The night is as cool as water, the stars are extinguished, and the two moons are shining. Fifteen miles away from the western suburbs of the imperial capital of the Eastern Dragon Empire, it is a huge manor, but compared with the atmosphere of ordinary manors, this manor is extremely quiet, and it has the feeling of a hermit's residence. Outside is a forest, which completely separates the sight of pedestrians, and there is an official road on the edge of the forest, but pedestrians who come and go do not know that there is such a place in the depths of the forest next to them.

Although the entire manor covers an area of 1,000 acres, most of the places are planted with a peculiar kind of trees, trees up to 30 meters high, which also surrounds the core of the entire manor, plus the surrounding woods, which is indescribably hidden. And if someone really comes here, from the outside, they will only feel that the owner here has a feeling of living in a secluded forest.

Inside the wooded manor, only a stream runs through it, and near the north side, there is a small pond, surrounded by rockeries, and pieces of lotus leaves floating in the pond, giving people a sense of peace. And there don't seem to be many people in the whole manor, even if it is a residence, there is only a small bamboo building in the center. However, by the bamboo building, there were only a few servants cleaning the fallen leaves, and although it was night, they were still diligent. Occasionally, there are a few rooms with lamps. In addition, there was no sound except for the occasional low chirping of resident birds in the forest.

From the appearance alone, it is estimated that many people will think that the owner here is like a hermit who has returned to the mountains and forests. Perhaps it was a middle-aged rich man who lived a stable life here after handing over the property to his son to take care of. Or some kind of dignitary, retired from the political arena, and lived here for a long time. The whole manor also exists like a paradise.

The three figures entered the forest from different directions, and came to the outside of the manor at the same time, but they did not knock on the gate of the manor, but after going around in a circle, they climbed over the wall and entered the manor.

The familiar road through the forest, every step falls, it seems to follow a certain law, this forest, is a formation. If someone doesn't lead the way, there's a good chance you'll get lost. Obviously, these three people are very familiar with this place, just like their own back garden.

Easily avoiding some traps, several people have already come to the periphery of the bamboo building. By this moment, the servants who were cleaning the courtyard had spotted them.

One of them hurriedly stepped forward and said to the visitor: "Three Venerables, the master is waiting in the pavilion, and I invite the three Venerables to come with me." So saying, the servant led the way in the direction of the pond behind.

The three men, who were called Venerable, did not show any impatience and followed the servant in the direction of the pond.

The servant who led the way led the three of them into the rockery until they came to a stop in front of an inconspicuous boulder. Reach out and knock on the boulder nine times in a row. The next moment, there was a "rattling" sound inside the boulder, and the next moment, the boulder moved to the side, and a deep passage appeared in front of several people.

"The three Venerables, please enter on your own, and the villain will retire. With that, the servant turned and left the rockery.

The three of them stepped into the passage, and immediately, the boulder behind them closed again, and in this way, the entire passage fell into darkness, but the next moment, the two sides of the passage suddenly lit up. Two rows of magic lamps lit up one by one, from near and far. Suddenly, the entire passage was illuminated.

Walk slowly along the passage, and the whole passage is also inclined downward, that is, this passage is a road to the underground.

"Luo Yun, did you say that the master summoned us here, is there something important? Is the master already planning to do it?" The one who spoke was a young man who was only twenty-three or four years old, with a height of one meter and eight five, and a handsome face, which made people feel that this person was the son of a big family. The occasional evil smile, paired with the long hair behind him, gives people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals.

"Wu Tian, you should understand that there are some things that are best to ask less, and when you see the master, you will know. A resolute middle-aged man said with a slight frown.

"Hehe, know, know, isn't this a curiosity! It's hard to imagine that there is anything other than this operation that requires the dispatch of our three Venerable Beings. Waving his hand, Wu Tian still said unconcernedly.

However, he seemed to know Wu Tian's character very well, and the middle-aged Luo Yun no longer paid attention to him.

