Chapter 3803: Moon Witch
Under the torrential rain, white steam rose from the gas street lamps. A flash of lightning crossed the sky. Although it was daytime, the sky was pitch black, making people feel uneasy.
Su Xiao, dressed in feather clothes, walked in this rainstorm. After entering the hunting state of the 【Old Hunter】 title, in his vision, there were faint bloodstains in the air, spreading to the distance, and there were also faint footprints on the ground, one black, one pearly white, leading to the distance.
Through these tracking clues, Su Xiao could know the general direction of the Dark Twins. At the moment, he was in the Ancient King City in the south of this vast continent, which was the original Swamp Light City. To the south was the Great Swamp Wetland, to the southeast was a small fishing village, and to the north was the central area of the continent, which was the location of Moon Ring City.
As for why the small fishing village in the southeast of the Ancient King City could be used as a landmark building, the reason was that fierce people came out of here. The first generation Sky City Lord, the third generation Moon Witch, the Swamp King Kalaya, the Dark God Sect's three leaders' one - Black Hole Azle, and the strongest filthy one - Dark Prophet, all these powerhouses came from this small fishing village.
This small fishing village was indeed full of fierce people, but these ruthless people had all caused huge damage to this world, among which the first generation Sky City Lord was the most chilling, and the third generation Moon Witch was slightly weaker.
The Dark Twins were on the north side, and it was unlikely that the other side was near Moon Ring City, so going to the "Silent City" first was definitely correct.
The hunting time limit was only 10 hours, so Su Xiao immediately rushed to the teleportation tower. When the spatial mist around them disappeared, he, Alana, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja had arrived at the Silent City.
After leaving the spatial radiation range of the teleportation tower, the tracking traces became obvious again, which made Su Xiao understand the hunting function a bit more. After the hunt started, the target being hunted could be defaulted to a signal source. The closer to this signal source, the stronger the hunting traces. Conversely, if the distance was too far, energy fluctuations, spatial radiation, etc., might all affect the hunting traces.
Was this a deficiency of the hunting function? In Su Xiao's view, it was definitely not. Instead, it was an advantage. One could judge the approximate distance from the target based on the strength of the hunting traces.
In the Silent City, which was adjacent to the "Sigor River," the hunting traces were so weak. It could be seen that the Dark Twins were located at the very north of this vast continent, or even possibly on the islands north of the Witch Continent.
Taking out the map to check, Su Xiao noticed Sky City in the upper right corner of the Witch Continent. After pondering for a while, he decided not to go to Sky City first. The problems there should be more serious than hunting the Dark Twins. It was better not to step into this quagmire.
In this way, Eternal Winter City - Longlu, located at the very north of the continent, became the best location. The problem was that it was outside the witch forces.
Eternal Winter City was a very ancient force. Before the arrival of the Witch Era, the King of the North, the Winter King, and the Ancient King of the Great Swamp Wetland in the south fought fiercely. At that time, there was not even Moon Ring City, and the capital of the witches was located in Sky City on the edge of this continent.
With the Sigor River as the boundary, south of the Sigor River was ruled by the Ancient King, and north of the Sigor River was basically the territory of the Winter King. Only the Sky City area here belonged to the witches.
Later, the witches rose, defeated the Ancient King, and drove the Winter King back to the cold borderland, which was the current Eternal Winter City - Longlu. Because of this, there was a fortress city between Eternal Winter City - Longlu and the Sigor River, named Giant Armor City, which was the witches' defense against Eternal Winter City making a comeback.
Thinking about it this way, the situation of the Witch camp was actually not very optimistic. The Ancient King City in the south seemed submissive, but in fact, the dignitaries there dared to collude with the Dark God Sect. The Eternal Winter City in the north seemed bitter and cold, but in fact, its combat power was outstanding. That kind of cold and arduous place was simply a natural trial ground.
There were hidden dangers in the north and south, and there was the Dark God Sect, the tumor that gave the Witch camp the most headache. Besides these external enemies, among the four major forces of the Witch camp, the origin of witches - Sky City became strange and gloomy, the Ancient King City was chaotic, and the power of the Witch Association inside was getting weaker and weaker.
Looking at it this way, among the four major Witch camps, only the Night Temptation Witch Guild and the Starry Sky Research Association remained as the pillars here. But the leaders of these two pillars, Moon Witch Seris and President Po. Yen, had long had conflicts.
