Baiyu heard this sentence, remained silent for a moment, and his facial expression was very rich.
It was as though there was a constant struggle in his heart.
The man in black saw his hesitation and couldn't help but say, "Chief Bai, you must seize the opportunity.
Otherwise, when disaster strikes, don't blame me for not warning you."
Soon.
The dream dissipated.
Baiyu opened his eyes, and in the room, apart from Qiong Xue, Shang Yufei, and two clan elders of the Qiong Clan, there was no one else.
Indeed.
The dream just now was the mastermind unable to hold back, starting to reveal their hand.
Baiyu was the chief of the Anomaly Bureau, wielding control over a Legendary Ship and holding the title of Count.
Not to mention.
He also had actual military power in his hands.
In any respect, Baiyu's value is higher than Guang Yuanba.
The other side.
It was probably after confirming he was poisoned that these thoughts arose.
The original foreign race defection.
Was about choosing those who could be completely controlled, slowly leading them to depravity, playing them in the palm of their hand.
Baiyu's condition.
Couldn't be more suitable.
"This is the first time they found me.
Once the physicians are summoned and prove useless, the mastermind will surely come again.
That's when it's time to close the net."
Baiyu thought to himself.
This matter must be approached gradually; haste will not achieve success.
...
Outside Mountain City, in the Heavy Fog Forest.
Within the Spirit Realm.
Mountain City belongs to the Realm of Absolute Darkness.
There is always a sun in the sky, shining brightly.
Therefore, the plants in this realm grow extremely lush.
Even an ordinary tree can grow as wide as several people encircling it.
The green and luxuriant foliage stretches as far as the eye can see.
The forest outside Mountain City is constantly shrouded in white mist.
This forest extends for hundreds of miles, filled with countless spirit arrays, mechanisms, traps, and military camps.
Firmly controlled by Mountain City.
And within the forest.
There are also many exotic beasts and poisonous insects, areas enveloped by poisonous fog.
These natural barriers, if ordinary armies set foot here, would leave no bones behind.
Many exotic beasts.
Even the army of Mountain City is reluctant to provoke them.
Not all exotic beast species are controlled by foreign races.
In fact.
The stronger the exotic beast, the harder it is to control and manipulate.
This is the nature of all creatures.
Mountain City marks the positions of these ferocious exotic beasts clearly, naturally avoiding them.
But if invaders come, unaware of the conditions within the Heavy Fog Forest, they will inevitably trespass into the territories of these powerful exotic beasts.
By that time.
They will surely suffer heavy losses.
The entire Heavy Fog Forest has been fortified by Mountain City into an impenetrable fortress.
If the Shell People Race and Demon Race wanted to launch a frontal assault, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However.
The two races do have some plans in place.
In the eastern part of the Heavy Fog Forest, within a sentry camp.
Although soldiers from the Armed Department guard outside, the inside is a completely different scene.
Unlike an ordinary camp.
The facilities inside are luxurious, and the defense is strict.
There are even Tier Four and Tier Five Martial Artists active within.
Even the guards are Tier Six Martial Artists.
Deep inside the camp in a cave.
There are sentries every five steps, guards every ten steps.
"The plan within Mountain City is already in place. We just await Master Zi Ling's command to take action immediately."
At this moment.
A Demon Race member with six horns sneered coldly.
At the stone table in the cave.
Several individuals were analyzing and studying the map on the table, marked with red circles indicating the dangerous spots within the Heavy Fog Forest, leaving no defensive point unchecked.
If this specially marked map falls into the hands of the Shell People Race or Demon Race.
It would be a devastating blow to Mountain City.
There were six people in the room.
The three Demon Race members were easily identifiable, all with six horns, broad and strong, with both men and women having purple skin.
The other three were also very distinctive, highly recognizable.
Although these three looked similar to the Human Race in facial features, each had a black shell on their back.
Like a turtle.
This is the characteristic of the Shell People Race.
Every Shell People Race member is born with a shell, which provides strong protection by allowing them to retreat into it during danger.
Just as the number of horns signifies the strength of the Demon Race.
The Shell People Race.
Determines their strength by the number of lines on their back.
Foreign races are different from humans.
In general, the older the foreign race, the stronger it is; there is no phenomenon of new generations surpassing the old.
The six individuals present.
The three six-horned Demon Race members were each nearly as powerful as Tier Four Martial Artists.
The three thousand-line Shell People Race members possessed comparable strength.
These six are the intelligence heads of Mountain City, holding the information of various human traitors and spies as well.
This attack by the two races.
Is because an unprecedented turmoil in the Spirit Realm is on the horizon.
They must capture Mountain City, tear down this strong fortress, and open the passage to the Canglan Star.
Canglan Star.
They must seize it.
It is an area of the Spirit Realm and a place where one can contact the "Outer World."
Completely different from the deathly silent Spirit Realm.
"I heard from your Demon Race that you lost an important figure just last night. Can you really succeed?"
After the six-horned Demon Race member spoke.
A thousand-line male Shell People Race member spoke up.
The Shell People Race has clear hierarchies, generally determined by the number of lines on their shell.
In order: ten lines, hundred lines, thousand lines, ten thousand lines, and so on.
A thousand-line Shell People Race member.
Is at least equivalent to the nobles in the Human Race.
Those capable of acting as spies and intelligence heads are undoubtedly competent.
Although the two races are united.
They are also secretly competing, vying for power and benefits.
At this moment.
Hearing the Shell People Race's inquiry, the six-horned Demon Race member said coldly, "Indeed, Guang Yuanba, this useless fool, even with the evil artifacts provided by us Demons, perished last night, without causing any harm to the Mountain City Guardian Spirit."
With this said.
The thousand-line Shell People Race member asked again, "You had previously agreed to deal with the Guardian Spirit yourselves."
"Hmph, what of the Guardian Spirit? These Guardian Spirits who have lived from ancient times to the present, how much power do they truly possess?
Many of their memories are likely already fragmented.
If they can utilize one or two tenths of their ability, it's already good.
Even though we failed to capture the Guardian Spirit.
However.
We found another breakthrough point."
"Hmm? What breakthrough point?" the Shell People Race member asked.
"The Chief of the Security Bureau, one of the Three Departments of Mountain City, Baiyu.
He has been controlled by our Demon Race's Charm Control Master and will soon pledge allegiance."
The six-horned Demon Race member spoke with confidence, instantly stunning the surroundings.
Baiyu's reputation has been gradually spreading.
This person is tremendously important.
Even those who don't want to pay attention have to take notice.
Among the Three Departments.
The two races focus more on Baiyu than on Qiu Yun and He Jin.
"Do you really have a way to turn Baiyu?"
The Shell People Race member was somewhat doubtful.
The six-horned Demon Race member was confident: "Of course, we've dealt with Baiyu before.
Within the city, there are even our people by his side!
This time.
He will surely fall into our control."
