No.4's heart was completely calm, a picture of serenity, appearing no different from usual on the surface.

After his return, No.1 seemed inactive on the outside, yet secretly he was sensing the ominous aura and curse attached to him without much concealment.

Unfortunately, the rune on his chest, along with its aura, apart from lacking substantial power, was indeed indistinguishable from the real thing.

Anyone who checked, would find the same result.

He wouldn't live long, and having made a significant contribution, No.1 was unlikely to mind letting him take the lead.

Blocking a dying man offered not the slightest benefit.

In the White Water Egg organization, there would also be many common issues of such organizations, and it was an absolute impossibility for everyone to be united, nor did the subordinates wish to climb up.

Using this dying man to smoothly execute a plan was absolutely a safe bet.

In the future, whoever was to be promoted could use him as a benchmark.

An apparent path to promotion, yet it could legitimately block the way for others, allowing for better control over the whole organization.

No.4 talked a lot with Yu Ziqing, and only now realized that although Yu Ziqing did not like these matters, he understood them very well.

His smooth meeting with Wig White Water Egg and personal reporting were all under control.

Does No.1 not suspect him?

He does suspect; precisely because of the suspicion, he directly sent him to report to Wig White Water Egg.

On one hand, it provided an opportunity for the subordinate, on the other, it served as a scapegoat if something went wrong.

But at Wig White Water Egg, whether No.4 had issues became insignificant.

Knowing the crucial intelligence No.4 brought back, which pinpointed the enemy he was looking for, was enough.

As for whether No.4 was pretending to defect, he cared not for such details.

He originally suspected that the person he sought was connected to Jinlan Mountain.

Even to Jinlan Mountain's Qing Ziyu.

He personally had met Qing Ziyu, who was cultivating God; while this open Refining God was basically Hungry Ghost Dao, which was no secret that even White Water Egg could uncover.

Furthermore, he was also cultivating Body Dao.

His foundation was extremely solid, and it couldn't possibly be from an unorthodox way.

There had to be a true expert carefully guiding him and pointing out directions, which made his foundation immensely strong and stable, indicative of not taking a wrong step.

Cultivating Hungry Ghost Dao in human form at such a young age without mishaps was absolutely not the work of an unorthodox path.

Now, there was also that special summoning rune.

Proving that Jinlan Mountain harbored an Earth Deity who practiced Earth Deity Dao to an exceptionally high degree.

He didn't know where this Earth Deity came from; lacking the Divine Dynasty foundation and investiture, where did the Earth Deity come from.

Moreover, why would an Earth Deity be so strong, completely inconsistent with the present era.

Yet gathering previous intelligence revealed that someone from Jinlan Mountain had resolved several of Dadui's sealed disasters.

And indeed, Dadui had a very powerful Earth Deity.

All collated information inevitably related to Jinlan Mountain.

This person was definitely from Jinlan Mountain.

No other place could meet all the conditions.

Previously, Jinlan Mountain was his only primary suspect.

Now it was merely confirmed.

Wig White Water Egg was somewhat anxious, caring little about the True Dragon that emerged in the East Sea anymore.

The True Dragon was manageable; in the current situation, it couldn't possibly grow.

But Jinlan Mountain's individual, once the Tenth Tier path opened, even if his True Body descended, the outcome would still be uncertain.

The ability to manifest three paths indicated those paths had been cultivated to very high levels, and he didn't know how the other party managed it.

But if so, with no significant Great Realm disparities, considering his consecutive injuries and contaminated abilities, even his True Body might not be a match then.

And with Shi's name resurfacing, the human race's Refining God Path becoming stable, it implicated Wen Jun.

Continuing on, there might be more unforeseen changes.

He truly couldn't wait; something had to be done before the Tenth Tier path opened to resolve these matters.

Promoting No.4, who returned with crucial information, was normal development.

He even personally made decisions, sparing no effort, that whatever intelligence White Water Egg could obtain, any questions asked could freely be disclosed to earn trust.

As long as more critical intelligence could be gained, it was worth it.

After meeting Wig White Water Egg, No.1 did not retract the rights previously given to No.4.

Even due to No.2's absence and No.3's demise, he had to value No.4 even more.

The truly necessary power like No.5, No.7, No.10, had been dispatched early and weren't in the headquarters at all.

All their files had been preemptively collected to ensure non-exposure.

The remaining files were merely a precautionary set of fake files, such as the previous generation's No.5, No.7, No.10.

It was No.4's first time at the new headquarters, but after just a walk around, he understood this place wasn't set up just recently.

A backup headquarters might have been prepared here long ago.

Only the previous headquarters was extremely convenient and safe enough, so it was always used.

No.4 released all the people he brought back.

No.1 recently had too many matters to handle and extensive follow-up affairs to manage, leaving this place to No.4.

Because No.4 had just rescued these people, it would be more convenient for him to manage.

No.4 looked at the remaining White Water Eggs, matching each with their respective files in his mind, and began making arrangements.
