After Fang Xingchen and Zhang Hong discussed the countermeasures, they left the depths of the ruins and returned to the path of Tongtian Road to join everyone.

Zhang Hong was responsible for convincing his soldiers to keep what had happened before. Fang Xingchen, on the other hand, passed on the true and false secrets that affected life and death to the scholars and asked them to make a choice. It depends on whether they will open the Five Elements Array with themselves and go on an adventure in the alien world, or stay and wait for the judgment of life and death.

All the scholars are intellectuals with higher education, so naturally they will not easily believe what Fang Xingchen said. However, there are also people who are prepared for danger in times of peace, and they move their ears. As for how they chose in the end, only by waiting for Fang Xingchen to really open the Five Elements Array could they confirm whether what Fang Xingchen said was true.

After all, interstellar teleportation is too sci-fi, and it is an unknown device in an ancient ruins, so it's hard for everyone to believe what its true role is?

However, the fact that Fang Xingchen has supernatural abilities is obvious to everyone. So for everyone, Fang Xingchen himself is a mystery, and everyone will naturally look at what he said with a half-believing attitude.

Along the way, Zhang Hong still escorted a group of scholars who walked out of the depths of the ruins to the white jade square surrounded by a metal wall according to the old chief's order. After returning to the square, the old chief had been waiting for a long time, and he was full of joy as he looked at the silver metal box carried by several soldiers with a smile. Because the box contained the Tongtian Star Wheel that was handed over from Fang Xingchen's hand.

"Zhang Hong, well done~ Put them all in the confinement room, and wait for them to fall~ By the way, take off their protective clothing, will this thing be used in the future?"

As long as everyone is not stupid, they can hear what the old chief said, and suddenly there was a voice of criticism, which resounded throughout the white jade square.

"What's the matter, what are you still standing?" Seeing that Zhang Hong was standing still and did not carry out his order, the old chief urged impatiently.

"Old chief, please listen to me~ Whether this Five Elements Array can be successfully opened or not, they still need their assistance~" At this moment, Zhang Hong had a hunch that the old chief seemed to be under the control of the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise he would not have behaved so decisively. In order to test whether the old chief was completely controlled, Zhang Hong could only use the opening of the Five Elements Array as a bait to make sure that the old chief had reacted.

"What are you talking about, can they open the Five Elements Array?" Suddenly, the old chief's voice became hoarse, as if he was speaking in a different way.

"Yes, Your Excellency~ They have discovered the secret of opening the Five Elements Array in the depths of the ruins, if they let them experiment, there is a great possibility that the Five Elements Array will be operational. Hearing the old chief's voice suddenly change into another person, Zhang Hong was shocked. In his opinion, the mastermind behind the control of the old chief must be a great man, otherwise how could he avoid the power limit of the ruins and directly control the old chief in the ruins.

"Very good, very good~ Let them move quickly, what equipment do you need, although you can meet them~ As long as you can open the Five Elements Array, I will remember your first merit~" turned into another old chief, without the tiredness of the old man, his gestures were full of fierce momentum.

Seeing the change in the old chief, the soldiers around him have become accustomed to it. Only the uninformed scholars sensed a trace of unusual worry and fear, and they all moved closer to Fang Xingchen, as if they had begun to believe that what Fang Xingchen said was true.

Since when he was in the depths of the ruins, Fang Xingchen had already warned everyone that when he returned to the White Jade Square, he needed to wait and see what happened. What was said was not nonsense because of worry and fear.

"Xingchen, what should I do now? It seems that the matter is basically the same as what you said, we may really be folded in the ruins~ Even Liao Jiangping and they are no longer here, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive!" Sun Tianxiang leaned over to Fang Xingchen's side and whispered. For the young man with extraordinary abilities in front of him, Sun Tianxiang also pinned his hopes on him.

"They shouldn't be dead?, they may be locked in the confinement room that the old chief said~" After returning to the White Jade Square, Fang Xingchen found at a glance that the scientific researchers and archaeologists who stayed here to study had disappeared. Zhang Hong didn't tell him this, so he still had a trace of distrust in Zhang Hong~ After all, Zhang Hong himself is a semi-parasite, and Fang Xingchen has reason to suspect that Zhang Hong has another premeditated plan.

