The Ancient Gods' Whisper

Tang Ling snorted coldly, "I work for them. I've never considered myself one of the Sword Tomb people."

Gu Jianlin roughly understood.

It turns out her icy demeanor was just a facade, or cultivated in the unique environment of the Sword Tomb. This is her true self, full of blood, flesh, desires, needs, and able to complain.

"But there's no time today. After Director Li was killed, The Order of the Hidden will respond."

He took out the Soul Comforting Bell: "We need to strike while the iron is hot, quickly interrogate and catch them off guard."

Tang Ling's expression turned slightly stern as she parked the car by the roadside.

Gu Jianlin infused spirituality into the Soul Comforting Bell, releasing a black halo.

A fragmented soul emerged.

Director Li.

Tang Ling assessed that his Mythical Weapon turned out to be the Soul Comforting Bell, no wonder there's no need to leave anyone alive.

"Which organization are you working for?"

Gu Jianlin looked at the fragmented soul and calmly asked, "The organization you're most loyal to."

Director Li responded woodenly, "The Order of the Hidden."

Good!

Found the right person!

Gu Jianlin further inquired, "Do you know Jing Shangxiu, also of The Order of the Hidden?"

Director Li answered, "I don't know. The Order of the Hidden has countless intelligence lines, which do not interfere with each other."

Tang Ling rubbed her chin and remarked, "Indeed, very cautious."

Gu Jianlin frowned and asked, "Then who instructed you to design against me at the Black Cloud City base?"

Director Li truthfully confessed, "My superior, but I've never met him. Each time we meet at different locations, he sends someone to inform me specially. This time, my instructions were to find a way to conflict with you and leave a Spiritual Imprint on you in the process."

"To further trigger the curse effect, driving you insane, and losing your reason."

He paused: "Finally, under our control!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Tang Ling's beautiful eyes: "Is this how The Order of the Hidden controls others?"

Gu Jianlin also probed, "What is the name of this method?"

Director Li was momentarily dazed: "Specifically, I'm not sure. I unknowingly saw a document during exchanges with my superior. It's a product combining modern technology with ancient civilization, scientifically called Mental Deformation Induction Disorder, controlled through a hidden curse and multiple Spiritual Imprints."

"The ultimate effect of this curse ceremony is called... Oath of Loyalty."

He said, "All cursed individuals, after experiencing madness, will pledge an Oath of Loyalty to one person."

This sounds somewhat terrifying.

Gu Jianlin coldly looked at him, "So you don't know who that final person is either."

Tang Ling snorted coldly, "If he knew, he wouldn't just be a pawn."

Director Li shook his head, "I truly don't know."

We have to admit today's gains have been significant.

However, Tang Ling was not satisfied.

Nor would Gu Jianlin be, as he probed further, "What about those totems on your body?"

Director Li said, "This is the Penglai Ascension Array. The Order of the Hidden found the legacy left by Xu Fu in the Qilin Immortal Palace and discovered this bloody Sacrificial Array. Its effect can grant power akin to ascension by sacrificing offerings. Every member of The Order of the Hidden gains offerings based on their contributions."

He said, "My rank is five, so I got five offerings."

Gu Jianlin and Tang Ling exchanged a glance.

"What are the offerings?"

Actually, there's no need to ask, they had already guessed.

Child Boy and Girl!

The strange totems of the Child Boy and Girl appeared on Director Li's body!

"Where did you obtain this power?"

Gu Jianlin asked coldly.

Tang Ling roughly understood his meaning and started the vehicle again.

Director Li answered, "The Bren Hill, a yacht hovering in the East Sea, owned by the You Ying Group. The Order of the Hidden has a secret base there."

The Lamborghini fell into silence.

The situation now was clear.

Since there is a secret base of The Order of the Hidden on the Bren Hill.

When The Order of the Hidden realizes Director Li's death, they will definitely send someone to clear that base.

This is a rare opportunity.

"You Ying Group?"

Tang Ling murmured, "This is troublesome. With our identities, it's not easy to enter."

Gu Jianlin's expression was peculiar, "Not necessarily."

He fumbled something from his pocket and took out a Golden Card.

Tang Ling was taken aback, "Mr. Liu's Golden Card? Where did you get that?"

Gu Jianlin stated calmly, "Got it along with the West Port incident last time."
