Making a Move! (Seeking reads, seeking collection)

Finally, after Lingling indicated that everything was left to her, Lan Yu returned to his apartment with peace of mind.

"Lan Yu, Lan Yu, this assessment allows for teams, so why don't you join our beautiful girl group? With me as the brains, plus Sister Mu who is both wise and courageous, and you as a defensive mage, if we pull in two people with super control, we will definitely be invincible!"

Ai Tutu couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up. She jumped in front of Lan Yu, and that pair of jade rabbits made him dizzy.

"Miss Ai, although I am very tempted by your proposal, daga, kotowaru!" Lan Yu rejected Ai Tutu's proposal without hesitation.

He had originally planned to use the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to break through to the High Level in the Three-Step Tower; how could he let others see that?

"You want to be a lone wolf? Oh my, why are you like this? I invited you so sincerely, and you don't even appreciate it. It's really making me mad!" Ai Tutu was somewhat exasperated.

Lan Yu waved his hand and said, "Next time, next time, Ciao~"

As his voice fell, he stepped into his slippers and went upstairs.

Night fell, and the neon lights of the high-rise buildings were reflected in the river water. As the water flowed, they looked like colorful ribbons glowing in the dark night.

A stench of excrement flashed across the riverbank, instantly ruining this beautiful night scene completely.

Immediately following, a group of black, deformed shadows scurried past from both sides; that odor was exactly what was emanating from them.

Five figures draped in grey robes were behind them, occasionally issuing stern rebukes as if they were driving a group of beasts.

Their destination was an old beef processing plant, where they were to set a trap and wait for the target.

"Grey Four, you stay outside. Notify us the moment the target appears," the leader said.

"Understood." The one called Grey Four remained outside and concealed himself.

The others entered the old processing plant, which reeked of rotting meat.

However, for them, this smell was nothing at all.

"Remember, the target must be captured alive, and there can be no failure, otherwise you know the consequences!" The leading Grey One pointed at the Black Beast Demons crawling on the ground, implying something.

The other three glanced at the Black Beast Demons and couldn't help but shudder.

Outside the factory, a man in a purple jacket and a woman with a high ponytail approached.

"Zhang Lulu, you stay here, I'll go in and take a look," the man said to the woman beside him.

"Don't go in... Xu Zhaoting, why do you want to follow these people? And what are those half-human, half-ghost things?" The girl with the high ponytail looked worried.

At the playground, Xu Zhaoting had suddenly acted like a different person, insisting on following that student.

Zhang Lulu didn't understand what had happened and could only accompany Xu Zhaoting here.

"Don't ask, just stay here. If I don't come out within ten minutes, leave immediately!" Xu Zhaoting instructed with a serious expression.

Originally, the two of them were looking for clues about the Shadow Beast, but when they gathered with their teammates at the playground, Xu Zhaoting smelled a scent that he would never forget in his life.

During the Bo City disaster, that exact scent had emanated from the Black Beast Demons!

Xu Zhaoting hoped his sense of smell was wrong, but when he secretly followed that student, he actually discovered Black Beast Demons!

The Black Vatican!

These animals seemed to be plotting something again!

If it weren't for them, Xu Zhaoting would not have been left all alone in his family.

Xu Zhaoting's second awakened element was the Wind Element, which provided him with mobility.

He snuck into the processing plant, leaving Zhang Lulu alone to keep watch outside.

Meanwhile, Lan Yu was on his way, riding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Fortunately, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could fly, and its speed was not slow.

Boom—

Thunder rumbled in the night, and Lan Yu drew closer and closer to the processing plant.

He reached out and gently patted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and it quickly shrank its size to that of an ordinary cat.

After all, the following tracking required a small size for convenience.

Zhang Lulu ran to the entrance of the processing plant and saw four deformed, monkey-faced monsters at a glance, followed by several grey-robed figures.

One of them stepped on the face of the blood-covered Xu Zhaoting and roared in a rage, "Damn bastard, how dare you ruin our big plan!"

"The priest ordered us to take this person away immediately to avoid alerting the enemy," Grey Four said hurriedly.

"I'll take this brat away. You guys kill this woman and clean up the scene as quickly as possible. Don't leave any traces behind!" Grey One ordered.

"Understood!"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Suddenly, a laugh rang out abruptly within the processing plant.

"Who is it?!"

Grey Five scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, but he didn't expect a black shadow to strike from behind him like lightning.

Puchi—

The sound of sharp claws slicing through flesh rang out; Grey Five was truly bold, daring to make a U-turn on the "highway."

With Grey Five dead, the four remaining Black Beast Demon under his command instantly dissolved into foul-smelling, eerie purple liquid.

The expressions of the others changed drastically. To kill Grey Five in a single exchange—who exactly was this newcomer?

Grey One and his companions no longer cared about their mission. The four of them stood back-to-back in a circle, while the remaining dozen or so Black Beast Demon surrounded them for protection.

"Xu Zhaoting... Xu Zhaoting..." Zhang Lulu stumbled toward Xu Zhaoting, her eyes brimming with tears.

"People from the Judgment Court? Damn it, we've been exposed!" Grey One gritted his teeth. "Quick, grab them!"

At Grey One's command, several Black Beast Demon broke away from the formation, extending their deformed arms to reach straight for Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu.

Squelch—

That same black shadow flashed by again. The Black Beast Demon had barely taken two steps before they were decapitated, each one dissolving into foul, eerie liquid.

ROAR—

A sudden tiger's roar erupted, the aura of a Warrior-level beast instantly cowing these pieces of trash.

Momo, don't kill them all. Leave the leader alive; we need him to catch that Blue-Clad behind the scenes. Lan Yu, who had just reached the factory entrance, issued this command to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger through their summoning bond.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't know what a Blue-Clad was, but since its "poop-scooper" said to leave the leader alive, it would comply.

However, these things were too disgusting to even bite; they were nowhere near as good as the magic energy incense provided by its owner.

With that, Momo stepped out from the shadows.

When they saw that their attacker was merely a "black cat," Grey One and his group felt like dying.

Some creatures looked harmless on the surface, but the moment you let your guard down, they would take your life!

This "black cat" before them was no ordinary feline; it was clearly a ferocious beast come to claim their souls!

"Attack! All of you, attack!" Terrified by the aura of the Warrior-level creature, Grey One's legs went weak as he ordered the Black Beast Demon to charge.

The other three also commanded their own Black Beast Demon to swarm the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Retreat!"

Taking advantage of the moment the Black Beast Demon engaged, the four men turned and fled.
