We sort of did a trade. I had actually returned to my country but, due to some personal reasons, I had to get involved again, which is why I came back. By the way, Jester doesn’t know who I exactly am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Serlina nodded and mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m still somewhat confused, but I somewhat understand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, her expression became peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the matter that was exposed online today was all your doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing laughed ambiguously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Serlina may seem a bit confused, it was mostly due to her severe nearsightedness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she was quite intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Jing’s intriguing smile, she shook her head helplessly and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the Guardian God Jester told me to carefully observe your every action when he sent me here.

I attended his classes during my student years, and we had mostly lost contact. After leaving the College of War Magic, he became the head of Sky Shield Bureau and later the Guardian God of White Hawk; a high ranking position that someone like me who was just a poor student couldn’t hope to reach, even now as a professor at the College.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she bit her lip lightly and started fiddling with her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am here only because he has offered a large sum of money, otherwise I wouldn’t be involved in such a mess. The friction between the two Guardian Gods has already gone public on the internet; only a fool would get involved if the price isn’t right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina was really frank and genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paid in full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To get Serlina to come, Jester must have really ponied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an unofficial member, not only does Serlina possess formidable abilities, but she also possesses a unique spiritual world. The hiring fee couldn’t be anything less than substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving her combat ability aside, her delicate spiritual world alone warrants a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Jester can find Bei Yi and Evlyn before the other Guardian God is crucial to his plan at the moment. He has no time to contemplate the cost, and has to offer Serlina an irresistible price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing took a deep breath and then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we are teaming up, many things will be easier. I would ask you to keep my identity a secret. It’s quite a big deal and you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Serlina interrupted with an odd grunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I am clueless or what? I know what’s important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, she coughed once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time, it was my fault, but I explained to you, it was because of our different standpoints. As a White Hawk citizen, it is my responsibility and duty to offer relevant information. The information I provided was not about you, but the Ghost Clan. This time, it’s different. On one hand, I am just doing a paid job, on the other hand, the internal conflict within White Hawk’s top rank has nothing to do with you. As long as you do not secretly fan the flames and try to disrupt White Hawk, I will not divulge unnecessary information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He anticipated Serlina’s attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he saw it coming, he chose to be upfront during their meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mentioned it mainly as a precaution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it much thought, Li Jing straightened his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we discuss the main event now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina responded, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The artificial humans with Artificial Intelligence extracted from the Desert Fortress are now lurking in a war-torn region beyond the borders of White Hawk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Yi and Evlyn are no longer within White Hawk’s territory?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is not quite what he had suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did they stay near White Hawk after escaping?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if understanding Li Jing’s doubts, Serlina sighed and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is not as simple as it appears. There’s a darker undercurrent hiding behind it, which goes far beyond our understanding. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, and I have no interest in figuring it out. All I know is that the upper echelons of White Hawk are already rotten to the core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, Li Jing furrowed his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not surprising that Serlina has such an opinion about the White Hawk’s upper echelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she has always had a low opinion of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as a citizen of White Hawk, she wouldn’t abandon her homeland just because she dislikes the top brass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mentioning that there is a plot behind this incident, is something that Li Jing cannot ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This issue, was already troublesome enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now it has become even more complicated...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Bei Yi and Evlyn could escape from the border implies that they must have reached an agreement with a certain faction or individual at the official level in White Hawk and received their assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there’s no way these openly exposed artificial humans could have escaped from White Hawk amid such tight security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could escape that easily, could White Hawk still be considered a superpower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly assisted the two of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other countries, Li Jing might suspect the third Guardian God of White Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in White Hawk, it’s not necessarily the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are countless factions within White Hawk, and many external enemies. God knows who is pulling the strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that is clear at this moment is,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever dares to conspire with the two guardians must have incredible confidence and immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding his forehead, Li Jing asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"White Hawk has three war zones that are constantly in conflict along its borders. Which specific war zone are they hiding in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inova, the most troublesome one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seems like the Blue Star is in a peaceful era, that’s just the