Chapter 79 Musings: I was just passing by...
What power could possibly cause the 'Sea' Realm [believers] under its tutelage to die so completely?
They couldn't even piece together a complete human figure.
Is it Yuan Gang?
No... this aura doesn't seem to belong to his Forbidden Realm.
He walked to the collapsed stone wall and reached out to feel what had happened.
When his hand touched the rock and soil layers that Li Jie had cut.
The sharp and continuous sword energy stung his fingers.
"Sword energy... Li Jie??"
How can it be? !
Are you kidding me?
The babbling expression shifted rapidly, showing confusion, doubt, and even a hint of ruthlessness.
It was because of a traitor in the training camp that this white-haired recruit was not only upright but also a once-in-a-millennium genius.
He disregarded everything and mobilized his followers to issue a kill order.
Moreover, both assassination attempts failed, resulting in the loss of three 'Sea' Realm cultivators and several 'River' Realm cultivators.
This has inadvertently weakened his voice within the 'Ancient God Church'.
It seems that Han Shaoyun's death is also related to this little white-haired guy.
【Snake Girl】......
She has been in a coma ever since the assassination attempt during the Lunar New Year.
If she could bring the information back, I wouldn't have lost so many [believers].
"How infuriating... It seems that the mysterious expert back then was none other than Li Jie."
"But can someone who isn't a representative of a god possess such destructive power?"
"Let's find another opportunity... There probably won't be a way to attack him again in the short term..."
Indeed, because Yuan Gang had purged all the traitors in the training camp, no news of them had come out since that incident.
The snake woman, the only one who had contact with Li Jie, has not yet woken up.
Therefore, he had no idea what exactly happened that day.
However, even based on mere speculation, one can deduce that Han Shaoyun's death is related to Li Jie, proving that this "god" is indeed quite something.
"Recently, many 'people' who shouldn't be appearing have appeared within the Great Xia territory. Should we take this opportunity to expand our [believers'...?"
Soul contracts are something that are used up one by one, so unless they have great potential or are from special forbidden areas, Yu is actually a little reluctant to use them.
However, because the number of believers had been so severely depleted, in order to further improve his status, he had no choice but to select the best among the worst.
"Never mind, let's go back to church and rest for a bit..."
Just as he was about to step into the void, a blue flame blocked his way.
"What? You're already thinking of leaving after only being here a short while?"
Upon seeing the person's appearance, Yiyu felt a chill run through her body.
How did I end up offending this person?
Could it be that this time it was he who destroyed the dream clone?
"Director Zuo Qing, if I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?..."
.........
The headquarters of the Church of the Ancient God.
In the Dream Temple, a figure with half its body charred stumbled and fell onto the couch.
Damn it.......
What a loss! Zuo Qing's skills have improved again since we last met.
How could a forbidden area ranked so low unleash such destructive power...?
Hey.....
The heavily injured Yiyu sighed. Now things are really messed up; forget about recruiting believers.
I don't know when all these injuries will heal...
........
In the instructor's office.
With a bruised and swollen face, Yuan Gang sat at his desk, feeling extremely depressed.
These guys are all the same.
Commander Ye came and gave himself a good beating, and Zuo Qing came and used the same old tricks.
Am I lacking the 'Dry' element in my destiny...?
Even stranger, he suddenly disappeared halfway through the fight.
You all seem so secretive, I wonder what they're busy with every day.
A pale blue flame appeared, and Zuo Qing returned to his office.
He had a slight frown on his brow, as if he were deep in thought.
Yuan Gang stared at the young man in front of him with a livid face and snorted coldly.
"So busy, Director Zuo. You didn't forget to go out and have some fun while you were dealing with me?"
Hearing Yuan Gang's sarcastic voice, Zuo Qing also looked up and chuckled.
“Brother Yuan, something really has come up. I’m going to see an old friend. He’s been talking in his sleep.”
"What?...."
"........"
............
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.
Today is the day of the oath-taking ceremony, marking the successful conclusion of the 039th batch of new recruits' training for the Night Watch.
Li Jie got up early as usual, but starting today...
They were no longer accompanied by that short, sharp whistle.
He stood in front of the full-length mirror, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and then walked out of the room.
It's worth mentioning that Fatty didn't sleep in today, and his carefully tidied clothes made him look exceptionally energetic.
"It's not easy, you actually got up so early on the last day."
Seeing the two people standing at the door waiting for him, Li Jie couldn't help but speak up.
"Brother Lei, today is a good day. I heard that people from headquarters have come."
Where did you hear that?
Lin Qiye looked at the chubby boy who had lived with him for a year with a strange expression. He hadn't realized that this kid was also quite good at gathering intelligence.
The latter smiled shyly, took out his phone, and read aloud the message Baili Xin had sent him.
"Besides my dad, who else could tell me...?"
After listening, Lin Qiye couldn't help but move closer to Li Jie and whispered in the latter's ear.
"Brother, do you think Fatty's dad might be the mole...?"
“Very likely…” Li Jie nodded in deep agreement.
"Huh? No, what are you two talking about...?"
............
After breakfast, the 240 new generation Night Watchers participating in the training camp gathered at the training ground.
Led by Yuan Gang, the instructors stood in neat rows on the platform, their bodies ramrod straight and their expressions solemn.
"Today is the day the training camp ends. Before we officially begin, I'd like to announce an order."
Yuan Gang stepped forward, took a document from Hong Hao, and read it aloud.
"Li Jie, Lin Qiye, Baili Tuming, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu, during the emergency graduation assessment, uncovered the conspiracy of the 'Ancient God Church' and worked together to stop three 'Sea' Realm [Believers] and five 'River' Realm [Believers], thus preserving the new force of the Night Watch. After deliberation by headquarters, it has been decided to award the above five individuals a collective 'Star' Medal."
"You five, come up on stage to receive your medals."
As soon as Yuan Gang finished speaking, a commotion erupted from the audience.
"What do you mean? Is the 'Ancient God Church' involved in this disaster relief drill?"
"That's because you didn't see it... There were indeed many strangers pretending to be disaster victims trying to..."
"Wow, this is terrifying? Why didn't I encounter anything?"
"That's because you're lucky..."
"Then why do you say that the five of them thwarted the 'Ancient God Church's' conspiracy? Could it be that they were all killed by those three 'Sea' Realm cultivators and five 'River' Realm cultivators?..."
