Chapter 3451: Lamb and Assimilation

In the Wang Gong rear courtyard, a large group of black-armored guards blocked this place, almost reaching the point of being crowded.

Layers of semi-transparent barriers covered the outside, looking like large bowls turned upside down. These barriers were actually spherical, half on the ground and half underground, to avoid the enemy escaping by tunneling.

If the silver-armored guards were the elite among the Elf race soldiers, then the black-armored guards were the elite among the elite, guarding the Wang Gong and protecting the Elf race's power center.

At this moment, at least 20,000 black-armored guards were blocking inside the barrier and surrounded the Kingdom Council Hall.

Outside the barrier, Su Xiao stood on the steps behind the Wang Palace. Not far from him were the Elf Wang and the five Wang Zu.

Being in this place, the situation inside the barrier was clear at a glance. He thought it wouldn't be long before the Priest and the Immortal Fairy and the others would kill out from the Wang Gong Council Hall and rush to the misty rear courtyard.

Besides the 20,000 black-armored soldiers inside the barrier, there were 10,000 black-armored guards and nearly 70,000 city guards waiting outside the barrier. This was to prevent any accidents. As long as the situation inside the barrier wasn't right, the barrier would open an entrance, letting the soldiers rush into it.

Inside the Kingdom Council Hall, a large group of black-armored guards surrounded the Priest and the others. The Priest's expression was still as calm as ever, or rather, even if he was about to face death in the next second, he wouldn't show any look of fear. Would someone who dared to covet the power of the Ancient God fear death?

The Immortal Fairy, Underworld Wolf, and Iron Mountain didn't have this calmness. Their expressions were very ugly. Among them, the Immortal Fairy asked:

"Priest, this isn't a council ruling at all. This is a trap."

"Yes, you are smarter than just now."

"At this time, don't say these meaningless nonsense. Let's kill our way out together."

The Immortal Fairy's rear skirt gradually expanded. This skirt split and turned into strips of skirt ribbons wrapped around weapons. Numerous weapons hung behind her, with blade tips facing forward, shining with cold light. At a glance, it looked like the Immortal Fairy had hundreds of light and slender stinging tails.

"You said we kill our way out together?"

The Priest tilted his head toward the Immortal Fairy with suspicion.

"Is there any problem?"

The Immortal Fairy's voice already carried a hint of coldness. At this time, if the Priest stabbed her in the back, she wouldn't mind stabbing the Priest first.

"Immortal Fairy, you might have misunderstood something. I can give you... 15 minutes. If you can kill your way out of the barrier within 15 minutes, I guarantee you will survive. If you can't rush out of the barrier within 15 minutes, I can only take action. To tell you the truth, I am just a member of the clergy and am not good at fighting."

The Priest's words made the Immortal Fairy, Underworld Wolf, and Iron Mountain unable to understand.

"At this time..."

The Immortal Fairy was a bit angry.

"Immortal Fairy, if you can survive this time, think more with your brain in the future. I don't take action to give you a chance to survive. I am currently tethered to more than a hundred life souls. You wouldn't want to join forces with me to meet the enemy in this sealed barrier, right? You still have 15 minutes. After rushing out of the barrier, I will take you away from Bei City alive."

After the Priest finished this sentence, he took out an hourglass from his bosom and stood it on the table, then he leaned on the chair, preparing to take a nap.

The Immortal Fairy gave a light scoff. She felt that the Priest had entered the wrong paradise. This style was too much like those people in the Reincarnation Paradise.

"Are the mental patients in your Reincarnation Paradise all like this?"

The Immortal Fairy looked at Underworld Wolf.

"Cough~, some are. Don't look at me like that, I'm quite normal."

"Two, stop chatting. Those soldiers are pressing over."

Iron Mountain's body turned into metal, and an arm shield appeared on his left arm. He roared angrily and rushed toward the black-armored guards, very brave.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from the Kingdom Council Hall, and inside was the dense sound of shouting and killing.