After being controlled, the old chief seemed to only communicate with Zhang Hong. As long as people are not stupid, they will guess from his words that everyone around them is like a tool that can be used. If it is useful, it can be used well, and if it is useless, it can be thrown away. Even if someone disagrees, it is estimated that they will find a reason and secretly execute. and then set up a good name for dying in the line of duty, and give an explanation to his family.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were already shuddering, afraid that their back road had already been arranged, and relatives and friends outside might not know where they had gone. Over time, various honorable titles of death will be conferred on everyone's relatives and friends.

"Did I say that the big guys have noticed that Dr. Ruan Lingyu and Professor Liao Jiangping are gone?" said Kevins with some concern after seeing the left-behind scholars who disappeared from the scene.

As a foreign scientist, Kevins still has a bit of luck with the current situation, and he does not think that the Chinese military will disregard international relations and disadvantage him. However, when he found out that Ruan Lingyu, a female doctor from Southeast Asia who had stayed in the Five Elements Array to participate in the research, was not present, the only remaining luck in his heart disappeared. In his opinion, maybe things are far from being as simple as he thought, and maybe as Fang Xingchen said, the entire coalition government has problems.

In fact, not only Kevins, but everyone basically found that the people who had stayed in the Five Elements Array to study were gone. It's just that in order not to make a profit, everyone didn't dare to speak out, for fear that they would become the next object to disappear.

After the old chief finished explaining Zhang Hong's task, he suddenly turned his head to Fang Xingchen. Fang Xingchen did not shy away from it, and fixed his eyes to look at the old chief face to face.

From Fang Xingchen's point of view, the old chief's two eyes had no pupils, it looked like the whole eye was dark and deep, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, just like a robot.

While the two looked at each other, Fang Xingchen inexplicably entered a state of trance, and lasted for a while before he came to his senses. At the same time when Fang Xingchen was sober, the old chief gradually returned to normal, but he was a little tired, and he was helped out of the venue by the two soldiers arranged by Zhang Hong.

After the old chief left, Zhang Hong began to deploy the Five Elements Array to start the task as instructed.

At the same time as Zhang Hong was deploying the mission, a strange thing happened in the City of All Things in the Central Plateau of China. A man in black who was in the human embassy of the City of All Things suddenly spat black liquid, and then his entire body burst open, leaving him without any life. After discovering the situation, the other black-clothed people who quickly arrived were shocked by the death of the person in front of them.

"The ninth star lord died of depletion of spiritual energy~" A man in black gave the cause of death after investigating the corpse.

After reaching the conclusion of death, all the men in black present fell into fear, as if they were facing an immortal enemy. In an instant, the entire City of Everything entered a state of alert, and a pitch-black stealth warship slowly descended on the City of Everything from the sky.

On the side of the Kunlun Mountain Ruins, Fang Xingchen insisted on asking Ruan Lingyu to participate in the Five Elements Array opening mission. It also requires all the researchers and archaeologists who have participated in the excavation of the relics to cooperate with the task.

Based on the cooperation agreement between Zhang Hong and Fang Xingchen, Zhang Hong was given the power according to the old chief when he was controlled. Ruan Lingyu, Liao Jiangping, who was detained in the confinement room, was released.

After Ruan Lingyu came out of the confinement room, her face was a little haggard, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes that had not been wiped off. After she saw Fang Xingchen, she ignored everyone's surprised gazes, stepped forward and hugged Fang Xingchen and cried. "Thank you, Fang Xingchen~ I heard from Colonel Zhang Hong, it was you who insisted on asking us to participate in the mission, so we had a chance to come out~"

"It's okay~ Wait a minute, if I open the Five Elements Array, I hope you can tell the other people to stand around me~ Only in this way can you be alive~ By the way~ Don't ask me why? You just do what I say~" Fang Xingchen did not rush to push away Ruan Lingyu who was in despair, but gently patted her shoulder with his hand, giving Ruan Lingyu a hope of living.

"Hmm~" Although the young man named Fang Xingchen in front of her is not her husband. At this moment, Ruan Lingyu felt a more down-to-earth sense of security from Fang Xingchen's body than her husband. Her gentle reply had proved her absolute trust in Fang Xingchen and her desire for life.

Professor Liao Jiangping, who came out of the confinement room, also hugged Sun Tianxiang with old tears, as if he had been greatly wronged, crying like a child.

All the people who came out of the confinement were basically the same. This fully shows that they should know what they shouldn't know, but they were discovered by the old chief, who simply controlled them directly and waited for them to be dealt with.
