Upon discovering that it was a Talisman Signal from the missing Ye Zhen, Jian Qianxiong nearly shot to his feet in shock.
Yet the composure of one in power still allowed him to suppress his delight without a flicker of expression. Even so, after reading the contents of the Talisman Signal, his entire body could not help but tremble slightly!
A tremor of joy!
"I already know Myriad Stars Tower's entire plan for tonight. I have found Qingyue's whereabouts. Help me stall for time. Also, pull back the Sun Moon Divine Cult's search teams, lest we startle the snake in the grass..."
This was only part of Ye Zhen's Talisman Signal, yet it gave Jian Qianxiong a feeling as though a heavy burden had been lifted.
Although there was still no definite news of Feng Qingyue, at least there was now a lead!
In all his life, the person Jian Qianxiong had wronged most was this daughter of his!
The relief in his eyes flashed by in an instant, replaced by an agonized and grave expression. Jian Qianxiong almost seemed to ask in unbearable pain, "What will it take for you to release my daughter? Name your terms!"
Hearing this, Yan Wuji, who had been lowering his head to sip tea, abruptly looked up. A faint delight surfaced on his aged face. "What, Cult Master Jian? Have you come around?"
With a long sigh, Jian Qianxiong said, "Some things, once lost, can never be recovered..." That agonized expression did not resemble someone who had just received Ye Zhen's Talisman Signal in the slightest.
If Ye Zhen had been here, even he would likely have marveled at just how deep the scheming of Jian Qianxiong, the master of an entire cult, truly ran.
He could probably have been an award-winning actor.