Five minutes later.

Puchi, puchi, puchi...

Dense sounds of hacking and killing came from the entrance of the Kingdom Council Hall. After a shock, the metal giant door and the walls on both sides were shattered, and large pieces of flesh and twisted corpses flew out.

Further inside, Underworld Wolf exhaled cold mist from his mouth. He was already wolf-humanized at this moment. His hair was pitch black and drifted freely. Between these approximately 10-centimeter-long drifting hairs, electric arcs faintly flickered.

Crack.

Underworld Wolf crushed a head in his hand. The headless black-armored guard's corpse fell to the ground, and the cone spear in his hand fell to the rock board with a clang. This cone spear was about three meters long, with a slender spear blade, and saw-toothed barbs on both sides.

This was the characteristic of the black-armored guards' weapons. As the Wang Gong guard army, the enemies they faced were basically strong people who had sneaked in. This kind of weapon, which was long enough and had saw-toothed barbs on both sides of the spear blade, was very suitable for besieging strong people.

Inside the Kingdom Council Hall, which had been riddled with holes, a strong figure was nailed to the wall by more than a dozen cone spears. It was Iron Mountain. Under the siege of the black-armored guards, he was the first to collapse.

In the rear courtyard, in the siege of a large group of black-armored guards, Underworld Wolf and the Immortal Fairy had their backs to each other. Between them stood the kind-looking Priest.

From the start of the battle until now, the Priest hadn't taken action. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Once he took action in the barrier, the Immortal Fairy and Underworld Wolf would definitely die. The Priest didn't sell his teammates this time.

Clang, clang, clang...

Sharp rays of light slashed past in front of the Immortal Fairy. With her as the starting point, all the enemies rushing from 240 degrees in front and on both sides were shattered by her. Such a large killing angle made the pressure on Underworld Wolf, who had his back to the Immortal Fairy, greatly reduced.

Underworld Wolf's height was almost four meters. Against the backdrop of his wolf-humanized upper body, his wolf-humanized legs looked a bit thin.

Bang.

Underworld Wolf slammed a fist into the cone spears that were stabbing over. Several black-armored guards in front were blasted back. Taking this opportunity, Underworld Wolf grabbed a black-armored guard and bit his neck and half of his chest with his wolf mouth full of sharp teeth. After a terrifying sucking sound, the black-armored guard grabbed by Underworld Wolf turned into a dried corpse.

Absorbing a large amount of life force, the wound on Underworld Wolf's chest and abdomen healed quickly. He discovered just after fighting these black-armored guards that these black-armored guards not only had strong attack ability, but their defense wasn't weak either. More importantly, they were brave and not afraid of death.

"Kill!"

The black-armored guards around shouted in unison. Black light emerged from their bodies. They held the cone spears at their waists with both hands and besieged the Immortal Fairy and Underworld Wolf in a ring formation.

The first ring of black-armored guards stabbed their spears neatly. The black-armored guards behind jumped up, throwing the cone spears in their hands while in mid-air. The black-armored guards further behind did the same.

The Immortal Fairy and Underworld Wolf found that it had turned dark around them. A cone spear filled the surroundings. Underworld Wolf looked up at the light above, but didn't see the sky, but saw the faint light flashing on the barrier.

In the sound of breaking wind, cone spears shot over. The Immortal Fairy's skirt ribbons coiled and tightened, then spread and slashed.

After the crisp sound of ding-ding-dang-dang, most of the cone spears attacking from the surroundings were swept away.

Slap!

A cone spear vibrated. It was a black-armored guard captain who took the opportunity to kick Underworld Wolf away.

Underworld Wolf landed in a half-squat posture. The Immortal Fairy, more than ten meters away, didn't hesitate and immediately rushed toward Underworld Wolf. At this time, both knew that only by huddling together could they kill their way out. 【3451-

Unfortunately, everything was destined from the moment this ruling began. The Black Armor Guards formed two battle groups, separating Fairy Ji from Nether Wolf.

