"Waste! A bunch of waste! Chase them! Even if you have to chase them to the ends of the earth, you must bring them and the information back to me!" The masked man's angry roar echoed in the cave.

On the way back to the Alliance, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Although they successfully brought back key intelligence, everyone felt extremely heavy when they thought of their sacrificed and seriously injured companions, as well as the "Lord of the Underworld"'s horrific plan to destroy the world.

"Leader, what should we do now?" a team member asked, panting. "This 'Underworld Lord's' plan is too crazy. If they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Mou Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Return to the alliance immediately, make the intelligence public, and let everyone recognize the true face of the enemy. Then, gather all the forces that can be assembled. We must completely crush their conspiracy before they launch the 'Final Purification'!"

"But, we just fought with them, and their strength..." another team member said with some concern.

"We have no way out." Mou Xuan interrupted him, "Besides, we are not fighting alone."

At this moment, on the mountain road not far ahead, a figure stood there quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone was shocked and immediately became alert.

When they saw the man's face clearly, Mou Xuan and Shen Yao's pupils shrank slightly.

It turned out to be the traitor!

He had a complicated expression, with an indescribable tiredness and determination on his face. Looking at the wounded Mou Xuan and his group, he slowly said, "Chief Mou, I know where you went, and I can roughly guess what you found. Perhaps, about that 'adult' and his plan, I have... something that you would like to know more about."
