The Envoy Descends

The moment the werewolf powerhouse fell, the entire battlefield fell into a sudden silence.

"Hmph!" Aliquin gathered the items left behind by the werewolf, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the other bandits as a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"What! That guy Buso, he actually died just like that!" The purple-haired brute among the bandit group felt his pupils shrink instantly upon seeing this scene.

Buso's strength was that of a genuine Six-Star Fiend, and he was particularly skilled in attack and speed; he was not weak even among Six-Star Fiends.

That black-robed guy is truly insidious, the purple-haired brute cursed inwardly. To possess the strength of a Six-Star Fiend yet still resort to sneak attacks and underhanded tricks—how shameless!

The purple-haired brute narrowed his eyes slightly. "This black-robed fiend has formidable strength and a capable pet to boot. I'm afraid this time, I'll have to ask one of the envoys to step in personally."

"I wonder what the true identity of this elven girl is, to be able to attract the attention of the City Lord." The purple-haired brute turned his head to glance at the elven girl surrounded by the crowd. "But since you've been targeted by the City Lord, you can only blame your own bad luck!"

This purple-haired brute was clearly not a true bandit, and even Buso had only been hired by him temporarily.

Because the two were already acquainted and had collaborated many times before, and Buso had made quite a bit of profit following him in the past, he had participated this time without any hesitation. However, if you walk the night path often enough, you are bound to encounter a ghost.

A single capsizing was enough to cost him his life.

"The intelligence on the fiend side has been gathered; it is time to notify the steward." Another divine clone of the purple-haired brute immediately flew toward the steward's residence.

With two divine clones in different locations, the speed of communication was naturally extremely fast.

Even separated by millions of miles, this purple-haired brute, Diersen, could easily and quickly keep track of the situation regarding Luo Ya and the others' metal lifeform.

With the werewolf Buso killed, Aliquin, the Six-Star Fiend, was liberated.

Without Buso's entanglement, Aliquin slaughtered the ordinary Highgod and Midgod bandits as easily as chopping vegetables. In moments, he had shattered the bandits' morale, causing them to flee in terror in all directions. In an instant... there were no bandits left in the vicinity.

"Let's go, we're heading back." Seeing that the bandits had scattered, the surviving fiends began to gather back toward Aliquin, the elven girl, and the others. Within moments, over two hundred fiends had reassembled.

The white-robed steward beside the elven girl spoke loudly to the crowd: "Everyone, I did not expect us to encounter so many bandits this time; I am very sorry. In just a short while, over two hundred fiends have perished. Fortunately, this time we had Mr. Aliquin and Mr. Coradi and the others..."

"Once we arrive at Liulan City, we will provide additional compensation."

After the white-robed old man finished speaking, a golden light shone, and a new metal lifeform appeared in mid-air. However, it was clear... the size of the metal lifeform was one size smaller.

The fiends filed in one after another, entering the metal lifeform.

Soon, the metal lifeform set off once again. These fiends lived lives of licking blood off the edge of a blade. Having cultivated for long ages, these fiends all wanted to live their lives more brilliantly and reach the peak of Hell. Life and death were not so terrifying to them...

They were unwilling to face death, and when irresistible danger arrived, the fiends would flee.

However, when truly facing death, they would not be afraid.

After all, ever since becoming a fiend, every one of them had been prepared!

"That white-robed steward still has a bit of conscience, knowing to add to our compensation," Berik said, shaking his head while holding a glass of fine wine. "But I always feel that our escort mission this time won't be so simple."

Being able to hire a Six-Star Fiend like Aliquin meant the mission would naturally not be easy.

"We're already on board, so thinking about it is useless," Luo Ya said with great open-mindedness. "If we had taken advantage of the chaos to escape earlier, that would be one thing. Now that we've returned to the metal lifeform, if we choose to retreat and leave now... word would get out, and we would lose face."

"You're right. I should have just taken that kid Ludi and fled earlier," Berik nodded in deep agreement.

Perhaps because he was too shocked by the strength Luo Ya had displayed, he had followed him back as if possessed.

"There's no need to worry too much," Luo Ya said, looking at the bright side. "Regardless, even if we encounter enemies, their main target won't be us, but that employer of ours. We just need to try our best to protect ourselves."

Luo Ya had no intention of protecting the employer with his full strength; after all...

His reward was only 800,000 Moshi.

"You're right."

Everyone nodded, then dispersed back to their rooms to begin cultivating. Milia seemed to have fallen into deep cultivation, perhaps because she had witnessed the werewolf powerhouse's final, desperate claw strike.

It looks like Milia has grasped a new profound mystery this time; is it the profound mystery of sound waves? Luo Ya speculated in his heart.

Liulan City, within an independent courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

An old man with a square face and long gray hair received the message from his subordinate, Diersen, and his brows could not help but furrow deeply: "I didn't expect that little girl from the Barnett Clan to have invited such a formidable fiend, and that little golden cat pet likely has the strength of a Six-Star Fiend as well."

The square-faced old man did not consider the possibility of a Seven-Star Fiend.

Because Seven-Star Fiends, as peerless powerhouses with titles, were not short of money, and their fiend rank had already reached the top. They generally did not accept missions.

After a while, a burly youth with a bare upper body and wild hair appeared in the courtyard.

"Mr. Ambrose, the target of this mission is a bit tricky. I'm afraid you will have to go personally..." The square-faced old man immediately told this envoy clearly about the situation of the previous battle.

As one of the four envoys personally recruited by the City Lord, this Ambrose possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Fiend!

With him going personally, wouldn't dealing with two Six-Star Fiends be easy?

"I understand." The burly man had a resolute face, blood-red eyes, and a hideous, terrifying cross-shaped scar carved between his brows. His entire person looked fierce and imposing!

Inside the metal lifeform, another year passed in the blink of an eye.

"So the profound mystery of sound waves within the Laws of Wind is like this. If this method were applied to material attacks, it would definitely be impossible to guard against..." Inside the independent room, Milia was demonstrating sword moves with her long sword.

In just one year, Milia had successfully mastered the entry-level of the 'sound wave' profound mystery. As of now, she had mastered the entry-level of four profound mysteries of the Laws of Wind.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Luo Ya inside the room suddenly opened his eyes.

"Luo Ya, what's wrong?" Milia immediately asked with concern.

Luo Ya looked outside through the window: "It's nothing, just that during my cultivation session, I felt a bit restless." At this moment, the area beneath the metal lifeform was a dense primeval forest, with towering, nameless ancient trees that were frighteningly tall.

Yet the metal lifeform was flying at extreme speed.

"Could it be that we've encountered a powerful enemy again?" Milia looked outside half-jokingly; at this moment, the metal lifeform happened to be passing through the primeval forest region, and ahead lay an inconspicuous little hill.

The moment the metal lifeform reached the hill, the entire metal lifeform suddenly—

"Boom!"

Burst apart!
