Chapter 3965: Hungry Wolf

An airship floated slowly overhead. The bright sunlight cast a rainbow by the fountain in the city center. Groups of tourists in the central square were some novel alien races, some holding cameras—travelers from the Void, and there were even newspaper reporters setting up various equipment for live interviews.

This is Dawn City, a massive city with tens of millions of people, completely different from what was expected, or rather, this is its natural appearance.

This place was built by the rule-breakers of the Dawn Paradise. They have unique vision and foresight, clearly knowing that if they ruled here with harsh violence, it would inevitably lead to a lack of population and a dull and oppressive atmosphere. The rule-breakers themselves had become Undying. If they were in a particularly oppressive environment, the decay and collapse of their souls would be sooner or later.

Under the leadership of the former rule-breaker leader, Xiketu, Dawn City had this style. The permanent population exceeded 75 million. Besides this, there were travelers from the myriad worlds of the Void. Don't forget, this world has no death rules. Some travelers seeking excitement are addicted to this point, although accidents happen occasionally.

At this moment, the headquarters of the Eternal Life Society, in a magnificent building with over a hundred floors.

Click, click—

A metal object flipped on his fingertips, hitting the solid wood table lightly. Govo, the tattooed strong man, Moon Witch, and others were standing or sitting in front of the office desk. Behind the office desk was a man whose body was partially mechanically modified and whose eyes were dark red. His name was Jin Xie, and he was the Vice President of the Eternal Life Society, with a status second only to the President, Xiketu.

"You went with fourteen people, didn't get the job done, and only eight came back. Can I understand it this way?"

Jin Xie put down the metal object in his hand and looked toward Govo. Govo remained silent. The tattooed strong man on the side said: "We encountered a Hunter from the Reincarnation Paradise this time……"

Before the tattooed strong man could finish, Jin Xie glanced at him: "So because you encountered a Hunter, you can avoid the fault of failure? You seem to have forgotten what your consciousness relies on to exist until today."

Jin Xie's words left the tattooed strong man speechless, and he retreated half a step in silence.

Govo looked at Jin Xie. In terms of status, both parties were in a superior-subordinate relationship, but in terms of the President, Xiketu, Jin Xie was not his only confidant.

Therefore, the position of Vice President was rotated. Jin Xie had served as Vice President for nine years, and in the second half of next year, it would be Kuang Shi's turn to serve in this position. Kuang Shi was Govo's direct superior.

"The matter was messed up, so someone has to take the blame. You are Kuang Shi's subordinate, so go find him and explain it clearly yourself."

Although Jin Xie and Kuang Shi had always had a bad relationship, it hadn't reached the point of turning against each other.

Govo turned and left the office. Jin Xie sized up the remaining few, his gaze falling on Moon Witch. After sizing her up, he decided to stay away from this generation of rule-breakers. The abilities of this generation of rule-breakers were too weird, especially that guy who called himself Priest. As for White Platinum Apostle, he was an old opponent in the past, but now they were in the same camp. Things in the world are unpredictable.

"Although our two sides are in a cooperative relationship, this time……"

Before Jin Xie could finish, the office door was pushed open. A girl with round-rimmed glasses, curved sheep horns on her head, short white hair, and horizontal pupils walked into the room. She looked around at the crowd and asked:

"Why did only seven come back?"

Hearing this, Jin Xie, the tattooed strong man, and other Eternals had no reaction, as if they were long used to it. Moon Witch, Sea Crocodile, Ten Yakshas, and Tree Demon, the four rule-breakers, all frowned or showed dissatisfaction.

"Govo is Kuang Shi's subordinate, so what can I do to him? Don't forget who the next Vice President is."

While Jin Xie was talking, he rested his feet on the office desk one after another. This rude behavior made the horizontal-pupil girl, Bai Yang, frown.

Bai Yang sat down and looked around at the few people present. She didn't quite believe the lying Eternals, so her gaze fell on Sea Crocodile. This was the first contemporary rule-breaker she had contacted.

Regarding these rule-breakers, Bai Yang maintained vigilance in her heart. The reason was that yesterday, her President, Xiketu, summoned several confidants and told them about the situation of this batch of rule-breakers. For example, the Original Sin Ancient God system, the Fate Causality system, and the guys preparing to seize the Heaven-Chosen luck.