superficial appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are countless war zones across the Blue Star, where numerous forces and private militias are constantly at war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three war zones adjacent to White Hawk all have intricate connections with White Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that these three war zones were deliberately created by White Hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Serlina said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inova is the most troublesome among the three war zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This war zone involves a complex network of forces, with a powerful local group called \"Sanctuary\" in control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knows where the \"Sanctuary\" originated from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that the world knows is that the Sanctuary is comprised of cultivators of a faith system that worship the New God, and that they treat all other faith system cultivators as enemies, including but not limited to the Supreme Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Supreme Church is not benevolent, they are nothing compared to Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sanctuary does not tolerate the existence of any non-Sanctuary faith system on the land of Inova. Once discovered, they launch an attack as a group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of Sanctuary are exceptionally strong and unafraid of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Church, which endured inhumane treatment of its believers on the land of Inova, sent its Temple Knights Army to invade Inova six times, but each expedition ended in defeat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faith system that has grown from scratch and managed to repel the Supreme Church, which has believers spread all over the Western World, for six times, demonstrates their formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inova is simply controlled by Sanctuary, not entirely ruled by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one power truly dominated, Inova would not have been a war zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other local forces besides Sanctuary are also quite powerful; it’s just that Sanctuary is the most influential one in Inova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cursed place is known as the most complicated war zone in the world. Even the artificially constructed White Hawk struggles to contain the constant disturbances on its border there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they forcibly intervene, the losses will be enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one crucial thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the cultivators in Inova are above the Second Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to constant wars over the years, civilians who could run away did so long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason why it can still exist is because unsavoury characters from all over the world who could not stay in their home countries continuously improve their forces, further enhancing local forces including Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a realm that is populated entirely by mid-to-high level cultivators, even if the population is small, it’s quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that Bei Yi, Evlyn, and their backers behind the scenes do know how to pick locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his temples, Li Jing asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many groups has Jester deployed apart from us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As far as I know, there are five groups.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The actual number is definitely more than that since I know that these five groups all have cultivation levels of the Six Realm. Let’s not even talk about Bei Yi and Evlyn possessing artificial human bodies of the Seventh Realm, with just the Six Realm, they can’t do whatever they want in a place like Inova. Including us, these six groups can’t be considered as the main force. The real main force is hiding in the dark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying so, she continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, the other guardian has also sent people there. I can’t say how many people there are, but there must be those of the Seventh Realm, and there’s more than one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing didn’t speak, he remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not surprising that both Jester and the other Guardian of White Hawk have deployed Seventh Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What deserves consideration is,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the conflict involving Seventh Realm cultivators occurs in a warzone outside White Hawk territory and not within any country, what will be the aftermath?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restraint, is it even possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water is deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Li Jing sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue with Bei Yi and Evlyn was no longer merely about artificial humans; someone was behind the scenes stirring things up for a certain purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two almost completely opposed factions of White Hawk People went to Inova, and with Six Realm and Seventh Realm there, an internal conflict could easily break out between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that Jester had brought Serlina to him and had saddled him with the task, Li Jing felt it necessary to negotiate a price afterwards, to bleed him dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head to dismiss his thoughts, Li Jing stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough chatter, let’s get moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have matters to deal with at home, let’s try to resolve the problem as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina initially had a laissez-faire attitude towards problem-solving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took into consideration everything Li Jing thought of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complexity of the situation had long gone beyond the issue of Bei Yi and Evlyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was going on behind the scenes, only God knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came, Jester had explained that one of her teammates was a Seventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this couldn’t be relied upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, knowing her teammate was Li Jing, she had high hopes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jester’s money, was not easy to earn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to produce \"results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Li Jing as her support, wouldn’t she hold on tightly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not know Li Jing’s abilities, but she was very clear on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in response to someone’s words, Serlina stood up and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The journey from Wesbayl city to Inova is extremely long. I have a temporary permit from Sky Shield Bureau to fly in White Hawk territory. It’s not proper for you to hold it in case Jester finds out.

