Chapter 3159: The Big Shot Named Xianji

The fluctuations inside the gallery dissipated, and the corpse sitting on the iron chair exploded into a large amount of flesh and blood, which turned into ash as soon as it hit the ground.

The Gray Gentleman had made full preparations, and having discovered that Su Xiao was an alchemist, he had cleaned up the body he used so thoroughly. It could only be said that the Gray Gentleman was truly worried about Su Xiao taking away his flesh and blood tissue to track him.

There is a saying: "Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred." But the Gray Gentleman's current move could be called "Help the enemy 999, gain 999 himself."

Undoubtedly, the Gray Gentleman's purpose in coming to this world from beginning to end was the Death Grail, and everything he did revolved around this grail.

All of this started when S-109 (Gaze Eye) was brought to the real world.

Initially, the Gray Gentleman was not trying to calculate Su Xiao; his goal was only to bring S-109 (Gaze Eye) back to the real world so that the Gaze Eye could be used in other native worlds.

When the Gray Gentleman was finishing up his plan in the real world, he encountered Gulu. Originally, the Gray Gentleman was prepared to teach Gulu a lesson and leave her alive, as he had to give face to the Tuanzhang. As a rule-breaker, the Gray Gentleman would not take the initiative to provoke the Tuanzhang. In the Gray Gentleman's view, provoking the Tuanzhang before becoming strong to a certain degree was an extremely idiotic and brain-dead behavior.

What the Gray Gentleman did not expect was that the person responsible for handling the Gaze Eye in the real world was actually Su Xiao.

This made the Gray Gentleman overjoyed. His previous world progress was coming to the Alliance World, and he had even brought the Gaze Eye to the real world through a contractor. The Gray Gentleman who could do these things certainly knew one thing: after Su Xiao temporarily destroyed the Gaze Eye, the remaining ash left behind was the key to entering the Alliance World. In the next world, there was an 80% or higher probability that Su Xiao would enter the Alliance World.

After confirming this, the Gray Gentleman's mood was even better. In fact, what he had originally plotted in the Alliance World was not S-109 (Gaze Eye), but S-002 (Death Grail).

To bring the Death Grail out of the Alliance World, it was necessary to trigger an event notarized by the Tree of the Void. The prerequisites for this event were quite complex, requiring travel between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.

The last time the Gray Gentleman plotted for the Death Grail, he cooperated with a top-tier Tier 8 violator called the Soul King. For this, the Gray Gentleman paid a reward. The result was that when bearing the final judgment, the Gray Gentleman successfully passed the willpower judgment, while the Soul King immediately had diarrhea on the spot, failed the soul judgment, and his body exploded into ten million pieces.

It was fortunate that the Gray Gentleman had left a backup plan, using his secret puppet to replace the punishment. The secret puppet he had never been willing to use was scrapped on the spot, a huge loss.

Originally, the Gray Gentleman had given up, prepared to make do with S-109 (Gaze Eye) after obtaining it. But after learning that Su Xiao was about to enter the Alliance World, the Gray Gentleman immediately decided to enter the world together.

Why had the Gray Gentleman's puppet not shown its face since entering this world? The reason was that he was preparing to trigger the "Death Grail Event," during which he traveled back and forth between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent many times.

At that time, the Gray Gentleman could not be sure whether the Soul King could pass the soul judgment, but the Gray Gentleman could be sure that Su Xiao definitely could. In the words of the Priest: "That guy's soul strength, you, me, and Xianji combined might not even be as high as his. The soul strength to face the gaze of a Tier 8 Ancient God is more terrifying than you imagine."

The Gray Gentleman had estimated that this damn mission exceeded the endurance limit of Tier 8 contractors nine times out of ten, which was why no one had taken the Death Grail away for so many years. He himself could not take it away, but if Su Xiao were added, he would block the willpower judgment, and Su Xiao would block the soul judgment.

After success, relying on his authority as the squad founder, he would give up all gains except the Death Grail. In this way, he had a high probability of obtaining the Death Grail that had not been split and was not severely weakened.

For the Gray Gentleman, even a Death Grail weakened by 90% was better than S-109 (Gaze Eye).

The Gray Gentleman had been cautious for a world and completed this matter at the last moment. Not only that, he had an even more flamboyant operation: before he came, he had first tricked Xianji into coming in.

For the Gray Gentleman, he knew Su Xiao would come to the Alliance World. He had clashed with Su Xiao many times, and the time on the Cangkong Continent had made him feel a bit autistic.

The Gray Gentleman believed that while he was plotting for the Death Grail, if he were targeted by Su Xiao again, he would have to ascend to heaven on the spot. He wouldn't be able to plot for the Death Grail; in a few days, his puppet would be slaughtered.