For these people, Bai Yang felt a bit shocked. She finally understood that these contemporary rule-breakers were all escaped ghosts. The rule-breakers of their era were at least bound by the Dawn Paradise. Even if the binding regulations were relatively loose, at least there were boundaries and bottom lines. But the rule-breakers of today had nothing.

Come to think of it, under the President, Xiketu, there were once twelve core members, and these twelve core members each managed a large adventurer team. This was the largest rule-breaker force of the Dawn Paradise back then.

To this day, only six of the twelve core members remain: Jin Xie, Huan Yu, Bai Yang, Nu Niu, Kuang Shi, and Tan Xie. Among them, Jin Xie is the current Vice President, Kuang Shi is the next Vice President, and Bai Yang serves as a strategist and does not participate in the rotation of the Eternal Life Society: Vice President position.

Nu Niu and Tan Xie have long been colluding. Unless summoned by the President, they definitely won't return to the headquarters. As for Huan Yu, it can only be said that this guy plays too wildly, making Bai Yang, whose thinking is not conservative, feel unbearable to look at.

After listening to Sea Crocodile's description of this operation, Bai Yang's slender eyebrows frowned, and she asked: "According to your description, you don't know whether those six missing people were missing or killed?"

"Undying…… No, Eternals, can they really die?"

Sea Crocodile's question was not directly answered by Bai Yang. Moon Witch said: "At least they can't be slashed to death. Of course, it could also be that the slashing ability level we used to test was not high enough."

"Theoretically speaking, Eternals cannot die. Our immortality does not come from ourselves; it is because this world has no death laws."

Jin Xie lit a cigar from the Sea Clan area and tasted it. He felt a secret pity. He heard that the Wind Sea Continent had undergone drastic changes. The Beast Clan and Sea Clan were almost wiped out, so this cigar was naturally a discontinued product. After distributing some to his good friends in the Lord Continent, he had even fewer stocks in his hands.

"Wait, you just said." Bai Yang pointed at Sea Crocodile thoughtfully and continued: "Those six missing people, were they missing team by team? Without any sign?"

"Yes."

Getting this accurate answer, Bai Yang was worried. This made Jin Xie ask seriously: "Is the situation very serious?"

Jin Xie is the Vice President now, and this order was issued by him. If something went wrong, he would have to take the blame. The awe of Xiketu and the fear that was difficult to erase after day-by-day accumulation made him not want to take this blame.

"I feel that these six people…… don't look like they were teleported away or fell into traps. They look more like…… they were 'eaten'."

Bai Yang's words made Jin Xie feel surprised. He really couldn't imagine what would eat an Eternal.

"I'm just guessing. This situation is like, among these sixteen who went out, a ghost swallowed one of them and replaced him. By relying on his identity and skin, he easily swallowed the other person in the same team, and then eliminated and replaced them one by one. If so, his next target is……"

Bai Yang, who was pondering, looked at Moon Witch and asked: "Among you, who suggested returning to the headquarters?"

"Govo, who led the team."

"You, go find Govo immediately."

Bai Yang pointed at the tattooed strong man. The tattooed strong man didn't dare to question it. He left quickly. Don't think that Eternals are fearless. In the thousand-meter insect well in the back courtyard of the Eternal Life Society headquarters, there are quite a few Eternals who disobeyed Xiketu still struggling in pain. The only expectation they have is that their souls can no longer bear the torture and collapse, so they can be liberated.

Half an hour after the tattooed strong man went out, he returned quickly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Speak!"

Bai Yang got angry, but it didn't have any majesty. Instead, compared to when she had a cold expression, it added a bit of cuteness.

"Only found this thing."

The tattooed strong man unfolded his right hand. In his hand was a black ring, which was Govo's favorite object. It is said that it was left by his deceased old friend.

"This is……"

Bai Yang knew this ring. She signaled the tattooed strong man to hand it over. The tattooed strong man stepped forward. Just when he was less than two meters away from Bai Yang, Jin Xie, who had his feet on the office desk and was smoking a cigar, suddenly shrank his pupils. Bang, the chair under him was shattered by his giant force. Heavy golden body energy climbed onto his arms. Unfortunately, this was still not fast enough.

