"After that, it was quite a coincidence that this companion is the founder of the Shadow Alliance," Bai Mu said, glancing at the middle-aged man on the right, introducing, "Wu Yan."
"Hello," Wu Yan nodded at Fang Heng with a sowhat cautious smile. "Fang Bai, I've heard about you. I'm Wu Yan."
"This is Ms. Niximi."
Niximi moved with a touch of allure, nodding as she said, "Hello, Greed, I am Lust."
"In fact, the Shadow Alliance has existed for a long ti, though its reputation was not prominent. At that ti, we thought the Shadow Alliance might be a suitable ally, useful in the future, so we decided to stay behind the scenes and control things from the shadows," Bai Mu continued. "Not long ago, we learned about Jing Ge'er's team. Since the White Abyss incident, they've completely gone their separate ways and ford their own small squad to act independently."
"We encountered them once during this period, and it seed like they had so fortuitous encounter, as their overall strength had improved."
"About half a month ago, we suddenly received information about Jing Ge'er and his group. The letter said that the Holy Realm was about to face a crisis. They plan to take advantage of this crisis to infiltrate the Holy Realm, targeting a holy weapon said to be capable of significantly countering the demonic seed."
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Good grief.
To think that the demonic seed faction was so bold and daring, already preparing to strike at the Holy Realm.
Fang Heng quickly stopped Bai Mu, asking, "Wait a mont. Are you saying the trouble in the Holy Realm was caused by Jing Ge'er and his team?"
Bai Mu furrowed his brows, thinking for a mont, then shook his head, saying, "No, I don't think they have that kind of power, but it's likely that they're involved in so way. Otherwise, they wouldn't have received the information so early."
"Mm, I understand. Please continue."
"After receiving the letter, our first reaction was disbelief. After all, the Holy Realm is unlike other places, and it has been peaceful and stable for too long. The chances of a crisis happening in the Holy Realm were too low."
"So, we suspected that maybe Jing Ge'er and his group were planning sothing against the Holy Realm, trying to provoke us into starting a war with them, hoping to benefit from it..."
"After so discussion, we decided not to act imdiately, but instead to keep an eye on the Holy Realm from a distance."
"None of us expected that, overnight, the Holy Court would experience anomalies."
"All the signs pointed to the fact that the Holy Realm might indeed be experiencing a disturbance."
"After we confird the news, we were already one step behind."
"We later found out that, in the very first mont the disturbance in the Holy Realm occurred, Jing Ge'er and his team had already taken action. On the third day of the event, while the outside world was still unaware, they had successfully infiltrated Amrit, attacked the Mist Temple, and used the passage inside the temple to enter the Holy Realm."
"When we finally got the news and arrived here, we were already too late."
Bai Mu pondered for a mont, nodding, "After the Holy Realm discovered the passage had been breached, they imdiately strengthened their defenses and even sent the Elental Clan to assist."
"So by the ti we arrived, the Holy Court's defenses had already been reinforced."
"With our strength, if we went all out and charged directly, the Mist Temple wouldn't be able to hold us back, but we were worried that if we made a move, the Holy Court would destroy the teleportation passage leading to the Holy Realm to stop us from entering."
"Not only that, but the energy fluctuations we'd release in battle would surely attract the attention of the Holy Realm."
Wu Yan smiled and said, "After discussing it, we suspect this is likely a trap set by Jing Ge'er. It's very possible that Jing Ge'er intentionally lured us here, hoping to use the Holy Realm's power to relieve the pressure on them."
Bai Mu shook his head and said, "Of course, this is just our speculation."
"We discussed it and decided to temporarily hide, using the Shadow Alliance's na to mix the news of the disturbance in the Holy Realm with rumors about the Holy Weapon in the Mist Temple, releasing a mix of truth and lies to attract forces that are hostile to the Holy Court to co to the Mist Temple to deal with the Holy Court."
"While the Holy Court is distracted by the troubles in the Holy Realm, and the guards at the Mist Temple relax, we can blend in with these forces, and, without revealing our own aura, sneak into the Holy Realm."
Fang Heng understood.
In fact, the strength of the demonic seed was no small matter.
If Bai Mu and the other demonic seed tead up, even the Phoenixes outside the Mist Temple would not be able to stop them.
However, Bai Mu and his team were unwilling to take this route.
On one hand, they didn't want the Holy Court to beco desperate and destroy the teleportation passage, taking everything down in one blow. On the other hand, they didn't want to end up being pawns for the arrogant Jing Ge'er.
A deeper consideration likely involved wanting to act more secretly after entering the Holy Realm.
"We still don't know exactly what's happening in the Holy Realm, so we've decided to remain cautious," Bai Mu continued.
Fang Heng understood the current situation after hearing the full account.
To put it simply:
The demonic seed was interested in a certain artifact in the Holy Realm!
And wasn't he, Fang Heng, also interested in it?
If he could obtain it...
It would be beneficial, but the situation in the Holy Realm clearly wasn't simple. It could take a long ti just to go back and forth.
He already had many troubles to deal with.
The death realm was still waiting for him to return, and the matter of the orb protective net had not progressed at all. That was sothing that couldn't be delayed even for a mont.
Although he was reluctant...
Wait!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Heng's mind.
That's right!
The Holy Realm!
Fang Heng rembered clearly that in the sea of consciousness by the Nether River, he had seen images showing the seven worlds created by the Creator, each corresponding to a different orb!
Among them should be the death realm and the Holy Realm!
And not only that!
Fang Heng recalled that each orb was associated with a protective dark golden net.
The protective net for the orb of the death realm had been lost, but perhaps the protective net for the orb of the Holy Realm was still intact!
Now, with the Holy Realm in chaos, if he followed the demonic seed to the Holy Realm, there might be a chance to find the protective net for the Holy Realm's orb!
It was a chance!
He could give it a try!
Fang Heng quickly made his decision.
Bai Mu, observing Fang Heng's thoughtful expression, smiled and asked, "I just heard that the Shadow Alliance has had so infiltrators from the Holy Court. At first, I was a little confused, but now I realize it's you. Have you found sothing?"
"Yeah, a little discovery." Fang Heng responded, pulling out so stones he had gathered along the way from his backpack. "I found so special stones in the cave. They contain holy power, but I haven't figured out what they're for yet."
