Chapter 3646

The 'surprise' came so suddenly and caught Su Xiao off guard. Looking at the prompt for opening the 【Greedy Money Bag】, he gradually frowned.

Not only was there no surprise upon opening the 【Greedy Money Bag】, but he even lost one Soul Coin in the process. Although the bag had been obtained for free, the current situation perfectly embodied the phrase: "The damage is minimal, but the insult is extreme."

Su Xiao decided to act as if this had never happened, so as not to affect his mood for the entire day. He checked the time; it was already nine in the morning. It was still too early to go to the old street of Ghost City, so he might as well see if Alisa had made any progress.

After descending to the public area on the first floor and taking a seat, Veronica, who had just been watching a comedy show on Bubu Wang's terminal, suddenly stifled her laughter and sat obediently at the dining table, eating breakfast that had been cold for over an hour. Dre, who was nearby reading a newspaper and smoking a cigar, also took his feet off the coffee table and stubbed out his cigar. Both of them could see that their Dean seemed to be in a bad mood today.

Su Xiao sat on a single-seater sofa and asked Baha, "Where is Alisa?"

"She drank too many buff potions and hasn't woken up yet."

"Call her here."

"You got it."

A few minutes later, Alisa, still a bit dazed from sleep, wearing pajamas and carrying a blade bag, stood in front of the sofa, yawning.

"I heard you snuck out last night and hacked a priest of the Dark God Sect?"

Su Xiao picked up the hot tea Amu had set down and took a light sip to refresh his mind. Brewing Black Maple tea with boiled Eternal Spring water wasn't just "delicious"—that would be an exaggeration—it was truly an endless aftertaste. After one sip, it left one looking forward to every subsequent cup.

"Yeah, I have some personal grudges with the Dark God Sect. But I was very careful when I went out last night; I did it right next door. I'm not stupid; I know this is Ghost City. The place where I did it was only a few dozen meters from our apartment. After I succeeded, I set fire to the scene and snuck back. No one noticed."

By the time she finished speaking, Alisa, standing there with her hands behind her back, smiled with a bit of a guilty conscience.

"Oh, so you do know this is Ghost City, and you also know that Silvis won't easily strike at this apartment and break the temporary peace between him and me. Hmm, very good."

"Mr. Bai Ye, are you... agreeing with my actions?"

Alisa spoke tentatively. Judging by the fact that her gaze no longer darted left and right, the girl's style was clearly: an excellent attitude toward admitting mistakes, but she would do it again next time.

"Of course I agree. Seeking revenge, being a bit reckless is nothing to be ashamed of."

Hearing this, Alisa, standing there with her hands behind her back, completely relaxed her mindset. She had indeed been a bit panicked just a moment ago.

Seeing this, Veronica, who was eating breakfast, gave a look to Dre near the stairwell and pointed upstairs, meaning: 'Go invite Ms. Saint Poetry; someone here will need treatment soon.'

"Alisa, I agree with your actions, and I hope you agree with my decision."

Su Xiao spoke with a kind smile. Seeing Su Xiao say this with a smile, Alisa replied easily, "Yes, definitely."

"Amu, beat her up."

"Moo,"

Amu rolled up its sleeves. Standing three meters tall, it walked toward Alisa, exerting a strong sense of oppression.

"Wait! Mr. Bai Ye, I have to participate in that so-called scramble at noon and enter the legendary ancient mansion of the Yoge family. If I'm seriously injured and can't fight, the loss will be even greater for you! You've invested so much in me. I really feel sorry from the bottom of my heart for last night. I wasn't mature enough and was impulsive. I definitely won't make this mistake again!"

Amidst Alisa's sincere apology, she was swiped out the window by Amu with one palm. After taking this hit, Alisa, clutching her blade bag, began to issue verbal warnings, such as if it hit her again, she would fight back, and that her blade was very sharp. However, Amu ignored her.

