Chapter 3536: Sudden Change

Blood rain poured down. The central square, which had been bustling just moments ago, was now a scene of utter devastation, with civilians fleeing into nearby buildings.

The stone statue of the God of Eternal Life had come to life before everyone's eyes, roaring toward the sky. Its violent posture, no matter how one looked at it, did not belong to a benevolent deity.

Or rather, the chaotic malice exuded by the God of Eternal Life was something many Ancient Gods could not match.

Su Xiao did not know if the God of Eternal Life was the strongest divine entity he had ever encountered, but it was certainly the most frenzied and violent. Standing hundreds of meters away, he could faintly feel himself being affected by that madness and brutality.

Just as everyone believed a bloody battle was inevitable in the central square—one that might even engulf the entire central district—the God of Eternal Life spread its arms and roared. The next second, its claws pierced into its own chest, and it tore its torso completely open.

Snap!!

The dozen-meter-tall God of Eternal Life exploded into golden blood. These golden droplets splattered everywhere, covering the entire central square. However, this was not an attack; the droplets curled back toward the sky. Ten seconds later, the torrential blood rain stopped.

No matter how one looked at it, this was not the God of Eternal Life trying to break free, but rather someone deliberately breaking its seal. Yet, the God of Eternal Life had used its remaining conscious power to reseal the barrier.

The Duke, who had been prepared to fight to the death—even at the cost of the entire Rage Hammer Organization—was left bewildered by this scene. The reality was far too different from his expectations.

However, the sight of the God of Eternal Life tearing open its own chest and turning into a mass of golden blood reminded the Duke of something his grandfather had once said.

"If not for the gods, we would have long since become shells wandering in the dead silence."

The blood rain in the sky had only just stopped when a torrential downpour began. This time, it was normal rainwater, gradually washing the streets and houses clean.

"This..."

The masked man under the Duke spoke, completely lost. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered to the Duke:

"My lord, those man-eating monsters..."

Hearing this, the Duke felt a surge of anger brewing in his chest. This subordinate was exceptionally good at fighting and loyal, but his brain wasn't exactly sharp.

The noble youth, Klank, standing behind the Duke, immediately pulled the masked man back. At a time like this, why bring up man-eating monsters? Was he trying to ensure they were blamed for everything?

Seeing that everything had calmed down, the Duke breathed a sigh of relief. The Steam God Sect and the Healing Church competing for control over extraordinary events was one thing, but causing massive destruction in the most prosperous central district was another.

Otherwise, the Steam God Sect wouldn't have chosen to capture man-eating monsters that were strong and had high recovery rates but lacked large-scale destructive capabilities.

"Bai Ye, we have known each other for so long, and yet you were the first to suspect me."

The Duke looked at the pile of rubble in the center of the square. As long as the aftermath of this incident was handled well, he could still achieve his expected results.

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak. He raised his hand and pointed toward the northern district. Because the four districts were so vast, from the central street, one could only faintly see the large clock tower on the edge of the northern district.

The Duke followed Su Xiao's gaze. In the downpour, he saw a purple-black pillar of light standing between heaven and earth in the distance. That direction seemed to be the residence of the Vadi family.

Seeing this anomaly, the Duke instantly understood many things. First, there were two families planning to cause trouble on the God Sacrifice Day.

Among the four major factions, the Healing Church was the host of the God Sacrifice Day and was excluded first. As for the High Wall Council, they were mostly responsible for managing civilians; even if their extraordinary power here wasn't weak, it was mostly concentrated on public livelihood and taxation.

There were only two factions in the city that could not be dispensed with: the Healing Church and the High Wall Council. The former prevented the city from being eroded by the power of dead silence and turning into the wasteland outside.

The High Wall Council ensured stable population growth and the prosperity of the people in High Wall City.

The remaining two, the Steam God Sect and the Vadi family, were responsible for technological development and commerce, respectively. High Wall City would suffer greatly without them.

Previously, there were two parties intending to cause trouble on God Sacrifice Day: the Steam God Sect and the Vadi family.

