Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Under this sudden pressure, Qin Yu's own aura involuntarily burst forth, and his body instinctively tried to resist the pressure. However, faced with the absolute difference in strength, his knees inevitably bent slightly.

"It really does have the aura of a half-step Martial King."

Sensing the aura emanating from Qin Yu, the Great Xia Emperor smiled and withdrew his oppressive aura.

It seems he was overthinking it.

The one who endured ninety-nine bolts of heavenly lightning was not Qin Yu.

The Great Xia Emperor looked at Qin Yu with a smile, his face full of admiration:

"At your age, you're the first kid to stand up to my authority without kneeling. You certainly haven't disappointed me!"

"Keep up the good work, the future of Great Xia depends on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Great Xia Emperor vanished from the spot.

With the departure of the Great Xia Emperor, the oppressive feeling that had been weighing on everyone's hearts dissipated, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this the aura of the strongest in the Great Xia Dynasty? The sheer pressure of just standing there made them feel breathless.

Qin Yu's expression remained normal, but no one knew that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He's not stupid.

Naturally, he had already realized that the Great Xia Emperor suspected him of being the one who had undergone ninety-nine lightning tribulations.

Fortunately, he had a Celestial-level concealment technique to help him hide his cultivation level.

Otherwise, we would have almost been exposed just now.

Qin Yu didn't believe that the Human Emperor Lao Deng would praise him highly once he learned that he was the monster who had undergone ninety-nine tribulations of lightning.

After all, he understood all too well what those dog emperors were thinking.

That is,

You can be awesome, but you absolutely can't be more awesome than me!

Because you're more powerful than me, my rule is no longer secure!

Therefore, this is why Qin Yu never dared to reveal this matter.

Fortunately, he managed to fool the old man, the Emperor.

Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His current strength was still not enough to take down this dog emperor. He needed to stay calm and not be reckless!

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Divine Messenger Society,

In a dimly lit meeting room, the surviving twelve zodiac priests and Li Erniu gathered together.

"My Lord, we've discovered that the reason the Snake and his group failed in their mission is because the Tiger betrayed them," Chenlong said with a grim expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Erniu remained expressionless and simply sat silently in his chair.

Although he didn't speak, anyone could sense that the Lord God was extremely angry at this moment.

After all, in less than a month, four zodiac deities had died in battle, and one had betrayed them.

If it were them, they'd probably be furious too.

Therefore, no one else dared to utter a sound at this moment, for fear of incurring the wrath of the God.

The atmosphere in the meeting room remained frozen for what seemed like an eternity before Li Erniu suddenly smiled.

There seemed to be a sense of relief in that laughter.

"Forget it, it's too late to dwell on it anymore."

Everyone present was taken aback upon hearing this.

Ok?

Why didn't the God Lord fly into a rage this time?

Has her temper become so good?

Everyone was puzzled, and just then, Li Erniu suddenly looked at them and said:

"Why aren't you all laughing? So what if the mission failed? So what if someone betrayed us? It's not a big deal."

"Remember what I told you before? No matter what happens, face it with a smile."

"Hahaha." The pig was the first to laugh out loud: "Lord God, you're right. To put it bluntly, it's just this little thing. What's the big deal? Just be optimistic and calm down... Bang!"

However, before Hai Zhu could finish speaking, he was kicked hard into the wall by Li Erniu.

"You actually laughed after I told you to?"

Li Erniu laughed angrily, his eyes turning extremely sinister: "What the hell makes you have the nerve to laugh?!"

Pig (亥): (⊙?0?6⊙)

Li Erniu was so angry that he cursed loudly:

"Do you know that just now, the Demon Race Supreme Cabal sent me a notice that he is extremely dissatisfied with our performance over the past period, believes that we are incompetent, and is already considering canceling our cooperation!"

"What!?"

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

It's important to understand that the Divine Envoy Society's development to its current state is inseparable from the support of the demon race.

If we didn't have their support now,

Then their divine messengers will be finished sooner or later!

The seven zodiac deities all had their brows furrowed and looked somewhat flustered.

"Lord God, what should we do now?" Chenlong asked with some worry.

Li Erniu's face was gloomy:

"Fortunately, Cabal hasn't completely lost faith in us and has given us one last chance."

"In half a month, their demon race will gather an army of tens of millions of demons to launch a new round of war. What we need to do is to cause trouble in the rear of Great Xia, distract the Great Xia's powerful figures, and prevent them from going to the front line to provide support."

"Now, immediately summon all the priests back to headquarters to formulate a plan."

"This time, we must demonstrate our worth to the demon race!"

"Yes!"

……

half a month later.

Inside the special training camp,

The new recruits stood in neat rows on the training ground.

On the dais,

Zhang Dongze stood there with his hands behind his back, his face stern as he surveyed each of the new recruits below the stage.

"A month has passed, which officially marks the end of your training in the special training camp."

"First of all, I congratulate you on persevering until now. However, to become a true Night Watcher, you still need to pass the final test!"

Upon hearing this, the new recruits below the stage couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

The final assessment

If they pass, they can become a glorious Night Watcher, bringing honor to their ancestors!

But they also knew very well that

This final assessment will definitely not be easy.

Zhang Dongze looked at the new recruits below the stage: "Are you all ready?"

The new recruits below the stage shouted in unison, "Always ready!"

"very good!"

Zhang Dongze nodded, and then led the new recruits into a room that resembled a laboratory.

Before them was a reclining chair, covered with all sorts of instruments.

Zhang Dongze explained:

"Next, each of you will lie down on the recliner in turn and put on the equipment as instructed by the staff. This will be your final assessment?"

Is this the final assessment?

The new recruits were all taken aback upon hearing this.

They were all somewhat confused about what this final test was actually about.

"First place, Li Longhu."

As expected, Li Longhu was the first to be tested.

Li Longhu strode towards the recliner, sat down as instructed by the staff in white coats, and had various instruments attached to his limbs and head.

"are you ready?"

The staff looked at Li Longhu, who nodded, and then the staff pressed the start button on the control panel.

The next moment, everyone saw Li Longhu suddenly twitch all over, then abruptly close his eyes and collapse onto the recliner.

Then, right in front of everyone, a screen that was originally black suddenly lit up.

The scene appears to be an interrogation room.

A figure sat there with his head down, eyes closed, and hands cuffed.

The new recruits all stared wide-eyed at the sight of that figure.

Because that figure was none other than Li Longhu!

Seeing the bewildered and confused expressions on the faces of the new recruits, Zhang Dongze revealed a meaningful smile and said:

"This is a hypnotic device that can immerse people in a state of mind, make them forget everything they have ever experienced, and make them react in the most authentic way."

"And this is the final test, a test of your character, a test of your loyalty to the country and the people!"
