Chapter 464: The Traitor

, the air in the living room grew eerily silent.Including Wang Bing and everyone else, all stared at Xia Yan with wide eyes, some in astonishment.Ice blue hair, ice blue eyes, skin like crystal ice, t...As many Indigenous adventurers discovered the sky and land, Land Sky also saw them.

He saw that the Star River City guards were still alive and a smile appeared on his face: "Finally found you all."

He didn't forget his mission to save the Star River City guards. Along the way, he dealt with fallen items while entering each pyramid to see if there were any survivors.

Of course, other pyramids have more dead people and spirits.

Lu Kong casually struck the key with his sword, then smiled at the crowd of indigenous people: "You are all safe now."

Many indigenous people walked out of the prison, filled with the joy of survival.

"Mr. Lu Kong, thank you!"

"Thank you very much, Lu Kong. If it weren't for you, we would have probably just become lab specimens."

..."

Each indigenous person expressed their gratitude.

Lu Kong shook his head, indicating it was nothing to worry about.

Before I was in the secondary city, every time Lu Kong cleared out a base of the Pale Cult, he could save a group of indigenous people.

These indigenous people were treated as backup experimental subjects.

For this kind of situation, he is now very proficient at dealing with it.

After that, Lu Kong turned and walked out the door. The other indigenous people exchanged glances and followed him.

After stepping out the door, they saw bodies scattered everywhere. All the indigenous people gasped in horror, their eyes wide with shock.

"...No wonder I didn't hear any noise outside just now."

Someone muttered to themselves.

Others were also amazed.

Here there are over 100,000 monsters, and in such a short time they were all killed by Lu Kong

How strong is he, exactly

Everyone looked at Lu Kong's back, unable to imagine.

Lu Kong glanced at the shocked crowd, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, when you were arrested, did you see any members of the Pale Cult collaborating with the Festering Claw demons"

At these words, the crowd was taken aback and looked at each other.

"Then a gaunt man spoke up: 'I was brought here by the Corrupted Claw Demon. It knocked me unconscious and handed me over to the Pale Order on the way. So I've seen them cooperate.'"

“I was captured by the Corrupted Claws and the Pale Congregation working together. If I hadn't been so surprised that they were allied, I would have never been caught!” roared a four-meter-tall giant, seething with anger.

“I was also caught by them together.”

"...."

"In that, some of the indigenous people understand they are cooperating. Lu Kong hurriedly asked, "Then do you know what they plan to do after cooperating"

Everyone was stunned, then shook their heads.

Just then, the first withered man to speak seemed to have thought of something. His face changed slightly as he spoke, "When I was unconscious, I vaguely heard some of their conversation, but I couldn't make it out clearly. It seemed like someone from the Pale Order said something about a 'traitor'. "

"Traitor" Lu Kong frowned.

Is there a traitor within the Pale Church

Where is the traitor

His thoughts were scattered like leaves in the wind, but with only two words, he couldn't tell what the other party was planning.

The city guard captain and Fei by the edge of the river asked, “Is there anything else”

This involves cooperation between the Pale Order and the Decaying Claws, clearly a very important matter.

The gaunt man pondered for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't think so. I wasn't quite myself at the time."

The land and sky were a little disappointed.

The withered man saw Lu Kong's disappointment and felt some distress. "I'm sorry, Lord Lu Kong," he said, "I couldn't help you."

"It's not your fault," Lu Kong shook his head.

Even though he was in a coma, he still had some consciousness, which was quite remarkable.

"I'm planning on checking out the pyramids in Giza, are you guys coming"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"Master Lu Kong, since you have saved us, if there is anything we can do to help, we will certainly do our best!"

“Yes, and according to Master Lu Kong, the Pale Church has actually joined forces with demons, utterly despicable! We should lend a hand.”

The ground and air scouts have checked, these native adventurers are at levels in the thirties and forties.

While the template is not very high-end, it's mostly bosses and above.

Now basically all of the Pale Church's disciples and undead have been killed by Lu Kong. These adventurers won't be in any danger either.

"Then go investigate and see if you can find any leads on a possible collaboration between the Corrupted Claw and the Pale Covenant."

After that, Lu Kong led numerous indigenous adventurers into each pyramid to investigate.