The tattooed strong man, who was originally handing over the black ring, had already flicked it out with his thumb. At the critical moment, Bai Yang tilted her head, and the flicked ring flew past her ear like a railgun, blowing her short white hair.

Although Bai Yang dodged this attack, a hand grabbed toward her throat. With no way to dodge, the petite Bai Yang was lifted by the throat. Black-blue smoke spread from the tattooed strong man's hand, eroding toward Bai Yang's neck, which made her pupils start to shrink violently.

Boom!

The tattooed strong man was blasted to pieces. Jin Xie jumped down from the office desk and crushed the head of the tattooed strong man, which was still complete, with one foot.

Something that even surprised Jin Xie happened: he actually killed the tattooed strong man. As a former rule-breaker, he was too familiar with this feeling of inflicting death.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Bai Yang covered her throat with one hand and asked with pain: "How did you do it? You…… killed him."

"I, not quite sure."

Jin Xie made a gesture to help Bai Yang up, but Bai Yang, who was sitting on the ground, retreated and raised one hand, saying sternly: "Don't come over."

This distrustful move made Jin Xie stunned for a moment, then he nodded and retreated a few steps, asking: "Did I eliminate the intruder, or was I used as a knife by him?"

"He is not dead."

Bai Yang got up. She came to the window, made a gesture to jump out of the broken window gracefully and dashingly, and then bumped into the window back with a bit of cuteness, hurting so much that she didn't dare to breathe hard.

"Sealing, right."

Bai Yang pressed one hand on the window glass, and sealing formulas emerged outside. Her eyes revealed white light, with an attitude of "just a small sealing."

Hum!

A layer of sealing outside was broken. Bai Yang understood and nodded.

"As expected of you, the seal is broken?"

Jin Xie didn't spare any praise. He knew very well that Bai Yang's smart and arrogant personality was fine as long as he praised her.

"Broken one layer."

"How many layers in total?"

"100."

"It seems you have to work hard."

Jin Xie continued to praise, but this time it was meaningless.

"I mean, 100 million layers."

After Bai Yang said this, she couldn't hold back her hatred anymore.

"This bastard has a sick brain. He must have some kind of mental mutation. How could he be so insane as to stack more than 100 million layers for a trap-sealing boundary? I'll fight him to the death."

Bai Yang's vest, which she had almost forgotten as one of the top ten sprayers of the Dawn Paradise, began to gradually go online.

"Can you beat him?"

Among the four Moon Witch, a voice suddenly spoke. This made the four Moon Witch, Sea Crocodile, Ten Yakshas, and Tree Demon stiffen. You look at me, I look at you, confirming that it wasn't said by each other.

"Who spoke? Stand out."

Bai Yang made a gesture of breaking defense, but after taking a few deep breaths, she restored her elegance and ease. It seemed that after being trapped in life and death for so many years, her spirit also started to be not quite normal.

At this time, there were 8 people in the office, 4 rule-breakers and 4 Eternals. Among the Eternals, besides Jin Xie and Bai Yang, the other two were middle and lower-level members, namely Blood Axe and God Teacher. These two, one was a melee power type, the other was a twisted gift type.

The so-called twisted gift is a variant system of the healing type, which transforms the ability originally used for buffing into negative transformation, while giving the enemy a power bonus, it also brings physical distortion and deformity.

Jin Xie took out the communication device. After dialing, there was a buzzing interference sound inside. The signal here was shielded. Needless to say, this was done by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Seeing this situation, Jin Xie pressed his hand on the wall and released his perception, only to find that the building walls were full of sealing formulas, which led to the perception wall being isolated. At most, he could only perceive the room he was in, and couldn't even perceive the situation in the next room.

Jin Xie's gaze turned to Bai Yang. Although Bai Yang would sometimes be irritable and out of control, the calm Bai Yang was very reliable. She said: "The enemy is unlikely to give us a chance to contact the outside world. Gather everyone in the headquarters to the first floor. Now whoever is alone is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. A hungry wolf has mixed in."