Compared to the vast Chongyuan Holy Realm, this place is only the size of a sesame seed. It won’t take you long to scan it with your Spiritual World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he took hold of Serlina’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina, suddenly embraced, stiffened and frowned at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve had contact with both Bei Yi and Evlyn, and even had a collision with the artificial human controlled by Bei Yi. Bei Yi might recognize my energy. If I don’t conceal it at all, we might be found by them before we find them. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Serlina blinked and nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a western woman, she isn’t overly conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sliding further into Li Jing’s embrace and attempting to adjust her position, Serlina clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a princess carry, I can’t meditate in this position, I need a stable posture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded at her words, lifted her delicate legs, and cradled her horizontally in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been accorded a princess-style carry, Serlina reached out to wrap her arms around Li Jing’s neck and smiled playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your technique is quite professional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, dumbfounded, responded helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tease, we’re on a mission. Focus on meditation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina agreed, and reclining further into Li Jing’s arms, closed her eyes without worrying about the close proximity of Li Jing’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What needs to be explained here is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina wasn’t really not caring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was more liberal, yes, but that didn’t mean close contact didn’t make her shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she had a \"privilege\" that others didn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even close up, she couldn’t see clearly what Li Jing looked like without her glasses on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not being able to see clearly naturally relieved her pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing her eyes, Serlina quickly entered a meditative state, her words barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to her words, Li Jing made a movement, and holding her, transformed into a bolt of lightning shooting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they set off, Li Jing found a peculiar sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to Serlina being brought along with him like a lightning bolt, the Silent Shadow began to take effect on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery took him a bit aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never thought that his Silent Shadow could affect others in this way. This is something he could use in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Silent Shadow’s cover, Li Jing let loose any inhibition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sought out, specifically only for Bei Yi and Evlyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although both of them were in the Seventh Realm, they were nowhere near having a Primordial Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others in Seventh Realm, who might not be affected by the Silent Shadow, Li Jing simply didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was happening on Inova’s turf, not the White Hawk’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to facilitate Serlina’s perception using the Spiritual World, he still kept his speed within the Six Realm range, to prevent any mistakes due to excessive speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approximately after five minutes, they had traversed across half of Inova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to continue, Serlina’s voice resounded beside his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing felt a jolt of excitement at this sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding it so effortlessly was beyond his expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina’s Spiritual World was indeed incredibly useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to inquire, Serlina’s voice echoed once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no doubt that it’s him. In my Spiritual World, artificial humans and humans are no different, but the key is the chips inside them. We might be into some trouble, let’s find somewhere to stop first, and do not approach the east side rashly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded, choosing a concealed refuge nearby to land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they descended, they revealed their physical forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the refuge, there were more than a dozen cultivators dressed in peculiar attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the effect of the Silent Shadow, Li Jing was able to reveal his shape without them noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Serlina, who was now freed from the state of lightning in his arms, could easily be spotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of over a dozen people, focused on them immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Jing did not hesitate and used the Spirit God Whisper to immobilize everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were not very powerful, basically at the Third or Fourth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experiencing the impact of the Spirit God Whisper, over a dozen of them fainted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serlina, having made a discovery, had already exited her meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the sudden sight of this scene, she gave Li Jing a surprised look, but could not discern the secret and chose to relinquish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the dozen or so witnesses neutralized, Li Jing turned his attention back to Serlina and inquired,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a bit complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina responded, her lips slightly parting to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are not just two artificial humans, but almost a hundred of them. They seem to be hidden in a facility resembling an air-raid shelter underground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Li Jing’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred artificial humans!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My goodness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could fish out a lot of experience from this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could celebrate, Serlina continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In addition to that, there are at least a thousand human practitioners with them, and people on the surface as well. According to my observation from the Spiritual World, it seems like a Faith System. That place seems to be a stronghold of the Sanctuary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sanctuary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing paused, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred artificial humans were one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still didn’t have enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this also involved the Sanctuary’s stronghold...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he just go ahead and kill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t benefit much from that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were numerous Sanctuary followers in Inova, all with considerable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fanatics who believed in the New God were not only extremely united, but also fearless in the face of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he poked this spot, the rest will undoubtedly explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s worse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sanctuary had powerful practitioners in the Seventh Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just among those known to the outside world, there were as many as five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because they had so many Seventh Realm possessors that they could exert such dominance here in Inova, as to withstand the Supreme Church’s Temple Knights Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite a predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Bei Yi and Evlyn get involved with the Sanctuary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing felt a pang of annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he remembered that Evlyn had been active in the outside world for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, by listening to Serlina, he concluded that someone was covertly aiding Bei Yi and Evlyn. He had no clue about this power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed, this force was linked to the well-established outsider Evlyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one assisting the two of them couldn’t possibly be the Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Sanctuary was dominant, they couldn’t monopolize Inova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hands couldn’t stretch to White Hawk’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This force was tied with the Sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Bei Yi and Evlyn enjoy the Sanctuary’s cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the question arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the purpose of the force helping the two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had an inkling that a massive conspiracy was gradually revealing itself.\u003C\u002Fp>",3836,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.217Z",1,"novelbin.me","08c27b6222040d1bfcd6cc552dd4e123435bc63e90d8c5d0f8825b1665767a03","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-319","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-317",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
