"Little Fatty, are you asking for a beating?!"

Jiang Yuan didn't need to turn around to know who it was; the reason he was waiting here was to wait for Little Fatty.

"No way, is there a female ghost here? You look like you're secretly enjoying yourself!"

The chubby boy, completely encased in dark yellow armor, asked jokingly, then turned around and teased, "But in this world, even female ghosts are afraid of us fierce men!"

"You came pretty fast!" Jiang Yuan stuffed the badge back into his pocket.

"With the whole city under martial law, I have to be ready to answer the call of my oath at any moment!" the chubby boy said smugly.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said seriously, "This operation is special, so it's best to conceal our identities!"

"It's just going to the North City to defend against the beast tide, no problem, I've already prepared!" Little Fatty took out a hideous demon mask, "Look, this mask is much more high-end than yours, it's a good quality fifth-tier mask, comparable to a small piece of armor!"

"Not going to the North City!"

Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on another location, "The southern city is besieged, and the beast tides are endless, one after another. Relying solely on defense will not solve the root cause!"

"Where are we going?" Little Fatty put on the mask and integrated it into the earth-patterned armor.

"The Holy Spirit Pavilion's stronghold!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, looking into the distance. "The Holy Spirit Clan's Formless Pavilion is eyeing the treasures of South City, and all its members have entered the city. Tonight's beast tide is very likely led by the Holy Spirits of the Formless Pavilion! Therefore, they are our target!"

The location of Wuxiang Pavilion was learned from Chen Xinghuai. Because it was a temporary stronghold, there were no Holy Spirit buildings there. Without Holy Spirit buildings, the strength of those Holy Spirits would be greatly weakened.

As for why Ning Yanlan wasn't taken along, and why he even lied to her that they were going to resist the beast tide, it was entirely because he didn't want her to be affected.

Possessing the ten royal bloodlines of the Holy Spirit Clan means bearing the karma of the Holy Spirit Clan. If betrayal occurs, it may cause a severe bloodline backlash. Before resolving the bloodline issue, he did not want Ning Yanlan to deal with any issues related to the Holy Spirit Clan.

"Just the two of us?" Little Fatty was startled.

"That's right!" Jiang Yuan brandished the God-Slaying Spear, its hilt clanging loudly. He confidently declared, "I killed the Vice Pavilion Master of the Formless Pavilion half an hour ago!"

"Ouch, let me catch my breath!" Little Fatty patted his heart, trying to calm down.

“Holy Spirits are not scary. They are just an intelligent race like humans! In fact, they were born from humans. Killing them is no different from killing humans!” Jiang Yuan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

If the Holy Spirit commands the beast tide to attack the city, then he will go and slaughter the Holy Spirit, and we'll see who has the last laugh.

"Alright, I'll take this job!" Little Fatty hoisted his shield.

"Just in case, from now on we'll only use code names, not real names!"

With the plan finalized, the two figures moved like ghosts towards the Holy Spirit stronghold.

The existence of the tattooed armor has replaced the function of the concealment robe. Although the tattooed armor does not have the powerful ability to conceal one's aura as the concealment robe, the tattooed armor is more comprehensive, so abandoning the concealment robe is a necessary thing.

Nan Guishan Tower

"Where's your man?" The shadowy figure landed, glanced at the Chen father and son crouching in the corner, and asked, "Who are these two?"

"It's a long story!"

Ning Yanlan sighed and handed over a storage ring. "This is a soul-repairing treasure prepared for you. Take it and use it first!"

"A love-filled meal! Your man is so good to me!" Leng Yue, like a night elf, casually accepted the storage ring.

"Don't overthink it, he's not that considerate to you!" Ning Yanlan was speechless. Since she started dating Jiang Yuan, she had felt jealousy and rivalry that she had never experienced before, something she could never have imagined before.

Leng Yue shrugged, glanced indifferently at the Chen father and son, and then said, "That's right, this guy will only be nice to you! Look, I've become your personal bodyguard again!"

"Hey, hey, don't underestimate me. You're not even as good as me now! If we're being honest, I should be your bodyguard!" Ning Yanlan retorted. Even if Leng Yue had a passive boost at night, her strength was still on par with hers, and she also had the Heavenly Soul Child in her possession.

"Okay, you're my bodyguard now!" Leng Yue smiled noncommittally.

"You woman, you even take advantage of this little bit!" Ning Yanlan was speechless when she realized what was happening.

The two have a good relationship in private; their bickering is just something they do when they're bored.

While the two women were quietly cultivating under someone's protection, the night in the southern city had already turned upside down.

In the military camp

Why has this beast tide rioted again?

The dignified-looking man at the head of the group had anger brewing in his eyes.

"Reporting to the Commander, we do not yet know the reason!" a half-naked man below replied respectfully.

What is the current situation?

"No need to look anymore, this beast tide uprising was instigated by the Holy Spirit! The southeast gates are relatively secure now, with our troops stationed there, but the situation at the north gate is not good!"

A woman walked in, her high heels clicking as she entered.

"What about the people who were evacuated from the west gate? Send them to the north gate!" the man shouted sternly.

"No!" The woman shook her head with a faint smile.

Why?

"That army needs to conserve its strength; I need it tomorrow!" The woman pursed her red lips, her captivating smile revealing a burgeoning ambition.

"What do you want?"

"Yes, the inheritance of the Invincible Holy Spirit—this will be humanity's closest opportunity to God! Even if the entire Southern City is destroyed, I will control this!"

Who delivered the message to you?

"You don't need to worry about that, just lend me the troops!"

...

"Brother Yuan, are you sure this is it?" The chubby boy wearing a demon mask pointed to an abandoned factory in front of him.
