Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216: Wen Rui’s Unease
Capital District, in an unknown deep mountain.
Here lies a large containment facility, where some monsters with research value and some dangerous containment items are placed.
Additionally, beneath this facility, the Catastrophe-Level containment item, the Nest of Destruction, is sealed.
However, at this moment, the facility has already been leveled.
The things inside were either dead or escaped, not one in ten remained.
Not only this facility, but the entire mountain has even disappeared, turning into a huge basin. The ground shakes could be felt as far as a nearby province.
A transmigrator was once held here, but he was directly crushed into ashes by immense power.
The reason it became like this is that more than one Catastrophe-Level expert was fighting here.
Xun Ying stood on the giant sword hilt, watching the two shadows flee into the distance, exhaling a long breath.
According to the information provided by Wen Wen, this was the key attack point of the Secret Organizations Alliance, so Xun Ying was guarding here.
Originally, the Magical Beast Star Qilin was also supposed to guard here, but Wen Wen was the primary attack target, so the Magical Beast Star went to Wen Wen first.
As soon as the battle at Wen Wen’s side broke out, two Catastrophe-Level experts attacked here simultaneously.
One was the legendary desert bandit from the Aifei Region, Sha Xie Tulam, the arch-enemy of the Sand Sea Priest, and the other was the Capital Feng Ghost God who was supposed to be asleep in Ghost City.
He shouldn’t have left Capital Feng, but the Secret Organizations Alliance used some method to free the Ghost God from the shackles of Ghost City.
The two attacked together, and Xun Ying couldn’t hold them off alone.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Pioneer Six Zero and the Magical Beast Star arrived just in time, otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand the attacks of the two Catastrophe-Level experts.
“Is that thing alright?” The Magical Beast Star asked, knowing from the Hunter Association’s description that it was a very dangerous containment item.
Xun Ying shook his head: “I wasn’t the only one guarding here, Ye Haimo has been down there all along. As long as there is any movement from the Nest of Destruction, he will notify me.”
“Since we know their target, they can forget about taking the item easily.”
Upon learning that the Nest of Destruction was secure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, though they still needed to go down and investigate.
However, when they entered, their expressions all changed dramatically.
Where the Nest of Destruction should have been was empty, and in the enormous seal, it was Ye Haimo who lay unconscious.
“He’s a Catastrophe-Level after all; subduing him silently is nearly impossible…”
Xun Ying’s face looked grim. The one who took away the Nest of Destruction might pose a threat far greater than the Nest itself.
To break the seal would take at least a day, and the truth of what happened wouldn’t be known until then.
…
Garcia did not return to the Secret Organizations Alliance’s base but directly hid in the Abyss Eye’s lair.
This was a secret base of the Abyss Eye, located in a chamber two thousand meters underground, absolutely safe for recuperation.
She planned to recover fully before seeking revenge on Wen Wen.
Until her injuries healed, she wouldn’t appear in front of other Catastrophe-Level experts, trusting no one but herself.
Once healed, she would enact her revenge on Wen Wen, letting him know how terrifying it was to anger the Abyss Eye.
The useless Profane Blood, who gave her the wrong information, and the Secret Organizations Alliance would all pay the price for her injuries.
“You… failed.”
A man’s voice appeared, causing Garcia, who was lying on the ground, to jump up and look warily at the man who had suddenly appeared before her.
“Your opponent was that kid who just gained Mastery of Catastrophe Power not long ago. With Fu Yin’s help, they didn’t even destroy a single building, really disappointing.”
Standing in front of Garcia was a man with a graceful appearance wearing glasses, none other than the nominal leader of the Secret Organizations Alliance, the Great Sage of the Truth Society!
“How did you find this place?” Garcia asked warily.
The Great Sage shook his head: “Is it difficult to find this place? To me, there are few secrets in this world, while you… are transparent in my eyes, without any secrets.”
“Besides, that’s not the point. The point is that I’m very disappointed in you. After failing the mission, hiding here to lick your wounds is just too disgraceful.”
Garcia said coldly: “You don’t understand that guy’s strength at all. We were both suppressed by him even when working together.”
“Besides, don’t just talk about me, you went to get the Nest of Destruction, didn’t you? Did you get it?”
The Great Sage smiled slightly: “I’m not a waste like you; of course, I got the Nest of Destruction. Another piece of the puzzle for destroying world order is in place.”
“Then what are you doing here with me? Since you got it, go prepare for the next action.” Garcia’s tone was very strong, not wanting the Great Sage to find out she was injured.
“You, hiding after getting hurt, are of no help to my plan. So I think you should contribute differently to the grand cause of overthrowing order.”
“What way?”
The Great Sage’s appearance suddenly became extremely terrifying, with skin rapidly decaying, eyes falling out, and bizarre semi-transparent tentacles flying out from his eye sockets. The gentle and graceful Great Sage instantly turned into a horrifying monster.
“Become my nourishment!”
…
Wen Rui walked in the library, frowning deeply.
He was now a professor of the Truth Society, but the Great Sage ordered him not to participate in battles, just to read books.
Apart from him, all the other professors were very busy.
For Wen Rui, who dedicated everything to knowledge, not having to go to the battlefield was actually a good thing.
However, he found it hard to settle down and study new things, not because he was concerned about the world or had romantic entanglements, but because he felt the current atmosphere of the Truth Society seemed unsuitable for learning.
Previously, this large library was always full, and people were eager to learn.
Now, although there were still many people here, Wen Rui felt like they were completing a task rather than learning.
This feeling made Wen Rui feel a little strange, as if he suddenly didn’t fit in with the Truth Society anymore.
Unable to study in peace, Wen Rui simply stopped, walked out of the large library, and found a secluded place to sit quietly.
This place had become the headquarters of the Secret Organizations Alliance, with members of other organizations constantly coming here to stand by.
Suddenly, he saw the Great Sage returning from outside and quickly paid his respects. After the Great Sage left, he became intrigued by a pair of Profane Blood members who were in conversation.
These two seemed to be chatting, but were actually just putting on a show.
Why did this feeling arise?
Wen Rui recalled the Great Sage’s usual demeanor, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and seemed to understand something.
