The Ancient Gods' Whisper

As for the latter, it's just your misfortune to have chosen two people from the Judgement Court as Guardians.

"The sandstorm is estimated to dissipate in fifteen minutes."

Chen Qing touched the Crystal Ball in his hand and gave an accurate divination result.

Lu Qingqing said no more: "Pack up and prepare to depart."

Zhou Yiming went to check the transport vehicle with a cold face.

After such a scene, the atmosphere within the team became extremely tense.

However, Gu Jianlin knew in his heart that it was worth it.

Because within this team, Lin Wanqiu's value was immense—beyond imagination.

Compared to that, the harmony of the team was secondary.

Lin Wanqiu sat by the campfire, sneaking glances at him.

She had to admit that she felt a slight emotional stir just now.

Because he genuinely had no intention of betraying her.

Gu Jianlin sensed it too, but he remained unmoved.

In fact, he had already seen through it—the shrewdness, selfishness, and seductive demeanor Lin Wanqiu usually portrayed were merely layers of facade to protect herself.

Analyzing her personality profile, she was a woman with an incredibly strong inner self.

If someone crossed her bottom line, even controlling her with Ancient God's Blood might lead her to choose self-destruction.

Gaining her trust now was the best option.

"Tell me about the Lin Family."

Gu Jianlin suddenly asked.

Lin Wanqiu instinctively tensed up and was about to say something.

At that moment, Gu Jianlin's expression changed.

He once again sensed the distant summoning, but this time, the frequency was entirely different.

"Naughty monkey, stop digging in the mud over there and get ready for battle."

Gu Jianlin said calmly: "There's an ambush set up by the enemies to the east."

Ji Xiaoyu became alert: "Understood, Master!"

Bah, what naughty monkey, what Master!

The two Alchemists and the two Ancient Martial practitioners from the Lu Family turned pale.

"An ambush?"

Lu Qingqing instinctively gripped the two dark-red handguns at her waist, her sharp Eagle Eye piercing through the sandstorm.

Zhou Yiming asked, "Have you sensed anything?"

Clearly, they hadn't seen a thing.

Everyone looked at Chen Qing.

The last remaining Spiritualist in the team shook his head after caressing the Crystal Ball: "Nothing detected."

"That's because they're not within sensing range yet. We need to prepare in advance."

Gu Jianlin stood up with a solemn expression and said, "The You Ying Group is indiscriminately attacking all convoys until they confirm Minister Lu's location. These people may not attack us directly but will likely ambush us on our inevitable route, cutting us off from others."

He continued, "If we recklessly approach the east, we'll fall right into their trap."

The intelligence he provided was detailed.

All thanks to the Tiger General's messages.

Suddenly, he understood the joy of The Order of the Hidden.

If he could keep his Divine Servant's identity perfectly concealed…

He could even establish his own Order of the Hidden!

These words left everyone with one thought in mind.

How do you know that?!

Lu Qingqing narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked, "What if there's no ambush? According to what you said, if they're lying in wait to the east, we should loop around to launch a counterattack or take another route. But this is the Ancient God Realm—taking a detour here always means risk. What if we encounter other variables? What if they've set ambushes to the west too?"

"You're not in a support role, so how do you know all this?"

Zhou Yiming stared at the young man suspiciously.

They weren't fools; they wouldn't put their lives in someone else's hands so readily.

Gu Jianlin said nothing. He didn't know how to convince them.

Only Lu Zijin expressed complete trust in the young man, saying, "Listen to Xiao Gu. Prepare yourselves."

Lu Qingqing's face changed: "Sister!"

Zhou Yiming frowned: "Minister Lu, this isn't something to joke about!"

"I have my reasons."

Lu Zijin chuckled, "Behave, and listen."

It wasn't blind trust.

She clearly understood one thing.

The Moon Princess was currently within the You Ying Group.

They had an informant too.

Although she didn't know how the information was being passed, following this boy's lead wouldn't go wrong.

"Rest assured, everyone. I'll perform a divination ahead of time. If there's any issue, I'll sound the alarm immediately."

Chen Qing added an extra layer of assurance.

Gu Jianlin calmly said, "If there's no ambush, you can make all the decisions from now on."

Lu Qingqing's chest rose and fell slightly. "You said it!"

With that, she turned and walked away.

Zhou Yiming followed with a sullen face.

Outside the cave, yellow sand filled the skies, and the wind howled relentlessly.
