No.4 tossed out a jar.

"Everyone in."

Someone immediately fell into the jar without hesitation, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing.

The remaining people followed the example, until everyone entered.

No.4 put away the jar, ignited the Heavenly Fire, and set ablaze the base, taking away all valuable things.

He quietly left the base and arrived at the place agreed upon with Yu Ziqing.

Guided by Yu Ziqing, he left the Earth Deity Divine Country of the Mother River.

Within the Mother River Earth Deity Divine Country, the escaping White Water Egg was overwhelmingly crushed.

Some were captured alive, while others fell on the spot.

When they reached the base, all they saw was the raging Heavenly Fire.

Just as they learned from interrogating some people earlier, those unwilling to flee or be captured all perished inside.

Under the Heavenly Fire, they possibly can't obtain anything valuable.

The biggest gain might just be those captured White Water Eggs and Langya Institute killing a high-level individual.

Song Chengyue was an onlooker the whole time, and this time he was clear of involvement since he was not the commander, and his intelligence had greatly contributed.

Letting that crazy poison expert escape alive would definitely cause more harm than a Ninth Tier Strong going berserk.

On the other side, Yu Ziqing led No.4 to escape, quickly passed through Kuihou Country, and entered Dali territory.

Once in a safe place, Yu Ziqing looked at No.4.

"The process of your escape cannot be kept secret.

You can't explain this matter.

If you go back, just say that I saved you, and it was to defect you.

You pretended to accept my defection to recover huge losses.

To win my trust, you even provided me with some intelligence.

But you made a huge discovery; I have a special summoning rune that allows free entry and exit of the Earth Deity Divine Country.

The rune comes from Jinlan Mountain, from a Ninth Tier Peak top-tier stronghold, but you won't know more specifically.

Because to avoid suspicion, to gain trust, you didn't dare to act too hastily.

However, because of the intelligence you provided, I now trust you greatly."

No.4 immediately understood what he should do.

This is to make him a double agent.

But the problem is, only by doing this can he explain why he managed to escape.

Moreover, a mix of truth and lies would make it easier for him to do some things instead.

Otherwise, even if he went back now, he might have some major problems.

Yu Ziqing extended a finger and lightly touched No.4's Sword Peak location.

A beast mouth rune was left there, along with a hint of curse aura and ominous aura swirling.

On the surface, it seems to be the same as before.

No.4 remained silent, having forgotten to calculate value, finding it impossible.

He had long resolved to die, knowing that even if he dissolved the curse, he wouldn't live for long.

Now, Yu Ziqing personally patched the loophole for him.

He knew that Yu Ziqing wanted to use him to leak some information.

So he should just do it.

After thanking reverently, No.4 quietly left.

Days later, he contacted No.10, who had always been outside, through channels.

Learned where the new base is.

In an abandoned Grotto Heaven of the Kuihou Country, there is a small crack leading to the Abyss.

Their new base is in the Abyss.

Back at the base, No.1 scrutinized No.4, and the large group of people No.4 rescued, feeling somewhat surprised.

Seeing the huge amount of resources and records No.4 saved.

After hearing that it was foolproof, that some people were released, and the base was burned with Heavenly Fire, No.1 didn't know what to say.

No.4's abilities were stronger than he thought.

As for the death of No.3, it couldn't be blamed on anyone else as no one could persuade No.3.

No.1 waved others away and then looked at No.4.

"How did you escape? All the passages were sealed."

"Qing Ziyu from Jinlan Mountain brought me out." No.4 replied calmly.

No.1's aura instantly showed a ripple; his gaze like a physical presence, stared firmly at No.4.

"He had a special summoning rune that allows free movement in and out of the Earth Deity Divine Country."

No.1 heard this and knew the matter was serious.

The person that the master wants to find might really be someone from Jinlan Mountain.

And certainly not the sleeping Hungry Ghost King.

He wanted to ask more detailed questions, but this time No.4 had an amazing performance, and No.3 was dead.

He felt it was truly time to elevate No.4's status significantly and give him enough power.

Meeting the master would be like this.

Since No.4 spoke so plainly, he naturally hadn't betrayed the organization.

Instead, he took the opportunity to connect with Jinlan Mountain.

At the new sacrificial altar, the light flickered on the Jade Scroll, and everything around transformed into a scene.

A painting hung there, Wig White Water Egg still stood there, only a back view.

No.1 recounted the events of the past few days, then looked at No.4, giving him a chance to speak.

No.4 spoke 95% truth, leaving the other half hidden, the words he spoke were entirely true.

Just a lot of the sequence of events was adjusted.

Thus, the matter was concluded.

Qing Ziyu knew about the attack in advance, infiltrated the Earth Deity Divine Country to find him, and upon discovering the special summoning rune in Qing Ziyu's hands, he immediately feigned allegiance, providing much data to gain trust.

Anyway, those data seemed important, but in reality, they didn't contain major figures' information.

Now, Qing Ziyu trusted him greatly, so he spared his life.

Along the way, he also took the opportunity to rescue more people, mitigating substantial losses.

After all, the organization is currently short of manpower; if losses are too great this time, many things cannot proceed.

Wig White Water Egg listened and then asked.

"The special summoning rune can move freely in and out of the Earth Deity Divine Country...?"

"Reply to Master, it's indeed like this; he took me out from a place with no one."

"Do you know where the summoning rune comes from?"

"From Jinlan Mountain; it should be from a Ninth Tier Peak stronghold, but more specific details I dared not rashly ask."

Wig White Water Egg gritted his teeth these past days.

Being inexplicably targeted, cursed to death.

The ability to capture the True Name Seal was contaminated by bizarre spellcraft and couldn't be used again.

No results from searching when descending, ultimately having to blame the Hungry Ghost King.

Now hearing about this special summoning rune, he immediately grew spirited.

Hungry Ghost Dao, Body Refining Technique, simultaneously still an Earth Deity person, indeed in Jinlan Mountain.

Able to issue such summoning rune must be the one he clashed with in Dao.

Absolutely impossible to be the sleeping Hungry Ghost King.

Wig White Water Egg understood why that person wanted to hide.

Because the Tenth Tier path has not opened, he estimated he wasn't an opponent; once the Tenth Tier path opens, that person will definitely advance to the Tenth Tier, making it difficult to deal with him then.

"Done well, whatever information he wants, can be directly given to him.

But, find out who exactly is the stronghold hidden in Jinlan Mountain.

If any news, report to me immediately."