The Witch Guild would certainly not give up the supreme position of Moon Witch, and the Starry Sky Research Association had been eyeing the throne that represented the strongest witch. The conflict between the two was thus activated.
Su Xiao suddenly thought of one point: whether it was Moon Witch Seris of the Witch Guild or President Po. Yen of the Starry Sky Research Association, could these two really not see through the current situation of the Witch camp?
Even if they wanted to seize the position of leader, they should ensure that the Witch camp could continue to control this world. Otherwise, the title of Moon Witch would have no original meaning.
These two people were definitely not short-sighted people. And the fact that Moon Witch invited Su Xiao to the Witch World this time was particularly interesting and profound. First of all, this time it was Moon Witch's personal reward, but she only paid 70% of it, and the remaining 30% was paid by the Starry Sky Research Association.
Therefore, Su Xiao's first assistant in this world came from the subordinate force of the Starry Sky Research Association, the Elo family, and the order passed down by the president was to let Dark Star Witch Phyllis assist Su Xiao, who was a Law-Extinguisher.
The Elo family, who were good at power struggles, thought: "Oh~, this is a hidden meaning, 'assist'. It must be 'assist well'." They told the Dark Star Witch Phyllis the meaning after understanding it.
Dark Star Witch Phyllis originally just wanted to drag her feet a little, but she was quietly devoured of her fate by the Platinum Apostle.
In fact, the president's meaning was really just to let Dark Star Witch Phyllis assist Su Xiao normally. This was not that the Elo family wanted to over-interpret, but that the president's image shaped by the Starry Sky Research Association to the outside world pitted the Elo family.
The president's image shaped by the Starry Sky Research Association to the outside world was: powerful, good at power struggles, understanding human hearts, and having no small ambition. For so many years, he had been traveling outside and not in the Witch World. In fact, he had been hiding his ambition, and now he finally returned, accumulated enough chips, and was ready to compete with Moon Witch Seris for the position of Moon Witch.
The real situation was that the president had combat power comparable to Moon Witch Seris, but he liked to be a free spirit. He could yawn more than 20 times in a half-hour high-level meeting. Compete for Moon Witch? Stop joking. President Po. Yen was as far away as he could hide.
Even being the president of the Starry Sky Research Association was because the previous old president had discussed it for many years and finally used the emotional card of being a mentor to drag him to the position of president. As a result, not long after he became president, this guy went traveling in the myriad worlds, under the guise of looking for talent for the Witch camp.
It was unclear whether he found talent, but he found quite a few old lovers. As for why he didn't look for witches before, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't find them. Witches were very dedicated. In terms of looking for the other half, they prioritized excluding playboys like the president. And the reason why the president returned to the Witch World this time was that Moon Witch Seris released a harsh word: if Po. Yen didn't return to preside over the situation of the Starry Sky Research Association, he would be replaced.
The result was that Po. Yen sent a message back that night, the original words were: "Great! Seris, you must do what you say."
After seeing this letter, Moon Witch sat behind her desk and held her forehead for a long time. As for really removing the other party's position as president, of course, it was impossible. If the president of the Starry Sky Research Association had ambition, that would be even worse.
Later, it was falsely claimed that President Po. Yen's father was seriously ill, and this filial son rushed back. As a result, when he came back, he saw his old father holding a giant sword weighing ten thousand catties, practicing in the backyard. Po. Yen, who knew he had been deceived, wanted to slip away, but was intercepted by a group of high-level officials of the Starry Sky Research Association.
From then on, an ambitious Starry Sky Research Association president was gradually created, and all of President Po. Yen's previous behaviors became his forbearance and waiting for opportunities, including his refusal to serve as the president of the Starry Sky Research Association, which also became a foil for his hidden ambitionist style.
The purpose of Moon Witch inviting Su Xiao to the Witch World to deal with the Dark God Sect this time was definitely not that simple.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The Ancient King force, Eternal Winter City, and the Dark God Sect were all mortal enemies of the Witch camp. These three parties had long been secretly united, and combined with the internal problems of the Witch camp in recent years, these three forces were even more eager to try.
Moon Witch Seris's plan was to let the outside world see that she was competing with President Po. Yen for the position of Moon Witch. In fact, the two had no conflict, but were cooperating.