A few minutes later, a roar carrying a shockwave spread out. Looking at Nether Wolf now, his black fur was matted with blood. Several cone spears were stabbed into his body, and six or seven bone-piercing nails connected to chains were driven into him. Each chain was being pulled by over a dozen Black Armor Guards, nearly stripping Nether Wolf of his ability to move.

"Kill!"

The Black Armor Guards wore stern expressions, thrusting their cone spears at Nether Wolf. Nether Wolf made a move to dodge, but his left arm and right leg were yanked by the chains, forcing him to one knee.

"Hey, you half-werewolf over there, do you want to go to the Tree-Born World and join in the fun?"

"Scram."

"Your quality needs improvement. Since I happen to be free, let me tell you about my plan."

Nether Wolf recalled the scene where the Gray Gentleman had approached him earlier.

"I wish you... success."

Nether Wolf spoke in a low voice. The next second, a cone spear pierced his skull, followed by his chest and abdomen, finally pinning him dead to the ground.

Not far away.

"Ah!!"

A loud shout erupted from the siege of the Black Armor Guards. Fairy Ji's aura exploded completely, and the ribbons wrapped around her weapons danced wildly, flashing with cold light against the backdrop of water mist. Unfortunately, this shout from Fairy Ji was instantly drowned out by the war cries of the Black Armor Guards.

Outside the barrier, Su Xiao saw this scene and suddenly felt it looked familiar. This scene gave him a sense of déjà vu. After a moment of recollection, he remembered that when Fei Shi was besieged to death, it seemed to be a similar kind of unwillingness. History is always so shockingly similar.

"Kukulin Bai Ye!"

Fairy Ji, her clothes stained with blood, charged toward Su Xiao. Fluorescent white flames ignited on her body; she was burning her origin life force.

Thud!

A muffled sound came from in front of Su Xiao. He stood outside the barrier, where weapons wrapped in ribbons were stabbed into the inner wall of the barrier. Among these weapons, many had already developed cracks.

Separated by only a single barrier, Fairy Ji inside glared at Su Xiao. She pressed one hand against the inner wall of the barrier and slowly scratched downward, making a harsh sound like glass being scraped.

Splat!

A cone spear thrown from behind struck, piercing Fairy Ji's back. But she didn't look back. The Black Armor Guards were ridiculously strong, all having endured the erosion of Abyss power. In the Elf Kingdom, there was no shortage of elite individuals. That Fairy Ji and the others could hold out for so long was already very impressive.

"I'll wait for you in Purgatory. The next one to die... will be you."

After Fairy Ji finished speaking, she took a big step back. Ribbons wrapped around weapons enveloped her. Then, these ribbons formed a spiral shape and twisted fiercely, blooming like a giant flower as blood mist drifted out from within.

Fairy Ji was dead. She had used her own ability to tear herself to pieces. This woman was not only ruthless to her enemies but also to herself.

Fairy Ji, Nether Wolf, and Tie Shan had all died suddenly. Only the Priest remained. He stood now in the encirclement of the Black Armor Guards, cone spears pressed against his neck, his hands already bound by shackles.

"Young man, do you have any family?"

The Priest spoke to the Black Armor Guard who was putting leg shackles on him, only to be ignored by the guard.

"You must cherish life and have faith in the gods, but do not be like me—carelessly devouring the god you believe in."

Hearing this, the Black Armor Guard shackling him remained indifferent.

"God says that all evil in this world originates from me."

As the Priest spoke, he folded his fingers together, clasping his hands, and stepped forward.

Seeing the Priest's suspicious action, the Black Armor Guard captain nearby naturally didn't hold back, sweeping his spear blade down to decapitate the Priest.

