234: Baili Pangpang? Just a tool

Anta County seemed colder this year.

However, the icy cold wind could not deter people's enthusiasm for rebuilding their homes.

Anta County was originally a small county in terms of population, so rebuilding it was even more convenient.

Coupled with the believers who possessed Forbidden Territory abilities, these refugees quickly found shelter, and their basic living needs were met.

Meanwhile, in Hedao City on the opposite bank, people who smelled business opportunities began driving various vehicles to transport supplies.

Although the Night Watchers had warned the people of Hedao City about the danger on the opposite bank before they left,

as soon as the Night Watchers left, these people immediately began to act.

In the face of profit, danger was merely an investment risk.

Especially after a few days of contact, the people on the opposite bank discovered that these New Ancient God Church members were surprisingly easy to get along with and never delayed payments.

How could these be cultists? They were clearly Reincarnations of kind-hearted people!

Everyone there was talented and spoke nicely. In the past two days, quite a few people had even come over from the other side, asking to join the New Ancient God Church.

Song Zhong, of course, welcomed all these people.

As for the location of the New Ancient God Church's temple, Song Zhong had also chosen an address.

It was on a desolate piece of land on the outskirts of Anta County, which used to be a mass grave and was rumored to be haunted at night.

“Lord Song Zhong, are you sure you want to choose this location for the temple?” Shen Qingzhu looked at the small piece of land, somewhat puzzled.

“Won't this place be a bit unlucky?”

“Do you think anyone could be more ominous than me?” Song Zhong said.

Shen Qingzhu gave an awkward laugh, then said, “Lord Song Zhong, is Bai Li Pang Pang still alive?”

Song Zhong nodded, “Bai Li Xin won't let him die.”

“Ah? Isn't that normal? Bai Li Xin is his father.”

Shen Qingzhu, of course, knew the famous Baili Group's CEO, Bai Li Xin.

Song Zhong shook his head, “We were all wrong.”

“Lord Song Zhong, what do you mean by that?”

“At first, I didn't pay attention to this richest man in Daxia, until I saw some things in Yue Huai's mind.”

Shen Qingzhu didn't know what was happening, but he suddenly felt a chill.

“Lord Song Zhong, are you saying Bai Li Xin is colluding with the Ancient God Church?”

Shen Qingzhu's mind raced. This information was simply too explosive.

One must know that Bai Li Xin was not only the richest man in Daxia but also one of the Night Watchers' financial backers.

Over the years, the Baili Family had not only provided a large amount of financial support to the Night Watchers, but more importantly, the project of developing artificial forbidden items had always been led by the Baili Family.

Moreover, although the Baili Family had not entered the high ranks of the Night Watchers, they had close financial ties with many high-ranking officials.

It could be said without exaggeration that in some matters, even Ye Fan had to consider the Baili Family's opinion.

The Baili Family, praised as a national protector enterprise, was actually colluding with the Ancient God Church.

Shen Qingzhu didn't dare to think further. If he dug deeper, would those high-ranking officials also have some unspeakable secrets?

But thankfully, several pillars of the Ancient God Church had already been eliminated by Lord Song Zhong.

Without Yue Huai, the human ceiling, the remaining members of the Ancient God Church were just a disorganized mob.

However, Bai Li Pang Pang...

Shen Qingzhu grew increasingly worried. He quickly asked, “Lord Song Zhong, what is the relationship between Bai Li Xin and Yue Huai?”

Song Zhong placed his hand on Shen Qingzhu's head and softly said, “Close your eyes and feel with your heart.”

Shen Qingzhu calmed himself. With a ripple of Mental Energy, a series of images appeared in Shen Qingzhu's mind.

Commercial Tripod, human sacrifices, “Mental Capsule”, immortality...

Words like hot irons branded themselves into Shen Qingzhu's mind.

“What exactly does Bai Li Xin want to do? The Baili Family is actually operating such a dark and bloody industry behind the scenes.”

Shen Qingzhu trembled with anger.

The so-called human sacrifices were a group of humans raised by the Baili Family in a secret location.

They were then processed into “Mental Capsules” using the artificial forbidden item, the Commercial Tripod.

The Night Watchers shed their blood and sweat for Daxia to protect the safety of their Daxia compatriots.

But the Baili Family, behind the scenes, was doing such a despicable thing.

“Aren't you curious where these human sacrifices come from?” Song Zhong said softly.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, “Kidnapping, orphanages?”

“That's right, it's human trafficking. To achieve his fantasy of immortality, Bai Li Xin secretly supported many forces.

The only task of these forces was to maintain the number of human sacrifices.

Of course, these forces had no apparent connection to the Baili Family.”

Shen Qingzhu clenched his fists, his molars grinding.

He himself came from an orphanage. He knew how pitiful the children there were.

Having already lost their parents, they were still coveted by these scumbags.

“But, no matter how secretive he was, it's impossible for there to be no rumors at all.

So many children go missing every year...”

Song Zhong smiled slightly, “So, guess why the Baili Family has always been safe and sound all these years?”

“Could it be...” Shen Qingzhu's mouth remained open for a long time.

Song Zhong continued, “Think about it, even a sensitive team like the Training Camp instructors could be infiltrated by the Ancient God Church.

Shen Qingzhu, the problems within the Night Watchers are far more complex than you imagine.”

After hearing all this, Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but worry.

Did Bai Li Pang Pang know about these things?

No, he definitely didn't know.

Given Bai Li Pang Pang's personality, if he knew about such things, he would definitely prevent the tragedy from happening, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

He wouldn't just watch the Baili Family fall into the abyss.

But there was one problem: since Bai Li Pang Pang didn't know about these things, it must have been intentional on Bai Li Xin's part.

As the heir of the Baili Family, Bai Li Xin had excluded his own son.

Suddenly, Shen Qingzhu remembered something.

Bai Li Pang Pang had once mentioned in a casual conversation that he used to have a younger brother.

Shen Qingzhu's brows gradually furrowed into a frown.

Tiny goosebumps crawled up Shen Qingzhu's back, and a chilling feeling of dread arose.

It seemed that Bai Li Pang Pang's situation in the Baili Family was not as stable as everyone imagined.

“It seems you've already guessed some things,” Song Zhong said.

“Lord Song Zhong, what exactly is Bai Li Pang Pang's role in the Baili Family?” Shen Qingzhu asked, believing that Song Zhong must know some secrets.

Song Zhong smiled calmly and slowly uttered a sentence.

Shen Qingzhu's pupils constricted, and an emotion called anger instantly swept through his mind.

A violent wind surrounded him, and the Forbidden Territory [Qi Min] activated on its own.

Song Zhong's words lingered in Shen Qingzhu's heart, unable to dissipate.

“To Bai Li Xin, he is just a tool.”