President Po. Yen hoped to solve the internal problems of the Witch camp as soon as possible. In this way, he could continue to go out and be free. And Moon Witch Seris hoped to clear up various hidden dangers. In this way, even if she encountered an accident one day in the future, her three candidate successors could hold the situation, and among them, there was a chance to walk out a new Moon Witch.
Su Xiao, Seris, and Po. Yen could confront the Dark God Sect, Ancient King City, and Winter King head-on, but these three Moon Witch successors didn't have this strength yet. Therefore, in Seris's view, these hidden dangers must be eradicated.
Moon Witch Seris invited Su Xiao to the Witch World this time to let Su Xiao hammer the Dark God Sect to the ground. In the Wind Sea Continent, Su Xiao had done this kind of thing, and combined with his astonishing battle record in the Eternal Light World, Moon Witch Seris was not worried that Su Xiao couldn't deal with the Dark God Sect.
Taking advantage of Su Xiao dealing with the Dark God Sect, Moon Witch could choose one of the two to deal with in Sky City and Ancient King City. Moon Witch would definitely solve the internal hidden dangers first before attacking external threats like the Winter King and the Abyss Archbishop.
And President Po. Yen, as a supreme powerhouse with the same strength as Moon Witch, two supreme powerhouses sitting in Moon Ring City could undoubtedly stabilize the hearts of the high-level officials of the Witch camp. Two supreme powerhouses—this was more reassuring than any exquisite plan.
Not only that, the ambitionist persona built for the president by Moon Witch Seris and several witch elders was like a magnet, which would constantly suck out the unstable factors hidden within the Witch camp. All families that supported President Po. Yen in competing for the position of Moon Witch were all recorded by Moon Witch Seris. After cleaning up Ancient King City and Sky City, she would clean up these people.
Therefore, Dark Star Witch Phyllis didn't die unjustly. The Elo family she was in was the fish that was fished out.
It could only be said that Moon Witch Seris was worthy of being a ruthless person who took the head of the previous Moon Witch and walked to the position of leader.
From another perspective, the Dark Star Witch, Phyllis, was also the Moon Witch's test of Su Xiao. Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once; no matter what rumors she had heard, the Moon Witch trusted what she saw with her own eyes more. However, Phyllis was trapped to death by Su Xiao on the very day she was sent, which surprised the Moon Witch. She mistakenly believed that Su Xiao had been angered by this, which was why she changed to sending the little assistant, Alana.
As for Su Xiao's capabilities, being able to trap a top-tier powerhouse to death so naturally and without any obvious flaws—after learning this, the Moon Witch, Cecily, no longer doubted Su Xiao's abilities.
Su Xiao stood in the rain curtain. He could think of these, thanks to the dignitaries in the Ancient King City. Because of the bombing case ordered by the other side, he had doubts in this regard.
The performance of those dignitaries was too intense. That feeling had far exceeded the degree of secret cooperation with the Dark God Sect, as if Su Xiao's previous trip to the Ancient King City was to deal with them. It seemed that these Ancient King City dignitaries could not be underestimated, and they had some guesses about Moon Witch's plan.
Under such circumstances, Su Xiao rashly going to Eternal Winter City might even be besieged by that force. He was not afraid of this at all, but the Demon Zerg was not a display. If the Winter King had the overall view as rumored, the best choice now was to temporarily sell the teammate Dark God Sect.
【War Lord】
Title Effect 1: Lord Authority (Active), can open the Void Gate connecting to the Eternal Light World - Zerg Base, summoning a large number of Demon Zergs...
Title Effect 2: Designated Summoning (Active),...
Title Effect 3: Strongest Flame Dragon - Barbato, summon the Demon Flame Dragon - Barbato. If the Demon Flame Dragon - Barbato is in a world without Zerg units of the same race, it will enter a brutal state and receive bonuses from the entire Demon Zerg. The more Zerg units the Demon Zerg has, the higher the bonus the Barbato entering the brutal state will receive (the limit bonus is 10 million Demon Zergs. When the number of Zerg units of the Demon Zerg exceeds this extreme value, it will not bring higher bonuses to Barbato).
Prompt: The cooldown of this ability is 30 natural days.
