Chapter 326: I Promise You

Seeing Zhu Lin losing her composure for the first time, Xiu Wu held her hand and asked, "Lin’er, do you know about that formation?"

Zhu Lin nodded, stared at the formation without blinking and said, "That is an ancient killing formation. The formation used by the Eleven Ancient Gods to kill the Devil God."

Hearing what she said, Xiu Wu grabbed her shoulders and asked urgently: "Why do you say it was used by the Eleven Ancient Gods instead of the Twelve Ancient Gods? Have you recovered your previous life memories?"

Zhu Lin was surprised by his big reaction and was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said hesitantly: "... Yes."

After receiving her answer, Xiu Wu trembled all over. When he almost cried, he hugged her tightly. Everyone around the table looked at the two of them with puzzled faces.

After a long silence, Tan Wei coughed and said awkwardly: "Lao Xiu, Xiao Lin, we still need to make a plan to stop this secret organization. Can you two continue later?"

Hearing this, Xiu Wu took a deep breath and let go of Zhu Lin. He looked directly into her eyes and whispered: "We will talk about this later."

She paused for a moment, nodded and said, "All right."

After the two of them separate, Lei Haozhan looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Miss Zhu, you said this is an ancient formation that is used to kill the Devil God. Besides this, do you know other functions of this formation? Because, there is obviously no Devil God in this world."

After he said that, Zhu Lin glanced at Xiu Wu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young Master Lei is right. There is another function of this ancient killing formation, and that is to open the gate of heaven. But it is impossible for a mortal to forcefully open the gate of heaven. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Tan Wei asked curiously.

"Unless they sacrifice something with enough power to forcefully open the gate of heaven." Zhu Lin said with a frown.

When Tan Wei saw her expression, he had a very bad premonition and asked, "What kind of sacrifice can generate enough power to open the gate of heaven?"

Zhu Lin looked at him and said seriously: "A world with very powerful energy. For example, this world that is filled with devil energy."

Upon hearing her answer, Lei Zhicheng clenched his hands and said, "It seems that he has already planned this for decades."

Seeing everyone’s gloomy expressions, Xiu Wu said, "It’s useless to talk about what has happened. We have only one choice left, which is to stop Lei Tiliang. We cannot bear the failure of this mission. Otherwise, we would all be dead at midnight."

Lei Haozhan nodded and said, "Now that we know the location of those high-ranked zombies, I will go there and release them."

Teng Bai raised his hand and said, "I will go with you. It’s too dangerous for zombies to go there since we don’t know how they control those high-ranked zombies."

Hearing what he said, Lei Haozhan agreed. He looked at Chen Jianhong and said, "Jianhong, you will lead the others to sneak into the headquarters and destroy everything inside."

Chen Jianhong nodded and said, "Yes, Boss."

Looking at them, Xiu Wu said, "I will lead a team to kill Lei Tiliang."

After assigning tasks to everyone, they left the office to prepare. When the sun disappeared into the west horizon, they left the base camp.

Sitting in one of the military cars, Xiu Wu held Zhu Lin’s hand and whispered: "Lin’er, if we can’t stop Lei Tiliang, you must leave this world when the gate of heaven opens."

Hearing his words, Zhu Lin looked at him and said, "I will not abandon you."

Looking at her firm eyes, Xiu Wu smiled helplessly. He pulled her close, kissed her forehead, and whispered softly: "Be obedient. When I ask you to leave, you must leave. Don’t look back."

"But–"

Before she could say she didn’t want to leave him, Xiu Wu sealed her lips and kissed her deeply. Tan Wei who was sitting in the passenger seat glanced at them in the rearview mirror and sighed. He also wanted to have a girlfriend before he died. Unfortunately, his love life is drier than the desert.

After a long kiss, Xiu Wu hugged her and whispered: "If I die here, I will return to the Six Realms. But Lin’er, if you die here, you will really die. I don’t want to lose you for a second time. Please promise me that you will leave without looking back."

Listening to his trembling voice, Zhu Lin was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "All right. I promise you."

After getting her promise, Xiu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. There are still four hours until midnight, and everyone is already waiting at their positions. Wu Yichen hid near the headquarters of the secret organization while using his eyesight and detection ability to observe the surrounding situation.

When he saw several cars parked in front of the headquarters, he said through the communication device: "The target is back. I repeat, the target is back."

After saying that, he saw Lei Tiliang get out of a car and walk into the secret place. After they entered the secret place, Wu Yichen said, "The target has entered the secret place."

Just a few seconds after he finished speaking, Xiu Wu’s deep and magnetic voice came from the communication device: "Let’s begin."

Following his words, everyone separated and went to perform their own mission. Seeing his comrades going in different directions, Wu Yichen said, "I hope we will not fail."

While the people from the Wu Lin base and high-ranked zombies sneaked into the secret place and the headquarters, Lei Tiliang and the core members of the secret organization went to a large stargazing platform built on the back mountain near the headquarters through an underground tunnel.
