As we go deeper into the passage, the full picture of this huge underground palace is gradually revealed.
Lu Li looked at this magnificent palace built under the mountains and was speechless for a moment.
Ye Dongtian seemed to have been used to it for a long time and had seen too many people entering the underground palace for the first time. He reached out and patted Lu Li very considerately, "Close your mouth a little. You are now the four leaders of the Earth Department. Don't act like this." A shameful look.”
"I was just thinking, since you are so capable of building an underground palace of this size, why do you have to hide here and there?"
Lu Li put away his shock and complained: "I thought the killers from the Earth were so shady that they had to live in dark corners."
This was the first time Ye Dongtian heard such a question, and he hesitated and said, "I haven't considered this question either. It's probably a tradition that has been left since the world's first killer organization."
"So you don't understand why you have to build a palace underground?" Lu Li thought Ye Dongtian would give some noble reason, but he didn't expect to get this kind of answer.
Ye Dongtian shook his head in confusion, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
The Earth Killer is independent of the other three departments. All funds are earned from bounty orders, not from Shenwei Division or Prince Yan's Mansion. Speaking of lack of money, the amount of money spent by the Ministry of Land to build this kind of underground palace over the years is an astonishing amount. Are you talking about the lack of experts? There are thousands of Earthly Killers of Black Iron level hiding in the entire Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, and there are even tens of thousands of nameless killers. With the killers' strange methods, these killers can overthrow anyone who has stood for many years when they gather together. ancient family.
Even ordinary sects may not be able to compare with the Earth Department in terms of high-end combat power.
So why are they so low-key
Is it because the killer is special
Ye Dongtian couldn't figure out this problem, so he simply stopped thinking about it and said to Lu Li, who was still looking around: "There are usually not many people in the Imperial City branch, but now there are only a dozen killers stationed here, and an Earth Origin killer is responsible for coordinating the planning. The big picture.”
"Earth Yuan Killer? What realm?" Lu Li asked subconsciously.
Since the other party is the former person in charge of this underground palace, if he wants to take over the position of the four leaders, wouldn't he suddenly become his immediate boss
Although Lu Li was not particularly worried about the other party's resistance, it was still better to find out the details first.
"The peak of Tongxuan, but he can become a Earth Yuan killer, and his killing methods alone are far better than you and me." Ye Dongtian explained, and then said: "Remember what I told you, the realm of a killer sometimes also means killing. one."
When Lu Li heard this, he nodded slightly.
After completing those sixty tasks, he had officially entered the threshold of an assassin, and knew the deep meaning behind Ye Dongtian's words.
Sometimes, the strength shown by the killer is actually a kind of deception. During this period of time, Lu Li himself had killed many Tongxuan warriors who valued the so-called 'realm'. Realm does not completely represent combat power. If the opponent can get the Earth Elemental Mask with the strength of Tongxuan Peak, he must have a skill.
"By the way, speaking of which, you can successfully take over the position of the fourth leader this time. You have to thank Manager Ge when you go back."
Just after entering the underground palace, Ye Dongtian reminded Lu Li as if he had just remembered.
"Thank her?" Lu Li was slightly stunned, and was about to continue asking, but Ye Dongtian stopped talking.
They crossed the palace gate and a huge square appeared in front of them.
In that square, various types of face armor were placed on rows of stone platforms.
The most numerous of them was the silver nameless mask, which was also the one Lu Li was most familiar with.
Looking further back, there is a somewhat restrained black mask, but this mask is much simpler and is not carved into the appearance of a ferocious beast.
"Black Iron Mask?" Lu Li walked closer, looked at the mask, and asked Ye Dongtian, "Where are the Earth Element and Sky Crystal Masks?"
Ye Dongtian walked directly past him and said lightly: "Only the four leaders are qualified to come into contact with the Earth Element and Sky Crystal Mask, and they are not displayed outside on weekdays."
Lu Li felt a little regretful, licked his lips, and then remembered: "Am I not the fourth leader?"
