Chapter 2310 Deathbed Words
Du Yun, the mastermind, summoned two people through Aunt Zeng: "He will be in charge of intelligence work on the Mou Kingdom."
"He will be in charge of gathering intelligence on Cang Yan."
“From now on, you’ll be in contact with them, but always remember that the enemy is powerful, and…” The smoke in the shrine suddenly distorted, and Master Du Yun, who had been listening intently, suddenly said, “…the walls have ears. Bring him here!”
He pointed to the guards standing by the door, about ten feet away.
Two palace servants stepped forward and subdued him without saying a word.
The guard looked bewildered and cried out that he was wronged.
Du Yun, the mastermind, instructed Aunt Zeng to raise the ever-burning lamp and shine it into his eyes.
When the bright light shone on him, something flashed through the guard's eye.
"Take them away and pick them out."
After saying these few words, Du Yun was exhausted and unable to continue speaking. Aunt Zeng quickly fed him medicine and helped him regulate his qi and acupoints.
After fifty breaths, Du Yun, the master of ceremonies, recovered, and a palace maid entered carrying a tray.
"Master, he has this in his eyes!"
A small white porcelain bowl on the tray contained a tiny worm that looked a lot like a rice weevil. It was white, small, and covered in blood, and was still wriggling.
Lu Yongyan glanced at it: "These are eye mites."
Du Yun, the mastermind, said in a chilling tone, "Well done, you've even gotten your hands dirty here."
Lu Yongyan: "I'll have someone investigate."
“It can’t be found.” Du Yun shook his head. “People infected with eye mites are unaware of it themselves, and thus act as eyes and ears for others.”
Eye mites can transmit everything the host hears and sees to the owner.
This is a brilliant skill, making the traitor unaware that he has become a traitor.
The fact that the other party dared to use eye mites here shows that they were certain that the Heavenly Palace would not be able to trace the source back to them.
"You've only just taken office, and they're already giving you a hard time." Chief Du Yun looked at Lu Yongyan, his voice weak but his words playful. "Our opponents aren't just from abroad."
Who released this eye mite? Suspicion is widespread, not limited to Mu Guo and Cang Yan.
"Yes," Lu Yongyan said in a deep voice, "Their reminder is good. But no one can play tricks under the watchful eyes of the gods!"
Such subtle methods as eye mites are undetectable to ordinary people, and even immortals might not notice them. But they cannot escape the omniscience and omnipotence of the gods!
Those people were incredibly arrogant; they dared to tamper with the secret chamber that the gods were watching intently.
That swirling smoke just now was the gods informing Du Yun's master.
Du Yun, the mastermind, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get out."
All the irrelevant people in the secret room were driven out, leaving only Master Du Yun, Lu Yongyan, and three maids, including Aunt Zeng.
Aunt Zeng had to serve Master Du closely and couldn't leave.
Du Yun, the mastermind, revealed a few more secrets, which moved Lu Yongyan, who silently memorized them.
"There is one more matter, a matter of utmost importance entrusted to us by the Holy Venerable Lingxu," Envoy Du Yun said slowly. "It is too important to be recorded; it must be passed down orally, not written down, to avoid leaks. Listen carefully—"
This was probably a brief resurgence, as he spoke several sentences clearly.
The more Lu Yongyan listened, the more serious his expression became.
This is indeed the most important and valued secret among the gods!
After Du Yun finished speaking, as if he had completed the most important task, his breath became weak again: "Did you...did you hear me clearly?"
“It’s crystal clear.” Lu Yongyan repeated, and indeed there wasn’t a single mistake.
Du Yun, the mastermind, wanted to nod, but he was too weak: "Remember, remember... Once you sit in this position, think thrice before you act, and the Heavenly Palace will last long."
Lu Yongyan responded softly, "Yes."
Du Yun looked at him with a complicated expression.
Having ruled the Heavenly Palace for over a hundred years, he had painstakingly navigated the complexities of Lingxu City and the various gods, only managing to secure a peaceful end through sheer scheming. As the chief envoy of Duyun, it was far more than simply bowing and scraping to the gods.
However, the past hundred years of history cannot compare to the changes of the last ten years, and the future will be even more drastic. The next leader of the Heavenly Palace should be wiser than him. Unfortunately, although the Heavenly Palace and Bega are full of talented people, they still feel there is something lacking. You know, he was originally not satisfied with Bai Ziqi, but these two candidates are not as good as Bai Ziqi.
The throne of the highest power in the human world is also the most difficult to sit on.
To sit firmly in one's position requires more than just intelligence or luck.
Unfortunately, Lu Yongyan was ultimately chosen by the Holy Venerable Lingxu, not appointed by him.
In fact, there was always an excellent candidate, far superior to Bai Ziqi from back then, but neither the Heavenly Palace nor the Heavenly Gods would ever consider him. The first fundamental quality required to become the Chief Envoy of Duyun is loyalty.
That's enough. Why would he think about these things when he's about to die?
Over the past hundred years, how many brilliant talents had he seen come and go? Even the Qingyang National Preceptor, who seemed to sit calmly on the sidelines and never make a mistake, died quietly in a foreign land.
One after another, the gods in the heavens fell.
Now, it's finally his turn.
The world is changing too fast; even if the heavens and earth collapse in the future, he won't be able to see it.
Good, now it'll be peaceful.
His last glance fell on Aunt Zeng, as if he had something to say to this loyal old servant.
Ugh!
Aunt Zeng, her eyes red, grasped his hand: "What do you want?"
She didn't receive any further instructions from Master Du Yun, because his gaze froze.
His time has come to an end.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the old master!" Lu Yongyan bowed deeply to him, and all the maids knelt down in unison. Aunt Zeng was in tears, but dared not cry out loud.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, a wisp of red smoke escaped from the old master's mouth and nose, slowly drifting into the shrine and never to be seen again.
"The old master has been guided by the gods and has entered the divine kingdom." Lu Yongyan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the shrine, and knelt down devoutly.
"The newly appointed Chief Envoy of Duyun, Lu Yongyan, pays his respects to the Holy One! From this day forward, I will serve the Holy One to the death!"
These two sentences were powerful and resonant, their echoes lingering in the secret room.
The formal handover between the old and new chief envoys is actually quite simple. All the elaborate ceremonies are just formalities; only the watchful eyes and witness of the gods truly matter.
A wisp of smoke flew out of the shrine and circled around Lu Yongyan a few times.
The secret room seemed silent, but in reality, the divine words in Lu Yongyan's ears were as loud as a great bell!
He listened intently.
In the past, divine pronouncements were usually delivered to the old master, who would then distribute them to others.
This was the first time he had ever communicated with a god so smoothly and without any obstacles!
This is a privilege exclusively reserved for Envoy Du Yun!
Once the deity fell silent, he respectfully replied, "I will obey your holy decree!"
He got up from the ground, and Aunt Zeng came over to help him.
Lu Yongyan looked at her and sighed, "Aunt Zeng has worked hard serving the old master for so many years."
Aunt Zeng, her tears still wet on her face, said, "This is my duty."
