Chapter 3830
The situation in the top city exceeded everyone's expectations. The parties that had been prepared to make a move all chose to watch.
At this moment in Central Park, screams and shouts were endless. Although the three assassin brothers hadn't fought Lady Silver yet, the chase between the two sides caused quite a stir, leaving the originally peaceful park in chaos.
Boom!
Lady Silver flew backward, crashing through multiple walls and into a cold drink shop. She sat among the rubble, looking at the three assassin brothers walking toward her.
"You three idiots, I am not your target. See clearly who I am."
Lady Silver glared at the three assassin brothers. The second brother sneered and said: "I see clearly, of course. Today is your death date, Wen Dulin Palmeria."
After saying this, the second brother whispered guiltily to his eldest brother beside him: "Big brother, I have confirmed it repeatedly. The target is correct. This is the enemy's scheme."
"Hmm."
The eldest brother pressed his index and middle fingers together, gently rubbing his temples. Everything he saw now looked like a peerless strong enemy. The assassination target opposite him was already turning into an abyss-nurtured creature in his eyes.
"You idiots..."
Lady Silver had just said this when a figure walked down the now-empty pedestrian street. This person was draped in a loose black robe, wearing a hood, holding a large bunch of grilled meat skewers in the right hand, and a can of beer in the other. After taking a sip of the ice-cold beer, the person glanced at them with peripheral vision, not stopping their pace at all.
In such a chaotic situation, Sha, who had just finished absorbing abyssal power and woke up to look for food, was passing by.
Suddenly, Sha stopped, looked around a few times, threw away the empty beer can in her hand, took out a stack of messy banknotes from her bosom, stared at them for a while, chose one, and then came to Lady Silver, holding the corner of the banknote, handed it to the other party, and said:
"Must be cold, fruit drink."
After Sha finished speaking, she took a big bite of the meat skewers, not caring about the sauce on the corner of her mouth, chewing loudly.
"?"
Lady Silver, still sitting in the rubble, was clearly stunned. She looked at the posters of various fruit drinks on the wall. This was indeed a cold drink shop. This suddenly appearing Absolute Tier seemed to be a regular here and had mistaken her for the shop manager?
Lady Silver didn't dare to act rashly, and neither did the three assassin brothers. The reason was that Sha had the strength to take on all three of them. One must know that Sha was an Absolute Tier who could fight Su Xiao. Although she couldn't beat him, she was not comparable to ordinary Absolute Tiers. Plus, Sha's shameless time-type ability meant she could pin the three assassin brothers to the ground and beat them.
Seeing Lady Silver didn't react for more than ten seconds, Sha shook the banknote in her hand, clearly urging Lady Silver to hurry up.
Although Lady Silver still felt confused, she stood up from the ground, went behind the workbench that was broken until only half remained, and clumsily prepared the fruit juice.
At this time, in a restaurant across the street, the Sky City Lord was enjoying lunch. Through the window, he saw the scene in the cold drink shop across the street. Especially after seeing Sha, his brows locked, because he knew Sha was a member of the "Star Tower." In other words, the "Star Tower," "Witch Guild," "Ancient King City," and "Law-Breaker" parties had all entered the game.
Behind the Sky City Lord's seat, his confidant, the financial officer in charge of Sky City's financial power, asked: "City Lord, the situation seems to have exceeded all our expectations. What should we do next?"
Hearing this, the Sky City Lord didn't speak but continued to enjoy his dinner. After finishing the meal, he put down the tableware, pulled off the napkin at his collar to wipe his mouth, and said: "Of course, deal with the Dark God Sect."
"Ah?"
The financial officer was stunned. He hadn't noticed the shadow of the Dark God Sect throughout this whole thing.
The Sky City Lord, who was burly, 3.5 meters tall, and had arms thicker than ordinary people's legs, stood up, stepped to the restaurant's checkout counter, took out his wallet from his bosom, and made a move to take out banknotes, but accidentally dropped a coin.
