Towering fury, chilling killing intent

Lin Yu was undoubtedly stunned to see "Liuli" die in front of him in just a few seconds.

He never imagined that something like this would happen.

"Damn it..."

Lin Yu cursed under his breath.

He instinctively reached into his robes and pulled out the [Ancient Notebook].

Although "Liuli" was beyond saving, Lin Yu knew clearly that her body and soul had been completely destroyed, and that the magic had killed her from the "Life Level," making it impossible for him to save her.

The "belief" I currently hold is insufficient to use any means, such as Reversal, to bring her back to life.

But Lin Yu still subconsciously wanted to use the [Ancient Notebook] to preserve her Soul Fragment and consciousness.

However, during this process, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel somewhat dazed.

"Wait... do I really need to do this?"

Why would I want to save "Liuli"? This guy is a member of the "Marauders," and he's definitely not a good person.

And they weren't very familiar with me...

Was it because I became too immersed in the role of "Yayu" that I was affected by it?

No, that's not right... I'm essentially playing the role of "Schreiber" right now.

Even considering the identity of "Yayu", "Liuli" cannot be considered a "friend", but only an acquaintance.

Moreover, the ambitious "Yayu" wouldn't do such a thing...

Was the problem with his acting skills or his "Character Interpretation"?

Lin Yu's thoughts were in disarray, but he still subconsciously collected a portion of "Liuli's " shattered soul and recorded it.

"Oh right... I did this because 'Liuli' is beneficial to the Yayu, and she understands 'A'yu' and 'The Marauders'... I see, my acting wasn't a problem."

"That's precisely why it's natural that I don't want her to die."

Lin Yu thought to himself, then looked up at Okfielst in front of him.

The other person rubbed their temples. "What a twist of fate. I didn't intend for this girl to die... But, it's almost the same thing; the goal was achieved."

He looked up at Lin Yu, bowed slightly, and said, "See you next time, heir to the Third Pillar."

Okfielst spoke very politely, and Lin Yu frowned.

But before Lin Yu could say anything, he sensed it...

A powerful aura emanated from behind.

"A 'Knight' of 'Order,' is it? You're incredibly audacious—you dare kill someone from our organization right under my nose?"

"You have the aura of Pillar-level Demon from the Abyss? Ha... You think you're invincible just because you're associated with those Demons?"

Lin Yu turned around and saw "Celestial King" floating in mid-air, holding Magic Wand, amidst the torrential rain.

Her magic gathered and condensed at the tip of Magic Wand, forming a small ball of light—but clearly, what she was about to unleash was not a simple Fireball Spell or Illumination Spell.

Lin Yu realized what Okfielst meant by "goal achieved."

The reason for "Liuli's " death, and the cause of her death, was the Abyss magic from Night Valley.

The "Celestial King," who was also proficient in the methods of Night Valley, was not far away and could naturally sense the changes here and rush over quickly.

When she arrived at the scene, she discovered the dead "Liuli," and that the magic remaining on her body was of the same origin as the Magic Flow from the "Knight," and that there was a link caused by their Contract relationship... so she naturally concluded that the "Knight" had killed "Liuli"!

So, it goes without saying what the fiery-tempered Celestial King would do.

"Celestial King," please stop!

Lin Yu turned around, trying to stop the Celestial King.

But it was too late...

The Celestial King unleashed a spell imbued with resolute Killing Intent —a spell of at least the Nine-Ring High-Level!

The blazing white magical ray pierced the Knight's chest precisely, and the magic spread from the wound, rapidly destroying the Knight's life force.

His skin turned gray and dry, and his whole body transformed into something like a weathered Plaster Statue, becoming fragile and on the verge of collapse.

Okfielst's loud laughter rang out from the Knight's body.

"Celestial King... Thank you! Thank you!"

Then, billowing black smoke rose from within the "Knight's" body, and the magic from the Abyss dissipated completely.

After that, his battered, ashen body collapsed to the ground!

The Celestial King frowned. "The Second Pillar? Thank you... What do you mean?"

The Celestial King looked down at Lin Yu: "What did you mean by telling me not to make a move?"

Looking at the dead "Knight," Lin Yu's emotions, which had just calmed down, became somewhat chaotic again.

He suppressed the surging emotions within him and said, "The 'Knight' is possessed by that Demons. The Demons said that if this person of 'Order' dies, the 'Diviner's' plans will be thwarted... His goal is to kill this person; someone commissioned him to do so."

The Celestial King was stunned by Lin Yu's words. "Such a thing exists? This is so chaotic..."

She looked at the corpses on the ground—her gaze shifting from the "Knight's" body to the "Liuli's "—and a headache appeared on her face.

"Go back and find 'A'yu' first, make sure you're safe... I'll tell 'A'yu' and 'Ling Xian' what happened here, 'Ling Xian' should have some clues."