The Steam God Sect's goal was pure. Although they were causing trouble, their intentions weren't malicious. Their plan was simple and crude: after the God Sacrifice Day began, they would release twenty-plus man-eating monsters in the central square, then the Rage Hammer Organization would appear. Under the eyes of the public, the members would capture or kill the monsters, and the Rage Hammer Organization's reputation would surely soar.

In terms of risk, even if this were exposed early, at most the other three parties would criticize the Steam God Sect; there would be no concrete punitive measures. The four factions were evenly matched in strength and treated High Wall City as a whole. If they truly fell out, no one would benefit.

As for where these man-eating monsters came from? Need one ask? The Vadi family had ignored the city's ban and secretly sold man-eating monsters, intending to domesticate them as laborers, but they had failed to guard them properly, allowing them to escape.

In the past, the Vadi family had a merchant's style. After being smeared, although they would be furious, they usually chose to curse and then act as if nothing had happened.

The Duke had indeed planned it this way. The problem was that he had truly underestimated the Vadi family this time. Compared to what the Vadi family had done in the northern district, the Duke releasing man-eating monsters was like a drop in the ocean.

The sudden blood rain and the resurrection of the God of Eternal Life's statue were all arranged by the Vadi family. Was the Vadi family trying to create a tragedy in the central square? No. Everything the Vadi family had set up was to deceive the public.

Today was God Sacrifice Day. The eyes of all extraordinary organizations would be fixed on the central square. Once there was a change here, over seventy percent of the extraordinary individuals in High Wall City would rush here at full speed.

At such a time, no matter what shocking things the Vadi family did in the northern district, no one would be there to stop them. Right now, that was exactly what they were doing.

Realizing this, the Duke looked at Su Xiao with an inquiring gaze.

"The Vadi family."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the Duke nodded, knowing that Su Xiao had also guessed the current situation.

"What is the Vadi family trying to do? Let the God of Eternal Life descend? If so, they have already succeeded. Bai Ye, what are your thoughts? You are more professional in this regard."

The Duke was not being humble. As the Deputy Dean of the Treatment Institute, Su Xiao was supposed to be a professional in this field.

Although Su Xiao's identity was a replacement, he had served as a Legion Commander of the Execution Agency, a God Hunter in the Watchman Guild of the Dark Prison World, and later as the leader of a containment organization in the Alliance Star. With such rich experience, he was naturally adept at handling such matters.

Although he hadn't reached the scene yet, Su Xiao already had a preliminary judgment about the purple-black pillar of light connecting heaven and earth in the northern district. Even without going there, the world rejection phenomenon was already strong enough to cause local spatial collapse.

In this ghost place of the Dark Continent, except for inside High Wall City, everywhere else had been eroded by the power of dead silence into wasteland. How "incongruous" must that purple-black pillar be to cause such world rejection in this world?

Don't forget, when Klank became the Son of the World earlier, the world didn't even react, just gave a bit of World Power and that was it.

But now, the world rejection phenomenon in the northern district was too strong. There was only one possibility: there were "extra-boundary existences" that had entered this world directly without any "warm-up." And it wasn't just one "extra-boundary existence," but possibly a group.

To use a simple analogy, when Su Xiao was on Pan Duola Star in the previous world, if the Nether Emperor had forced his way in without the preparation of Wu Ying Solaro, it would have been like this.

"It should be something from outside the sky. I don't know exactly what."

As Su Xiao spoke, he was already rushing toward the northern district in the rain. Seeing this, the Duke ordered the Rage Hammer Organization to guard the central square and invited several nuns from the nearby Healing Church Cathedral to use the psychic power of their Stigmata to soothe the panicked civilians. If there were no other changes, the God Sacrifice Day would continue; the statue of the God of Eternal Life had spare ones prepared years ago.

After issuing a series of orders, the Duke rushed in the direction where Su Xiao had disappeared.

In the downpour, Su Xiao, leaping across the rooftops, occasionally broke through a curtain of water, leaving behind a booming sound due to his high speed.

