449: Reactions from all sides! Bloodline Array Activation Quest!

On a blizzard-ridden plain approximately 19.98 million kilometers away from the Silent Abyss.

An old woman draped in a green cloak was walking with a stooped body.

Every step she took would land her 100 kilometers away.

If one observed closely.

Every time she set her foot down, she floated above the snow surface.

It could be described as leaving no trace upon the snow!

This person was none other than the Black Mountain Old Demon, who had descended from Black Mountain.

She had already investigated the place where the tree Spirit died, and based on the other puppets she controlled, she knew Su Lie's current location.

“That damn bastard! He actually shattered all my children! He didn't even leave me a shred of hope for their revival! He truly deserves to die!”

The Black Mountain Old Demon was suffering immensely inside; her aged face was twisted like a withered tree trunk.

Just then.

She suddenly trembled: “Another believer has been developed?”

“CNMLGB!”

Immediately following this, the Black Mountain Old Demon erupted in curses.

In just a few short minutes, she detected an increase, followed by a decrease, in her believers.

This was exactly the same provocation she had encountered when she left Black Mountain.

Soon.

Everything stopped.

The Black Mountain Old Demon trembled as she clenched her hands. She had considered using the moment the opponent awakened the Summon Old Demon Talent to counter-invade the target's proximity and slice the damned bastard into a thousand pieces.

Who knew.

The opponent's speed was so fast it suffocated her.

The Black Mountain Old Demon didn't even have a chance to strike; she couldn't help but roar towards the sky.

“Ah!”

A voice that sounded neither male nor female echoed across the wilderness.

Boom!

In an instant, the snow plain within a 100-kilometer radius centered around her immediately exploded.

Thick layers of snow flew into the sky, transforming into rain.

Large amounts of withered grass on the ground regained vitality.

And then.

This newfound vitality was quickly absorbed by the Black Mountain Old Demon due to her pain, causing the land to become even more desolate than before, and severe desertification appeared.

“That damned bastard! I know who you are now! Ah! Shameless Su Lie! May you die a horrible death! I curse you! CNM!”

The Black Mountain Old Demon was not without gains.

Based on this careful sensing.

The life form that was constantly using the Summon Old Demon Talent and then constantly washing away the Talent was none other than her enemy, Su Lie.

“Damned Su Lie! I won't let you die so easily! I want you to experience what hell is like! You infuriate me!”

The Black Mountain Old Demon, fueled by rage, immediately started running.

Her speed increased a hundredfold compared to before.

At this moment, the Old Demon was no longer cautious but began to run wildly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before long.

The Black Mountain Old Demon was struck by powerful Skills, one after another.

“Ah! Damn it! How could there be a Third-Turn Survivor in this place?”

Soon, the Black Mountain Old Demon cried out in terror.

She had no choice but to take out a movement token to escape.

“Damn it! Damn it! It was all Su Lie's fault for ruining this Old Woman's temperament, allowing these damned bastards to sense my aura! Ah ya ya ya! Su Lie! I will make your life worse than death!”

As the Black Mountain Old Demon crushed the movement token, she glared hatefully at the Survivors rushing towards her in the distance and cursed under her breath.

Buzz!

Before long.

At the location where the Black Mountain Old Demon had fled.

A Survivor covered in murderous aura slowly squatted down. His brow furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to the two other Survivors next to him and said, “You two are utterly stupid! How many times do I have to say it!”

“You need patience when hunting monsters!”

“Did dogs eat your brains?”

“You fire a cannon from this far away? Do you think the monster is an idiot!”

“Damn it! You wasted my time!”

After cursing, the Third-Turn Professional Survivor looked toward the Silent Abyss. He turned to the two next to him and said, “You guys play by yourselves! My time limit is almost up over there; I have to go execute my mission!”

“Holy crap! Senior Brother Xuesha! You can't do this! We agreed that you would help us hunt the Black Mountain Old Demon!”

The remaining two Second-Turn Professionals couldn't help but shout.

Whoosh!

The next second, a flash of bloody light passed.

The two Second-Turn Professionals widened their eyes, and as they turned to look at each other, their heads had already fallen to the ground.