"By the way, Andes, aren't you staying in the Leysin Empire? We don't have as much necromancy as you, but if we want to deal with an army of hundreds of thousands, it's not a problem. Wu Tian said to another person on the side.

This is a strange young man wrapped in a black robe, with a pale face and a feeling of malnutrition. In terms of age, it seems to be about the same as Wu Tian, but this young man is not an Oriental, but a little mixed-race, with blue eyes, brown hair, and high cheekbones, but in addition, he is no different from an Oriental.

Snorted lightly, this young man known as Andes didn't seem to buy Wu Tian's account. Also, he was known as the most genius in the organization, but he didn't expect that two years ago, Wu Tian in front of him snatched this title. There is some indignation at the moment, but there is some reason.

"Forget it, when I didn't ask, alas, who let us be the last and most dish-eaten! Being relied on by the old and selling the old, snorting twice, I can only admit it!" smiled indifferently, Wu Tianchao shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and immediately followed behind Luo Yun.

For Wu Tian's words, Andes couldn't help but show a trace of anger, and tightened the magic wand in his hand, but in the end he didn't attack. And Luo Yun, who led the way in front of his head, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he was also a little helpless.

"If this kid is the most dish, then we don't have to mess around. Regarding Wu Tian's arrogance, Luo Yun also sighed in his heart.

Although Wu Tian is indeed the youngest one in terms of age, he is definitely not the most rookie one. Among the eight Venerables, he Wu Tian is the one who is most valued by his master. There is no other reason, because of Wu Tian's strength, he is firmly in the top three of their eight great venerables. Except for the "Scarlet Rose" and the "Sky Sword Venerable", no one can beat him, and even the "Scarlet Rose" Yun Lei and the "Sky Sword Venerable" Qiu Haotian can't suppress him, which is why Wu Tian dares to be so arrogant.

Compared with Wu Tian, Andes, who was originally known as a first-day talent, was far compared. When Wu Tian was still showing his prominence in the organization, Andes was the strongest young man in the entire organization, and his strength was also ranked fourth among the eight great venerables, and with the advantage of a necromancer, he was the sharpest in dealing with large-scale enemies. It was only later that this Wu Tian jumped up like a new star, and with his excellent cultivation talent, he quickly broke through to the peak of the god level, and launched a challenge, and after defeating the eighth Venerable, he was promoted to one of the Eight Venerables by his master. And the original Venerable was sent to the Demon Soul Empire to organize the affairs over there.

Later, Wu Tian completed many tasks brilliantly, and was deeply trusted by his master, and since then, he has soared into the sky and spoken very weightily. However, he didn't think highly of other people, and he didn't suppress other Venerables, and although he occasionally spoke unpleasantly, in general, he didn't really offend people to death.

Moreover, Wu Tian's relationship with his subordinates is very good, his people are very righteous, and he is very protective of his shortcomings, so he is deeply supported by his subordinates within the organization. His lazy and wicked smile also brought his men closer. However, he occasionally likes to play pranks, but he gives the rest of the Venerable a headache.

However, Wu Tian seems to be very unaccustomed to those Westerners within the organization. In his eyes, these blonde and blue-eyed people are like beasts. And a mixed-race person like Andes, Wu Tian despised it even more. Among the eight Venerables, Westerners account for half, but between Wu Tian and this Andes, it is particularly unsightly. Once there is a chance to squeeze the other party, Wu Tian will never let it go.

After a ten-minute journey, the three of them finally came to the end of the passage. Here, again, a boulder blocked the road. However, there is no need for the three of them to knock, and when the three of them approach, the boulder has already moved away, which is very similar to the infrared sensor door. After the boulder was removed, the world behind it was also revealed.

An underground city, in which countless people are busy, men and women, old and young, like an underground kingdom.

The three of them walked through the city boulevard, and during this time, not many people noticed the three of them, and even if they did, they didn't say anything, as if they were just passers-by. After bypassing the bustling areas, I finally stopped in front of a house.

