Chapter 845: My Intel Comes from

That's precisely why.

After Ji Huai became selfish, he shifted his target elsewhere.

In his eyes, Su Yang and Jiang Chengyu are the same.

Both are merely stepping stones.

Now that the plan is exposed, Yue Zhao will certainly not give him a chance to cheat.

The "Weakness" works, but it cannot be used on a mere Projection.

Therefore, he needs to find another way out.

Otherwise, even if he clears the trial, after Yue Zhao gets his wish, he will certainly not let him go!

Ji Huai has prepared multiple plans.

Just waiting for a suitable moment to act.

Just as he was pondering, Yue Zhao's light, floating voice fell beside his ear.

"Lao Ji, do you think I should tell him the truth?"

Hm?

The remark suddenly reached his mouth; he snapped back to his senses and said seriously, "Boss, you needn't hold back, just speak openly."

"Do you also think I should cut off his thoughts?" Yue Zhao said softly.

Ji Huai was startled, though he didn't understand why, he still gave a slight nod.

"We thought alike, truly a brother who has fought side by side with me in life and death," Yue Zhao said, nodding with satisfaction.

He immediately turned his head toward Su Yang, saying meaningfully, "I know the confusion in your heart; you merely killed a few of my unworthy dependents."

"Why must you go to such lengths at any cost?"

"Today I will tell you!"

As he said that, Yue Zhao suddenly struck, piercing a nearby woman's back in one motion, his massive hand tearing through her chest.

A blood‑soaked heart was suddenly exposed.

With a restrained smile, Yue Zhao abruptly crushed the heart!

"Snap!"

When the massive hand withdrew, the woman staggered, then fell to the ground.

It was only a glimpse!

Yue Zhao's hand trembled, and the blood above instantly dripped through his illusory palm onto the ground.

"Did you see? This is the fate of an Old Era Player!"

Su Yang's eyelids twitched slightly; he subconsciously licked his dry lips and asked, "What are you trying to convey?"

Yue Zhao walked slowly forward, saying leisurely, "The Old Era is very complicated, a hundred‑to‑thousand times more complex than you imagine."

"Before the great era and great organizations, you and I are like ants on the ground; even if we happen to be stepped on, we may never know."

"I have lived for several hundred years..."

"That number sounds absurd in any world, yet it is the truth."

"For these past few hundred years, I, like those players, have been waiting for the Golden Throne to appear."

"All preparing for the Great World Struggle."

"But who knows the gap between eras?"

"I have hundreds of dependents under my command, hold a Permanent Seat at Round Table Conference, and am blessed by myriad halos!"

"I should have been the lofty Ascend God Seed, yet when facing players of the Ancient Era, even any one of them possesses far more than I do!"

"Even a single sentence could cause everything I have to turn to ash."

"This is reality, this is the gap!"

"The world outside is far more cruel than you imagine; I have painstakingly amassed this fortune, and for you, I have given it all away."

"Yet before the big figures, I am merely an insignificant piece of a grand map."

"Though small, I have still fought for a sliver of survival."

"To protect myself and my family, I can only fight to the death."

"Otherwise..."

"Once the Golden Road opens, the laggards will inevitably become stepping stones for the pioneers."

Protect the family?

Su Yang sneered inwardly.

Such nonsense might be believed by naive New Era players unfamiliar with the world.

Su Yang had just watched him slaughter his dependents with his eyes wide open.

That brutal process was only to show him his resolve and cruelty.

To draw such a lowly analogy, he somehow managed to think of it.

And also…

Who the hell doesn't know competition is brutal?

Every surviving person of the New Era knows that.

They offer astronomical prices just to snatch his innate talent.

They speak of humanity, but it's all selfish desire driving them.

If he truly held a belief for the world, he would never sacrifice the interests of the vast majority.

A sliver of survival?

Su Yang does not believe such nonsense.

The Golden Road has countless paths, why does he have to take this step?

"And then?" Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids.

"What then?" Yue Zhao asked.

"You killed me, obtained what you wanted, and after that?"

"Naturally, to change one's appearance, then return the favor."

"So… the one who paid a huge Faith Value, supplied Luoshi and Intelligence, is actually the mastermind of the plan?"

"Of course, and you also know that person."

Acquaintance?

Su Yang furrowed his brow, speaking slowly: "I don't know any Old Era Player."

Yue Zhao smiled, "Precisely, you have crossed paths with her."

"Who?"

"Yao Ri!"

Boom!

At that moment, Su Yang's Brain exploded with a boom.

In an instant, a thousand waves rose in his heart.

His first reaction was that Yue Zhao was lying!

"How could Yao Ri possibly give him advice, and how could she let him kill…"

Wait!

Something's off.

Su Yang suddenly recalled that when the Fox first entered the game, the Tiger discovered the Old Era Remnant Faction identity.

And at that time Su Yang still didn't know the Fox was Yue Zhao.

Learning the identity came later.

And at the second Round Table Meeting, Wood Grain was causing trouble with deeds similar to the Fox's.

At that moment Yao Ri chose to intervene, stop it, and inform him about herself.

Including the mystery of her lineage.

Analyzing the timeline, this is indeed suspicious.

The Fox's clean escape directly contradicts the Observer's duties!

Now hearing the words Yao Ri from Yue Zhao's mouth, how could Su Yang not be shocked?

Even if it's a fabrication, why was Yao Ri specifically chosen?

How does he also know Yao Ri is an Old Era Player?

And moreover…

Those who know his Innate Talent seem to be only three people in the world.

If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental.

After all, people cannot fabricate things beyond Cognition.

But if it's true…

Then what is Sister Yao Ri's purpose in doing this?

Collect Yue Zhao's "money", and guide him through the maze.

The object of greed is him?

Thinking this far, Su Yang instantly felt bewildered.

Yue Zhao, seeing this, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Looting is indeed a privilege of the New Era."

"But you, Su Yang—are an exception!"

"You are a walking Treasure, I think of you day and night, wishing I could swallow you whole at once."

"If I become you, I will inherit a great responsibility and become a pioneer of the New Era."

"Don't doubt it, everything I say is true!"

"Those who claim Old Era looting is useless are treacherous and deceitful scoundrels."

"Especially the people who are incited, they are doubly foolish!"

"What do you think?"

Su Yang's brow tightened.

Ji Huai's expression turned sour.

Yue Zhao's words not only addressed Su Yang, but also subtly scolded him.

"Could it be that Su Qi's words are false?"

"Or perhaps…"

"She's hiding something?!"
