Chapter 375: Secret Plot

However, Ye Bai had received a reminder from the system: every time the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican changed its spatial position, it would erase its own spatial ripples.

After more than a dozen Space Transfers like this, even a Pet Beast Master as strong as the Space King ultimately failed to track down Ye Bai's whereabouts.

The Space King was so angry that he returned empty-handed, and the Electric King at the Undersea Base also received the news that the target had been lost.

"Damn it, which one of the National Pillar experts is actually proficient in Space Transfer?"

"According to the intelligence we investigated, there was no one proficient in Space Transfer. Where exactly did things go wrong?"

The Electric King was completely baffled by this.

At the same time, it made the Electric King secretly vigilant; when did a great expert proficient in Space Transfer appear in the Yan Country?

So, he took out the Eternal Pointer and followed the Space King to pursue Ye Bai's trail.

Ye Bai returned to the small island where he had once stayed.

At this moment, his shoulder was suddenly tapped by someone.

"It's me! I've been waiting for you for a long time."

If not for hearing the voice of Lady Bat, Ye Bai would likely have summoned the North Star Sky Wolf Blade immediately and hacked Lady Bat into a thousand pieces.

"Afraid that you might be in danger, Qilin Marshal sent me here to meet you."

"My Space Ray can perform long-distance teleportation, enough to shield us from the Space King's sensing."

"It will only take one day to return to the land of the Yan Country."

"There is no time to lose, let's hurry back to the Yan Country."

Lady Bat summoned the Space Ray; the Space Ray looked as large as a luxury yacht.

Inside its body, there was also a small Secret Realm Space.

As the Space Ray's mouth opened, it formed a two-meter-high entrance.

The Space Ray, also known as the Void Ray, is a type of void creature, and along with the Star Whale and the Void Shark, is known as an Exotic Beast capable of drifting in the sea of stars.

This type of Space Ray is extremely rare, generally living only near the sea of stars, and it is impossible for an adult Space Ray to be contracted by anyone.

The spatial power existing within its body is enough for the Space Ray to resist the power of a contract.

Only young or unborn Space Rays can possibly be contracted by humans.

However, the lifespan of a Space Ray is extremely long, while its reproductive ability is very poor; young Space Rays are closely watched by their kin, and it is rare for ordinary people to steal a Space Ray cub.

Unless there is an accident.

Seeing Ye Bai's eyes looking up and down at the Space Ray, Lady Bat spoke directly.

"You must be curious about how I got my Space Ray."

"In fact, it was also a chance encounter; during a trip in the deep mountains, I accidentally spilled blood on a large oval stone."

"Who knew that it was a Space Ray? I was also blessed by the Space Ray, becoming Lady Bat, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"If I hadn't contracted the Space Ray back then, I would just be an ordinary Pet Beast Master."

"If time could turn back, I would just want to be an ordinary young girl."

Ye Bai rolled his eyes, watching Lady Bat perform there.

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

"I'm afraid the Space King will track us across space and launch a precision strike."

After hearing this, Lady Bat's face turned deathly pale.

She knew full well what kind of inhumane torture she, a young girl in her prime, would suffer if she fell into the hands of the Eight Kings.

"Hurry in, Space Ray, quickly use Void Travel."

The Space Ray's body turned star-blue.

A twisted and folded space was instantly opened.

The Space Ray slowly rushed in, its body also becoming distorted.

It was traveling through a wormhole, entering the flat and twisted space, and then returning to the Yan Country.

Before long, the wormhole vanished straight away.

And at this time, the Electric King and the Space King caught up to this location.

The Eternal Pointer in the Electric King's hand stopped swinging; they had lost the target.

They vented their rage wildly at the empty island.

"Damn it, if I find out who played me for a fool, I will definitely skin them alive. It really makes me furious."

The hot-tempered Space King cursed and swore.

The incidents at the Lake Bottom Research Institute and the Undersea Base had caused him to lose face and suffer a blow to his prestige.

The key was that the whereabouts of the Steel Dragon from the Lake Bottom Research Institute were unknown, which had become a thorn in the Space King's heart.

Although the official statement was that the Steel Dragon was destroyed in the massive explosion, the Space King knew full well how much water that claim held.

The Steel Dragon was the life's work of Zhubinuo Boshi; how could it be destroyed just like that?

Someone must have entered the Lake Bottom Research Institute and taken the Steel Dragon away; it must be so.

I must find clues and get the Steel Dragon back from that person's hands.

Zhubinuo Boshi has always harbored ulterior motives and refuses to work properly for us.

