Back to Abyss

Is there a faction where more than half of its members are undercover agents?

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't imagine how far this force could go.

When Bibi Dong first guessed this possibility, she couldn't imagine what form such a force would take.

However, in the past six months, Holy Soul Village and the surrounding villages, along with Nuoding City on the Heaven Dou side and Falling Star City on the Star Luo Empire side, have also developed rapidly.

Describe it in one word:

Things are changing rapidly.

Without a doubt, those undercover agents were constantly reporting Red Assembly intelligence to the forces behind them...

However, the undercover agents are also in conflict with each other, as they want to obtain the secrets of the Red Assembly while ensuring that only their own side knows them.

While the undercover agents were trying to carry out the orders given by the Red Assembly, the Red Assembly was also using the power behind these undercover agents to seek their own advantages.

No!

This doesn't require any scheming; rather, the forces behind those spies will proactively open the door to gain more secrets of the Red Assembly and allow their own spies to truly infiltrate the Red Assembly.

[A very clever tactic, but what if an undercover agent actually infiltrates the Red Assembly you founded and seizes power?]

Given his ability to research the existence of the Aura Field theory, even at a young age, Bibi Dong didn't believe he couldn't see this.

Upon careful consideration, Bibi Dong understood.

The key lies in two words:

Benefit.

Based on this main road from Holy Soul Village to the western Vast Sea City, the interests of villages and towns along the way in Fasinuo Province have been linked together.

Even Vast Sea City is included.

Similarly.

As long as the Red Assembly can form a network of interests with the forces behind those undercover agents, so that everyone can benefit, then when the Red Assembly grows stronger and other forces benefit from it, they will naturally not allow their own undercover agents to cause trouble. In fact, if Zhou Qing operates properly, those undercover agents may even work harder.

Zhou Qing and Red Assembly will be the Spirit Hall's true adversaries in the future!

Because the underlying logic of the Spirit Hall system is that the Strong Reign Supreme, Bibi Dong's senses in politics and economics are not as sharp as Xue Ye's or Dai Tianran's. However, having been the Pope for nearly ten years, she has a unique way of thinking and pays more attention to practical interests. Coupled with Zhou Qing and his companions' talent in Martial Soul cultivation, she is so certain in her heart.

And also—

The Red Assembly's development model is somewhat similar to that of the Spirit Hall, both constantly establishing branches in other regions.

The Spirit Hall only establishes Martial Soul Hall Office in these villages, which are managed by the village chiefs, as long as they keep the area clean.

But now it seems that if these villagers unite, they are a force to be reckoned with. In just over three years, they have largely built a main road from the Holy Soul Village to the vicinity of Vast Sea City.

However, the Spirit Hall's previous plans cannot be abandoned halfway, otherwise the internal Soul Master will complain.

Right now, the priority is to deal with the matter of establishing a Martial Soul Hall in Abyss Town.

Abyss Ruins

Closely connected to the First Generation Angel God... Moreover, the Abyss People from the Fourth Layer, Saundin, killed a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall and must also pay a price...

···

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing, the protagonist of the Red Assembly, accompanied by Romantina Dugu Bo, went to Tianming City and entered Abyss Town.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and others stayed behind in the area around Holy Soul Village.

Zhou Qing temporarily retrieved the Soul Guidance Crystal from Tang San, hoping to find the corresponding Soul Guidance Teleportation Array in the Abyss Ruins...

As for why Romantina was brought along?

Main reason:

Her Soul Skill served a detection function during her exploration of the Abyss Depths.

Secondary reasons:

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that following Zhou Qing would definitely bring more benefits, so she strongly urged Romantina to participate as well.

Finally, Romantina herself wanted to test the power of the deepest Ascension Curse in the Abyss Ruins —by forcibly holding her breath or adjusting the efficiency of her Soul Power, she could restore her Aura Field to a normal state, thus making her incompatible with the Aura Field of the Abyss Depths.

On her first trip to the Fourth Layer of the Abyss Ruins, Romantina secretly tried to ascend without telling Zhou Qing and the others.

That sour and refreshing——

For her, who was used to enduring pain physically, it wasn't as intense as she had imagined, to the point that Zhou Qing couldn't detect anything wrong with her at all.

"Arrive."

Having opened up the Inner Scenery World, Dugu Bo was able to truly fly. In just one hour, he led Zhou Qing and Romantina across hundreds of kilometers to Abyss Town, which is connected to the southwest coast of the Douluo Continent.

On the streets of Abyss Town, nearby residents curiously observed the three people who had suddenly appeared from the sky, their appearances quite different from their own.

Zhou Qing ignored it, took a deep breath, and felt the unusually rich Heaven and Earth Energy here compared to other places. He couldn't help but stretch.

"The Abyss People seem much busier than usual." Romantina turned her head and saw that across the street where they were standing, groups of Abyss People, shirtless and wearing helmets, were pushing sand and bricks toward the eastern edge of the Abyss Ruins.

It seems like they're going to build a church there?

"Perhaps it's related to the Spirit Hall."

Recalling his encounter with Qian Renxue on the Fourth Layer, Zhou Qing guessed and prepared to ask an acquaintance. He then led the two of them along the road signs to No. 720, Big Cave Street, Ruozhi Primary School.

"Ruozhi Academy?"

Upon learning that the text above the academy's gate, translated into the Soul Land Common Language, meant this, Dugu Bo chuckled, "Heh, quite interesting."

"This is a script that has disappeared from the outside world, and the pronunciation of the language is different from the Soul Land Common Language."

Zhou Qing offered an explanation for Dugu Bo, then suddenly teased Romantina, "Maybe your blonde hair and blue eyes are the result of your ancestors speaking a language similar to this Abyss Language."

"Ah?"

Romantina froze for a moment, then realized what she meant, her face flushed with anger, and said, "My ancestors are my ancestors, and I am me, what does it matter?"

Zhou Qing utterly despised this act of severing ties with one's ancestors.

But Romantina didn't care at all, after all, according to the meaning of this Abyss Script, the surname "Roman" could refer to a devout follower of Angel!

But is she Angel's Believer?

Absolutely not!

As a guardian knight not recognized by any official organization, what she protects is not the glory of Angel, nor the status of nobles, but the happiness of people!

"It's been a long time."

Abel was about to lead his students to explore the first level of the Abyss, saw Zhou Qing and Romantina and immediately remembered who they were.

It wasn't because they were the champions of the Finals —he wasn't interested in fighting— Riko was determined to go down to the first level so that she could be their guide to the Abyss Depths.

Therefore, Abel had an impression of Zhou Qing and Romantina.

"Mr. Abel, has anything major happened at the Abyss Ruins recently?"

I have to go with the word "Gongzi"...
