Acting Alone

"Could the Heavenly Hound—Cerberus—also be on this island?"

The commotion caused by the Heavenly Hound drew the attention of many outsiders, natives, and even some evil spirits on the island. The four people from Huaxia Country waiting on the hill were among the first to notice the Heavenly Hound's unrest. Everyone had heard of its notorious name, and upon analyzing the current situation, things had become extremely dire.

"The Heavenly Hound was one of the first to follow the Faceless One. If it has appeared on the island, it likely means that four of the Five Nightmares are standing on the same side. Our chances of victory have dropped another level. That was probably a confrontation between the Heavenly Hound and some country's jailer or cultivator. The outcome cannot be guessed, but a supreme lifeform like the Heavenly Hound is absolutely incapable of dying."

Yuan Yue had once been a cultivator. There were detailed records of the Heavenly Hound in her sect's library, so she understood the situation fairly well.

"We can report the Heavenly Hound's situation to headquarters later. Right now, the most important matter is Gu Chen and Zhu Huan. Ever since the two of them entered the central building, their auras have vanished completely. What do you make of this?"

Zhao Mu shifted the focus back to their current predicament.

"The sucker has stopped producing babies. Clearly, Gu Chen and Zhu Huan have tied it down. I can annihilate every abnormal entity in the entire city within three seconds. The Heavenly Hound's actions have drawn most of the attention. We can move as a team and completely annihilate this evil spirit."

After Jin Geng finished his simple analysis and Yuan Yue approved it, a bolt of lightning shot from the hillside into the area below.