Otherwise, our Beautiful Country would have long since become the most powerful country in this world.

The Space Ray traveled through the wormhole, and Ye Bai looked at the twisted space around him, finding it very interesting.

"This is a dimension we cannot explain. Currently, Void Travel has not been researched by humans; we can only rely on void Exotic Beasts to travel through the void."

"This time, the Beautiful Country has suffered a disaster and may plot to have the Angel Army of the Haoshen Abyss descend."

Lady Bat revealed the intelligence she had obtained.

Ye Bai had already known this intelligence from the system; the Haoshen Abyss involved the defense plan of the Yan Country and, like the Nantianmen, belonged to a very important strategic highland.

If the Sea God Abyss were to be ambushed, it would inevitably trigger a massive chain reaction.

"The Crystal Wall over at the Sea God Abyss was originally about to be shattered by the Angel Army."

"As it turns out, you retrieved the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade, and the National Destiny of the Yan Country increased, which actually made the Crystal Wall much more stable."

"This time, the Qilin Marshal will summon us Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Twelve Pillars of the Nation, and the other four Marshals to attend a meeting together."

"We must guard against the Sea God Abyss being breached."

"The Angel Army is skilled at indoctrination; we cannot let the angels indoctrinate our citizens and hold them hostage."

"We must make thorough preparations."

"Therefore, the purpose of the Qilin Marshal calling this meeting is to guard against the arrival of the Angel Army."

"Currently, the Twelve Pillars of the Nation all have urgent matters; the Sea God Abyss is now being guarded by Chen Long and Hai Zhu."

"Once the Sea God Abyss is in distress, the White Tiger Marshal will step in to assist."

Lady Bat told Ye Bai everything she knew.

"It's just that I haven't reached the seventh rank yet; wouldn't it be a bit hasty to have me participate in such an important operation?"

Ye Bai's strength has not reached the seventh rank, but his Pet Beasts' combat power has reached the seventh rank. For instance, Dahui possesses the ability to defeat seventh-rank Pet Beasts.

Like the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican, which broke through its limits and became a seventh-rank Pet Beast.

After the Myriad-Change Butterfly splits into a Clone, it can also contend with seventh-rank Pet Beasts.

At worst, Ye Bai still has the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade in his hand; the lower limit of this Soul Weapon's power is the seventh rank.

Some of the Twenty-Eight Mansions might not even be as formidable as Ye Bai.

"You don't understand the significance of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"I once thought just like you; the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade will not misidentify its host."

"You possess the potential to reach the seventh rank or even higher, which is why the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade signed a contract with you; otherwise, why haven't we heard of anyone successfully contracting the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade in these sixteen years?"

"It is a proud and solitary Soul Weapon; it is the Zhua of the White Tiger, hailed as the sharpest blade among the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"Of course, after you return to the Yan Country, there will be specialized instructors to help you achieve the unity of spirit and soul with the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade."

"So that you can truly command the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade as easily as moving your own arm."

Lady Bat's words made Ye Bai feel slightly more at ease.

As long as he has obtained the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade, he is an official member of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and no one will be able to seize the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade from his hands.

For some reason, there is a feeling of perfect harmony between Ye Bai and the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to sign a contract with the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade.

The space inside the Space Ray is vast, forming a small Secret Realm within itself, complete with sunlight, fresh flowers, and dew.

Lady Bat even built a three-story villa inside the Space Ray.

"Except for the master bedroom on the third floor, feel free to choose any guest room on the second floor to rest."

"It will take at least a day to return to the Yan Country from here."

Lady Bat said very calmly.

"I understand."

It would soon be dawn, and Ye Bai planned to look over all the recent intelligence.

【1. The Undersea Base has suffered heavy damage. The Eight Kings are furious, and in order to retaliate, they have decided to join forces with demons to hold a wall-breaking ceremony at the Sea God Abyss, shattering the Crystal Wall to allow the Angel and Demon armies to enter the Blue Star and carry out mass slaughter.】

【2. A Saint Demon is sealed beneath the Sea God Abyss. This demon's strength is extremely formidable; it is sealed by the seal of the ancient God of Light. It is an extremely powerful demon, and the angels could break the seal to let this demon reappear in the human world.】

【3. A type of crab called the Demon Spider Crab is produced near the Sea God Abyss. Their leg meat is extremely sweet, and long-term consumption of Demon Spider Crab can enhance one's physical constitution.】

【4. After the Water Rabbit comes into contact with different types of water, it can analyze the water's composition and secrete various kinds of water, such as Heavy Water, soft water, the Spring of Healing, etc. The more types of water it comes into contact with, the stronger its power will be.】

