Sun Fei knew what was bothering Lloris. Anyone would have the same expression if they were unjustly accused of being a traitor to humanity after being transformed from a hero.
He didn't ask where Lloris had gone during the afternoon, because it was obvious that the King of Buckingham of the Lyon Empire's first thing upon returning home would be to contact the imperial authorities and convey some crucial information. Unfortunately, it now seemed that Lloris would have no chance of regaining the Lyon Empire's royal family's approval before the truth came out.
" Alexander, you've exposed your whereabouts today?" Lloris suppressed his irritation and couldn't help but complain, "You should already know about D'Alessandro's shameless lies. We're both now unjustly accused and have become enemies of the Human Clan on the continent. The most urgent thing now is to secretly find a way to uncover the truth. Exposing your whereabouts so quickly will attract attention and bring unnecessary trouble. It's really unwise of you."
Sun Fei smiled slightly and said, "I did it on purpose. Revealing my identity appropriately might make some people uneasy and prompt them to take action, which would give us an opportunity."
Lloris opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that what King of Chambord said made some sense.
In the current situation, operating in secret will not yield any results unless they can get D'Alessandro to tell the truth, but that is obviously impossible. Perhaps if their whereabouts are exposed and D'Alessandro learns that they are not dead, they can seize an opportunity in the ensuing chaos.
As the second disciple of Martial Saint Mountain, D'Alessandro holds a high position, possesses exceptional strength, and harbors malicious intentions. Knowing that the two of them are not dead, he will definitely arrange follow-up measures to kill them, silence them, and cover up the truth. However, since King of Chambord could even defeat the evil god of the Sea Clan, Lloris does not need to worry about their safety.
He suddenly thought of something else and asked curiously, "I've heard about what happened on the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]. What? That weapons shop is actually your property?"
Sun Fei nodded calmly.
There's no need to hide this.
The [ Letters and Visits Office ] has countless businesses under its umbrella, not just [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ], and it's not a chain store. It's impossible for others to trace other branches through [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]. Furthermore, after the epic underwater battle, a shrewd person like Lloris has understood what is permissible and what is not. His vision is no longer limited to the struggles between one or two empires, and he wouldn't harm [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]. In fact, he might even have a different idea. For this reason, if Lloris regains power in the future, he might even show more favor to this small weapons shop.
The two then exchanged some information they had gathered during the day, made some plans, and returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Sun Fei and Lloris did not leave Deren City. Instead, they disguised themselves slightly so that ordinary people could not recognize them, and then swaggered around the city for a whole day. Only after nightfall did they return to the inn, eat and drink, and then go back to their rooms to rest.
Thus, Sun Fei and Lloris stayed in Deren City for three days before finally swaggering out of the main gate of Deren City on the morning of the fourth day, heading towards the capital of the Lyon Empire.
To some extent, exposing D'Alessandro's lies and clearing his own name was no longer Sun Fei's primary goal. Finding the strange Golden Skeleton and destroying it was what Sun Fei urgently needed to do.
Recent major events have all indicated that this skeleton possesses the power to unleash raging storms. Whether it's the invasion of the ten great empires or the resurrection of the Sea Clan and evil gods in the Fragrant Sea Region, the shadow of this damned skeleton seems to be behind it all. Sun Fei has a premonition that this Golden Skeleton, which he unintentionally released beneath the [ God and Demon Altar ], is like a damned Key, slowly turning to open Pandora's box. He must destroy this unstable Key before the box is fully opened, otherwise, endless wars will ignite on the continent.
Sun Fei decided to have Lloris take him to the mysterious person who had planted the Blood-Colored Skull inside him.
Not long after leaving the city, Sun Fei sensed that powerful forces were appearing from all directions, tracking and monitoring the two of them.
Heading south, the population gradually thins out.
The two traveled quickly, and to avoid attracting attention, they deliberately chose to travel through remote mountainous areas. As night fell, they arrived at the Lola's Blood Forest in the northern part of the Lyon Empire. When the Demon Moon released silver frost through the dark clouds, the two chose to stop and rest by a snow lake near the foot of the mountain.
Before the two had even finished eating and drinking, more than a dozen powerful auras subtly surrounded them from all directions.
"They've arrived, sixteen Moon Class experts, that's quite Big Hand. Hmm? There seem to be people from the Church among them too. But, it's a pity D'Alessandro didn't come." Sun Fei winked at Lloris.
"What should we do? Should we kill them all?" Lloris frowned, his mood grim. "That doesn't seem like the right thing to do. If we kill too many, even if we prove our innocence, we'll still have countless deadly enemies. Besides, they were kept in the dark; they were pitiful people who were used by D'Alessandro."
"Of course we can't kill them," Sun Fei slowly stood up, smiling broadly. "I'm still counting on them to help us clear our names. At the very least, they can help us give that Lord D'Alessandro a little push!"
Lloris nodded, feeling much relieved.
He rose to fame at a young age, held a high position for a long time, commanded a large army, and had an outstanding record. Moreover, he was extremely strong personally and was not the kind of person who was indecisive or had no opinions of his own. However, in front of Sun Fei, he was always overshadowed. Now, he subconsciously put Sun Fei first in everything.
Just then, a sudden burst of light appeared in the night sky, and dazzling magical flames shot into the sky, eventually merging together. A strange power spread through the air, and a huge, pale milky-white light shield appeared overhead, enveloping Sun Fei and Lloris, along with the surrounding forests, trees, and lakes.
This is an extremely powerful sealing magic circle.
"Hahaha, the magic circle is complete! Everyone, there's no need to worry about this traitorous scoundrel escaping. Let's attack together and kill these two shameless bastards tonight, ridding the Human Clan!"
Amidst a powerful laugh, a fiery red figure emerged first from the dense forest.
Lloris narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was a formidable Moon Class expert, at least at the Half Moon Class level or higher, his killing intent blazing as he coldly stared at the two.
At the same time, figures appeared from all directions—in the trees, in the sky, on the water, and on the Rock. One after another, Moon Class experts with different clothes and appearances, carrying undisguised killing intent, coldly surrounded Sun Fei and Lloris.
"Ha, quite a few people aren't afraid of death. Quite a few have actually come. It's just a pity, they're all a bunch of pathetic worms being used. I wonder how many of them will be able to go back alive?" Sun Fei's gaze swept across each person's face, sharp as a knife, without the slightest sign of tension, he chatted and laughed as if nothing was wrong.
"Pah! Shameless bastards! How did the Human Clan produce two scum like you? Weren't you colluding with the Sea Clan? Heh heh, today I'll chop you into mincemeat and throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" someone glared angrily and cursed.
