"Ye Ling?"
Upon hearing Lei Luo's words, Bai Xiaosheng frowned, a shadow flashing in his eyes.
Ye Ling was now showing signs of becoming the number one enemy of Hong Chen Ge.
Recently, the losses suffered by Hong Chen Ge were basically all related to Ye Ling.
The higher-ups of Hong Chen Ge were now gnashing their teeth at Ye Ling, wishing they could flay and devour him alive.
Bai Xiaosheng had a certain status in Hong Chen Ge, so he naturally knew how strong Ye Ling was.
Therefore, upon learning that it was Ye Ling who had destroyed the Tongtian Tower here, Bai Xiaosheng was not surprised at all.
Moreover, Ye Ling had a previous record of destroying their Hong Chen Ge branches and Tongtian Towers. Now that Lei Luo was shifting the blame to Ye Ling, Bai Xiaosheng had no doubt about the truth of Lei Luo's words.
To be honest, besides Ye Ling, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't find anyone else in China who dared to oppose Hong Chen Ge in this manner.
Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng did not question him further, Lei Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to add fuel to the fire: "My lord, that scoundrel Ye Ling is simply too arrogant. Not only has he destroyed our Hong Chen Ge Hua Guo branch twice, but he has now pursued us to this research branch. Should we really let him continue to be so嚣张?"
"I believe we should retaliate immediately and let that guy know the consequences of provoking our Hong Chen Ge!"
Ye Ling, standing in the shadows, looked at Lei Luo speechlessly, unsure how to describe his feelings.
He thought that everything would be fine after he had thoroughly erased Lei Luo's memory, but he didn't expect Lei Luo to randomly shift the blame and actually manage to pin this black pot on him!
Although Ye Ling was not afraid of Hong Chen Ge targeting him, his purpose in clearing the blame here was to solidify his identity as Kong Xu Han. However, now that Bai Xiaosheng had inadvertently learned of his presence in this research branch...
It was likely that everyone in this research branch would be suspected by Bai Xiaosheng.
And he, impersonating Kong Xu Han, as an outsider in this research branch, would definitely be a key target of suspicion for Hong Chen Ge.
Now, it would be extremely difficult for him to infiltrate the Hong Chen Ge headquarters using Kong Xu Han's identity.
Ye Ling had been considering whether to abandon the identity of Kong Xu Han. Now, it was even better; Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Luo had already made the choice for him.
Since he had decided to abandon the Kong Xu Han card, Ye Ling's next consideration was how to deal with this Hong Chen Ge research branch.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng also had a grim expression, seemingly contemplating his next move.
If it was Ye Ling who destroyed the Tongtian Tower, then it would be impossible for them to capture the culprit, and the Source Spirit was likely also destroyed by Ye Ling, making it impossible to retrieve.
One less Tongtian Tower could be rebuilt.
However, the Source Spirit was the core energy of the Tongtian Array. Once the core energy was missing, the entire array could not operate smoothly!
Only the Source Spirit that Ye Ling took was in the entire Hong Chen Ge. Now, to obtain the core energy again, they had to go to the ancient ruins overseas to retrieve another one.
However, the ancient ruins overseas in Hu City were an isolated island. Only during a solar eclipse would a passage appear around the distorted space of the ancient ruins, making it visible.
It had been fifty years since Hong Chen Ge last entered the ancient ruins overseas on a large scale.
At that time, Hong Chen Ge was led by Ye Feng, with over a thousand people, including many cultivators of the seventh and eighth ranks.
However, only ten people returned alive from the ancient ruins.
They had only managed to bring out one Source Spirit.
With a team of over a thousand cultivators, led by Ye Feng, only ten people returned, which showed the extreme danger of the ancient ruins.
Precisely because the ancient ruins were too dangerous, Hong Chen Ge had not sent large troops into the ancient ruins overseas during recent solar eclipses. Each time, only a few small teams were sent, but none of those who went returned alive.
Because of this, the mission to investigate the ancient ruins overseas was, in the eyes of Hong Chen Ge cultivators, a one-way ticket to hell.
This time, if Hong Chen Ge could not bring out the core energy as soon as possible after losing the Source Spirit, the Tongtian Array would be delayed, and all Tongtian Towers worldwide would be scrapped!
Such immense losses were unbearable for Hong Chen Ge.
Therefore, they had to go to the ancient ruins overseas again, and they had to send a large-scale force!
He, Bai Xiaosheng, could not escape either!