Prompt: After summoning the Demon Flame Dragon - Barbato, Barbato can stay for at most 1 hour, then will be teleported back to the Eternal Light World, and the brutal state will be lifted.
If the Winter King, who was colluding with the Dark God Sect, wanted to experience the Demon Dragon Flame, then Su Xiao didn't mind summoning Barbato to this world.
Su Xiao turned back to the teleportation tower. He came to a teleportation platform and began to adjust the teleportation scale by himself. As the teleportation array was activated, the coordinate array map formed above shattered with a crack. Seeing this scene, he knew what was going on. Eternal Winter City had carried out spatial blocking, prohibiting teleportation to that side.
Seeing this, Su Xiao walked out of the teleportation tower. As long as the spatial coordinates were obtained, everything else was not a problem.
An hour later, in an empty park, the little assistant Alana sat on a bench with a pale face, waiting. She looked at the teleportation array gradually taking shape in the open space, and she suddenly wanted to go home.
A moment later.
Boom!
After a muffled sound that made the surrounding earth tremble, the "Law-Extinguishing Teleportation Array" was activated.
At the same time, Eternal Winter City.
Boom!!
In the area behind the city, a space interception tower a hundred meters high stood. At this moment, after a loud noise, this space interception tower shattered. The broken spatial array map drew spatial ripples in mid-air.
A moment later, several teams of soldiers in armor rushed over. The leader was an Ice-born with a single horn, wearing silver armor. The so-called Ice-born was a very ancient ethnic group in this world. Before the Abyss Era, they were active in the North.
This Ice-born was the second son of the current Winter King, named Emu, known as the Winter Sword Emu. Compared to his elder brother, he was stronger, but the probability of competing for the throne was not high.
Emu looked at the broken space interception tower. He subconsciously thought that someone had blown up this tower from the inside. He immediately ordered: "Block the surroundings..."
The order of the Winter Sword Emu was only half-given when his trusted scout rushed over as fast as he could and reported urgently: "Your Highness, an intruder is asking to see you."
Being interrupted, Emu felt dissatisfied, but didn't show it. This trusted subordinate had followed him for many years, had always been capable, and was good at observing words and colors, so he shouldn't be like this.
"Your Highness, this person also claims that he accidentally destroyed our space tower and wants to meet you to discuss compensation."
Hearing this, Emu's gaze revealed danger. He said coldly: "Lead the way."
Emu took a group of personal guards and soon arrived at the city gate of the high wall. Just arriving here, he saw all the guards fall to the ground, sleeping soundly with snoring sounds one after another, which made him immediately hold his breath.
"The second son of the Winter King?"
Su Xiao sat on the wooden cargo box of the carriage, snow falling slowly. He threw away the empty potion bottle in his hand.
"Let's talk business. It concerns the safety of Eternal Winter City. I think you will be interested."
As Su Xiao spoke, he semi-activated the 【War Lord】 title. A 10,000-meter-high Zerg nest, Demon Flame Dragons flying all over the sky, countless Demon Beasts, and Titan Giants of huge size all appeared behind Su Xiao in the form of phantoms. This scene made the anger in Emu's heart quickly subside.
"I am very interested."
The Winter Sword Emu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He understood even more that this Law-Extinguisher without forces was not afraid of retaliation at all. Retaliate against whom? The Law-Extinguishing camp? That's not reliable. Retaliate against Reincarnation Paradise? Eternal Winter City didn't want to try such a novel way of seeking death.
The reason Su Xiao met the Winter Sword Emu was that he couldn't think of an area more suitable for the Dark Twins to complete their plan than Eternal Winter City. Here, spatial teleportation was banned, but summoning-type spatial fluctuations would not be blocked. That is to say, this place became the most stable place to operate the summoning array in this world, and also the best place to reverse the summoning array.
Combined with the fact that Eternal Winter City had been colluding with the Dark God Sect for a long time, with so many conditions added together, no one believed that the Dark Twins were not here.
"Where are the things set up by the Dark Twins?"
Su Xiao spoke. This was his purpose for finding the Winter Sword Emu. He could indeed track the location of the Dark Twins, but if the other side was speed-type and didn't want to fight, it would be tricky. But if Su Xiao found the location of the reverse Abyss summoning array that the Dark Twins had spent massive resources to set up, the other side would have to fight.
"It is impossible for me to betray my collaborators. Give up, Law-Extinguisher."