To be precise, Su Xiao just wanted to see Alisa's current combat strength, and also to knock down a peg this girl whose strength had suddenly surged and whose ego had inflated a bit.

However, in Su Xiao's view, such an inflated ego was a good thing; it meant the girl had no ulterior motives.

On the open ground outside the apartment, after Alisa found that her repeated warnings were ineffective, she drew her long blade from the bag. Once the blade was unsheathed, her gaze and aura became sharp, but this was the highlight of Alisa's performance in this battle.

Ten minutes later, Alisa lay in the broken flower bed, muttering something. Amu, covered in blade marks, pulled the long blade from its own forearm and flicked it, pinning it beside Alisa.

"It hurts, doesn't it, Bull-Head?"

Alisa smiled fiercely as she spoke. She could feel that when this bull-head beat her, it was really trying to kill her, without holding back at all.

"Moo?"

Amu looked at Alisa in confusion. The next second, the wounds on its body healed rapidly. Because the healing speed was too fast, faint white steam drifted from the wounds. Seeing this scene, Alisa, who had just been slightly inflated due to her surge in strength, was immediately struck into recognizing reality. Her set of "scraping" blade techniques hadn't caused any essential damage to the bull-head at all.

Baha flew over and carried Alisa, who was too seriously injured to move, back into the apartment. Saint Poetry, who had been waiting by the flat bed, activated her slow healing ability. Although this ability healed slowly, it had a better effect on recovering from injuries.

"You still have a long way to go. Being beaten by your own people is better than being slaughtered by the enemy, right?"

Baha spoke. Hearing this, Alisa, who had regained some strength due to the treatment, felt stifled at first, but then nodded and muttered, "I know."

A moment later, Alisa seemed to have completely figured it out. She said with some emotion, "You're right. Being beaten by your own people is much better than being slaughtered by the enemy after your ego inflates."

"Huh?"

Baha looked at Alisa suspiciously. This left Alisa confused at the time. She asked, "Didn't you just say that to let me know this point?"

"Ah? Ah, yes, yes, that's how it is. It's great that you can figure it out."

As Baha spoke, it first looked enlightened, then assumed a "going with the flow" expression. This made Alisa clench her fists. In terms of messing with people's minds, Baha had always been a master. A moment later, Alisa was left completely bewildered by Baha's words.

Even at noon, the sky over Ghost City remained overcast, giving people a low, gloomy feeling. Combined with the iron-black tone of the buildings in the city, the entire Ghost City gave off an inexplicably oppressive and dark feeling.

The old street in the south of the city was even more desolate. But if viewed from above, this long-abandoned area actually had an excellent geographical location, giving one the feeling that the entire Ghost City was built around this old street area.

In fact, this was indeed the case. When people mentioned Ghost City, they would subconsciously think it was built by the Ghost Race. While correct, this was not accurate. The original Ghost City was indeed built by the Ghost Race. As a group from an outside world, when they first arrived, they had an attitude of wanting to rule this world and reduce or even eliminate other races.

Such ruthless ambition and arrogant attitude shocked both the Alliance and the Northern Empire, who were locked in a chaotic war. Having fought for thousands of years, these two behemoths were not only war monsters but also exceptionally cautious due to the pain of long-term warfare. Therefore, both sides were forced to stop fighting and, with a cautious attitude, gathered all their strength to launch an expedition against Ghost City.

Before the battle against the Ghost Race army, the generals of both the Alliance and the Northern Empire had a feeling that the world was about to change. Some pessimists even considered how to resist to the death under the rule of the Ghost Race.

As a result, after the two sides officially engaged in battle, the Ghost Race was bewildered, and the Alliance and the Northern Empire were also bewildered. The Ghost Race was bewildered because they were almost hammered into extinction on the spot; the Alliance and the Northern Empire were bewildered because the enemy was too weak.

Even when this situation occurred, the Ghost Race still refused to submit, but when the Northern Empire invaded Ghost City and carried out a massacre-style slaughter, the Ghost Race became obedient.

