As they chatted and laughed, the mist gradually thickened, gently enveloping the stone table and the three figures. Only the crisp clink of cups and the occasional burst of hearty laughter remained.
At that moment, the Steward Tokens hanging at all three of their waists suddenly lit up with dazzling Golden Light.
Ancient patterns flowed rapidly across them as a dignified, steady voice rang out from the tokens, instantly shattering the Tea Garden's tranquility. "Stop drinking! The whereabouts of the forty-five Emperor Evil hidden agents concealed in Starfall City have all been located. Assemble at Venus Hall immediately. No delays!"
It was an order from the Venus Tower Master.
"Well, it hasn't even been an hour..."
Gu Hanshuang shook his head helplessly and lightly tapped his Steward Token with a fingertip. A faint golden teleportation glow immediately spread around him.
Li Xuanba also put away his earlier relaxed demeanor, his expression turning stern as pitch-black Indestructible Vitality enveloped his body.
Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately activated his Steward Token as well. The three figures vanished into the mist almost simultaneously, leaving behind only the Teacups still steaming on the stone table and the lingering fragrance of tea.
Lin Yi had already had some idea about this emergency summons.
While they had been drinking tea earlier, Li Xuanba had briefly mentioned the Tower Master interrogating the Nine-headed Evil Python and tracking down the hidden agents. He simply had not expected it to happen so soon.
Within Venus Hall, golden radiance filled the air as the great formation on the ceiling slowly revolved, emanating a heavy pressure.
Besides the three White Tiger Captain executives, there were unexpectedly three additional figures in the hall.
All three wore spirit robes of interwoven azure and purple, with coiling Azure Dragon patterns embroidered along their hems.
