“Where’s the Black Abyss’ headquarters? Also, where’s the branch in the Eastern Eight Zone?”

Lin Huang asked directly. These were the things he wanted to know the most.

“I can’t tell you the exact location. I can only tell you that the headquarters is in the Western One Zone. Regarding the branch in the Eastern Eight Zone, I can tell you the rough location…”

“Nangong Tian…” Child-face wanted to stop him.

However, a blood-colored gleam shot forth from Lin Huang’s sleeve, piercing through his chest instantly.

His aura faded away quickly.

“If the two of you speak again, the punishment won’t be this light.” Lin Huang glanced at the two men in masks before turning his attention back to Nangong Tian again. “Please continue.”

Child face sensed that the Odyl in his body had been completely drained. Lin Huang’s one attack had squeezed out all of the Odyl in his body. He was terrified and did not dare to speak again.

As child-face had been made an example of, swollen-face who was standing to the side kept his mouth shut.

Nangong Tian glanced at child-face before continuing, “The branch in the Eastern Eight Zone is in the Ancient Abyss Star Zone. However, I can’t reveal its specific location.”

“The Ancient Abyss Star Zone in the Ancient Abyss ruins?” Lin Huang asked while raising his brows.

“That’s right.” Nangong Tian nodded.

“How many half-step Dominators does the Black Abyss have?” Lin Huang asked again.

“Including the one here, there are three on the surface. I don’t know if there are actually more. I can’t reveal the three half-step Dominators’ identities and information.”

Lin Huang nodded and proceeded to ask, “How many official members are there in the branch in the Eastern Eight Zone? How many reserve members are there?”

“There are seven official members and 178 reserve members. I can’t reveal the remaining two official members’ identities. However, I can give you the name list of the reserve members.” Nangong Tian displayed absolute cooperation.

“There are so few of you guys and yet you still managed to create such chaos within the Eastern Eight Zone. You guys made a fool of the grade-SSS organizations and their tens of millions of members like a toy. You guys are quite something.” Naturally, Lin Huang was not exactly praising. He was just stating the obvious.

Zhao Xuan, who was standing off to the side, looked gloomy. He seemed to be recalling what Royal had gone through.

“How about other zones?” Lin Huang asked again.

“I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the other zones. Each zone has their own rulers. Only the headquarters has the full name list. Each zone only has to take care of the matters within their own zone. At the moment, we haven’t had any interactions with the other zones,” Nangong Tian explained.

“In that case, which zones have branches, and roughly how many people are there? You should know that much, right?” Lin Hung asked again.

“We don’t have too many branches. There are only some 30 branches in the universe, with less than 300 official members. Including reserve members, there are some 5,000 to 6,000 people.”

Lin Huang fell silent momentarily before asking a question regarding something that he was quite confused about, “You guys have stayed dormant for years, so why did you suddenly start attacking everyone frequently recently without caring about the consequences?”

This time, it was Nangong Tian who fell into a moment of silence. He only spoke a while later, “Because Aza has entered His awakening period.”

Lin Huang had a doubtful expression on his face when he heard that. “Can you explain further?”

Nangong Tian fell silent for a moment again. He only spoke again after seemingly choosing what he could reveal, “War is coming. The few battles happening across the universe are just the beginning. That’s all I can reveal.”

“Do you mean Aza will wage war once He wakes up?” Lin Huang continued to ask.

Nangong Tian stared at Lin Huang quietly. He did not nod, nor did he shake his head.

Lin Huang instantly realized that he could no longer reveal more.

“Alright, let me rephrase my question. Why is the universe being chosen as the starting point of the war?”

“Because the universe ranked at the top among all of the chaotic cosmoses in the infinite universe that are under the coverage of the Abyss. It’s perfect as the Abyss’ barracks,” Nangong Tian only answered after a moment of silence.

Lin Huang came to a realization when he heard that.

“So the Black Abyss’ mission is actually to weaken the universe’s vitality?!”

Nangong Tian fell silent once again. He shut his mouth.

However, Lin Huang already had his answer.

The Abyss was relying on organizations that worshiped Aza, such as the Black Abyss, to weaken the locals’ resistance.

In that case, the occupation later on would become significantly easier.

“What would the Black Abyss obtain by betraying the universe like this?” Lin Huang asked.

“After the Abyss takes over the universe, it will need someone to manage it,” Nangong Tian continued speaking, “This includes the chaotic Kingdoms that were taken over, they also would need people to maintain them.”

After asking a couple of questions about the Black Abyss, Lin Huang finally could not hold back and asked about the Raiders.

“Most of the Black Abyss members are from the Raiders. You guys should know where their headquarters is located, right?”

“I know where the old headquarters is, but they no longer have one. Since the Black Abyss was exposed, the Raiders’ higher-ups quickly convened a meeting and decided to abandon their original headquarters. All of the communications that happened later on were done via video projections.”

“There’s nothing now?!” Lin Huang had not expected this.

In reality, before the appearance of the Black Abyss, he had been treating the Raiders as his primary foe. He could never have guessed that his primary foe no longer even had a headquarters now.

“You can say that.” Nangong Tian nodded. “I can send you the coordinates of the Raiders’ previous branches and headquarters.”

Clearly, he did not hesitate to betray the Raiders at all.

“What’s the highest combat strength they have at the moment?” Lin Huang asked again.

“They should still have two half-step Dominators. Regarding their heavenly dao-level members, there should be around one hundred of them.” Nangong Tian continued to betray the Raiders fearlessly.

“Haven’t you guys thought about taking over the Raiders to strengthen your organization?” Lin Huang asked with a smile.

“Someone suggested it, but it’s too difficult to make it happen,” Nangong Tian explained.

“What do the Raiders think of the Black Abyss? Are they enemies?” Lin Huang asked further.

“Not entirely.” Nangong Tian shook his head. “The Raiders have existed for far too long, resulting in more and more internal conflicts. There were many people who disagree with the philosophies that the Raiders have been implementing all this time. That’s the reason why the Black Abyss could develop within the Raiders.”

“There are only some old geezers who insist on sticking to the Raiders’ traditional philosophies who see the Black Abyss as an enemy. The rest aren’t exactly against the Black Abyss.”

Lin Huang nodded. He finally understood that there was really a internal division within the Raiders.

Later on, he asked a couple more questions about the Raiders before turning his head to look at Zhao Xuan, who had been listening.

“You can ask him any questions that you have too.”

Zhao Xuan lifted his head to look at Nangong Tian again.

Nangong Tian was avoiding his gaze.