The deserted house doesn't seem to be paid much attention to, and there aren't many people coming and going. There are two stone lions standing at the door, and there is not even a family member.

Entering the house, soon, two girls dressed as maids stepped forward to pick them up. The three of them, led by two maids, walked all the way through and finally came to a room.

There was no sound in the room, and the room was empty, making it difficult to figure out what it was doing. After the three of them entered the empty room, they stood on a bluestone floor in the middle, and then, the floor suddenly made a roar, and the next moment, it sank to the ground.

When I got underground, I passed through a passage again, and suddenly, a huge underground hall appeared in front of me. The light of a magic lamp was shining, and dozens of figures on both sides were lined up, and they were all high-ranking members of the organization.

In the innermost part of the main hall, there is a high seat, separated by a curtain, and a figure sits on it, but the appearance of the figure is not very clear.

The arrival of the three of them also made the members of the organization on both sides pay attention, but the next moment, they turned their heads back.

Andes and Luo Yun lowered their heads and walked into the hall respectfully, but Wu Tian still had a lazy smile and smiled at the members of the surrounding organizations, feeling like a leader inspecting. But obviously, everyone knows Wu Tian very well, so no one pays attention to him.

No one paid attention, but Wu Tian was not annoyed, and still walked to the front of the hall without a face. But when he faced the master behind the curtain, he restrained his laziness. After following Luo Yun and Andes, he saluted, and then walked to the seat next to him and sat down. This is the prerogative of the Eight Venerables, and there is a place to sit.

For the arrival of the three of them, the first middle-aged man couldn't help frowning, especially when Wu Tian came in, the middle-aged man felt a little displeased. As the strongest of the eight Venerables, Qiu Haotian of the "Sky Sword Venerable" is not a free and easy person. At the age of forty-two, although he is not very big among the Venerables, he is very calm. The majesty of a body is obviously something that can only be possessed by staying in a high position for a long time.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. A low and majestic voice came from behind the curtain, which also made the entire hall very quiet.

"This time we have summoned everyone here to launch an operation against the high-level of the major empires on the mainland, and after so many years of dormancy, it is time for us to go out. We will take the entire continent and slay down all the false gods and take their godheads, and you will be able to step into higher levels. The low words said lightly, but after hearing that they were finally going to act, it also made everyone excited.

"Master, why did you choose the Eastern Dragon Empire for this operation. Donglong is located in the easternmost part of the mainland, but it cannot truly unify the entire continent. And strategically, it seems that the Celestial Empire is more suitable as a foothold. If we launch an offensive in the Eastern Dragon Empire now, it is difficult to guarantee that other empires will not notice it, and when they are on guard, it will have an adverse impact on our plans!" Qiu Haotian said bluntly.

"Heh, this is something I've thought about a long time ago. However, the actions of the Eastern Dragon Empire, we don't really need to be exposed, as long as we respond from the sidelines. Having a shield in place, plus a little guy with wolf ambitions, can completely turn everyone's attention away from us. When the time comes, we will secretly manipulate everything, and no one will find out. In this way, the Donglong Empire has become our most stable foundation. When the time comes, there will be a way out against other empires. Do you still have any doubts about this?"

"The subordinates don't dare, but the subordinates understand. Qiu Haotian said respectfully.

Seemingly satisfied with Qiu Haotian's attitude, the master behind the curtain continued: "This time, we will cooperate with the rebel forces of the empire, as long as the top level of the Eastern Dragon Empire is eliminated, everything will finally be in our hands." ”

"Yes!" Qiu Haotian nodded again.

"The five princes of Donglong should have been eliminated, but unfortunately it has not been confirmed, and there is no movement in the Demon Martial Academy, which makes people more concerned. When the time comes, Haotian, you can go and check it. Also, after the operation, I hope you will bring the little girl from the Han family, such a good Ding Furnace can improve the strength of this seat a lot. The master continued.

"Yes. Qiu Haotian replied again.

As if nodding, the master in the high position said again: "Then, assign the task." This operation must be successful. ”
