Attacked Again! A Spy from the Sun-Moon Sacred Land!

After leaving the warehouse, Lin Zichen flew straight to his dormitory.

It flies extremely fast.

It made a buzzing sound as it rubbed against the air.

Many people below saw him flying through the air, and they all looked on in disbelief, their understanding of evolution shattered.

Lin Zichen is Pure-Blood Human, not Mechanical Cyborg or Gene Fusionist.

His ability to fly indicates that his mental strength is at least at the Rare Tier.

It's utterly absurd that a 19-year-old Earthling could possess such a high level of mental strength.

About ten seconds later.

Lin Zichen slowly landed on the third floor of the dormitory building and floated in through the side window.

When they entered, Shen Qinghan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, trying to stimulate her Aperture.

The pain from the Aperture stimulation caused her to furrow her brows throughout, occasionally letting out muffled groans, which looked quite uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen did not disturb her. Instead, he sat down to the side, opened the wooden box in his hand, and began to examine the three rare and precious herbs inside with curiosity.

His gaze fell on the Black Phoenix Flower, watching the black flames burning on the petals and feeling the scorching heat emanating from them, a question arose in his mind.

--This Black Phoenix Flower looks like a ball of fire; it looks so hot to the touch from afar. Can you really just pop it into your mouth and eat it?

I feel like my mouth is going to burn.

Thinking it over, Lin Zichen's gaze shifted to the Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit beside him. Looking at the ice flowers that had formed beneath it, a solution came to mind.

Perhaps I could mix the Black Phoenix Flower and the Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit together and eat them, experiencing a sensation of both ice and fire that is neither too hot nor too cold.

The premise is that eating them together will not affect each other's efficacy; otherwise, it's a waste of their benefits.

At this time--

"Call!"

A heavy breath was exhaled.

After Shen Qinghan finished stimulating her Aperture, she slowly opened her crystal-clear peach blossom eyes and exhaled a deep breath.

After catching her breath, she looked at Lin Zichen beside her, her face beaming with joy, and said:

"Lin Zi, Lin Zi, I've successfully opened another Brain Aperture!"

"I felt my brain instantly fill with wisdom."

"Huh, what's in the box?"

As Shen Qinghan spoke, she noticed the wooden box in Lin Zichen's hand and saw the three rare and precious herbs inside. She immediately looked on with curiosity.

Lin Zichen patiently introduced them to her one by one, "This is the Black Phoenix Flower, which can enhance healing abilities; this is the Three-Immortal Qilin Fruit, which can improve blood and qi; and this is the Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit, which can enhance spirit."

Looking at the rare and precious herbs in the box, Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly and said, "The names of these three treasures sound extraordinary, and their appearances are even more remarkable. Consuming them will definitely result in a significant improvement."

"Whether it's big or not, you'll know once you try it."

As Lin Zichen spoke, he took out the Three-Blood Qilin Fruit with blood mist swirling around its surface from the box, easily split it in two, and gave one half to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan didn't stand on ceremony with him, reached out and took half of the Three-Blood Qilin Fruit, felt it for a moment, and then said:

"Lin Zi, this fruit feels warm, like the sensation of pressing your hand firmly against the Pavilion Master's chest. I can clearly feel the surging power of blood and qi within it."

"Eat quickly, the Three-Blood Qilin Fruit loses energy very quickly after it's broken open."

Lin Zichen urged him on, then put the half-eaten fruit in his hand into his mouth and ate it in a few bites, swallowing it whole.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan quickly stuffed the fruit into her small mouth and ate it in small, ladylike bites.

Shortly after eating the fruit, both of them felt warm inside and could clearly feel that the strength of their internal energy and blood had been greatly enhanced.

"The effects of this Three-Blood Qilin Fruit are truly remarkable; I feel as if the strength of my internal energy and blood has broken through."

After carefully sensing it, Shen Qinghan said.

Lin Zichen also sensed it and said calmly, "My blood and qi strength has also broken through, reaching the Advanced eighth rank. As long as my Mental Power increases a bit more, my Biological Rank should be able to evolve to the Advanced eighth rank."

After saying that, he took out the Black Phoenix Flower and the Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit from the wooden box, cut them in half, and handed them to Shen Qinghan, saying, "Eat them together; it should help neutralize the temperature and make it less uncomfortable to eat."

"Um."

Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two of them mixed the Black Phoenix Flower and the Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit together and ate them.