*Ding~*
After the coin landed, it showed amazing elasticity, actually bouncing higher than the Sky City Lord's height, flying toward the ceiling. The shop manager inside the checkout counter looked up subconsciously.
*Snap! *
The Sky City Lord grabbed the restaurant manager's head with one hand, blood seeping through his fingers. He lifted the restaurant manager out like a chicken and then muttered: "Isn't this just a piece of trash from the Dark God Sect?"
The Sky City Lord crushed the restaurant manager's head. After the headless corpse landed, it began to deform due to the uncontrolled dark energy in its body, turning into a creepy blood-and-flesh structure, slowly squirming.
This Sky City Lord's meaning was very clear: he didn't care how the four forces of "Star Tower," "Witch Guild," "Ancient King City," and "Law-Breaker" fought, even if all four were seriously injured, the Wizard Continent would still belong to the Wizard faction. But if the Dark God Sect took the opportunity to succeed, that would be bad. Therefore, he was prepared to stare at the Dark God Sect and beat them the whole time.
A secret known only to Moon Witch Cecily and President Per Yen was that this Sky City Lord was also a Supreme Power. Even if he was in the early stage of a Supreme Power, for one world to produce three Supreme Powers was already quite remarkable. Back then, the Wind Sea Continent produced a Supreme Power, Lady Spider, and for so many years, it had remained a glorious achievement of the Wind Sea Continent. One could imagine the weight of a Supreme Power.
If one had to talk about gold content, Lady Spider of the Wind Sea Continent certainly had higher gold content. She was a top-tier Supreme Power, while Moon Witch Cecily was a mid-tier Supreme Power, and President Per Yen and the Sky City Lord were lower-tier Supreme Powers.
At this time in the cold drink shop, Sha bought a cup of ice drink as she wished. She inserted a straw, took a sip, and couldn't help but frown. She raised the cold drink cup in her hand, tilted her head to look at it, then looked at Lady Silver, seeming to feel confused, but didn't say anything.
Baha glided silently into the cold drink shop and said to the three brothers: "You got the wrong target. Retreat."
"What? Impossible."
Under the gaze of his eldest and third brothers, the second brother still wanted to argue, but noticing Baha's gaze, the second brother muttered sheepishly and followed Baha outside.
Seeing this scene, Lady Silver let out a long breath. Turning around, she saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatting beside her.
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning: 'Beautiful, elegant lady, please give me a cup too.'
Lady Silver originally wanted to refuse, but looking at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's pitiful little eyes, she finally made a cup of fruit drink for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang happily took a sip with a straw, it couldn't help but choke, juice even spraying out of its nostrils. It whimpered and ran out of the cold drink shop. Seeing this, Lady Silver looked displeased. She picked up the remaining fruit juice, took a sip, and then her expression twisted.
Lady Silver handed the mixing cup to Amu beside her and walked out of the cold drink shop.
Ten minutes later, on the top of a high building on the south side of the park, because it was built relying on a giant tree, the roof was not abrupt and had a layer of turf, as well as solid wood tables and chairs.
Su Xiao looked at the three assassin brothers standing in a row. Because of his gaze, the three brothers avoided his eyes; they had just messed up the commission.
"Clearly, you recognized the wrong target."
Baha on Su Xiao's shoulder spoke. Hearing this, the assassin second brother sighed.
"However, you didn't completely fail."
Baha's words were not to comfort the three assassin brothers. The three assassin brothers did indeed achieve Su Xiao's expected goal, and the effect was even better.
Letting the three assassin brothers assassinate that high-level official of Sky City was merely to muddy the waters. The current situation was that the waters of Sky City were not just muddy; they had been turned into a pool of mud by the three assassin brothers. Old schemers like the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, the Abyss Archbishop, Su Xiao, and the Sky City Lord had not acted rashly, which showed how curious the current situation was.
