Zuo Qing then chose a group of disciples from the Moon God Hall.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Most of them were at the Star Rank or above, especially those in the upper grades of the Star Rank. Those selected were mostly younger ones, and Su Wen was the only one not at the Star Rank.
When Wu Lie saw that Su Wen would be following him to the headquarters, he was greatly disappointed.
The next day, they were about to leave. Everyone packed their things and bid farewell to those they were familiar with.
To Su Wenâs surprise, Murong Yan was also selected to enter the main hall!
At night, someone suddenly appeared in Su Wenâs room!
Su Wen suddenly opened his eyes and saw Fatty Ruan standing beside him with a smile on his face.
âHow did you find this place?â Su Wen whispered.
Fatty Ruan laughed, âDonât underestimate the Martial Inspectorate, weâre not trash.â
A bitter expression appeared on his face as he said, âIâve already received news from Wu Lie. My Brother Su, how did you join the Moon Worship Sect? You even ate that Holy Spirit Pill. What if something unexpected happens?â
Su Wen smiled. âDonât worry, that thing is useless to me!â
Fatty Ruan was overjoyed. âThatâs great! Letâs hurry up and leave. Iâll bring people to destroy this hall later!â
Su Wen shook his head. âThen do you know the location of their main shrine?â Fatty Ruan laughed, âThereâs no rush, letâs kill two of his high ranking experts first! Then weâll slowly look for opportunities! The main thing is that we canât always leave you in danger. Originally, we were worried that you were poisoned by the Holy Spirit Pill, but now we donât have to worry anymore.â Su Wen glanced at him. âSo you guys canât solve that Holy Spirit Pill?â Fatty Ruan shook his head and said, âItâs hard to say. Iâve already sent someone to contact one of the pharmacological experts in the Inspectorate, Wang Song, to rush over. Before he arrives, we canât be certain.â
Su Wenâs face was filled with ridicule. âThen let me tell you a piece of good news. Although Iâm fine, Wu Lie has also taken that Holy Spirit Pill. If I leave, Wu Lie will have to leave as well. That pill might be useless to me, but it might not be useless to him. If it doesnât work, Wu Lie will die. Are you surprised? Are you shocked?â
Fatty Ruanâs eyes widened!
âWu⦠Wu⦠Lie?â He didnât know what to say.
If Wu Lie died here⦠how would General Wu Kunhu react?
Fatty Ruan could not imagineâ¦
He wanted to cry but had no tears. âYoung Master Su, why did Wu Lie join the Moon Worship Sect as well?â
Su Wen immediately explained the situation and smiled. âNow, we are in the same boat. If one of us is exposed, the other one wonât be able to escape. Anyway, this is what happened. Do you think I should go with you now or continue to the main shrine?â
âThen Iâll have to trouble Brother Su.â
Fatty Ruan was going crazy.
It was bad enough that there was already one Su Wen!
And now there was another Wu Lie. What were they trying to do?
Fatty Ruan took out a jade bottle from his chest pocket and handed it to Su Wen. âThis is a Fragrance Emitting Worm. Release one every 15 miles and we will be able to follow your trail.â
Su Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at the bottle before shaking his head. âI donât want it!â
He said in a low voice, âNow that you have found this place, how you follow is your own business. If I use this thing, once I am discovered, I will definitely die!â
Fatty Ruan was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly put away the Fragrance Emitting Worm and teased, âIf youâre so afraid of death, why would you personally infiltrate the Moon Worship Sect?â
Su Wen naturally wouldnât tell him that he couldnât leave even if he wanted to. He said righteously, âBeing afraid of death is different from courting death! As subjects, we are willing to risk our lives for His Majestyâs mission. However, we cannot lose our lives because of stupidity!â âBrother Su, youâre so righteous!â Ruan Ze said, âIâll take my leave then.â
âWait!â Su Wen stopped him and asked, âAfter you find their main shrine, what do you plan to do?â
Ruan Ze pondered for a moment and said, âThe Moon Worship Sectâs Headquarters isnât together with the branch halls. There are only five experts of Earth Rank there. We just need to call another team to fight together! Weâll first destroy the headquarters and then clear out the branch halls!â
Su Wen flew into a rage. âHow can this be? Even a lion must use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. You only have two teams, and the power of the Moon Worship Sectâs headquarters is known to have at least five Earth Rank experts. There might be others who are unknown. When the time comes, Iâll be in the depths of the enemyâs formation. What if something unexpected happens?â
Ruan Ze :ââ¦â
What happened to not being afraid of death?
âThen what Brother Su means isâ¦â
Su Wen moved closer to him and said in a low voice, âGo and find Wu Kunhu. That guy has an army under his command and his cultivation is high. With him around, wouldnât it be a piece of cake for a mere Moon Worship Sect?â
Ruan Ze was a little hesitant. âThis is the Martial Inspectorateâs mission after allâ¦â
âWho asked Wu Lie to join the Worship Moon Sect by himself? Do we still have the responsibility to look after his child? If he doesnât go and Wu Lie dies, he might take his anger out on you. But if he goes and Wu Lie dies, can he still blame you?â
It had to be said that Su Wenâs words directly persuaded Ruan Ze!
To put it bluntly, who could be 100% sure that nothing unexpected would happen?
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Ruan Ze took his leave after that.
Su Wen also felt much more at ease. After all, the people from the Martial Inspectorate had already arrived.
The next morning, Su Wen left the Moon God Hall with Zuo Qing.
âBrothers! Iâm leaving! After I leave, you canât slack off. Before every meal, you must thank the Cult Master for his kindness!â
Su Wen loudly bid farewell to his âbrothersâ in the Moon Worship Sect.
Su Wen would never forget that they contributed a lot of Emotional Value points to him.
While there was a high chance that these people would be killed by the Martial Inspectorate in the futureâ¦
There was no way around it. Who told them to follow the wrong boss?
Finally, Zuo Qing left with Su Wen and the others.
On the other side, Wu Kunhuâs army advanced steadily, forcing the rebel army into retreat.
A large number of rebels were also killed.
However, Wu Kunhu did not know that after the rebels dispersed, they were organized and taken away again.
They had completely gone off the grid, without identities just like an illegal immigrant. Even if they were to die, no one would know of their existence.
However, these citizens had no choice. Without food, they would starve to death!
They had already lost everything.
His family, friends, houses, lands, and now even their identities.
In the rebel army camp, the rebel leaders were all smiles.
They didnât look like they had just lost.
A man smiled and said, âThatâs enough, everyone. Our cooperation ends here. The number of strong men each family has will also end here. What we need now is peace and stability in the Li Prefecture. We need to digest the benefits this time.â
They were in no hurry. Everyone would disperse before Wu Kunhuâs army arrived.
Li Jue coldly walked out of the camp. He was the representative from Moon Worship Sect!
As one of the four envoys of the Moon Worship Sectâs Sect Master, he was responsible for jointly organizing the rebel army with the various aristocratic families and sects, as well as gathering young and able men..
âItâs about time for the show to end here. We have less than 5,000 strong young men left. If we send them back to the headquarters and distribute them to the various branch halls, it should be barely enough!â he muttered to himself.
