To Tang Zhen, the person behind the scenes was just a pawn worth mentioning, and compared to the entire invasion war, it was even more insignificant.
If he hadn't mastered the secret of the Land of Souls, Tang Zhen would have been able to capture him the first time they met.
Those superficial tricks seemed extremely ridiculous to Tang Zhen.
The subsequent series of events were just for the sake of safety, so as not to affect the plan to invade the land of souls.
Once the plan is completed, the person behind the scenes will have no use value. Since the two sides have met, Tang Zhen has no chance of letting him go.
With his strength, he can make the opponent disappear into ashes in an instant with just a move of his fingers.
But what the person in charge behind the scenes did unexpectedly saved his life.
Just because he helped many monks in distress and resettled them properly, Tang Zhen had no reason to kill him.
For Tang Zhen, even the lives of a hundred Trobo people were not as important as the life of one Loucheng monk.
Even if the person behind the scenes said this deliberately to save his life, so what?
As long as this thing is true, Tang Zhen is not interested in knowing what the other party's original purpose was. All he wants is the result.
If the other party dared to deceive him about this kind of thing, Tang Zhen would definitely drain his soul and refine his blood, crushing his bones and scattering his ashes, even if he went to the ends of the earth.
"The blood of the Soul-Eating Beast you obtained from me previously, apart from entering the land of souls, is its main use for breaking this barrier, right?"
Tang Zhen took two steps forward, looked at the circle drawn with the blood of the Soul-Eating Beast in front of him, and asked the person behind the scenes.
"Yes, that's what I thought at the time. Except for the blood of the soul-eating beast, nothing can break the cage.
It's just that I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to sneak in here. All ten clones were killed by the guards. Even I had a narrow escape to get here.
As a result, the soul-eating beast's blood is insufficient, and I am helpless."
The person behind the scenes sighed softly, Youdao is not as good as God. Even if he tried his best, he would still be one step behind in the end.
Tang Zhen snorted softly and pointed at the person behind the scenes, but didn't say much.
The other party is also smart. If he had told the truth earlier, how could there have been so many twists and turns?
"You take a step back and leave the matter here to me."
When the person behind the scenes heard this, he quickly withdrew from Laoyuan, and then kept looking at it with concern on his face.
He was unable to break open the cage only because he had too little Soul-Eating Beast blood, but it was easy for Tang Zhen.
Putting his hand on the cage, the soul-eating beast's innate ability was activated. In the eyes of the person behind the scenes, the indestructible cage disappeared in an instant like snow thrown into a furnace.
What appeared next in front of Tang Zhen's eyes were thousands of stupid Trobo people. Their souls had been imprisoned for too long and were now completely ossified.
After Tang Zhen glanced at it, he turned to look at the person behind the scenes who came over, frowning slightly and said: "They have become like this now, how can you help them leave? Is there any other means?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang Zhen, I was already prepared before I came here.
It is estimated that in about two hours, the device I prepared in advance will be started and the soul data will be automatically downloaded at the same time.
As for their current state, they should be able to recover after a period of conditioning."
Tang Zhen nodded: "It seems that you are well prepared. In this case, I have been spared some trouble.
You said that the soul data will be downloaded in two hours, then I will give you three hours, and then I will seal the land of souls and take it away.
Time is running out, so take care of yourself."
After hearing what Tang Zhen said, the person behind the scenes thanked him repeatedly.
He understood how precious time was under special circumstances. Tang Zhen's ability to give him three hours was already a great consideration.
Thinking of this, the person behind the scenes did not hesitate and said to Tang Zhen: "Your Excellency Tang Zhen, after I take these people out, I will immediately stay away from the Trobo Galaxy.
As for those Loucheng monks, I have arranged them in a secret location. These are the specific coordinates. You can send someone to pick them up at any time."
The person behind the scenes said this, told Tang Zhen an address, and then bowed again.
Tang Zhen nodded: "I have other things to do, so I won't stay with you here. If you are really desperate, you can come here.
The world of Loucheng is vast and rich in resources, and its area is by no means comparable to that of Trobo Galaxy. There will always be a place for you."
After Tang Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and left, preparing to continue looking for the crystal core of his fellow Soul-Eating Beasts.
As soon as he turned around, an old voice came, obviously not from the controller.
"Your Excellency, please stay."
When Tang Zhen turned around to look, he saw a young man slowly walking out of the group of stupid Trobo people.
That old voice came from his mouth, and combined with his young face, it made people feel a little weird.
"What's the matter with you?"
After glancing at the surprised and delighted controller, Tang Zhen looked at the prisoner who emerged from the crowd and asked in a light voice.
The prisoner seemed to be a little confused because he had just been freed from his restraints. He opened his mouth and said a few intermittent words, but none of them could be connected together.
The controller looked on secretly anxious and wanted to help, but didn't know where to start.
Tang Zhen, who was standing next to him, lightly snapped his fingers, and a vague wave rippled out. The prisoner, who was originally stammering, suddenly had a sparkle in his eyes.
"Thank you for your help. I just want to ask, are you really not prepared to let the Trobo people go?"
"That's right, if Trobo is not destroyed, we will never withdraw our troops!"
Tang Zhen nodded. This invasion mobilized ten war towers and consumed countless resources.
If he mobilized troops and mobilized people like this, if he didn't take back his original capital and profits, wouldn't he have been working in vain?
The prisoner sighed after hearing this, his expression was very complicated.
Although he was imprisoned here by the Imperial Senate, in the final analysis, he was also a Trobo.
Now seeing that his race is facing annihilation, and even the hometown of the soul is not spared, he naturally feels a lot of unwillingness and helplessness in his heart.
Tang Zhen glanced at the other party. He really didn't have time to chat with him here, so he asked coldly: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I will take the first step."
The prisoner shook his head, with a look of struggle on his face, and finally said: "Actually, I have something to tell you, and it is related to the top secrets of the Trobo people.
Even if you destroy the Trobo galaxy, the Trobo clan still has trump cards and the capital to make a comeback."
After hearing what the other party said, Tang Zhen smiled.
"If I guess correctly, you are talking about the Starship Project, right?"
Hearing Tang Zhen's words, the prisoner was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, I'm talking about the Starship Project, but how could you know?"
The Starship Project is related to the continuation of the race. Among the entire Trobo tribe, only the empire's elders know about this matter, and it is absolutely impossible for them to leak the secret.
Tang Zhen smiled and said nothing. Naturally, he would not tell the prisoner in front of him that the Starship Project was a secret discovered by the Soul-Eating Beast after devouring the soul data of the empire's elders.
The Soul-Eating Beast had already told Tang Zhen the moment he learned the secret, and Tang Zhen even had much more information than the prisoner in front of him.
"I already know about this matter, and I naturally have a way to deal with it.
The question is why you told me this? Don’t you want Trobo civilization to continue to develop?”
The prisoner sneered when he heard this and shook his head gently.
"Of course I don't want the Trobo civilization to be destroyed, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the Starship Project.
You may not know what kind of ideas will be instilled in those seeds?
They will regard plunder as their mission and killing as their glory. As long as they can rebuild the Trobo civilization in the shortest possible time, they will do so at any cost.
This is a group of lunatics, a group of killing machines, and they will only bring endless disasters wherever they go."