"..."
Su Xiao threw out a bag of soul coins. After the assassin eldest brother caught it, he wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Xiao raising his hand. He said: "I see you three brothers are talented..."
Before Su Xiao finished speaking, the assassin second brother said excitedly: "Really?"
"..."
Su Xiao stared at the assassin second brother for a few seconds. Under this oppressive, death-like gaze, the second brother turned his head and cowered. Su Xiao continued:
"I know of a force that is very suitable for you three brothers. This is a referral token..."
After Su Xiao gave the three assassin brothers general instructions, the three brothers' eyes lit up. The three of them looked at each other and decided to leave the Witch Realm and go to the Wind Sea Continent soon.
As for the force Su Xiao recommended to the three assassin brothers, it was naturally the Hunter Guild. Although this force was neutral, there had always been a high-priced bounty from Su Xiao there. In this situation, letting the three assassin brothers go to wreak havoc on the Hunter Guild was very appropriate. Furthermore, the three assassin brothers were indeed not suitable for the Witch Realm; the Wind Sea Continent was where they could be in their element.
Not long after the three assassin brothers left, the door to the roof was pushed open. Sha walked to the edge and sat down, drinking the fruit drink, swinging her two small legs back and forth, looking very relaxed and comfortable. This made Su Xiao discover one thing: Sha seemed to have two states now. This black robe with a hood was imbued with luck, destiny, and other powers, and it also had a powerful suppression and sealing effect on dark characteristics.
Therefore, when Sha wore this loose black robe, she was actually not very dangerous. Plus, she was currently in the stage of absorbing abyssal energy, which temporarily limited her thinking ability. This led to Sha in this state being both relaxed and unconstrained—the type who wouldn't be angry if bumped into by a stranger on the street, just looking at the other party for two seconds, then tilting her head to look for two seconds, and finally walking to a nearby snack stall.
If evaluated by equipment level, Sha's black robe was at least Eternal-level +12 equipment, and the price was quite staggering. I don't know who gave it to her; it certainly wasn't the three "Council Elders"—they had always wanted to use Sha. Inferring this, it must be other members of the "Star Tower."
The members of the "Star Tower" still alive now were the Ancient King and the Strongest Filth-Bearer, the Dark Prophet. The Ancient King seemed to still be in a deep sleep, so it could only be the Dark Prophet.
Don't look at Sha now being relaxed and unconstrained; once she took off this black robe, the melee Valkyrie would return, and she would be a dark-version melee Valkyrie, ruthless and merciless.
Sha yawned. Wearing the hood, she rummaged in her bosom and took out a sealed crystal bottle. This was definitely not sealed by Sha. Before absorbing abyssal energy, she couldn't even understand basic spells, let alone this kind of high-level sealing spell. She threw the crystal bottle toward Su Xiao behind her.
Su Xiao caught the crystal bottle with one hand, and a sense of darkness spread through his palm.

Sitting on the edge of the roof, Sha, with her back to Su Xiao, raised her hand, waved it left and right, and then fell down. During the fall, she suddenly disappeared, appearing on the street instead. She walked toward the edge of the top city because something in the depths of the bottom city below was attracting her.
On the terrace of the roof, Su Xiao took out the "Star Disk" and used it to absorb the second portion of dark blood he had obtained. This caused the "Star Disk" to change from its original gold to dark gold. The patterns on it became denser, and a vague mark appeared in the center. It looked somewhat like the mark of the Wizard faction, but there were many differences in the details.
Sha chose to abandon the dark blood; nine times out of ten, she couldn't continue to fleece the three "Council Elders." One thing to note was that although she could cooperate with Sha this time, it was hard to say what the situation would be next time they met. How much longer Sha could maintain her self was unpredictable.
A loud noise came from below. Su Xiao sensed for a moment and found that this loud noise didn't come from the top city, or even the middle city below, but from the bottom city on the surface. A shock of this magnitude was definitely not something an ordinary person could make. His first thought was that President Per Yen had come to Sky City, but then he felt it was impossible. Per Yen was currently staring at the Meteorite Star.
