"The subordinate of the Tower Lord..."

Upon hearing this somewhat familiar phrase, Yun You paused slightly, but quickly understood the identity of the Great Monk.

"Are you from the Tower Race?!!"

The Tower Race, a force that once wielded considerable influence in Nest City.

With their unique deity beliefs and sacrificial techniques, the Tower Race could even contend with the Apprentice Death God group to some extent.

But later, for some unknown reason, they were wiped out overnight, at least publicly, they were annihilated.

Yun You originally had no connection with these people.

However, during a previous mission, she accidentally eliminated a subordinate of the Tower Race, namely Qian Sanjin, the Insect Gang boss who lent high-interest loans to civilians, and defeated a flesh avatar of a Tower Lord—Smiling Awakened One·Nan Jia.

Since then, she had been entangled with these people.

She knew the Tower Race would find her sooner or later, but she didn't expect it would be at this moment.

"Does the benefactor know about the Tower Race?"

The Great Monk Miao Jue was a bit surprised but quickly came to terms with it.

"Thinking about it, it seems normal. After all, for you to be so young and become an Apprentice Death God, you must be a genius among geniuses in the forces of the Death God, and it's not surprising that you know more information."

"Amitabha, indeed, I am a member of the Tower Race, and I have come today specifically to find the benefactor, and to resolve the conflict between the benefactor and Master Yang."

"But now, it seems there's no need to resolve it..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yun You fell silent.

"No, that's not right."

After a moment, she suddenly furrowed her brows, staring intently at the Great Monk, and said in a deep voice, "You probably didn't come here by chance, did you?"

"My hacker partner sealed off the building, and so far, the defense system of the building has not been breached."

"Moreover, we've checked the surveillance. In the past two days, we know everyone who has entered and exited the building, and among them, there is no guest like you."

"This means you didn't sneak into the building midway but have been here all along."

"If you were wholeheartedly tracking me, you should have gone to Yangshan Town, not been in the building... because even Yang Lie himself didn't know I would crawl out from there and choose this time to seek revenge."

"So it's hard for me to believe you don't have other objectives, and it's also hard to believe you weren't involved in this incident."

Yun You crossed her arms, unceremoniously questioning.

The Great Monk was evidently not expecting the little girl to be so direct, so he was left speechless.

After a long time, he shook his head helplessly.

"Should I say, you are indeed the person chosen by my lord... Just from a little bit of intelligence, you can deduce so much information."

The Great Monk murmured lightly, "You are indeed extraordinary."

"It's not just a little bit of intelligence."

Yun You shrugged, casually said, "Actually, I always suspected that the Tower Race was involved in this whole event."

"As everyone knows, the most prideful technology of the Tower Race is their various sacrificial abilities. The growth process of the Taishou in Yangshan Town is essentially repeated Flesh and Blood Sacrifice ceremonies, offering human organs to Taishou, granting it eternal life."

"Previously, I had witnessed your Tower Race's sacrificial techniques firsthand, which is why I suspected the rebirth of the Taishou was related to you."

Clap~ Clap~ Clap~

The Great Monk clapped his hands with a smile, praising, "Your speculation is very accurate, benefactor."

"The technology that can revive the Taishou was disseminated by us. However, I must explain that we did not interfere in any of this by hand, we did not meddle in Master Yang's actions, neither disturbed nor helped Doctor Xie Kang's research, and did not provide them with any resources whatsoever."

"We were merely observing quietly on the side, appreciating what they did, without questioning what eventual results this technology and the Taishou itself would bring."

"This gives us some sociological experience and provides us with entertainment."

"Entertainment?"

Hearing this somewhat ridiculous reason, Yun You retorted angrily, "You folks really have a rather perverse taste."

"Thank you for the compliment, the term perverse taste is the best praise for the believers of the Smiling Awakened."

The Great Monk responded with a smile, not showing any anger.

"So, are you here to fight me?"

Unconsciously, Yun You clenched her fists, her body tensed, ready to spring into action at any moment.

The visitors from the Tower Race did not come with good intentions.

Although the Great Monk wore a constant smile, the little girl always felt that this smile was rather hypocritical and concealed a capricious hostility.

Moreover, the Great Monk had mentioned "Purification" earlier.

That probably wasn't a good term.

"The sixth sense of an Apprentice Death God is always so precise, always able to unearth the real thoughts of others."

The Great Monk nodded with some sentiment, not denying the little girl's question.

"Originally, the order I received was indeed to come and fight you."

"The so-called 'Purification' means eradicating your unclean 'body,' bringing back the soul... in layman's terms, killing you."

"But later, after seeing how quickly you became an Apprentice Death God and even managed to counter a stronger Master Yang, I thought I shouldn't do that."

"On one hand, because it would be a waste of talent, and on the other... facing you now, I really can't be certain of a guaranteed win."

The Great Monk seemed quite sincere, without much of a bluster.

"So I pondered and decided to change the approach."

With that, he suddenly bent down, extending his hand towards Yun You, and said cheerfully, "Why... don't you join us, become a member of the Tower Race?"

"...?"

"Huh?"

Yun You widened her eyes, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"Please don't rush to refuse."

The Great Monk waved his hand, explaining, "Your current situation is very dire. If you're really caught and put on trial, no matter how sufficient the reason, you are likely to suffer imprisonment."

"The most crucial growth period for an Apprentice Death God is before the age of 30. To waste this time in prison is truly regrettable."

"Instead of pleading guilty and accepting punishment, why not leave here with me, head to the territory of the Tower Race?"

"With your talent, you will surely be valued by the Lord... I dare not guarantee many things, but in terms of training skills and treasures, there will definitely be no shortage for you, definitely far better than practicing on your own."

"In doing so, you not only avoid a prison term but also gain the protection of the Tower Race. A double blessing, isn't it wonderful?"
