The Fog of War is gradually dissipating.
All the severed limbs and fragments of the strange beast were recovered.
Only the devastation and ruins of the factory proved that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Is everyone alright?
Qin Ze ran over from not far away, pretending to be panicked, like a child who had gotten lost from an adult.
Seeing that he was unharmed, I breathed a sigh of Slacking on the Sidelines.
After all, it was he who sent Qin Ze to grind experience points.
Slacking on the Sidelines thought that with a powerful figure protecting him, this operation would be easy, but he never expected a beast tide to break out.
If Qin Ze were to die in the beast tide, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Everything's fine."
Answer by Slacking on the Sidelines.
Passerby A helped the Scholar up.
After taking two healing pills, the Scholar's complexion improved considerably.
Slacking on the Sidelines, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did your ability stop working?"
If teleportation had been truly disabled, Aries and Virgo wouldn't have been able to escape either.
Tonight, Constellations present will be included.
The Scholar explained, "The teleportation Martial Artifact in his possession is of very high quality. As he said, its teleportation rules are above the rules of my ability."
"Perhaps when I break through to the Advanced Martial Artist, I will be able to temporarily suppress that Martial Artifact."
Just as Qin Ze had guessed.
Scholar's Words Become Law are considered law, are not spoken lightly.
The more specific the method, the smaller its scope of influence, the better its effectiveness, and the less it drains the Scholar's energy.
Otherwise, trying to get rich too quickly will backfire like this.
The Scholar said calmly, "Was that Circus just now?"
Slacking on the Sidelines, "They were the ones who fought at the mansion last time."
The Scholar asked in bewilderment, "They always appear at just the right time, as if they're always by our side."
Qin Ze secretly glanced at the Scholar.
He truly deserves to be called one of the smartest people in the group.
Slacking on the Sidelines, saying, "It was just a coincidence."
"If they really wanted to follow us, not only would we, but even Senior Yuan would have noticed, wouldn't he?"
The Scholar murmured to himself, "That's really strange."
The Inspection Team that had been guarding outside the factory came in to clean up the mess.
Apart from the Capricorn's body broken in two, there was nothing else worth cleaning up.
Yao Yuan approached Captain Fang: "How are you feeling?"
Captain Fang said with shame, "I was too arrogant."
"The spores in my body are losing their effectiveness, and I imagine the same is true for everyone else in the city."
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Hold a press conference immediately when we get back."
"You know how to say it, right?"
Captain Fang nodded. "Leave it to me."
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you... know those people from earlier?"
Yao Yuan shook his head.
Captain Fang asked, puzzled, "Then why are you so sure that bringing a few ordinary teams will be enough tonight?"
Tonight's action plan was devised by Yao Yuan.
When Captain Fang learned that there was a high possibility that a Void Beast might be awakened at the scene, he strongly requested that several Advanced Martial Artist be transferred from Penglai City, preferably one Level Nine Martial Artist.
However, Yao Yuan stopped him.
He simply said that even if the Void Beast were awakened, the beast tide wouldn't have much of an impact.
Captain Fang simply dismissed it as arrogance from the Human Race's Number One Sword.
They continued until they saw the Void Beast disappear and all the released alien beasts were retrieved.
Was all of this part of his plan?
Yao Yuan didn't answer, but turned and walked over to Qin Ze and his group. "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
"Go back and get some rest. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me."
Watching Yao Yuan's departing figure, Slacking on the Sidelines around Qin Ze's shoulder and chuckled, "See? You trusted me, didn't you?"
" The Human Race's Number One Sword, that's an immense favor!"
Slacking on the Sidelines suggested celebrating at a tavern, but Qin Ze and the Scholar declined.
The group then parted ways outside the factory and went their separate ways home.
Qin Ze did not return to his residence, but went straight to the Inspection Team.
"Boss."
In an office on the top floor, Qin Ze found Yao Yuan resting with his eyes closed.
What do you want to tell me?
Yao Yuan opened his eyes, his voice revealing exhaustion.
After leaving the factory, Qin Ze contacted Brother Yuanzi using a communication card, and Yuanzi asked him to come to the Inspection Team.
Qin Ze took out the King's Sword from his storage ring. "Boss, this is a gift for you."
Yao Yuan's gaze instantly focused on King's Sword, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"How did you get your hands on the royal King's Sword of the Maka Race?"
Qin Ze gave a thumbs up. "As expected of the boss, you recognized the origin of this sword at a glance."
"The sword was lying on the ground at the time, and since no one wanted it, I just picked it up."
Yao Yuan took the King's Sword from Wang Jian and swung it a few times; it felt very comfortable in his hand.
Qin Ze said, "This sword is said to be the personal sword of the founding emperor of the Maka Empire, containing a portion of his power, but it can only be activated by someone of the Maka Race royal family."
"Although I can't draw upon that power, the sword itself is of very high quality..."
Before Qin Ze could finish speaking, he saw the sword in Yao Yuan's hand unleash a powerful pressure and sword intent.
It was exactly the same as when it was in the hands of the First Prince Xuan Ling.
Qin Ze's eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss, you..."
Yao Yuan flicked his wrist, and the power in the sword vanished.
"So-called bloodline verification is nothing more than a shortcut for future generations to control power."
"If you're strong enough, this kind of lock is useless against you."
Qin Ze gave him a thumbs up again. "You still have to be the boss, you shine brighter than the moon in the night sky!"
Yao Yuan smiled slightly and put away the King's Sword.
"Nice gift, I'll accept it."
Qin Ze asked curiously, "Is the cooperation between the Maka Race and us still going on?"
Yao Yuan nodded. "Cooperation is still possible, but it will have to be done in a different way."
What is your current cultivation level?
Qin Ze didn't hide anything. " Peak of Level Five."
Yao Yuan's expression was calm and composed, as if he had known all along.
" The Wall-Breaking Pill can help with breakthroughs; I wonder if it will be useful to you."
"Use the Advanced Bone-Tempering Liquid, let me know when you've used it up."
Looking at the pills and five bottles of Bone-Tempering Liquid on the table, Qin Ze's feelings were very complicated.
The last person to treat him this well was Qin Yu.
"Thanks, boss."
Qin Ze carefully put away the pills and Bone-Tempering Liquid.
Yao Yuan waved his hand. "Go back and rest. Focus on your cultivation during this time. The Otherworld will open soon. Try to break through to level six when you enter Otherworld."
Qin Ze nodded emphatically, deciding that once he got back, he would have the Body-Tempering Group soak in the Bone-Tempering Liquid for 24 hours a day.
As he reached the door, Yao Yuan suddenly called out to him.
Qin Ze stopped in his tracks. "Boss, is there anything else you need?"
Yao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said something profound.
" Qin Ze, remember this."
"No one will blame the butterfly for not being able to fly across the ocean."
"A total of four bodies."
"One of them belongs to Level Eight Martial Artist; someone will come to collect it tomorrow."
In the morgue on the first floor of the Inspection Team, several Inspection Team arranged the body, had the old man in charge of guarding it sign the papers, and then left.
The old man carefully inspected the body bag, hummed a little tune, walked out of the morgue, and closed the door behind him.
As the lights went out, the morgue fell into a deathly silence.
Hiss--
One of the body bags was suddenly ripped open from the inside, revealing Capricorn's sickly face.
"To gain something, you must lose something else..."
