...
For Baiyu, this was his first time being transmitted through a hand-drawn Spirit Array.
The usual method of transmission.
Was always to go through the Shelter's Teleportation Gate.
When the dizziness of the transmission passed, Baiyu opened his eyes again, finding himself in a hall constructed of black metal.
Beside him.
Erza, floating in mid-air, looked at Baiyu curiously, as well as the large group of people lying behind him.
"This matter is a bit complicated to explain. Let's wake these people up first and then talk."
Baiyu explained.
Soon.
Everyone gradually woke up.
During this time, Baiyu had already notified the Anomaly Bureau.
Although He Jin had pressing matters, with such an important incident happening, he had no choice but to come.
Originally, Baiyu was tracking a traitor.
However.
He accidentally fell into the Tidal World.
In the end, the investigation into the traitor was interrupted, failing at the critical moment.
Nevertheless.
The whereabouts of Grey Rock Count were roughly found, but Zhang Gai said that the people who ambushed Baiyu were orchestrated by Grey Rock Count, which hasn't been confirmed yet.
The current Grey Rock Count.
After being corrupted by evil entities, his mind is already bewildered, unable to distinguish even one, two, three, four.
To be able to retrieve a life.
Is already a result of immense fortune and luck.
If Baiyu didn't need him to prove the situation of the Tidal World, he wouldn't have cared about his life or death while leaving.
However.
Since the opponent has had contact with evil entities.
Just this alone already proves that he's definitely not a good person.
In the pursuit of the traitor.
Following the trail of the nobles, there might be unexpected gains.
...
Night, the warm breeze was rustling.
Although it was already winter, in the No Darkness Realm, it remained warm.
Mountain City was sheltered by a Spirit Array.
Thus, the environment is naturally simulated by the Spirit Array to resemble conditions on Canglan Star, with day and night, suitable for human habitation.
Of course.
Due to the special weather in the No Darkness Realm.
Temperatures are generally much higher than on Canglan Star.
So even though it's winter on Canglan Star, in Mountain City, it remains very warm.
Martial Artists and pedestrians walking on the street.
Are mostly lightly dressed in plain clothes.
"Dragon Head Sir, ahead is the location sent by Qiao Wan sisters. Do you think we haven't contacted them for a long time, is it necessary to..."
In front of a middle-aged man.
A man with a hunched waist and shifty eyes was plotting strategies.
However.
Despite saying a mouthful, the middle-aged man didn't pay any attention. Only after he finished speaking did the man lightly say: "Qiao Ying and Qiao Wan are disciples I personally trained. They are loyal to the Dragon Source. They couldn't possibly betray."
After saying this, the man waved his sleeve, preventing further conversation.
The two proceeded on the street.
Turning left and right, they came to a small tavern for dining. The tavern was called Return Customers, catering not only to ordinary people but also to Martial Artists.
You could tell just from its menu.
It not only offered normal dishes for ordinary people but also food for Martial Artists that replenishes Blood Qi.
The middle-aged man and his companion stepped inside.
After looking around, they quickly arrived at a corner seat on the second floor, which provided a view of the pedestrians on the street below.
At the seat.
Sitting there was a woman in a mask, dressed decoratively.
Seeing her.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, quickly taking a seat opposite her.
"Dragon... Dragon Head Sir!"
Sitting at the seat.
Qiao Ying, seeing that it truly was the Dragon Head himself, was instantly overwhelmed with excitement and surprise, her intense emotions almost uncontrollably expressed.
The middle-aged man faintly smiled: "Not bad, I heard you sisters were in trouble, so I personally came to have a look. You are among the Elite of Dragon Source, also the successors of the next generation Dragon Head. Naturally, I can't just sit by and watch."
Hearing him say this.
Qiao Ying was even more excited.
Compared to the recent time, Baiyu's harsh words and constant threats using their weaknesses, Dragon Source indeed felt as warm as home to them.
Dragon Head Sir.
Indeed is a sentimental and reasonable person.
"Dragon Head Sir, actually our life is not in immediate danger right now, but because of the leverage Baiyu holds over us, we find it hard to break away."