Previously, Su Xiao had always suspected the Steam God Sect because they had sufficient motive. Now it seemed he was both right and wrong.

What the Steam God Sect wanted to do seemed more like a self-directed act, while the commotion the Vadi family created in the northern district was completely insane, showing a willingness to stop at nothing. Looking at that level of madness, they would achieve their goal even if they razed High Wall City to the ground.

The Vadi family had gone completely mad. What kind of situation could force the Vadi family, who controlled nearly two-fifths of High Wall City's wealth, to this extent? This was what Su Xiao wanted to know most.

He estimated that this matter might be related to the Dead Silence City; otherwise, the promotion mission wouldn't point in this direction. One thing was certain: the final link of the promotion mission must point directly to the most fundamental thing within the Dead Silence City.

The sound of wind and rain whistled past his ears. When Su Xiao reached the edge of the northern district, the sky had become like dusk due to the downpour.

In the rain, Su Xiao stood on top of the large clock tower, overlooking the scene of the northern district. This area was more like an industrial zone of the Steam Age + Second Electrical Age. Large chimneys belching gray-yellow smog were visible everywhere. The sky was dim, and the rain caused the roof tiles to reflect light. At this moment, the purple-black pillar of light, hundreds of meters thick, standing between heaven and earth in the rear district, was particularly conspicuous.

It was a long way from the edge of the northern district to the rear district. Su Xiao had been prepared for this. After waiting for a moment, the person he was waiting for didn't come. The Duke leaped onto the top of the clock tower. The Duke said:

"The central park is stabilized. How is the northern district?"

"Too far, can't see clearly."

"Then let's go now. We can't delay any longer."

The Duke made a move to leap off the clock tower. A spatial fluctuation appeared below. In the top pavilion of the clock tower, a spatial ghost door opened. Xiusi, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baha walked out first.

Amu didn't come; he was left by Su Xiao in the central square to prevent any emergencies there. Su Xiao always kept a guard against the Duke.

After Xiusi closed the spatial ghost door, he pulled it open again after two seconds. With a boom, a light purple mist surged out from within. The distortion, madness, and ominousness contained within were too strong to be ignored.

"Connecting to the rear district in the north?"

The Duke spoke. Baha replied: "Yes, the location is near the Vadi family's manor."

Hearing this, the Duke looked at Xiusi. That somewhat fiery gaze made Xiusi subconsciously take a few steps back.

As the Duke walked toward the spatial ghost door, he asked: "The young man is not bad. Is he an adult?"

Hearing this, Xiusi subconsciously looked at Su Xiao, wanting to ask how to answer. Conversing with the Duke, the leader of the Steam God Sect, made him particularly nervous.

Finding that Su Xiao gave no indication, Xiusi could only nod.

"I have a daughter about your age."

After saying this, the Duke walked into the spatial ghost door, which left Xiusi even more at a loss.

"What's the matter? Interested? The Duke really does have a daughter about your age. To be precise, that is an independent individual cultivated by his eldest daughter using her own cells, which is to say, a younger sister. Don't be so surprised. The Steam God Sect has some technology you cannot imagine. Moreover, those people in the Duke's family have ways of thinking that are different from ordinary people."

Baha landed on Xiusi's shoulder, pressing Xiusi down with a grunt. Seeing this, Baha changed to landing on Su Xiao's shoulder.

Su Xiao took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. After about two minutes, the Duke walked out of the spatial ghost door again, saying with a gloomy expression: "Hurry up."

"Oh."

Seeing that the Duke wasn't dead and had no other abnormalities, Su Xiao walked into the spatial ghost door. There were few opportunities to use the Duke to probe for mines like this. The sudden change in the northern district had made the Duke's mind a bit chaotic. After all, if this matter was handled improperly, the Steam God Sect would have to take the blame.

Walking into the spatial ghost door, when the cold touch disappeared, the surrounding world became clear. The first thing that greeted them was the damp cold and the light purple mist.

