Chapter 5057 Ten Thousand Pieces
"Then let me share some information with you all. I have some information about the Extinction Division." Xiao Yan didn't say that he had already infiltrated their ranks, but instead spoke cryptically.

"They are extremely insane. As far as I know, though I cannot confirm the truth, we are all controlled by the Extinction Bureau. For example, the second one is a target of the Extinction Bureau's vertical pupils."

Xiao Yan had to reveal some truthful information, because if he told lies, they would be exposed sooner or later, and once that happened, the trust he had built would be lost.

He could conceal the fact that he was Jiu Gen, and he could fabricate stories during the meetings of the Extinction Division, but here, he had to tell the truth as much as possible while protecting his identity.

Xiao Yan only said two sentences, which was enough. He understood the principle of leaving room for maneuver in everything and not saying everything.

"Alright, the first round of speeches is now over. Everyone is free to speak now."

As Xiao Yan had predicted, Hua Can, whose stone tablet bore the number two, was the first to ask a question.

"Nine, explain yourself more clearly. Vertical pupils? Is that the name of the Extinction Division?"

Hua Can immediately asked, and if he hadn't asked, Xiao Yan would have been even more certain of his previous suspicions, because during the meeting of the Extinction Division, he had guessed that the vertical pupil was Hua Can.

But now it seems that this conjecture has been overturned. Of course, one sentence is not enough to completely dispel Xiao Yan's suspicions about him.

"And you could say that. Second, think about it carefully. When you saw the Masters of Extinction, didn't they have any special patterns on their masks?" Xiao Yan replied.

Hua Can paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, while the others remained silent, not uttering a word.

“Indeed, there is a pattern that looks like an eye.” Hua Can seemed hesitant about whether to reveal this information, not because he hadn’t noticed it.

“I have also seen the Master of Annihilation, but the Master of Annihilation I saw had a total of nine eyes on his mask,” Xiao Yan said. Indeed, when he first saw Jiu Gen, nine eyes appeared on the vortex mask, but now the mask was in Xiao Yan’s hands.

"Eight, do you remember if these patterns were present when the mask was forged?" Xiao Yan posed the question to Eight again, seemingly indicating that he only had this information and could not be completely certain.

"Yes, the reason I am certain that the forged item was used by the Master of Annihilation is that I recently saw the Master of Annihilation while I was forging it, and his mask had seven eye-like patterns on it."

Eight gave an answer, and Xiao Yan hissed coldly, these Extinction Divisions did not seem to have appeared out of thin air.

"What is the purpose of the masks? And what is special about the black robes they wear?" Xiao Yan asked, because the Zhang Mie Si came and went without a trace. Hua Can had chased after them, but it seemed that he had only destroyed the black robes and there was nothing else beneath them.

"This robe is the Phantom Robe, and the mask is the Deceptive Mask. The black robe can be controlled with the soul, while the mask has the ability to conceal one's aura," Ba replied to Xiao Yan's question.

"Eight, how many masks and black robes did you forge back then?" This question didn't come from Xiao Yan, but from Hua Can.

“There are nine masks in total, and about ten thousand black robes,” Ba replied.

Xiao Yan immediately hissed coldly. This answer explained why Hua Can only caught a phantom when he caught up with him; there was nothing under the black robe.

"If that's the case, finding this Extinction Division means eliminating ten thousand possibilities and searching among those ten thousand, which is practically impossible." Hua Can felt quite helpless.

"When I accepted the commission, I was nameless and ownerless, and was only responsible for relaying the message, so I didn't know that they were actually forged for the Extinction Division." Seven then stepped forward and said, otherwise it would be regarded as an accomplice of the Extinction Division.

Even though everyone had their doubts, no one spoke out, including Hua Can, who didn't make any unfounded speculations.

"Nine, do you know if there is one, multiple, or... countless heads of the Extinction Division?" Hua Can asked Xiao Yan.

"I can't be sure about this issue yet. I only found out by chance. However, I can try to find out more through my own means. If I find out, I will definitely let everyone know at the next meeting."

Xiao Yan did not answer directly. There were nine people in the Extinction Division meeting, including himself, but he could not answer now, otherwise he would have to prove his identity.

Even if an explanation is given at that time, it is unlikely that anyone will believe it.

After all, killing a leader of the Extinction Division and taking his place sounds absurd.

“I suspect that the Extinction Division is not some nonexistent entity, but perhaps a powerful being hidden in some world, using us as puppets for its amusement,” Ye Beijing said at this moment.

What she said, though crude, was true, because Xiao Yan knew that this group of Extinction Division members were only interested in toying with them.

"Are there really such amusement seekers?" Er didn't believe it.

“Of course, it’s just like the fish in a fishpond. They’re not raised to be eaten or to obtain anything. They’re just kept in captivity for enjoyment,” Ye Beijing said. Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this, as the profound meaning contained in her words was truly thought-provoking.

"Well said, you find pleasure in this." Xiao Yan said, expressing his agreement with Ye Beijing's words.

Secondly, they remained silent and did not respond. This meeting seemed to have unknowingly begun to uncover the identity of the Chief of Extermination.

Xiao Yan was also very curious about who the other eight leaders of the Extinction Division were besides himself!

Who could possess such power to stir up the winds and clouds of the Nine Realms? Is there another entity behind the Commander of Annihilation?

Or perhaps it was all an instruction from the "King," and they were simply following orders.

The discussion about the Extermination Bureau seemed to have paused there, and what followed were their respective requests.

Xiao Yan originally wanted to ask, but now that he had arrived in the Mountain and Sea World, he could find out the identities of the three fifth-level experts who attacked him by asking Xu Qian Taiyi alone.

"By the way, Wu, I've also arrived in the Mountain and Sea World," Ye Beijing suddenly said, causing Xiao Yan's eyelids to twitch slightly.

I thought Ye Beijing had left alone, perhaps giving up, but I didn't expect her to follow me.

"Alright, you can come to Dragon Origin Continent to find me." The five were open to all comers, though it seemed they already knew each other.

Yes, Xiao Yan had already discovered that, apart from him, it seemed that everyone in the meeting, while not everyone knew each other completely, had met some of them and had a general understanding of them.

"Fifth, I have inquired about Zhu Jiuyin's bloodline. It will not leave. I'm sorry," the third said slowly.

"It's alright, thank you for your help," Wu replied politely.

This place is filled with powerful figures from various worlds, and they all treat each other with great courtesy. Except for Hua Can, who is a bit domineering, but he also shows restraint here.
