"It must!! We must collect all the Tiger Talismans!!"

Chen Daowen's eyes sparkled with determination, shaking off the defeat of the past few days. He turned to the Hua brothers and spoke solemnly.

"Brother Hua Yun, Brother Hua Yu, please help me seize the remnant army's Token!"

"What kind of existence gathering all the Tokens can awaken is still unknown, but if you both help me, I guarantee, once we return home, the Hua Family will forever be an ally of our clan!"

"For this, I can make a blood oath as an alliance!!"

"In the future, Chen Daowen and you two brothers shall be bosom friends!!"

Chen Daowen looked at the two with sincere and earnest eyes.

Hua Yun and Hua Yu exchanged a glance, a barely perceptible hint of blood flashed in their eyes.

"The two of us will certainly lend Brother Daowen a hand!!"

Their minds were in sync, speaking in unison.

"Good!!" Chen Daowen's eyes burned like a torch. The tension that had gripped his Heart and Spirit for days suddenly relaxed.

However, just in that relaxed moment.

Buzz!!

Hua Yun's eyes flashed with a red light, which shot directly into Chen Daowen's eyes.

Chen Daowen had no time to react, only feeling as if his entire Heart and Spirit were enveloped by three indescribably massive figures, and his consciousness instantly sank into slumber.

"This guy had been guarding against us all along, but he still exposed a flaw."

Hua Yun looked at the fallen Chen Daowen and kicked him unceremoniously. The kick, with no restraint, sent Chen Daowen crashing into a large tree, the force instantly shattering the ancient wood.

"Utterly foolish, utterly stupid, this commoner dared to use sir's head as a wager. I'll cut off his head now!"

On the side, Hua Yu's eyes were cold, transforming his hand into a sword, slicing through an artery, blood oozing out and transforming into a sharp long blade hovering in midair.

The long blade flashed out instantly, heading straight for Chen Daowen's head.

"Stop!!"

Seeing Chen Daowen's head about to fall, Hua Yun intervened.

Hua Yu paused, looking at Hua Yun as if waiting for an explanation.

Hua Yun cleared his throat: "Sir had previously clashed with Chen Yuan outside, a branch of Chen Daowen's Chen Family. With sir's wisdom, there must be profound meaning in everything!"

"The Chen Family has always hidden secrets; their rise was too rapid. The Church has always been curious about the mystery of the Chen Family's rise. Sir must want to uncover the Chen Family's secrets through Chen Daowen!"

Upon hearing Hua Yun's words, a wave of madness surged in Hua Yu's eyes.

"Sir actually thought this deeply!!"

"I originally thought sir only argued with Chen Yuan to act more like a young Martial Artist, but I was naive!"

Hua Yu said excitedly.

"Of course, sir is the walking representation of the three gods on earth. His wisdom is unfathomable to the likes of us. Without sir, Bakalu's faith would have infiltrated the Spirit Church!"

"The followers on Ancestor Star are ignorant, even misunderstanding sir.

Thankfully, our deacon always believes and reveres sir. Sir even said the deacon is the only one who understands him."

Mentioning Su Tu, the eyes of the two brothers filled with endless admiration and anticipation.

"Fortunately, fortunately, you stopped me, otherwise I would have ruined sir's grand plan!"

"So what should we do now?"

Hua Yu was captivated by Hua Yun's wisdom, not daring to make decisions for fear of spoiling Su Tu's plans.

"Of course, we bring Chen Daowen to sir. If sir wishes, we also gather all the Tiger Talismans for him!"

"What about the mission given to us from above?"

"First find sir, then leave it to him to decide. We serve as vanguard for sir, which is the highest honor."

"Alright!"

Saying this, they set into motion, one dragging Chen Daowen like a dead dog, the other placing the Tiger Talismans on themselves.

They began searching for their highly respected...sir....

...

"Hmm? The presence is gone!"

Su Tu paused for a moment. Earlier, the Heart and Spirit of Chen Daowen vanished from the Tiger Talisman; before the connection was completely severed, he sensed an extremely familiar aura.

Twisted, bizarre, evil, like a conglomeration of all negative emotions.

That aura was unmistakable—it was...

"Three Deceits Cult!"

Su Tu's gaze suddenly changed. He hadn't forgotten the words of the number one Spirit Host: the Training Camp had members of the Three Deceits Cult.

He had informed Li Hu about this, and during the selection process, many followers were captured.

But intuition told Su Tu that the methods of the Three Deceits Cult couldn't be so simple; he suspected someone was lurking in the Training Camp.

Yet, he didn't expect it to be there already at this time.

"Was your true target never the ordinary trainees, but infiltrating through the great families!"

Su Tu's eyes flickered slightly.

Presently, Su Tu most desired to eradicate the Three Deceits Cult, his Blood Moon could devour the Status of the three gods.

The two were destined mortal enemies. Seizing the opportunity when the opponent was unaware, he aimed to strengthen himself treading on the corpses of the Three Deceits Cult, achieving sufficient power before they reacted.

Although Su Tu displayed strong combat power, he was acutely aware that in front of truly terrifying entities, he was, at best, a slightly stronger ant.

But an ant is still an ant; a flick of the finger can crush it, regardless of strength.

Therefore, what Su Tu needed most now was time; he had to become stronger quickly.

Su Tu slowly halted his steps. If it was a Three-Deceit Cultist, he need not seek them out actively; he believed they would come to find him.

For no other reason than, he is...sir.

"We're about to fully enter the ruins." Su Tu looked to the sky.

Upon the dome, sealed predatory Exotic Beasts became increasingly lively. Though mostly beings of Peeping Branch and Mingtiao life levels, their sheer numbers were staggering, even more so considering the additional Exotic Beasts within the mountains.

A foreboding sense of impending calamity weighed on Su Tu's heart.

Just then.

An abrupt mutation occurred!!

Su Tu felt a chill at his heart. Lowering his head, he saw a long blade piercing through his chest.

"Finally succeeded!!"

"You've killed quite a few Exotic Beasts these days, accrued plenty of Evil Qi, and now it's all mine~"

A somewhat shrill voice sounded behind Su Tu.

A short Martial Artist sprang out with a sinister grin, his emergence strangely like he had torn through space.

Watching Su Tu with a pierced heart, he couldn't resist a chilling chuckle.

Even as his eyes swept over Su Tu, there was a hint of fear in them.

He couldn't be blamed; he had specialized means to briefly conceal himself, such that even those whose Heart and Spirit were much higher than his couldn't detect his presence.

Relying on this method, he had ambushed many Exotic Beasts and Martial Artists, gaining many benefits, and today he had set eyes on Su Tu.

With a casual punch, he'd just annihilated a mighty Exotic Beast. This man must possess an immense amount of Evil Qi.

He knew an obscure rule, presently unknown to others: Killing a Martial Artist grants all their Evil Qi.

Thus, he targeted Su Tu, cautiously hiding, fearing even the slightest misstep that might get him subdued by Su Tu.

Only a moment ago did he find the opportunity to strike, shattering the heart from behind, before daring to reveal himself.

"Hehe, such a treasure. Thanks to you, even a vicious character like you meets his end at my hands."

He looked down at a bead hanging from his neck, stroking it a few times.

Strangely, a smile still lingered on Su Tu's face; an unplanned glance was enough to give him quite a fright.

"Damn!! Why be scared; is it possible for someone with a destroyed heart to live? Probably laughing even in death, a true freak!" he muttered, reassuring himself.

However, a slightly mocking voice echoed in his ear.

"Finally lured you out, huh."