This place was one kilometer in front of the Vadi family manor. Because of the existence of the Vadi manor, the surrounding residential area was either rich or noble, mostly two-story buildings or large single-story mansions.

But at this moment, with the Vadi family manor as the center, the surrounding building complex was very quiet. The dignitaries living here had all gone to the central district to participate in the God Sacrifice Day, leaving only servants behind.

These servants were all in the middle of running forward but had suddenly stopped. A twisted tree branch grew from between their eyebrows, and a crimson flower bloomed at the top of the branch.

These people died in extreme pain, especially since their expressions were frozen. Their mouths were wide open, their eyes were bulging, their hands were clutching their throats, their teeth were clenched, saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths, and tears and snot were streaming down.

A song without lyrics, purely hummed, came from somewhere. The voice sounded female.

Baha and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang reacted simultaneously. Baha dived into the different space, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang merged into the environment. The singing came too suddenly, and they could only use this to protect themselves. As for Su Xiao's safety, Baha and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were particularly at ease. According to their experience, this kind of singing was either targeting willpower or soul strength.

The singing entered Su Xiao's ears. He felt as if the vitality in his body was vibrating. A force was attempting to twist his biological vitality into plant vitality, thereby killing him. To this, he chose to ignore it.

A hand that could bend iron wire could not bend a solid iron pillar as thick as a water vat.

Sure enough, Su Xiao only felt his vitality stir slightly, and then there was no reaction. The caster clearly realized the situation and no longer wasted the effect of the spell on Su Xiao.

One of the Duke's mechanical eyes glowed red, and he began to scan the surroundings. For him, plant vitality? Industrial fuels like gasoline could be used as energy to drive his physique. Having his own vitality twisted was simply a drizzle.

Snap!

Xiusi clapped his hands over his ears, and two streams of blood spurted out from his ear canals. At the same time, the branch growing from between his eyebrows withered and fell off. After completely losing his hearing, he would naturally not be affected by this kind of induced ability.

Su Xiao glanced at Xiusi. After raising his evaluation of this young man in his heart, he ignored him. It was just a perforated eardrum and cochlear damage; minor injuries, curable.

The singing stopped abruptly, and the aura accompanying it disappeared with a whoosh, escaping at an extremely fast speed.

The Duke's soft metal cloak lifted, and mechanical falcons flew out. After breaking through several sound barriers, they disappeared from sight.

Click~

A slender cannon barrel protruded from the Duke's right arm, flush with his arm. Accompanied by a humming sound of energy accumulation and the red light in his electronic eye deepening, a precisely constructed small-to-medium-sized shell was fired. After the shell flew out, the green light at the tail beeped. After locking onto a target, the red light at the tail suddenly lit up, tracking toward the target's direction.

The reason this unknown enemy fled was that it was startled by Su Xiao and the Duke's team. Not to mention Su Xiao and the Duke, even Xiusi, whose combat power wasn't great, had a ruthless streak.

"What are the chances?"

Su Xiao spoke. He was asking how confident the Duke was in capturing the unknown enemy alive.

"Ten percent."

The Duke raised his arm, and a mechanical falcon swooping down from the sky clicked and locked onto his right arm. Then, several other mechanical falcons flew back, throwing a "little girl" wearing a flower crown, whose lower body had been blown away, onto the ground.

"Roar!"

The "little girl" let out a ferocious roar. Her mouth was split to the roots of her ears, full of interlocking sharp teeth. Even more horrifying was that she had a pile of long tongues tangled together, covered in barbs.

"Hello."

Su Xiao squatted down and spoke.

"Roar!"

The "little girl" still roared. Seeing this, Su Xiao signaled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha to come out and try with bird language and Wang Star language, but there was no gain.

"Kudu Bapu (Evil God Language: Who are you)."

Hearing this sentence spoken by Baha in Evil God Language, the "little girl" was stunned. This made Baha very proud; it had just learned Evil God Language, and it had actually come in handy.

Just as Baha was showing off, the neck of the restrained "little girl" suddenly elongated, and she bit toward Baha.

Splat!