The Winter Sword Emu said coldly. Then, he raised his hand and continued: "You all step back first. I will learn the ability of this Law-Extinguisher. Don't let outsiders say that we Ice-born in the North bully the few with the many."
Emu's personal guards retreated one after another. Under the order of the guard captain, they simply retreated into the city.
Seeing that his subordinates had all left, the coldness on Emu's face gradually subsided. His sentence "It is impossible for me to betray my collaborators" should actually be understood as: "It is impossible for me to betray my collaborators in front of so many subordinates. I must wait for them to leave before I can betray them."
"This prince is suddenly feeling unwell. Today's single combat is canceled and changed to tomorrow."
With that, Emu turned and left, but just after taking a step, a map fell to the ground.
After returning to the city, Emu re-gathered his subordinates. He coughed and said: "That Law-Extinguisher is very capable, but after fighting with me, he was defeated and retreated."
Hearing this, a group of personal guards hurriedly connected various rainbow farts, but one of the guards asked respectfully: "My lord, the loss of this space tower being destroyed..."
"Of course, look for the Dark God Sect. Damn Dark God Sect, destroying the space tower of my Eternal Winter City."
As Emu spoke, he couldn't hide his worry. He had always disagreed with his father's cooperation with the Dark God Sect. Now, the drawbacks of cooperating with the Dark God Sect were exposed.
Tick, tick.
Black liquid dripped into the ritual vessel. Two figures stood before the ritual vessel, dressed in black and white robes respectively. The figure in the black robe had a white ring behind him, and the figure in the white robe had black patterns behind him. This was the Dark Twins.
Among the Dark Twins, the elder brother was thin, while the younger brother was over four meters tall, with hands presenting metallic blackness and fine scales.
These two brothers usually had the elder brother make decisions. The Dark Elder Brother looked at the ritual vessel that was about to overflow, and finally, there was a hint of a smile in his pitch-black eyes.
Just at this time, a member of the Dark God Sect rushed over in a hurry, knelt on one knee, and said urgently: "Two lords, it's not good. Law-Extinguisher White Night discovered our secret stronghold and may destroy those summoning spells at any time."
Pop~
This member of the Dark God Sect shattered in response. His blood outlined a spell in the air. Seeing that this spell could be formed, the Dark Elder Brother knew that the space-blocking tower of Eternal Winter City had a problem.
The next second, this spatial spell was activated. Hundreds of big and small leaders of the Dark God Sect were all teleported here because of the marks on their bodies, including two ruthless characters whose strength was second only to the Dark Twins. After these two saw that the Dark Twins' expressions were not good, they didn't say anything.
The spell under everyone's feet changed, and everyone felt the teleportation sensation. When the spatial fluctuations dissipated, the group led by the Dark Twins arrived in a hall. Located ahead, there was a corridor leading to the inside.
The Dark Twins walked at the very front. After the group passed through the corridor, they arrived at the inner hall where the reverse Abyss summoning array was set up. The area here was over ten thousand square meters, with metallic array patterns spread all over the ground. On the wall inside, because there were many Abyss engravings, dark mist was emitting.
After stopping, a group of Dark God Sect members saw that in the inner hall at this moment, faint light shone down from above, darkness filled the back, and the ground was covered with metallic array patterns. In the center of the array patterns, a metal chair was placed. A figure was sitting on it, a sheathed long blade stood on the ground, and this person's hands were folded and pressed on the end of the hilt, with a black metal armguard wrapping the entire forearm and hand on one arm. Those eyes with blood light in the center of the pupils were looking calmly at the group of Dark God Sect members.
The pressure coming toward them made the group of Dark God Sect members inevitably panic. The aura of the powerful enemy opposite was too strong. Dozens of meters away, they all felt the blade sense coming toward them, as well as the blood energy that forced their heartbeats to slow down.
The scene at this time didn't look like Su Xiao challenging the Dark Twins as the big boss, but rather like the Dark Twins bringing a group of subordinates to besiege a hegemon-level big boss.
Su Xiao looked at the group of enemies opposite. Even with the Dark Twins as powerful enemies, he was not afraid of this siege, because he had mastered a melee-type ultimate move with a coverage range of 3000 meters: Green Shadow King. ===== CHAPTER 3804 =====
