Chapter 93 The Captain of the Forbidden City Army
Chapter 93 The Captain of the Forbidden City Army
Wu Ku waited here for a long time but didn't see Su Ming. Instead, he encountered a group of lone Forbidden Army mages.
After subduing these people, Wu Ku learned that the Forbidden Army had dispatched a high-ranking official to arrest him, but they were separated due to the Helan Mountains and could not reunite.
Now, everyone in the Helan Mountains is completely in the dark and can't see anything, not even Wu Ku.
He came out of there, unaware of what was happening outside.
Now it seems...
"There's a spatial distortion in Helan Mountain," Wu Ku remarked with slight emotion.
Normally, he should be able to wait for Jiang Shaoqing where he appears. Although he is seriously injured, it is not serious. He must have some kind of medical supplies, but it will take a long time.
He will definitely come over once he recovers. The fact that these Forbidden Army soldiers have never seen Jiang Shaoqing means there's something wrong here.
When he walked out, the disorienting space transported him to another place.
It's a bit strange, but it's not a big deal. As long as the location is correct when we go back, that's fine.
As for Jiuying, he had already made concessions and was prepared to kill Su Ming, but Helan Mountain was uncooperative and sent him to some unknown place.
"Who is your battalion commander again?" Wu Ku asked.
However, the Forbidden City Army is very tight-lipped; although they are only high-ranking officers, as soldiers, they cannot say anything.
If Wu Ku knew who the captain was, he would definitely make preparations in advance, which would mean the captain might suffer when he encounters Wu Ku.
"Aren't you going to talk?" Wu Ku didn't seem to care.
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess who you're talking about. There are many powerful people in the Forbidden City's military, but they are all very busy. There are only a few who are free."
Wu Ku held up one finger: "The first one is Jiang Shaotian, who's nominally affiliated with the Forbidden Army. I heard he's been quite free lately, so it might be him."
"The second one is Jiang Shaoli, the eldest of the three generations of the Jiang family. He is very fast and very strong, and he may come over."
"The third one is Hua Xiao, the commander of the Imperial Guard. She could be one of them. As for the others..."
Wu smiled wryly and said confidently, "I'm not bragging, but those few are still a bit lacking. Your commander would definitely not send them to be the battalion commanders."
Wu Ku's words instantly changed the expressions of several members of the Forbidden City Army.
He was utterly shocked, wondering why Wu Ku knew so much about the powerful, unemployed mages in the Forbidden Army.
Could there be members of the Black Vatican within the Forbidden City Army?
The thought sent chills down their spines. They found it hard to believe. That was the Forbidden City Army, the Central Military Region. Had even this supposedly most elite military region in the country been infiltrated?
Moreover, the person who can obtain this intelligence on leaders must be of high status and definitely a big shot.
The thought that a high-ranking figure in the Forbidden Army was a member of the Black Vatican is terrifying.
"Looks like I guessed right, it's one of the three people. So who could it be?" Wu smiled wryly.
He didn't care. He would die if any of those three came; they were too powerful for him to handle. However, he could avoid encountering them and just be more obedient.
but……
Suddenly, an idea popped into Wu Ku's mind: perhaps he could use this captain to kill Jiu Ying.
Just because I can't do it doesn't mean the Forbidden Army can't. Those few people are all among the top ten Saint-level mages in the country. Of course, that's just the ones on the surface. There might be even more powerful ones in secret.
If it gets to Jiuying.
The Nine-Headed Serpent is far more tempting than Wu Ku.
"I'll leave something for you." Wu Ku condensed a small water droplet and handed it to one of the people.
"This thing can locate me. You can give it to your captain. Whether he wants to come over or not depends on whether he's willing."
Wu Kusong released the restraints on several people, then turned and went inside.
Although he was completely in the dark in Helan Mountain, this water droplet was something he had painstakingly condensed. There were only two of them; the adult had one, and this was the other.
It's dangerous to hand over this water droplet, but it's different compared to the Nine-Headed Serpent. The Nine-Headed Serpent is clearly more dangerous. As for this water droplet, it's not that it can't be destroyed.
The one on the adult's side is the mother bead; if you destroy that one, this one will naturally become useless.
If this water droplet can eliminate the major hidden danger of the Nine-Headed Serpent, it would undoubtedly be a win.
Those few Imperial Guard soldiers were no big deal; we let them go.
"What should we do?" Several people huddled together, surrounding the water droplet.
"I suspect this is a trap. How could Wu Ku possibly let me know his location so easily? This is definitely a conspiracy, and it's very likely set up for the captain."
"I also find it a bit strange, but this water droplet can indeed sense Wu Ku's location." This person felt it for a moment, and then passed it on to the others. Each of them tried it and could sense Wu Ku's location.
This is quite intriguing. Finding Wu Ku's water droplets is incredibly valuable, but the fact that the other party handed them over indicates they were prepared. If you go there, you might encounter a deadly trap.
"My suggestion is to hand it over to the battalion commander and let him make the final judgment."
"Agreed, it should indeed be handed over to the battalion commander; we're not qualified yet."
"I second that..."
The group quickly agreed, and then, using this place as a starting point, they began to spread outwards in an orderly manner, aiming to find the captain as soon as possible.
Although they are scattered, the general direction has not changed. As long as you are patient, you can still find them.
Moreover, there are many hunters now, and perhaps someone knows the captain's whereabouts.
There were no demons here, and they moved very quickly. After learning about the movements of the other Forbidden Army soldiers from several hunters, they quickly gathered together.
However, this is only a part; the majority are still missing. They may have gathered together beforehand and split into many groups.
A few days later, the Forbidden City Army finally found the captain.
He handed the water droplet to the captain.
"Captain, I think we can go. There are so many of us, and there are no demon tribes in Helan Mountain. We don't need to be afraid of Wu Ku at all. Even if there are Black Vatican ambushes, we don't need to worry. We can wipe them out completely," the vice-captain said at this moment.
"Did I say I wasn't going?" the captain said calmly. Of course he was going; there was no way he wouldn't go.
Wu Kudu left this thing behind, so it would be incredibly rude of them not to go.
"However... getting inside is a hassle," the captain muttered.
Helan Mountain has restrictions; anyone who wants to enter must possess powerful cultivation, otherwise they can only circle in place, and it is almost impossible to bring others in.
A few highly skilled individuals were selected, and the captain led them into the interior of Helan Mountain with water droplets, while the others had to stay behind.
Even if they are all high-level mages, it's the same.