The Duke's large foot landed, crushing the strange creature on the spot. Clearly, this strange creature understood Evil God Language, but it was a mortal enemy of the Evil God faction.

The area around the Vadi manor had already turned into a dead zone. Fortunately, today was God Sacrifice Day; otherwise, the nearly 100,000 civilians and dignitaries in this area would basically have no survivors.

Su Xiao looked at the Vadi manor. This large manor covering hundreds of acres had changed drastically. The main gate was twisted and deformed, and purple-black tumors were oozing from inside the two metal doors.

Leaping to a higher place, Su Xiao overlooked the entire Vadi manor. The planting area near the front was already filled with large pieces of purple-black flesh, covered in meridians and spreading highly corrosive purple mist.

The best way to pass through the planting area in the front yard was definitely not by flying or walking over it, but by passing through the passages within the purple-black flesh, because the castle further back was shrouded by the purple pillar of light descending from the sky.

This purple pillar of light was not dense, but rather slowly descending. The castle below seemed to have been stimulated, its volume at least several times larger than before.

This visual sensation was very strange. It was clearly a rock-structured castle, yet it had "fattened" several times over.

Past the castle was the backyard, which was filled with viscous, surging purple-black semi-fluid.

The Vadi family's manor had deformed into such a state, so there was no need to think about the members of the Vadi family. This disaster was caused by them. Given the current style, the fate of the Vadi family members would definitely not be good.

With things developing to this point, Su Xiao completely sorted out the thread from the moment he entered this world until now. The situation was roughly as follows.

1. A few hours before he entered this world, the Vadi family's plan, which had been in preparation for many years, officially entered the implementation stage. Therefore, the Vadi family used the convenience of trade to lead a large group of wild beasts into the High Wall, causing the Treatment Institute's combat power to be almost exhausted.

Facts proved that the Vadi family's choice was correct for them. Just looking at the combat power of the old Treatment Institute members, Black Axe Chaman and Silver Wolf Marina, one could imagine what a terrifying organization the full-strength Treatment Institute was. If this side wasn't resolved, the Vadi family's plan might have been nipped in the bud as soon as it was revealed.

2. Su Xiao entered this world. Due to multiple reasons, he entered with severe injuries. The Vadi family bribed the doctors of the Healing Church to poison him while he was unconscious, but this poison was clearly not very effective and was ignored by Su Xiao, who, as an alchemist, had an outrageously high poison resistance.

3. Learning that Su Xiao was not dead, the Vadi family spent a huge sum to contact the Dragon God Dean. Unexpectedly, the Dragon God Dean happened to have a grudge against Su Xiao, and the two hit it off. This was the Vadi family's third attempt to get rid of Su Xiao.

4. The day before God Sacrifice Day began, the Vadi family released the dead soldiers they had secretly cultivated for many years, preparing to use these dead soldiers to take Su Xiao down with them, and then blame the Steam God Sect. In terms of explosives, the Steam God Sect was the strongest, so other factions would surely suspect the Steam God Sect of assassinating Su Xiao.

This plan hadn't even started when it was detected by the Archbishop of the Healing Church, the faction Su Xiao belonged to. That was why the Archbishop had asked Su Xiao to see him yesterday.

The Vadi family, realizing that the Archbishop had intervened, chickened out and immediately ordered the dead soldiers to retreat, while also secretly indicating to the Archbishop that no one was a good person, so let's just call it quits.

And today, the Vadi family completely bared their fangs. However, their goal didn't seem to be directly related to the Dead Silence City, but rather they had brought in many extra-boundary creatures, causing the entire Vadi manor to deform into this state.

Wanting to know why the Vadi family did this, going deep into the Vadi manor was the only way. Su Xiao thought of this, and a prompt appeared.

【Promotion Mission: Second Link: Sudden Change (Completed).】

【You have obtained Shelter Stone × 1.】

【Promotion Mission: Third Link: Sanctuary Key (Triggered).】

【Main Mission: First Link: Seek Victory in Stability (Completed).】

【You have obtained 2 True Skill Points.】

【Main Mission: Second Link: Outside the High Wall (Completed).】

Su Xiao first checked the content of the main mission.

