Gu Yan had finished gathering the information.
In short, while Long Zaitian was destroying evidence of his collusion with the demonic martial artist Tian Fang and monitoring his godfather, a group of people wearing eerie masks and uniform black attire suddenly stormed into his godfather's room.
In the blink of an eye, they slaughtered everyone present except Yan Huang.
According to Long Zaitian's account, those people seemed to teleport out of the shadows, which was terrifying.
Gu Yan nodded.
Yes, they must be Leng Qingqiu's subordinates.
So.
Gu Yan patted Long Zaitian's shoulder with a kind expression, smiling at the bewildered man: "That's it then, you just keep up the good work."
Joking aside, Gu Yan had initially thought that Leng Qingqiu wouldn't be able to control the King of Hell Palace as per the original plot.
That's why he had come here to do all these things.
But now it seems that the world's corrective force is indeed powerful, ensuring that Leng Qingqiu follows the original storyline.
Although Gu Yan is not clear how she controls the King of Hell Palace.
Long Zaitian, hearing Gu Yan's words that seemed to abandon him, panicked and stammered, his face pale as he grabbed Gu Yan's hand: "What? You're not going to help me?"
"Didn't we agree that after I become the master of the King of Hell Palace, we would cooperate?"
"Where's your master bodyguard? Hurry up and have him save me! Those people will definitely kill my godfather, and then they'll come for me!"
Long Zaitian's legs turned to jelly at the thought of those eerie figures, and his eyes even welled up with tears.
I still have a bright future, lofty ambitions, and dreams of ruling the world. How can I die here?
Being grabbed by a man who was crying, how would you feel?
Gu Yan subtly moved Long Zaitian's hand away, comforting him: "It's alright, Long brother."
Long Zaitian looked up in surprise at Gu Yan: "You're willing to help me?"
Before he could finish, Gu Yan laughed and shook his head: "Respecting others' fate is a traditional virtue of us Chinese. Although I don't want to say it."
"But, the cooperation we talked about before..."
Before he could finish.
Whirr!!
A strange wave enveloped the entire corridor in an instant.
The surroundings became pitch dark, as if they were in another space.
Then.
"Die!!!"
A frenzied roar echoed.
Swoosh! A swift figure emerged from Gu Yan's shadow, with sharp claws aimed directly at Gu Yan's back.
Liao Ya looked at Gu Yan with a cruel smile.
Although I don't know who you are, sorry, but the master's order is to bring back Long Zaitian, so everyone else... must die!
But before he could strike, another figure emerged from the wall beside Gu Yan.
Bang! Boom!!
The figure appeared and blocked Liao Ya's fatal strike with a dagger.
Then a whip kick sent Liao Ya flying into the corridor wall.
"Cough!!"
Liao Ya, caught off guard, was thrown against the wall and then bounced to the ground, clutching his chest and looking up in disbelief: "Bastard! What are you doing?!"
The figure retracted his leg, remaining silent.
Mei Xue's heart sank. Damn, I instinctively saved Gu Yan...
This sudden turn of events left Gu Yan stunned. Wait, what's going on??
He instinctively looked at the person who helped him and the one who was kicked away.
Both wore predominantly dark black attire, and if you looked closely, you could see an endless dark aura around their clothes.
Silver mysterious runes adorned the black clothing, faintly glowing with an eerie light in the dark.
Most notably, the masks covering their faces, which, to Gu Yan, looked more like flowing black vortices, obscuring their entire faces.
Of course, the main point was not this, but...
Why did Qingqiu's subordinates want to kill me? And why did Mei Xue attack a comrade and save me?
Long Zaitian, upon seeing Mei Xue and the others, turned pale with fear, letting out a chicken-like scream and hiding behind Gu Yan: "They're here!!"
At this moment, seeing the scene on the monitor, Long Zaitian, a martial artist at the initial stage of innate, couldn't muster any resistance.
He could only rely on Gu Yan's invincible bodyguard.
Swoosh!
Liao Ya stabbed his sharp claws into the ground.
Seeing that Mei Xue didn't answer, he became even more furious.
"Die!"
Liao Ya roared and charged at Mei Xue.
Mei Xue didn't respond, only charging forward as well.
Bang bang bang!!
Mei Xue calmly and decisively dodged every attack from Liao Ya, her figure agilely evading his claws, leaving no opening for him.
She dodged while looking at Gu Yan.
Seeing him standing there in a daze, she inwardly cursed him for not understanding her efforts!
Mei Xue hadn't expected Gu Yan to be with Long Zaitian. When she was about to report this situation to her master,
Liao Ya attacked, and the target was Gu Yan.
In desperation, knowing the relationship between Gu Yan and her master, she had to step in to help.
After all, her master would eventually control the Leng Family, so Gu Yan couldn't die now!
Liao Ya became more and more frustrated as Mei Xue didn't engage him: "Why! Why are you helping that guy!"
"Die die die!"
Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!
Clang!!
Mei Xue drew a dagger and clashed with Liao Ya's claws.
The intense battle echoed in the corridor, with sparks flying with every collision.
Gu Yan, after a brief confusion, reacted.
So that's how it is. The one with sharp claws should be the half-beastman Liao Ya from the Night organization.
He is brutal and loves killing, and since he doesn't know Gu Yan, Leng Qingqiu's husband, he naturally attacked him.
And Mei Xue, knowing the relationship between Gu Yan and Leng Qingqiu, stepped in to help.
Perhaps because Leng Qingqiu didn't inform her subordinates about Gu Yan's existence,
Mei Xue had to remain silent while blocking Liao Ya's attacks.
In short, the best course of action now is...
Gu Yan took a deep breath and then sprinted in the opposite direction of the others.
He also took out his phone to call Lao Gao, only to find there was no signal.
He looked around and realized this was Mei Xue's unique ability, using the night to envelop a space and cut off all communication.
Anyway, to not make Mei Xue too difficult, he decided to run first! If she really wanted to help him, she should soon lift this ability.
Mei Xue, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the night's embrace.
Long Zaitian, reacting, hurriedly followed: "Wait for me!"
Liao Ya, seeing the mission target escape, revealed a murderous intent, but Mei Xue still didn't let him go.
Only after confirming Gu Yan had left did Mei Xue step aside and stop blocking him.
Liao Ya glared at Mei Xue with rage, gritting his teeth: "Mei Xue, are you crazy?"
"Have you betrayed the organization?"
"Do you know what the master will do to us if he finds out you betrayed us..."
Before he could finish.
Mei Xue coldly said: "Fool, you almost ruined the master's grand plan just now!"
"Ah?"
Liao Ya was slightly stunned, then sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was about to succeed, kill that insignificant man..."
As he spoke, Liao Ya couldn't continue, realizing something and asking incredulously: "You mean that man with no cultivation?"
Mei Xue nodded slightly: "That man is an indispensable part of the master's plan."
"The specifics..."
She paused, then continued: "You'll understand once we report the current situation to the master."
Liao Ya scratched his head, and upon hearing Mei Xue's words, his anger subsided somewhat: "Annoying as hell, so all you're saying is that I can't kill that Gu Yan, right?"
"What about Long Zaitian beside him? Gu Yan wouldn't stop us from capturing him, would he?"
Mei Xue wasn't sure about the relationship between Gu Yan and Long Zaitian, especially since it involved Gu Yan. She felt it necessary to consult her master first.
So she said, "We still need to ask the master first."
"Tch, such a hassle," Liao Ya muttered, though he didn't argue further.
With their ability to mask their presence, they remained undetected. In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the darkness and left the place.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