At that time, Ghost City was basically destroyed. Neither the Alliance nor the Northern Empire had any intention of rebuilding it. If things continued like this, Ghost City would become history.

The turning point appeared at this time. The head of the Yoge family of that generation was extremely obsessed with mysticism. The more ancient and bizarre something was, the more it could satisfy his desires. He even went so far as to use a huge sum of money to bribe the fence-sitters of the Ancient God faction to take him to the Star Fall Continent.

The Yoge family head's desire for the bizarre and mysterious was satisfied as never before. But a few years after returning, he couldn't suppress his longing for it again. He hoped to explore deeper, darker, and more bizarre things, until he obtained a secret treasure that appeared in Ghost City: a handwritten brief history of the family.

After that, the Yoge family head used astonishing financial, human, and material resources to head to Ghost City. With the prosperity of the Yoge family at that time, both the Alliance and the North had to give them face, and both sides withdrew from Ghost City, which had already been squeezed dry of its value.

A family mansion was built in the rear area of Ghost City. This Yoge family head spent most of the family's wealth on it. Just when those in the know thought that what was beneath the Yoge mansion was something like an Abyss Hole, the truth, due to the rapid decline of the Yoge family, permeated that layer upon layer of covering cloth. The things that seeped out from inside were darker, deeper, heavier, and more desperate than Abyss energy. That was the sediment of the Abyss, something that even Abyss-spawned creatures had to avoid.

The dilapidated Ghost City, due to the arrival of the Yoge family, blossomed for a second spring and became prosperous. This prosperous dark land had tourists visiting every year, but it also fell into the desperate sediment due to the Yoge family head's crazy pursuit.

The Yoge family declined in a short period of time, and not even the specific reasons were left behind. All the secrets and darkness were swallowed by the fog. No one dared to explore, and no one wanted to explore.

Since then, the most prosperous area of Ghost City was abandoned and surrounded by high walls. If one snuck into the high walls, one might still be able to catch a glimpse of that night of dark invasion from among the broken bricks and tiles—that night filled with blood, madness, and deformity, where the streets and alleys were full of dark worms.

The Alliance army stationed near Ghost City rushed over, but in the end, they didn't dare to go in. Those veterans who had experienced cruel battlefields, after witnessing the scene in Ghost City that night, also felt a long-lost tremor and hair-raising fear.

The Yoge family head ordered people to continue digging underground, which eventually led to the "Abyss Sediment" gushing out. These "Abyss Sediments" came quickly and retreated quickly. Since they had come, there would always be residues. Those objects that were infected by the "Abyss Sediment" and produced extremely strange changes were called "Ancestral Secret Treasures."

Unfortunately, before people could explore deeply, the Yoge family mansion and the underground palace were shrouded in gray fog and eventually dragged away. Now, in the center of the old street area, there is still a bottomless giant pit.

At present, that family mansion of the Yoge family, which symbolizes bad luck, curses, and darkness, is about to reappear here.

And on the high walls surrounding the old street area, many dignitaries of Ghost City were already standing. Among them were the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Winifer; the Ghost Race Elder, Crowey; and the current head of the Yoge family, Yoge Koder.

The others present were also people from these three forces, while the Alliance faction and the Dark God Sect didn't have a single person arrive.

This time, whether it was the Chamber of Commerce, the Ghost Race, or the Yoge family, they all came for two things: 1. Ancestral Secret Treasures, 2. Primal Fragments. Especially the latter, which had unimaginable temptation for the old immortals of the three forces. Of course, Su Xiao and the Abyss leader, Silvis, also wanted to obtain this item very much.

"The Chamber of Commerce's squad is really a group of good young people."

The Ghost Race Elder, Crowey, with his blue skin and bald head, spoke. As he spoke, a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.

Hearing this, the Chamber of Commerce President, Winifer, smiled without mirth. The conflict between the two sides had not been a matter of one or two days. This time, new hatred and old grudges came together.

"It's a pity, these good young people are about to die. It's a pity."