The Priest's head and body were separated. A head quickly regenerated from his severed neck. Even more exaggeratedly, the Priest's head that hadn't yet hit the ground used that as a starting point to regenerate a torso and limbs, eventually even forming a death-white robe.

This garment was a long robe that looked like it was made of layers of dried skin—very eerie and evil.

The Priest, now split into two, still kept his hands clasped. They turned their backs to each other and walked in different directions.

Seeing this, the Black Armor Guard captains ordered their subordinates to stop and retreat, forming a circle.

The Black Armor Guards were afraid that the Priest would split from two into four, which would be disastrous. Thus, they chose to surround him without killing him, intending to capture him alive.

The wish was beautiful, but the two Priests in the field stopped in their tracks.

Bang! Bang!

The Priests exploded on their own, turning into large amounts of flesh and blood that splattered the surroundings. Seeing this, the surrounding Black Armor Guards couldn't help but feel fear. They were never afraid of strong enemies, but this was the first time they had seen such a bizarre situation.

"Fire!"

After the sharp shout, a Black Armor Guard captain, whose palms were glowing red and whose weapon had melted into molten iron, pressed one hand onto the flesh and blood on the ground.

Sizzle~

White smoke rose. In the astonished eyes of everyone, this Black Armor Guard captain aged rapidly. The armor on his body decayed into ash, and the aging skin shedding from his body formed a death-white robe. His appearance became more and more like the Priest's, eventually becoming identical to him.

This wasn't even the most terrifying part. The two Priests from before had exploded into large amounts of flesh and blood; now, this flesh surged, and a piece the size of a palm was enough to regenerate a sub-body of the Priest.

Where did the energy for regeneration come from? The answer was from the tethered souls. Even from a great distance, it could be extracted through a method similar to faith transmission. Before leaving, the Priest had tethered 142 soul strands.

A few seconds later, a large crowd of Priests stood in the back courtyard, all wearing death-white robes and carrying kind, gentle smiles.

"Lost lamb."

"Lost lamb."

"Lost lamb."

One Priest after another spoke. Hearing these overlapping, seductive sounds, the surrounding Black Armor Guards looked dazed. They released their weapons and walked with stumbling steps toward the Priests in the encirclement.

"Lost lamb."

A Priest raised his hand and pressed it kindly onto the face of a Black Armor Guard. The guard aged rapidly. In less than three seconds, his armor and clothes decayed and fell off, a death-white robe appeared on his body, and he turned into the Priest's likeness. Not only that, he turned around, walked toward another Black Armor Guard, raised his hand to press it on the other's face, and said:

"Lost lamb."

The situation spiraled out of control in a short time. The Priest could neither be killed nor touched. He didn't have Fairy Ji's flashy combat abilities, but just hearing the two words "lost lamb" was enough to make people lose their sanity, walk toward him in a daze, and be assimilated.

"Kill! Every ability has a limit."

A Black Armor Guard captain shouted. The surrounding Black Armor Guards who still had their wits clapped their hands over their ears until they heard a buzzing sound and couldn't hear anything, then charged toward the Priests in the field.

Outside the barrier, the Elf King and the five royal descendants watching the battle all had solemn expressions. In fact, the five royal descendants were somewhat stunned; they had seen many terrifying enemies, but they had truly never seen anyone as bizarre as the Priest.

"Your Majesty, we..."

Royal descendant Eliton's words were interrupted by the Elf King raising his hand. The Elf King looked at Su Xiao and asked, "Bai Ye, do you really have a way to kill the Priest?"

"Yes."

"Then get rid of him."

"Are you sure?"

Su Xiao's question, "Are you sure," made the Elf King's brows knit tightly.

The Elf King didn't know what method Su Xiao intended to use, but he estimated that even if he asked, he would just be brushed off by Su Xiao.

"Initially, the Priest's individual count was 1. Later, he split from 1 to 2. Right now, I estimate there are over 3,000. If my calculations are correct, there is a high probability that in 10 minutes, his individual count will exceed 20,000."

