Chapter 750: Monday

Approaching three in the afternoon, above the gray mist in the ancient palace that seemed as eternally unchanging as a giant's dwelling, Ke Lai En had already taken his seat, and on the left side of the mottled long table sat the projections of Lei Ke Dun and Luo Sai Er that he had retrieved from the fissures of history.

Ke Lai En looked at Luo Sai Er speechlessly, and the latter smiled, with an expression that said "I enjoy joining the fun," and said:

"I was, after all, once a core member of the Dusk Hermit Society; now that I've jumped ship to your Tarot Society, shouldn't I be your honored guest?"

"You just simply want to play."

Ke Lai En, expressionless, pierced Luo Sai Er's excuse, yet he did not refuse—after all there was already a regular guy sitting here as a spectator, so adding another would be fine.

"Mind your image; don't frighten them."

After warning Luo Sai Er, Ke Lai En extended his spirit, pulling the members of the Tarot Society up through the illusory stars above the gray mist.

Lines of deep crimson light rose and quickly contracted on both sides of the mottled long table, coalescing into vague human silhouettes.

Along with them appeared Shi Jie, seated at the very end of the mottled long table; he arrived silently, sitting there mute and restrained, easily overlooked if one is not paying attention.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yu Zhe~"

Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li, as always, was the first to rise, bowing to Yu Zhe at the head of the table; during this she noticed some seat changes in the Tarot Society and an extra new member.

Mr. Bai Ta and the new member were moved to the far side, sitting to the right of Shi Jie; does this carry any deeper meaning? This is the first seat shift in the Tarot Society, and the new member's posture is very relaxed, even casual, giving the impression of lacking proper reverence and respect.

The other members of the Tarot Society also gradually noticed the seat changes and the extra new member; Yue Liang, Tai Yang, Xing Xing and others merely glanced, then set the shift aside in their minds and focused on scrutinizing the newcomer, while the remaining Yin Zhe, Dao Diao Ren, Mo Shu Shi and others thought more deeply.

New member? Why does he seem familiar, and the intuition of Yu Yan Da Shi gave a certain warning—the counterpart is extremely dangerous, even if only observing. Yin Zhe Jia De Li Ya lowered her head, glancing at the newcomer with peripheral vision.

Noticing the gazes of the Tarot Society members, Ke Lai En leisurely reclined against his chair back, raised his hand toward Luo Sai Er and said, "This one is Huang Di."

The members of the Tarot Society nodded to the new member, Huang Di Luo Sai Er; after greeting Yu Zhe, they exchanged salutations and each recited their code name before proceeding to the formal segment of the Tarot Society.

The members glanced at each other, none speaking first; it seemed that as the sequence rose, most needs had faded.

After a brief silence, Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li raised her hand and said, "Everyone, does anyone know the Dream Weaver's demonic potion formula, or have related clues? Hmm, it's not urgent."

"I also need a heart of a Dreamcatcher, a crystal of a psychic illusion, or a whole brain of a mature psychic dragon."

The latter are the main ingredients for the Dreamwalker, which she prepared for Su Xi; of course she isn't in a hurry, Su Xi's 'Hypnotist' demonic potion hasn't fully digested, and as a dog, it lacks the necessary role‑playing opportunities.

Lei Ke Dun raised his hand and responded to Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li's request: "I can ask around, if He is willing to separate any surplus traits."

He? Mr. Bai Ta knows an angel of the psychic realm, and as the thought drifted, Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li politely smiled and nodded, "Alright, thank you."

With Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li's request concluded, the Tarot Society fell into another brief silence; then Ke Lai En manipulated his trump card 'Shi Jie', raised his hand and said:

"Everyone, I have a commission, a commission for all."

Recently short‑on‑cash Judgment Xiu immediately asked aloud, "What commission?"

"Gather information around you, help me monitor whether any area experiences large‑scale disappearances or deaths of creatures normally unnoticed—such as insects, crows, or even homeless people."

"If discovered, do not investigate, retreat immediately, and pray to Mr. Yu Zhe, relaying the specifics to me."

"You may also delegate this task to forces under your command, but be careful not to make a fuss or leak the information."

"Shi Jie" Ge Er Man·Si Pa Luo gave a detailed account of his request; after listening, everyone except Lei Ke Dun and Luo Sai Er fell into brief bewilderment.

