I had intended to use the Superpower Technique etched into the Heart Protecting Mirror by Long Jiuri to escape.
But when Lu Zixun heard Gai Tiandi’s words, something stirred inside him.
Could this person know Yue Sichen?
Lu Zixun, bound up like a rice dumpling, struggled to lift his head and looked at Gai Tiandi, "She’s the big boss of our family!"
It seemed like there was nothing wrong with saying that.
After all, Yue Sichen herself had said she would look out for him.
"Ding—Detected a smirk value from Gai Tiandi of +12000."
"As the most gifted of the young generation of Blood Worms, to actually have a Spirit Beast pet is truly unimaginable."
Gai Tiandi said something inexplicable, and the Blood Worms binding Lu Zixun loosened.
Only to hear Gai Tiandi speak indifferently, "For the sake of Yue Sichen, I’ll spare your life."
Feeling the killing intent gradually fading from Gai Tiandi, Lu Zixun was stunned.
This scene was just too dramatic, was Yue Sichen really that powerful?
However, Lu Zixun didn’t ponder it much, in case Gai Tiandi changed his mind.
Lu Zixun activated Flash’s speed and ran off; a King-level Abnormal Creature was truly terrifying.
Beside him, Gai Yue, who had recovered, looked at Gai Tiandi with confusion: "Brother, why did you let him go? It is a tri-element Spirit Beast, its talent characteristics must belong to the Demon Spirit Cat Clan, if..."
Before Gai Yue could finish, Gai Tiandi put away the Evil Dragon Tooth, waved his hand, and interrupted her, "If I had killed it, you would have died here too."
"How could that be? With just a move from you, Brother, it’s merely a high-level Spirit Beast..."
"Didn’t you just get defeated by it?"
With a light chuckle, Gai Tiandi explained while ruffling Gai Yue’s head, "It has Long Jiuri’s Superpower Technique on its chest, Blast Ice Glacier. If I had struck, it might not have died, but you certainly would have."
"And... There’s also a mark from Yue Sichen on it, making a move would be too costly."
Hearing these two words, Gai Yue’s pupils shrank, "What is its relationship with Yue Sichen? Blood Worms can only give one mark in their lives, and that’s usually reserved for heirs."
Shaking his head, Gai Tiandi looked up at the sky and sighed, "Keep an eye on that cat in the future, we should leave this place now."
Following Gai Tiandi’s gaze, Gai Yue saw the fading Isolation Array, her brows furrowed deeply.
The end time of the Array was somewhat different from what Ye Changming had said.
Just when Gai Yue wanted to ask Gai Tiandi what had happened, seeing the solemnity on Gai Tiandi’s face, she closed her mouth in silence.
Gai Tiandi, intending to leave with Gai Yue, suddenly encountered a man in a white robe wielding an Ice Sword.
Gai Yue blurted out the man’s identity, trembling as she hid behind Gai Tiandi.
"Our Gu family is merely following orders, and we have no intention of opposing the Abyss. Please spare us, Mr. Long."
Facing Long Jiuri, who was on the verge of becoming an Emperor-level creature, Gai Tiandi really had no pride to speak of and made an apologetic bow first.
Staring coldly at Gai Tiandi, Long Jiuri uttered just three words.
Frowning slightly, after weighing his options, Gai Tiandi sighed, took out the Evil Dragon Tooth, and tossed it to Long Jiuri.
After verifying its authenticity, Long Jiuri looked at Gai Tiandi deeply.
"Take your clanship back to the Crimson Land and stop coveting my cats with your twisted thoughts."
Then he turned and left.
"Is this... an Emperor-level creature?"
Gai Yue, overwhelmed by Long Jiuri’s aura, struggled to catch his breath.
After Long Jiuri had left, Gai Yue gasped for air, looking at Gai Tiandi with eyes filled with humiliation. Gai Tiandi took a deep breath and said, "Let’s go."
Feeling like he just escaped death, Lu Zixun wandered around but couldn’t find Xiong Kang.
He was about to use the silver token when he noticed that the Isolation Array was starting to disappear.
An ecstatic Lu Zixun was about to leave when he accidentally bumped into Ye Changming’s embrace.
Holding the fluffy thing in his hands, Ye Changming’s eyes flashed with a sinister shadow.
Sensing a powerful aura drawing near, he took a deep breath.
With a kindly smile, he looked at Lu Zixun, "How did you end up here, where’s Xiong Kang?"
Hearing Ye Changming speak in such a manner sent a shiver down Lu Zixun’s spine, and he forced a wry smile, "I came to see what you were up to."
Before Ye Changming could respond, an Ice Blade was flung at him.
Ye Changming raised an eyebrow, tossed the cat into the air, and stepped back to dodge the Ice Blade.
"Brother Long, you always have such a unique way of saying hello."
Looking up calmly at Long Jiuri, Ye Changming opened his hands, "But this time, I really didn’t do anything."
Taking advantage of the distraction Lu Zixun provided, Long Jiuri landed in front of Ye Changming and stared at him for a while.
He chuckled softly, "Long time no see, still pretending to be a righteous gentleman, is it amusing?"
At these words, Ye Changming’s face remained undisturbed, a smile on his lips as he looked back at Long Jiuri, "Who can compare to our Brother Long when it comes to being a hypocrite?"
Watching the two of them exchange verbal jabs, Lu Zixun felt a headache coming on. Wasn’t this the time to investigate the vineyard?
Why had they started bickering?
"Report to the headquarters, all those killed by the Ye Family were people parasitized by Abnormal Creatures, and it appears to be the handiwork of the Gu family; they must be aiming to invade Chunhua City."
A person wearing white gloves, resembling a forensic investigator, walked over and reported the investigation findings to Long Jiuri.
Waving the forensic investigator away, Long Jiuri looked intently at Ye Changming, "Clever tactic."
"Brother Long jests, what kind of tactics do I have? I’m just fulfilling the duties I ought to as a member of the STO."
Replying with a smile, Ye Changming hinted, "However, as far as I know, this time the incident seems to be..."
Not finishing his sentence, he glanced at Lu Zixun thoughtfully and then closed his mouth.
"I’m well aware of my cat’s temperament, so I don’t need your concern."
Patting Lu Zixun’s head, Long Jiuri looked at Ye Changming, "However, I’m curious about the Ye Family’s precise capabilities. I must visit and discuss this further someday."
With those words, Long Jiuri picked up Lu Zixun and turned to leave White Cloud Vineyard.
Leaving behind Ye Changming standing in place, his face fluctuating between shades as he watched Long Jiuri’s retreating figure.
"Is it just going to end ?"
Lu Zixun, feeling somewhat short-changed, asked while lying on Long Jiuri’s arm.
"For now, that’s all we can do. I need to rush to get you out of here."
Hearing Long Jiuri say this, Lu Zixun looked at him, full of confusion.
Chuckling softly and patting Lu Zixun’s head, Long Jiuri didn’t bother to explain further.
