Seeing that Xu Fan hadn't come down yet, the two women, the shadowy girl and the fat fishman, probably sensed some danger and hurriedly ran up to the top floor to check on him.
What they saw was ruins; the once magnificent ceremony venue was now nothing but broken walls and rubble.
It was as if a fierce battle, filled with flashing swords and bloodshed, had taken place here.
However, what the two found very strange was that there were only marks of being hacked and chopped with knives and axes at the scene, but no trace of the mermaid releasing water or ice elemental attacks.
This shows that the opponent acted so quickly that they even exceeded their reaction time; they were killed before the incantation was even finished.
Those fish-headed men in gray robes had already been decapitated.
Without their help, the ritual could not have been completed, but what puzzled both the shadowy sister and the fat-headed fishman was that Xu Fan was standing there, and the direction he was facing was the statue that had been cut in half by a sword.
After the statue collapsed, its original appearance was no longer recognizable. Even the fat-headed fishman next to it had never seen the complete statue and had no way to describe what it looked like.
Xu Fan stood before the statue, speechless for a long time, his heart filled with lingering fear.
The shadowy girl, worried about Xu Fan's safety, immediately came to his side and found that he was spotless and very clean, as if he had never been in a battle.
This shows that Xu Fan didn't fight this battle; someone else took care of the cult members for them.
"Xu Fan, what exactly happened? Did you not kill these people?"
Xu Fan didn't speak; he just shook his head.
He wondered why that person was in such a hurry to destroy the ritual to resurrect the god. Did he really think that a few sea creatures like them could actually summon the evil god sleeping in the sea?
They even had to mobilize the Sword Emperor, one of the Seven Devious Emperors under the Emperor's command.
Although he hadn't seen the other party's true appearance, Xu Fan could vaguely sense the contempt and supreme sword intent emanating from them.
Although Xu Fan himself had already achieved a high level of skill and his strength was no less than that of anyone below the level of the Ghost Emperor, he was still somewhat lacking in the face of absolute power.
The Ghost Emperor he had seen recently was the weakened, barely recognizable Remnant Tooth Wolf Emperor from Fengmen Village.
The false god, disguised as the Queen of Hearts clown, had only just begun to grasp the threshold of becoming the Demon King.
He had only managed to break through to the Ghost Emperor level by relying on the Wolf Clan's secret treasure, the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Moon. However, it was only for a fleeting moment. Now, he could never reach that level again.
Xu Fan clenched his fists, vowing to become stronger to protect those he cherished.
He would not allow today's tragedy to repeat itself. If he were to become panicked and helpless again after being replaced by the man in the yellow robe, he would only end up becoming a victim of someone else's struggle.
"What Night Watch Bureau, what Restoration Society, what cult, you just wait and see. I, Xu Fan, will never submit to you. One day I will make you all trampled under my feet."
Xu Fan realized that he had punched the remaining half of the evil god sculpture.
With a resounding thud, the statue, now only half intact, was reduced to dust.
However, what puzzled everyone was that the remains of the evil god immersed in the cultivation device and the mermaid had both disappeared, and none of the corpses on the ground belonged to them.
It seemed that the Sword Emperor's main purpose in coming here was to take those two items away.
At that moment, the shadowy girl received a phone call.
He had just answered the phone when he heard a violent coughing sound coming from the other end.
"Jack of Spades, our mission here is complete, and we have returned to headquarters. You don't need to worry about us. Just stay by Xu Fan's side. This is the Vice Leader's order!"
The woman in the shadows agreed a few times and then hung up the phone.
Xu Fan's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. He heard every word of their conversation. He knew that the shadowy figure approached him not simply out of personal feelings, but more so because of a mission assigned by the organization.
But Xu Fan didn't care; to him, it didn't matter whether there was one more or one less person.
After tidying up the scene, everyone walked outside. The fat fishman still followed behind Xu Fan, serving him like a little brother.
The same fate befell the member of the biker gang who was lucky enough to survive.
The two became partners and became Xu Fan's professional sycophants.
The fathead fish is quite capable; although it's not very aggressive, it's excellent at healing.
The mucus secreted from his body is a miraculous healing medicine.
When everyone brought the biker gang member out of the secret room.
The fat-headed fishman didn't hesitate to use his slime. He lay directly on top of the biker gang member.
After the other person is covered in sticky mucus.
A flash of blue light, and the biker gang member was restored.
After the biker gang members were allowed to move safely, everyone entered the shadowy sister's shadowy world.
Xu Fan flew directly up, while the shadowy girl moved quickly upwards along the wall.
The group finally reunited in the desert.
The yellow-robed man who had abandoned the darkness for the light, Fatty Wang, Honglian, and Hongyu all watched in astonishment as the biker gang members were restored by the fathead fish's slime.
"I never expected these sea creatures to have such methods. I really underestimated them."
"Yes, now that terror has resurfaced, it doesn't make sense that such mysterious creatures would only appear on land and the surface."
In the vast depths of the sea and the deep forests, who knows what reclusive masters might be hiding.
Wang Pangzi was the first to sense the business opportunity. He took the initiative to approach the fat-headed fishman and obtained some slime from his body.
He plans to take it back and have a friend test it. If it really has a high medicinal content, he can film short videos about the mysterious while also setting up a pharmaceutical factory.
Daisy also suffered a lot here, but she was willing to act with Xu Fan.
After all, he and Xu Fan went to the Bottomless Blood Pool and saw that his parents and elders were living well, so he didn't have any revenge he wanted to take.
This strengthened Daisy's resolve to act alongside Xu Fan, and she followed him and the others.
Xu Fan was also annoyed by the noise and assigned tasks to everyone with a worried look on his face.
First, he renamed his underling, the man in the yellow robe, Ah Huang.
The members of the flying car team changed their names to A-Qiang.
And that fat-headed fishman was called Little Fish.
These three people will be under Fatty Wang's command from now on.
He was in charge of the company's overall operations and planning, while the others assisted him.
