A man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the room, both wearing masks, got up when they heard the words, and bowed their heads lightly towards Du Mu.

Then the man took off his mask, revealing a calm and resolute face, about thirty years old, with a distinct cyan stubble on his chin and cheeks, revealing a faint sense of vicissitudes.

"Heat!" he said lightly, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Cold dew!"

Another woman with a graceful figure then also took off her mask, and under the mask was a beautiful face as delicate as a doll, looking at Du Mu calmly.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Du Mu!"

The moment he saw the woman's face clearly, Du Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but whisper: "Senior Sister Qianxi?"

Senior Sister Qianxi is actually a cadre of the annual ring?

As soon as this thought came to Du Mu's mind, he immediately reacted, turned his head to look at Xia Zhi, who chuckled lightly and said calmly: "That's right, I invited Qianxi to join the annual ring." ”

Really!

Du Mu sighed secretly.

In fact, he should have thought that Xia Zhi had planned to invite him to join the annual ring, but Luo Shen was the first to ascend, since he was all invited, it was reasonable for Qianxi, who was also talented and powerful, to be invited.

Wait, in that case, did my sister get an invitation?

Du Mu suddenly thought, and quickly denied it, if there was, Xia Zhi would definitely explain it to him.

Everyone present seemed to have known the relationship between Qianxi and Du Mu, and there was no look of surprise on their faces.

Du Mu quickly restrained his emotions, glanced at Qianxi, who was calm, and sat down on the sofa with everyone.

"There's something I want you to help with!"

There was no greeting, as soon as everyone sat down, Pei Man went straight to the point, looked at Du Mu with a solemn face, and said in a low voice.

Du Mu straightened his back slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Star Luo Academy is about to organize an exchange group in a month to go to the Fire Silver Merchant Alliance and the White Eagle Empire's Supreme Martial Science Academy, you know about this, right?"

"I just didn't know it long. ”

"I hope you can join the White Eagle Empire's exchange group!"

"Why?" Du Mu did not hide his doubts, although it was an exchange between the best martial arts academies of the three major countries, he didn't feel that this matter needed to be secretly participated by a cadre sent by the year ring.

Pei Man didn't answer directly, but pondered for a moment before he slowly said in a deep voice: "You are already a cadre of the annual ring, so it is okay for you to know about this matter." ”

"In fact, the organization is now in a state of leaderlessness, and our leader, Nian, disappeared two years ago!"

"Missing?" Du Mu didn't expect Pei Man to suddenly say this kind of news, and his eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

"Yes, missing!"

"I can't find the power of the rings?"

Pei Man nodded solemnly.

"In that case......

Du Mu frowned and didn't continue, but Pei Man understood what he meant.

"'Nian' is not dead yet, we have a special method to be sure, he must still be alive somewhere, but no matter how we look for it in the past two years, we haven't found the slightest clue about his whereabouts!"

"It wasn't until recently that we found a clue that could be related to Nian's disappearance!"

"That clue points to the White Eagle Empire?" Du Mu asked.

Pei Man nodded and continued: "Before the 'Nian' lost the news, the last place where it was located was the White Eagle Empire, so the organization has been looking in this direction for the past two years, but there is no gain, and I also got the clue by chance. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Man suddenly said, "Have you heard about the fall of the Golden Feather Knights of the White Eagle Empire?"

Du Mu nodded, the Golden Feather Knights are one of the three elite warrior legions of the White Eagle Empire, the number is not large, the establishment has never exceeded 200 people, but more than ninety percent of the members are six-star warriors, and the head of the knight is a strong person in the inner qi realm who has won the title of 'Martial Saint', and the strength and elite of the entire knight order are world-famous, which can be said to be the pride of the White Eagle Empire.

However, just two years ago, the Golden Feather Knights suddenly suffered a devastating blow, the members were almost wiped out, the head of the Knights fell and died, and the deputy head of the Knights, who was also a martial artist of the Inner Qi Realm, was seriously injured and dying, and died of injuries not long after returning to the imperial capital, and the Knights of Nuoda fell apart in one day, and all members were gone.

This incident caused a great sensation not only in the White Eagle Empire at that time, but also in the world, and no one expected that the powerful Golden Feather Knights would be destroyed in just one day, including two Inner Qi Realm martial artists.

The White Eagle Empire's explanation to the outside world is that the Golden Feather Knights have encountered unspeakable dangers in the process of exploring the ruins, which has led to such a tragic consequence, and as for whether it is true or not, outsiders do not know.

Du Mu was still studying at Qiming High School in Haoguang City at the time, but he had also heard about it, and his memory was quite profound.

"You mean, Nian's disappearance has something to do with the fall of the Golden Feather Knights?"

"It is very likely that we have sent someone to secretly inquire about the destruction of the Golden Feather Knights, but this matter has been tightly sealed by the imperial family, and the insiders are either dead or secretive, because it involves the royal family of the White Eagle Empire, we are not good at using coercive means to investigate, so we have to put it on hold. ”

"If the Golden Feather Knights really perished because of the irresistible danger they encountered while exploring the ruins, as the White Eagle Empire said, then why did they seal their passage so tightly?"

"Moreover, it was after this incident that we found out that we couldn't contact 'Nian' anyway!"

Du Mu bowed his head slightly.

After Pei Man said this, it seems that behind the fall of the Golden Feather Knights, it really is not so simple.

Still, he was a little puzzled.

"With the power of the annual ring, if you really want to find out the truth behind this matter, it shouldn't be two years without any gain, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the room became complicated.

Du Mu was wondering, but he heard Xia Zhi say in a deep voice: "You are right, if the annual rings really work together to find out about this matter, even if the imperial family does not cooperate, there is no way for us to find out the truth." ”

Du Mu's expression gradually became strange: "It means that someone in the organization is obstructing the investigation?"

His tone was filled with shock and disbelief.

The investigation of the truth about the destruction of the Golden Feather Knights involves the disappearance of the leader of the organization, Nian, and there are still people who are secretly blocking it, and those who can wrestle with Pei Man and Xia Zhi must also be the highest cadres and cadres of the organization.

As the core executives of the annual rings, why do they do this?

The reason behind this is scary!
