"Ying, what are you going to do?" The old man at the beginning looked at Jiang Cheng with some scrutiny and spoke.
"I'm just giving you a choice, just this one choice. Oh, I almost forgot, for those of you who have already made deals, I'm here to fulfill my promise."
"Deal? What do you mean? What else do you have to do..."
Before the old man finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that the four elders who had just raised their hands to show that they had not betrayed stood up from the pillars and jumped down.
"you… "
"Just like someone made a deal with Xu, there are also people among you who made a similar deal with me. It's similar to..."
With that said, Jiang Cheng drew out his sword. The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the four elders. When Jiang Cheng appeared again, he was already behind the four elders, and the sword in his hand was also Already sheathed.
"...Help me become an elder, and I'll help them end their suffering and stuff like that."
After the words fell, the keys in the hands of the four elders slowly disappeared, and then slowly fell to the ground.
thump!
Somewhat strangely, the faces of the four elders did not show any pain. On the contrary, they seemed to be relieved as if they had received some kind of relief.
Except for the original old man who had a solemn expression as if he was thinking about something, the other seven elders who had done business with Xu began to whisper to each other.
"What do you want?" one of the seven elders asked.
Jiang Cheng chuckled twice and did not answer.
"We can give you what you want, but you have to end our pain when we want to end it." The second of the seven elders spoke.
"As I said, it's only today, a huge sale off the building."
"Don't be too arrogant! Boy!" the third of the seven elders said.
"It has been nine years since I joined the Tiandaozong and three years since I became an elder. You should know me well enough, right? I am not someone who gives others a second chance. It is up to you to decide whether you will live in pain or be freed from it."
"I can't stand it anymore!" The fourth of the seven elders jumped down directly, "I can't stand this kind of pain anymore! Give me a good boy! The command of all the association branches that I am responsible for from now on is you. It’s over!”
"The deal is established."
A flash of sword light flashed, and the elder's expression gradually relaxed, and he went to hell with a satisfied expression.
"I'll give mine to you too! It's just because I believe in you! The Heavenly Daoists will leave it to you!" The fifth of the seven elders also jumped down, but when he jumped down, his right calf suddenly fell off.
"It's a high-sounding lie, but I don't hate it."
Another flash of sword light flashed, and the elder and the leg gradually stopped all biological functions.
"Me...Me too! The Heavenly Daoists will leave it to you from now on!"
brush!
"Boy, let's turn the Heavenly Daoists into real eagles!"
brush!
"Boy! I believe you!"
brush!
…
After a while, these seven betrayed elders were all in the west area, and only the elder who opened his mouth at the beginning was left on the stage.
"In the end, everyone was able to say such righteous and high-sounding words without conscience. So it's not as boring as I thought. Then, you are the last one left, old man. How about it?"
The last old man was silent for a long time before speaking: "Eagle, what is your purpose? I know it even if you are wearing a mask. I have seen you countless times and there is no desire at all in your eyes. So your purpose is definitely not Will you get everything from the Heavenly Daoists?"
"I still have such things as desire, but I only have it when I'm facing a good woman I like. I really don't have it when I'm facing an old man's property. After all, I hate things that reek of age. No matter how valuable they are, I don't want them. I don’t like it.”
"Answer me! What is your purpose?"
"I like young trends, so I want to bring old and decadent things into hell, that's all. Old man, it was your last important vote that made me become the winner with a vote of seven to five. Thirteenth Elder, in the end, as a way of repaying my kindness, I won’t pay you any more. You don’t have to hold on. Your body can’t bear it for a long time, right? Besides Naraku, the second largest expense in the association is to buy you painkillers. I still know about the expenses.”
After a moment of silence, the elder asked again: "Heaven...what will happen to the Heavenly Daoists?"
"Are you still reluctant to let go? Is it because you ate too much Bafilin that you are half as gentle as you?"
"answer me."
"...Have you forgotten because of your Alzheimer's disease? There is another Heavenly Daoist in front of you, and this identity will not change until I die."
…
Jiang Cheng left the room on the elevator. As soon as he landed, he saw Hao leaning on the wall.
"How's it going? Is it over yet?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"The crows on Earth have been completely dealt with."
As he said that, Hao glanced above his head lightly and asked, "Where are you here?"
"It's over too."
"Don't we need to dispose of the corpses? As you said, their blood contains a weak factor..."
Jiang Cheng started slowly and said as he walked: "It's been cleaned up. I'm not the kind of person who would leave any threats. How's it going on the other side of the earth...?"
Hajime, who was following him, said: "Issaburo Sasaki and Nana... Nobume Imai hid after returning to Edo, and the few members of the returning team also disappeared. Only a few of the real ones were left. The Sengumi and Katsura faction are also hiding underground to recuperate, while Okita Sougo, Shiro Yasha and the little Night Usagi girl who are fighting you head-on are still unconscious.
Tokugawa Kiki ordered the destruction of all police organizations related to that man (Sasaki) and prepared to completely reform the police agency. The shogunate has... reached its weakest point in history. Some radical people with anti-barbarian ideals plotted rebellion twice, but were completely suppressed. "
"This general really helped us. He saved us the opportunity to clean up."
