The Imperial Capital.
A faint light shone into the dimly lit room, where several people wearing black masks were talking about something.
After a moment of silence...
One of the masked figures took a step forward, and a hoarse voice slowly rang out.
"The appearance of the Child of Destiny heralds the beginning of a chaotic era."
Are we to remain hidden in the shadows?
The masked men exchanged glances, seemingly communicating with each other.
At this moment, another voice spoke up, "We don't really believe that Pandora's Box has found its Child of Destiny."
"After all, it's Forbidden item. The information he brought might be true or false. Besides, those lunatics from the God-Binding Cult are sharing this news so openly; they can't be trusted."
His statement is not entirely without merit.
The conversation fell silent once again.
Click~
The sound of a door opening rang out, and instantly several masked men turned to look, with a dark, oppressive aura emanating from them.
A man walked in with a smile on his face.
Whew~
One of the masked men let out a deep breath; he had indeed been on edge just now. He said coldly, "Blood Charm, this is not the place for you to come in and talk."
"Go out!"
The newcomer was none other than Blood Charm, who had escaped from the God-Binding Cult. He had already changed his appearance and fled to another organization.
Blood Charm, completely unfazed, wearing black gloves, coldly stated, "Your Godless Cult knows this information because I exposed it. Are you going to kill me now?"
"You should know that my joining your Godless Cult will bring you far more benefits than benefits."
"I risked my life to infiltrate the Imperial Capital."
At this moment, one of the masked men sneered and said, "Blood Charm, you're just a stinking rat. You couldn't stay in the God-Binding Cult anymore, so you changed your target and came here to us."
"If it weren't for the cult leader's kindness in taking you in, you'd be waiting to die at the border."
Blood Charm listened to his words, her expression remaining largely unchanged.
He knew that almost every other organization knew about his betrayal of the God-Binding Cult, but he was not wrong.
He just wanted to survive.
"I accept being called a stinking rat, you're right, I'm just a plague escapee, but haven't I provided you with important information?"
"Besides, even the cult leader has agreed to my joining, so don't I have any right to speak with you?"
Blood Charm's expression was very cold as she spoke.
"Heh... The leader has agreed, but we haven't."
"Our Godless Cult will never tolerate a traitor like you who betrays the faith."
"Faith... Haha." Blood Charm suddenly burst into laughter, placing his hand on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that shimmered with blood-red light.
After a brief pause, he withdrew.
They left the Godless Cult community.
Blood Charm stood in the sunlight, gazing at the sky, a light that was half real and half illusory, and murmured...
"Faith, I once had faith, but could faith allow me to survive in this filthy world?"
"My God's gaze has never been upon me; I entrust my hopes to others, but I have more faith in myself."
No one knows the hardships he endured, how many times he narrowly escaped death, how many times he was threatened, how many times he was disliked, but he never complained.
I just kept it silently in my heart.
Blood Charm removed the black gloves she wore, revealing her hand bones, which had long since lost their flesh and blood, gleaming with a white light under the sun.
"A rat?"
"Perhaps..."
The border is located southwest of the Ruined Pass.
Men and women dressed in black robes stared blankly at the technological city.
In front of them stood a man wearing a demon mask and a thin yellow cloak with various patterns on it.
At this moment, one of the men spoke up, "The Lord of the Sect prophesied that the Child of Destiny will soon descend upon this place. Seventh Seat Lord, shall we launch a full-scale attack?"
The man wearing the demon mask shook his head, and a voice that was neither male nor female came out.
"No, we can't afford to make such a basic mistake like that useless Ninth Seat."
"Things are different now than before. New and emerging capabilities are impossible to defend against, especially since this is the border."
"A place where countless powerful humans reside."
"Then... what do we do?" the man asked, somewhat puzzled.
Seventh Seat remained silent, his pale gray eyes fixed on the Ruined City, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long silence...
A gust of yellow sand swept by, and his figure had vanished without a trace.
Only that group of men in black robes remained.
"Sigh... Seventh Seat Lord is really..." The man sighed and looked at the crowd behind him.
Right at the other end.
The battle is nearing its end.
Holding a hammer and covered in black blood, Su Zhe laughed loudly, "Chen-ge, those Eerie Monsters were really weak!!"
"Ha ha."
Li Chen nodded slightly, glanced at the other students who were still fighting, and then looked at Jianping who was resting.
In the battle just now, only Jianping was hit by that monster.
Fortunately, Su Xian's magic provided a buffer; otherwise, Jianping's physical body would have suffered considerable damage.
After all, they didn't have the ability to strengthen their physique like Su Zhe, but the improvement in their cultivation level would still gradually raise their weak physique.
However, Li Chen was somewhat puzzled because, based on the intensity of the aura he observed, the monster he had just encountered should have Looking River Realm.
In other words, that Eerie Monsters should be from the Withered Sea Realm.
This was also the question that puzzled him: why were the Eerie Monsters from the Withered Sea Realm here?
Could it have been assigned by the Instructor Yu?
Li Chen shook his head slightly. It wasn't impossible. After all, it was a training exercise, and they didn't know the details, but Instructor Yu certainly knew what the situation was like here.
But this training has only just begun and an Eerie Monsters at the Withered Sea Realm has already appeared. They're probably in for a tough month ahead.
At this moment, Su Xian walked over, but he looked very pale, and his hands holding the magic book seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Um?"
Su Xian waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, I just used up too much mental energy."
He practically single-handedly took on the entire Purification work for the Special Class, since there was still a long way to go.
These trainees, reeking of blood, boarded the bus; the stench alone would likely make anyone inside faint.
"Rest now," Li Chen nodded and said calmly.
However, this experience should come to an end.
The Special Class is still Special Class after all. The students have great abilities and potential. Dealing with these Eerie Monsters becomes much simpler once you get used to them.
Just like Lin Hua before, he simply nurtured plants and directly strangled an Eerie Monsters.
What puzzled Li Chen was that, amidst the swirling yellow sand, he was actually able to use his abilities to create a plant underground.
