"Oh? Mission?"

Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow, suddenly looking towards Kong Daorong, then quickly sweeping his gaze across the other members of the noble families in the tent, and asked:

"General, why was I chosen for this mission? I've just successfully completed a Blood Exchange, there are plenty of experts in the camp. This mission surely doesn't fall to me, does it? General, please understand, it's not that I fear death; I am just worried that if I screw up the mission, it would be a great offense."

"Jiang Right Envoy, I know you have always been a hard mouth, and quite slippery; now it seems it is indeed so."

Kong Daorong's expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes emanating a frosty gaze, he said:

"How a mission is arranged is for me to decide. As a dignified general, my assignments naturally consider everyone's circumstances. Now you question me and your colleagues; do you know what offense this is?"

"General, everyone says this Right Envoy of the Black Lotus Holy Sect is a thorn, and today it's indeed proven true!"

The Blood Exchange expert from the Blood Exchange Sect nearby sneered as he spoke.

He knew he had already offended Jiang Shi to the point of no return.

Now, he could only go down this road to the end, cooperating with Kong Daorong, thoroughly cornering Jiang Shi into death.

"Brother Jiang, General Kong's orders are logical; it's best not to question them."

"Indeed, the Kun Camp has just been established; discipline must be enforced strictly, with no questioning of the general allowed. Little Brother Jiang, you've gone too far."

"Yes, right now you should immediately apologize to the general and seek leniency!"

Everyone began to speak, one after another, endlessly echoing.

I seek your mother x!

Jiang Shi felt cold inside.

"If that's the case, then I am willing to accept the order."

He raised his hands respectfully, his face showing neither joy nor sadness, with no hint of expression visible.

"Jiang Shi, remember, your questioning of me today is an offense. I could rightfully imprison you for disobedience, but now, I am willing to overlook this only out of consideration for your colleagues. You'd better cherish this chance, don't be ungrateful!"

Kong Daorong's tone was cold, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Shi.

"Yes, General."

Jiang Shi clasped his hands.

"Get out."

Kong Daorong spoke coldly, turning his head away, not giving Jiang Shi another look.

As if sparing another look was beneath his dignity.

Jiang Shi forced a smile, directly turning around and leaving, disappearing from the place.

Kong Daorong slowly turned back, once again gazing toward the departing figure of Jiang Shi, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

Too forbearing!

This boy's character is more terrifying than he imagined!

···

In the distance, Jiang Shi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart after several attempts, unable to resist once more looking back at the tent, feeling a deep gloom, and directly striding away.

"Jiang Right Envoy, how did it go?"

Wind King and Rain King quickly approached and asked.

"Kong Daorong wants me to single-handedly infiltrate and figure out what Meng Fang is up to. The old thing wants to use the Yiyuan Alliance to get rid of me."

Jiang Shi's tone was cold, looking at Wind King and Rain King, he said, "I don't plan to stay with these Four Great Alliances; I'll leave tonight, taking everyone, and fully pledge allegiance to the Yiyuan Alliance."

"Pledge allegiance to Yiyuan Alliance?"

Wind King and Rain King's expressions shifted, gasping softly.

"There's no other way but this path unless we wait for the Sect Leader to return."

Jiang Shi murmured, thinking carefully, he said, "How about this, if you don't want to pledge allegiance, come with me tonight, we'll hide in the woods for a few days, wait for the Sect Leader and Alliance Leader to return, maybe the situation will change."

However, it could also worsen.

In any case, Jiang Shi does not want to entrust his life and death to others.

He must have his own escape plan.

Not only does he need to leave, but these people also must leave. Otherwise, with Kong Daorong's ruthlessness, he will surely kill everyone and accuse them of colluding with the enemy.

Wind King and Rain King's expressions kept changing, quickly weighing their options.

"Alright, let's hide for now."

"If we pledge allegiance to Yiyuan Alliance, it means offending the Four Great Alliances simultaneously. It was hard enough to unite them; they won't tolerate a traitor. So pledging allegiance is unwise!"

The two whispered.

Even if they pledge allegiance, the Yiyuan Alliance may not trust them, in which case they'll end up in a dire situation.

If Yiyuan Alliance used them as pawns, their position would be even worse.

"Hmm, notify everyone, and let's move tonight."

Jiang Shi murmured.

Wind King and Rain King nodded gently and immediately went to make arrangements.

Fortunately, those who came over this time are adept within the sect, ensuring quiet at night, unlikely to be discovered.

Jiang Shi walked to a distant spot, taking a slow, deep breath to continue relieving the pressure in his heart, his eyes becoming deep and terrifying, radiating an indescribable aura.

···

The afternoon quickly passed,

as the sun set in the west.

The entire forest turned pitch black.

All the experts from the Black Lotus Holy Sect began to move quickly, hurrying towards the distance.

Jiang Shi expressionlessly stood at the rear, covering the retreat.

Suddenly his eyes widened, he turned back sharply, his body shooting forward like a flash, swiftly rushing toward a dim corner.

Only to see in the dark corner, a figure hidden there, looking their way.

Seeing Jiang Shi rush forward, the person's face changed, without thinking, they turned to leave.

But their speed was too slow.

In less than 0.1 second, Jiang Shi had instantly appeared behind them.
