438: Pack it all up and take it all! Another round in?

In a certain area of the Black Abyss.

Merlin excitedly ran towards the Old Servant Chekoma: "Chekoma! Did you find Liu Xiu?"

What was shocking was that Chekoma actually slapped Merlin to the ground.

He sneered: "Haha! Damn bastard, how dare you try to trick me with an outdated password! You're dead!"

He strode towards Merlin, two short blades radiating divine power appearing in his hands.

Merlin, heavily wounded and lying on the ground, his pupils constricted, and he screamed in terror: "Damn Chekoma! What the hell are you doing? I'm your master!"

"No! You are... a Qingqiu Fox Demon in Disguise, aren't you!"

Chekoma looked up at Tushan Ronghua and her group approaching in the distance, then glanced at the Reaping Squad from the Cross Star Black Market already fighting the vultures.

He scoffed: "My young master has already hidden himself, how could he possibly show up actively!"

"You dare to treat me like an idiot!"

"In return!"

"I've decided to chop you into pieces!"

Saying this, Chekoma wildly swung his blades forward.

"Haha!"

Soon, in his sight, the Qingqiu Fox Demon disguised as Merlin had been torn to shreds by him.

He also had a fox tail in his hand.

This made Chekoma believe even more that his young master Merlin was hiding nearby, watching.

After doing all this, Chekoma suddenly looked up at Tushan Ronghua.

A strange arc formed on the corner of his mouth: "Despicable Qingqiu Fox Demon! Since you have already captured Liu Xiu, then you and Liu Xiu should both stay!"

"My young master needs a concubine! Tushan Ronghua is not bad! The little foxes around her are suitable for an old man like me!"

In his sight, Tushan Ronghua's team had already captured Su Lie, subjected Liu Xiu to severe torture, and sealed Liu Xiu, dragging him behind the team as if to show him off.

This ignited his endless Malicious Pollution, as well as desires for slaughter and possession.

Saying this, Chekoma charged towards Tushan Ronghua.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Soon, the two sides engaged in battle.

Xiaoyu, as a formation master, stood in the distance, manipulating the formation plate to assist Tushan Ronghua in suppressing Chekoma.

Although Tushan Ronghua was also a Third-Turn Professional, her level was only 130.

It was still somewhat difficult to contend with the Old Servant cultivated by the Light God Kingdom royal family.

Therefore, she arranged for her guards to work together, using Xiaoyu's formation to try and suppress Chekoma.

The Chekoma before them had completely gone mad in their eyes.

Even heavily wounded, he still didn't flee, but fought desperately.

This made Tushan Ronghua's expression solemn: "Why is the Old Servant of the Angel Clan so brave? This doesn't fit their style of doing things!"

...After a while, Tushan Ronghua, after her Charm Talent failed on Chekoma, couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn bastard! This guy has lost his rationality!"

Fortunately, her guards were very capable, successfully holding back Chekoma.

Xiaoyu next to her quietly said: "Master! The seal has been lifted for you, you can move freely now!"

"The illusion power of the formation plate has also been successfully activated, completely covering a 5-kilometer diameter area, and all life has fallen into the illusion!"

She was secretly communicating with Su Lie.

Su Lie nodded: "Well done! Proceed according to the plan I outlined!"

After speaking, Su Lie teleported to Merlin, who was heavily wounded on the ground and had completely lost his combat ability.

Everything that just happened was orchestrated by Su Lie.

He was contacting Xiaoyu via Spirit transmission and investigating Xiaoyu's Skill.

Upon learning that Xiaoyu possessed illusion formations, he unhesitatingly had Xiaoyu cast the illusion according to his plan.

Through this, Su Lie used the rules of the Distortion Field to make the illusion permanent in this area.

Currently, everything the warring parties saw, heard, and their combat targets, except for the initial skirmish, were all manifestations of the illusion.

The reason Tushan Ronghua, the Reaping Squad, and Chekoma didn't detect anything abnormal was because they had already been hit by over 100 Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus spread by Su Lie.

These contaminations and viruses, when stacked together, surprisingly had the special function of reducing intelligence and cognition.

This was merely a basic application of the Distortion Field's power.

For deeper applications, Su Lie still needed to comprehend them himself.

Merlin, who had fallen to the ground and lost both his hands, looked at Su Lie approaching with horror, and he suddenly seemed to understand something: "It's you? All of this was your doing?"

In his sight, the world had turned into a pitch-black deep space.

He was continuously falling, falling, and falling again.

Merlin had gone from initial panic and screaming to being completely terrified now.

Su Lie squatted beside Merlin, gently placing Merlin's severed hands on the wounds: "Alas! I didn't know my power was this strong! Originally, I only wanted to fool you all!"

"I'm really sorry! I hurt you! I also wonder if it will still achieve the desired effect when I take your life later!"

Su Lie's soliloquy filled Merlin with terror.

Merlin wanted to scream in Fear, but found that he had lost his voice.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, Merlin transformed into a gold and silver dual-colored sculpture.

Su Lie had used the Glory Seal Talent on Merlin.

"Hehe! The second one!"

He put the sculpture into his ruyi pouch and then teleported to the Reaping Squad's side.

Currently, four demons in the Reaping Squad were heavily wounded, and one was in a dying state.

Su Lie first sealed the other four demons, and when he came before the dying demon, he seriously asked: "Who sent you? Wu Hongzhong or Xiu? Or Kephis? Or someone else?"

