He was certain of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did Mu De go?\" Neo asked, keeping his voice even. \"The man who was sitting here. Where does he live? When does he usually come here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beggars stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of them exchanged confused looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another glanced at Neo’s clothes, then at his calm but heavy gaze, and quickly lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo reached into his pocket and flicked a Ji coin toward them. It clinked softly as it landed between two bowls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no Mu De here,\" one of the beggars said after a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That place is always empty,\" another added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third frowned and muttered, \"Weren’t you just talking to empty air?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t lying. He could hear it in their voices, and see it in their reactions. This wasn’t fear-driven denial. It was genuine confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I remember them reacting when I let him touch my hand. They were clearly surprised,’ Neo thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, several of them had stared openly when a well-dressed man like him had allowed a filthy beggar to grab his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burned more of his Life Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn’t just observe the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception pierced deeper, brushing against the memories of the beggars and the passing pedestrians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved carefully, quickly, taking only fragments so as not to damage fragile mortal minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no Mu De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their memories, the spot had always been empty. Neo had stood there alone, speaking to no one. Some remembered him pausing strangely. Others recalled him staring into space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the beggar named Mu De did not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo withdrew his perception and extinguished the flame. His expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s like he was erased after the meeting. No... erased might not be the right word.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the Celestial Worthy appear like this? Why hide his existence so completely, yet speak to him directly? Why allow Neo to remember when no one else could?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was still piecing the question together when a hand touched his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, why were you ignoring me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi stood there, pouting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her other hand, she held a girl who was calmly licking a sweet on a stick, entirely focused on the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight was so normal that it momentarily clashed with the tension still lingering in Neo’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. I was just thinking about something,\" Neo said after a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t bother asking Vivi whether she had seen the beggar behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even the beggars themselves didn’t remember Mu De, Vivi certainly wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, studying his face for a second longer, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. But before we go, I want you to meet someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is helping us against Apollyon. I was waiting for him earlier. That’s why I came late to find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Neo notice the presence beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that the person was invisible. It was subtler than that. A Technique Spirit was at work, bending attention away, smoothing over awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Neo had stopped burning his Life Flame, his senses hadn’t pierced through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he noticed, the man was suddenly very much there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello,\" he said, instinctively polite despite the lingering unease. \"I am Neo Hargraves. Thank you for—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked onto the man’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a heartbeat, nothing happened. Then Neo’s expression twisted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard. What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi rushed forward, spreading her arms as if to shield the man behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was already igniting his Life Flame again, anger flaring fast and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of the way. This man is the leader of the Eternals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know!\" Vivi said quickly. \"I know, but—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She faltered, clearly struggling to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the man spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m on your side, Hargraves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s eyes narrowed. \"You want me to believe that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura rose explosively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power pressed outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi reacted instantly, erecting a barrier around the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street blurred slightly as pedestrians and beggars unconsciously diverted their gazes, their senses dulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m a Stage Nine Divinity God outside. And even here, I’m a Third Realm Martial Artist. If I were on Apollyon’s side, you’d already be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo clenched his jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated that the man was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure he felt wasn’t false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Martial Realm matched the claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would you betray Apollyon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the man’s expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He killed Master,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rage flickered across his face, like something that had been suppressed for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it vanished, replaced by composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outside, I couldn’t do anything. Everything was under his gaze. But here, in this place, his control is weakened. This is my only chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every instinct screamed at him to tear this man apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader of the Eternals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responsible for countless deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he stood against Apollyon now, that didn’t erase the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vivi was standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protecting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled faintly and placed a hand on Vivi’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Vivi, it’s fine. Your father can’t defeat me. You don’t need to protect me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s gaze snapped to the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just touch my daughter?\" he said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life Flame and consciousness surged together, his killing intent no longer restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned his head slightly, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivators. They’re coming. They sensed your Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi’s eyes widened. She looked at Neo, urgency clear on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extinguished the ignition with effort, though the anger didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the area quickly, blending into the flow of the street before turning down a narrower path that led away from the market and toward the sect grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Neo broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" he said, voice rough. \"What exactly are you helping us with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apollyon got into contact with cultivators related to the ones you’ve killed, and he revealed the fact that you can generate Qi (World Energy) without a Spirit Root. Now, the entire Heavenly Sect is searching for you,\" Veydran said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, \"A Martial Artist helping a cultivator of the Heavenly Sect is seen as treason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Marital Alliance believed you when you told them Apollyon is working with Heavenly Sect?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apparently, last time I entered the True Blessed Lands, I was something like an assistant to the True Martial King, the strongest in the Righteous Martial Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Righteous Martial Alliance was the name of a clan formed by various Martial Sects coming together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, just because they called themselves \"Righteous\" didn’t mean they were good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, the others were much worse than them and practitioners of evil arts.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-05-30T08:01:17.152Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.950Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e6a3a1df4154bc2d6a59040cc0b992a952f11a6e8dda3a558ff9d323a10f8d3","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-811","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-809",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