The Ghost Race Elder, Crowey, shook his head with some pity. In terms of messing with people's minds, this old guy had always been skilled.

"Is the younger generation of the Ghost Race now so withered that they have to send out necromancers?"

The Chamber of Commerce President, Winifer, was also a master at messing with people's minds. Many years ago, the Ghost Race was still extremely repulsed by necromancers, believing that this type of ability was heretical.

The representatives of both sides "greeted" each other, and the members of both squads looked at each other with murderous intent.

Compared to these two sides, the Yoge family was much more low-key. But the captain of this squad, Yoge Dia, was impressive. She was wrapped in white bandages all over, and her exposed eyes had fluorescent blue radial pupils. This was a manifestation of the purity of the Yoge family's bloodline to a certain extent. The Yoge family, which had been silent for so many years, was clearly going to take advantage of today's opportunity to regain some of its former glory.

Just as the Ghost Race, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Yoge family were probing each other verbally, a dark and deep fluctuation emerged from the pit in the center of the old street area. Gray thick fog then surged out, covering the entire old street area with an inexplicable aura, as if the dilapidated buildings here had come alive once again.

Before long, the gray thick fog shrouded the entire old street area, spreading to 80% of the height of the surrounding high walls before it stopped surging. Looking down from the high walls, it was like looking at a bottomless pool of fog.

Black plant roots spread out, poking out from the gray fog, and finally climbed to the edge of the high walls, forming a slanted downward path, allowing people to walk into the gray fog.

Looking carefully into the gray fog below, one could see the outline of a tall mansion, as well as the courtyard area faintly revealing blood color. There seemed to be something flying in the courtyard.

Not long after the family mansion appeared, everyone on the high walls saw black hands poking out of thin air, followed by arms so dense that it made one's scalp tingle. These black hands pulled out a spatial archway, connecting to the underground palace beneath the Dark Cathedral.

Everyone looked into the spatial archway and saw the Abyss leader, Silvis, crouching on the bed on the other side. This made everyone present subconsciously avoid his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.

Several figures walked out of the spatial archway. Leading them was the Black Worm Bishop, Ernod. He was dressed in ancient aristocratic attire, his flesh and blood riddled with holes, and black sticky worms wriggling inside. Walking side by side with him was the Blood Demon, also a bishop. Her appearance attracted the gaze of all the opposite sex present. Even the old guys couldn't resist the charm of this perfect noblewoman.

A figure draped in a black robe overtook these two, so unruly—that must be Black A.

Vivi, following behind Black A, hurriedly apologized to the two bishops, which made the expressions of the two bishops soften a bit. At the very least, they had a way to step down. It could be said that although Black A rescued Vivi from the beast arena, Vivi's subsequent help to Black A was significant.

The Dark God Sect's Dark Team only had two people: Black A and Vivi. As such, only the Alliance Team had not arrived.

A dragon roar came from the horizon. With a gust of wind, the Storm Flame Dragon, Dis, had already landed on the high wall. One of its dragon claws pierced into the top of the high wall, and the other claw gripped the front of the high wall. Its vertical pupils looked down at the people on the city wall, as if ready to breathe dragon fire at any moment to clear everyone on the wall.

Alisa, carrying her blade bag, jumped off the dragon's back. But no one on the city wall looked at her. The reason was that on the dragon's back, which was much higher than their line of sight, there seemed to be someone sitting. A terrifying blood aura lay dormant on the dragon's back, as if it would surge out in the next second.

"Silvis didn't come?"

Su Xiao looked at the Black Worm Bishop, Ernod, on the city wall with red light appearing in his eyes. This made Ernod's expression stiffen. He felt as if a blood aura was rushing toward him, making his shoulders feel as heavy as ten thousand tons, and the energy flow in his body became difficult, even briefly stagnant. This caused his body to be somewhat stiff. Facing the Dean of the Twilight Asylum, the sense of oppression was truly too strong; it was completely the feeling of facing the ultimate big boss.

