"What was that just now?"
"I don’t know! But it was terrifying. I feel like if that thing moves a finger, all of us would be swiftly reaped!"
"This world is indeed full of hidden dangers, it’s so damn dangerous!"
The group was utterly shocked.
A mont later, the leader among the survivors looked at the dark cave ahead and said, "Um... should we still go inside?"
Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to decide.
...
...
Ten minutes later.
Sarah had silently returned to the tavern.
When that figure, like a shadow, twisting the surrounding light, appeared, even Lord Cao Xing was sowhat shocked.
Sarah in her Death God state was truly terrifying!
Although her facial features and appearance were unclear, she exuded an invisible aura.
It was a presence that completely disregarded life, existing high above.
"Sarah, this form can be deactivated at any ti, right?" Lord Cao Xing asked.
"Yes, my Lord." An eerie and hollow voice rang out.
In her Death God state, even her voice changed.
However, as Sarah exited from this state, a powerful Power of Soul surged into her dagger.
And she reverted back to the Dark Elf lurking in the shadows, closely guarding Lord Cao Xing.
Lord Cao Xing was extrely satisfied.
He also looked forward to Blom quickly reaching Level 70 and then binding the Origin Shield.
After all, the Primordial Giant Form on it is very powerful too.
Being a Level 70 Legendary Equipnt, it shouldn’t be weaker than the effect of the Death God’s Dagger.
With nothing much to do during the day, Lord Cao Xing continued to wait in the tavern.
When night fell, the bartender ca to his door and gently knocked, saying, "Sir, a guest has co to see you."
"He is currently in a private room on the first floor."
Lord Cao Xing’s heart moved slightly, seemingly understanding sothing.
"Got it, tell him I’ll be right over."
"Alright."
The bartender quickly departed.
Lord Cao Xing straightened his clothes.
Then he went to a private room on the first floor.
Inside, a figure was sitting quietly.
It was General Kro, as agreed during the day.
Lord Cao Xing naturally sat opposite him.
Kro got straight to the point.
"Let’s discuss the matter concerning Tasid."
Lord Cao Xing nodded slightly, saying, "General Kro, I think you might have noticed, Tasid has connections with the Bright Church."
Upon hearing this, the general’s expression shifted slightly, then he nodded, "I can definitely see that this guy has ties with the Bright Church."
"After the battle in Dorun Lake City ended, I, along with several captains, reported Tasid, and His Majesty the King has also begun suspecting him."
"Lately, he’s been under investigation by the circuit court."
"However, without concrete evidence, we can’t arbitrarily convict a general."
Upon hearing this, Lord Cao Xing directly took out a list of Black Robed Priests and handed it over.
It’s just the perfect opportunity to return a favor.
Kro accepted it.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
A mont later, he sighed.
"Indeed, this guy is truly a mber of the Bright Church."
He didn’t doubt the list’s authenticity provided by Lord Cao Xing.
Because several nas on it were captured by them not long ago!
"However... this list alone still isn’t enough to convict Tasid..."
Lord Cao Xing questioned, "This isn’t enough?"
Kro nodded slightly, "The list lacks the Bright Church’s power mark, it seems you obtained it accidentally from sowhere."
"Of course, I don’t doubt you just gave a random piece of paper. It’s just that this kind of thing is too easy to forge. As long as Tasid refuses to admit it, even if we have the list, we can’t do anything to him."
Lord Cao Xing furrowed his brow.
At that mont, Kro changed his tone.
"However... I’ve been taking action during this ti."
Lord Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.
"What do you an?"
Kro said, "Recently, I’ve investigated Tasid and collected his travel records."
"Among them are several instances of evidence of his interactions with the people on this list."
"With these evidences, coupled with the list, we have enough to arrest him and interrogate him!"
"When His Majesty the King returns, that will be the mont Tasid falls!"
Lord Cao Xing’s face showed signs of joy.
Indeed, soone like him couldn’t be a general purely through force; he has a clear mind.
He’s already initiated covert actions.
At this mont, Lord Cao Xing seed to rember sothing and hurriedly said, "General Kro, you must be careful not to alert the guy and let him escape ahead of ti."
"I know." Kro said with a light laugh.
"Lord Cao Xing, this list has helped a lot."
"Besides what you ntioned during the day about teleportation array permissions, do you have any other requests?"
Lord Cao Xing thought for a mont and then said, "Yes."
He didn’t hold back and spoke directly.
"I want to know about all the Bright Church’s strongholds under your control, including headquarters, branches, and transit points."
"You’ve investigated for so long; you must have so confidential information."
Upon hearing this, Kro looked at Lord Cao Xing deeply once again.
He realized that the Lord before him was no ordinary person.
"You’re right, we do have locations of so Bright Church strongholds."
