In the darkness, the lights at the entrance stood out conspicuously.
Yu Rui's red dress added a touch of eeriness to the atmosphere.
However, when Hope appeared, the surrounding light seemed to dim.
Even Yu Rui felt a bit suppressed at this moment and couldn't meet Hope's gaze at all.
Yu Rui let out a long breath and met Hope's gaze again, showing no sign of fear, as if Hope were just an ordinary person.
Hope looked at her with a hint of admiration.
To not feel fear upon first seeing a demigod—that's truly remarkable.
“Vice Leader,” Hope repeated, then sneered, “Is your leader trying to intimidate me?”
Yu Rui shook her head: "I wouldn't dare."
"The Lord of the Sect values you highly, and the reason he did not come in person is simply because it is not the right time yet."
"Oh?" Hope raised an eyebrow, emanating an invisible sense of pressure.
"The Lord instructed me to wait here." Unaffected, Yu Rui continued, "The Lord told me to inform you that there will be a battle at sea at noon tomorrow."
World War I?
Hope paused for a moment: "It seems that it's not just you, your leader is also very bold."
"But why should I cooperate with the Creation Church?"
His gaze shifted from Yu Rui to the city behind them.
"You yourself said that the city has completely become the trump card of the Creation Cult. In that case, why should I bother to cooperate with you?"
Qin Sheng had already given Yu Rui an answer to his question.
"Because of gene technology."
Yu Rui slowly said, "Tomorrow at noon, after you and the master have determined the winner, if the Creation Cult loses, the gene technology will be handed over in full."
Hope's gaze sharpened.
He could indeed destroy the Creation Cult right now, and destroy this city.
But the cult leader is very likely not here now. Destroying Creation City will not bring them any benefits, only fame.
Conversely, if they go to see the cult leader again tomorrow, the genetic technology they obtain could allow Eagle City to completely surpass other cities.
Even he himself, after fusing with the genes of alien beasts, might become invincible among those of the same level!
The temptation Qin Sheng offered was one he couldn't refuse!
Yu Rui calmly observed the emotional changes in Hope's eyes, and the hint of greed in them was particularly noticeable.
But she remained calm.
Even though her opponent was one of only two demigods among humans, she didn't think Qin Sheng would lose.
“It’s very tempting,” Hope questioned. “But how do I know that tomorrow’s appointment isn’t something you’re deliberately stalling for time to buy your escape?”
Yu Rui said calmly, "The stronghold of the Creation Cult is here. I believe Mr. Hope can also sense the presence of the Taotie in the city."
"If I were to leave, you would notice immediately, wouldn't you?"
Hope nodded, sensing the faint aura of the Taotie.
Clearly, Taotie did not hide itself.
"It seems I have no reason to refuse."
Yu Rui nodded: "Then, Mr. Hope, I'll take my leave now."
"etc."
Hope can't just think about Eagle City; he's now a representative of humanity, and he has to do things too.
"Tell your leader that if you surrender at sunrise, you can avoid death."
"good."
Yu Rui turned and walked into the city gate, and then with a rumble, the heavy city gate slowly closed.
This may be the last time the city gates close.
Hope looked thoughtfully at the gate, and understood what the Creation Cult meant.
The so-called challenge was merely a way out for the Creation Cult; they were not confident in facing a demigod.
I believe that when he meets the cult leader tomorrow, he will naturally seek cooperation with Flying Eagle City.
As for whether a fight would break out, Hope had not considered that possibility, much less the possibility that she would lose.
Because he is a demigod!
With a flash, he had returned to the side of the many Venerable Ones.
“If the Creation Cult does not surrender at sunrise, I will take action at noon.”
Hope left a message and disappeared from their sight with Tangmu.
"You already know the situation; how you manage to keep it from the other cities is up to you."
Tang Mu lowered his head and pondered. After obtaining the gene technology, he also had to consider whether or not to keep his current followers.
As Dean Mo envisioned the future in Flying Eagle City, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Creation Cult has always been a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and they never knew when it would fall. Now, they can finally resolve this.
After a long silence, Ye Bufan spoke up: "Dean, what about Qin Sheng and Yu Rui?"
Dean Mo's expression was complicated, and his shaking his head said it all.
What they need to do now is to prevent future troubles and avoid creating unnecessary complications.
As Venerable Xu just said, infiltrating Creation City is suicidal, and that hint of sorrow just now proved that point.
If we want to save people again, probably only a demigod could do it.
Ye Bufan didn't say anything, seemingly preparing to give up.
"Dean, I'll head back to the rear now."
"Go."
After walking for a while, Ye Bufan stopped and moved in another direction.
A moment later, Qi Jie's voice rang out: "Old Fan, you're too slow."
Qi Jie, Han Jisheng, and Ye Qianqing emerged from the darkness.
Ye Bufan's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Qi Jie with questioning eyes.
"Don't look at him," Ye Qianqing said coldly. "I know what you're up to the moment you bend over."
Qi Jie and Han Jisheng looked helpless.
"Sister, this is dangerous," Ye Bufan couldn't help but dissuade her.
"So what?" Ye Qianqing countered, "How am I going to explain this to my parents when I get back?"
Under the natural advantage of their bloodline, Ye Bufan finally compromised and led the three of them slowly toward the location of the Creation Sect.
His idea was simple.
Taking advantage of the battle between the Demigod of Tomorrow and the Creation Cult, they seized the opportunity to infiltrate Creation City, find Qin Sheng and the others, and then quickly evacuate.
In the darkness, Venerable Xu's figure was hidden under his cloak, watching the four people who were moving cautiously.
Stop them?
Venerable Xu had this thought, then shook his head.
No need.
When the demigod makes his move tomorrow, just make sure he's a little careful. For now, let these kids give it their all.
Otherwise, it's not good to leave behind inner demons.
The attempt to stop them by fate failed, and it could not shake Ye Bufan and the others' resolve. They could only watch helplessly as they walked into the lion's den.
rustle…
The leaves rustled, and a serpent hung from a treetop, its contracted pupils fixed on the direction where Ye Bufan and the others had left.
Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow. "So bold?"
Given their situation, they'll probably be discovered as soon as they reach the city gate.
However, Qin Sheng did not stop him. He wanted to see if the interference of fate was only in his thoughts.
A moment later, Ye Bufan and his group successfully infiltrated Creation City.
Those cultists with sensory abilities seemed to be blind, always exposing their blind spots to Ye Bufan and the others.
"That's interesting. What are you going to do?"
Qin Sheng squinted. If they really wanted to stop Ye Bufan, they could have easily influenced a cultist of average strength at the city gate to discover them, thus scaring Ye Bufan away.
But fate didn't do that; it probably had other plans.