"Blood Axe, you go."

Jin Xie had just ordered when he was interrupted by Bai Yang. She said: "You and Blood Axe go together. The intruder's strength is very strong. If Blood Axe goes, he might not return……"

Just after Bai Yang and Jin Xie made the decision as quickly as possible, Moon Witch wanted to speak but stopped. After all, she was not from the Eternal Life Society. Raising an objection rashly at such a dangerous juncture would inevitably lead to infighting.

Bai Yang saw Moon Witch's concerns and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all on the same boat now."

"It's like this. If I'm not mistaken, the one who sneaked in this time might be Hunter: Bai Ye."

"Oh, the Law-Exterminator who blew up several resource stars of the Arcane Eternal Star. I've heard of him. Why, he might have blown up Dawn City? If so, we can use this to ruin his reputation in the myriad worlds……"

"It's unnecessary. You might not know this person very well. Even in the evil camp sequence, his degree of good and evil is quite extreme. It belongs to the category where the evil camp is hostile to him, and sometimes they will worry about his good and evil value suddenly breaking the lower limit."

"Uh, okay. What were you going to say just now? Continue."

Bai Yang's implication was very clear: you contemporary rule-breakers are more than just letting yourselves go.

"Everything has a balance relationship. Among the rule-breakers of our generation, guys like Priest and Hao Tao appeared. Corresponding to this, Hunter: Bai Ye appeared among the Hunters of the Reincarnation Paradise. So what I want to say to the two is to use more cautious measures to deal with this attack."

"Oh, got it."

Bai Yang agreed on her mouth, but her plan was always to find the evil ghost that had mixed into her old nest and pull it out, rather than a stronger sense of crisis.

"Using the measurement standards of you former rule-breakers, you can understand this guy as the Leader of your era."

Moon Witch said this final warning. Suddenly, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Bai Yang, Jin Xie, Blood Axe, and God Teacher all looked at Moon Witch. Among them, Bai Yang questioned Moon Witch:

"What gave you such an outrageous misunderstanding? Or rather, is this guy named Bai Ye a subordinate of the Leader? Like the White Platinum Apostle of the year?"

Bai Yang looked at Moon Witch with dangerous horizontal pupils. Moon Witch said: "Not really. There is a force in the Void with only a few people, named Starry Sky Seat. The Leader is the No. 2 Starry Sky Seat among them, and Bai Ye is the No. 5 Starry Sky Seat. This is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but more like a senior and junior colleague relationship in a force."

"Are you, sure."

Bai Yang's horizontal pupils became dangerous.

"Very sure. So what do we do next?"

"Escape from this building immediately."

While Bai Yang was talking, she had already walked quickly behind the office desk and opened the secret door, revealing the elevator in the wall.

"I say two, Bai Ye is difficult to deal with, that's true, but we don't have to retreat to this extent. This is your headquarters, at least hundreds of Eternals……"

Moon Witch's words failed to make Bai Yang change her mind. She continued to adjust the elevator's start dial and said:

"Today the President is out, handling an important matter, and took away Huan Yu, Nu Niu, Kuang Shi, Tan Xie, and dozens of core members."

"Then there are still more than 300 Eternals here……"

Moon Witch had just said this when Bai Yang suddenly paused and interrupted Moon Witch: "If what you said just now is true, Bai Ye is equivalent to the Leader at the Absolute Rank. Then at this very moment, I can tell you very clearly that in this building, besides us few, there will be no other things that can breathe."

After listening to Bai Yang's words, Moon Witch was still a bit unwilling. She had been beaten too miserably in the previous two rounds. This round finally reached her turn, and then she was given such a nightmare opening?

The elevator dial opened. Bai Yang, Jin Xie, Blood Axe, and others walked into the elevator one after another. Seeing this, Moon Witch and the others could only enter it. The elevator started to go down. This made Bai Yang breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the seal here only acted on walls, windows, main doors, etc., and did not close the underground shaft. It was really wise not to be confused by the Undying back then and abandon these emergency means.

However, Bai Yang, Jin Xie, and others were all confused about one point, which was why their Undying nature failed.

