Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: Sifuer’s Choice

"Did you really need to get so angry just because there was no action?" Bai Ze faced Flamel’s low growl, casually wiping away the spit sprayed on his cheek with a handkerchief pulled from his pocket.

"Ha ha ha! You’re asking me why I’m so angry? God! I must be crazy for thinking of collaborating with you. I came earnestly, but you returned my sincerity with repeated breaches. People like you should be hanged! Maybe I should do it right now! Destroying one of your life’s clones would still do significant damage to your true self!" Feeling deceived, Flamel’s expression twisted into a sinister sneer as he threatened repeatedly.

"Whatever! This clone of mine was prepared for the possibility of destruction before coming here to trade. But let me make it clear to you! The responsibility for not taking action this time does not lie with us but with you?"

"Me? What do you mean? I didn’t even show up at the scene! Haven’t I provided you enough information and convenience?" Flamel responded with a low roar to Bai Ze’s counterattack, indicating he might really destroy Bai Ze’s clone here if he didn’t receive a satisfactory answer.

"You should ask your fiancée! Mr. Flamel must have been quite sweet in the land of tenderness recently, sweet enough to lose even the tiniest bit of vigilance! Ha ha ha!" Bai Ze said as he looked at Flamel, whose expression suddenly froze upon hearing this, then continued: "You and I both know why you married that woman, but have you not noticed any change in her attitude towards you recently?" Bai Ze patted his shoulder, stood up, and walked away, saying: "Go back and pay closer attention to your sweet wife! She has detected the transaction between us, she knows, and Pei Yan will soon know, or maybe he already knows! That’s the reason we canceled the plan!"

The image from the crystal ball froze on Flamel’s face twisted with anger and fear after Bai Ze finished speaking, marking the end of the screening.

Watching the light and shadow dissipate from the sky above the crystal ball, Pei Yan extended a finger into his mouth, sucking the sauce off his fingertip. Instead of showing anger at the content of the image, he smiled and commented: "I never saw Bai Ze had the talent to be a director before, the visuals are quite dramatic. I’m more interested in the content of the next two crystal balls now, what do you all think?"

As he spoke, Pei Yan turned to look at the Immortal Palace and Dragon Realm parties. Liu Xuanji chuckled and spoke first: "I also want to see to what extent the Magic Plane can sell us out."

Being a longtime opponent of the Magic Plane, Liu Xuanji naturally would not miss this opportunity to attack the rival, her words immediately raised displeasure among people like Audess.

But before they could voice objections, Jin He Xuan from the Dragon Realm immediately agreed: "Since we have already seen the first, let’s play the rest together! After all, whether wrong or right, let us know the truth of the matter."

"Alright! Let’s see what content this second crystal ball has recorded!" Pei Yan didn’t give the three councils a chance to voice opposition, took out the crystal ball marked with the number two from the box, and activated the content inside by inputting source energy.

As a cloud of mist rose and dispersed, new light and shadow appeared above the light ball. Unlike last time’s fixed scene, this time the image was more like a movie, the scene continuously changed as the crowd moved amid the lens focus.

Pei Yan immediately recognized the protagonist of this team as his friend Sifuer, whom he met in the Hell Plane. This time she had shed her usual luxurious attire, replaced with the streamlined and efficient clothing unique to combat, and was weaving through Council City with her trusted subordinates. To remain hidden, they avoided the main roads and chose narrow alleys between buildings. In places where regular blades couldn’t pass, they chose to transform into particles of mist, fitting through the gaps and rapidly advancing out of the city.

If they continued this way, it wouldn’t be long before they burst out of Council City. If things ended like this, perhaps there wouldn’t be the subsequent tragedy; however, the sudden appearance of a blocker ahead of the team declared the story’s ending prematurely.

"My dear fiancée, what brings you not to be in the council chamber receiving pre-marital bridal etiquette guidance, but instead dressed like a thief, leading a group of rats through the streets at night?" Flamel quietly landed in front of the team, with a group of robed mages behind him blocking Sifuer’s team’s path.

Seeing Flamel suddenly appear in front of her, Sifuer displayed noticeable panic but quickly calmed down, forcing a smile: "Flamel, there’s an emergency in my territory that needs my urgent return to handle."

"Is it so urgent? Not even time to say goodbye to me? I recall your territory’s jurisdiction has been transferred to your younger brother, right? In recognition of your outstanding contributions! The Demon God promoted your Thorn Territory’s nobility status and brought in people from other families to bolster your family’s strength." Flamel mocked, his lips curling.

"Indeed! It’s very urgent, concerning the territory’s safety! My brother is still young, he can’t make the correct judgment on this matter, I have to return to temporarily manage the situation." Sifuer continued to parry with him.

"If it’s so urgent, why choose to leave the city? Looking for spatial rifts and opening channels to return wastes more time. Why not directly use the city’s teleportation array!" Flamel pressed on step by step.

"Hmm~!" Being questioned about her mistake, Sifuer didn’t know how to respond for a moment, then nodded with a forced smile, trying to take the initiative: "I was in such a hurry that I got confused, going through the city’s teleportation array is faster! Mr. Flamel, would you be willing to escort us?"

Sifuer understood that with Flamel blocking the way, directly leaving the city to inform Pei Yan about the danger was impossible. She decided to change the route, first returning to the Hell Plane, then informing the investigation hall personnel stationed there, who might still have time to warn Pei Yan.

"Willing, of course willing! But would that let you have time to notify Mr. Pei Yan? His situation seems very dangerous!"

Upon hearing Flamel speak directly of the matter, Sifuer’s heart filled with despair. If the other party intended to kill, she would hardly escape from Council City alive. But ever unwilling to accept fate, she still prepared for a final hope, subtly signaling her subordinates to get ready to break out while feigning innocence: "Flamel, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Mr. Pei Yan? I heard before coming to Council City that he’s still in the Daoist Plane dealing with the crisis of the Immortal Palace. His situation is dangerous? Is it in the Immortal Palace? Or has he come to the Magic Plane?"
