Wuji Base
Chi Tong fell into deep thought.
What Chen Ling said was correct. Currently, The Church's defensive power was too weak. Relying solely on him, a Thief Saint, and a group of Fire-Stealers, if they encountered a frontal assault from the [Kings], they basically wouldn't have any strength to resist. Moreover, it would take ti for the Adjudication Proxies to return and defend...
Rather than this, it was better to directly have Hong Xiu, currently the highest Combat Power in the domain, guard The Church, and let the other Fire-Stealers out to search for the Dusk Society's whereabouts.
Boom——!!
Just as Chi Tong was hesitating, a few more earth-shattering explosions ca from afar. This ti, it wasn't from Hong Xiu's direction, but from various factories... Raging flas mixed with black smoke surged into the sky, as if the smoke of gunpowder was rising from all sides. The entire Wuji Domain had completely plunged into chaos!
Seeing this scene, Chi Tong no longer hesitated, but directly ordered:
"Tell Hong Xiu to return, the others continue to engage the Dusk Society!"
"Yes!"
The Fire-Stealer hurriedly left the office.
Chi Tong looked back out the window, looking at the thick smoke rising everywhere, his face incomparably solemn. Behind him, Chen Ling, who was similarly "panicked and worried," hooked up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth...
...
"Mister Fang, isn't there a bit too much oil poured this ti?"
Looking at the raging flas soaring into the sky before him, Cao Jun couldn't help stepping back twice.
"...No, this is exactly the effect we want." Fang Liangye glanced at the direction of The Church. "The Fire-Stealer people will be here soon. Hurry and clean up the scene and leave here as soon as possible."
"Okay!"
Several workers rapidly began to extinguish the flas in the oil barrels, then smashed the barrels to pieces with hamrs. After performing so "destroying corpses and erasing traces," they only left behind a confusing explosion scene.
Just as everyone was evacuating, Jian Changsheng brought Jiang Xiaohua and the other along from afar.
"The explosion just now, was that you guys?"
Seeing the scene before him, Sun Bumian opened his mouth wide in surprise. "I thought the Dusk Society had attacked..."
"This is exactly the effect we want. Now it's not just you guys, the whole city thinks the Dusk Society has attacked." Jian Changsheng pointed at Fang Liangye and said, "He is Fang Liangye. In a sense, he is also Six of Hearts right now... All of this is his plan."
Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua both began to carefully scrutinize Fang Liangye. After discovering that the other party was just an Ordinary Person, deep surprise appeared in their eyes...
"By the way, did Hong Xiu start fighting with soone just now?" Jian Changsheng seed to recall sothing and asked Fang Liangye. "Who is she fighting?"
"Air."
"?"
Fang Liangye spoke calmly, "The Hearts inside The Church has already seen through my intentions. He is making Hong Xiu coordinate with my actions... If you want to create sothing out of nothing, soone has to get into character first."
"Two Six of Hearts, one inside, one outside, directing the sa play... deceiving everyone in the Wuji Domain."
Sun Bumian's eyes gradually lit up. The gaze he used to look at Fang Liangye was full of expectation.
Before coming, Sun Bumian actually didn't believe Jian Changsheng's words about "playing the Fire-Stealers like a fiddle." But seeing the scene before him, he already had full confidence in Six of Hearts. He solemnly patted Fang Liangye's shoulder,
"Beautifully done! Be even more ruthless, play that group of shaless Fire-Stealers to death!"
Just as everyone was talking, a flying knife condensed from Killing Intent whistled and pierced through the air. In an instant where Jian Changsheng's trio completely couldn't react in ti, it pierced into the ground in front of Fang Liangye!
The pupils of Jian Changsheng's trio abruptly contracted.
While astonished, they looked in the direction the flying knife ca from. Amidst the ruins several kiloters away, a figure with red hair and black clothes casually glanced this way. The next mont, moving like a ghost, she instantly disappeared from the spot.
The speed of that flying knife was too fast. If its target had been anyone present, they would have been instantly pierced through, completely without the power to resist... In front of a Rank 8 [Asura], Rank 4s like Jian Changsheng and the others, and Fang Liangye who had no Divine Pathway at all, were almost no different.
"It's Hong Xiu... what is she doing??" Jian Changsheng frowned tightly.
At the sa ti, Fang Liangye slowly crouched down and picked up a piece of paper hanging from the end of the Killing Intent flying knife.
Fang Liangye's gaze swept over the piece of paper, and understanding appeared on his face.
"...She ca to deliver a letter."
"Whose letter?"
"Naturally it's a letter from that Hearts in The Church."
"He's telling you what to do next?"
"No. As for what to do next, he and I should both have the answer in our hearts, there's no need to specially have soone deliver a letter." Fang Liangye put away the piece of paper, a faint light flickering in his eyes. "He wants to help him investigate a matter."
Fang Liangye didn't explain to Jian Changsheng's group what was written in the letter, and Jian Changsheng didn't ask. After all, this flying knife flew straight towards Fang Liangye.
"You guys wait for a bit, I have sothing to do." Fang Liangye turned and walked towards the Warehouse.
There was hardly anyone in the Warehouse now. Everyone had gone to the various factories to follow the sa recipe and create fake explosions... Fortunately, Wu Duo was still standing by the window, her gaze looking outside full of worry.
"Miss Wu." Fang Liangye walked to her side.
"I already told you, there's no need to address so distantly..." Wu Duo looked at him sowhat helplessly. "Is there sothing you need?"
"You were from the Witchcraft Association before, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then how much... do you understand about the Wuji Base?"
"Wuji Base?" Wu Duo froze. "What are you looking for that for?"
"Soone asked to investigate so information... If that information exists, it's probably stored in the Wuji Base."
Wu Duo frowned tightly, as if pondering how to explain it to Fang Liangye. "Strictly speaking, the Wuji Domain is different from other domains... There simply isn't such a thing as a Wuji Base."
"There isn't...?" Fang Liangye's eyes were full of bewildernt. "That's impossible. Didn't all Nine Great Realms evolve from nine bases?"
"You're right, but the Wuji Domain is relatively special.
During the Great Cataclysm period, there were actually only eight bases in the true sense. It's just that later when the disaster descended, the Lord of Wuji directly used his own power to transform a mountain into a base, accommodating the remaining refugees and foreign asylum seekers, which is how the title 'Wuji Base' ca to be.
The Wuji Base isn't man-made, it's a part of the Lord of Wuji himself. Later, after the Lord of Wuji's Domain extended, the Wuji Domain ca into being, and the residents inside were transferred to the outside, and that base also reverted back to a mountain peak...
Now, if you want to go look for the Wuji Base again, you won't be able to find it anymore."
Fang Liangye frowned tightly. "Then where did all the information inside go?"
"After the Lord of Wuji fell into slumber, the Witchcraft Association temporarily managed the affairs within the domain. The information originally in the base was also transferred and kept by the association... It's just that there was too much of that information, and most of it was on paper which gets easily damaged. After internal discussion within the association at the ti, they chose to preserve them in another form..."
