The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 827 - 395: You Ying Group’s Betrayal

The scorching sun hangs high, and the barren desert is buried by sandstorms. The sound of the wind resembles the wails of the undead.

Tang Ling held the edge of her sun hat, her delicate face under the brim was pristine and flawless. She expressionlessly put on sunglasses and pulled up her scarf to cover half of her face to prevent sand from entering her nose and mouth.

This is the desert on the second level of the Qilin Immortal Palace. The exploration team had long warned that the environment here is extremely harsh, with a temperature difference of thirty degrees Celsius between day and night. The sun during the day can dehydrate you, while the night is cold enough to cause hypothermia, and sandstorms accompanied by earth-shaking tremors happen frequently.

According to claims from explorers returning on the dark web, it’s like I Love Luo released a desert burial.

She walked along the long street paved with gravel, carrying a huge guitar case. The street was desolate yet lively, with convoys transporting supplies coming and going, while a wide variety of ancient artifacts were displayed in temporary military tents.

Advertisements for the recruitment of exploration teams were plastered on mottled walls, and merchants were selling intelligence.

There were even faint cheers coming from underground chambers, accompanied by pulsating music.

Occasionally, a group of black men covered in tattoos walked past from the street, staring at her coldly, probably assessing whether she was a fat sheep and hesitating about whether to target her.

According to ancient traditions, people tend to pick relatively safer places to establish a gathering place, providing a landing spot for Ascenders worldwide, and a place to trade resources and information.

If necessary, it’s also a way to counter the revival of Ancient Gods.

Here you can see people from all over the world and experience the cultural charm of different places.

This time, the Egyptians discovered the habitat first. Being skilled in surviving desert terrains, they eventually found an ancient city site in the desert and ignited the flame of human civilization on the ruins.

And this town was named Sado Town.

"You’re late."

A stiff voice sounded from the wireless earphone.

The faint sound of a sword’s tremor was heard, and a spray of fresh blood erupted in the ancient alley. The group just earlier had already been silently beheaded, their bodies fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Tang Ling caught a glimpse of a modest silhouette standing in the alley, his iron sword dripping with blood.

"You didn’t have to kill them."

She said indifferently, "This group posed no threat to me."

"It’s my responsibility to judge whether these people are a threat, not yours. My duty is to ensure your safety. If it weren’t for the sake of acting low-key, I’d prefer to clear out this entire town." Rhein replied on the communication channel, throughout, the deputy president’s approach was ruthlessly rigid.

To achieve his goals, he can use any means, even sacrificing many innocent lives.

If eliminating the Ascenders in this base could ensure safety, he wouldn’t hesitate even for a second.

"It’s up to you."

Tang Ling has never been fond of such ruthless style and naturally won’t show any goodwill.

"I’m personally protecting you because you are the future of the Order World, not because you are the girl I watched grow up. Even if you don’t like me, or never consider me your brother, what must be done still needs to be done. After all, it’s something the world owes you." Rhein said in the communication channel.

Rhein’s faction leads the cooperation with Lishan Tiyan Pavilion, naturally knowing the entire process of the Transplantation plan, understanding the hardships this solitary, cold girl has endured clearly.

"It’s obvious that You Ying Group is up to no good, the so-called Moon Princess in the team is a fake, the real one isn’t even here, her so-called fiancé is probably an impostor too. Lin Dong will keep an eye on the Netherworld, but there’s no guarantee that there won’t be other issues. If any super combat power emerges, I’ll personally handle it; you must be careful yourself."

Before cutting off communication, Rhein said, "Our objective is to explore the Divine Ruins, seeking a method to extend the President’s life. We won’t stop until this goal is achieved, even if many sacrifices are required,"

This is the Ether Association’s strategy; they dispatched two vice presidents at once.

Lin Dong and the Netherworld counterbalance each other.

Rhein stays in the shadows, acting opportunistically.

Still the usual double insurance, emergency planning is done very thoroughly.

Tang Ling walked through the bustling long street and arrived at the Sacrificial Ground outside the town, which is evidently the ruins of an Ancient God Clan civilization. Members of exploration teams gathered under the huge broken sculptures, all opting for low-profile actions.

Due to the unknown dangers of the second level, no one would act ostentatiously. It’s instead better to stay low-key because the dangers here cannot be resolved with a massive amount of resources and manpower. If anything goes wrong, it means a collective downfall, and too many people coming is counterproductive.

After discussions between the Ether Association and You Ying Group, it was unanimously decided to disguise as an exploration team.

A black coffin lies in the center of this altar, containing a young man bound entirely by chains, his skin frighteningly pale like lime and covered in restraints used to suppress spirituality.

Jiang Ziyue smiled as he gazed at the person in the coffin and introduced, "This person is Jiang Xu, theoretically my cousin, somehow became a senior cadre in The Order of the Hidden. It’s funny, I thought he was on a mission abroad, but he somehow turned into what’s known as Bar."
