Karmic Fire engulfed Xin Jiyue, purple mist rose from his eyes, condensing into a twisted human face, the rough voice sounded once more:
"I'm giving you a chance; if I'm there, you might survive on Heartless Island."
Li Zhiyuan remained silent, simply intensifying the Karmic Fire.
"I'll wait for you on Heartless Island, ready to witness your miserable fate."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiyuan suddenly spoke: "You better consider your own predicant on Heartless Island first."
The human face was startled, a fleeting mont, but Li Zhiyuan still caught a glimpse of fear from it.
Indeed, this guy wasn't the master of Heartless Island.
Its role was more akin to that of a housekeeper managing "assets" for the master while collecting Karmic Power.
It wanted to join the team partly thinking of sharing rit through Zou Jiang, partly seeking escape from Heartless Island.
A housekeeper on the island with such power, possessing three subordinates of that level, just how terrifying could the master of Qiu Mansion on Heartless Island be?
The face couldn't withstand the scorching of the Karmic Fire any longer, scattered and vanished along with the purple mist.
Li Zhiyuan withdrew his hand and stood up.
Wu Qinhai and Xin Jiyue were both now cold corpses; before being controlled by the Descender, they had strived to demonstrate themselves, aiming to join the team.
Especially Wu Qinhai, possessing decent potential and a sharp mind.
But they had long voluntarily surrendered their contracts, leaving no chance to start anew.
Below, grandma let out a sharp shriek, pulling the spear from the boat leader's chest.
However, she didn't rush towards the heights, instead turned and ran in another direction, towards the supply cooperative.
Li Zhiyuan knew she intended to destroy the gift pack.
If Xin Jiyue hadn't died, grandma would have "lost her mind," attack wildly, appear formidable yet with many flaws, ultimately to be "close safely" killed.
Subsequently, after killing Lin Shuyou, the Lighthouse Elder would et revenge successfully from our group.
Finally, it was ti to loot the spoils.
These spoils only suited the Divination Child, naturally falling to the new mber Xin Jiyue.
Now, the drama had collapsed, the gift pack originally reserved for "self" certainly wouldn't be left to another.
Even though Li Zhiyuan stayed put, Run Sheng, after smashing Wu Qinhai's head with a shovel, had already moved downward alongside Yin ng.
In comparison, that person affected by "being discovered," exhibited emotional fluctuation delaying new orders to grandma.
Run Sheng and Yin ng were both running, Run Sheng faster, leading the way.
Run Sheng extended his right arm, Yin ng swung the Demon Exorcism Whip forward, binding one end around Run Sheng's arm.
The next mont, Run Sheng fiercely tugged the whip, tossing Yin ng while running.
This maneuver hadn't been practiced before, as injury was quite possible.
Indeed, being thrown, Yin ng experienced a mont of subconscious bewildernt midair.
Fortunately, Brother Xiao Yuan's voice alert rang in her mind.
Almost in a semi-dazed state, she hurled a string of poison pots to the right, which exploded upon collision forming a colorful poison waterfall.
It happened to block grandma's path.
This tily obstruction allowed Run Sheng to catch up, leap onto the rooftop, and swing the Yellow River Shovel towards her.
Grandma held the spear horizontally, deflected the Yellow River Shovel, but retreated repeatedly, her form trembled.
This wasn't her true power, but it wasn't an act.
That one feared the three might cause excessive damage to the "new team," prompting an early internal clash between grandma and the boat leader.
Not only did the boat leader die, but grandma's injury hadn't recovered well.
Moreover, there was blood leaking from grandma's abdon, likely a deliberate additional insurance to later explain it as a counterattack from the boat leader when he was dying.
With the situation manipulated to such an extent, if Run Sheng couldn't dominate, it would be a joke.
Continuous attacks worsened grandma's condition, spear blocking grew increasingly desperate.
She wanted to escape, but whenever she showed intent, poison pots would explode ahead, forcing her back into the battlefield.
Unlike the first distraction needing several pots, after Run Sheng engaging, Yin ng only needed one for obstruction; grandma dared to charge recklessly, she'd expose her back to Run Sheng.
Clearly the sa combat mode as before, yet this ti it flowed more seamlessly, even an enjoyable experience erged.
Yin ng adapted her tactical position continuously based on the battle.
Previously, she lacked the awareness, clueless where to run, ultimately relying on Brother Xiao Yuan's prior verbal arrangent or witnessing the enemy's escape, risking everything to self-destruct with poison pots.
"Turns out Brother Xiao Yuan used to view us fighting as so foolish."
"Focus."
Yin ng felt a jolt, the inner echo of reprimand when distracted was truly creepy.
Following Brother Xiao Yuan's ntal guidance, Run Sheng only suppressed grandma, not recklessly risking an end to the battle.
