same time, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, ” “I wonder what you two want from me?”
“Don’t be nervous, it’s just a small matter. Look at how scared you are!”
As you Jiu spoke, he slowly walked to the bone and patted it on the shoulder.
This seemed intimate, but it made Gu’s heart beat wildly. At the same time, he had a bad feeling.
“I just want to know, where did you go just now? Remember to tell me the truth and don’t lie to me. ”
You Jiu’s tone was very calm when he spoke, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
However, Gu felt a strong sense of threat. He even had a feeling that his whereabouts might have fallen into you Jiu’s surveillance.
how is this possible? I was clearly observing. No one was following me at all? ”
The bone felt increasingly uneasy. He glanced at you Jiu and realized that she was looking at him with a faint smile.
Although his expression was kind, the bone could see the coldness hidden in his eyes, as well as a faint mockery.
It was as if he was watching a clown performing a poor performance, and he was the clown.
The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger, but the bone knew that he could not reveal his whereabouts.
If he admitted it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The problem was that since he had already aroused Tang Zhen’s suspicion, what was the point of him denying it?
It was nothing more than saving litt but sacrificing himself in the end.
“I wasn’t feeling well just now, so I found a place to rest,” the bone answered while gritting his teeth.
“Oh, really?”
You Jiu laughed like a fox. He circled the bone, but his smile gradually turned cold.
“But why did I hear that you went to the underground city, and to a very hidden place?
is someone else lying to me or are you lying to me? this is really a headache.”
You Jiu’s tone was exaggerated, and so was his expression. He looked at the bone helplessly.
When the bone heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. He was sure that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Although he didn’t know how you Jiu found out, Gu didn’t dare to take any chances. His only hope now was that litt’s existence had not been exposed.
With a dry laugh, the bone said to you Jiu, ” Cult Master must be joking. How could I go to the underground city? someone must be talking nonsense.
“Hehehehehehehehe!”
You Jiu’s laughter came and went. It was filled with mockery and a faint killing intent.
The bone felt bitter in his heart. He knew that it didn’t matter whether he admitted it or not. If there were no accidents, he would probably die Here today.
Just as he was quietly sighing in his heart, Tang Zhen, who was standing by the side, suddenly opened his mouth. However, his tone was similarly ice-cold.
“Do you know why I’m talking nonsense with you? I just want to give you a chance. Don’t become a burial object for litt.
I remember that your family is also here. If you want them to suffer with you, no one will stop you.
I’m sure you already know that litt was killed. As for the reason, it was because he wanted to kill me first.
There’s another thing that I still want to tell you. It might not be related to you, but I do.
Litt became a cultivator because he caught Allie and drained her blood to make a so-called potion.
Fortunately, I saved her in time and barely managed to save her life.
You might think that this has nothing to do with you, but let me tell you, Allie is a loyal believer like you, but Ritt did not hesitate to harm her.
Being loyal to such a leader is definitely the greatest tragedy. If you continue to be stubborn, you might end up like Ellie.”
Tang Zhen shook his head and slowly walked forward as he looked at Gu’s grave expression.
“If I’m not wrong, you went to the underground city to see litt. For him to be able to come back to life so quickly, he must have used the remains of his previous life.
This method seemed magical, but it had a huge drawback. Any cultivator who did this would become very bloodthirsty.
You were able to come back alive because you still have some value. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come back at all. You would have become lithe’s food.”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Gu’s face turned deathly pale. He really did not dare to believe that Tang Zhen would describe the scene so clearly. It was as if he had personally witnessed the scene.
Thinking back to the scene, the way Ritt looked at him was indeed terrifying, as if he was staring at his prey.
“Now, tell me your choice. Will you protect the Heaven’s Wall city and your family with me?
Or do you want to follow that madman, litt, and turn the Heaven’s Wall city into real ruins?”
Gu smiled bitterly. He knew that he had to make a choice. If he continued to follow lithe, he would die without a doubt!
A few seconds later, Gu let out a dejected smile and bowed to Tang Zhen and the other man.
I chose to follow you for the sake of my family. At the same time, I also hope to protect the Heaven’s Wall city and prevent it from being turned into ruins by the demon wave.