So the Gray Gentleman tricked Xianji into coming in first. He wanted Xianji to draw full hatred on Su Xiao's side, and then let Xianji bear Su Xiao's firepower. In this way, he could act in secret.

Things developed according to this situation. In the early stages of this world, Xianji was a big shot, hunting down strong people everywhere on the Eastern Continent and firmly occupying the top of the World's Source leaderboard.

The bad news started from then on. Xianji actually didn't do anything; she just chatted with Su Xiao on the contact platform, and then she became a public enemy, hostile to the Containment Structure, the Eclipse Organization, the Eastern Alliance, and the Southern Alliance. At that time, Xianji was unconvinced.

A few days later, Xianji became a bit silent. In the past, she always stayed in seven-star hotels, but at that time, she began to choose small motels and became low-key. The feeling of being hunted down by four major forces together was really not good.

At that time, Xianji always had one thought: to find Su Xiao and kill him with thunderous momentum. In a one-on-one fight, she would definitely win.

Not long after, the Western Continent war began. Xianji certainly participated, and then she was washed by artillery shells for several days. Xianji's mentality underwent a slight change.

When the war ended, Xianji still didn't give up. After she arrived at the Southern Continent, she discovered that due to the war, the four forces were in a honeymoon period after the war. As the common enemy of the four major forces, the intensity of the hunt for her was even more ruthless.

At that time, Xianji had an epiphany: being able to win 1-on-1 had no effect in this situation. She couldn't even see that hateful man. From beginning to end, she had only observed him from ten kilometers away through binoculars, and during that time, she was almost detected by the Institution members protecting him.

Xianji left and went to the vast ocean. Upon learning of this, the Gray Gentleman immediately tried to persuade her. If Xianji, who was bearing the firepower, left, the possibility of the Gray Gentleman being exposed would naturally increase.

Xianji's reply was exceptionally simple, only one sentence: "Get lost, you old hag."

By this time, how could Xianji not know that she had been used by the Gray Gentleman? Recalling the whole process, Xianji's chest hurt from anger, and she rubbed it for a long time, but it still hurt. It could be said that both Bai Ye and the Gray Gentleman were showing off, and only she, Xianji, was getting beaten. Why? Is being an old schemer amazing? Huh?!

Xianji left with such humiliation, which was very inconsistent with her personality. Her current thought was: "The Tree-Born World is her home field. Now she must be calm; only by enduring will there be a future. She is not angry at all, not at all!!!"

It could only be said that it was truly hard for Xianji. Among the three, she was clearly the strongest, but she was first tricked by the Gray Gentleman, then hammered by Su Xiao, and then tricked again, and hammered again.

Is Xianji strong? Of course she is strong. Not only is she strong, but she also knows how to weigh pros and cons, as well as appropriate forbearance. Compared to those strong but reckless people, Xianji is much harder to deal with.

Su Xiao stood in front of the gallery. Being calculated this time was certainly not depressing. He had obtained 100 Soul Crystals (Complete), 10.7% of the World's Source, a Soul Casket (soul equipment treasure chest), and Basic Passive: Soul Resilience (skill scroll).

Adding these gains together, Su Xiao only wanted to say that in the future, if there is such a good thing, he must not forget to call him. Presumably, the Gray Gentleman really had no way to deal with the soul judgment, which was why he resorted to this desperate measure.

Although the gains this time were extremely rich, one must also be vigilant. The Gray Gentleman had obtained the Death Grail; heaven knows what tricks the Gray Gentleman could pull with the Death Grail.

Su Xiao looked at the scroll in his hand. This scroll called 【Basic Passive: Soul Resilience】 was no less valuable to him than the Death Grail.

Basic passives all have corresponding physical attributes. For example, the "Basic Passive: Recovery" that Su Xiao mastered corresponds to the true intelligence attribute, "Basic Passive: Body Soul" corresponds to the true stamina attribute, and the "Basic Passive: Soul Resilience" obtained this time corresponds to soul strength.

【Basic Passive: Soul Resilience, Lv. 1.】

Type: Basic Passive Scroll.

Prerequisite: Soul Strength 5 points.

Skill Effect 1: Soul damage dealt is increased by 3% (This characteristic applies to all of one's own abilities that can cause soul damage, such as Blade Master, Soul Gaze, etc.).

Skill Effect 2: Soul Energy Tier +1.

Prompt: This characteristic currently only reduces the soul damage received. With subsequent improvements, it will bring multi-faceted benefits.

Prompt: The level of "Soul Energy Tier" is the prerequisite for mastering more than 75.65% of high-level soul abilities and the prerequisite for using more than 92.53% of high-level soul equipment.

Prompt: Your profession inheritance is Shadow of the Law-Breaker. If you want to master the "Soul-Severing Shadow" ability, you must ensure that your Soul Energy Tier is 5 or higher.