Jin Xie's index finger rubbed against the inner wall of the elevator. After carefully feeling it, he was puzzled: "The spatial characteristics here seem to have changed."

"Got it. That guy covered a layer of something similar to a boundary here. This is a part of a world, overlapped into this area. In this small world area, there are death laws, so we will die here."

Bai Yang's words made several people look enlightened. Just at this time, the elevator stopped. Several people walked quickly forward along the passage, and finally started to jog. A moment later, they stopped in front of an elevator. Through this elevator, they could return to the ground and come to a secret stronghold half a kilometer away from the headquarters.

Bai Yang, Jin Xie, and others had just prepared to step forward when the door of this elevator opened on its own. In the elevator, stood a figure holding a blood-stained long blade. In the dim environment, the blood-stained sharp blade and the light in his eyes were both bright red to the point of being terrifying.

The long-lost feeling of fear gradually climbed into Bai Yang's heart. However, none of the few people present were cowards, and their respective abilities and auras were fully opened.

Two minutes later.

Drip, drip.

Jin Xie, who was hung upside down by a leg wrapped in Soul Shadow Threads, had only a little blood left flowing from his throat, dripping down along his thorn-shaped hair that was stuck together by blood. Hung upside down, his eyes were wide open, and his lifeless eyes were full of unwillingness and powerlessness. He had already fought with all his strength, but the cruel reality was that he was slashed to his knees by one blade, his proud golden arm was slashed away by the second blade, and he was killed by the third blade through the throat.

Ten Yakshas, who was nailed to the wall by a crystal spear, was even more miserable. His body below the chest was kicked to pieces, and the crystal spear pierced his throat, nailing him to death. Only then did he understand why Sea Crocodile, who had spent three rounds of conquest in the Gentleman team, had been looking out of it. This conquest, except for the few top-tier Absolute Rank participants, everyone else was like being in purgatory.

"Where is Xiketu."

Su Xiao pinched Bai Yang's throat with one hand and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Go to hell, you."

Being choked by the throat and off the ground, with more than a dozen crystal daggers stuck in her body, Bai Yang had tears she couldn't control in her eyes. It wasn't that she was cowardly, but being slashed and pierced through the soul was indeed painful to the point that tears couldn't be controlled from flowing out.

"You have, three seconds left."

While Su Xiao was talking, his right hand choking Bai Yang raised higher. Bai Yang looked at him with a mixture of fear and hatred.

3, 2, 1.

Snap!

Keeping his word, after killing Bai Yang on the spot, he threw her aside. He walked toward Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan step by step. Moon Witch, who was nailed to the ground by Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan through her spine, had the corners of her eyes twitching. After arriving beside Moon Witch, Su Xiao squatted down.

"……"

Su Xiao was silent for a few seconds, got up and pulled out the long blade. Before Moon Witch could take out life-saving items to escape, he knocked her out with a punch.

After doing these, he walked toward the passage in front, heading to the lobby on the first floor of the Eternal Life Society headquarters. A moment later, he set up an explosive device in the lobby on the first floor and left through the main entrance. He set up the sealing boundary himself, so naturally, he had a way to pass through. Besides, this sealing boundary of over 100 million layers was about to expire, and it was not an eternal-type formula added to the "Original Sin Book."

Carrying the unconscious Moon Witch out of the Eternal Life Society headquarters, Su Xiao took out the communication device, but there was no signal. He asked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to turn off the shield, and the signal gradually recovered. He dialed the Priest. Ten seconds later, the Priest's voice came from the communication device:

"Bai Ye, have you had lunch?"

"Busy just now, not yet. How about you?"

"Eating. I have to recommend this small restaurant to you. Don't look at it being in a small underground city, but the taste is very good."

It could be heard that the Priest was not hypocritically polite, but sincerely recommending that small restaurant.

"The Myriad World Food Guide has it recorded. I will go."

"Bai Ye, tell me, what's the matter with contacting this old guy?"

"Did you collude with Xiketu?"

"How is that possible? These Dawn Paradise rule-breakers look down on us contemporary rule-breakers the most, saying we have no bottom line in doing things."

"Is that so? I just passed by and killed all the resident members of the Eternal Life Society headquarters. If you and Xiketu didn't cooperate, then this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Wait a moment, I'll let Xiketu talk to you."

