In the command center of the Tower of Darkness, everyone looked at Ning Qi, with the pressure almost entirely on her shoulders.
Ning Qi was indecisive, her heart extrely shaken, yet she ruthlessly steeled herself.
At this mont, a subordinate picked up the radio, ready to broadcast to the whole city.
At the critical mont, Ning Qi shot the traitor in the shoulder, stopping their actions.
"Sister Ning Qi, you..." So people ran over to help bandage the traitor’s wound, while others looked at Ning Qi with questioning eyes.
"With the enemy before us, how can you listen to the enemy’s deceitful words and believe them?" Ning Qi criticized fiercely, showing a face of complete obliviousness to her own wrongdoing, and her actions seed much like Ao Sai’s earlier when he dealt with a dissenting person.
Ning Qi saw so subordinates showing disappointed expressions, while others didn’t pay much heed, and the situation remained stable.
Suddenly, the door to the command center opened, and Ouyang Jin walked in. He glanced at everyone’s strange expressions and sensed the eerie atmosphere.
Because the battle had suddenly erupted, there was no ti to investigate how Gu Fan and his group had infiltrated, nor did anyone know that Ouyang Jin had actually defected.
"Why are you here?" Ning Qi was bewildered as to why Ouyang Jin would co to the command center at such a ti since he didn’t typically have the authority to be there.
Ning Qi soon figured it out and loudly questioned, "Gu Fan’s easy entry is all thanks to you."
"That’s correct, I stand with Gu Fan," Ouyang Jin answered calmly, but his eyes were incredibly serious, as if he had no regrets about his decision.
Ning Qi directly pointed her gun at Ouyang Jin and snorted coldly, "Since you’ve beco a traitor, you can’t bla , and besides, I’ve never gotten along with you, so it’s just as well to deal with you."
In response, Ouyang Jin simply smiled faintly, then looked around at the shocked faces in the command center, before saying, "I’m here just to confirm one thing, whether you still have a conscience and whether you disregard the safety of the entire world."
Hearing this, soone imdiately stood up, "Of course, we wouldn’t do such a thing, we wouldn’t let the ancient Super Civilization return, but this is all speculation. We can’t side with Gu Fan based solely on that."
Ouyang Jin nodded, "When Gu Fan first approached and told what Ao Sai and the Great Demon King planned to do, I was also shocked and couldn’t believe it. Later, when I inquired with people from the Demon Refinent Island and the Armory about the two devices, I found that what Gu Fan said was amazingly accurate," finishing his statent, Ouyang Jin looked towards Ning Qi.
Everyone understood the aning in Ouyang Jin’s eyes, which was that Ning Qi held a high position in the X Legion, was a confidant of the Great Demon King, and controlled Demon Refinent Island, so she couldn’t possibly be unaware of the devices’ functions.
"Being rembered as an eternal villain or sinner, I believe you wouldn’t want to bear that burden, Ning Qi," Ouyang Jin finished and waved his hand, indicating he wasn’t in charge here, and all he could do was persuade.
Seeing Ouyang Jin about to leave, Ning Qi, who had just shouted to punish the traitor, actually let him go.
Before leaving, Ouyang Jin turned back and said, "I think everyone in the X Legion has the right to know what they are fighting for, don’t they?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the command center felt a surge of righteousness, but intimidated by Ning Qi’s gloomy face, none dared to act.
Suddenly, soone pointed at the screen and shouted, "Not good, Gu Fan has broken through the encirclent."
Ning Qi, whose mind had been in turmoil, was startled awake, and she imdiately looked up to see Gu Fan soaring into the air, passing over the encirclent of remould people and vampires, heading straight for the Tower of Darkness.
"So it was a tactic to lure the tiger out of the mountain," Ning Qi said through gritted teeth, slamming the table.
Due to most of the remould people and vampires pursuing Gu Fan, Ning Qi believed that as long as they focused on him, whatever the others tried would pose no threat.
At the main entrance of the Tower of Darkness, under the collaborative effort of the Big Boss, Zhuo Hang, and Lord Xiong, they overpowered many mbers of the X Legion, making their way to the main entrance.
Qian Feng and Qian Xue unleashed a storm, blowing away the X Legion reinforcents and sending the Big Boss, Zhuo Hang, and Lord Xiong right to the Tower of Darkness’s entrance.
"Thanks!" The Big Boss shouted, punching open the door to the Tower of Darkness and striding boldly inside.
Lin Yue and Leng Feng, having carved a bloody path, also broke into the Tower of Darkness. Once inside, they saw the fallen guards scattered about, beaten to a pulp by the others.
As Lin Yue and Leng Feng entered, they noticed there was no sign of the Big Boss in the hall, nor did they know where he and the others had gone. It was as if they had gotten separated.
"What do we do? We’re unfamiliar with this place." Leng Feng’s concern was voiced just as guards charged at them.
Without ti to think, Lin Yue and Leng Feng summoned their courage and rushed forward, engaging in fierce battle within the Tower of Darkness.
Lin Yue’s swordsmanship, combined with Leng Feng’s help, generally made it difficult for ordinary X Legion soldiers to halt them. The sword’s brilliance swept rcilessly through, causing shrieks from the X Legion’s ranks.
However, as one batch fell, another took their place. Besides the ordinary soldiers, remould people and vampires also arrived.
"Damn, there are so many of them." Leng Feng felt the frustration of being overwheld by numbers, but being at a disadvantage, he could only grit his teeth and press on.
Lin Yue said nothing, brandishing his sword and charging at the vampires. As a disciple of the Jian Shen, he was a sworn enemy of vampires, so they were his primary targets.
The battle in the Tower of Darkness was extrely intense, and without any support, Lin Yue and Leng Feng fought bravely, their fierce swordsmanship clearing the area around them. They advanced step by step, with their Jian Qi causing damage to more enemies.
Nevertheless, the ranks of the X Legion seed endless. For every group they defeated, two more took their place, gradually overwhelming Lin Yue and Leng Feng in both numbers and montum.
"Damn it!" Lin Yue felt his sword-wielding arm growing weary, and his advance slowed by resistance, an ominous sign.
Several vampires and remould persons seized the opportunity to grab Lin Yue’s limbs, halting his movent.
As the situation beca perilous, Lin Yue sensed sothing amiss, and suddenly, the protective talisman on his chest started to float, surprising him. It was a talisman given to him by Gu Ling, one that could protect him and also signal their presence to each other.
Seeing the talisman react, Lin Yue’s first thought was, "Gu Ling is alive!"