"The Pope sent the two of us to represent the Dark God Sect. As for the specifics, I, as a subordinate, dare not ask too much."

The Black Worm Bishop, Ernod, bit the bullet and spoke. Although the two sides were hostile, he didn't show it at all. Or rather, anyone with a brain would choose to be polite now, because being arrogant now would really lead to death. No one would risk their life to show off, let alone someone who could climb to the position of a bishop in the Dark God Sect.

"I heard you captured the Red-Eyed Woman?"

"It... can't be called capturing."

The Black Worm Bishop, Ernod's expression stiffened even more, but his thoughts turned rapidly, and he immediately thought that it was this Dean of the Asylum who brought the intelligence department of the Alliance Hunter Squad; otherwise, it would be impossible to know about this in such a short time.

"Is she doing well?"

"Hmm~, very well. As for the specifics, I... it's not convenient to say. Mr. Bai Ye, I hope you understand."

The Black Worm Bishop, Ernod, spoke with a pained expression. He felt terrible right now; he dared not offend the person in front of him, as he would die immediately if he did, and naturally, he couldn't reveal the secret intelligence within his faction.

This strange conversation made the Chamber of Commerce President, Winifer; the Ghost Race Elder, Crowey; and the Yoge family head, Yoge Koder, look strange. They actually wanted to laugh a little. This feeling of interrogating a subordinate was just too strong. What was even more strange was that the two sides were hostile factions.

After Alisa arrived, the five squads sent by the five factions gathered. Needless to say, Alisa alone was a squad. On the Dark Team side, it was Black A and Vivi.

Compared to their own single-person squad and the Dark faction's two-person squad, the other three factions were all full five-person squads.

The Ghost Race squad was led by a young Ghost Race member named Fawn. Other members of the squad included a Ghost (Assassin), a Wandering Soul (Perception Type), a Necromancer, and finally, a Half-Demon.

The Yoge family squad was led by Yoge Dia, who had fluorescent blue pupils and was wrapped in bandages. The other four were Servants No. 1 to No. 4. The auras of these four servants were different, but all had a cold, emotionless feeling.

The last squad, the Chamber of Commerce squad, although also five people, looked the most scattered. The captain, named Lu. Tis, was a young man who kept a friendly smile. Those smiling eyes seemed as if they hadn't opened, looking both approachable and having an inexplicable sense of danger.

Apart from Lu. Tis, the other four members of the Chamber of Commerce squad were a Shield Bearer, a Thief, a Field Medic, and a Fallen Knight. After these five people stood together, their temperaments didn't match at all.

When Su Xiao's gaze fell on Lu. Tis, although his expression remained normal, he felt slightly surprised in his heart. Sensing carefully, wasn't this the Sun Apostle? He had actually mixed into the Chamber of Commerce squad.

After realizing that the captain of the Chamber of Commerce squad was the Sun Apostle, Su Xiao knew that this squad was already finished. The four squad members were likely used by the Sun Apostle until they were completely clear, and in the end, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Su Xiao, who had been sitting casually on the dragon's back, turned his gaze to the other two squads. When his gaze fell on the captain of the Yoge family squad, Yoge Dia, he found that the other party's aura didn't reveal that kind of nervous fluctuation, but was instead very calm and confident.

Su Xiao began to control the Storm Flame Dragon, staring at Yoge Dia. A dozen seconds later, Yoge Dia's heartbeat began to accelerate, and her body functions began to warn due to the sense of crisis. Just at this moment, the Yoge family head, Yoge Koder, blocked in front of Yoge Dia.

"Dean Bai Ye, your dragon mount seems very dangerous."

The family head, Yoge Koder, spoke. Hearing this, Su Xiao said with some suspicion:

"It seems... it was attracted by the aura of some object."

"Is that so?"

The family head, Yoge Koder's expression remained normal, and he didn't say anything more.

