Xianxia: Why am I here?

172 The Plan

Underground, a group of five men gathered. The place was no different from ruin, and their faces were all covered up.

The figures in each seemed cautious and looked at the identities through some special means before their vigilance eased slightly.

But at the same time, each seemed slightly impatient as though waiting for someone.

After some time, another shadow could be seen coming from the entrance.

This made most of them relieved, but some people were growing slightly under their masks since the latecomer dared to make them wait. But surprisingly no one said anything about it. The group seemed to have some need for the figure or to say the figure had some significance no one bothered her with being late.

But among the group, some people only looked at her with some playfulness in their eyes.

Since everyone was covering their face with a mask, it was difficult to see their faces.

Even with a mask covering the face, it was easy to tell it was a woman.

The group each had their seats and waited for the woman to speak first.

.....

“The situation is indeed just as bad. He has no way out, we are supposed to wait fir close to a century for him to set up some way to send people outside. Even if it succeeds, I’m afraid it won’t be possible for everyone to leave. The resources we have accumulated are lacking to support such a project, I would suggest each of you pick a small group of people, that you can escape with.”

The woman’s voice just finished and the discussion shifted.

When the woman informed them of everything they wanted to hear, the group probably treated her with some respect. But when the information she had passed on was obtained, everyone was hurrying on to their issues.

She didn’t seem to have any problem with this, as has been common after their meeting, but this time she took another direction while leaving.

It didn’t take long for the group that had dispersed to gather and even in their conversation, many things were mentioned.

In their conversation, she even become a topic and this was something she managed to her, making her very angry.

“Who does she think she is, she probably also has already set herself a position among us. Had she not been selected to work for the leader and have access to information earlier than us, how could she be qualified to even talk to us.” One of the men from the group had already removed his mask.

Looking at these people, she laughed at herself, she indeed knew that the relationship between them was not good, but they had no hatred. But now she realized that perhaps in their eyes, she was just a tool to spy on the leader’s plans.

At the same time, she remembered that the information she gave them was inconsistent with what was true.

In a way, her gloomy face was immediately swept away by such a thought and she didn’t see any reason to keep listening.

At the rear of the group, another one said, “why are you stressing yourself over this? Who said she was going anywhere? She will exhaust her value soon, at that time nobody would care about her. Do you think the rest cared about her opinions, we just have to use her to find out what the leader is planning and when to make a move.”

These voices held her in contempt and didn’t even bother to consider giving her a place when they left this region.

With such a reality, she took some time to force herself to calm down.

Another voice interrupted them, but the woman on the other side had heard them.

She then remembered what the leader told her before, it was then that she realized she was indeed very naive.

This group didn’t put her in their eyes at all, besides, cooperation with such a group is east to send her to death.

Turning around she left the place in a hurry and once far enough she changed her attire.

She had already made up her mind to keep playing this role until the day the leader planned to send her out of this underground hell.

As for the group, staying close to them could at least help her in making sure no changes happen before the plan by the leader was realized.

She would wait for that time to see the looks on their faces when they realized they were left behind.

The identity of a spy was convenient to use and even provided her with the ability to interact with the group and gauge their actions.

“If my strength was enough, perhaps I could let this group of old men die faster, but it doesn’t matter, when the plan is realized, they will not be able to preserve their lives.” Zhang Qinming, thought to herself.

The disregard from the group is something end didn’t care about before and thought with them she could still get some benefits, but according to them die was disposable.

This feeling was not very good and had she told them the truth, she might even suffer more.

The leader said he might have a way to send a group out of this place and that might be something he did with other plans.

She didn’t tell this them, and in the end, it seemed to have also saved her life.

With their thinking, how could they let her survive?

She had a helpless expression, since coming to this world, in a way, all this time she has no choice at all, but is required to do what others want.

She has to be careful after all some of the people she interacts with are not foolish, and making any mistake could eventually cost her. Fortunately she is not foolish, she can take advantage of the current situation to put herself in the shoes of this position she is trusted by both parties.

But the person she didn’t understand was the leader, as his thoughts were way beyond her.

Based on her character, she thought that if she had the means to leave this place would not waste her time and just move out.

On the other side, the leader she was thinking about was just sitting across from him a bunch of white objects could be seen, and each seemed bigger them the next.

From their appearance, it could be seen they were not something made by the leader, due to the ancient aura, they resembled the feeling Wang had when he first stepped into this world.

But the feeling was very intense as though the white objects egg-shaped had been taken directly from the past.

Indeed, the man leaned closer to one of the white objects and seemed to be making modifications.

“If the group managed to discover this place and use this ancient artifact, perhaps they can skip space and enter a new region of space, all that is needed is some incentive to have them rob this artifact” The man murmured to himself.

The object resembled the egg that Wang sealed but this one did have some differences, with the size being the most eye-catching thing.

From the beginning, the leader also seemed to have his s. Not selfless, but rather needs some people to volunteer in entering the artifact and leaping the way in exploration.

He thus seemed to have taken some measures to ensure that this happens.

Even if things went differently from his plans, he could still have others volunteer to do this.

“Zhang Qinmeng, your help will be accepted if you could make the group find this place and the artifacts to explore, the path for me.” After the small adjustments were made, he seemed to have nothing to do but wait.

It wasn’t long before a shadow flashed in the room, standing in the dark corner.

“How did things go?” Feeling movements in the room, the leader turned back looking at the figure hidden in the shadow, asking out loudly.

“Indeed, that woman Qinmeng didn’t let us down, she emitted some words from the information you had just passed onto her intentionally. Now we just have to let the others find this information about you holding onto four opportunities to leave this hell.” The shadow spoke with some admiration.

It doesn’t matter don’t rush this, take time before the tumors start to be circulated. Make sure that their other rumors accompany it.” The leader ordered before continuing to check out the biggest of them all.

“Once the bait had been set, I can start thinking about how to get out of this place then. Perhaps even my realm could take that step if I managed to step out of this hell.” The leader was very much expecting that day.

Unlike everyone else that seemed to be panicking, he seemed to have calculated everything and just waiting for an opportunity.
