"Hehe"
Leo sneered repeatedly at the words of the Level Three Great Wizard. Leo saw through their purpose here and was not intimidated by their claim of Supreme Lord. Their arrogant yet obsequious attitude did not lower his guard.
Leo simply stared coldly at them, remaining silent in the face of the explanation from the Level Three Great Wizard.
Leo's nonchalant attitude, coupled with his cold, unwavering gaze, left the Level Three Great Wizard somewhat bewildered, unsure of his intentions.
They have made it very clear that the tasks here are directly under the Supreme Lord and will not be issued through the Fate Wizard Book.
He just needs to do as instructed, and the task settlement will be based on the highest rules. Why does he seem dissatisfied?
" Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, what is this...?" Unsure of Leo's meaning, they asked directly.
"Besides what you just mentioned, tell me everything else as well, so you won't try to intimidate me with your title of Supreme Lord again."
Leo looked at them with a cold smile, his mocking tone suggesting that he had seen right through them, as if Leo had completely grasped what they were hiding.
But the more Leo acted this way, the more uncertain these Level Three Great Wizard felt. Normally, their previous words would have been enough to scare them away, but Leo remained nonchalant, even knowing that they had hidden information they hadn't revealed.
The Level Three Great Wizard re-examined this Level Four Stigmata Wizard from the neutral faction. No matter how they looked at it, this person seemed to know far too much, which was not how Level Four Stigmata Wizard should behave.
Just like that Boiling Blood Tyrant Body from before, they didn't need to say anything. They just saw the Elemental Guild badge on their chests, asked nothing, and turned to leave.
Why is this person so difficult to deal with? Every word and every glance puts them on the defensive.
"Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'm leaving, but you'll have to bear the consequences of whatever I do."
Leo casually flicked the dust off his Godslaying Wizard Robe.
Seeing that these Level Three Great Wizard still had no intention of speaking, Leo turned and left. He had already made up his mind that after returning, he would take the initiative to launch a war and wipe out all those Lord of Souls and puppet armies. No puppets would be allowed to appear in the Manluo World in the future. Leo couldn't control other worlds, but he still had the ability to do so here.
The Level Three Great Wizard sensed the killing intent emanating from Leo and panicked instantly. They removed the golden barrier that had been blocking their way and stood directly in front of Leo.
They were genuinely afraid that Leo would return and slaughter the entire puppet army, driving away every Lord of Souls, which would completely disrupt their plans.
"Sir, there is indeed one more thing we haven't explained. We'll tell you now."
"Heh, a bunch of short-sighted fools. It's a pity that the Supreme Lord wasted resources to cultivate you to level three. You're trash. Are your eyes on the top of your heads so high that you can't see anything?"
Leo completely disregarded the ugly expressions on the faces of these Level Three Great Wizard and launched into a tirade of insults.
Faced with Leo's humiliation, these Level Three Great Wizard showed no trace of their previous arrogance, allowing Leo to point his finger at them and hurl insults.
Only after Leo stopped did they timidly and apologetically say:
"My lord, the number of Lord of Souls and puppet armies here cannot be reduced to less than half of their current size. Ideally, we should avoid war and remain in a defensive posture indefinitely."
"And when their numbers increase, although the Manluo World is a small world, I think it can still accommodate about twenty level four life forms,"
"What if they reinforce their forces to eighteen Lord of Souls? Can't I take the initiative to attack?" Leo shouted.
The Level Three Great Wizard subconsciously glanced at Leo. Although Leo didn't say anything explicitly, Leo words always revealed that he knew more information, and every sentence hit the nail on the head.
Clearly, only a small number of people at level five or above could know that information, so Leo, at level four, couldn't possibly know it.
Coincidence cannot explain such a bizarre event!
"It's best to keep the minimum number of Lord of Souls at five. I believe you, Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, have enough power to control their numbers." The Level Three Great Wizard gave Leo a subtle but effective compliment.
"Heh, my skills are nowhere near what you've got," Leo continued to mock them.
"Anything else?"
The Level Three Great Wizard exchanged glances, completely bewildered by Leo. The more Leo acted this way, the more they suspected that Leo knew a lot of information he shouldn't have.
"And... and one more conflict per year, with each side having no fewer than one million members."
"Of course, we don't need to initiate it. Based on the previous situation in the Manluo World, the Lord of Souls will take the initiative, and we just need to defend."
The Level Three Great Wizard hesitated, their hearts filled with unease, and whispered amongst themselves.
Leo snorted coldly, his footsteps light, and his figure disappeared. As for whether he would do as these Level Three Great Wizard said, he did not give a definite answer.