Yin Zhe Jia De Li Ya, who had some knowledge of the Zhan Bu Jia path, and Cheng Che Anderson simultaneously recalled something; they almost at once looked toward Shi Jie at the far end of the mottled long table, and, in unusually synchronized astonishment, exclaimed:

"Are you tracking Cha La Tu? Or other high‑rank members of the Secret Cult?" Shi Jie Ge Er Man·Si Pa Luo slowly shook his head and said:

"Neither. Cha La Tu has already fallen; although He likely still retains a means of resurrection, He cannot appear again in the short term."

"I am searching for An Ti Ge Nu Si, the Angel King active in the Fourth Era who broke free of his seal, and after dying once shed his madness; now He has left the Night Kingdom, whereabouts unknown."

"This commission may be very dangerous; An Ti Ge Nu Si is Sequence One of the Zhan Bu Jia path, possessing extraordinarily keen intuition. If you worry about safety, you may abandon this commission."

Cha La Tu is dead? If I recall correctly, Cha La Tu was already a Sequence One angel, yet He died silently. Yin Zhe Jia De Li Ya widened her eyes slightly, taken aback by the news.

Calming her emotions, she began to let her thoughts wander, contemplating the truth behind Cha La Tu's death:

Perhaps the battle occurred in a realm I cannot observe, or perhaps Mr. Yu Zhe himself intervened, ending the fight swiftly so that no sound was made and no one noticed.

If that is the case, does it mean Mr. Yu Zhe has already returned to the level of a True God?

As thoughts fluttered, Yin Zhe Jia De Li Ya lowered her head a bit more, yet couldn't resist glancing at Yu Zhe's reaction at the head of the table.

Zheng Yi Ao Dai Li noticed Yin Zhe Jia De Li Ya's reaction, followed the gaze, thoughtfully looking at Yu Zhe shrouded in the gray mist; thoughts scattered in her mind, she finally turned to Shi Jie at the far end, gave a slight nod and said, "I can try; I can use the collective subconscious sea to observe from the side whether there are anomalies in my surrounding area."

Tai Yang Dairike nodded right after, saying, "I will also try to look for such anomalies around."

Yue Liang Emulin, pondering, spoke:

"I can also try; as the Moon's beloved, our bloodline is relatively sensitive to changes in surrounding life."

"Even if that Angel King from the Fourth Era discovers something, He will only silently depart, doing nothing to me; life belongs to the Mother Goddess's realm, and my observing this is perfectly normal."

As Yue Liang Emulin's words fell, the remaining members of the Tarot Society each, for their own reasons, took on the task.

After a brief silence, Yu Zhe Ke Lai En announced the start of the free‑talk segment.

Cheng Che Anderson, eager, spoke, "Everyone, if I want to hunt a War Bishop, what suggestions do you have?"

Suggestion? Suggest you gag them, otherwise before you go to war you might have an uncivilized verbal clash. Ke Lai En, perched on the high‑back chair at the head, continued internally with a snarky comment; his rich inner monologue helped maintain a subtle mental balance.

The ever‑silent new member, Huang Di Luo Sai Er, interested in the topic, replied, "You could hunt the madmen of the Iron‑Blood Knights, especially since their recent defeat by Tis…"

"Under the incitement and influence of Medici Soren Einhorn, they have abandoned the True Creator's faith, …"

"Medici Soren Einhorn," Anderson chewed the weighty name, his complexion briefly turning odd.

An Angel King active on the ground is often more dangerous than the lofty gods, because provoking them will cause them to appear in person and deal with you directly. However, I am only a Sequence Four 'Iron‑Blood Knight', likely not enough to draw a personal strike from an Angel King.

His thoughts drifting, he turned his head toward Huang Di Luo Sai Er and asked in a deep voice:

"Are there any of your enemies or people you dislike within the Iron‑Blood Knights?"

"They are not worthy yet." Luo Sai Er snorted disdainfully.

Confidence, or arrogance? This Huang Di's status seems unusual. Dao Diao Ren A'erjie, upon hearing this, turned his head again to look at Huang Di Luo Sai Er, who sat several seats away.

Luo Sai Er's answer made Anderson pause briefly; he had been hoping that if the other could give a concrete reply, he could forge some cooperation and gain extra allies.

Since Cheng Che Anderson now knew little, after a brief discussion the group concluded the topic.
