At this, Duanmu Chun nodded with utmost gravity and replied, "Yes. The Thousand Kings Holy Tower suddenly issued an order to the pawns: no matter what excuse or method they use, they must head to the Thousand Prison Tower two months from now."
As soon as he said this, Sikong Jing's gaze froze slightly as he continued to stare at Duanmu Chun...
The latter drew another breath and said, "Of course, it isn't an openly announced summons. Rather, every pawn has received nearly the same order. But from what we can see, it is a summons."
With Duanmu Chun's explanation, Sikong Jing understood at once.
In other words, every Thousand Prison Tower pawn had received an order to go to the Thousand Prison Tower.
Nearly every pawn operated independently, unaware of the others' existence. To the pawns, it was merely an individual order, but to the Thousand Kings Holy Tower, this was a gathering of its pawns.
Because Duanmu Chun could contact most of the pawns in the central Central Plains, the pawns would report this Thousand Kings order back to him.
Sikong Jing had long known that the Thousand Kings Holy Tower tested its pawns' loyalty at regular intervals. This large-scale summons surely meant some major mission was coming.
But before the Thousand Kings Holy Tower assigned its mission, it would certainly test their loyalty first.
"A-Jing, although the pawns are all people of deep loyalty and righteousness, and every pawn who agreed to join us possesses fierce fighting spirit..."
"Every Thousand Prison Tower pawn is different."
"Some, like Brother Jade Tower, are meticulous in thought and will not waver in the coming tests. But others may not endure the tests. When that happens, our effort to win over the Thousand Prison Tower pawns will surely be exposed."
