Chapter 1304 - 1284: Taking Charge of Dragon Gate?
The scout swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Patriarch, here’s what happened. You previously ordered the Intelligence Hall to send a small team to track and monitor Xiao Yu and the Empress, to investigate where they went, right? After receiving the order, a few brothers and I immediately bought frogman gear and, at a depth of ten meters under the sea, began fixed-point tracking on them.""We tailed them for most of the day and finally saw them dock and land on a small island standing alone in the Pacific Ocean. After verification, the island is called Tianzong!"
"We originally planned to turn back and leave, but at that moment, the people from Sequence suddenly forced Xiao Yu and the Empress apart, and sent the Empress to another small island to the north of Tianzong Island, called ’Guatana’."
"Moreover, Sequence also forced Xiao Yu to make two phone calls, making her send out a request for rescuing the Empress to Ye Huan and to our Di Family!"
After hearing the scout’s report, an uproar broke out in the hall!
So Xiao Yu actually made that call for help under duress?!
"Can... can you guarantee the accuracy of this intel? If the intel is wrong, it’ll affect Dragon Gate’s big-picture decisions!" Di Wuye’s face was ashen as he glared at the scout, a hint of menace flashing in his eyes.
He was signaling the scout to change his story and say the intel wasn’t accurate.
But the scout’s perception was obviously average; he didn’t read Di Wuye’s look at all.
With a serious face, he said, "Hall Master, I’m willing to guarantee it with my head. Everything I’ve reported is true, not a bit of it watered down!"
"You..." Di Wuye and Di Asura were both so furious their faces flushed red.
"You two, why do you keep questioning him? He just pledged it with his head, and you’re still reacting like this?" Beside them, Di Lunhui narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, a dangerous light seeping out from within. "Don’t tell me you two, just like Sequence, very much hope the Di Family leads its forces to Tianzong Island and falls into the Heavenly Net Sequence has laid down."
What Di Lunhui said was no different from bluntly suspecting that Di Asura and the other had defected to Sequence!
As his aged voice fell, almost everyone’s gaze in the hall converged on the two of them.
Di Wuye and Di Asura’s faces changed instantly, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. "Father, w—we definitely didn’t mean that. We were just worried this scout had defected and was feeding us fake intel!"
"Anyone here who believes he’s defected, raise your hand!" Di Lunhui growled darkly.
"..."
The hall fell silent.
Aside from Di Wuye and Di Asura, not a single person raised their hand.
This let the scout breathe a sigh of relief, and he was deeply moved; he felt it really wasn’t a loss to be risking his life for the Di Family like this!
Luckily so many people believed him. If the Di Family really branded him a traitor, ten lives wouldn’t be enough!
"Anyone who believes he hasn’t defected, raise your hand!"
Di Lunhui finished calmly and took the lead in raising his hand.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Hands shot up one after another.
Everyone except Di Wuye and Di Asura raised their hands.
Showing they were willing to trust the scout.
Under these circumstances, Di Wuye and Di Asura didn’t dare sing against the tune anymore. At the last moment, they forced themselves to raise their own hands.
"Since everyone believes he hasn’t defected, then I deem his intel accurate!"
"That call from Xiao Yu was definitely meant to lure our Di Family onto Tianzong Island. No need to think about it—Sequence has surely deployed a terrifying Ancient Martial Arts force on the island targeting us and Ye Huan. If we land, we’ll definitely run into Sequence’s main force and be dragged into a life-and-death bloodbath."
"So, I’ve decided: the plan for rescuing the Empress is as follows."
"I will personally lead a team, taking the five remaining Divine Kings of the sect to assault Tianzong Island and pin down Sequence’s main force. Everyone else in the sect who is above Divine Guard level will launch a joint attack on Guatana Island. While Sequence’s main force is tied up, you will wipe out every Sequence operative on the island and seize back the Empress! Once the plan succeeds, contact us immediately. We will withdraw at once and will not fight Sequence to the death!"
"Does everyone understand?!"
Di Lunhui slapped his chair and stood up, his tone utterly grave and resolute!
"Understood!" everyone responded.
Di Wuye and Di Asura’s expressions shifted like storm clouds, no one knew what they were thinking.
At this moment, Di Lunhui coldly ordered, "Wuye, Lunhui, hand over your phones and then go to the back mountain."
"Huh?!" The two of them turned pale with shock. "Father, why?"
"You’re not needed for this operation. You two go into the cave in the back mountain, cut off all contact with the outside world, and behave yourselves for a few days."
The back mountain of Dragon Gate is not only the resting place of the Di Family’s ancestors, it’s also where Dragon Gate disciples are confined for punishment.
Anyone who enters the back mountain may not leave without the current Sect Leader’s permission.
Otherwise, who knows which coffin might suddenly open, with some Dragon Gate forebear crawling out to give them a most miserable lesson.
By arranging this for Di Wuye and Di Asura, Di Lunhui was obviously already suspicious of the two of them.
In fact, ever since he saw certain things during the routed retreat at Tingxiang Pavilion, a seed of doubt had already sprouted in Di Lunhui’s heart...
Hearing this, Di Wuye and Di Asura panicked, but at this point they didn’t dare show any disobedience. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and hand over their phones, then, under the watch of Dark Guards summoned by Di Lunhui, head toward the back mountain!
However, what Di Lunhui could never have imagined was that, after all these years of Di Asura’s careful management, Dragon Gate had already been infiltrated by Sequence until it was like a sieve!
"Lord Judgement Dragon God, you must go to the back mountain; I can’t let you go free, otherwise many brothers will be exposed. But this, you can take." Escorting the two to the foot of the back mountain, the Dark Guard spoke in a low voice, then pulled out a phone and secretly slipped it into Di Asura’s pocket.
"Afterward, we’ll arrange for you to get out of the back mountain. Please rest assured."
The Dark Guard finished his meaningful words and vanished in a flash.
Only then did Di Asura and Di Wuye’s faces ease, turning vivid with excitement.
With the phone in hand, Di Asura hurriedly composed a text message, laying out the Di Family’s plan in full and sending it to the Master of Sequence’s phone!
Less than two minutes later, the Master of Sequence replied: "I am already aware. Do not worry. Everything is within my grasp. Within two days, the Di Family will be destroyed, Ye Huan will be crippled, and Dragon Gate... will also fall under our control. At that time, I will need you and Di Wuye, the only two remaining top decision-makers of Dragon Gate, to stand in for Sequence and take charge of all major affairs of Dragon Gate!"
