God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

The space is dark.

The flickering candlelight looked like a ghost face.

Countless bloody hand prints were faintly visible on the wall.

There seemed to be a mournful cry for help in the invisible darkness ahead...

……

After devouring the dwarf's soul, Pei Daoye was affected by the man's deepest memories and was unable to react.

Tragic! Dark!
This was the most appropriate adjective he could think of.

However, he only practiced his skills slightly, and the power of his soul was like a furnace, completely shattering these negative influences!

"Those who disturb my heart cannot be allowed to stay!"

He then looked at the old man in the straw raincoat who was fighting with Chen Laojiang.

The man was in a state of panic and was no longer in danger.

However, out of caution, Pei Daoye decided to take action himself.

"How dare you kill members of my Wanxiang Palace!"

Pei Daoye roared.

The old man in the straw raincoat was startled.

He never expected that there was another person here!
Only then did he suddenly realize that the old zombie Chen who was fighting with him was not his target at all!
But it’s the person who is speaking!
He was indecisive.

The dwarf's whereabouts were unknown, making him extremely frightened.

On the one hand he wanted to leave.

On the other hand, after discovering the real target, he wanted to take another gamble!
The dwarf is dead. If the mission could be completed, all the benefits would be his alone!

If he could get those mission rewards, his strength would increase greatly!

But Pei Daoye did not give him more chance to daydream.

He released the power of his soul and kept questioning, which subtly made the old man focus on the mastermind behind the scenes.

The purpose of doing this, of course, is to... devour!
"If I tell you you can't let me go?"

The old man in the straw raincoat had just finished speaking.

But he never expected that Pei Daoye had no interest in flattering him at all.

The soul seal condenses in the palm.

Suppress it harshly!

……

"Assassinating someone from the Wanxiang Palace? Wouldn't that be a bit bad?"

"What are you afraid of? They have offended someone they shouldn't have offended."

"Who?"

In the eyes of the old man in the straw raincoat, the man opposite him was wearing a metal mask.

I didn't get an accurate answer, but I could clearly hear the other party sneer softly.

……

Pei Daoye withdrew his gaze.

He has figured out the whole story.

On the surface, this mission was issued by a royal family from one of the thirteen southern countries, but in reality, the Immortal Alliance was fanning the flames.

I guess... the Five Tiger Generals didn't do their job cleanly and efficiently, and people still noticed their flaws.

The fact that they killed the disciples of the Immortal Alliance may have been exposed.

Next…

"Master Dao, I have been involved in an unexpected disaster!"

He went to contact Leng Huang.

I was not able to get in touch with you right away.

Instinctively he became alert.

However, with the extraordinary perception, nothing abnormal was found.

Maybe something happened to that woman at the last minute.

Waited for a while.

It was the five brothers of Qimen who contacted him first.

"Chief, we must have been targeted. The people we interrogated said that the mastermind behind the plan to attack us is from the royal family of Tuva."

Pei Daoye certainly knew it, but he was just the killer in the open, not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

However, he did not intend to tell the five brothers the truth, so as to prevent them from "losing their composure".

"Buzz."

The sound transmission note suddenly vibrated. It was that woman Leng Huang who finally sent a message.

"Did you kill anyone from the Immortal Alliance?"

She got straight to the point on the spot.

But Pei Daoye raised his eyebrows and denied it flatly. "What are you kidding me about? Why would I kill anyone from the Immortal Alliance?"

Leng Huang fell silent for a moment before speaking: "Someone contacted me just now... Jian Jiu, you may have encountered some trouble. I hope you understand that you and I are now in the same boat. If anything happens, you must tell me, otherwise I will not be able to save you."

Pei Daoye realized that something he didn't know seemed to have happened, and said calmly: "Tell me what you know first?"

Leng Huang took a deep breath, and seeing that Pei Daoye was still unwilling to speak, he could only speak first: "Someone told me that you killed people from the Immortal Alliance, which has caused dissatisfaction from the Immortal Sect, so... they are going to get rid of you now."

"They? Who are they?"

"Those who want to establish a relationship with the Immortal Alliance."

"Does it include the Seventeenth Palace?"

"Of course not. I still have the final say in the current Seventeenth Palace. But you have to tell me the truth. Did you kill anyone from the Immortal Alliance? There are two possible outcomes."

Pei Daoye sighed. "Palace Master, I was originally handling this matter in a low-key manner, but unfortunately something seems to have gone wrong. I can tell you responsibly that it was your people, or more precisely, the most loyal subordinates you trained, who accidentally killed someone from the Immortal Alliance."

Leng Huang was shocked: "Are you talking about the five brothers of Qi Sect?"