Su Xiao didn't know exactly how the Priest's ability worked. Others grew stronger by becoming gradually more powerful, while the Priest just became increasingly bizarre.

"Eliminate him as quickly as possible."

The Elf King made his decision. He could already see that 20,000 Black Armor Guards seemed unable to do anything to the Priest. The enclosed terrain inside the barrier was the Priest's absolute home field.

Having received the Elf King's definitive answer, Su Xiao took out a 【Fury of the Sun · Apollo】 and activated it.

The moment Apollo was activated, a terrifying fluctuation spread out. The Elf King, the five royal descendants, and the others were all shocked.

Seeing this, Su Xiao said:

"This is a high-yield explosive called Apollo. Its blast radius is 3,000 meters. Once activated, it cannot be stopped. The activation time is 15 seconds. Counting the time I've been speaking, there are now 10 seconds left."

Su Xiao appeared completely unhurried.

"Your Majesty, there are still 20,000 Black Armor Guards inside!"

A hook-nosed royal descendant spoke in a deep voice. He had already realized that if Apollo were thrown into the barrier, the Priest would certainly die, but those nearly 20,000 Black Armor Guards would definitely not survive either.

Su Xiao tossed the already-primed Apollo in his hand. His meaning was clear: either throw it into the barrier, or throw it in any direction. If his "hand slipped" and he didn't throw it into the sky, it would be unclear who would get blown up.

Su Xiao had many reasons for taking out Apollo, summarized as follows:

1. To deal with the Priest.

2. After getting rid of the Priest, to prevent the Elf royal family from turning hostile, making them wary of the power of the Fury of the Sun · Apollo. If this thing exploded in the "Royal Palace" or the "Rear City District," the Elf race would cry themselves to sleep in the bathroom.

3. The Elf race had been probing him all along, and Su Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite. He hadn't joined the Elf faction yet, which meant that killing the Black Armor Guards would likely yield rewards.

4. To delay the time before turning hostile with the Elf race. Sometimes, showing sufficient strength and destructive power makes those who might become enemies wary. In this way, the Elf race wouldn't dare to think about imprisoning Su Xiao to make him concoct potions or similar things, but would instead engage in equal trade.

With these three points in mind, Su Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite. His attitude now was: either open the barrier so he could throw Apollo inside, or he would just throw it into the Rear City District.

From the moment Su Xiao entered Bei City until he activated this Apollo, the Elf race had acted as if they were the bosses here. Even if Su Xiao was a Law Breaker, he was just an outsider, not worthy of standing on equal footing with them.

"5, 4, 3..."

Apollo was 3 seconds away from exploding when the barrier suddenly opened a gap.

Bang.

Apollo broke through a wave of air and flew into the barrier. As the gap in the barrier closed, over a hundred barrier masters simultaneously channeled their abilities to reinforce, reinforce, and reinforce the barrier again.

Thud!!

A muffled explosion came from within the barrier. The Elf King, the five royal descendants, and Fen Wei, the guard beside Su Xiao, all felt the ground beneath their feet shaking. Even standing outside the barrier, they felt a scorching sensation on their faces. Over a hundred barrier masters were reinforcing the barrier with all their might, yet it was still covered in cracks.

Inside the giant spherical barrier, only golden solar flames remained. After the explosion, buildings, ponds, and even the soil were vaporized. At the center of the flames, a human figure carbonized rapidly.

"In the end, I still lost to you."

The aged voice gradually dissipated in the flames. The remains were burned to ash, and the ash was vaporized into gas by the high temperature.

The solar flames continued to burn. Su Xiao didn't pay attention to this; after Apollo exploded, his notifications were flooding the screen.