After calming down, Qiao Ying realized the current situation of the two sisters and regained her composure.
"Leverage? Who dares to threaten my Dragon Source people?"
Slam!
The Dragon Head slammed his hand on the pear wood table, causing a crack, forming a deep handprint.
"This matter⦠Sir, we don't know how to explain it either."
Qiao Ying displayed a troubled expression.
The situation with Baiyu was indeed quite complicated. From the start, it really wasn't Baiyu's fault; he was originally unrelated to them.
It was because the two sisters wanted to use his identity to conveniently leave the city.
Which led to them getting discovered.
This resulted in the current embarrassing situation.
Over the recent time, the two sisters had tried many ways to remove the Enlightenment Society's markings from their arms, but to no avail.
However.
Though Qiao Ying thought this way.
The Dragon Head didn't know the ins and outs of the situation.
He picked up a teacup from the table, filled it, and said in a cold voice: "I've already looked into the person controlling you two sisters. He's a youngster named Baiyu, right?"
"Yes, he's not very old."
Qiao Ying replied truthfully.
"Hmph, these young people these days don't know the heights of the sky, daring to mess with the Dragon Source. I'm here to personally have a talk with that Baiyu."
The Dragon Head exuded unparalleled momentum.
Qiao Ying frowned, worriedly saying: "Sir, that Baiyu is proud and ambitious, he might not talk with you."
She spoke very tactfully.
Baiyu is definitely not someone who would suffer a loss.
Moreover.
With the Dragon Head's identity, there would definitely be no equitable, fair conversation with Baiyu. He would inevitably be overbearing.
By then.
A conflict might break out instantly.
The two might be at each other's throats.
Given Baiyu's identity and temperament, he would definitely not step back or endure. Recently, Baiyu had been eagerly waiting for someone from the Dragon Source to arrive so he could exploit the situation.
By that time.
In Mountain City, if the Dragon Head clashed with Baiyu, they will surely suffer the consequences.
Not to mention his noble identity, just being the Chief of the Security Bureau is enough to intimidate anyone.
Mountain City is a major city of the East Prosperity Imperial.
In the shadows.
Numerous powerful figures abound.
If anyone dares to challenge official authority, they'll be taught a lesson quickly.
Not to mention Baiyu also has a Legendary Ship, which is the most absurd part. In recent days, he used the Legendary Ship to obliterate people, and no one dares to challenge his might yet.
In summary.
Qiao Ying really doesn't have much hope for the Dragon Head.
If it were elsewhere, they might be able to contend with Baiyu.
However.
In Mountain City, Baiyu is now truly in an invincible position.
"Qiao Ying, don't you trust me?"
At this moment.
The Dragon Head flashed a trace of displeasure on his face, with a cold smile, said: "A mere youngster, when I was cultivating, he hadn't even been born yet, and now he dares to challenge me? Rest assured, I've already understood before I came. Though he has some identity, his actual strength is laughable."
Qiao Ying suddenly felt a bit fatigued.
Seeing this.
It was clear the Dragon Head wouldn't give up easily.
No matter her persuasion, it wouldn't have much effect.
Forget it.
Let him try.
If he can persuade Baiyu, the two sisters will be relieved as well.
"By the way, where's Qiao Wan?"
"She's in the Earl's Mansion. I was able to come out because I was doing tasks for Baiyu outside. It's the marking he placed on us that controls us, and we have no choice but to comply."
Qiao Ying rolled up her sleeve, revealing the Enlightenment Society symbol.
The Dragon Head frowned, "That brat even knows some exotic techniques, but such petty tricks are nothing to me. I can dispel it now."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ying's face showed a joyful expression: "Thank you, Dragon Head Sir."
"It's a trivial matter."
The Dragon Head confidently smiled, lightly extending his hand, which was filled with surging Blood Qi.
"These markings are mere minor tricks, vastly different from the marks left by deities. Dispel!"
The Dragon Head's eyes widened, suddenly exploding with Blood Qi as he wiped it across Qiao Ying's wrist.