Long after Leo left, the Level Three Great Wizard looked at each other, and finally one of them couldn't help but speak up, "Should we report this? The Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard might have some impact on our plans."
"If he can't resist disrupting the war rhythm of the Manluo World, it would be best to correct it quickly."
The numerous Level Three Great Wizard fell silent. Leo was incredibly powerful, so much so that he could influence their plans. They could no longer deal with him using the same methods they used against World Lord.
Finally, the leading wizard said, "Let's make a record first and see how he behaves. If he follows the rules properly, there won't be any problem. But if he insists on going his own way and disrupts our plans, then we'll report him and replace him."
The other Level Three Great Wizard nodded in approval of the decision and quickly returned to the room in the center of the altar to guard their magic circle.
At the same time, in the Shadow Space, Yaoyao asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Why did these Level Three Great Wizard change their attitude so drastically? I didn't hear you threatening them."
"What's going on here? It's like you know everything."
Leo's face lost all its ease, and his earlier mockery of the Level Three Great Wizard vanished, replaced by a grave expression. "The situation here is very complicated. Didn't the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard mention before that the Wizard World had dispatched a group of interstellar wandering wizards to infiltrate the Returning Breath World?"
"That's true, we talked about it when we first arrived," Yaoyao said.
"So how do you think these wizards who infiltrated the Returning Breath World will transmit the intelligence back?"
Yaoyao stared blankly into thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Although there are many ways to send messages across worlds, they all easily expose their identities."
"That's right. They are inside the Returning Breath World, and transmitting information is extremely dangerous. Ordinary methods are not feasible, as it would be easily detected by the Returning Breath World Will."
"Therefore, they chose to teleport out together with the Lord of Souls during the teleportation process, when the energy tide was at its maximum."
"By utilizing the energy fluctuations transmitted by the Lord of Souls, they can conceal their actions of transmitting information."
Upon hearing Leo's explanation, Yaoyao's eyes lit up instantly, "So these Level Three Great Wizard are...?"
"That's right, they're receiving information transmitted from within the Returning Breath World right here," Leo said.
"Those altars are signal receivers, specifically designed to receive intelligence transmitted back from the Returning Breath World."
"In order to successfully receive information and avoid being detected by the Returning Breath World, we must use the energy fluctuations surging from the battlefield to cover it up."
"This is still the world closest to the aura of the Returning Breath World, a springboard world for the Lord of Souls, and the location where the Returning Breath World connects most frequently to the outside world. Passing intelligence here from the Returning Breath World is the safest method."
"Damn, that's why they demanded that the battle not be resolved in one go. While ensuring the Lord of Souls and his forces' combat strength, they also wanted to launch a war every now and then, all to cover up the intelligence-transferring operation."
"After going through all that trouble, they've just ended up doing this one thing. They really are..."
"Was that really unnecessary?" Leo added with a smile to Yaoyao's words.
"Hmm, it feels like it."
"Are you mistaken about something, thinking that the Lord of Souls' strength is just so-so?"
Yaoyao nodded. In Leo's hands, these Lord of Souls were indeed very easy to deal with; they could be killed almost instantly.
"Others don't have our methods to ignore the soul attacks of the Lord of Souls. Although they also have some soul defense spells, they are easily broken by the Lord of Souls. Even a senior level Level Four Stigmata Wizard like Boiling Blood Tyrant Body can only fight two Lord of Souls to a draw."
"On the battlefield, the number of World Lord and Stigmata Wizard killed by the Lord of Souls is considerable; there are even records of Level-Five Stigmata Wizard falling."
"The souls of these slain Stigmata Wizard will be captured by the Lord of Souls, who can extract a wealth of information from their souls."
"Once they learn about this place from the wizards' souls, what do you think the Lord of Souls will do?"
"They'll definitely follow the trail, find the wizard who infiltrated the Returning Breath World and kill him, or send back a bunch of false information." Yaoyao had already come up with dozens of countermeasures in her head if the Lord of Souls learned about this situation.
"You already know this, do you think those Stigmata Wizard don't know it? That's why they only release a lot of information to Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, and not to lower-level ones," Leo said calmly.
Not only do they not share information with low-level wizards, but even the information they can share is often mixed with false information.
Since receiving the message that his clone Black Soluo had been Returning Breath World Will, Leo had seen through a lot of false information from the intelligence he had previously obtained.
They may seem useless, but if the Lord of Souls Lord of Souls this false information, one or two pieces won't matter, but countless pieces of false information piled up together will be enough to give them a hard time.