【Main Mission: Outside the High Wall (Second Link).】

Difficulty Level: Mission Introduction: Deliver the inheritance item to the beast leader.

Mission Deadline: 3 natural days.

Mission Reward: Massive increase in the beast leader's favorability.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Su Xiao recalled the temporary memory and learned what the inheritance item was. This was a rare item captured by the Treatment Institute last month, which was very important to the beasts on the wasteland.

Su Xiao prepared to go back later and smash the inheritance item. As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. It was hard to have a chance to let the main mission fail, and it was a forced execution penalty. When would he trigger the effect of the Eight-Star Title "Doomsday Monarch" if not now?

He checked the content of the promotion mission. This was the real problem.

【Promotion Mission: Sanctuary Key (Third Link)】

Difficulty Level: Mission Introduction: Go deep into the Vadi manor and find the Sanctuary Key.

Mission Deadline: 5 natural days.

Mission Reward: Shelter Stone × 7.

Mission Penalty: None.

Seeing this mission, Su Xiao understood why the promotion mission was related to the Vadi family. The point was the Sanctuary Key, not what the Vadi family was trying to do.

As for why they only started looking for the Sanctuary Key now, instead of it being the goal from the beginning, Su Xiao estimated that before the Vadi family's plan was implemented, the Sanctuary Key was likely not in High Wall City. After the plan started, the Sanctuary Key was needed, so the Vadi family retrieved it.

Su Xiao leaped down from the high place. Entering the Vadi manor immediately was definitely not a good strategy. Letting the various factions in High Wall City pave the way first was the best choice.

"Duke, isn't your Rage Hammer Organization built to deal with this kind of situation?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Duke gave a fake smile. Just at this moment, the sound of orderly running and armor clashing came.

A large team of over 200 people, each wearing silver full-body armor, walked over. Leading them was a woman wearing a smoky black dress and a silver metal mask.

Seeing this silver-armored team, the Duke was stunned for a moment. Extraordinary individuals using cold weapons in the High Wall were common, but this set of silver armor was truly rare. This thing could usually only be seen in museums.

The woman in the smoky black dress and silver metal mask glanced at the Duke. That gaze, as if looking at a loser, could be felt by anyone.

"Duke, I heard your Rage Hammer is defending the central square? Thank you for your hard work. Leave this side to us."

After saying this, the woman in the smoky dress led the silver-armored team toward the Vadi manor. It was obvious that this silver-armored team was secretly built by the High Wall Council. They had long coveted the management rights of extraordinary events, and now they had suddenly brought out their secretly cultivated silver-armored team to compete with the Rage Hammer Organization.

It seemed that the High Wall Council was no longer as rule-abiding as before.

The Duke's fists clenched until they cracked, as if he were furious. But after the silver-armored team completely entered the main gate of the manor, the Duke's anger vanished, and he even felt like laughing.

"Bai Ye, what do you plan to do next?"

The Duke was in a good mood. The sudden change in the Vadi family made him feel cold in his heart. If he could avoid being the first to enter this eerie manor, he would definitely not let the Rage Hammer Organization be the first. Now that someone was willing to rush in, he was naturally happy to watch the show first.

Su Xiao took out his watch and glanced at it. It was almost noon. He would go back for lunch first and treat Xiusi's injuries.

Su Xiao's plan was to observe for a few hours first. Even if the High Wall Council's silver-armored team found the Sanctuary Key in the manor, it didn't matter. As long as it was a faction within the High Wall that obtained this thing, he would have ways to get his hands on it later.

【Receive Cash Red Packet】 Read books to receive cash! Follow the WeChat public account 【Book Friends Base Camp】, cash/points are waiting for you!

If it really didn't work, he would go deep into the Vadi manor to explore. The various extra-boundary creatures the Vadi family had summoned this time were definitely more bizarre than the last.

Even if he really had to take the risk to enter the manor, he would have to wait until he finished another thing.