"Haha! Can't you tell? We are noble demons! Only Demon Kings can rule and dominate demons!"

The demon from the Reaping Squad said in a low voice.

Among the Mental Virus affecting him, there was one that made noble bloodline holders disdain to lie, no matter the circumstances.

Therefore, Su Lie did not doubt this: "Does Wu Hongzhong know?"

"No! This is Lord Xiu's hint! Our demon faction's Reaping Squad only obeys Lord Xiu! And what we handle are Guests like you from the VIP boxes!"

The demon regretfully spoke the truth: "What a pity! Lord Xiu's instruction was to kill all the hateful angels and disgusting Qingqiu Fox Demon, leaving only you as a slave to be brought back to the Black Abyss to refine pills for Lord Xiu's Kingdom!"

"Unexpectedly, the Qingqiu Fox Demon's guards were too strong!"

...Its aura grew weaker and weaker, clearly on the verge of death.

Only then did Su Lie seal this demon into a gold and silver sculpture.

The reason he did this was for two purposes.

The first purpose was to divert the attention of the Cross Star Black Market, the Qingqiu Fox Demon, and the Angel Clan.

To make them believe that although a battle occurred in the Black Abyss, it was not the final battlefield.

To prevent them from confirming that their own people died in the Black Abyss.

The second goal was that Su Lie planned to gain data for the Devour Talent after dawn tomorrow.

Then, through the Devour Talent, he would allow the Divine Thief Talent to devour other Talents to improve.

He was using the Divine Thief Talent to steal the lives of these resources.

Of course, the Qingqiu Fox Demon, the Angel Clan, and the Reaping Squad were all avenues for him to understand the Mist World.

How could such good resources be allowed to die so easily!

Just like that, Su Lie quickly sealed the Angel Clan's Old Servant Chekoma and all twelve Qingqiu Fox Demon into sculptures, one by one.

After completing this, Su Lie then sealed Xiaoyu, who had been transformed into a Relatives, into a sculpture.

After completing these tasks, he began to spread various chaotic Malicious Pollution and Mental Virus in this environment of the Distortion Field, which he had stopped controlling.

After finishing, Su Lie then dealt with the traces of the fight at the scene.

Only then, satisfied, did he arrive at the location previously indicated by the Exploration Hint and slowly sank into the swamp.

As the swamp completely covered Su Lie, he clearly sensed a special vital energy appearing in an area 132 meters below his feet.

"Only 0.05 seconds of time?"

Su Lie silently sensed.

He found that after sinking into the swamp, his rationality pill value was decreasing at a rate of 10 points per second, and his Purity value was decreasing at a rate of 5 points per second.

Fortunately, he possessed rationality pill and special effects to restore Purity.

Otherwise, he would have gone mad by the 8th second after being dragged in.

Soon, after Su Lie quietly observed the appearance and disappearance of this special vital energy three times, he instantly teleported to the location where the vital energy appeared, just before its fourth appearance.

Buzz!

When he appeared, he happened to collide with this vital energy.

Immediately after, a faint spatial power flickered on the vital energy.

This power instantly pulled Su Lie into a bright and ethereal space.

At the same time, at the location where Su Lie had just been teleported from, a burly figure flickered into existence.

If Su Lie were here, he would surely realize that this person was none other than Xiu, one of the three directors of the Cross Star Black Market!

The moment Xiu appeared, a brilliant light erupted from him.

This startled Xiu, causing him to break out in cold sweat: "F*ck! When did the Black Abyss turn into this mess? What is this? A curse that specifically invades the Spirit and soul? A virus? Or a restriction?"

He found that it was even more dangerous than he had imagined.

"The traces of the Reaping Squad... are here?"

Xiu quickly came to the traces left by the Reaping Squad, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes: "Huh? The Reaping Squad fought here? This is a sacred aura? Was it discovered by the Angel Clan?"

"No!"

"Demonic energy! This is a Skill left by the demon race!"

"How could this be?"

"How could they be discovered?"

...Xiu thought as he followed the traces further away.

After a while, he actually returned to the location where the Reaping Squad's traces were left, and this time the traces he saw were different: "New discovery! There's the aura of that Refiner here? But not the Reaping Squad's!"

"Huh! And a hidden vital energy! If it weren't for the traces of battle, it really wouldn't be easy to find!"

Xiu quickly came to a long, thin blade mark, and he murmured softly: "The Refiner was kidnapped by the demon race!"

He quickly came to a conclusion.

However, Xiu did not give up and continued to search for his target along the intermittent traces.

What he didn't know was that he was currently caught in a loop.

A loop constructed by a 5-kilometer diameter Distortion Field combined with Malicious Pollution, Mental Virus, and an illusion... At the same time, Su Lie opened his eyes.

He found himself an infant, lying in the arms of a woman.

The woman had a beautiful face, like a celestial fairy, and she happily said to a handsome scholar by the bed: "Husband! It's a boy! Look, he's looking at us? How interesting?"

The scholar walked over, staring at Su Lie intently, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

He then gently squeezed Su Lie's small hand.

"Hmm! Good baby! Since you've been born into this world, then have a good sleep! Then, Mother and Father will take you to explore the prosperity of the human world and share the mortal dust for thousands of years!"

As the scholar's voice sounded, Su Lie only felt drowsy and closed his eyes uncontrollably...