"Since you say the Demons received a commission to scheme against Brother Jing, I need to find a way to contact Brother Jing... Hmm, and I also need to check my surroundings. I haven't sensed any changes after the death of this 'Order' member, but that Pillar-level Demon certainly isn't talking nonsense or spouting off."

The Celestial King landed on the ground, his magic spreading outwards. His brow furrowed, he tried to discern the changes in his surroundings.

Although the Celestial King did not perceive any changes, Lin Yu had already discovered the impact of the "Knight's" death.

Okfielst was certainly not talking nonsense or bluffing.

Because Lin Yu could sense that with the "Knight's" "death," the energy within the Reality Loophole that had just connected with the Knight —the one that Okfielst had exploited to extract Abyss magic for his own use—was becoming increasingly unstable, as if it had lost its balance.

The Celestial King hasn't discovered it yet, simply because this unstable state is still very subtle.

Moreover, this instability appears to be spreading to other nearby vulnerabilities, like some kind of infectious disease.

As for what state the unstable state will eventually evolve into, whether it will make these Temporary Loophole disappear or something else, Lin Yu has no idea.

But he didn't remind the Celestial King; he simply nodded.

"Then I won't linger here any longer... Thank you for saving my life, Celestial King."

Lin Yu glanced at the "Knight's" corpse, then calmly took his leave of the Celestial King.

He turned and left, continuing his journey through the rain.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yu's mind in a short time.

What happened here was indeed too strange and sudden... the pillar Demons that manipulated the "Knight," the "Player" who commissioned the pillar Demons...

It doesn't seem like a "Diviner," nor does it seem like a "Copper Furnace"... so who could it be?

I thought I had found all the "Truth" and figured out all the forces in Shenzhen, but... why is there one more?

"The Celestial King" killed "The Knight," but Lin Yu realized that "The Celestial King" was merely a knife, a murder weapon, and could not be called a "murderer."

The ability to utilize "Tier 4" technology... this is definitely not a simple scheme orchestrated by a minor character.

Perhaps it was made by the "Copper Furnace," or perhaps the "Copper Furnace" itself is divided into factions? Or was it the work of some "expert" who just joined in the fun?

"Pen Name," "Fluoxetine"... or something like "Conception" or "Flower Branch" that I've never encountered before?

The sudden appearance of this loose thread was like a thorn in Lin Yu's side, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even the deaths of "Knight" and "Liuli" were unexpected.

Although these are two people I'm not very familiar with or close to, they are still useful and friendly to me in some way.

"Don't overthink it... Chase after the 'Chancellor' first; he's almost there."

"Furthermore... if this drags on, changes in those 'Reality Loophole' could also disrupt my plans."

Lin Yu composed himself and forced himself to Leng Jing down.

Having already traveled some distance from the Celestial King, he naturally did not heed the Celestial King's advice to return as "Yayu" to find "A'yu" and "Ling Xian".

He changed his appearance and then used the location of the "Chancellor" again through the Mental Power Network.

Lin Yu took a step forward, and a sudden gust of wind lifted his body into the air.

Then, amidst the storm, Lin Yu used his Witchcraft almost without reservation, instantly pushing his speed to its limit.

He moved like lightning through the clouds, rushing towards where the "Chancellor" was.

In just a few minutes, Lin Yu had already approached the "Chancellor's" position—the other party, for the sake of "concealment," did not move too fast.

And his current location...

Near the entrance to the Shenzhen South Cross-Sea Bridge – the Cross-Sea Bridge is closed due to the Typhoon, and heavy construction vehicles with Police Siren blaring and roadblocks flashing their bright red and blue lights in the wind and rain.

This is indeed the safest "Emergency Exit" in Shenzhen right now, the escape route that the "Diviner" and the "Copper Furnace" have reserved for their "own people".

The Chancellor was clearly aware of these points—he moved as quickly as possible while maintaining concealment of his figure and aura.

All you need to do is cross that pass, cross the Cross-Sea Bridge, and leave this place, and you will be... safe.

The "Chancellor" pondered, getting closer and closer to the Red-and-Blue Warning Lights and Police Siren.

Just as he was about to cross the roadblock...

"Boom!"

In that instant, what fell to the ground were not only billions of heavy raindrops, but also a terrifying figure.

The Chancellor's face twisted in disbelief as he stared at the figure who had trampled the Metal Roadblock Sign into a deformed shape, now standing in front of him almost blending into the rain.

"Freedom Alliance... Beast Master!"

Lin Yu raised his head, unsheathing the [White Bone Flowing Light] in his Right Hand and igniting the [Fear Torch] in his left.

"Yes, it's me."

The pale flames ignited the rain.

The blade flashed within the flames, aimed at the Chancellor's head!

The reason for choosing the identity of "Zhu Ming" instead of "Director" or "Schreiber" is because...

Lin Yu had no intention of negotiating or exchanging anything with the "Chancellor".

At this moment, there were no superfluous words...

Only naked Killing Intent!