Soon, they arrived at the largest pyramid in the center.

This should be the pyramid where those level 50 holy spirits from the Pale Order are.

Lu Kong and others entered it and searched through it.

In a short while, Lu Kong found a hidden compartment in a room.

The secret compartment contained only a single, fragmented piece of black.

The fragments were covered in a myriad of runes, appearing incredibly intricate and mysterious.

Lu Kong used his Divination Technique.

【Unknown Key Shard (Special)】: This seems to be a fragment of some special key. There should be three more fragments like this.

Key fragments

The first thing Lu Kong thought of was the key to the Glowing Ruins he had obtained before.

Is this kind of thing like a key

Li Kong frowned, wondering why this thing would be placed here.

The other three pieces... who knows where they are

Li Kong scratched his head, a little helplessly.

After a while, the entire pyramid had been turned over. Aside from the key fragments, nothing else useful was found.

To date, the only clues discovered by land and air are the two words "traitor".

And this may not even be accurate, after all, the emaciated man was in a coma at the time, his consciousness hazy. It's possible he was hallucinating.

They continued to search for other pyramids.

It took them more than a day to turn all the pyramids upside down.

Still no harvest.

In the end, Lu Kong had no choice but to take everyone and leave the Pale Church's stronghold, bringing them back to Xinghe City.

After entering Xinghe City, many adventurers and airship crews bid farewell. Land Air once again expressed his gratitude to everyone.

While the injured Xinghe City guards followed closely behind Lu Kong.

"Flying looked at the sky and land, with a trace of admiration in his eyes: "Lord Lu Kong, are you going to the Hall of Administration next"

Lu Kong nodded. "Well, I'm going to look for the City Lord of Lieyang."

After saving the Star River City guards, he also completed his mission.

Because the level is higher, the experience required for upgrading increases.

Plus, the number of monsters at the Pale Church stronghold isn't great either. After clearing all the areas in the Pale Church stronghold, it still hasn't leveled up.

It's not much different though.

Once he finishes his tasks, he should be able to level up.

This delighted Lu Kong, as upgrading in the early stages was quite difficult when he was in Dawu City!

After all, although he was quite skilled at the time, he couldn't achieve what he can do now, which is to directly sweep through an entire stronghold.

And the monsters in the stronghold were far above his level, even exceeding him by a whole tier.

Although his level is now higher, the upgrade speed is much faster than when he was at around level 10.

This is the benefit of being strong.

And Fei broke into a smile, and said, “That’s great! We were planning on going back to settle some scores too! Let’s go together.”

"Of course, no problem," Lu Kong nodded.

A lone rider, astride their mount, quickly arrived at the Hall of Governance along the street.

The guards at the palace gate, who were on duty, saw He and Fei and several others. They all stared in astonishment.

Then they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Captain Fei! You're actually alive!"

"And Captain Fei, are you both alright"

The Xinghe City guards also knew that Fei and his companions were captured by the Pale Church. In general, this could be treated as a death in service.

They never expected that Fei and his group would actually come back.

“Thanks to Lu Kong’s rescue, we probably would have died at the White Congregation’s stronghold,” Fei smiled and explained.

The city guard of Xinghe City, who was guarding the gate, heard this and looked at Lu Kong with even more enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Mr. Lu Kong, thank you so much for saving Captain He Fei and the others!"

"You're welcome," Lu Kong waved his hand.

He was a little surprised. These people shouldn't be from the same team, right

I didn't expect the relationship to be this good.

"and Fei seemed to notice Lu Kong's surprise, smiling and explaining: 'The Star River City guards are all brothers. We all fight for the peace of Star River City.'"

Lu Kong looked at the gleam in the eyes of these Star River City guards, as if he saw the Xuan Bird Army and the current Alliance Army.

He nodded and said no more.

After that, Lu Kong and Fei went to the Mayor's office together.

Upon entering the office, Lord City Master of Lieyang stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu Kong, saying: "Mr. Lu Kong, thank you for saving He Fei and the others. Otherwise, our Xinghe City would have lost more comrades."

As soon as the City Lord of Burning Sun spoke, another golden light emanated from Lu Kong's body.

He broke into a smile. He was level 34.