Moreover, their bodies instantly withered into Dried Corpses.

At this moment.

Xuesha, who was already a thousand miles away, held the several Bloodline Orbs in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: “Damn it! Failed again! I thought these two kids I saw this time could give me the Flowing Light Bloodline, but I failed to extract it again!”

“It seems I can only look for another target!”

...Also at this moment.

Inside the headquarters of the Cross Star Black Market.

Wu Hongzhong, one of the directors, suddenly stood up. Looking at the information delivered by the steward, his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character 'chuan': “Damn it! You tell me Xiu is dead at a time like this?”

“I apologize, Director Wu! We only just learned of Director Xiu's death through the core of the rules of the Black Market; the exact location of death is unknown!”

The steward said solemnly, “However, after the auction early this morning, Director Xiu not only arranged for a Reaping Squad to leave the Black Market, but 13 minutes and 11 seconds after the Reaping Squad departed, he also teleported away from the Black Market!”

“According to our investigation of the teleportation records, the Reaping Squad went to the Black Abyss! But three related teleportation records were erased!”

“Director Xiu did not use the Black Market's teleportation array to leave, so his specific whereabouts are unknown!”

He paused slightly here, seeming hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Wu Hongzhong frowned and asked, “So! Xiu, the Reaping Squad, and the three other Guests who were teleported away, all went to the same place! Who?”

“Phew! Director! An envoy from the Archangel Race just came asking us about the whereabouts of Prince Merlin of the Light God Kingdom and his servant Chekoma!”

The steward tremblingly pulled out a report and said solemnly, “In addition, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon of the Qingqiu Fox Clan also sent a demon to inquire about the whereabouts of Tushan Ronghua, the Nine-Tailed Fox who came to our Black Market this morning, and her party!”

“I interrogated the waiter and manager who oversaw the private boxes, and learned that Liu Xiu, who had just been appointed as a Bronze Great Refiner, was also teleported away at the same time!”

...He reported the information he had gathered in detail to Wu Hongzhong.

Bang!

Wu Hongzhong slumped onto his chair and cursed aloud: “WCTMLGB! Is this Xiu trying to destroy my Cross Star Black Market? He dared to touch the direct descendants of the Archangel Race and the Qingqiu Fox Clan!”

Saying this.

He quickly looked at the steward: “Is that Liu Xiu still alive?”

“The Black Market's heart of the rules shows that he is indeed still alive, but we cannot contact him via the Black Market token; it seems his location is protected by some kind of rule barrier!”

The steward said solemnly.

Wu Hongzhong jumped in fright: “CTMD! Xiu definitely killed the three of them and stole the treasures of Merlin and Tushan Ronghua! Then he controlled Liu Xiu, wanting to use Liu Xiu's forging ability to strengthen his lineage of demons again!”

“You truly harmed many people!”

He immediately followed up: “Have people been sent to the scene of the incident?”

“Yes! We have been there! But... one thing is very suspicious! We did find the auras of Xiu, the Reaping Squad, Merlin, Tushan Ronghua, and Liu Xiu, but their death location was not there!”

The steward nodded and whispered, “Moreover, that area is full of all kinds of Mental Viruses and Spirit contamination! The investigators who returned were either so crazy they killed everyone they saw, or they were blankly devoid of self-awareness!”

“Furthermore, this virus and contamination are contagious. If my subordinates hadn't handled it promptly, the headquarters here might have suffered huge losses!”

Saying this, the steward handed another confidential document to Wu Hongzhong.

After Wu Hongzhong looked at it, he felt like dying: “Damn it! You call this a minor loss? The entire investigation team was wiped out! Those tickets in the prison are all dead too! Holy crap!”

“Director Wu! This was requested by Director Keffis!”

The steward said heavily.

Wu Hongzhong was so angry he couldn't speak a word. After pondering for a long time, he quickly asked the steward, “Where did Director Keffis go?”

“Director Keffis just went to the treasury and then seemed to have left the Black Market!”

The steward said in surprise.