He hasn't gotten used to the change in his identity yet.
I originally thought that when I entered the underground, I would start from the lowest level. Who knew that King Yan would promote him to such a high position with just a wave of his hand.
"You are the weakest leader in the history of our tribe. I advise you to keep a low profile during this period, otherwise, you may become the leader who died the fastest in the history of our tribe, killing two people in a row. Historical records can be regarded as leaving a name in history.”
Ye Dongtian said this and took out his black iron mask. A faint light emitted from the mask, and soon all the mask in the square echoed each other.
Even Lu Li's silver faceplate gradually became hotter.
"Remember, this is a way for the earth killer to call his companions. It is also a way for you to ask for help from nearby companions when you are on the verge of extinction." Ye Dongtian held the visor and continued to explain to Lu Li, "Of course , if the killer is in a desperate situation, even if you take out your mask and call your colleagues, the people who come will only have time to collect the body for you. However, there are rules in the land. If the armor shines on weekdays, as long as there is no mission, you must rush to the scene quickly. .”
"The coverage area of the Black Iron Mask happens to be this underground palace. If there are still people there, they should be here soon."
Letting the light shine for a moment, Ye Dongtian murmured to himself and put away his visor.
After a while, a man and a woman slowly walked to the square.
"Ye Nineteen, it's really strange to see you in the Imperial Capital branch."
The man among them saw Ye Dongtian and raised his hand to greet him, as if they were familiar with him.
The woman next to him was much more reserved, her eyes swept over Lu Li and Ye Dongtian covertly, and she stood aside without saying a word.
"Let me introduce you." Ye Dongtian nodded to the two of them, pointed at Lu Li and said, "This is the new leader."
"leader?"
The two people's eyes immediately fell on Lu Li.
Even the rather reserved woman stared at him with a very strange look.
"Ye Jiu, please don't make random jokes. Wen Zhengrong is not dead yet, and other Earth Yuan killers come to take over the Imperial City branch? This is against the rules." The man frowned and lowered his voice: "Fortunately, there are only two of us now. Now, I’ll pretend I haven’t heard what you said.”
"you misunderstood."
Ye Dongtian shook his head, "I don't mean the leader of the Imperial City branch, I mean, from today on, he is the fourth leader of the Dibu branch."
Hearing these words, the two people who were already a little surprised suddenly looked at Lu Li with an even more terrifying look.
Lu Li felt horrified and greeted them with a smile.
"The four leaders of the Land Department? Him?" The man was obviously more talkative and couldn't help but walk to Ye Dongtian's side, "Ye Nineteen, are you crazy?"
"This is the decision of His Highness King Yan, and also Ge Xinyue's decision." Ye Dongtian directly threw out two names, immediately dispelling the man's doubts.
He looked Lu Li up and down and said, "It turns out that the reason why Wen Zhengrong was injured was you."
After saying that, he said with a bit of frivolity: "Let's get to know each other. I am Sun Huang, the ancient Huang."
Then he pointed at the more reserved woman, "She is Su Liu, you can call her by her codename, Su Kuangdao."
"Crazy Blade?" Lu Li was shocked by this informal code name. Just as he was about to ask something, Ye Dongtian grabbed him and said calmly: "Although there are only two of you now, including me, you can't do anything." That’s enough.”
When Sun Huang heard this, he showed a hint of a smile, "Ye Nineteen, why did you choose to come to the branch at this time? This was your original idea?"
"One more thing is worse than one less thing." Ye Dongtian didn't explain anything, holding his black iron mask and looking at Sun Huang and Su Liu.
Su Liu hesitated for a moment, and then took out the black iron mask.
Although Sun Huang looked reluctant, when he saw that Su Liu had done this, he took out his black iron mask and the three of them looked at Lu Li.
Seeing this, Lu Li hesitantly took out the silver nameless visor, and then the three of them shot him back with speechless expressions, and said with a smile: "Isn't that what you meant?"
"Take out the Divine Killing Seal." Ye Dongtian sighed.
