Chapter 865 Betrayal
General Zeng, the next one is the last teleportation point, right? Wei Zhuo confirmed to General Zeng in the teleportation channel.
Yes, we can directly reach Wu Gen Star from the next teleportation point.
Zeng Xiao replied.
Haha, it seems that this Alliance Leader’s great revenge will soon be avenged!
Wei Zhuo suddenly laughed excitedly.
Great revenge? I wonder who the Alliance Leader’s enemy is?
Zeng Xiao asked curiously.
Of course, it’s that bitch Zhong Zhen. After General Sha turned me into a zombie, I could have continued to impersonate a living person and be the Alliance Leader. Who knew she exposed me in public, causing me to lose all face and be unable to return home.
Wei Zhuo said through gritted teeth.
Is the dignified Immortal Alliance Leader so petty? Since you insist on courting death, then this Immortal Elder can only find an opportunity to fulfill your wish.
Qi Huang, who was in the storage ring, shook her head helplessly when she heard this. She was a very kind person and really didn’t want to kill anyone.
Zeng Xiao did not expect this guy to be so vindictive. A hint of disdain inadvertently appeared on his face.
By the way, General Zeng, didn’t they say that one hundred Mole Girls could pass through the teleportation gate without hindrance? Now we have 130 Mole Girls in our team, so there should be no problem now, right?
Wei Zhuo confirmed again, uneasy.
Of course, 130 Mole Girls far exceed the requirements. The guards there have no reason to stop us, but…
Zeng Xiao stopped speaking after saying this.
But what?
Wei Zhuo quickly asked.
It’s just that the mole on Chen Yuzhu’s face is too conspicuous. It must be hidden well, otherwise I can’t guarantee that the guard at the next checkpoint won’t have any bad ideas.
Zeng Xiao voiced his concerns.
The number of Mole Girls we have has exceeded the requirement. You can just leave her alone in the storage ring then.
Wei Zhuo immediately suggested.
“That’s the only way.”
Zeng Xiao gritted his teeth after hesitating for a moment.
“Does General Zeng have any concerns?”
Wei Zhuo’s face showed confusion. He didn’t understand why this guy looked so hesitant.
“My lord strictly prohibits the private collection of Mole Girls. If I hide her in the storage ring and the guards there discover it, I probably won’t be able to clear my name even if I jump into the sea.”
Zeng Xiao explained helplessly.
“I see. No wonder General Zeng is hesitant. But don’t worry, that woman should have been sprinkled with Heaven-Concealing Water, so no one will be able to find her in the storage ring.”
Wei Zhuo quickly comforted him.
“I hope so.”
Zeng Xiao smiled noncommittally.
Meanwhile, on Kaiyuan Star, all the spatial rifts left by the great battle had healed.
Cheng Hong Ling let out a sigh of relief because it meant that the real Zhong Zhen would never appear again, and she could continue to disguise herself without any scruples.
On this day, Cheng Hong Ling summoned all the high-level figures of the Lingxi Sect for a meeting. Because of her presence, Sect Leader Zhong Qin could only stand in the great hall below and listen with her head bowed.
Of course, Zhong Qin had no complaints. Firstly, she knew very well that only with the existence of an immortal ancestor could the Lingxi Sect have today, so she was willing to be in a subordinate position; secondly, this immortal ancestor treated her well; thirdly, she respected her teachers and dared not have any disrespectful thoughts towards her ancestor.
“Sect Leader Zhong, may I ask you a question, what are the major fierce lands on Kaiyuan Star?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked calmly.
“Reporting to the Ancestor, the top ten fierce lands on Kaiyuan Star are the Floating Corpse River as the first, the Boundless Insect Kingdom as the second, the Dry Bone Ocean as the third…”
Although Zhong Qin didn’t know what the “Ancestor” was going to do, she still respectfully introduced them.
“Tell me in detail about the Floating Corpse River, which ranks first.”
Cheng Hong Ling asked with great interest. Now that Qi Huang had started to act, she had to speed up.
“Reporting to the Ancestor, the Floating Corpse River was originally called the Red Water River, and it is the boundary river between the Tianyun Kingdom and the Xianyun Kingdom. Because the governance philosophies of the two kingdoms are different, countless frictions of various sizes have occurred there, resulting in corpses everywhere and resentment soaring, nurturing countless powerful evil spirits. To this day, it has reached a point where even birds cannot cross it. Anyone who dares to pass, whether a cultivator or a mortal, will turn into a floating corpse on the riverbank, which is why it was later called the Floating Corpse River.”
Zhong Qin introduced concisely.
