Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 481 Betrayal (Part 3)

After the convoy entered Huayang City, it headed in a direction that was completely different from the location of the Dongshan Escort Agency. Instead, it turned left and right and quickly entered a deserted and secluded open space.

Upon arriving at the open space, they found no one around.

The bodyguards quickly tore down the swaying banners and tossed them into the carriage as if they were trash, the colorful flags wrapped around the flagpoles.

Then they took out thick gray tarpaulins and completely covered the surface of the carriage, so that no markings could be seen.

The location was already extremely secluded, and with darkness falling and no one around, no one could be seen. "Alright, once my brothers from the alliance arrive and confirm that everything is in order, this matter will be considered closed." Ying Jiu stepped out of the carriage and stood in the open space, watching the group of bodyguards busily working with satisfaction. "This time, we really owe you a lot. I hope you won't hold it against me for any offense I may have caused in the past."

"It's alright, let bygones be bygones." Seeing that things were nearing their end, Luo Meiwei was in high spirits. "After this is over, I won't have to be on edge all the time, worrying about this and that."

She continued to use Han Yi's appearance, seemingly afraid that if someone came over, she wouldn't be able to explain in time.

"Speaking of which, after you left, who will take over Qiyun Mountain?" Ying Jiu suddenly asked.

"I don't know about that. Let whoever wants to go go, it depends on what the higher-ups decide," Luo Meiwei said, shaking her head.

She's already starting to dream about her retirement: blue skies, white clouds, wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, fields and mansions, dozens of male lovers. With the personal gain she's made through abusing her power, plus the wealth she's accumulated over the years from taking on these dangerous missions, she could live a life of luxury and debauchery for the rest of her days.

"There's no need to consider such things. In my opinion, with so many important things lost at Qiyun Mountain, they might just be gone forever, so there's no need to worry about what happens next," she sneered.

“That’s true.” Ying Jiu said with some emotion, “That Han Yi can only be described as unlucky, getting himself into such a big mess for no reason.”

"Whose fault is it? Blame it on his bad luck..."

Before Luo Meiwei could finish speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by a deep voice: "Han Yi? Strange, why would someone say they have bad luck..."

"Who?" Ying Jiu and Luo Meiwei shouted at the same time, their eyes flashing like lightning as they scanned the surroundings.

However, the surroundings were dark and gloomy, completely deserted. "Who goes there? I am Han Yi, the inspector of the Nine-Bend Courtyard of Jingtian Manor. If you have something to say, please step forward and speak!" Luo Meiwei threatened loudly, brandishing her tiger skin.

Ying Jiu also quietly patted his shoulder, and the black eagle flapped its wings and silently climbed into the sky, circling back and forth.

"Hmm?" A voice in the darkness murmured in surprise. "You're Han Yi, then who am I...?"

Han Yi slowly emerged from the darkness. The moonlight flickered and shone on his cold face, making him appear even more forlorn and disappointed.

He never expected that even though he treated his three top leaders so generously, someone would still want to betray him.

He especially trusted May Lo because she was capable and efficient.

In the end, when I looked at it...

Yang Du waited at the Lotus Hall for a whole day but couldn't find Luo Meiwei. Helpless, he had no choice but to report the truth to Han Yi.

Han Yi had just broken through to the fifth level of true skill and was bored, so he decided to go for a stroll.

However, they discovered that people from the Dongshan Escort Agency were moving goods.

This is actually normal. Han Yi didn't intend to interfere much, but the floral scent that appeared when he passed by, and when the mine collapsed last time, caught his attention.

This same smell lingered when the mine collapsed. Han Yi suspected it was the work of the Green-Clad Alliance.

But suspicion can only remain suspicion; he had no concrete evidence.

However, when that familiar scent reappeared beside him, its nature was truly different.

Han Yi initially thought that the people from Dongshan Escort Agency were secretly colluding with the Green Robe Alliance, so he wanted to follow along and find out the reason.

What happened next completely enraged him.

Someone actually disguised themselves as him, got through everything without any obstacles, and did things under his name! They could imitate his appearance and voice perfectly, without any mistakes, and were also very familiar with all the rules and regulations...

These are clearly his own people colluding with the Green Robe Alliance!

"Luo Meiwei, you have disappointed me so much..." Han Yi sighed, lamenting the fickle and unpredictable nature of human hearts.

Having just personally witnessed Senior Sister Zhong Han being betrayed by her best friend of over ten years, she never expected that it would happen to her in the same way.

Within his territory, only the three hall masters possessed the power and status to achieve this level.

At that time, Zhu Haishan, the leader of Yingyang Hall, and Qu Qiao, the leader of Xuanwu Hall, were both within the territory.

Only May Lo was nowhere to be found.

Coupled with his memory of the strength of his three main hall masters, he quickly deduced...

Only Luo Meiwei of Lotus Hall would do such things.

Actually, May Lo is also completely bewildered right now.

If she were to encounter other people, she could confidently fool them with her flawless disguise skills.

But now...

The imposter met the real deal...

Even if she talked herself hoarse and moved heaven and earth, she still couldn't explain it clearly.

“I…” Luo Meiwei’s expression changed several times. In the end, she knew that she could not explain and could only sigh.

This is ultimately inexplicable and cannot be hidden from view.

The muscles on her face moved slowly, and the bones in her body tightened gradually during a process of contraction and stretching.

After a few moments, she regained her mature and alluringly sexy demeanor: "Master Han, it's all a misunderstanding... The Dongshan Escort Agency can't easily get into this shipment, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic..."

As she was speaking, she quietly made a hand gesture to Ying Jiu.

She then released her hands, leaving the center gate wide open, and slowly approached Han Yi.

"They're just weapons and food. What's wrong with bringing them into the city? Are my documents and seals fake?" Han Yi remained unmoved and asked in return.

"My lord, you don't understand..." Luo Meiwei looked sorrowful and helpless, her delicate nose twitching slightly, her lips parting slightly, "Those guards at the gate... often see me as beautiful, so..."