Xiusi, who was in a poor mental state, opened the spatial ghost door. The group walked into it. When they walked out of the spatial ghost door on the opposite side, they were already in the main courtyard of the Treatment Institute headquarters.

With a thud, Xiusi fell down. Seeing this, Silver Wolf Marina easily carried Xiusi on her shoulder and walked toward the dormitory building on the side.

"I'll first..."

The Duke had only said half of his sentence when he found that the surrounding Treatment Institute members were gradually surrounding him. It looked like they would attack together if Su Xiao gave the order.

"Cough~"

The Duke coughed. A flash of light appeared on his mechanical left hand, and a large bag of ancient gold coins appeared. It was exactly 400 coins. This was to pay off the debt.

Ding~

Su Xiao flicked an existing ancient gold coin. The coin flew up, and just as it landed, a foot stepped on it.

"My dear friend, do you need me for something?"

The owner of this foot was naturally Caesar.

Seeing that Caesar had arrived, Su Xiao said in a calm tone: "This Duke gentleman owed me 400 ancient gold coins a few days ago and is ready to repay them today."

"Oh?! There is such a thing?"

Caesar looked closely at the Duke, then revealed that seven-part treacherous, three-part wretched smile. At this moment, cold sweat seeped from the Duke's temples.

After some negotiation, because the Duke had repeatedly tried to default on the debt, he paid a total of 612 ancient gold coins, including the principal, with no interest, but rather mental damage fees and handling fees.

Originally, the Duke was prepared to crush Caesar with one hand, but after Caesar merged with the jar, the Duke calmed down and finally completed the negotiation with Caesar.

Su Xiao threw a small sealed bottle to Caesar. This thing was very small, containing 3 ounces of space-time power, which was the hard work fee paid to Caesar.

With the space-time power in hand, plus eating lunch in the cafeteria until his neck, and stealing half a bag of onions from the kitchen, Caesar left satisfied.

In the Deputy Dean's office, Su Xiao leaned back in his leather chair, listening to Lis, who was dressed as a secretary and holding documents to report. Clearly, Lis was very smart and hadn't gotten carried away after becoming the new Dean.

"Hmm, got it. Continue with your work."

"Yes."

Just as Lis was about to turn and leave, Su Xiao suddenly spoke: "Go and get the beast tribe inheritance item captured last month from the treasury."

Su Xiao took out a document from the drawer, signed and stamped it, and asked Lis to take it to the warehouse manager on the second basement level to pick up the goods.

Half an hour later, in the office, a fist-sized crystal was placed on the desk in front of Su Xiao.

"My lord, the beast tribe inheritance item you wanted. I have read its information. It is said that this secret treasure has been passed down by the beast tribe for hundreds of years. If we return it to the leader of the beast tribe, we might be able to establish preliminary trust with the beast tribe. In that case, we can start trade outside the High Wall. Resources outside the High Wall are scarce, but some of them..."

Crack~

Su Xiao crushed the crystal in his hand with his bare hands. Lis's mouth twitched on the opposite side.

"Anything else?"

Su Xiao poured the residue in his hand into the ashtray.

"Nothing, I'll continue working, my lord."

Lis returned to her desk in the corner and continued to review documents.

【Warning: You have destroyed the inheritance item!】

【Warning: Your main mission is about to fail!】

【Judging...】

【Doomsday Monarch title triggered, this title is damaged.】

【Successfully exempted from the main mission failure penalty】

【You have obtained Seven-Star Title (No Attributes) × 5.】

Su Xiao currently had 662 ancient gold coins. In the title shop, the price of a Six-Star Title was around 100 ancient gold coins. Plus the 5 non-attribute Seven-Star Titles he had obtained, it was time to refine an Eight-Star combat title.

Su Xiao took the 【Deep Blue Shadow】 title from the title list. When he first obtained this title, he felt that the compatibility between this title and him was not ordinary, so he kept it until now. At this moment, he really wanted to know what the Eight-Star 【Deep Blue Shadow】 would look like. ===== CHAPTER 3537 =====