Was Su Xiao provoking the Yoge family for no reason? Of course not. He had no interest in doing such meaningless things. Letting the Storm Flame Dragon stare at Yoge Dia was only because of one point: the other party's aura was too calm. Other people who were about to enter the "Family Mansion," even Black A, had some nervousness and vigilance in their aura. Only Yoge Dia was not nervous at all.

This only had two possibilities: 1. Yoge Dia had amazing courage, and the current situation was a small scene for her. 2. Yoge Dia had something to rely on, and this reliance could allow her squad to have a huge advantage after entering the "Family Mansion."

Su Xiao let the Storm Flame Dragon stare at Yoge Dia to judge whether the other party would retreat. The answer was that Yoge Dia was indeed an excellent young generation of the Yoge family. Her heart didn't retreat, but her body's instinct showed a warning reaction. If she couldn't even withstand such a stare, how could she not be nervous at all when she was about to enter the "Family Mansion"?

With this elimination method, it was determined that Yoge Dia had a means to allow her to have a huge advantage after entering the "Family Mansion." Thinking that this mansion used to belong to the Yoge family, did it mean that Yoge Dia had a means to make the monsters in the mansion not attack her, or even ignore her existence, while her other four teammates were just making up the numbers to avoid causing suspicion from the other four factions?

With the strength of Black A and Alisa, no one would suspect them if they entered the "Family Mansion" alone. Although Yoge Dia was an excellent young generation, this wasn't a cheat; she was just a young talent and didn't have the strength to enter the "Family Mansion" alone.

In this way, to prevent others from being suspicious, it was safest to arrange four teammates for Yoge Dia. But arranging members of the Yoge family would cause dissatisfaction among many people in the family. This was choosing cannon fodder, so choosing four capable servants was most suitable.

Su Xiao looked at Servants No. 1 to No. 4 behind Yoge Dia. There was no mistake. Yoge Dia had a means to avoid monsters in the "Family Mansion." After others were dragged down by monsters or small bosses, she could go all the way without obstruction and occupy all the advantages. Precisely because of this, she was not nervous at all.

Regarding how to deal with this enemy with a huge opening advantage, Su Xiao didn't intend to let Alisa do it. Thinking that the captain of the Chamber of Commerce squad was the Sun Apostle, a plan was perfected in Su Xiao's heart.

The beginning of the plan was with Black A. Su Xiao, of course, wouldn't directly order this rebellious son. First, the other party wouldn't listen, and second, it would cause suspicion from the Dark God Sect, leading to a temporary change of personnel there.

This was not a problem. Su Xiao had a way to make the other party act according to his plan obediently without giving any orders to Black A, and also let the other party not notice at all from beginning to end, thinking that this was what he wanted to do himself.

"It seems that the Yoge family has quite a bit of confidence in returning to the ancestral mansion this time."

Su Xiao looked at the Yoge family head, Yoge Koder, and spoke. Hearing this, Yoge Koder's heart skipped a beat. This was truly: whatever you fear, that's what comes.

"Dean Bai Ye, everyone is using the same starting point. Where is there any advantage to speak of?"

"Oh? I heard that your Ancestral Secret Treasure can hide traces in the family mansion. It seems this is not a rumor."

Su Xiao made up a reason randomly. Anyway, someone had discovered an "Ancestral Secret Treasure" in the fog before, and the whereabouts of that thing were unknown.

Once Su Xiao said this, Yoge Koder almost broke his defense. He immediately suspected that there must be a traitor within the family; otherwise, how could such a secret be known by an outsider?

Just as Wood said, Su Xiao not developing toward the divination system was a waste of his "talent" in this area. Obviously, the dirty water Su Xiao splashed randomly pointed out the truth of the matter. However, he only said this after guessing that Yoge Dia would not be actively attacked by monsters in the "Family Mansion," not an unfounded speculation.

"Ms. Yoge Dia, you really brought that thing."

The captain of the Chamber of Commerce squad, Lu. Tis, that is, the Sun Apostle, spoke. This made the Chamber of Commerce President beside him look suspicious, but at the current juncture, the Chamber of Commerce President didn't say anything.

