Ke Meng stood by the doorway, with the Big-Faced Cat placed beside the intruder.
The Big-Faced Cat's expression was frozen, its eyes perfectly round. Its body was plump, and its two front paws rested at its chubby waist, holding a pose that would never change.
Ke Meng stared into the Big-Faced Cat's eyes, as did the Sealing Pavilion's artifact spirit.

Fractured Demonic Halberd Possesses extraordinary magical power. Can destroy spatial seals within an area and briefly awaken the baser instincts of intelligent beings within that area. The cost is the sacrifice of life. This item possesses a secretive trait: it is forgotten immediately after being seen.
This was the item the intruder had brought to break the deadlock. Judging by the Big-Faced Cat's description, it should have been capable of attacking the Sealing Pavilion's seals and freeing the bureau's zero-level items, throwing the world into chaos.

It really was a ruthless person's tool. Sacrifice was probably what Shadow Stream Members feared least, since they could leave their original bodies and take new ones.
Then came the main event: information about the Sealing Pavilion.
