The first two sentences were Zhao Xing adjusting his voice. By the third sentence, his deanor, tone, and pitch all beca exactly like Xu Ba’s.
Even the peculiar softness inherent to magicians was fully imitated.
"So alike, too alike!"
Long Xiao exclaid.
"Did he always do this kind of thing before?" Yu Ziqi looked at Chen Shijie in astonishnt.
"No, at least I’ve never seen it." Chen Shijie shook his head.
"Then how is he so skilled at it?"
"Maybe he learned it in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven."
"Tis have truly changed. The current Military Minister of Agriculture Officers are even trained in these skills..."
Yu Ziqi sighed.
Chen Shijie wholeheartedly agreed.
...
What followed was the smooth dispatch of Warlock Commander Rah and Power Warrior Commander Huo Wei.
Among them, Old Chen played Rah and Yu Ziqi played Huo Wei.
The four soul-binding grass n remained in their original caves, both to prevent the life souls from being discovered and to have a fallback plan that might co in handy.
Even if they were discovered, Zhao Xing could know when it happened.
Just as Chen Shijie and the others thought they would pass smoothly, so issues arose during the shift change.
The four commanders who ca to take over didn’t notice anything, but during the handover, Long Xiao’s communication token for Luo Ba rang.
"Luo Ba, Guardian Liu’s communication, why aren’t you answering?" one Power Warrior Commander casually said, "Why are you just standing there?"
"My throat, cough, feels a bit uncomfortable." Long Xiao seed a bit unnatural.
Zhao Xing had inford him about Luo Ba’s recent mories, but although he knew who Guardian Liu was, his language skills were lacking.
Chatting would surely expose him.
"Hahaha, you better attend well to Guardian Liu today. He wasn’t pleased with the place you took him last ti."
"Let’s go, Luo Ba. Find a good place, and rember to tell the brothers when you return."
Long Xiao forced a smile, pretending to pick up the token and answer the call.
Seeing the four incoming commanders walk away.
Zhao Xing snatched the token from Long Xiao’s hand and answered the call.
The Southern Barbarians’ communication tokens also imitated the Great Zhou’s Sound Transmission Orders.
"Buzz~"
As the token connected, a cold voice ca through.
"Luo Ba, why did it take you so long to answer?"
"I, I hic~ just woke up."
There was a pause, then a sneer: "Just woke up? I bet you’ve been drinking. How many tis have I told you not to drink during working hours? Drink after you’re off. Now there are enemy troops watching outside Fire Dragon Pass, don’t harm !"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Xing nodded and bowed.
"The enemy troops retreated the day before yesterday. You can relax a bit today. Wait for at the usual place."
"Yes."
After hanging up the call, Long Xiao let out a long breath.
It seed they had gotten through it.
"We need to increase our speed." Zhao Xing said in a low voice after ending the call, "Luo Ba has to et his contact for so fun."
"I can bluff over the token, but if it’s face-to-face, we won’t be able to hide it."
Chen Shijie nodded: "Hmm, that Guardian Liu is familiar with the Great Zhou. We mustn’t et him."
The intelligence from the Military Realm about Fire Dragon Pass ntioned so key figures.
Those who could take on Great Zhou surnas and important positions were mostly from large clans and knew Great Zhou very well.
"Let’s go quickly. Once we pass this hurdle, infiltrating the underground magma river plantation area will be easier."
...
In Fire Dragon City, inside a stone house.
"Creak~"
A minotaur opened the door and walked in.
He glanced outside twice before heading to the underground passage within the stone house.
The underground space was about a hundred square ters.
At this ti, two Fire Demon Clan mbers were warily watching above. Upon seeing only the minotaur co down, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"It’s ." the minotaur said in a deep voice, "No one followed."
The two Fire Demon Clan mbers imdiately touched their earlobes and reverted to their original forms.
If Zhao Xing were here, he would be shocked because these two were Xia Jing and Guan Junyang!
Xia Jing stood up: "Brother Ye, what’s the situation?"
The minotaur nodded: "The place the princely heir wants to enter is heavily guarded, but I’ve been working on transferring to patrol there."
"Princely heir can follow later and gain entry."
"My rank is not high. I can get you in, but if sothing goes wrong, I won’t be able to get you out. So you must be very careful and not expose yourself."
Xia Jing solemnly said: "Brother Ye, rest assured. If anything happens, prioritize your own safety. You can even turn your blade on and Junyang if necessary."
The minotaur quickly said: "Princely heir, don’t say that. I, Ye Chongxian, have been following the Marquis’ orders to stay undercover here for ten years, all for today. I have already put my life aside, my only fear is failing the mission and delaying your important matters."