Hearing the Sun Apostle say this, Su Xiao already knew one thing: this filial son was expressing his stance, clearly showing favor to himself, indicating that this deep dive into the "Family Mansion," although seemingly representing the Chamber of Commerce, was actually representing Su Xiao.

In this way, it was equivalent to Su Xiao sending two squads into the family mansion.

The atmosphere fell into silence. Black A, who had been listening the whole time, turned his gaze to Yoge Dia. This guy was clearly targeting the Yoge family squad, preparing to strike at the Yoge family squad as soon as he entered the courtyard area in the fog.

This was also why Su Xiao never dealt with this rebellious son. A Black A who listened obediently couldn't do many things. Conversely, in the current state, he could do many things well.

Su Xiao signaled Alisa to come closer. He whispered instructions, and Alisa nodded to indicate agreement after listening.

"Since everyone is here, let's start. No one can be sure how long these mists and ancient mansions will exist."

The Yoge family head, Yoge Koder, spoke. The reason he was anxious was that he was worried that before the scramble even started, they would be arranged on this high wall.

The representatives of the other factions also agreed to go deep into the gray fog now. Seeing this, Black A jumped off the high wall first and submerged into the gray fog. Alisa also flashed a few times and entered the gray fog along the root slope.

After all the squads entered the gray fog, Su Xiao gave instructions to the Storm Flame Dragon, Dis, to return to the temporary base. For the follow-up, he just needed to wait. He wasn't worried about the scramble for the "Ancient Emblem," but was more concerned about whether the few people who entered the dangerous area could beat the Countess and the family ancestor.

The sound of the wind whistled past Su Xiao's ears. The Storm Flame Dragon flew between the clouds and mist. Su Xiao on the dragon's back began to meditate. He had great confidence in becoming the final winner of this scramble.

The reason is that the current situation, at first glance, is five parties scrambling for the "Ancient Emblem" in the "Underground Palace." Whichever party obtains the "Ancient Emblem" becomes the final winner, thereby obtaining the "Primal Fragment." Not only that, there are various "Ancestral Secret Treasures" in the courtyard, mansion, and underground palace. These secret treasures contain "Abyss Sediments."

The problem is, is the current situation really a scramble between five parties? The answer is negative. First of all, the Chamber of Commerce squad is a squad destined to fail. The captain is the Sun Apostle. Just now, the Sun Apostle clearly indicated that he was willing to help Su Xiao do things temporarily.

This is not worth being surprised about. With the Sun Apostle's old-schemer personality, how he would choose between the Ghost City Chamber of Commerce and the Dean of the Twilight Asylum is something that doesn't need to be thought about.

Black A will deal with the Yoge family squad, and Alisa will deal with the Ghost Race squad. In the end, it is highly probable that only three squads will remain. More precisely, it is highly probable that three devourers will remain.

Alisa herself was sent by their side and doesn't need to be solved. The Sun Apostle is easy to solve. As for the final Black A, even if Black A obtains the "Ancient Emblem," Su Xiao has a way to make the other party offer it with both hands.

That is to say, if the plan goes smoothly, then whether it is "Ancestral Secret Treasures," "Ancient Emblem," or "Primal Fragments," Su Xiao can really choose to have them all.

As for what Su Xiao is preparing to do now, that is, of course, to deal with the Abyss leader, Silvis. No one would think that he would choose now to deal with the Abyss leader, Silvis. In the scramble, the Void Tree has regulations that faction leaders cannot attack participants who are about to enter the "Family Mansion," but the Void Tree does not regulate that faction leaders cannot attack faction leaders of other parties.

Even if doing so would cause his Void Tree reputation to drop, so what? Su Xiao's current -??? reputation is already unafraid of being lowered by the Void Tree. The prompt when opening the Abyss store before clearly represented that this -??? reputation is very difficult to rescue, just like the charm attribute in the past.
