349: Huanyou surrenders

Seeing this, Xun Xiuyuan did not reveal himself.

The Ling Tian Pagoda's stealth ability was truly extraordinary; at such close range, the two Saint Kings were completely oblivious.

Since Titan's safety was now assured, the thought that Xun Xiuyuan had just extinguished reignited.

"Xiao Xuan, can we quietly approach the cosmic core, grab it, and then run?"

Xiao Xuan, still dressed in red, frowned and said, "I need to reveal my true form to pull the cosmic core in. It's impossible not to expose myself."

Xun Xiuyuan was stunned. What's so scary about exposing yourself for a moment? I thought I was the one who had to be exposed! What's a broken pagoda afraid of by exposing itself?

So he happily said, "Go immediately, take the cosmic core, and then run."

Xiao Xuan nodded, controlling the Ling Tian Pagoda to teleport rapidly towards the cosmic core.

As Xun Xiuyuan watched the Ling Tian Pagoda teleport, it seemed Xiao Xuan had gained many abilities that he had never understood.

In the past, because of the system's blessing, he had always been indifferent to the Ling Tian Pagoda.

But now, Xun Xiuyuan's realm couldn't advance, and the system's lottery draws were of little help to him.

In fact, Xun Xiuyuan knew that as long as he could advance to Saint King or Great Sage, there would definitely be many useful items in the lottery draws.

For example, the cosmic core.

For someone unable to cultivate, the system surely had a corresponding method.

At this moment, the Man in Black was not only fighting Huan You but also included Huan Xuan and Jason within his attack range.

Many of the Great Saint Peak puppets had already been destroyed by Huan Xuan and Jason.

The Man in Black collected all of them.

While the four were fighting fiercely, Jason suddenly unleashed a powerful move on Huan Xuan.

Huan Xuan couldn't dodge in time and was torn apart by the attack. Although not dead, he was severely weakened.

Huan You was furious and asked, "Jason? What's the meaning of this?"

The Man in Black sneered, "Want to know what it means? Go ask your Phantom Poison King."

Huan You realized this was a trap. He teleported next to Huan Xuan, struggled with all his might to break free from the opponent's spatial restraint, and then vanished with Huan Xuan in a teleportation.

The Man in Black did not pursue, only saying to Jason, "Lai Wen seems to be in trouble. Go help him."

Jason seemed to know the Man in Black's identity, nodded in agreement, and left the area.

The Man in Black looked at the cosmic core, which was within reach, his eyes filled with unconcealable fanaticism.

His Law of Light had long been comprehended and integrated into his World, but a cosmic core with the Light attribute was too rare.

Although the deal with the Phantom Poison King was to kill Huan You, the Man in Black didn't care at all. As long as he integrated the Light-attribute cosmic core, what could the Phantom Poison King do to him?

The Man in Black used his World Power to envelop the cosmic core, slowly pulling it towards him.

Even with the Man in Black's Saint King body, he dared not directly touch the Light-type cosmic core. This was also the special quality of a Light-type cosmic core.

When the Great Sages approached, their bodies were dissolved by the light emitted from the core.

This showed the power of this cosmic core.

Just as the Man in Black was feeling smug, a ripple suddenly appeared within the range controlled by his World Power.

While the Man in Black was puzzled, a ten-story stone pagoda appeared next to the cosmic core, slowly growing larger.

In just an instant, the pagoda vanished again.

The Man in Black was stunned, because along with it, the Light-type cosmic core also disappeared.

The Man in Black's furious roar echoed far and wide.

Everyone in the dangerous area noticed that the small sun in the sky was gone.

A hint of hatred appeared in Huan You's eyes; he now guessed the Man in Black's identity.

The moment the cosmic core disappeared, the battle between Hong Chen and Leven also came to an abrupt halt.

Because Jason had arrived on the scene, Grand Elder Hong Chen chuckled, "Big guy, your dog has arrived. I'll give you a chance, you two team up, and I'll kill you both again."

Leven scoffed, "Hong Chen, I know your strength is great, but your physique has no advantage against us. You can bully the two behind me, but we won't accompany you."

Leven assumed the Man in Black had already succeeded, so he naturally didn't want to fight Hong Chen again.

The key was that Hong Chen's strength was formidable. Even if he teamed up with Jason, he probably wouldn't fare well and might even sacrifice Jason.

After speaking, Leven and Jason, with great tacit understanding, teleported away directly.

Hong Chen turned to Titan: "I want to solemnly declare to you today, the person who ambushed you was not me."

Titan was stunned and nodded.

For a Saint King to say this so solemnly was giving him enough face.

After speaking, Hong Chen did not leave but looked at Huan You and Huan Xuan standing in the distance.

Huan You's face was bitter. He looked at Hong Chen and smiled, "I am now a stray dog. I wonder if the Yuan Ling Universe is willing to take me in. I can identify a Saint King who colluded with our Phantom Poison Universe."

At these words, both Hong Chen and Titan's expressions changed drastically.

Titan firmly believed that there was an internal spy among the Saint Kings of the Yuan Ling Sect, because his attack must have been a betrayal; otherwise, his whereabouts would not have been exposed.

Hong Chen had already discovered some clues in several battles; otherwise, she wouldn't have targeted Grand Elder Long Xiang everywhere.

Hong Chen didn't agree to anything, only looking behind Huan You and Huan Xuan.

A powerful aura surged from afar; it was the Man in Black.

He had also teleported nearby, forming a three-way standoff.

The Man in Black spoke directly, "Was it you?"

That one sentence left the four of them bewildered.

Seeing the expressions of the four, the Man in Black left helplessly.

No matter whom he faced, they wouldn't be easy to kill. The Man in Black continued to search for suspicious individuals; there was no need to confront these four people.

Hong Chen looked at the Man in Black leaving in the distance, her brows tightly furrowed.

Huan You saw Hong Chen's expression and said, "Grand Elder Hong Chen, if I'm not mistaken, that Man in Black should be Nuke, just with a changed appearance. If he is Nuke, then everything makes sense. Leven's retreat, Jason's betrayal, and so on, are all within reason."

Hong Chen nodded in realization, "No wonder he felt so familiar."

Grand Elder Hong Chen had fought Nuke before. Although she didn't win, she didn't die either. In Hong Chen's eyes, if you didn't kill me, then your strength is similar to mine.

Titan carefully felt the clash of World Power between Grand Elder Hong Chen and Huan You, then suddenly said, "Was it you who attacked me ten thousand years ago?"

Huan You paused, then smiled and nodded, "It was me, but I was just following orders."

Titan never imagined that the person who ambushed him would be the Great Elder of the Phantom Poison Universe before him. One must know that Titan was ambushed inside the base.

He was ambushed after he returned to the base, so Titan never suspected any Saint King outside the Yuan Ling Universe.