"Also, Master Xinghaibo also arrived on Earth half a month ago, but after leaving his wife with someone to live in Yoshiwara, he took a look at his daughter who was not yet awake, and then left again. There is nothing about you. Said. His current whereabouts are unknown."
"...Yueyue..." Jiang Cheng sighed softly, but then shook his head, "No, let Baldy return the favor this time."
"His whereabouts..."
Jiang Cheng's tone was calm: "Don't worry about it for now, maybe because you feel as unwilling as the son, just leave these things to me until the end. By the way, next we are going to go directly to see the Altana Liberation Army. The ship is finally handed over to you.
Gao Zai noticed it at the last moment that day. Gao Zai will definitely wake up. Before that, he will be handed over to you. Help me stop him. The blood of Matsushita Village School... will be enough if it flows to us. "
"Um… "
"Are there enough people?"
"enough."
Jiang Cheng sighed with emotion: "I never thought that one day I would become the last and only Heavenly Daoist in this universe."
"If... there is a one in 10,000 possibility, if you can see the teacher, please tell me... I'm sorry."
After a moment, Jiang Chengcai nodded lightly, took out a small glass bottle from his arms and handed it over.
"This is…"
"Eat it."
Hao didn't ask any more questions. He took the bottle and poured out the small gel-like pills in it, poured it into his mouth and swallowed it. For Hao, it didn't matter whether it was poison or other things. This was atonement...
…
One month later.
In the main conference room of a giant white flying saucer-shaped spaceship surrounded by countless frigates, on the golden metal ring-shaped conference table, a middle-aged man with long lavender hair looked at the report in front of him. His brows were furrowed.
This middle-aged man with long lavender hair is Admiral Purple Bird, one of the founding leaders of the Altana Liberation Army.
"What's going on? The Tiandao Association branches that have been controlling the gates for a long time on various planets have been discovered one after another by various planets, and were eliminated without anyone knowing it not long ago. Who did it? And it’s not just a few planets, but almost all the planets controlled by the Heavenly Daoists! What kind of force can do this kind of thing? It would be great if we could contact them, and we could come with us..."
"Admiral Purple Sparrow," a pink-skinned lizard man on the side said, "And not only that, the time when the association was destroyed based on the several planets we obtained is almost the same! In other words, the time when the association was destroyed is almost the same! , there is a force that has been lurking on various planets, waiting for the opportunity. After waiting for the time to mature, it suddenly orders all associations to be eliminated in one fell swoop! This... this is too terrifying! It is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do! I'm afraid it can only It’s just a little smaller than the power of the Heavenly Daoists!”
"Well, that's true," Zique nodded, "But the strange thing is, why have I never heard of a similar organization?"
The purple-skinned catfish spirit said: "Maybe he is afraid of being exposed, so he has been secretly accumulating strength."
Zi Que sighed softly and put down the information in his hand: "It would be great if we could contact him. With such a huge energy, if it can be our help, why should the Heavenly Daoists not be able to collapse?"
"But because of this, we didn't get any assistance from the planets we passed along the way. After all, the associations on their respective planets have been unknowingly uprooted. At this time, Altana, who was busy taking over his own, didn't even think about it. Kong pays no attention to us. His attitude towards our Altana Liberation Army is also extremely ordinary."
Catfish Spirit's face clearly showed some displeasure.
The eel spirit leaned back on the chair and said with emotion: "What a lucky group of guys. They caught up with such a good thing and were liberated from the hands of the Heavenly Daoists without doing anything."
Zi Que frowned and asked: "Do you think it is related to the group of unidentified people who stopped the war on the three planets of King Ming, Li Ji, and Jiao Xing, which were attacked almost at the same time? They suddenly appeared and stopped the war. The door that protected the three planets from causing damage was the reason why they didn't go crazy like Dan Huang and Wu Ling."
The Purple Sweet Potato Spirit clenched his fists and knocked on the table hard, with a look of unbearable expression on his face: "Hey, it's the lucky guy again! Why are they so lucky? It's so jealous that it's hateful! How can it be repaired!!"
Zique smiled: "Perhaps there is more than enough ambition, but not enough power. Although this organization is huge, it can only act secretly, and they have tried their best. As far as I am concerned, it is a very respectable organization, if I can , I really want to meet them. Especially their organizer, I think he must be a very good leader."
What Zique didn't know was that the leader he said he wanted to meet was currently aboard the spaceship of Ye Rabbit, one of the three mercenaries hired by his side, who was at a distance from the fleet.
Except for Jiang Cheng, there was no one alive on the ship. The same was true on the ship of Chen Luo and Du Jini, the second of the three mercenaries. There was not a single living person alive.
Jiang Cheng was such a silent person, he sneaked in like a ghost and killed three major mercenary troops, and set the spacecraft to auto-pilot.
Nothing wrong will be noticed for the time being.
As for how many spaceships it would take to assassinate and cannibalize before being discovered, it's hard to say.
