Chapter 614

He knew the Red Dragon was merely testing him; if it had truly possessed any evidence, he would already have been torn to shreds.

As for sending someone to search the memory storage unit—

Lawsen had long ago set up a self-destruct protocol; under such circumstances, he would reveal nothing.

Seeing the cyborg in his claw display an innocent expression, Ma Zires let out a cold snort, then turned his gaze toward the succubus nearby, who was doing her best to shrink her presence.

Just as he was about to repeat his old trick, a sigh suddenly reached everyone's ears: "Ah, Lord Ma Zires, why torment these weaklings?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lawsen's eyes flew wide open.

This is

That 【Star Stele】?!"

But wasn't she developing the world for the corporation?! Why was she here?!

Before Lawsen could react, a young man with a gloomy face had already appeared before Ma Zires.

At this moment, the Red Dragon stared at the sudden figure before him and muttered lowly: "You… don't think a bit of luck lets you stand on equal footing with us."

"Luck?" The figure sighed. "So that's how you see it. But I'd rather have no such luck."

With those words, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.

Fortunately, someone spoke up in time to ease the tension: "Oh my, let's talk reasonably."

"Otherwise, come to my place for a proper reception."

It was 【Lord of Feasts】 Lilith.

Since the 【Price Desire Corporation】 was also entangled in this matter, she naturally couldn't stand idly by.

…

". Just say you want it, and we'll do it."

"After all, our creed is"

"Debts must be repaid."

In the center of a slightly dilapidated village, a male figure with a grotesque face and a third eye on his forehead silently watched the girl bound to a half-stump beneath him with his blood-red eyes, unreadable in emotion.

He waited for her answer.

At this moment, two figures—a large one and a small one—were still bound to the half-stump.

Upon hearing the three-eyed figure's words, the two beside the girl wore expressions of deep complexity.

Nearby, a crowd of terrified villagers had gathered.

After a brief silence, the girl opened her eyes, a faint deathly resolve crossing her face.

Just as she was about to speak the word, a flash of Bai Guang suddenly drew everyone's attention.

The three-eyed figure watched the tall silhouette flickering within the Bai Guang and silently raised his guard.

'. A Seeker of the Dao? Did he sense my presence?'

'Ah, I really shouldn't have appeared—but what can I do? I must repay my debt.'

Unable to suppress a sigh within his mind, he rose from the stump and tightened his grip on the blade in his hand.

But before the three-eyed figure could act, an aura of chilling dread suddenly surged from nowhere.

The next instant, countless lightning bolts split the void.

And their target—

Was naturally the "Seeker of the Dao" within the Bai Guang.

Watching the wisps of black smoke drift away on the wind across the open ground, the three-eyed figure fell silent.

After a while, he muttered, bewildered: "Is this some kind of joke?"

Due to his limited strength and vision, he naturally had no concept of "Cause-and-Effect Punishment," nor did he understand what just happened.

But his ignorance didn't mean others didn't know.

For instance, a certain small green blob lurking in the shadows, and a certain Immortal Lord evaluating disciples.

Where no one else could see, a tiny green blob shaped like a little person stared at the charred ground: ". Cause-and-Effect Punishment?!"

"How is that possible?!"

If he remembered correctly, he had never encountered such a thing in his own past.

And to draw a Cause-and-Effect Punishment of this magnitude—what exactly was that figure in the Bai Guang planning to do?!

"Could it be those dogged lackeys of the Ten Thousand Karmas? Trying to eliminate me before I've even grown?"

Thinking of this, the green blob wobbled slightly, clearly puzzled.

Those Ten Thousand Karmas lackeys might indeed do such a thing—but this method was far too crude.

To appear so blatantly in witnessed history—is he trying to provoke even harsher Cause-and-Effect Punishment?

As the green blob pondered this, he suddenly noticed a slight discrepancy in his memory.

It seemed… he had indeed encountered this before.

". Strange. Did I misremember?"

As the green blob struggled to understand, a young man was silently observing the scene through a talisman tablet.

Recalling the Cause-and-Effect Punishment that had even startled him secretly, the young man frowned slightly: "Is someone trying to interfere with Hui Zai's past?"

As if recalling something, his expression grew colder.

The heir of the Same-Month Seal has appeared again after so long—he cannot be destroyed by those vermin.

Thinking this, the young man flicked his finger, and several talismans flew from his sleeve toward a certain location.

After completing this, he spoke to the boy in the tablet's image: "Hui Zai, I've left some talismans in—"

Hearing the voice in his ear, the boy bound to the stump perked up instantly.

Could Immortal Lord Jiang Mingzi, the Great Ancestor of the Turtle Immortal Sect, have had a change of heart and realized this torment was too much?!

After that little interruption just now, the atmosphere in the village eased somewhat.

Unfortunately, Three Eyes still remembered exactly why he had come.

He looked at the girl tied to the wooden stake and asked once more the question from before: "Want revenge? Descendant of White."

"."

Hearing this, the girl lowered her eyelids slightly.

After a brief silence, she prepared to utter the word that the Zhuding Society would lead her to death.

But just then, a slightly weak voice suddenly rang out in her heart.

"Don't agree to him."

It was Li Ang.

He hadn't expected the 【Traveler】 talent to have sent him directly to this point in time.

One had to know that what happened in White Family Village had an indelible influence on that Lawless Extreme Law Demon Lord — it could even be called the very point in time when the other party was first born.

Therefore, an outsider like him, simply by appearing before the other party, drew down an extremely terrifying punishment of the law of cause and effect.

Fortunately he had 【Eternal Recurrence · Remnant】, otherwise he would probably have been done for on the spot.

But after what had just happened, Li Ang realized that if he wanted to do anything in this world, in the short term he could only have his subordinates do it for him.

Unfortunately, right now the only one present who was suitable was the girl — after all, she had the qualifications of a seeker of the Dao, and the karmic ties on her were not so great that he couldn't bear them.

At this moment, upon hearing that voice in her heart, the girl's movements couldn't help but pause.

But in the end, she still softly uttered that word.

"Yes."
