Chapter 847: Chapter 847: A Small Boat Ready to Be Swallowed at Any Moment
The energy storm of various colors raged overhead.
Whenever a storm flashed by, a patch of space would be ruthlessly torn apart.
In the Ten Thousand Realms, the true strong ones are those who can fully utilize all the energy scattered in the air.
Inside the monumental building, Ziyue kneeled before the throne.
She kept her head lowered, and what expression was hidden under the shadow, was unknown.
However, from her trembling body and the constantly dripping beads of sweat, one could accurately guess her state of mind at the moment.
In front of her, a small puddle had formed.
Reflecting her heaving chest.
Despite pondering for most of the day, Ziyue still couldn’t figure out how to report the result of the mission to the black-robed figure before her.
The word ’failure’ is somewhat unfamiliar to the organization Dark Rising.
Those who can enter this organization are elite with strength.
Moreover, Dark Rising acts with extreme caution, choosing not to act until the situation is fully understood.
The principle Dark Rising adheres to is silence until a stunning impact; Ziyue had executed countless missions delivering achievements to the Order Maintainers without ever failing, yet now, there was a mishap.
The mission failed, no less, and even the secret dealings between Dark Rising and the Order Maintainers were uncovered, the blunder was indeed too great.
"Words of apology are not what I want to hear, yet I would still like to hear your thoughts on Lin Yi, this young man. If what you say is favorable enough, this action can be deemed meaningful, go ahead, let’s hear it."
Hearing this, Ziyue’s heart leaped with joy.
But once her emotions settled, she no longer felt happy.
Thoughts on Lin Yi?
How could she judge?
Clearly, she was a formal member of Dark Rising holding the ’Unformed’ level ring, yet she was overawed by a young man with strength into not resisting, wouldn’t that be shameful to say?
If Ziyue must provide an evaluation, one word:
He’s too damn strong!
Ziyue’s description was truly too general.
The black-robed figure listened without interrupting, then raised his palm, aiming at Ziyue’s forehead.
Breaths paused instantly.
Being part of Dark Rising, she had witnessed many scenes of failed members being erased.
She knew very well what fate awaited her next.
Just when Ziyue closed her eyes and resigned herself to fate, the black-robed man sighed and spoke faintly.
"Actually, it’s not too bad. To have you make such a pure evaluation, I have an understanding of what Lin Yi is like."
God has a God’s pride.
To have made such a high evaluation, it just shows Lin Yi holds excellence in various aspects.
As for how to deal with Lin Yi, it’s hard to make decisions at this point.
If Lin Yi claims allegiance to Dark Rising, Ziyue would report it all accordingly.
But Dark Rising is not foolish enough to give complete trust so simplistically.
With her life spared, Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, her demeanor akin to a survivor relaxed after a calamity, which made the black-robed man slightly disdainful.
"Forget it, let us not wait, our plan, it is time to begin. Since this lad said he wishes to make contributions to Dark Rising, let’s fulfill his wish, have him do some tasks for Dark Rising."
"Here, this is the content of the mission, you accompany him in completing it. If this mission fails, you need not come back, oh yes, if you fail, you won’t be returning anyhow."
After speaking, the black-clad man tossed a jade slip towards Ziyue.
The jade slip came into her hands, she infused it with Source Power.
Information engraved within swiftly drilled into Ziyue’s mind, and in just an instant, Ziyue’s complexion became utterly ghastly.
Why, why it’s that place?
Executing a task there, how is it different from courting death.
It is meant to push Ziyue and Lin Yi against All Celestial Divine Beings.
If unable to complete, that’s still fine, but once accomplished, in this Three Realms and Six Paths, Ziyue will have no place to hide.
"Lea-leader, isn’t this somewhat impulsive, aren’t we yet ready with enough manpower, executing the plan now, wouldn’t it be too risky, we’re preparing for..."
Before Ziyue finished, a palm imprint formed of the Power of the Primordial appeared on her face, striking her down to the ground.
"Decisions from above are not for you to interfere with, you only need to do what you should, if you cannot, say it plainly, replacement is an option."
As his words fell, the scenery before Ziyue’s eyes flickered.
And in the blink of an eye, she returned to Antar Star.
Coincidence.
As her sight settled, she happened to see three Dark Rising members wrapping up the tasks at hand.
The ’Noon’ character on their rings glimmered with a faint luster.
This was evidence of the strength of the three Dark Rising members.
Just meeting her colleagues’ gaze, exchanging a few words wouldn’t be amiss.
The bald man wearing the ’Noon’ character ring, was holding something round and furry.
Once he let go, the round object fell down, rolling few times on the ground before Ziyue could see what it was.
Just minutes ago, Cheng Ji was alive and active; now, he had been dismembered.
Uttering improper words under extreme fear, this was the outcome.
"I didn’t expect the leader to spare you a life, truly unexpected, if a beauty like you wants to be punished, I really can’t bring myself to do it."
After speaking, the bald guy stomped on Cheng Ji’s head, the red and white viscous substance even splattering onto Ziyue’s face.
By the time Ziyue regained her senses and let out a sharp scream, the three Dark Rising members with ’Noon’ rings had vanished.
To ensure the cooperation between the Order Maintainers and Dark Rising could proceed smoothly, Dark Rising dispatched three assassins to swiftly resolve Cheng Ji.
He, with inadequate capability yet loose lips, staying would forever be a disaster.
To not trouble the remaining Order Maintainers further, the task of handling it fell to Dark Rising.
And only then, Ziyue truly understood that she was but a lone skiff on the boundless sea.
At any time, she could be capsized by mighty waves.
Looking at the headless corpse beside her, Ziyue finally figured out:
Whether clandestinely working for Dark Rising, or overtly serving All Celestial Divine Beings, her fate remains unchanged.
Without adequate strength, lacking sufficient value, she is merely a tool ready for sacrifice at any time.
"Ding～"
The sound echoed from her ring, pulling Ziyue’s thoughts back to reality.
She infused her Source Power into it, guiding the information out.
A voice, one she was very familiar with, entered her mind.
"If Lin Yi is unwilling to accompany you on the mission, you know the consequences for you."
The body which had barely stopped trembling, felt energy drained again.
Her legs weakened, Ziyue collapsed on the spot.
Having Lin Yi accompany me? Are you joking!
To wage war against All Celestial Divine Beings, throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths, how many dare to undertake?
Moreover, just seeing that place suggests complexity, Lin Yi is a young man barely over twenty, he still has plenty of good time, how could he possibly risk it.
