This...
Bai Zhannian also fell silent.
After all, even he wasn't very clear about this question. A thousand years of guarding was obviously a tedious matter.
But he hadn't expected that they could actually do it. This was indeed thought-provoking.
Of course, the real reason was that Chen Fan had too many questions in his mind. Ever since he entered the desert, everything seemed to be a coincidence.
However, all these coincidences were not accidental. They were very likely the result of human manipulation.
Bai Zhannian stopped talking, and Chen Fan silently pondered these matters.
A whole night passed, and Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.
He went directly to Yao Hui's room. The man from the Knights of the Undead and Yao Hui were lying on the bed.
Hearing someone enter, Yao Hui slowly opened her eyes, clearly very alert.
Seeing that it was Chen Fan who had entered, she relaxed slightly and then looked at Chen Fan, asking, "Did you save me?"
Yao Hui couldn't remember much of what had happened yesterday. Her mind was muddled, like a paste.
Chen Fan said indifferently, "I don't know what happened to you. When I saw you, you had already been brought back."
As he spoke, he glanced at the man lying beside her.
The implication in his words was clear enough: the man who brought her back was him.
Yao Hui then gave a bitter smile and said, "We fell into Layton's ambush, and in the end, we were almost wiped out."
"Don't you think there's something different about the camp?"
Chen Fan had heard these words too many times and didn't want to listen any further.
After all, no matter what had happened, it had nothing to do with him. It was all because of Yao Hui's stubbornness.
Therefore, no one could be blamed.
Yao Hui seemed to completely ignore the changes in the camp and instead smiled faintly, saying, "It's just that everyone in the camp has left."
"So, this was all part of your plan?"
"Mm..." Yao Hui shook her head. "No, I don't have that much authority. It's just that I understand the methods of the Knights of the Undead very well."
"What are your methods?" Chen Fan glanced at him dismissively. When he had spoken with Sluir before, he had thought this person was quite reliable. He didn't seem hostile and was even friendly.
But he hadn't expected that everything was clearly part of a scheme.
Yao Hui said lightly, "We have already left the camp, and we even brought you into the camp. So, after we leave here, everyone in the camp will definitely have to transfer. Only then can the camp avoid any problems."
"So, in the end, you don't trust me at all, and you don't even consider me your partner?"
Faced with Chen Fan's questioning, Yao Hui didn't speak, but it was a tacit admission.
Chen Fan continued, "Take me to the Eye of the Emperor."
This time, his words were devoid of any emotion.
If he had considered Yao Hui a teammate before, from now on, there was no longer any relationship between them.
However, Yao Hui remained silent.
"So, you're not going to take me?" Chen Fan's eyes were filled with coldness.
Yao Hui said with difficulty, "It's useless to rush to the Eye of the Emperor now."
Chen Fan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
After a period of silence, Yao Hui suddenly spoke, "Not long ago, we had a conflict with the people from Sector Thirteen. And the people from Sector Thirteen have already destroyed the entrance to the Eye of the Emperor. That's why the tremor occurred, and the sandstorm suddenly came to the desert."
"Is there no other entrance to get inside?"
Chen Fan was still unwilling to give up. This time he entered the desert precisely to find the Eye of the Emperor and obtain the carrier from within.
But in the end, it all came to nothing?
Yao Hui shook her head, "No. And the leader had already told you before that there was no such thing as a carrier. So, even if you entered the Eye of the Emperor, you wouldn't get what you need. Therefore, you don't need to waste any more time."
"Then what is your purpose?"
Chen Fan's expression was extremely grim. Now, he felt like he had become a pawn in someone else's game.
This feeling was extremely unpleasant.
Yao Hui smiled self-mockingly and continued, "Since it has come to this, there's no need for me to hide anything anymore. In fact, we were waiting for your arrival so that you would come into conflict with Sector Thirteen. Of course, this was all the leader's idea."
"What's in it for you? To maintain your ruling position in the Knights of the Undead?"
Since the people from Sector Thirteen entered the desert, the status of the Knights of the Undead had been declining day by day.
Chen Fan immediately understood what the Knights of the Undead wanted most. They wanted him to come into conflict with Sector Thirteen, so they could use his abilities to deal with Sector Thirteen. But how could Chen Fan become a pawn?
This was simply ridiculously absurd.
Yao Hui added, "No, there are things we need to find in the desert, so we will never leave. But the people from Sector Thirteen are always obstructing us. If we cannot deal with Sector Thirteen, it will always be a threat to us, the Knights of the Undead."
"So you thought of using me?"
Chen Fan's gaze gradually grew colder.
Yao Hui showed no fear. Having joined the Knights of the Undead, her life was no longer her own.
Now, everything was for the sake of the Knights of the Undead.
"It's not using you. A part of the reason is also because you have to be enemies with the people from Sector Thirteen."
Yao Hui continued, "Just as the leader once said, your arrival was destined to happen, it was only a matter of time. We don't know how long we've been waiting for you. Of course, the appearance of Sector Thirteen is also a matter of destiny. But you have no choice but to have a direct conflict with Sector Thirteen, because Sector Thirteen is related to what you desire."
"That is, the carrier you mentioned. In fact, a long time ago, the carrier you spoke of had already fallen into the hands of Sector Thirteen."
"It's just that it's not that magical at all. It's just a divine artifact."
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yao Hui. Clearly, all of this was beyond his acceptance.
It seemed that no one's words could be trusted.
He was like a headless fly now.
"Continue."
