Chapter 3025

Today, Gem Street was very deserted. The streets were empty, and many men and women dressed as clergy were hiding in the shadows, closely monitoring a hotel.

These were all members of the Kodo School. The reason they came here was that they had received orders from their superiors.

At this time, in a room on the top floor of the Kodo School headquarters, five bishops were gathered. Bishop Noah among them was almost pulling his hair out in worry, while Bishop Dulu opposite him was resting with his eyes closed, as if everything had nothing to do with him and was all Bishop Noah's fault.

"Noah, we need an explanation."

A bishop with an age-spotted face spoke. His expression was gloomy, not because Bishop Noah had secretly traded with someone, but because of another matter.

Bishop Noah pondered for a long time but said nothing. Anything said now seemed pale and powerless.

Bishop Noah's thought at this moment was that summoning the Heretic Execution Squad back was the wisest decision he had made in the last dozen years.

Two hours ago, the news of Su Xiao's return to "Dank City" had already been learned by the high-level members of the Kodo School. Confirming that Su Xiao was only active on Gem Street, the high-level members felt much more at ease.

As high-level members of the Kodo School, they naturally knew many secrets that outsiders could not know, such as Su Xiao going to the Underground Kingdom and slaughtering the Spider Queen, and then going to the north.

Not long after, the Great Sage's forces in the north had no news. The intelligence sent back by the eyes the Kodo School had buried there was that Su Xiao had taken care of the Great Sage.

Originally, the Kodo School tended to be hostile toward Su Xiao and prepared to deal with Su Xiao in secret, with only Bishop Noah opposing it.

After learning that Su Xiao had taken care of the Great Sage, the high-level members of the Kodo School gathered again to discuss and decided not to seek revenge on Su Xiao. The price was too high, and whether they could succeed was still an unknown.

Having reached this result, the high-level members of the Kodo School were all very satisfied. They actually didn't want to fight Su Xiao to the death; before, it was just that they couldn't save face. The assassination plan they proposed was just for show.

Just when the Kodo School thought the previous grudges were wiped clean, Su Xiao returned to Gem Street, which made the high-level members of the Kodo School start worrying again. They were worried that Su Xiao had come back to cause trouble.

It was unknown which side leaked the news, but the news of Su Xiao and Bishop Noah's secret cooperation, as well as the Heretic Execution Squad being summoned back by Bishop Noah, became known to the high-level members of the Kodo School.

The high-level members were "furious." Of course, this was superficial fury; in reality, they secretly praised Bishop Noah for his foresight. If they were hostile to Su Xiao at this time, the Heretic Execution Squad would be the Kodo School's main combat force, responsible for confronting Su Xiao head-on.

Just when the high-level members of the Kodo School breathed a sigh of relief, Baha brought Yueling, Goddess Shataye, and the Old Knight back to Gem Street, all arriving at the hotel where the Heretic Execution Squad was located.

Learning this news, the high-level members of the Kodo School widened their eyes. Let alone them, even Bishop Noah broke into a cold sweat. He didn't know what Su Xiao was going to do. Could it be that he was going to surround and annihilate the Heretic Execution Squad? Thinking of this, Bishop Noah's heart went cold.

Goddess Shataye, this name was a taboo of the Kodo School. Shataye had once fought her way out of the Kodo School's headquarters, then blocked the Soul Bell Tower for decades, and after losing control of her mind, slaughtered an entire city.

The Kodo School began to secretly mobilize combat power. Just at this time, Insect Lord Hash arrived at the Gem Street Insect Tower. The first to react was not the Kodo School, but the Lame Gang of Gem Street.

There were too many powerful individuals of unknown origin coming to Gem Street through their Insect Tower. If these people went to war with the Kodo School, the Lame Gang would cry their voices out. They really hadn't done anything; they were just operating the Insect Tower. This pot was truly too big for them to carry, so the Lame Gang immediately ran away.

The current situation was that the high-level members of the Kodo School were full of worries. They immediately blocked the Insect Tower, forbidding anyone from using it. If any more powerful individuals of unknown origin arrived here, the situation would be too desperate.

Unknown when, night fell outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The five bishops in the meeting room, as well as the High Priests whose status was slightly inferior, all remained silent. Tonight, they were destined to suffer from insomnia.

Compared to this side, the hotel on Gem Street was very lively. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Yueling sat opposite each other, playing checkers. This was, of course, taught by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, while Baha and Amu watched the fun from the side.

The Heretic Execution Squad sat around several round tables, with over a dozen wooden wine glasses placed on the tables. Some members of the Heretic Execution Squad were hanging their heads and taking a nap, not even taking off their long, pointed metal helmets when sleeping.

Insect Lord Hash was lying on the bar counter, sleeping soundly. As for seeking revenge on Su Xiao, after Su Xiao promised to help it concoct a permanent buff potion that could stabilize its state, Insect Lord Hash had already forgotten about that. For it, being able to live was a profit, and its strength would allow it to experience even more novel things.

An hour ago, Insect Lord Hash had an ideal: it wanted to take a certain little guy to travel this world, to see the endless waters, the transparent and cold mountains, and the rock throne of the ancient era.

