Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1171 - 540: Princess Xi Escapes? (10,000 Words Asking for Monthly Tickets!)
While looking at the front row, Pang Haichen was speculating about who would be holding the meeting today.
Is it a special envoy sent from the headquarters of the Fog Hidden Association?
Is it the new Northwestern Region manager of the Fog Hidden Association?
Or... Lord Yaksha’s father?
Although Pang Haichen didn’t have much contact with Yaksha, he was recruited by her, and over the years, he accidentally heard that Yaksha actually has a background in the Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region.
Her father is a high-ranking official of the Fog Hidden Association.
Now that Yaksha is in trouble, it’s very likely it will alert that high-ranking official.
Thinking this, Pang Haichen couldn’t help but look at the solemn figure sitting in the main seat, the host of the meeting.
As a result, he was stunned.
Because.... the host of the meeting was wearing a white robe and a bronze metal mask.
The mask had a blue face and fangs, appearing to be both crying and laughing, somewhat eerie.
The key wasn’t the host’s attire, but that Pang Haichen knew the host!
This was a member who used to attend meetings with them. Code name "Eternal Night".
In the Fog Hidden Association, ranks are strict. Fourth Order is Black Robe, Fifth Order is White Robe, Sixth Order is Purple Robe.
So, "Eternal Night" is clearly a Fifth Order Evil God.
Judging by his usual seating order, second only to Yaksha and Beautiful Wind, his strength and status should rank third in the Northwest Region.
Then, most likely he is a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God!
Pang Haichen would habitually gather information from the Messenger. So he also cautiously inquired about "Eternal Night".
The Messenger, although not clear about his identity, hinted that "Eternal Night" might become the third area manager, donning the Purple Robe, and guarding the Disaster Zone at the Eighth Sanctuary.
And around the Eighth Sanctuary, there are not many Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil Gods, so initially Pang Haichen guessed "Eternal Night" might be Zhao Ji.
Of course, this speculation has long been overturned by him.
Becoming a "traitor" for personal reasons was one thing.
"Zhao Ji" couldn’t possibly be the third-ranking member of the Fog Hidden Association - Northwest Region and eliminate the top two, could she?
That’s too exaggerated.
Thankfully, after ruling out Zhao Ji as a suspect, another suspect entered Pang Haichen’s mind—Muye.
For two reasons:
1. Muye hid his strength. He only displayed his peak Fifth Rank Stage strength superficially. But secretly, he had already advanced to Peak Fifth Rank and controlled 8 areas!
2. After Muye was captured, the Messenger brought Pang Haichen a mission from the Fog Hidden Association: to investigate Muye’s situation.
This unusual mission almost openly hinted that Muye was very likely a member of the Fog Hidden Association.
Coupled with their similar names, Pang Haichen had reason to believe Muye was very likely "Eternal Night" himself!
Then the problem arises.....
Wasn’t Muye already fallen, and the soul remnant still held by Qiu Tu?
How did he suddenly come to hold a meeting? And.... be the host?!
Thinking this, a surge of vigilance rose in Pang Haichen’s heart.
However, since he was merely a Black Robe member, he wasn’t qualified to question this, so he quietly leaned back, trying to minimize his presence and observe the situation’s development.
Sure enough, besides him, other members of the Fog Hidden Association also seemed puzzled by "Eternal Night" sitting in the main seat and holding the meeting.
A member wearing a white robe, but with a fox head, took the initiative to ask, "Eternal Night, what trick are you up to? Why are you the one holding the meeting?"
The member’s voice sounded female, pleasant like a silver bell.
As soon as she spoke, the scene quieted down, and everyone looked at the two, obviously curious about this question, not just the fox face.
And at this moment, "Eternal Night" spoke.
He glanced at the fox face through the crying-laughing mask and said calmly, "It’s merely a new attempt from above."
"A new attempt from above?" Hearing "Eternal Night’s" words, members in the hall either bowed their heads in thought or exchanged glances.
Finally, the fox face tried again, "What attempt?"
But sitting in the host seat, conducting the ritual, "Eternal Night" coldly glanced at her, his tone flat as he said, "Crimson Fox, you ask too many questions."
"Eternal Night" is normally silent during meetings.
Now becoming the meeting host, coupled with his inherent strength and status as the highest present, and given that Yaksha and Beautiful Wind were in trouble, him hosting was indeed reasonable, so no one dared to ask further questions.
Seeing the scene quieted down, "Eternal Night"..... or let’s say Qiu Tu, through the bronze mask, softly surveyed everyone present.
In total, there were 12 White Robes and only 4 Black Robes.
Because this meeting was important, only 3 were excused due to special circumstances.
That means, the Fog Hidden Association of the "Northwest Region" had a total of 21 members.
Excluding the fallen Yaksha and Beautiful Wind, the association still had 15 in Fifth Order and 4 in Fourth Order.
This force was frighteningly powerful.
It was capable of easily destroying a sanctuary.
And more importantly..... Qiu Tu remembered Muye telling him before. In the Fog Hidden Association, there were 6 human members.
One in the Sixth Sanctuary, one in the Eighth Sanctuary, four in the Seventh Sanctuary.
And before the meeting began, Qiu Tu detailed his inquiry with Muye regarding the usual personnel proportion during meetings.