“A Tianyun Kingdom and a Xianyun Kingdom. No wonder their governance philosophies are different.”
Cheng Hong Ling curled her rosy lips, then announced: “By my order, three days later, the Lingxi Sect will fully attack the Floating Corpse River.”
“Three days?”
The high-level officials of the Lingxi Sect below looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation.
“Yes!”
Zhong Qin took the lead without hesitation, her clear voice echoing in the great hall.
“Ancestor, it’s not that I’m questioning your strength, but isn’t three days too rushed? The Floating Corpse River is the largest fierce land in the Cultivation World. We must prepare properly.”
A high-level official spoke cautiously.
“Prepare? You don’t need to do any preparation. Just post the notice. I am enough to attack the Floating Corpse River.”
Cheng Hong Ling dismissed them casually.
“Yes, Ancestor is a dignified immortal. Why would you need preparation to attack a mere fierce land in the Cultivation World? If I hear anyone questioning her again, don’t blame me for being impolite, Sect Leader.”
Zhong Qin immediately warned.
The high-level officials nodded timidly.
Cheng Hong Ling’s rosy lips twitched slightly. She really disliked people who praised her mindlessly, especially women.
Meanwhile, after two days of teleportation, Qi Huang and her group, along with the evil spirits, finally exited the teleportation gate and arrived at the last outpost.
The guard at this last outpost was very strong, a zombie whose strength had reached the intermediate stage of Human-Demon level, even stronger than General Sha. Therefore, upon exiting the teleportation gate, the evil spirits restrained themselves a lot, not daring to have the slightest impropriety in their behavior.
Zeng Xiao found a spacious place for his subordinates to set up camp, and then released more than a hundred Mole Girls. He himself went with Wei Zhuo to meet the local guard, while Qi Huang was left in the storage ring.
Yuan Xin was not in a hurry because she had heard the conversation between Zeng Xiao and Wei Zhuo clearly before.
Qi Huang was in the storage ring. Although she couldn’t use her Spiritual Sense to forcibly break through the blockade to explore outside, she could hear the movements around her clearly.
Zeng Xiao and Wei Zhuo quickly found the local guard. The two of them looked subservient, not daring to show any disrespect.
“Alas, General Sha and I had been working together for many years, and we were quite friendly. I didn’t expect him to fall in the lower realm. In the end, I couldn’t even send him off. It’s truly regrettable.”
The Human-Demon level guard who was the local commander sighed to himself after hearing the course of events, it was unclear whether it was sincere or feigned.
“General Peng, please accept my condolences. Sacrifice is inevitable for my lord’s great cause. General Sha will surely rest in peace if he knows of your righteousness.”
Zeng Xiao quickly comforted him.
“Yes, it’s fitting that he sacrificed himself for my lord’s great cause.”
General Peng took the opportunity to step down.
“General Peng, you’ve had your tea. We need to hurry back to report to my lord. Could you please activate the teleportation gate to send us away?”
Wei Zhuo, who was impatient, urged him.
“You have official business, so I can’t keep you any longer. After all, these Mole Girls are related to my lord’s grand ambitions.”
General Peng embellished himself, his smile quickly restrained: “But you all know my lord’s rules. To use the teleportation gate, the Mole Girls must reach one hundred in number, and not only the quantity but also the quality is important, so I must inspect them before allowing passage.”
“Of course! Of course!”
Zeng Xiao repeatedly agreed. Anyway, the number of Mole Girls under his command already far exceeded one hundred. No matter how strict this guy was, it was impossible for them to fail.
Next, the three zombies came to the tent where the Mole Girls were being held, and General Peng began the routine inspection.
Zeng Xiao’s subordinates were all on tenterhooks, afraid of failing the inspection, because they were dizzy with hunger. If they were delayed further, they would surely starve to death.
Whether General Peng was conscientious or deliberately making things difficult, he inspected for a full half an hour, and during the inspection, he pointed fingers, saying that this Mole Girl was unqualified and that one was unqualified.
Hearing these words, Zeng Xiao, who was originally confident, also looked displeased, fearing that they would not pass.
He also said that he had a friendship with that guy named Sha. Are you sure you’re not enemies?
Qi Huang, in the storage ring, couldn’t help but mutter.
Fortunately, although General Peng was strict, he did not go too far and finally let them pass with a lenient hand.
Zeng Xiao and Wei Zhuo were visibly relieved. Just as they wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, a sudden change occurred.
“General Peng, this guy named Zeng is harboring Mole Girls. You can’t let them leave so easily.”
A senior general next to Zeng Xiao suddenly spoke and betrayed him.
