Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“It seems like your IQ isn’t as high as it usually was. Hehe, do you think we will tell you?”

Nangong Han snorted disdainfully and immediately summoned his bonded soul weapon, the Wind Dragon Sword. He pointed the tip of the sword at his opponent and shouted, “If you want to fight, then fight! Come on!”

The Shadow King knew that his appearance would attract the attention of Shenxia’s nation-protecting Divine Pillar, but he wasn’t afraid.

He snorted coldly and stretched out his demonic hand to grab the two of them.

And right below them,

Ling Yi couldn’t help but force a smile when he heard the Shadow King’s words.

“How can you smile in this situation ?” Yunji whispered in his ear, “He’s a level 90 invincible master. The two bosses up there probably can’t beat him.”

“Shouldn’t we run?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi shook his head and smiled, “No need. I’ll turn on the bell.”

Yunji was a little confused. “The bell can’t improve combat power. This isn’t the time for it now,” she asked.

Although she had accepted the fact, she didn’t think that the bell would be of any use in this situation.

“It’s useful. The bell can attack the mind and find out all of his trump cards.”

He took out the Bell of Truth from his rucksack, and after using the flag to expand its effective range by ten times, he switched it to the second mode, which allowed him to reveal other people’s thoughts.

Immediately after, Ling Yi recalled his [Intelligence-lowering Halo].

‘The Shadow King must have harbored evil intentions toward me after realizing that I had deceived him. By now, his intelligence must have dropped by quite a bit.’

‘I wonder how much it will affect his combat power.’

Intelligence-lowering Halo + Bell of Truth.

Ling Yi was very much looking forward to what kind of effect would be produced when the two were used together.

He looked up at the sky. He could clearly tell that even Luo Yuan and the Sword Saint were at a disadvantage.

Luo Yuan and the Sword Saint are no match for the Shadow King.

“Nonsense! He’s an invincible level master, and a casual scratch from him can deal ten times the damage. Who would be able to tanked that?”

“Quickly look! Someone went up to help again. It’s the Ace Summoner, Chen Dao!”

“There’s also Flame City’s Flame Witch, she’s up there too!”

Two more people flew into the sky and joined the battle.

At this moment, a blue barrier with a light blue halo appeared in the distance and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire temple square.

Ling Yi looked in the direction of the barrier and saw that it was the assistant of the Clear Lotus Palace’s goddess, Sheng Ya.

“This is a Classic Stage protection technique. It’s a protective shield that can block attacks and absorb energy to a certain extent.” Yunji said.

As she spoke, many players who had barrier Skills activated their own large barriers, each of which covered the entire square.

Looking at the protective shield, Ling Yi thought of Lin Shurou.

‘There are so many protective shields here, but none of them can withstand her invincible protective shield. If I had known earlier, I would have brought her along…’

He raised his head to look at the battlefield in the sky. Seeing that the four of them were at a disadvantage, he wondered why the message in his heart had not come out yet.

Then suddenly, the Bell of Truth finally let out its first message!

[The Shadow King’s real name is Hu Jie, 46 years old, White Eagle Player]

[He was not worried that he would be captured by Shenxia’s Divine Pillar once the dungeon ended because he had enough escape tools in his backpack. As long as nobody sealed the space, he would not be caught.]

The appearance of the mysterious voice naturally caused another uproar among the players.

The surrounding players started to discuss the contents after their initial shock.

“So you have something to rely on, that’s why you dared to expose your identity?”

“But I feel that the Shadow King has still lost his mind in his anger. There are still nearly four hours left here, which is enough to transfer people with the ability to seal space from other places.”

“Do you even need to worry about this? The Mage Luo Yuan is the best at sealing off space in the country!”

“Haha, the Shadow King has really lost his mind this time. He dared to expose his identity here. He won’t be able to escape!”

In the sky, the four people who were fighting against the Shadow King also saw this message and were overjoyed.

‘So, I can capture him as long as I lock the space!’