Wu Hongzhong's eyes widened, and he rushed out of the office: “Damn it! Keffis, you damned old bastard! Don't run away with the money!”

When he arrived at the treasury to look.

Bang!

Wu Hongzhong immediately fainted.

The steward who followed him saw it: “Damn it! Director Keffis emptied the treasury? ...Not good! Run!...”

Thinking of this.

The steward quickly headed towards the Black Market's Planting Area.

About half an hour later.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Streams of light suddenly flashed in the dimensional void where the Cross Star Black Market was located.

One could see.

An Archangel King Lucifer, massive like a mountain range, appeared outside the Cross Star Black Market.

Along with him came a beautiful woman wearing a pink robe.

“Wu Hongzhong! Keffis! Get your asses out here!”

Archangel King Lucifer and the beautiful woman discussed for a few moments in low voices before he roared furiously.

As he roared, a pair of sharp claws directly tore apart the energy shield of the Cross Star Black Market.

Following that.

Countless Archangels and warriors of the Qingqiu Fox Demon race rushed into the Black Market.

Buzz!

At this moment, the newly awakened Wu Hongzhong quickly teleported into the dimension. He looked at Archangel King Lucifer and the beautiful woman and said tremblingly, “Lucifer, Archangel King Lucifer! Tushan Fox King! Please stop, this matter has nothing to do with the Cross Star Black Market, this was all Xiu's doing!”

“Nonsense! Dare you say that Xiu is not a director of your Cross Star Black Market?”

The Tushan Fox King asked sharply.

Wu Hongzhong felt his entire body go soft. Without any defense or resistance in his heart, he replied directly: “Yes!”

“That's enough! Since our Prince is dead, I have no desire to discuss whose fault it is! Since the incident happened at your Cross Star Black Market, this Black Market will cease to exist today!”

Lucifer snorted coldly and shouted.

The Tushan Fox King immediately pronounced: “Wu Hongzhong, you belong to the mist rule! We will not kill you! But if you dare to stop us, you will surely die!”

“I now declare that, apart from Wu Hongzhong, all members of the Cross Star Black Market are sentenced to death, and all resources of the Cross Star Black Market belong to my Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Light God Kingdom!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Wu Hongzhong immediately stopped arguing. He knew that these two didn't care where Merlin and Tushan Ronghua died.

What they wanted was the Cross Star Black Market!

This made him involuntarily spit out a mouthful of black blood and faint again: “Damn it! Nearly a hundred years of hard work wasted! WCNMLGB! ... Xiu... Keffis... May you both die horribly! You two bastards who betrayed your oaths!”

...Also at this moment.

Su Lie, oblivious to the outside world, was looking at the innate Talent of the Archangel Race that he had just awakened.

[Heart of Holiness: Red God-level Quality Talent; Innate Talent of the Archangel Race;

Enhancement 1: All your Holy-type Skills, Divine Abilities, and Talents will receive a 10,000-fold temporary data boost when used.

Enhancement 2: All Holy-type Skills, Divine Abilities, and Talents directed at you will fail, transforming into a Light of Healing that treats your injuries and purifies contamination.

Enhancement 3: Your Skills, Divine Abilities, Talents, and weapons will cause the target to suffer an additional 10,000 times the total damage as Holy Damage when dealing damage to the Abyss Evil Race.]

“Hmm?”

After Su Lie reviewed the three great Talents, his brow suddenly twitched.

At this moment.

He sensed that his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.

There seemed to be two forces within his body, colliding fiercely.

This power made his entire body intensely hot and his blood boil.

Soon.

He felt his body lighten.

Under his careful perception.

A gentle force was separating these two powers, causing his boiling blood to gradually calm down.

Su Lie realized this and finally understood where the problem lay: “The Archangel and the demon king bloodline produced a strong rejection reaction? The pan god bloodline neutralized this crisis!”

Puff!

The next second, an unspeakable pain made his chest tremble.

Immediately following, Su Lie opened his mouth and spat out a clump of foul blood.

Only after spitting out this mouthful of foul blood did Su Lie feel his body lighten.

When he looked at his bloodline again.

A notification from the mist rule jumped into his sight...
