Chapter 175 Ximen Tianyu was assassinated
Shi Feiyang was slightly startled, then he restrained his expression and became extremely serious: "President, I have conducted a detailed investigation on Ximen Tianyu's identity. His background is indeed as he said. He was once a wandering cultivator. He was dissatisfied with the disputes among the major forces in the demon world and chose to join our Navoli Brotherhood."
"But," Shi Feiyang changed the subject and added, "I am also keeping an eye on him and have not completely let my guard down. I will continue to observe him secretly to ensure his loyalty to the organization."
Li Jin nodded, approving of Shi Feiyang's caution. "Very good. We are now in a chaotic world, and everyone around us may be a potential threat. Acting cautiously is the key to our survival."
"I believe you can see Ximen Tianyu's cultivation. He is seventeen years old and at the fourth level (Demon King Realm). If he really doesn't have the resources of a big power to cultivate him, do you know how terrifying his talent is?"
Shi Feiyang came to his senses after hearing this: "Indeed, such a young fourth-level cultivator is rare even in the Dao League. Such a talent is either a natural prodigy, or there is a force behind him that we don't know about that is secretly cultivating him."
"But as you said, we can't jump to conclusions based on speculation alone." Li Jin stopped and looked determined. "What we have to do is continue to observe him and use his abilities to serve the organization. Of course, necessary precautions cannot be omitted. You keep an eye on his movements. I have recently revealed so much intelligence to him. If he is really a spy sent by the Dao Alliance, he will definitely find a way to pass on the information."
"Yes, President."
Shi Feiyang responded, secretly taking note of this important task. He knew that although Ximen Tianyu's joining brought new help to the organization, it also brought unknown risks.
In the next few days, Ximen Tianyu and Shi Feiyang acted according to Li Jin's instructions. Ximen Tianyu closely monitored the movements of the Dao League, especially the deployment of their reinforcements and the progress of breaking the ruins formation.
At the same time, Shi Feiyang embarked on a journey to connect with the secret line. He knew the importance of this trip and took every step very carefully. After several twists and turns, he finally succeeded in getting in touch with the secret line and obtained detailed information about the internal structure of the ruins and the importance of the forbidden stone in the Dao League.
As intelligence gradually gathered, the Navoli Brotherhood began to formulate a more detailed action plan. They decided to use the ruins coordinates given by Ximen Tianyu and the intelligence obtained by Shi Feiyang from the secret line to jointly plan a raid to seize "that thing" in the ruins and avoid direct conflict with the Dao Alliance as much as possible.
However, just as they were preparing for action, a sudden piece of news broke the peace. The reinforcements of the Dao League suddenly arrived ahead of schedule, bringing with them more powerful array masters and combatants. Obviously, the Dao League had noticed the intentions of the Navoli Brotherhood and decided to take more active defensive measures.
Faced with this sudden change, the Navoli Brotherhood was immediately in a tense atmosphere. Li Jin urgently summoned all core members to discuss countermeasures. Ximen Tianyu and Shi Feiyang also participated in it, and they each put forward their own opinions and suggestions.
After intense discussions and weighing the pros and cons, Li Jin finally made a bold decision, which was to take advantage of the fact that the Dao Alliance reinforcements had not yet been fully deployed and use the cover of night to implement the plan ahead of time.
"We don't have much time to hesitate." Li Jin's voice was steady and powerful. "The reinforcements from the Dao Alliance have arrived. We must act before them, otherwise we will lose the initiative."
Shi Feiyang listened to Li Jin's pre-war mobilization, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew the danger of this operation, but he also understood that this was their only chance. He stood up and said firmly: "I am willing to lead a large force to attract the attention of the Taoist Alliance guards, and you take the opportunity to lead the formation-breaking team to sneak into the ruins and directly seize 'that thing'."
"Good!" Li Jin nodded approvingly, "I have always admired your courage and determination."
"In that case, let's get ready. We will meet at the designated location in two quarters of an hour." After finalizing the action plan, Li Jin issued the final order and everyone quickly dispersed and got busy.
In this operation, Ximen Tianyu was assigned to the formation-breaking team. After all, he was the only one in the brotherhood who survived after seeing the formation, so he would naturally play a key role in the process of breaking the formation.
Because of Jin Chenxi's existence, Ximen Tianyu really didn't want more people to be involved in this unknown crisis. But due to various reasons, Ximen Tianyu couldn't tell them the truth.
"Let's ask Sister Rongrong what to do..."
After racking his brains to no avail, Ximen Tianyu subconsciously thought of Tushan Rongrong. Although she had gone to the Demon Alliance and had not returned yet, Ximen Tianyu still had a way to contact her.
The night was as dark as ink, the stars were hidden, and the entire ruins area was shrouded in a layer of light mist, adding a bit of mystery and danger to the upcoming operation. Ximen Tianyu, wearing a tight nightgown, quietly returned to the inn where he lived.
As soon as he returned to the room, Ximen Tianyu quickly took out a nine-tailed fox-shaped jade pendant from his arms. This jade pendant was different from the teleportation jade pendant given to him by Tushan Rongrong. It could only be used for voice transmission. After injecting spiritual power, it could communicate with the person holding the other half of the jade pendant.
Ximen Tianyu took a deep breath, calmed down the tension and anxiety in his heart, stroked the jade pendant with both hands, and slowly injected his spiritual power. As the spiritual power surged, a soft light appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, and then a crisp ring sounded in the room, which was a sign that communication was about to be established.
However, at this moment, Ximen Tianyu suddenly felt an extremely uneasy feeling in his heart. He almost didn't even think about it, and suddenly turned sideways. Almost at the same moment, a cold light flashed like lightning and went straight to the place where he was just now!
"Who?"
Ximen Tianyu looked at the sharp dagger that was deeply embedded in the wall, and his eyes instantly turned cold. He turned around quickly and looked around vigilantly, but there was no one in the room except him.
"What an amazing concealment technique!"
Ximen Tianyu was secretly shocked. He knew that he might have really met a master this time. If he hadn't used the Heart Mirror to warn him just now, he would have been seriously injured.
However, he did not panic because of this. Instead, he explored the situation nearby more calmly.