Goddess Shataye was exceptionally devout, kneeling on a mat in the corner praying. At first glance, she looked like she was being ostracized, but in reality, that was not the case. In the boss team, Goddess Shataye at full combat power ranked second. Unless the Heretic Execution Squad died until only one person remained, no one could shake her combat power ranking.

The Heretic Execution Squad was just like that. A full team of twelve was not the strongest. Every time one member died in battle, the others would become one point stronger. Teammates sacrificing themselves made them stronger and stronger. When only one person remained, they had a 50% chance of winning in a one-on-one fight with Su Xiao.

The current combat power ranking was: Su Xiao > Goddess Shataye > Heretic Execution Squad > Insect Lord Hash > Amu (temporarily swallowed the Source) > Old Knight > Yueling > Baha > Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang > Benny.

There was a reason Baha's ranking was low. It was an assassination type. Su Xiao had only broken through the 200-point attribute barrier not long ago, which meant Baha's several main attributes hadn't been activated and grown through potential yet. It didn't need resources; it needed time. As long as it experienced a few more Eighth-Tier worlds, Baha's combat power would be top-notch, even surpassing Amu.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the Apocalypse Paradise and Sanctuary Paradise teams to arrive in this world.

The next morning, people from the Kodo School came to visit. The general meaning was that if there was anything needed, they could contact them, and they sincerely invited Goddess Shataye to the Kodo School's headquarters, but she ignored them.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Old Royal Capital, Taluo, in a long-abandoned park, weeds grew wildly on the ground, and a wanderer covered in tattered cloth died by the flower bed.

Spatial fluctuations flashed and vanished. Several figures appeared in the park. They were dressed differently, four men and two women.

"Just running errands, the reward is unexpectedly generous."

A man in a suit spoke. He tapped his chest, and his clothing changed rapidly, turning into noble attire.

"Tianshen, you've had disguise permission since the First Tier, so it doesn't matter what you wear."

A woman with her hair in a bun spoke. She wore a long dress and high heels. Her name was Nidia, an Eighth-Tier contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise, whose combat power was in the top tier of the Eighth Tier, a plant summoning type.

"Personal habit."

The man called Tianshen looked at the sky. The overcast clouds made him narrow his eyes. This world gave him an ominous feeling.

"There is very likely an Old God in this world. Everyone stay away from that thing."

"Heard of the Old Gods. Supposedly they are very strong?"

Nidia squatted halfway while speaking, stuffing a seed into a crack in the stone on the ground.

"It's not just a question of strength. Old Gods erode will, soul, and body energy. Fighting an Old God requires 'entry qualifications.' There are several types of technique-types that are good at fighting Old Gods, such as the Sword Master's mental control immunity, or the Sword Master's energy erosion resistance. This is the 'entry qualification'."

Tianshen took out various instruments. He needed to launch small and medium-sized satellites in this world, which would help him in battle.

This was the Apocalypse Paradise team carrying the supply box, responsible for trading with the Sanctuary Paradise team.

Among these people, Tianshen was the strongest, so the team was named after his codename. The Tianshen team consisted of six people:

Tianshen (Male, 29 years old): Main combat force, technology side, the team's strongest combat force.

Nidia (Female, 28 years old): Main combat force, plant summoning type.

Tyrant (Male, 35 years old): Main combat force, tank type (can use domain suppression).

Big-Eyed Man (Male, 18 years old): Eighth-Tier top-tier perception type, barrier type.

Green Dog (Gender?, Age?): Eighth-Tier top-tier control type, barrier type.

Little Fairy (Female, 19 years old): Eighth-Tier top-tier healing type, barrier type/secondary type.

It could be said that the Apocalypse Paradise team configuration was very reasonable. Just the barrier type alone had three people, to prevent the supply box from being snatched.

"Let's go, to the trading location."

Tianshen looked around at the people present. Before entering this world, several people had understood each other at the interstellar transfer station, and they all knew that the trading location was not in the "Old Royal Capital, Taluo," but in the "Ruined City, Shaoguang."

That was a dual-notarized area where neither side of the trade dared to act recklessly, making it the most suitable trading location. Through the teleportation array, they could arrive directly at the outskirts of Shaoguang.

Actually, the Old Royal Capital was not bad, but it was only notarized by the Apocalypse Paradise.

"Late. I am the guide."

A girl with short pink hair ran over. It was Morey.

"The guide has arrived. What should we call you?"

Tianshen looked Morey up and down, and after confirming that Morey was fine, he nodded.

"Morey, Battle Angel."

Morey grinned, revealing her small tiger teeth. She had good luck this time. Just after entering this world, she received a mission. The mission content was very simple: before the trading team arrived, go to Shaoguang to investigate whether any suspicious personnel were coming and going. For the past few days, Morey had been busy with this.

Morey had already confirmed that the situation in the Ruined City, Shaoguang, was very stable. The mission reward this time was simply resources delivered to her door, and it was a very large amount of resources, equivalent to all the gains she would get from slaughtering her way through a world.

Moreover, six Eighth-Tier top-tier powerhouses were teleported here this time. Very stable!

Thinking of these, Morey smiled even more brilliantly. She didn't know how long she could maintain this sunny and brilliant mood.
