Chapter 1625: Chapter 957: Entering the Island
Under the cover of night, Liang Yuan and his group arrived at Celestial Dog Island.
On Celestial Dog Island, it was hard to say there weren’t spies from the likes of Jiang Wenbin, Lu Yuanshan and other forces, so everyone transferred to a secret base under the concealment of Liang Yuan’s Shadow Ability without waiting to disembark the spaceship.
The entire process was silent and unnoticed by anyone.
Then, Hong Tianyi personally took Liang Yuan to inspect the Sealing Array, as a final step to prevent any possible leaks.
After completing all of this, Liang Yuan and the others went back to rest, waiting for dawn.
When dawn arrived, Hong Tianyi had already sent people to invite Lu Yuanshan and Jiang Wenbin.
As they received the meeting notice, both Lu Yuanshan and Jiang Wenbin pondered for a moment, but did not immediately set out for Celestial Dog Island. Lu Yuanshan first led his men to Jiang Wenbin’s island.
“Brother Bin, did you receive the message from Hong Tianyi?” Lu Yuanshan asked immediately upon arrival.
Jiang Wenbin nodded slightly, his voice solemn: “I had a premonition last night that he might take action today.”
“What? Last night?” Lu Yuanshan was surprised and couldn’t help but ask: “How did you know?”
“My people saw Wang Zhiyuan going alone into Hong Tianyi’s Celestial Dog Island.”
“Wang Zhiyuan went alone to see Hong Tianyi? Are they plotting something? Could it be detrimental to us?”
Jiang Wenbin shook his head slightly: “That shouldn’t be the case. Wang Zhiyuan has always been close to Hong Tianyi, so meeting in advance is normal.”
“However, I suspect that their meeting might plan some attacks on Divine Country, and they might shove some tough tasks onto us.”
“You mean, they communicated beforehand, and during strategic arrangements, they might make us cannon fodder?” Lu Yuanshan was not foolish and promptly guessed this.
Jiang Wenbin nodded: “That’s the trick we pulled last time, otherwise how did we get Hou Jianjun to deal with Kerry Technology Company?”
“Since we can do it, they can naturally do it too.”
“It’s just pre-meeting communication and voting during the meeting.”
“If that’s the case, then the situation is very unfavorable for us.” Lu Yuanshan frowned.
Jiang Wenbin sneered suddenly: “Don’t worry, take it one step at a time. Even if Hong Tianyi wants to deal with us, handing over the most troublesome enemies of Divine Country, do we really need to act?”
Lu Yuanshan understood as soon as he heard this, his eyes brightened: “You mean, put on an act like last time?”
Jiang Wenbin smiled: “Enough, you know the drill. Don’t talk about it—let’s go and see what tricks they have up their sleeves at Celestial Dog Island this time.”
With that, the two immediately gathered their troops and headed straight for Celestial Dog Island.
Last time during the attack on Divine Country, Hong Tianyi arranged for their two forces to hold off six of Divine Country’s Twelve Apostles.
Those six apostles from the Divine Country were no pushovers. Though their gene recombination progress wasn’t as advanced, combined with the Sealing Array, they could fight many with few.
But Jiang Wenbin and Lu Yuanshan pretended to be unable to fight, preserved their strength, and let these six apostles escape, later joining Shangdi to team up against Hong Tianyi.
As a result, Hong Tianyi was injured, leading to the failure of the last siege of Divine Country forces.
Afterward, Hong Tianyi naturally questioned the two, but they firmly denied any tricks, leaving Hong Tianyi without recourse.
This time, if Hong Tianyi plans to target them, by arranging some excessive tasks, they wouldn’t mind putting on another show of feigned ineffectiveness.
With many thoughts in mind, the two quickly arrived at Celestial Dog Island.
Just before entering Celestial Dog Island, they saw Hou Jianjun and Wang Zhiyuan waiting outside.
Upon seeing Hou Jianjun, Jiang Wenbin’s mind stirred, and he exchanged a look with Lu Yuanshan.
Jiang Wenbin quickly transmitted: “Let’s see if we can win over Hou Jianjun this time.”
Lu Yuanshan transmitted back: “It might be difficult, last time he got tricked into going south to deal with Kerry Technology.”