【You have killed Black Armor Guard · Elite. You obtained 27 Soul Coins.】

【You have killed Black Armor Guard. You obtained "Abyssal Aberrant Crystallization".】

【You have killed Black Armor Guard · Elite. You obtained 28 Soul Coins.】

【You have killed Black Armor Guard · Squad Leader. You obtained 107 Soul Coins.】

Not every Black Armor Guard killed yielded Soul Coins; only killing the elites or squad leaders among them did. Although these individuals weren't many, after Su Xiao checked the current amount of Soul Coins, he found that he had obtained 35,267 Soul Coins this time! A huge sum of money was in hand.

Besides this huge sum, Su Xiao also obtained quite a few 【Abyssal Aberrant Crystallizations】. They weren't in his hands yet; he had to wait for the solar flames to extinguish and go into the barrier to pick them up. He just hoped this stuff wouldn't be burned to dust, or that would be a huge loss. The ownership of these items was already Su Xiao's, and he tried to check their attributes from a distance.

【Abyssal Aberrant Crystallization】

Origin: Tree-Born World / All worlds highly eroded by Abyss power.

Quality: Immortal

Type: Enhancement item.

Introduction: Aberrant Abyssal power is contained within. The power of the Abyss is fair; while it brings something, it also takes something away.

Su Xiao continued to scroll down through the notifications. Soon, a long row of kill notifications appeared, which made him feel slightly surprised.

【You have killed Rule-Breaker No. 17***56 (Death Paradise).】

【You have killed Rule-Breaker No. 12***90 (Holy Light Paradise).】

【You have killed Rule-Breaker No. 15***11 (Apocalypse Paradise).】

Su Xiao scrolled down; there were over a hundred notifications in total, which earned him 189 points of Killing Merit, plus 265 Diamond Honor Medals.

This made Su Xiao think that the Priest's terrifying ability must have been built on the foundation of scamming others. Now that he had been blown up by an Apollo and burned in the barrier for so long, that method had been broken. The more sub-bodies the Priest split into, the faster the sub-bodies derived, and conversely, every time he was killed, the number of times he died wasn't as simple as dying once.

Su Xiao estimated that the Priest had scammed at least over a hundred rule-breakers to have so many kill notifications.

Scrolling to the very bottom, he finally saw the few notifications he wanted to see.

【You have killed High-Risk Rule-Breaker No. 170042.】

【You obtained 1 point + 70 points of Killing Merit (Target kill reward + Killing Merit owned by the target).】

【You obtained 82 Diamond Honor Medals.】

【You obtained Necronomicon (Under high-intensity seal).】

A thread-bound old book floated in front of Su Xiao. This book was about a thumb's thickness, and the edges of each page were uneven. It felt as if many leather pages had been bound together.

This evil tome, made from human skin, god skin, and the skin of Void alien existences, was definitely not a good thing. The aura on it could no longer be described as evil; even a slight visual contact would bring a sense of slightly dizzying obsession.

"Elf King, this is the loot I obtained. Your Elf race suffered heavy casualties this time; let this secret tome serve as compensation."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, the Elf King examined the "Necronomicon" with interest. After a moment, he stopped looking at this evil tome. The Elf race's situation was already bad enough; if he got another evil tome, that would truly be "happy" to the point of flying away.

Realizing the Elf King didn't want it, Su Xiao took out a charcoal box and stored the "Necronomicon" without touching it.

Su Xiao would absolutely never read this thing. There were too many dangers in this world; he even suspected that if this thing clashed with the Abyss Jar, it wouldn't be intimidated.

Su Xiao's plan was that since the ownership of the "Necronomicon" now belonged to him, he shouldn't avoid it. If he were truly targeted by this thing, it would be miserable. So, he would store it away first without reading it, and when he encountered a "fated person" in the future, he would just give the "Necronomicon" to them.

Su Xiao could feel that the "Necronomicon" didn't like him either, to the point that it wasn't even prepared to latch onto him.

