Chapter 1278: It couldn't have been Zhang Yi's n who did it.
Seeing Liang Yue and Mu Yan return, Zhang Yi had already guessed what they had done.
"How did it go, any new discoveries?"
Liang Yue and Mu Yan didn't hide anything from Zhang Yi, clearly explaining what they had done.
"We disguised ourselves well, they won't discover our identities."
Both Liang Yue and Mu Yan were currently at the squad leader level, and Liang Yue's strength had even reached an extrely high standard within the Delta-level.
However, they still weren't very famous.
Furthermore, in the distant Southwest Region, who would bother investigating two re squad leader-level superhumans.
Plus, she held back her true strength, so no one could discover she was that Xuan Nü by Zhang Yi's side.
Zhang Yi was indifferent to this, rely asking lightly, "Any gains? You ntioned the resistance army, did you make contact with them?"
Liang Yue then recounted her contact with Drolma.
Zhang Yi tapped the armrest beside him, images of the four Epsilons who appeared there today surfacing in his mind.
And just coincidentally, right when the five of them gathered at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, the resistance army ca to attack the Pagyi Family.
If this was called a coincidence, it was just too much of a coincidence.
Therefore, excluding the Lord of the Charnel Ground, among the remaining three people, one should be cooperating with the resistance army.
Zhang Yi crossed his arms and sank into contemplation.
Liang Yue looked at Zhang Yi and hesitated for a mont before asking, "Zhang Yi, will you bla ?"
"Bla you? Why would I bla you."
Zhang Yi gave a faint smile, "You did very well. Now, we have another channel for communication with the resistance army. It might co in handy soday!"
Liang Yue had once served as a bodyguard in a special position, undergoing professional training, her skills no less than a spy's.
If she said her identity wouldn't be exposed, then it definitely wouldn't be exposed.
And even if she were truly exposed, Pagyi Gesang couldn't possibly turn against him over such a small matter.
"But, I see your expression isn't very good."
Liang Yue said so.
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, "My frown isn't because I resent you, but rather... I'm considering how to maximize my benefits from this operation."
"The Lord of the Charnel Ground's strength is extrely formidable, I personally witnessed his terror. That wasn't sothing an ordinary superhuman could possess, it was too unbelievable. Even I am not confident I could defeat him."
The empowernt of the esoteric sect's power was awe-inspiring.
He personally saw the Lord of the Charnel Ground use his own body as a conduit, absorbing the power of the five Epsilons and directing it towards the Demon Kingdom Gate.
At that ti, his body was blasted to pieces, flesh torn and bloody, bones starkly visible.
But under the empowernt of the esoteric sect's power, his body actually rapidly reford.
And at that ti, it was only by joining forces with the other two mysterious Epsilons that they could barely gain the upper hand.
If the Demon Kingdom Gate were truly opened, with the Lord of the Charnel Ground holding the advantages of timing, location, and popular support, by that ti, could Zhang Yi still gain any advantage from him?
Zhang Yi closed his eyes, sinking into deep thought.
The Lord of the Charnel Ground was the biggest problem he currently needed to face.
And the strength of the other two individuals also seed to be no less than his.
This trip wasn't going to be so easy to reap benefits.
...
Chodak was easily defeated by Liang Yue, but Liang Yue didn't take his life.
As a reinforcent-type superhuman, such non-fatal injuries could heal very quickly.
However, being defeated on the Pagyi Family's territory, and watching helplessly as the resistance army caused massive destruction, filled Chodak's heart with imnse humiliation.
Not long after, he knelt before Pagyi Gesang's large bed, his head pressed tightly against the floor.
"Chief Pagyi, this subordinate is incompetent, I let those resistance army mbers escape."
Pagyi Gesang's massive body sat on the bed, with his imposing personal guard, Suolang Deji, standing beside him.
Suolang Deji coldly stared at Chodak below, and upon hearing his report, angrily rebuked:
"You useless waste! You actually let the resistance army escape on the Pagyi Family's territory. Could it be that the person who ca was the Snow Mountain Divine Eagle?"
The Snow Mountain Divine Eagle, the soul of the resistance army, was also the first person to rise up against the rule of the chieftains.
Without his existence, the resistance army simply wouldn't have the strength to survive until now, they would have been exterminated by the Four Great Families long ago.
Pagyi Gesang didn't say a single word, his eyes devoid of any emotion, he even had the mood to extend a pinky finger as thick as a carrot to pick at his ear.
Chodak swallowed hard and hurriedly explained, "Originally, those guys were no match for us. But just as I was about to capture the resistance army cadre Drolma, a woman dressed entirely in black combat suits suddenly appeared."
"That woman's attire was very advanced, definitely not a mber of the resistance army. Her strength surpassed mine, with just one strike she almost pierced through my chest!"
These words caught the attention of Pagyi Gesang and Suolang Deji.
"An outsider?"
If the scope was enlarged to this level, then things beca sowhat complicated.
In recent years, everyone knew the Yasha Langtai Family intended to annex the other three families.
So each family had been secretly recruiting and building up their forces.
Their Pagyi Family was no exception, and the other families had done plenty of this as well.
The identities of outsiders were difficult to verify, so it was impossible to figure out who was behind it.
At this mont, however, Chodak tentatively raised his head and voiced his own speculation.
"We had only been at the battlefield for about ten minutes when that mysterious person made a move, and she also had accomplices."
"So..."
He deliberately only said half of his sentence, the remaining part didn't need to be spoken, everyone understood he was hinting that the person who acted ca from within the Pagyi Family's territory.
A cold glint flashed in Pagyi Gesang's eyes. Only in front of Zhang Yi did he appear as a jovial, fat fool.
But in front of others, he was that cold, ruthless overlord.
"Are you saying they are the people I invited?"
Chodak bowed his head and said, "I rember, among the four people who ca today, there was a woman. Judging by her physique, it does seem sowhat similar."
Pagyi Gesang suddenly laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! Chodak, what nonsense are you spouting."
His laughter stopped abruptly, and he said coldly to Chodak, "Don't ntion this again, and don't speak of it to anyone!"
Chodak didn't dare to refute, but he was greatly puzzled in his heart, not understanding why Pagyi Gesang would shield those rcenaries so much.
Only Suolang Deji understood.
If Zhang Yi truly wanted to do sothing to the Pagyi Family, well, to put it bluntly, he alone could slaughter every single person in the Pagyi Family in one night.
"Withdraw! Investigate this matter more carefully with the people you send, and also, increase patrols daily, don't make the sa mistake again!"
Losing so serfs and a few won wasn't a big deal to Pagyi Gesang.
He certainly wouldn't believe that a top-tier powerhouse from the Jiangnan Region would be so bored as to co here and play the role of a do-gooder.
He had also collected so personal information on Zhang Yi.
That was a terrifying god of slaughter who, in the early days of the apocalypse, single-handedly killed over a thousand people in an entire residential complex!
He traveled all the way to the Snowy Plateau Region just to be a good person and save a few serfs who had no relation to him?
Pagyi Gesang found it laughable and naturally wouldn't take it seriously.
