1303 The Twelve Guards Gather!

After yesterday’s conversation, everyone acted according to Jian Ai’s instructions. The first thing was to contact the people Jian Ai instructed to contact.

On the mercenary group’s side, Eugene and Robert were the first to arrive. Gale and Louise, who were in charge of the investigation, could not escape for the time being because the two of them had to keep a close eye on the other party’s movements. Therefore, they could only meet up with everyone when the operation started.

On Bai Zhou’s side, he activated everyone the ancient sect could use and contacted the remaining few guards.

As members of the ancient sect, and with Jian Ai’s orders, all the people who were contacted responded.

In just two days, everyone rushed to Baiyun City in China.

When Jian Ai appeared in Bai Zhou’s apartment again, three people were kneeling in front of her.

“I’m ranked fourth among the twelve guards of the ancient sect. I’m The Space and Time Controller, Ming Zui. Greetings, Sect Master!”

Ming Zui was from Country Z. He was about twenty-five years old and had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a heroic aura. He had the appearance of a standard Asian man.

Moreover, he had the power of space and time, one of the five great abilities of the ancient sect. Although he was ranked fourth, according to Bai Zhou, this person was very powerful and was comparable to Chi Lian, who was ranked third.

“I’m ranked eighth among the twelve guards of the ancient sect. I’m the Flower Speaker, Luan Qingyang. Greetings, Sect Master!”

Luan Qingyang and Ming Zui were two completely different people. Luan Qingyang was born in Northern Europe and looked the most special among the twelve guards. He had golden hair and amber eyes. Because he liked Asian culture, he gave himself a very refined name, Luan Qingyang.

He was extremely handsome and had a graceful bearing. It complemented his name.

The last person was a Japanese person. He was dressed in an orthodox black Chinese tunic suit and looked much older than the others. He was at least in his forties.

This person was strict, and his expression was exceptionally cold and determined. However, he still appeared respectful to Jian Ai. “I’m ranked ninth among the twelve guards of the ancient sect. I’m The Pen of Calming Souls Duo!”

That’s right. His name was only one word, and it had the meaning of falling into hell!

Duo’s ability was extremely special. It was a dark attribute ability like Zhi Tong, who was ranked tenth. Especially since he was already in his forties and had cultivated for longer than others, his strength could not be underestimated.

Jian Ai looked at the three people in front of her. For some reason, she could not hide her excitement.

At this moment, ten of the twelve guards under the ancient sect had already gathered in this room.

“Everyone, stand up and talk. There’s no need to be too polite!” Jian Ai calmed herself down as she talked.

Everyone stood up one after another. At this moment, Bai Zhou leaned forward and whispered, “Sect Master, Ye Liushang can’t rush over immediately, but I’ve already relayed the situation to him. What he means is that the Sect Master can directly assign the strongest person on the enemy’s side for him to resolve. When the time comes, he can attack directly and not meet us!”

Jian Ai nodded.

She believed that Ye Liushang, as the strongest among the twelve guards, could say this. When the two sides fought, the strongest person on the enemy’s side should be handed over to the strongest person on her side.

“Where’s the twelfth?” Only then did Jian Ai realize that other than Ye Liushang, the person ranked twelve was not around.

When Jian Ai suddenly mentioned the twelfth, everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Bai Zhou looked at everyone and said to Jian Ai, “The twelfth. He can’t come. Please forgive him, Sect Master.”

Jian Ai could tell that when she mentioned the twelfth, the others’ reactions were not right, especially Bai Zhou!

Usually, when Bai Zhou reported things to her, he would tell her the results directly. However, for this question only, he told her that the twelfth could not come. He did not even tell her why he could not come.

Jian Ai frowned and looked at Bai Zhou. “What’s going on? Are you hiding something from me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ai couldn’t help but think of the night she first saw Bai Zhou. She had once asked about the twelfth. At that time, Bai Zhou seemed to have something difficult to say and avoided answering her question.

Back then, the ancient sect’s matter shocked her, so she did not think too much about it. However, now, she already saw herself as the sect master of the ancient sect. This concerned the twelfth, so she could not be fooled like before.

“Sect Master, I’ll tell you about the twelfth in the future,” Bai Zhou said awkwardly. “Now is not the right time.”

Seeing Bai Zhou like this, Jian Ai’s heart instinctively thumped, and an ominous premonition arose.

“Something happened to the twelfth? Has he already…” Jian Ai stopped mid-sentence, but her thoughts shocked her.

Fortunately, Bai Zhou quickly denied her words. “He is still alive. Sect Master, don’t worry. However, many things happened to him. When the time is ripe in the future, I’ll tell you everything.”

Bai Zhou tried his best to hide it. Although Jian Ai was puzzled, she understood his difficulties.

If there was no other reason, Jian Ai believed that Bai Zhou would have told her.

Fortunately, he was still alive. It was good that it was not what she thought.

“I understand. I won’t ask!” Jian Ai sighed and relented.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yu Wuyuan changed the topic. “As one of the twelve guards of the ancient sect, this is the first time we’ve met. We should talk nicely, but we’re all here under orders now. I believe everyone knows the situation. We still have to discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible.”

“It’s not too late to catch up and talk after we’ve settled serious business,” Yun Buyao said with a smile.

Everyone nodded. Jian Ai looked at Chi Yang and instructed, “Chi Yang, call Irene and the rest downstairs. Since we’re going to act together, let’s discuss it together.”

“Yes, Sect Master!” Chi Yang nodded and turned around to leave quickly.

Not long after, Irene and the rest arrived at Bai Zhou’s apartment. The sudden appearance of a few more people from the ancient sect shocked them.

During this period, the two sides had long turned from enemies to friends, especially Irene and Andrew, who had been living in Bai Zhou’s building. They interacted with them almost every day and learned some things about the ancient sect.

Although it was difficult to explain what had happened in ancient China to Irene and the rest, in their understanding, they treated the ancient sect as an organization like a mercenary group.

It was not wrong to say that ancient sects did not differ from current organizations.

However, what shocked Irene and the rest was that there were so many ability users in the ancient sect that they did not know about.
