A snowstorm raged.

The City of Sin been plunged into long-awaited chaos.

Many people were watching from the shadows.

Located Heaven on Earth.

Across from Lust sat a seductively dressed woman. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Speak, what are your conditions?"

The woman was unfazed by the imposing aura emanating from the Authority Holder before her, and laughed, "Help me deal with Wrath, and I can help you block out Sloth and Gluttony."

"But only if you let me plant the End of the Spirit."

"You understand, my help isn't free, and that Wrath guy might be watching my every move right now."

Lust fell into deep thought.

The woman in front of him simply looked at him with a smile, seemingly in no hurry.

It must be understood that in the outside world, the forces of Lust are currently at war with Pride, a battle of kings against kings, generals against generals. Once Pride makes its move, he will have no choice but to make his move as well.

Considering the limited time available.

Lust looked at the woman and slowly said, "No, the End of the Spirit, let's change the conditions."

The woman's face turned cold, and she said, "Lust. If I don't help you, even if you win this time, you'll still be surrounded and wiped out."

"You are destined to lose this War of Kings."

His Lust eyes remained expressionless, his smile forced and unconvincing.

"Even with the End of the Spirit you planted in you, you still failed, didn't you?"

"You have no right to make demands of me because you're Envy."

"You won't be any better off if I die."

"The entire City of Sin will be completely reshaped, and you will be drawn into this war destined for death."

Envy unleashed a faint spiritual aura from her body, causing the surrounding tables and chairs to float silently. A white flame seemed to appear in her eyes as she said, "Lust, you intend to bring undeserved disaster to the City of Sin."

"When that lord descends the pass, he will see this scene."

"Not only you, but Seven Sins will be erased."

Lust merely chuckled twice, then its expression suddenly twisted into a ferocious grin as it said, "The Seven Sins... Hahaha... Now, sin is the prison that holds me captive."

"I just want to fight for a future for myself, but everyone wants to drag me down into this hell of sin."

"You, you're all blinded by power, too afraid to take another step forward. Greed is the same, and so are you. The Seven Sins... the Blade, are nothing but groveling scoundrels."

Envy scoffed, looking at this utterly unreasonable person, her tone icy. "Aren't you also after this power, this profit?"

What's the point of thinking so highly of yourself?

"You've deceived your own henchmen, so how can you deceive your own conscience?"

"You're all just petty people trying to survive in this chaotic world. With your strength, why don't you dare to help Pass Master Guan guard the pass?"

"Aren't you still scared?"

Lust expression froze for a moment, then gradually returned to normal, his indifferent face as if he hadn't uttered those words at all.

Envy merely sneered and said, "My time is limited, but the conditions remain unchanged."

"Are you going to agree or not?"

At this moment, Lust's lips curled up slightly, and an extremely strange smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, Envy seemed to realize something; its pupils dilated, and the surrounding space began to fluctuate.

A black claw emerged from that space.

Suddenly, it pierced her body, and drops of blood fell to the ground.

With a "bang".

She crashed to the ground.

Envy's face turned deathly pale. Clutching the gaping hole in his chest, he roared, "You're a member of Evil Cult!!"

Lust smiled, lifting her Pride chin with his fingers, and looking into her eyes that seemed to blaze with white flames, he whispered...

"Evil Cults? They're just tools of mine."

"To become the sole Authority Holder, the sole king, in this City of Sin, I must wipe you all out."

"They've already started."

"Even the Pass Master of this Sinful Pass can't protect himself. I've only taken sides early on. You're all just pawns of those terrifying beings, but I'm different. I'm the one who can decide your life and death."

Just then, footsteps approached from the side.

A man dressed in black robes walked over, glanced at the Envy on the ground, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Our God-Slaying Cult has today made a large-scale incursion into the City of Sin and needs your protection."

I hope you won't breach the contract.

Lust stood up and smiled, "Thank you for your help. I certainly won't break the contract."

"Is that esteemed person here as well?"

The man didn't answer, but instead gave him a cold look, the kind of look one gives a corpse, which made even his Lust freeze.

His figure vanished with a spatial fluctuation.

Lust remained silent, his gaze seemingly lost in thought.

The Pride who fell to the side, though his body was pierced, was not dead, after all, he was a Calamity Realm expert.

But her gaze toward Lust grew increasingly hostile.

Lust glanced at her and said indifferently, "You don't need to look at me like that. What I just showed you was what I wanted you to see. I had no choice."

"Now that Evil Cults have invaded this City of Sin, all I want is to survive. I may be evil, but those people are the epitome of evil."

She gave a Pride sneer, not wanting to pay any attention. Her injuries were too severe, and she could only accept her fate.

The howling, cold wind kept blowing.

Having familiarized themselves with the previous operation, the heist was quickly completed this time.

Li Chen sped through the streets on a black motorized motorcycle that Uncle Mu had gotten for him.

He was also on his way to Yanwu Street, wanting to see a play.

After all, it's a war between Lust and Pride.

With a "buzzing" sound.

Suddenly, a dangerous aura rushed in.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and used his ability to create a ramp formed by his power, lifting the motorcycle into the air.

That attack was also dodged.

The attacker was dressed in First Seat black robe and wore black gloves. Most notably, he wore a skeleton mask on his face, and his eyes burned with black flames.

He seemed somewhat surprised and joked, "Interesting, I didn't expect to be dodged like that."

"I thought I was seeing things. I never expected you to be in this city."

Li Chen looked at him coldly, somewhat puzzled. This person clearly Evil Cult.

But City of Sin have Evil Cults.

Moreover, the aura emanating from this person gave him a very familiar feeling.

It seems I've encountered this before, and we've even fought each other.

However, now is not the time to think. The person in front of them clearly knows their identity and wants to eliminate them completely.

With a "buzzing" sound.

In an instant, dozens of light blades shot out rapidly.

They charged at the man.

The man in black robes sneered, "I didn't expect to meet you here again. However, I have no intention of fighting you right now."

Goodbye, Child of Destiny.

He removed his black gloves, and a bright red ring on his snow-white hand bones began to flash red light.

He was instantly teleported away by a magic array.
