Several days have passed in the blink of an eye...
The air was thick with the lingering smell of gunpowder from the recent war, and the Evil Cult had been quelled by the executives using some unknown means.
Large numbers of criminals have returned to the City of Sin.
The Seven Sins are now a thing of the past.
The entire city is now under Qin Jiao's control.
As for those families, they were all severely weakened in this War of Kings, but at least they have quieted down.
Under dim lighting.
Newspapers were scattered on the table.
Su Xian shook her head, saying helplessly, "No, Mu Hen has completely severed contact."
"We can't get in touch with Uncle Mu either. To leave Sinful City now, we need to avoid the Heavenly Eye System, and given the current situation outside, we might not even be able to safely return to the mainland."
"Then what do we do?" Su Zhe asked seriously. Their situation was terrible. Although they were innocent, as Uncle Mu had said, unregistered residents were not allowed to live in this city.
They are even worse off than criminals, who at least have an identity, but they have no identity and can't even buy food or water.
Fortunately, Su Xian's magic allows her to conjure food and water at any time; their current problem is leaving Sinful City.
Now, Li Chen can no longer take it with him.
They couldn't stay on the border forever; there were still many things to deal with inland.
They were once free and unrestrained, but now they are bound by many shackles and have no choice but to do certain things.
Su Xian narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering a solution.
Sinful City has been quiet for the past two days.
However, the invasion of the Evil Cult indicates that another round of war will inevitably break out at this juncture sooner or later, and their only option to leave now is to wait for the Evil Cult to make its move.
The rules are different at the border and inland. Neither the Special Affairs Bureau nor other forces, whose majority of personnel are inland, care about the lives of people on the border.
It's as if the border region is unconditionally working for the inland areas.
The Strange Pavilion is the only link between the two sides.
But as time has passed, this bond is no longer as useful as it once was, and the interior has been invaded by Eerie Monsters.
Otherwise, Su Zhe would have already used his current identity to pressure them to leave.
Su Xian murmured, "What to do... what should I do?"
After Mu Hen left, they could no longer contact Uncle Mu, and they had no idea what had happened that night.
Now that he has failed to seize the throne and has no backing in this city, his situation is just like when Li Chen first woke up—helpless and alone, he can only rely on his own methods to face everything.
But they weren't as ruthless as Li Chen. Sinful City was mostly populated by criminals, so they didn't have many options. There was only one way to get out.
That is to ascend the throne.
Although the Seven Sins did indeed fall apart, the real power on the throne remained.
There was just one more person in charge; Su Xian had already found out about these things.
After pondering for more than ten minutes, Su Xian walked to the window, her eyes gleaming with blue light, and murmured, "It seems I still have to fight for the throne... But I'm tired of having the strength to be locked in a cage, with a dog guarding the outside. To step forward or not to step forward, the answer has already been revealed."
"In the end, it's just a border. All rules are meant to be broken, so what's the use of power? They're just constraints on the weak. I'll help you one last time before I leave."
Rose Garden.
Three figures arrived at this place.
Behind Li Chen stood Zai and Yu. The two, one human and one ghost, arrived at this place, but the huge throne entwined with vines and roses did not attract their attention at all.
Before them stood rows and rows of God-Slaying Cult, their filthy eyes fixed on them, a mixture of fear, confusion, helplessness, and excitement flooding Li Chen's mind.
A white-haired woman with crimson eyes looked at Li Chen from below the throne steps and smiled, "You've come."
Li Chen hummed in agreement.
He knew her identity the moment he saw her.
Even Li Chen was surprised to find that she was actually the Holy Maiden of the God of God-Slaying Cult, and that he knew her, or even was familiar with her.
Cang Yue... that's right, she's the woman I knew before I even awakened. She represented the Imperial Capital in the Academy Tournament. Li Chen never expected her to appear here, especially not in this way.
Cang Yue, with her red lips and exquisite face, long white hair reaching her waist, lay on the steps in front of Li Chen, her snow-white and delicate thighs still visible, though her red dress covered most of her body.
After a few minutes of silence...
Cang Yue broke the silence first, stood up and walked to Li Chen, her fingers skillfully moving slowly towards Li Chen's lips.
Li Chen frowned, immediately took a step back, and said in a somewhat cold tone, "You still look the same..."
"Heh..." Cang Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, not finding it boring at all. On the contrary, she thought this was a normal phenomenon, and smiled, "You too, I never expected that we would meet in this way."
"But it seems you need my help now?"
Li Chen glanced at the surrounding followers of the God-Slaying Cult.
A wisp of Black Mist emanated from his body, isolating everything.
Disaster and desire were also kept outside, leaving only the two of them in their own space.
Li Chen looked at her coldly and said, "Rather than saying I need help, it's more accurate to say that you guided me here."
"Speak, what is your purpose?"
Cang Yue's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Purpose? How about you kiss me, and I'll tell you?"
Li Chen narrowed his eyes, and the Black Mist around him rapidly expanded, as if it were about to devour Cang Yue at any moment. He said in a cold tone, "My patience has its limits."
Even if it means going to war with your God-Slaying Cult War, I am not afraid.
Cang Yue pouted and said, "How boring... Li Chen."
"You're still as cold to me as ever. You should know I love you!"
Hearing her blunt words, Li Chen didn't want to pay any attention.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is, just like a rose with thorns.
Seeing that Li Chen remained unmoved, Cang Yue sighed and snapped her fingers lightly. Instantly, the surrounding Black Mist condensed into a sofa behind her.
The ability to manipulate Black Mist.
Li Chen was somewhat shocked. Could it be that Cang Yue was also capable of manipulating Forbidden?
It's important to understand that the Black Mist cannot be manipulated by controlling energy; it is a power born from Forbidden.
Cang Yue smiled and sat on the Black Mist sofa, stretching her slender legs out onto it. She even patted the empty space next to her, gesturing for Li Chen to sit down.
But this is something that only she can do.
With just a thought, the surrounding Black Mist surged, and in an instant, a strange black throne appeared behind Li Chen.
Negotiations begin...