Pei Daoye’s silence made Leng Huang very angry.

But it was not directed at Pei Daoye.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me? Them? How could they?"

"Do you think I ordered them to kill the Immortal Alliance disciples?"

Pei Daoye interrupted angrily, he would not take the blame.

He took the initiative to explain: "At the beginning, I followed your instructions and gave them the task of kidnapping some royal family members.

But unfortunately, they accidentally killed a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Considering the huge impact, I naturally wouldn't say much to outsiders, so I planned to fish in troubled waters.

But I never met anyone from the Immortal Alliance again. So I wonder how this matter got exposed?"

Leng Huang was stunned.

"Accidental murder? Accidental murder?"

She couldn't understand how these five brothers could accidentally kill someone.

But Pei Daoye's words reminded her.

"Do you think there is something wrong with these five brothers?"

Pei Daoye said calmly: "You are the one who cultivated them. I just met them, so I can't give you any answers."

Leng Huang was silent again.

After a moment, he said, "From now on, keep silent about this matter, and you must not admit it. I will take care of the Man Wanxiang Palace. As long as the Immortal Alliance does not think that it was you who did it, there is a chance to turn the situation around."

Pei Daoye had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Even now.

This woman hasn't given up yet.

But he can understand it.

The Immortal Alliance is indeed powerful, but this move is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

"By the way, you just said that the five Qimen brothers were being tracked?"

Leng Huang suddenly asked again.

"It's been resolved. It was the royal family who did it. They probably don't like us. But if you ask me, the five Qimen brothers you arranged are still a little unreliable. Why do they leave tails everywhere?"

Pei Daoye did not tell the truth, but he also complained a little.

Leng Huang's heart sank: "Jian Jiu, what exactly do you mean? There's no need to hide it from me. You and I can trust each other completely."

"I can't say for sure. But I suggest you check it out internally, so you can have peace of mind."

Leng Huang was silent for a moment and finally spoke.

"Okay, I see."

In fact, Pei Daoye was already very polite in his words.

Is it reasonable that you, Leng Huang, are the master of a palace but have ended up like this?
The two ended their conversation.

Pei Daoye stood there, his slender fingers gently stroking the smooth surface of the sound transmission note. He was now certain of two things.

First, someone was targeting him.

Second, there is a traitor.

"I have just become the leader of the Seventeenth Palace. Someone wants to deal with me so soon? If the giant monster of the Immortal Alliance is really attracted, let alone the Seventeenth Palace, how can the entire Wanxiang Palace withstand the pressure brought by this behemoth?
If that’s the case, I’m afraid I’ll lose my identity in the Wanxiang Palace.

Currently, the only person who knows my background is Leng Huang. Do you want to…"

Pei Daoye muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with dangerous signals.

At this time, the five brothers of Qimen suddenly sent another message.

Pei Daoye just glanced at it and dismissed it casually.

from now on.

He wants to keep his distance from these five brothers.

If they really have a problem, then the flaws will definitely be revealed next.

Pick up the Telegraph Talisman.

"Shh, don't talk."

……

"The leader asked us to go to the White Bone Forest. Do you want to go? That place is full of good and bad people right now."

"That's the leader's order, do you dare to disobey it?"

The third of the five brothers said coldly.

Seeing this, the fourth brother stopped talking. He just smiled at the silent eldest brother and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You just kept silent."

The boss glanced at him and said slowly: "I was just wondering, we were so careful along the way, why did we get exposed?"

The fourth brother was suddenly startled and asked hurriedly, "Brother, are you saying that the leader betrayed me?"

The eldest of the five brothers just looked at them calmly.

But the second brother next to him said calmly: "He has no reason to betray us. I think the traitor may be someone else."

Everyone looked over.

The fourth brother frowned and said, "Second brother, can you please explain it more clearly? Who can understand you if you say that?"

The second brother said calmly, "Who knows our mission? You were in charge during the retreat, fourth brother. We were followed, but you probably didn't notice."

The fourth brother was immediately furious.

"Second brother, what do you mean? Do you think I would betray you? Are you kidding me? You know what kind of person I am. Even if I die, I will never betray you."

"I think the source of all this is because we killed that Immortal Alliance disciple."

The silent Old Five spoke slowly at this time.

Being looked at by everyone, he showed no sign of panic.

"We only told the leader about this matter. The leader promised to help us cover it up, but the matter was still exposed."

"Are you still saying that the leader betrayed us?" The fourth brother frowned.

He felt like his brain was about to shut down.

Lao Wu shook his head, "No, I'm not doubting him. Because from the beginning, even until now, we haven't really completed the mission, so there's no need for him to attack us, even if he wants to kill us."