【5. The fur of the Demon Bear can be used to knit sweaters; these sweaters can mask one's aura.】

【6. The dragon energy in the Long Ling of the Shen Nong Mi Jing is about to dissipate. Pet Beasts with dragon attributes can absorb the final dragon energy to trigger a final transformation, which might attract the Candle Dragon Pearl buried deep within the Long Ling.】

【7. There are many ways to tame angels; the most effective is to use the Oath of Oaths to contract an angel. An angel cannot violate the contract, otherwise, it will be reduced to dust, its Soul will scatter, and it will turn into the origin of light to nourish the contractor's Soul. Angels will not easily do such things that are not worth the loss.】

【8. Dankalabi hates angels very much; it has many ways to torture angels, which can be used to make them descend and help it contract angels.】

【9. The angels are depicting a light magic array, intending to use a large-scale Blood Sacrifice to weaken the control of the Crystal Wall. This method is extremely vicious and requires a massive amount of flesh, blood, and Souls to succeed. The angels intend to extract the bloodline and Soul of the Deep Blue Giant Whale to complete the Blood Sacrifice.】

【10. Pouring Ethereal Water onto the blade of the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade can activate it, and the Ethereal Water can also remove impurities from within the Beichen Sky Wolf Blade, making it even sharper.】

These ten pieces of information are quite important, as they reveal key clues about the trouble the angels might be stirring up at the Sea God Abyss.

Ye Bai intends to pass these clues to his grand-master early to draw the attention of the Yan Country.

Meanwhile.

The leaders of the three major organizations—the Illuminati, the Resurrection Society, and the Gospel Society—gathered together.

The Resurrection Society was led by Elder Huo, the Illuminati was led by the Day Envoy, and as for the Gospel Society, it was actually the Star Sage.

"Come to think of it, we haven't cooperated in a long time."

Elder Huo's entire body was aflame, and there were two huge bull horns on his head.

The Day Envoy's body was hidden within the light, making it impossible to see his form at all.

And the Star Sage was wearing star-blue sage robes, holding a radiant Scepter in his hand.

"News has come from the Beautiful Country that the Glory Angel intends to open the gate of the Tianjie to bring various gospels down to the human world."

The Star Sage took the initiative to bring up the topic, prompting discussion among the group.

"What does that have to do with us?"

"The Resurrection Society is an organization that follows the Demon God; matters concerning those bird-men should be handled by the Illuminati."

"We don't want to be the ones sticking our necks out, just to avoid being swarmed by the Yan Country's army."

"You must know, the Yan Country possesses the Truth Cannon."

"That is a part of the artifact of the former God of Truth—the Scales of Truth."

"Although every activation consumes a massive amount of energy, we cannot guarantee how many times Yan Country can activate it."

"I have no desire to tweak the tiger's whiskers of Yan Country at this juncture."

Elder Huo said in a muffled voice; he was a person with a short temper to begin with.

"Elder Huo, you have remained at the Eighth Rank stage for a very long time, haven't you?"

"When you were young, you could still stand on equal footing with the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

"Yet you have squandered so many years, only able to watch as the Twelve Pillars of the Nation broke through the Eighth Rank one by one to become Ninth Rank powerhouses."

"The moment the Sea God Abyss ruptures, it will bring the laws of Tianjie to Blue Star."

"With the laws of the outside world, it will become very easy for us to break through the Eighth Rank."

"Elder Huo, angels and demons are no different in our hearts; all we desire is to enter a higher dimension."

"When you become a god, you will cast aside your pity, for all living beings are mere ants; only when you ascend higher can you obtain true truth."

Sage Xing said with a smile.

The Gospel Society she represented symbolized neutrality.

"Very well, for the sake of breaking through the Eighth Rank, I think it is worth a try."

"This time, our Resurrection Society will have Holy Son Ling take action."

"We four Elders will provide support for Holy Son Ling."

Elder Huo represented the opinion of the four Elders of the Resurrection Society.

"Then I, too, shall lead a portion of our followers to the Sea God Abyss."

"Although we are affiliated with the angel faction, we are merely in a cooperative relationship; the Glory Angel cannot command us."

"Furthermore, only if the Glory Angel truly opens the gate of Tianjie will we take the initiative to attack the Sea God Abyss."

Day Envoy gave the answer.

"However, as for your Gospel Society, what have you been bewitched by?"

The gazes of Elder Huo and Day Envoy both fell upon Sage Xing.