The moment they swallowed it, a stimulating sensation of alternating hot and cold rushed to the top of their heads, causing them to involuntarily tremble and experience a strange pleasure.

[Your Biological Rank has successfully increased from Advanced Tier 7 to Advanced Tier 8]

"Is this already at the Advanced eighth rank?"

Lin Zichen glanced at the notification message, a smile playing on his lips as he murmured to himself, feeling that the evolution had been a little too easy.

In contrast, Shen Qinghan, standing to the side, seemed somewhat disappointed, saying, "Lin Zi, I failed to evolve..."

Lin Zichen gently reassured him, "It's alright. You've already reached the Advanced Tier 6 Great Perfection. It won't be long before you evolve to the Advanced Tier 7, just a few days away."

"Yes, I was a bit too eager for quick success."

As Shen Qinghan spoke, she restlessly stretched her fair little feet onto Lin Zichen's legs and skillfully lifted his clothes, saying, "It's already dark, shall we take some time to deepen our relationship?"

Lin Zichen held her small foot and laughed, "Since you've already put your foot on top of mine, we definitely need to strengthen our bond."

After saying that, the two quickly became entangled in bed, skillfully deepening their feelings for each other.

In the blink of an eye.

The time came to 11:52 pm.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went through ten rounds in a row, pushing the threshold for deepening their relationship to its limit, to the point that they both became somewhat bored.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Zichen got up, dressed, and said to Shen Qinghan:

"When I went to the warehouse to collect my reward during the day, the City Lord's secretary told me that the City Lord wanted to talk to me about something around midnight and asked me to go to the City Lord's office."

"I'm going over there now. If I'm not back by then, you can go to sleep."

"..."

Shen Qinghan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go now."

Lin Zichen kissed her, then without lingering in the dormitory, he turned and flew out the window.

In just a short while.

Lin Zichen then arrived at the City Lord's office.

The office was brightly lit, but Qin Chuan was nowhere to be seen, nor could his presence be sensed.

Yes, there were, but stacks of documents were neatly arranged on the table.

Why is nobody here?

Lin Zichen frowned slightly as he looked at the empty office.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

The instruction to come here to see the City Lord at 12 o'clock wasn't given to me by the City Lord, but by City Lord secretary.

Logically speaking, since the City Lord was present at the time, he could have informed me personally. Why did he go through the trouble of having his secretary notify me?

Something seems off...

Thinking of these doubts, Lin Zichen did not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around and walked outside.

Just then--

"Clatter!"

A crisp snap of fingers rang out.

The moment the sound rang out, the entire office suddenly went dark, to the point where you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

Then, in the next moment, countless mysterious runes flashed in the air, emitting a deep blue light.

These blue lights grew brighter over time, illuminating a tall, elegant figure in a corner of the office.

It's the City Lord's secretary from earlier in the day!

Secretary Guan!

Lin Zichen recognized the figure in the corner of the office at a glance. He instantly tensed up, mobilized all the energy in his body, and prepared to make a move at any moment.

Then, trying to appear as calm as possible, he asked, "Secretary Guan, is the City Lord not here?"

"Not here."

Secretary Guan emerged from the corner, manipulating the runes in the air to make them intertwine and shine brighter, as she said, "The City Lord never stays in his office at night."

Hearing this, Lin Zichen's heart sank to the bottom, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "Secretary Guan, you told me during the day that the City Lord wanted me to come to your office at midnight to discuss something..."

Secretary Guan: "The City Lord didn't ask you to come; it was I who wanted you to come."

Lin Zichen: "Secretary Guan, is there anything you'd like to discuss with me?"

As he said this, he used [Danger Perception] to spy on Secretary Guan's biological information.

However, nothing was found.

This indicates that Secretary Guan's Biological Rank far exceeds his Biological Rank.

This is bad...

Lin Zichen's expression immediately turned serious, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

"I don't have anything to talk to you about."

Secretary Guan struck the runes in the air one by one into the ground, setting up a huge, mysterious magic circle. He continued, "I only want to take you away from here, send you to the Sun-Moon Sacred Land, and offer you as a sacrifice to the great Flower God."

Sun-Moon Sacred Land?

Upon hearing these four words, Lin Zichen's brows furrowed immediately.

He realized something.

The City Lord's secretary in front of me is Human Traitor!