"Then what do you mean?"

The one asking the questions was the fourth one, who was most concerned about these things at the moment. The others seemed relatively calm.

"If I remember correctly, you are in charge of the matter regarding the Immortal Alliance disciple."

This sentence immediately focused everyone's attention on the silent third brother.

Even so, he did not panic.

He just looked at Lao Wu calmly: "I handled it. But I handled it in front of you. If there was a problem, could I have hidden it from you at that time?"

Lao Wu just smiled without saying anything, which was somewhat self-deprecating.

this moment.

The eldest and the second looked at each other.

The fourth brother held his head with both hands in annoyance and pounded it hard, then looked at the third brother.

But he didn't know how to start, so he looked at Lao Wu fiercely and said, "Lao Wu, are you saying that Third Brother did something to expose me on purpose? But it doesn't make sense for him to do that. We are five brothers. Although we are not as close as biological brothers, we are still as close as brothers. There is no need for him to put us in a dead end."

"Yes, we have been through so many ups and downs over the years. What kind of dangers have we not seen? What kind of things have we not encountered? Now... is it that serious?"

Lao Wu's eyes were calm.

He did not look at the fourth brother, but instead looked calmly at the third brother who was looking at him.

"Third brother, you saved my life. I remember that. I've always remembered that. That's why I always treat you as my own brother and always obey your orders.

But now, the lives of our five brothers are involved.

I just want to ask you one question: have you betrayed us Seventeenth Prince? Or, have you betrayed us five brothers?"

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

The fourth brother looked at the two men in astonishment.

The eldest and the second oldest remained silent, as if they had guessed something.

But they also have their own decisions.

"If I say it was all just an accident, would you believe me?"

The third brother spoke slowly.

The fifth brother just laughed at himself: "If it was an accident at the beginning, then what about the later? And now? Are all things accidents? Third brother, this is what you taught me. When all the accidents come together, it is not an accident at all! It is a long-planned conspiracy!"

The third brother remained silent.

The atmosphere became tense again.

The fourth brother was furious and glared at the third brother: "Chen Youfa, what on earth are you doing? The five of us have been together through thick and thin for so many years. You are hiding something from us? And you betrayed us?

Are you happy only when your brothers are dead? Tell us everything now. If there is still a chance to make amends, we brothers will help you make amends together. "

"Old Third, as long as you speak out, we won't blame you."

The eldest and second oldest of the five brothers also spoke up. After all, they were brothers, and no one wanted to completely fall out.

Being stared at by everyone.

The third brother just smiled palely.

"It's too late. It's totally too late."

"How can it be too late? This happened only a day or two ago. It's still very convenient to remedy it."

The fourth brother said this naively.

At this moment, he still has the brotherhood in his mind.

The third brother looked at him with an inexplicable expression: "Fourth brother, sometimes I really envy you. Maybe it's because you have simple ideas that you can live so easily."

The fourth brother was stunned.

He just felt that these words were somewhat like a veiled attack on him.

But I also feel that the third brother is not that kind of person.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The boss finally couldn't help asking.

The third brother looked at him and then lowered his head.

Finally, he said in a deep voice: "Three years ago, I and five brothers went to the Divine Weapon Valley. Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember. Those bastards actually colluded with Xuan Yingzhong and wanted to deal with us. But it snowed heavily that day, and the five of us brothers relied on the last Snow Dragon Formation to kill everyone and successfully broke out of the encirclement."

When the fourth brother mentioned this, he seemed very excited.

The third brother laughed at himself and said, "Killing everyone?"

The fourth brother looked over in confusion.

Before he could speak, Lao Wu stopped him and said, "Listen to him."

The third brother lowered his head and seemed to be in great distress.

"We were able to leave that day because I promised someone that I would work for her. Otherwise, all five of us would have died there... I'm not kidding. You know how dangerous it was that day."

"who's that person?"

Lao Wu spoke.

The third brother shook his head and pointed at his chest. "I can't betray him. I can only say that everything I do now has not been unfair to my brothers. The matter with the Immortal Alliance disciple was indeed an accident. I didn't expect him to follow me, and I never thought of killing him."

"Then how do you explain what's happening now?"

The third brother looked at the second brother who was asking questions and spoke slowly. "Someone wanted me to lure out our leader who has a great background. Except for that accident, everything was just a trap. But unfortunately it seems to have failed. Because if it had succeeded, he would not have had the chance to answer the question just now."

Everyone fell silent.

"How to do?"

The usually talkative Old Four could no longer stand this depressing atmosphere and couldn't help but speak.
