Chapter 972 Bad news! All dead?
……
Another two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
It should have been three hours since the start of the plan, but there is still no news.
Zheng Tao obviously felt that something was wrong.
It is impossible that there is no news for so long.
But the problem is that there is no news now. Could it be that something went wrong?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
In the past three days, the plans of the assassins were quite smooth, and there were no abnormalities.
As long as they were carried out according to the plan, there should be no problems.
It is possible that the opponent's fierce counterattack caused the time delay.
It must be like this.
Now I can only wait a little longer. When the mission is completed, I will come back naturally.
At this time, Zheng Tao can only comfort himself like this.
After a while, a disheveled figure staggered in Zheng Tao's field of vision.
Judging from the clothes on the other party, it is clear that they are assassins from the Rakshasa Palace.
Since they are from the Rakshasa Palace, could it be that there is something wrong with the assassins I sent out?
His heart suddenly bulged, and Zheng Tao hurried over.
This staggering killer was the only survivor that Ye Yun mentioned.
The other inner killers had all died in various cities.
Now their bodies had even been disposed of, leaving nothing behind.
Zheng Tao quickly came to the killer's side, and noticed that the other party was covered in scars, and his heart suddenly sank.
Could it be... something really happened? !
Zheng Tao quickly supported the other party and asked impatiently.
"Hey! What's the situation now? What happened?!
Why are you the only one back? Where are the others?!"
Zheng Tao didn't care about the other party's injuries at this time, he just wanted to know what the current situation was.
The killer he supported looked pale and responded weakly.
"Ahem! Elder Zheng, we...we were ambushed.
There are not only people from the Slaughter Palace in the city, but also...and...ahem!"
"And what? You tell me!"
When Zheng Tao heard that he was ambushed, he was immediately disappointed.
He felt more and more uneasy.
Could it be that the assassins from the Rakshasa Palace that he had sent out had been wiped out? !
If that was the case, then he, the commander, would be held extremely responsible.
"And there are assassins from the Sky Net! We...we were...encircled and suppressed by these two forces.
I tried my best to escape and pass the news to you, Elder!"
This assassin was very skillful in speaking.
He even said shamelessly that he had escaped with all his strength.
But the truth was not the case at all.
He was simply released back, and no one killed him, but just kept him alive to pass on the news.
But in his mouth, it was he who escaped with all his strength.
The reason why he said this was, of course, to survive.
If he said that he was released, he didn't think he would have a chance to survive, and he might be killed on the spot.
For his own safety, he told this white lie.
"What?! Those guys from Tianluodiwang are also here?!"
Zheng Tao took a few steps back unconsciously, his face full of astonishment.
He never expected that things would develop like this, which was completely beyond his expectations.
The Killing Palace and Tianluodiwang have actually started cooperation.
The cooperation between the two parties is so harmonious, it is very likely that they have cooperated from the beginning, but he just didn't know it.
He was tricked by the other party!
After reacting, Zheng Tao suddenly felt dizzy, barely holding up his body, Zheng Tao asked with a gloomy face.
"What else? Where are the other assassins from Luosha Palace? Are they all...?!"
Hearing this, the injured assassin nodded with difficulty.
"I'm afraid... everyone else... is in danger."
A thunderclap exploded in his head, and Zheng Tao was like a deflated ball.
The development of things has completely exceeded his expectations. This is completely different from what he thought.
Why is this happening? !
Shouldn't the plan go smoothly?
Even if the Killing Palace cooperates with the Tianluodiwang, how can they know the actions of the Rakshasa Palace clearly?
Or is it that the other party's intelligence network is already so powerful that it is unimaginable!
If it weren't for such a powerful intelligence network, it would be impossible to make the situation on his side clear in advance.
Now it's meaningless to think about these things. Zheng Tao only knows one thing, that is, he is in big trouble.
As long as he thinks of this, what he will face next, Zheng Tao can't help trembling.
This time, almost all the assassins sent by the Rakshasa Palace were confessed here.
He really can't imagine how angry the Rakshasa Palace Master will be.
Just thinking about it makes him feel scared.
What to do?
When the two attendants around Zheng Tao noticed that Zheng Tao was trembling slightly, one of them asked cautiously.
"Elder, now...what should we do?"
Even if this incident, Zheng Tao will bear the main responsibility.
But as Zheng Tao's servants, they may not have a good ending.
Perhaps what awaits them will be a very harsh punishment, or even... death.
Just thinking about it, they have an inexplicable fear in their hearts, hoping that Zheng Tao can give a good solution.
In any case, the other party is an inner sect elder, and there may be a chance to avoid the consequences of this incident.
However, what they don't know is that the consequences of this incident are too serious.
Even Zheng Tao can't afford the loss this time.
Once this matter is reported back to the Rakshasa Palace, there is only one end waiting for Zheng Tao.
To die to apologize!
There will be no second option.
This is why Zheng Tao's body is shaking.
He is afraid!
How can he not be afraid?
If this mission fails, together with the punishment for the previous failure to deal with the Tianluodiwang, Zheng Tao will die.
Zheng Tao lowered his head slightly, his eyes were full of gloom, and he had to find a way to survive.
Anyway, things have come to this point now. There is no point in thinking about these things. The most important thing is to survive.
At worst, he can betray Luosha Palace. Even if he is hunted by many assassins of Luosha Palace, he still has a chance to survive.
If he reports the news, he will die faster.
In contrast, Zheng Tao has made a decision in his heart.
Betray Luosha Palace!
As for where he can go after betraying Luosha Palace, he has not thought about it yet.
The most important thing is to stay alive first, and the rest are things that need to be considered later.