It can be imagined that after the Priest said this, he handed the communication device in his hand to Xiketu at the same dining table.

"I heard that you helped me clean up the trash under my command. Thank you, Bai Ye."

A slightly hoarse, steady voice came. Xiketu didn't seem to care about the subordinates at the headquarters.

"Is that so."

Su Xiao's tone was calm, both like an inquiry and like a probe.

"Yeah."

Xiketu's tone was also very calm.

"There is an Eternal named Bai Yang who was unwilling to betray you even to death. It can be felt that she both admires and loves you. It seems that you, for the second time, have failed such

Xiketu's tone was also very calm.

"There is an Immortal named White Sheep who was unwilling to betray you even unto death. One can feel that she both worships and loves you. It seems you have failed such an admirer for the second time."

Click—!

A crushing sound came from the communicator. It can be said that Su Xiao generally doesn't use words to mess with an enemy's mentality, but once he decides to do so, it is highly likely to be effective.

One hour later, in front of the main entrance of the Immortal Society headquarters, Xiketu, the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and Hao Tao watched the sealing formation that firmly trapped the headquarters. Among them, the Priest stepped forward and raised his hand to press it onto the sealing formation.

"This seal is about to fail."

Crack, crack, crack—

Under the gray-white erosion, holes appeared on the sealing barrier that was about to fail. Xiketu walked into it, and Hao Tao followed. The Platinum Apostle hesitated for a moment and looked at the Priest.

"Priest, are you waiting for someone?"

"No, I am soft-hearted and cannot bear to see the remains of the dead."

Hearing the Priest's words, the Platinum Apostle decided not to go in and shouted toward the hole in the seal: "You two, don't touch anything inside. There might be..."

Just as he shouted this, millions of layers of seals suddenly appeared, closing the Immortal Society headquarters once again.

Inside the first-floor lobby, corpses were hung up by Spirit Shadow Threads. Xiketu, whose anger had been rising, had already sensed that something was wrong. An explosive device, resembling a sun, was activated more than ten meters below him.

One might ask, why would Xiketu and Hao Tao trigger the trap here? With Xiketu's caution, it shouldn't have been like this. Even if there really were traps that needed to be triggered, they should have been seen through by him.

In fact, the problem lies in the fact that the person who set this trap has hunting skills honed to an outrageous degree by the monsters and ghosts of the current era. This sealing barrier + Sun Holy Sword was not physically triggered or remotely activated. Such traps would inevitably be instantly perceived and dismantled by Xiketu. If things went poorly, this Sun Holy Sword might even have fallen into Xiketu's hands.

What is truly outrageous is that the sealing barrier + Sun Holy Sword here is triggered based on emotions. When the emotion of anger appears within 30 meters nearby, both are activated immediately.

How was this outrageous activation method achieved? The answer is through a trap-style contract. The content on this contract parchment can be linked to the emotions of any living creature nearby, and can even specify a certain emotion.

Anger triggers the sensory synchronization of the contract parchment. Although one cannot sign this contract because of it, the back of this contract parchment is full of conductive formations. Once sensory synchronization occurs, it is equivalent to detonating the trap connected to it.

And why use a million layers of sealing barriers to close this place? Naturally, it is not for the safety of Dawn City. At this time, except for this headquarters, there are no death rules elsewhere in this world. This sealing formation is to increase the power of the explosion, just like stuffing firecrackers into an iron can in childhood; the power of the firecrackers will be extraordinarily astonishing.

Boom!

A muffled sound caused the Immortal Society headquarters to swell several times over. Inside was the dense, explosive burning of the sun flames.

The Priest watched this scene, and the kind smile on his face even had a bit of gratification. Xiketu and Bai Ye fighting to the death was undoubtedly the situation he most wanted to see. He paid a great price to get Xiketu to provoke Bai Ye. Based on his understanding of Bai Ye's style of never letting revenge wait overnight, everything at this moment was within the plan.

"Priest, why are you having a nosebleed?"

"What?"

The Priest touched it, and sure enough, his hand was stained with black blood. He was just about to take out an antidote when his vision suddenly went black.