Luo Yuan suddenly realized his importance.

However, he felt a little strange. The Shadow King must have known about him, so why didn’t he get rid of him before?

It was reasonable for the Shadow King to keep him alive when they were still in that cave since they still needed to rely on him to clear the level. But… once he got out, he could’ve come straight for him.

And instead…

The Shadow King, whose intelligence had been reduced, had completely forgotten who the most dangerous person to him was. All he could think about was fighting.

He even laughed out loud at the information that appeared in front of him. “Hahahaha! Did you see that? Without the ability to seal off space, even if the Divine Pillar were to come, it would not be able to catch me!”

“None of the six Divine Pillars have the ability to seal space. If it wasn’t for the Divine Pillar, you wouldn’t be able to defeat me, so it’s impossible for me to be caught! Hahahaha!”

As the Shadow King had become a giant demon, his voice had also been amplified correspondingly.

When he spoke, everyone below could hear him clearly.

When Luo Yuan and the other three looked at each other, everyone was also dumbfounded.

“Didn’t he think that Luo Yuan and the Divine Pillar could easily catch him?”

“Could it be that he doesn’t even know Luo Yuan?”

“That’s not possible…”

While the players were bewildered, Ling Yi stood where he was and grinned.

[You have absorbed 88 surprise points from Liu Yuan.]

[You have absorbed 85 unexpected value points from Zhang Feng.]

[You have absorbed 81 doubt points from Wang Rui.]

[…]

“Eh? What are you laughing at?” Luo Yao blinked her eyes curiously when she saw Ling Yi reveal such a rare smile.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just happy that we’re about to catch the leader of the world’s second-largest dark organization.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yi suddenly remembered something.

Only the Shadow King came to Shenxia this time? Where were his subordinates?

[The Shadow King, Hu Jie, had come for the mysterious voice this time and had only brought five of the top ten cadres. Three of them were sent to Qianjiang City, and the other two were brought to this dungeon to provide support.]

[When he entered the cave, he had already sent these two officers to help Saint Futian deal with the Divine Union players and the Black Tortoise envoy, Zhou Ziwen. Now, they are fighting in the southwest corner of the secret realm, which is 30 kilometers away from the Temple of the Earth God.]

‘No wonder I didn’t see the Black Tortoise envoy after I came in.’

He remembered that when he was looking at their fate, the Black Tortoise and Luo Yuan were enough to hold back the Shadow King and Sheng Futian.

One could imagine how powerful this general was. Although the four messengers of the Divine Union were called captains, they were indeed generals in terms of position.

It wasn’t a general for mortals, but a general for the Divine Union Warriors.

They represented the highest honor and combat power in the Divine Union, so they were usually not allowed to be defeated. Unless he was facing a Beast King or an invincible level expert.

Ling Yi raised his head and looked at the sky again. Seeing that the battle situation in the sky didn’t change much, he couldn’t help but frown.

‘It’s almost impossible to rely on them to kill him.’

‘As long as we trap him and drag him until the timer in the dungeon is up, the Divine Pillar and Luo Yuan could easily capture him.’

He still remembered that the head of the Emperor Star Financial Group had a powerful Skill that allowed him to control a single target.

The ten to twenty thousand people present had the ability to trap it.

However, before that, he had to make sure that the other party was not under control.

[A certain Big Shot in the crowd felt that Yun He’s joint Skills could solve this predicament.]

[Yun He couldn’t control the Shadow King in his demon form since it had an excellent control resistance. If he wanted to subdue him long enough, the Shadow King had to get out of this form. However, this transformation could only be dispelled on his own initiative, or he would have to exhaust his stamina to escape.]

“Alright, my inner voice has confirmed it for me.” Ling Yi chuckled.

As long as he was trapped, the auction could continue.

Meanwhile,

The players who saw this message all turned their attention to the head of the Emperor Star Financial Group, Yun He.

It was this man who had trapped Sheng Futian until the secret realm’s time was up.