Bai Xiaosheng realized that the matter was somewhat tricky, and his mood became even more solemn.
He did not want to go to his death.
However, he could not contact Ye Feng at the moment, and all matters would have to wait until he met Ye Feng in the middle of the month before Ye Feng could formulate various plans. Da Feng Novel Network.
After thinking about the solution for the Tongtian Tower, Bai Xiaosheng instructed Ye Yi again: "The research branch will execute the highest alert. Everyone will return to their rooms and wait to be investigated!"
"Ye Ling cannot possibly find this place suddenly. There must be a traitor within this branch who leaked the secrets here!"
Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's words, Ye Yi's heart tightened and she quickly said, "My lord, I..."
The moment Bai Xiaosheng uttered these words, Ye Yi realized that Kong Xu Han had a problem.
Ever since she met Kong Xu Han at the auction at Jin Feng Hotel, the Sun family and their research branch had suffered consecutive incidents, and those incidents were all related to Kong Xu Han.
Things couldn't be such a coincidence!
Moreover, Ye Yi knew in her heart that Lei Luo was here to kill her!
Back then, in the alley, it was Kong Xu Han's蛊虫 that helped her resolve the crisis. If Lei Luo did not succeed, he would definitely come to the research branch and eliminate her while she was still injured.
At that time, she was undergoing treatment in the medical pod, and Lei Luo would most likely find Kong Xu Han first...
But now Lei Luo was lying here unconscious, even babbling that he was chasing Ye Ling and was eventually knocked out by Ye Ling...
She had also heard of Ye Ling's strength. He was the only person who had entered the "Xian Zi Bang" in recent years, with the strength of a Red Dust Immortal.
With Lei Luo's strength, it was impossible for him to survive in Ye Ling's hands!
Unless, Ye Ling deliberately let him go!
And with Ye Ling's strength, it was perfectly normal for him to conceal his identity and impersonate Kong Xu Han.
Ye Yi had already roughly guessed that Kong Xu Han was Ye Ling.
She could have immediately reported and accused Ye Ling to Bai Xiaosheng.
However, for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to report Ye Ling.
Seeing Ye Yi's hesitant expression, Bai Xiaosheng also frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else?"
Ye Yi snapped back to reality and repeatedly shook her head, "N-nothing, I was just thinking about who the traitor might be."
Bai Xiaosheng urged, "Then go quickly and issue the order to seal off the entire research branch. Everyone must be investigated. Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
"If no clues are found, your entire branch will have to be buried with this Tongtian Tower!"
"Yes!"
Ye Yi quickly complied and then led the guards in the research branch out of the room to arrange various matters.
After Ye Yi left, Bai Xiaosheng walked to the ruins of the Tongtian Tower again, crouched down, and examined the broken pieces, trying to find some clues from the debris.
Ye Ling watched Ye Yi leave with a heavy heart, his eyes narrowing slightly, "That girl... could she have guessed my identity?"
Ye Yi's expression changes were very obvious.
Bai Xiaosheng was entirely focused on the Tongtian Tower and the ancient ruins, so it was normal for him not to notice Ye Yi's emotional changes.
But Ye Ling was an observer. If he couldn't see Ye Yi's changes, then he would have wasted all these years.
"Forget it, since the identity of Kong Xu Han can no longer be used, let him shine one last time."
Ye Ling smiled and shook his head, having already decided to abandon the identity of Kong Xu Han. He ignored Bai Xiaosheng and the others in the room and stepped out.
Under Ye Yi's orders, the entire research branch began to enforce a strict lockdown.
All researchers here, including security personnel, were to be interrogated by the cultivators brought by Bai Xiaosheng.
Everyone had to stay in their rooms and were not allowed to move around.
Now, the once spacious research branch had empty corridors, with only a few Hong Chen Ge cultivators moving around, creating a very tense atmosphere.
In the hands of the interrogating cultivators, everyone held blood-stained clubs and whips.
It was clear that they had not hesitated to torture the people here.
At this moment, in the room where Ye Ling was resting.
Ye Yi pushed the door open and stared indifferently at Ye Ling, who was sitting on a chair resting.
Seeing Ye Yi enter, Ye Ling greeted her with a smile, "You're here, have a seat!"
Ye Yi looked deeply at Ye Ling, then took out a card from her pocket and threw it to Ye Ling, saying, "This is my identity card. The entire research branch is now under lockdown, and only my card has the highest authority."
"You, take it and escape."
