Chapter 3897: Changing Commanders Mid-Battle

"Heh heh," the masked man let out a cold chuckle. "That's because you people aren't decisive enough!"

"Last time in Red River Canyon, what did I say? Did anyone listen to me?"

"Clearly knew catching them alive was hopeless, yet still pulled off such a stunt."

"The Master's instruction was, whether dead or alive, it matters not!" The masked man's eyes coldly fixed on the person beside him. "And that's my stance now as well."

"No. Hall Master Gong didn't say to take their lives."

"Them?" The masked man scoffed.

"I think you've all been charmed by that little girl," the masked man said coldly. "I saw it clearly during the Red River Canyon incident. If it weren't for that little girl, would you have been so hesitant and indecisive?"

"I now have reason to suspect that, for the sake of this little demon, you won't truly work for the Master this time either."

"After all, last time in Red River Canyon, the situation was clearly excellent, everything was perfectly arranged, yet in the end, we were counter-killed and they escaped safely!"

"Vice Hall Master Gui! Don't forget, this matter, from beginning to end, was fully entrusted to Hall Master Gong. You have no right to meddle here!" another man angrily retorted.

The masked man, known as Vice Hall Master Gui, sneered and raised a hand, pulling out a token with a Harpy sculpture engraved on it. "The command token is in my hand. If you're still hesitant today, I will issue the best orders for you."

The other masked man's pupils slightly constricted, and he instinctively clenched his fist. "Vice Hall Master Gui."

"Vice Hall Master Meng." Vice Hall Master Gui's sinister gaze locked onto him. "What are you worried about?"

"With your current performance, I truly have every reason to suspect that you're just playing along with Crown Prince Mo, and not genuinely completing the mission!"

Vice Hall Master Meng's eyes coldly fell upon Vice Hall Master Gui. "You worry too much."

"Haha, ha!" Vice Hall Master Gui's laughter ceased abruptly, and he said coldly, "It better not be!"

He looked down at the Ghost-Masked Hall Master, who had exchanged dozens of sword blows with Crown Prince Mo and was clearly at a disadvantage.

With a cold sneer, he raised the Harpy sculpture token high in his hand. "All Heaven's Fortune members, listen to my command: kill everyone below with full force!"

Vice Hall Master Meng glared furiously at the masked man.

Meanwhile, the Ghost-Masked Hall Master, who was currently clashing with Mo Lian, naturally also heard Vice Hall Master Gui's voice.

He turned his face and looked coldly at him.

Vice Hall Master Gui merely raised his sinister eyes, giving him a cold smile.

On the other side, Little Qiao Daren's gaze continuously revolved around the flashing sword light, her small face devoid of much expression.

Duan Yue looked down at her and chuckled. "Qiao Qiao, don't worry. Crown Prince Lian's skills are not something this guy can handle."

Little Qiao Daren listened, but made no response, her large, sparkling eyes fixed on the battle, her expression wooden and serene.

Duan Yue lowered his head and sighed deeply.

Qiao Qiao's thoughts were truly easy to guess.

If she fell for someone, it was with her whole heart and soul, her entire being focused on that person.

Everything else seemed unable to enter her bright, large eyes.

Feeling restless, Duan Yue couldn't help but yell at Mo Lian, "Are you done yet? Don't you see they've turned on each other? Finish him quickly and move on to the next step."