The situation in the Witch Realm was becoming increasingly confusing, and as an old enemy of the Witch Realm, the Meteorite Star side didn't seem prepared to give up this opportunity. President Per Yen, this Supreme Power, made the Meteorite Star temporarily not act.
Excluding President Per Yen, Su Xiao thought that this Sky City Lord was probably not simple. As for the opponent he was fighting, one didn't even need to think to know it was the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and the Abyss Archbishop. Among these three, the Abyss Archbishop's combat power had recovered to near Supreme Power. After all, this person was a top-tier Supreme Power before being imprisoned in the Eternal Light World.
The Platinum Apostle's strength had always been unfathomable, and there was no need to mention the Priest. How strong his strength was didn't matter; the key was that this old guy's survivability was too strong, even capable of creating a fake death method that was shocking, like a disguised kill notification.
In this way, the situation in Sky City became clear:
Sky City Lord VS Super Old Schemer Combination.
Su Xiao VS Star Tower.
The Witch Guild was watching for the time being, and the Ancient King City, after being secretly cleaned up by the Moon Witch, had now retreated with a bruised face, not daring to get involved in this matter anymore.
Su Xiao closed the mission list. Next, he had to find the Strongest Filth-Bearer, the Dark Prophet. This was very troublesome; the other party was a prophet, and their abilities in prophecy, divination, etc., were very strong. Plus, the mission deadline was only five natural days.
Just at this time, the communicator by Su Xiao's hand rang. After picking it up, he found it was Alanna from the Witch Guild branch in Sky City calling. After picking up, Alanna on the other side lowered her voice and said: "Lord Bai Ye, a mysterious person has come to the branch to find you."
Alanna had just said this when the communication was suddenly cut off, and then a hissing sound came from the communicator, as if interfered with by a signal.
Su Xiao held the communicator with one hand and thought for a few seconds before getting up and taking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha to the Witch Guild branch on Full Moon Street. Twenty minutes later, he pushed open the door of the branch. Because Sky City did it on purpose, the scale of this branch was not large, only three floors, with only 20-plus witches and 30-plus staff members responsible for daily affairs.
Although it was daytime, gas lamps were on here, and the light was flickering. After Su Xiao went up to the guest hall on the second floor, he found it even dimmer. All the witches of the branch were here, all staring vigilantly at the aged figure hunched over on the sofa.
This person was over 2 meters tall, but because of his hunchback and withered thinness, he only appeared to have a large frame. He wore a gray-black robe, his hood was very low, and only the withered lower half of his face could be seen, as well as lips so dry they had many vertical cracks. His hands were as withered as tree bark, and he held a tree staff less than two meters long in his right hand, which had many worm-eaten traces.
A strong aura of filth dispersed with this person as the center point, and because of this, the surrounding witches didn't dare to approach him, plus he was deliberately restraining and suppressing his own aura of filth.
This person was the Strongest Filth-Bearer, the Dark Prophet, the target of the Main Mission: Fourth Ring.
Sensing Su Xiao's arrival, the Dark Prophet looked up, revealing the pale, withered eyes under the hood. His eyes were already blind, but no matter what, he was the famous Dark Prophet of the Witch Realm, an ancient traveler who traveled everywhere, absorbing the suffering, pain, misfortune, etc., he saw.
The Dark Prophet stood up with somewhat slow movements, and then, in the shocked gaze of Alanna and the other witches, he crawled and knelt before Su Xiao, holding the semi-fluid "Dark Blood: Wisdom" and gradually raising it, offering it to Su Xiao, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Respected Law-Breaker, Guardian of Original Sin, King of Deathly Silence, it is an supreme honor for me, a filthy person, to see you. Please accept these dark bloods, please, let our witches be liberated."
