At this stage, Shi Yifeng didn’t give Baiyu much ti to think.
The other party.
Seems like he could mutate into a monster at any mont.
Of course.
Baiyu remained on guard against the words "resurrection" and "Red Cup" ntioned by him.
If he rembered correctly.
Red Cup, like Black Moon, is a primordial Divine Spirit, and is a Blood Origin God.
In the East Prosperity Imperial’s Eternal Sleep City, most people are devotees of Red Cup.
And in the Battle of Blood Stone.
There seed to be a glimpse of such an ancient Divine Spirit’s shadow.
There are very few records about Red Cup, even less than those about Black Moon, which makes it seem like an older and more secretive existence.
"If soday in the future I have the chance to resurrect you, I will definitely do it.
I swear in the na of the God of Justice."
Baiyu drew the sacred symbol of the God of Justice.
The two of them felt as if an invisible gaze from the void was cast upon them, only to quickly depart.
Shi Yifeng nodded with satisfaction:
"Then, let tell you this.
Eternal Sleep City and a large group of people behind it want to kill you, so take care of yourself.
The Eternal Sleep City of today is not the sa as before.
You need to be careful.
We are all beyond our control.
Eternal Sleep City has been tempted by Red Cup for years, long falling into indulgence and sensory pleasures.
They’re very reckless.
Especially upon knowing that the Imperial is going to settle accounts with them, they beco even more reckless.
You... you seem to have been noticed by Red Cup, you’re a sacrificial offering desired by it, and Eternal Sleep City has long despised you."
Speaking at this point.
Shi Yifeng’s body was already covered with blood tumors.
Each one, like silkworm cocoons, shining and transparent with a blood-red hue, pulsated and breathed on him.
Pop...
As the first tumor burst open, small, bright red armored beetles crawled out.
"Kill , quickly."
Shi Yifeng shouted in agony.
Baiyu’s eyes changed and without hesitation, he retrieved the Moon Blade from the Black Moon Realm.
This extraordinary blade possessed great power and a sharp edge comparable to Living Iron.
With one thrust.
Baiyu pierced directly through Shi Yifeng’s head, causing the divine light in his eyes to vanish rapidly.
"Well done... Baiyu."
Shi Yifeng showed a relieved smile on his face, tilted his head back, and fell with a thud to the ground.
Without a target, the power of the Moon Prisoner gradually dissipated.
The surrounding darkness retreated like tidewater.
The few beetles that hatched from Shi Yifeng’s body were quickly annihilated by Baiyu.
Because he discovered that these things were corroding everything.
Not just the flesh and blood.
Even the earth and air were being eroded by them.
Even the Black Moon Realm seed like it was being bitten open, extrely bizarre.
Baiyu dared not be careless with these strange creatures.
His decisive act of killing Shi Yifeng was partly because of this, but also because he had reached his limit.
Even if he wanted to say sothing more, he probably couldn’t.
On his body.
There should be a very strong restrictive Spirit Technique.
Crash...
After the body fell to the ground, it turned into a pool of blood.
A heavy expression flickered in Baiyu’s eyes.
Why would this behemoth, Eternal Sleep City, set its sights on him? And with a large group of people.
What do these people an?
Baiyu had hardly any contact with them, yet was suddenly listed as an assassination target?
There’s a change in Eternal Sleep City...
This is the information revealed by Shi Yifeng.
But regardless of what Eternal Sleep City has beco, it’s certainly not good news for him.
Trouble!
Yet another trouble!
Baiyu clenched his fists, exhaling coldly. Though Eternal Sleep City has great influence, he is no longer that underling without any foundation.
The major influence of Eternal Sleep City lies in the Imperial North.
In the Imperial South.
Villiduo remains central, out of their reach.
Moreover.
Last ti, during the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, the elderly officer seed to have hinted that the Imperial might investigate Eternal Sleep City.
In any case, the situation hasn’t beco irretrievable.
Eternal Sleep City’s assassination attempt failed.
They certainly won’t try again in the short term, as that would be too conspicuous.
However.
The next attempt is bound to be swift and fierce, with thunderous power.
"Bah, back when I was rely a Tier Nine Martial Artist and fought against the Ascetic Order, I survived.
What am I afraid of now?
If Eternal Sleep City wants to co, let it co."
After a mont, a hint of relief appeared on Baiyu’s face, and he stopped dwelling on the matter.
Improving his strength is now the most important task.
Clearing Mountain City and taking real control is crucial.
If not for this assassination attempt today.
Baiyu might have slowly plotted, advancing gradually, employing gentle tactics, breaking them up and gaining control.
But now.
Regarding the six major forces, Baiyu has changed his strategy.
There is no ti for such tactics.
Very soon.
When Baiyu decided what to do, the Black Moon Realm completely dissipated, and the surrounding environnt reappeared in his view.
Shi Yifeng’s body had already turned into blood, flowing all over the ground.
Even his clothes and belongings were completely lted, making it hard to have any substantive evidence.
And when Baiyu erged.
At first glance.
He saw the surroundings crowded with dense military presence.
The City Guard Army, Anomaly Bureau, and even the Personal Guards from the City Lord’s Mansion were mobilized.
Clearly.
The assassination incident here had alard all of Mountain City.
Anomaly Bureau Captain Ye Hua, Ard Departnt Deputy Minister Sir Anlin, and Mountain City City Lord Guang Yuanba all rushed to the scene.
"Everyone is dead; they had a sealing Spirit Technique placed on them, which triggered as soon as they spoke."
At this ti.
Qiong Xue ca forward, with a slight look of guilt on her face, clearly feeling bad for not capturing any live targets.
But she knew the situation well and had to inform Baiyu about the external outco.
"Alright, I know."
Baiyu nodded, giving Qiong Xue a reassuring glance.
On the other side.
Shang Yufei from the Veterans Mutual Aid Association also arrived with people, evidently afraid that sothing might happen to Baiyu.
After all.
The old president is still recuperating, and Baiyu has been managing the Mutual Aid Association.
"Commander Bai, these rebels have so nerve to commit cris openly in the city; the Ard Departnt will certainly hold them accountable."
Sir Anlin was the first to approach, asking hurriedly.
Anomaly Bureau Captain Ye Hua also said, "Lord Bai, rest assured, we will investigate this matter to the end, and catch the real mastermind. Assassinating an Imperial Count is a capital cri; it shall not be tolerated."
At this mont.
These several people were all both surprised and angry, even sending people to question the major civilian gang forces within Mountain City.
If it was indeed their doing, that would be truly shocking.
Assassinating an Imperial Count is akin to treason.
However.
As the two were vigorously assuring, Baiyu hoarsely started speaking, "You all need not interfere in this matter; I want to handle it personally!"
