Chapter 617: Chapter 617: The Opposer

Ji Yang introduced Guan Kun to Le Qin and never inquired about their matters again.

Of course, Ji Yang was just putting on an act; he did not want Guan Kun to expose his relationships with various forces.

Although he had a certain influence over these groups, and everyone knew he could come and go freely within their domains—which the domestic authorities were definitely aware of—he still wanted to show that he merely had good relationships with them without affecting their capabilities.

As for how they discussed matters, Ji Yang didn’t inquire further.

Although Ji Yang refrained from questioning, after Guan Kun left, Le Qin and the high-ranking officials of the Redstone Army secretly met with him.

"Mr. Ji, we have come across some weapons and equipment," Le Qin said with a smile.

"Alright, I don’t care how you got the equipment. Just handle it well. Who will you appoint as the commander of the Allied Army?"

The choice was crucial; the potential candidate needed abilities in various aspects. Although Le Qin had more experience, Ji Yang did not want him to take up the role, considering the young man’s past record.

Le Qin clearly understood Ji Yang’s inclination and said, "We think Gu Juetun is suitable."

Ji Yang looked towards Gu Juetun, previously from the Redstone Army, whom he had personally promoted. From what he knew, this person had always been serious about his work.

When Ji Yang glanced at him, his Divine Sense swept over him, only to discover that this individual had some resistance towards him in his consciousness.

Interesting!

Logically, since Gu Juetun was personally promoted by him, he should be loyal and supportive. Yet, his consciousness revealed otherwise.

"Mr. Ji." Gu Juetun was a scheming individual. He had been enduring the fact that Ji Yang had turned the Redstone Army into its current state. He harbored a secret unknown to others—he had always been a plant from the West within the Redstone Army, specially trained to take control. Unfortunately, Ji Yang had emerged and disrupted the Redstone Army.

Under his calculated actions, he indeed gained Ji Yang’s trust and became a leader of a certain force. Although their group wasn’t directly a faction, it was on a managerial level. Under his leadership, the force grew rapidly. This time, with Ji Yang away, he planned to raise his banner and seize control of the original Redstone Army.

Gu Juetun also planned to take over the forces of Le Qin and others. Controlling so many groups would give him the possibility to rebel.

This time, through his maneuvers, he had truly gained support from various factions and was about to become the leader of the alliance.

Now, he only needed Ji Yang’s approval. With Ji Yang’s consent, he would officially secure his position as the leader.

Gu Juetun’s mind was now brimming with numerous ideas, even contemplating eliminating Ji Yang.

What he did not realize was that all these thoughts had entered Ji Yang’s mind.

Ji Yang had initially intended to casually agree; unexpectedly, Gu Juetun harbored such thoughts, so his Divine Sense swept over the crowd.

This scan really made him discover two more individuals with opposing consciousness.

It seemed many of the newly promoted individuals didn’t regard him highly!

Having made these discoveries, Ji Yang was at a loss for words.