"Originally, I wasn't interested in you at all. I just wanted to quietly be an inside agent, lurking in City No. 1 and waiting for the final battle to break out, to help the Sun-Moon Sacred Land conquer this place."

Secretary Guan remained expressionless and said, "Blame it on your dazzling performance during the day. You're clearly Pure-Blood Human cultivates Body Tempering Method, yet you can control plants and summon Divine Vine. If we can successfully bring you back to the holy land to sacrifice to the Flower God, then losing my identity as an inside agent will be worthwhile."

After hearing these words, Lin Zichen felt like dying.

Every time he tries to gain more evolutionary resources and chooses to expose his strength, he is always targeted and attacked by Human Traitor.

There's a feeling that you reap what you sow.

However, now is not the time to regret your foolish actions.

It's when they're trying to escape.

Once Lin Zichen came to his senses, his blood and energy surged, and he rushed out of the office.

However, when they rushed to the door, they found they couldn't get out.

The office door was firmly blocked by an invisible wall.

Seeing that escape was impossible, Lin Zichen immediately changed his strategy, channeling his internal energy to his throat and shouting towards the outside of the office:

"The City Lord's secretary is Human Traitor!!!"

"She's taking me to the Sun-Moon Sacred Land!!!"

"Help! Someone come quick!!!"

It's shameful for a genius to cry for help, but it's the only way to escape right now.

Unfortunately, no sooner had he shouted Secretary Guan added insult to injury, "The entire office is sealed off. You can't get out, and your voice can't get out either."

As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed the last rune in front of her into the ground.

"Bang!"

A sound like a particle explosion rang out.

The next instant, the mysterious magic circle on the ground suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, a huge flower bud burst forth from the ground, splitting open a gaping maw to swallow Lin Zichen whole.

Lin Zichen did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He immediately unleashed his full power to dodge the flower bud's gaping maw from swallowing him.

At the same time, with a thought, he instantly used [Higher Spirit] and [Lord of the Forest] to reverse the attack of the flower bud's gaping maw controlled by Tian Gang.

Unfortunately, control failed.

The flower bud, which had split open like a gaping maw, was of extremely high status. Lin Zichen, whose Biological Rank was only at the Advanced eighth rank, was simply not qualified to control it.

Just as Lin Zichen was about to be swallowed whole--

"Bass!"

Suddenly, a sound like a string of flames rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Zichen saw the flower bud in front of him instantly burst into flames of purple.

Under the scorching purple flames, the high-ranking flower buds turned into ashes scattered on the ground in the blink of an eye, completely losing their vitality.

Lin Zichen, who witnessed this scene firsthand, widened his eyes in surprise.

What a powerful tactic!

It could instantly burn that flower bud to nothingness!

Who did it?

With this question in mind, Lin Zichen immediately activated all five senses to search for the presence of a third person.

However, no one noticed that he and Secretary Guan were the only ones in the huge office.

However, he saw a hint of fear on Secretary Guan's face.

Secretary Guan seemed to recognize the terrifying purple flames.

"Guan Min, I never imagined you were an inside agent planted by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land. I've watched you grow up."

A deep voice rang out from the office chair.

Lin Zichen quickly looked over upon hearing the sound and saw City Lord Qin Chuan sitting leisurely in his office chair, sipping tea.

"When did you come in?!"

Guan Min looked at Qin Chuan in the office chair, her face full of fear and confusion.

Qin Chuan remained calm and composed, saying, "I've been in the office the whole time; I've never left. It's just that neither of you could sense my presence."

Guan Min, her face deathly pale, pleaded, "Uncle Chuan, could you please spare me, considering our past relationship?"

Qin Chuan replied emotionlessly, "I wish I could, but my hatred for Human Traitor outweighs my feelings for you."

"Uncle Chuan, I'm pregnant with your child! Please, for the sake of the child, spare my life!" Guan Min immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Qin Chuan looked at her lower abdomen, his voice completely calm. "A child that is born is called a child; a child that is not born is called a stillborn."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud "whoosh" was heard.

Suddenly, a large purple flame erupted from Guan Min's body. Before she could even utter a sound, she was reduced to ashes, utterly dead.

Lin Zichen stared blankly at the pile of ashes on the ground.

At that moment, he understood a principle.

Big shots are all ruthless.

Or rather, it's difficult for someone who isn't ruthless to become a great person.

Both Qi Qingmo and Qin Chuan before them fit this description.
