Chapter 1198 - 154: Exploration

The threads of the human model were yet to weave into a cocoon when the black cloth monster had already completed the assassination.

An ease that can’t be surpassed.

Whether large or small, pieces of the corpse fell from mid-air, scattering blood like a spray. From the surface, it looked as dead as could be. However, neither the human model nor the black cloth monster paid attention to such surface phenomena — unless it’s some sort of incomplete Level 11, any Level 11 powerful expert has fought their way up from the bottom, and both the intelligence and the keen acumen Wen Yu just displayed were enough to prove that this opponent is not one to be underestimated...

He wasn’t going to die so easily, and neither the human model nor the black cloth monster would make such foolish mistakes.

Therefore, the human model’s threads continued to dance, and the black cloth monster spread its hands again, determined to thoroughly plow every inch of land within a hundred-meter radius to ensure the success of their task.

Just at this moment, the largest chunk of the corpse suddenly began to change.

It first proliferated, growing larger, then coalesced into a complete human form, features reappearing and the power in the body continuously elevating.

"I knew it wouldn’t be that easy."

The black cloth monster was nonchalant, curling its lips, as it unleashed its power once more, solidifying the space around Wen Yu. However, this time, Wen Yu gently twisted his neck. With the twisting of his neck, the powerful flesh collided with the force of the Space Lock, causing a series of intolerable explosive sounds.

The Ultra Mortal Combat had already taken effect, and with the elevation of the physical prowess, the methods just used could no longer fully control Wen Yu’s movements.

"Damn it, just playing around with you, didn’t expect you to go for the kill for real!"

A sharp, child-like voice emitted from "Wen Yu’s" mouth. He watched the human model and the black cloth monster, quickly murmuring as if chanting incantations.

"Dream Come True..."

Faceless hadn’t expected to encounter such formidable foes so soon after being dragged back from Earth by his boss. But it’s fitting; hiding and running for years on Earth, now it’s time to stretch his muscles and bones.

...

Faceless’s return was anticipated.

Actually, once Bai handed Wen Yu ten Level 11 magic crystals, Wen Yu considered recalling Faceless — anyway, Faceless’s mission on Earth wasn’t progressing smoothly, and since the mission target was already secured, there was no point in Faceless staying on Earth.

Family gathered together, that’s a reunion...

Especially given the current perilous situation confirmed by the Demon Palace Security Bureau’s ambush somewhere. Faceless’s role became even more crucial. The presence of a stand-in could be extremely effective at critical moments, and Faceless’s combat capability was highly formidable, making it impossible for Wen Yu to abandon this assistant.

When Wen Yu received Bai’s distress signal, he activated the Heaven-covering Robe’s Aura Concealment, simultaneously transforming Faceless to appear like himself.

Using Faceless as the visible bait, while himself lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, helped greatly in the current passive situation.

Facts proved this method to be quite effective.

Not long ago, when Faceless encountered a fake four-person team, the intelligence was already synchronized to Wen Yu’s ears.

"Two Level 11s, one can control puppets, the other is a space-type powerful expert, both quite skilled. The one controlling puppets is slightly stronger than us in normal states but limited in strength, while the space manipulator’s basic strength is much stronger than ours, but they can’t cause much of a stir if we strike with full force..."

In summary, slightly troublesome but manageable enemies; at least Faceless considered he had the ability to directly take care of these two guys. And that’s why Faceless remained on site, wanting to toy with them, as entangling two Level 11 powerful experts was indeed a merit.

"And Boss, Bai and Ye Nan probably aren’t in any trouble, at least not arrested, but Leoja has been confirmed dead."

From the conversation just now, Faceless could infer that Bai and Ye Nan hadn’t fallen into enemy hands, but whether they’re alive or dead, it’s uncertain.

Upon hearing Faceless’s summary, Wen Yu simply acknowledged, indicating he understood.

"By the way, Boss, if I take down these two guys here..."

Faceless hadn’t finished his sentence, but Wen Yu already guessed Faceless’s intent — he was just thinking of playing a bit bigger.

"You do as you please."

In response, Wen Yu naturally let things go as they may, with no worry about Faceless’s safety — Victor’s Nine Lives and the Soul Realm space’s effect are enough to guarantee Faceless’s safety at any time.

...

Breaking the mental connection with Faceless, Wen Yu looked around.

The area still brimmed with omnipresent energy undercurrents, slightly affecting Wen Yu’s Perception Ability. The Heaven-covering Robe’s Aura Concealment was activated all day, ensuring Wen Yu became a completely invisible specter in such a place.

Faceless could draw most of the security bureau’s attention, a certainty Wen Yu held knowing his main task now was finding Bai’s whereabouts.

Life or death doesn’t matter in such cases...

Bai is alive, the mission continues — in fact, after acquiring historical records of the Demon Tribe, Wen Yu aroused a great interest in the Demon Palace, but if Bai’s death was confirmed, Wen Yu naturally would have no reason to stay.

Exploration is insignificant, and Wen Yu didn’t feel the Demon Palace’s secrets held any importance to him — with this, Wen Yu maintained a sort of laissez-faire attitude.

Taking communication jade token from the space ring, Wen Yu attempted to connect with Bai, yet as expected, the token remained unresponsive, leaving only dim white light to point him toward Bai’s direction.

Southeast... Distance unknown, but seemingly far apart.

Seeing this, Wen Yu exhaled lightly and flew silently toward the distance under the Concealment from the Heaven-covering Robe.

His speed increased steadily, and the token’s light gradually strengthened. However, after nearly 30 minutes of flying, the light suddenly extinguished as if invalid, leaving Wen Yu puzzled, unsure of what transpired. Then the next second, a strange Spiritual Fluctuation inexplicably transmitted to Wen Yu’s mind.

"Here... Here..."

This odd Spiritual Fluctuation seemed to emerge from nowhere, adhering to Wen Yu, constantly emitting some eerie wave, pulling Wen Yu toward a certain location.
