Chapter 437: The Encirclement

"What about the details?"

Aaron frowned.

"I don't know..." Mao Nvshi made a helpless gesture.

"The time... was it the era of the Sun King Arthur?" Aaron thought for a moment and changed his method of questioning.

Mao Nvshi seemed to think seriously for a moment before answering: "No... it was after the death of the Sun King!"

Aaron's pupils constricted sharply, but his voice remained calm: "This piece of information is worth 5,000 pounds, what do you think?"

"Of course, you are truly too generous, my cute little gentleman..." Mao Nvshi's emerald-like eyes seemed to shine.

Aaron's words were like tearing through the Night Curtain, exposing everything dirty in the night to the sunlight.

Gu Ya's eyes were deep, and not knowing what he was thinking, he followed him out.

The two left the manor guarded by gargoyles and arrived inside the woods.

In another direction of the manor, not far away.

Hiss!

Because the Ascension Rituals for high-level Extraordinarys are strange and varied, there are often some very peculiar requirements...

Not only that, one blister-like thing after another appeared on the bone dragon, constantly bursting and disintegrating...

Aaron signaled to Gu Ya and, as if he hadn't seen the many malicious intentions, walked out of the venue.

"There is no more specific information. If you want to know that location, we can make a deal after the gathering... because a Lingjie Mizheng Landmark is quite difficult to create, so it requires a complex Ritual."

This let her know that Aaron was not a pushover and likely possessed some ability to distinguish lies or divine the truth.

Just as Mao Nvshi was preparing to desperately perform several Jinjie Ritual and Curses, that 'Alchemist' suddenly turned around, looking in another direction.

'If these Extraordinaries besiege Lord Aaron, I will surely die here, right?'

"Apologies, Mao Nvshi, I have no malicious intent..." The elderly Gu Ya bowed elegantly to Mao Nvshi: "But every word I said is true; this 'Philosopher' should be able to tell!"

Aaron stopped and looked at the elderly Gu Ya.

She saw that after Mao Nvshi, several other Extraordinaries spoke information of unknown truth.

Gu Ya said the answer in a hoarse voice.

Aaron watched coldly; after all, there were very few things left that could move him.

Aaron smiled and refused.

When the Moon was about to fade, Mao Nvshi stood up elegantly and announced: "The gathering is over... Magician, would you like to leave with me?"

"Knowing now is already too late."

Not only did those hidden Extraordinaries scatter like startled birds and beasts, but even the elderly Gu Ya could not help but be stunned.

The surrounding environment inexplicably became illusory and intensely colored... A gray-white bone dragon slowly poked its head out from the Spirit World.

"Oh?"

However, the 'Philosopher' already had this kind of ability, and the participants present did not have many doubts.

"Are you an undercover agent for the Invis Empire? Have they likely already sent people to monitor this venue, preparing to carry out secret arrests?"

'Then... Lord Aaron will probably kill everyone present who besieged him, after all... he is a truly wanted high-level criminal of the Empire, the S-rank 'Feathered Serpent'!'

The elderly Gu Ya seemed to have been greatly insulted and stomped his golden Scepter in anger.

From the Shadow, something inexplicably twisted emerged, carrying the hissing of a giant snake.

An inexplicable roar emerged.

Gu Ya stroked the golden Scepter in his hand, his expression under the mask unreadable: "Then... what price are you willing to pay for that Spirit World Coordinate?"

A dozen seconds later, a disheveled Persian cat escaped, her originally smooth and beautiful fur covered in large patches of char, emitting a woman's sharp cursing: "Damn it... someone betrayed us!"

'Not in vain did I scatter so much fish bait; did I finally hook one?'

"Praise the Sun!"

The elder in the bone mask said slowly.

Dailisi subconsciously hugged her arms; she felt a bit cold...

Compared to the massive Feathered Serpent, the bone dragon behind him was simply like an earthworm...

"What nonsense are you spouting? The Empire murdered my grandchildren; would I compromise with them?"

'Colonizers' appeared from all directions, and the leader was an 'Alchemist': "Empire A-rank wanted criminal—Mao Nvshi, you cannot escape."

"Thank you for your kindness, beautiful lady, but I still have a deal to attend to."

"I know the location of a Lingjie Mizheng, which contains a precious historical image regarding the Si Sui; it is definitely worth the price."

Aaron recognized him as the owner of the aged voice that had made things difficult for him at the beginning, but he didn't pay much attention: "Specifically?"

Mao Nvshi snorted with dissatisfaction: "You know the rules."

An elder wearing a purple robe walked out slowly; he had white-gold long hair, wore a bone mask on his face, held a thick golden Scepter, and an embedded black Crystal Ball at the top of the Scepter.

Dailisi was startled, then immediately agreed calmly.

"Gu Ya?"

A Sun Cleric, with the fanaticism of a martyr on his face, ignited a Talisman and also ignited himself.

Some of them needed curios, some needed materials, Talismans, and others needed assistants...

When Aaron announced that his trade was over, the other Extraordinaries continued to communicate.

The elderly Gu Ya's smile stiffened on his face, turning into extreme horror: "You are..."

It wasn't just her; the eyes of the other participants also shone, but with the light of hungry wolves.

The elderly Gu Ya was the same; as early as witnessing the Mythical Creature form of the Feathered Serpent, he had suffered terrible corruption and had all possibilities of escape blocked.

"Hmph."

Aaron looked around and suddenly felt a bit melancholy: "You are very confident... your confidence does not come from the bunch of idiots following behind, but from... the Invis Empire, right?"

This time, Aaron pondered for a moment before offering a reward of several hundred pounds.

Mao Nvshi let out a cold snort, and as she walked, she quietly transformed into a snow-white Persian cat with a glossy, lustrous coat, leaping elegantly onto the window to leave the venue...

Aaron scoffed, and large masses of Shadow burst forth from his body.

"Feathered Serpent!"

Aaron gave Dailisi, who was beside him, a look, signaling for her to leave on her own later.

"The words are true, but the malice is also true."

Two enormous wings blotted out the sky, and the massive scales were covered in twisted patterns and Mysterious symbolic Talismans, constantly oozing Evil Domain and death...

"The remains of a Spirit World Creature?"

An illusory sun, yet one carrying a scorching temperature, rose from the forest.

"Let's do it here... I'm in a hurry!"

Roar! Roar!

Clatter!

The dragon's hideous head, capable of swallowing a person whole, opened wide and aimed at Aaron.

The expression beneath the Bone Crow elder's mask did not change in the slightest: "Deal!"

Aaron's expression remained unchanged: "Fine... the time will be after the gathering, and the location will be decided by me!"

Snap!

His flesh rotted and fell off piece by piece... leaving only a pair of eyeballs, which flew out of their sockets and into the range of the Feathered Serpent.

Immediately, the massive Feathered Serpent vanished in an instant...