Dawn City, east of the city, in a hay barn on a farm.

Su Xiao sat on a crystal chair, holding a handful of hay in his hand, feeding a sheep. The sheep ate the grass and glanced at the person lying on the ground. To it, this was very complicated, but the hay in its mouth tasted better the more it chewed.

Su Xiao patted the sheep's head, and the sheep walked away. He threw down the remaining hay in his hand. Baja, on his shoulder, said: "My boss sometimes helps others treat injuries that are difficult to heal, so there's no need to pretend. He already sees that you are awake."

Hearing this, the Moon Witch sat up. Even at this moment, her temperament remained gentle. She is worthy of being a Charm-type rule-breaker. During the time she was kidnapped, the several powerhouses of this world she deeply charmed were searching frantically for her tracks in the city, all of them already hysterical.

"We have no personal grudge."

Su Xiao spoke, which made the Moon Witch look puzzled.

"It shouldn't be like this to you, but the outcome of this contention battle makes me unable to see through it."

Su Xiao handed over a damp, clean towel and added:

"It shouldn't be like this to you. Accept your fate; perhaps this is destined."

Su Xiao said "It shouldn't be like this to you" twice in a row, making the Moon Witch start to panic. She pretended to be calm: "Bai Ye, we are both at the Peerless level. At this level, would one really fear physical pain?"

The Moon Witch looked at Su Xiao with a half-smile. Seeing this, Baja on his shoulder sighed: "Moon Witch, you must know about the Wind Sea Continent. Some changes happened there. The Beast Race and the Sea Race were almost wiped out. But as the saying goes, good people don't live long, while scourges last for a thousand years. A group of Sea Race dark operatives who do dirty work, led by their dark operative leader, fled to the Void."

Speaking of this, Baja paused and continued: "This group of Sea Race consists of only a dozen people. The skill they rely on for survival is bringing the greatest physical and spiritual pain to their clients. You might not know that the Sea Race and the Beast Race of the Wind Sea Continent fought a ten-thousand-year blood war. In this long war, the structure of this Sea Race dark operative group gradually grew and perfected. To this day, no one knows better than them how to make clients wish they were dead."

Having reached this point, Baja paused again, giving the Moon Witch time to digest the above description. It concluded: "Ms. Moon Witch, we paid to book a luxury package for you over there. Calculating the time, they should have arrived at the largest space transit station in the Void. The next stop should be this world. Our two sides are hostile in terms of factions. Actually, we shouldn't treat you like this, but this time we were also forced into a dead end. I hope you understand."

Hearing the last sentence "I hope you understand," the Moon Witch's mentality collapsed a bit. She originally wanted to be tough again, but considering the Sea Race's methods, she decided that a good rule-breaker doesn't suffer immediate losses.

"Bai Ye, even if you want to know what the problem is, at the very least... you have to ask first! To mess with me without even asking, isn't that going too far?"

"..."

Su Xiao and Baja looked at each other. His gaze was: 'Baja, didn't you ask?'

Baja's gaze was: 'Boss, you left temporarily just now, how would I dare to act rashly and ask?'

Baja broke the silence: "Ahem~, sorry Ms. Moon Witch, there was a slight connection problem within our team. First, the first question: what is the Priest's purpose?"

"I don't know."

"Boss, look, I asked, she is being stubborn."

"I am not... being stubborn, it's that I really, really don't know."

The Moon Witch was almost angered to the point of internal injury.

"Is that so? Ahem~, sorry, let's change the question. What is Hao Tao's purpose?"

"To seize the Heaven's Choice of your boss, Bai Ye, and his Origin Stone world. More importantly, he possesses a Scarlet Card."

Hearing the last sentence, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took out a Scarlet Card: "This one?"

"I'm not sure, in short, it's the one that imprisoned the Gray Gentleman's consciousness."

"Reason."

To this question, the Moon Witch did not answer immediately. A few seconds later, she said with a half-smile: "The Gray Gentleman's ability is to plunder the wealth of those branded with the 'Puppet Mark.' Hao Tao's is to seize the power of those planted with the 'Devour Mark.' Don't you feel that the abilities of these two people are actually very similar?"
