Lu Yin remembered him. "The people from Second Grade Hall. Why is he with you?"
"I questioned him. Anfield said he was injured by people from Cosmic Shield. If his beast hadn't been fast, he would already be dead," Tian Ming said.
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. "Cosmic Shield?"
"Yes. Ever since the battle over Huo Star began, Second Grade Hall has occupied the Great Sword Dynasty in the North Palace Territory. Just a few days ago, someone from the Great Sword Dynasty hired Cosmic Shield at great expense to slaughter them all and take back the dynasty. That person's name is Ding Xing," Tian Ming said.
Lu Yin's gaze sharpened. "I understand. Do you know who Cosmic Shield sent to the Great Sword Dynasty?"
"Anfield told us: one Hunting Realm expert, three Cruising Realm experts, and ten Exploration Realm experts," Tian Ming replied.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Could a Hunting Realm expert from Cosmic Shield really have injured Anfield? I want to speak with him."
"I'm... cough, cough... Anfield." A weak voice came through.
Lu Yin asked coldly, "Tell me exactly what happened."
Anfield spoke haltingly. "Cosmic Shield... their Hunting Realm... expert was a master with a power level of 150,000. And... and Cosmic Shield didn't fight us head-on. They poisoned the air and slaughtered us through assassination..."
Anfield didn't say much, and the whole affair had been brief, but what he described conjured a bloody scene in Lu Yin's mind.
Cosmic Shield's people had used the most despicable methods to slaughter all of Second Grade Hall, without the slightest scruple.
If the Inner and Outer Universe hadn't been isolated, if Kadgar, Second Grade Hall's Enlightenment Realm expert, hadn't died, Cosmic Shield would never have dared. Now, Cosmic Shield was acting with increasing impunity.
Anfield was full of resentment