Jiang Wenbin said: “Different times call for different measures. At least, the old man hasn’t fully sided with Hong Tianyi yet.”
Lu Yuanshan nodded slightly: “Let’s give it a try.”
At that moment, their vigilance was entirely focused on the upcoming meeting, without considering the possible immediate danger upon entering the island.
The four factions finally met, each maintaining a smile, greeting each other.
However, in reality, each was planning how to best the other.
Hou Jianjun had little expression on his face, yet he lamented internally, wondering how such a Jingzhou Army could ever rise in this apocalypse.
Wang Zhiyuan secretly chuckled to himself, you two second-generation, once you enter Celestial Dog Island, it will be the end for you!
“You both arrived quite early.” Jiang Wenbin said with a smile.
Wang Zhiyuan replied indifferently: “Not as privileged as you two, accustomed to waking up early and staying busy.”
Lu Yuanshan glanced at Wang Zhiyuan, his face flashing with disdain: “Serves you right for having a laborious fate. Why didn’t you just keep watch outside Celestial Dog Island last night?”
Wang Zhiyuan’s eyes flared with anger: “Lu, you want a fight?”
“Afraid of you? My Fire Element is undoubtedly more than capable of dealing with your Thunder Element!”
“You damn, go ahead and try!”
The two began cursing each other, while Jiang Wenbin and Hou Jianjun hurriedly mediated the situation.
This kind of squabble seemed routine; conversely, if the two met without arguing, Jiang Wenbin would be suspicious.
Sure enough, Wang Zhiyuan purposely stirred trouble to maintain his persona and conduct.
As a result, this quarreling did not raise suspicions from the others, instead easing their guard considerably.
Hou Jianjun spoke up: “Everyone, it’s getting late, General Hong is still waiting for us—let’s go.”
With that, he proactively took Wang Zhiyuan and flew towards Celestial Dog Island.
Witnessing this, Jiang Wenbin spoke to Lu Yuanshan: “Let’s go.”
Lu Yuanshan stared at Wang Zhiyuan’s back, sneered and cursed: “A bumpkin, thinking awakening a superpower makes him capable of dominating? Look at him playing the lap dog, still Hong Tianyi’s guard dog at the doorstep?”
Jiang Wenbin laughed: “There’s no point talking to someone like him, let’s go.”
The two immediately followed them onto Celestial Dog Island ahead.
They completely missed that Hou Jianjun and Wang Zhiyuan were discreetly keeping them under surveillance.
Seeing them stepping onto the island, Hou Jianjun and Wang Zhiyuan exchanged a glance, a knowing smile appeared on both their faces.
At that moment, the two accelerated quickly, spurring Jiang Wenbin and Lu Yuanshan to unknowingly increase their speed and enter the island.
Having visited Celestial Dog Island a few times, they had a general understanding of the situation here.
Jiang Wenbin instinctively surveyed the island’s surroundings, not noticing any obvious changes.
He frowned slightly, maintaining his silence.
Noticing this, Lu Yuanshan asked: “Brother Bin, what are you thinking?”
“For some reason, I have this lingering sense of unease.”
Jiang Wenbin murmured softly.
Lu Yuanshan was surprised: “Why?”
Jiang Wenbin shook his head: “I can’t really say.”
“Forget it, let’s go in and talk.”
“Alright.”
The two, along with their men, quickly entered the conference hall.
As soon as they entered, Jiang Wenbin looked up and saw Hong Tianyi at the front.
His gaze then swept to Wang Zhiyuan standing at a position on the left side.
Hou Jianjun was stationed near the door.
The three positions seemed normal—Wang Zhiyuan being close to Hong Tianyi and Hou Jianjun being independent at the door were logically acceptable.
But Jiang Wenbin felt something off.
After Lu Yuanshan and his group entered, the room immediately became crowded.
Jiang Wenbin roughly scanned around, the room surprisingly filled with a hundred or more people!
He suddenly realized what was amiss.
Too many attendees for today’s meeting!
Usually, meeting attendance totals up to just fifty or sixty people.
This time it had doubled, even more!
And among this crowd, there were many unfamiliar faces!
Alarm bells went off in Jiang Wenbin’s mind, and he stopped immediately.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Zhiyuan give him a cold smile.
The next moment, Hong Tianyi waved his hand and shouted: “Activate the array!”
