In the year 934 of the demon calendar, the northwest region that had been in chaos due to the demon invasion finally calmed down. With the strengthening of the seal and the elimination of the demons, this matter was eventually left unsettled. As time passed, it became a joke among the people. Although the Qingyun Sect was extremely angry with the person behind the scenes, they could only give up in the end because they did not have sufficient evidence. Although this matter had disgraced the Qingyun Sect, it was a blessing in disguise that they had taken in a good disciple. It was a blessing in disguise.
The wheel of time continued to move forward unhurriedly. Forty years was neither long nor short. It was enough to make a strong young man sit on a recliner and brag to his young grandson about his great achievements in his youth, and it was enough to make an old man walk into the cemetery, the final destination of his life. A new generation replacing the old was like a torch that had burned to the end, leaving behind the remnants of the fire to pass to the new torch. Then, it silently burned out, leaving only dust. In the blink of an eye, one of them had grown up while the other had aged. It was because of this that life was so beautiful.
The old would eventually pass away, and the new generation would devote their fiery youth to their era, just like now.
Zhao Wumian stared expressionlessly at the sixty-four contestants below the stage. His poker face was exceptionally serious. Cultivation had no time. That was a lie. Cultivators were also humans and would eventually grow old. Time had left an indelible mark on his face. Although it was slight, it had indeed left a mark. A pair of dignified eyes swept across the juniors below the stage, and Zhao Wumian's heart bloomed with joy." They were all good seedlings!
The male disciples were all in high spirits and carried a sense of vigor. The female disciple was graceful with a heroic spirit, and her entire body exuded an otherworldly aura. "Alright, alright, alright. With such an outstanding disciple, can our Qingyun Sect not rise to a higher level?
Zhao Wumian, who had been Sect Leader for forty years, looked at the group of male and female disciples happily as if he had seen the glorious future of the Qingyun Sect. Taking a deep breath, he nodded at his eldest disciple, Zhuge Wuhen, who was standing at the side. The latter was stunned for a moment before he understood. He walked up to the stage and waved his hand. His voice resounded throughout the entire stage, The Qingyun Sect's Seven Lineages Martial Competition begins!”
Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. Not to mention that the Qingyun Sect was holding the once-in-a-decade Seven Lineages Martial Competition, but the 'Steve' organization in the Easternmost Region was currently in a gloomy and bleak state.
Lemotto felt very irritated. His fingers kept tapping the wrong frequency, making him want to grab everything he could and smash it to his heart's content. The culprit who had brought him this frustration was hiding in the darkness without making a sound, as if he was watching a good show.
"Thump, thump…"
In the dark secret room, the sound of fingers touching the chair could be heard. It was short, dull, and suffocating. Lemotto's face was cold, and his sharp eagle eyes stared unblinkingly at the person in the darkness. Even if that person moved slightly, the owner of the gaze would shift in the direction of the person's movement. His golden eyes shone brightly in the darkness, as if he was showing off his power, but also as if he was warning the black shadow. Don't play any tricks on me! Darkness has no effect on me.
After a long time, the knocking finally stopped. Lemotto, who had lost in the battle of Naixin, was the first to break the terrifying silence.
"So, the Gemini plan has failed again?”His voice was cold and his words carried obvious disappointment.
" Mm..." A " Mm..." was heard. It was crisp and straightforward. What responded to him was the sound of glass shattering.
"What a joke! You bastard!" An angry roar, a roar filled with anger. Looking in the direction of the sound, a glass cup had been crushed by Lemotto.
"Thirty years ago, you said that Project Gemini had already begun its countdown. I was very happy and did my best to support you, but what did you bring to the organization in the end?”
" The Abyss of the South, Lucena!"
"What a wonderful experiment. It really suits your aesthetics. The figure in the darkness frowned for the first time.
"But we don't need uncontrollable biochemical weapons, my dear friend. Your experiment is of no value to the organization. So you said that you wanted to re-test and find the flaws in the experiment. I still support you without reservation.”The voice calmed down again, and the air was filled with memories. It was quiet and sober, but no one could guarantee that this was not the calm before the storm.
" So, thirty years later, you swore to me that the Gemini Plan was perfect and would be a hundred percent successful! What happened after that? I still supported you as always.”
"Hahahaha, hehe, hehe!”The terrifying laughter resounded throughout the entire secret room. In the dark secret room, the owl-like laughter was so ear-piercing that it made people feel fear.
"Haha, I realized that I was really stupid, so naive, so pitifully stupid. I've been cheated by you for decades and still helped you count your money.”The miserable laughter was filled with disappointment. It seemed to be mixed with self-mockery or anger?
"But is this how you respond to my trust? Just by relying on these half-human, half-ghost things? Or should I say, the so-called semi-finished product you mentioned, huh? "Don't you know that the Qingyun Sect will open its sect again in the next few days? Without powerful martial arts, how do you expect us to fight them?”
"Am I right? My best friend David. Although I still support your Gemini project out of friendship, the organization no longer has any extra funds for you to squander. Every effort we make, after all, we have to be worthy of the taxpayer-paid, right?”
Ridicule, thick mockery. After pausing twice on the word " taxpayer', Lemotto looked at the black shadow without any trust.
The black shadow walked out of the darkness with a dark face and a frown. He looked at Lemotto with eyes full of anger.
Even his best friend could not forgive someone who had profaned his sacred experiment!
"Lemotto, I'm very disappointed."
"Me too." He sat on the chair and quietly looked down at the familiar faces below the stage. With half a human face and half a skeleton face, Lemotto's voice was calm and emotionless.
The two of them looked at each other quietly without saying a word. The atmosphere in the secret room was as heavy as death.
"Hey, hey, you two are family. Don't hurt the harmony.”With a creak, the door was pushed open. Wearing a round felt hat, black sunglasses, and a black suit, Lu Lu walked in happily.
With Lu Lu's intervention, the tense atmosphere finally showed signs of easing up.
"Well, aren't you just worried that the Qingyun Sect will grow bigger? I have an idea. I don't know if you'll listen." Lu Lu adjusted his sunglasses and smiled like a good old man, as if what he had just said had nothing to do with him.
"Speak!" The simultaneous berating made Lu Lu jump in shock.
"The Qingyun Sect is very united at the moment, so they can use their strength in one place. However, the strongest fortresses were often broken from the inside. If they wanted to suppress the Qingyun Sect, they only needed to sit on the fence to achieve their goal.”He smiled and spoke with confidence. As soon as he said this, the entire secret room fell into a dead silence.
After a long time, he said," Hahahahaha…Good plan, good plan, good plan!”A relieved laugh rang out. The sound passed through the secret chamber, through the organization, and resounded through the clouds!