Come to think of it, dangerous items like this generally didn't like the identities of Reincarnation Paradise Hunters or Law Breakers. And Su Xiao was both a Hunter and a Law Breaker—super unpopular with dangerous items. Last time he contacted the Abyss Jar, he was even disliked by it.

Su Xiao's thought was that since the "Necronomicon" didn't like him, that was even better. He would give it away once he found a fated person, which could be considered establishing a "good connection" between the "Necronomicon" and that fated person.

Before giving it away, Su Xiao planned to use the "Necronomicon" to fish for Evil Gods when he had the chance in the future. The fluctuations of this thing should be quite attractive to Evil Gods.

If the "Necronomicon" cooperated, he wouldn't mind sharing some of the Evil God loot obtained with it.

Su Xiao put away the charcoal box. This was made by burning Black Maple tree branches into charcoal and then compressing that charcoal. He had previously used this charcoal box to store the roots of the "Overgrowth Frenzy," which proved the stability of this thing.

Su Xiao closed the notifications. From the notifications, he had gotten rid of the Priest, and the "Necronomicon" had appeared.

The problem was that this old guy had a criminal record. Last time in the Holy Land of Kiliad, Su Xiao had killed him once. Damn it, not long after he killed him, that guy showed up again, and he didn't come to fight Su Xiao to the death because he had been killed.

The Priest had killed a great number of contractors and rule-breakers. Last time during the World Conquest War on Magic Spirit Star, this old guy teamed up with Guild Leader Rogsh to scam hundreds of contractors from Sanctuary Paradise to their deaths, causing Sanctuary Paradise to withdraw directly from that World Conquest War.

Su Xiao looked into the barrier. The solar flames had already receded. After the Elf King gave the order, the barrier opened, and a wave of heat rushed toward them.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja began to clean up the loot, eventually finding 127 【Abyssal Aberrant Crystallizations】 and two Immortal-grade treasure chests.

The gold content of these two Immortal-grade treasure chests was on the lower side, which was normal. After tallying the gains, Su Xiao walked toward the front courtyard of the Royal Palace.

Noticing Su Xiao's actions, two of the five royal descendants made a move to stop him, but upon noticing the Elf King's expression, they remained silent.

"He won't leave; there's no need to send people to monitor him."

"But Your Majesty..."

"Would you give up an opportunity to obtain a large amount of resources? Don't worry, even if he leaves Bei City, he will return in a short time."

The Elf King was right. Even if Su Xiao left, it was only to go out temporarily to handle some business.

Inside a mansion in the front courtyard of the Royal Palace, Su Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. After searching around, he didn't find any traces of Crow Woman, Beast Howl, or Bee.

Leaving this mansion, Su Xiao walked into a two-story residence next door and locked the bedroom door from the inside.

Taking out the ancient idol from his bosom, he activated it. Gray mist swirled around Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja. He was returning to the ancient capital in the central region to go to "Ring Tree City" near the ancient capital.

Counting the Killing Merit in his hand and seven 100-point Killing Merit cards, Su Xiao's Killing Reputation broke through 1,000 points.

Over an hour later, in an unseen room in "Ring Tree City," Su Xiao stood before the World Shop and pressed his hand on it to activate it.

【Notification: You have activated the Tree-Born World · World Shop.】

【Current Killing Merit: 1,019 points.】

【The following items can be exchanged using Killing Merit.】

Su Xiao directly exchanged for the 【Chapter of Greed (World-class)】. Only what is in one's own hands is truly one's own.

A wooden plaque appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This wooden plaque was slightly cylindrical, about 10 centimeters in height and about 3 centimeters in thickness, with traces of damage at the bottom corner.

【You have consumed 1,000 points of Killing Merit.】

【You obtained Chapter of Greed (World-class).】

PS: (Regarding the Chapter of Greed, Fei Wen has decided to hold a vote in the free chapter tomorrow. The specific situation will be explained in tomorrow's free chapter).
