Chapter 266: 138 Evil Ghost Court, Black Flame Lion Heart_2

He suddenly felt the formidable pressure in front dissipate like smoke and clouds.

After a moment, having reported to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association.

"Just now, in the core area of the chemical plant, I saw an even denser group of Void Demons. By the naked eye alone, there were nearly a hundred. The fellow who posted the message in the hunter group earlier probably didn’t fully investigate..."

"There must be something abnormal in the factory core, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Void Demons gathering here instead of rushing towards the city in droves..."

As he conversed with Shen Zheng and Wang Ying, Bai Xiao shared the situation he had just scouted. A few minutes ago, he had chosen not to continue troubling Hong Qing for this very reason. This hunting team of about fifteen could temporarily unite and attack the core of the factory.

To see exactly what the situation in that area was.

If it were just Bai Xiao alone, that would really be problematic.

The Void Demons were packed too densely there; he needed more people to divert attention.

"That many Void Demons?"

"We only have a dozen or so people, is that enough?"

In a chorus of doubtful and worried voices, the entire team set out.

On their way, more hunters wandering the abandoned factory alone and additional hunters who hurried over joined in, boosting everyone’s confidence.

The hunting team, now about twenty strong, made their way deep into the factory.

Among them, Wang Ying, Shen Zheng, and Bai Xiao were undoubtedly the spearheads.

The three walked in front, killing any Void Demon that dared to charge at them.

And among the spearheads, Bai Xiao was undoubtedly the sharp tip, with the third core members of the other two Schools counting at most as the two sharp edges of the spear. The more they fought their way through, shoulder to shoulder in battle, the more Shen Zheng felt the profound and terrifying strength of Bai Xiao.

Even at the forefront charging against the enemy, he seemed to have energy to spare. His combat movements were decisive and efficient. With a pat or press of his palm or fist on a Void Demon, there would be a bloody hole gushing out.

His power was unbelievably great.

If such a punch landed on him, could he really withstand it?

Shen Zheng couldn’t help but question himself somewhat nervously.

Fortunately, the three of them were teammates now.

Facing the increasingly tight swarm of Void Demons, like a tide surging towards them, Shen Zheng felt a significant pressure. But with Bai Xiao by his side, providing an effect like a needle that steadied the seas, both Shen Zheng and Wang Ying felt much less pressure.

After a fierce battle, the team finally reached the core area of the factory.

Their goal this time was not to fight to the death against a horde of Void Demons.

But to investigate, to see exactly what was happening in the factory core.

Why were there so many Void Demons gathered here?

This was also a task that the Martial Arts Association had assigned on the fly just now.

The reward was also exceptionally generous and tempting.

Otherwise, Bai Xiao’s suggestion alone would not have mobilized so many people.

The core of the abandoned factory turns out to be a massive building. From the outside, it looks like a vast area covered by a mushroom-shaped roof, possibly once housing metal equipment such as smeltering furnaces. The white walls spotted with black blemishes.

"Roar roar roar..."

From within the building, the faint sound of monster roars traveled through.

Inside, there must be a more formidable and dense presence of Void Demons.

Bai Xiao, at the forefront, took a breath and launched three punches in mid-air.

He immediately blew up a Void Demon blocking the way on the spot.

His figure advanced, sweeping forward rapidly. His outstretched arms, like the wings of a gull in powerful flight. Woosh, Bai Xiao appeared beside the building.

He did not rush in recklessly.

Instead, he looked into the interior through the cracks in the building’s wall, focusing intensely.

Inside the building was a vast open space, larger than a warehouse. The place was swarming with monsters, caught up in a chaotic dance, howling and roaring. Flying ones, swimming ones, all manner of strange shapes, those wreathed in mist, shadowy and mysterious, exuding an aura of extreme danger.

That aura was already beyond what a Breaker could handle.

However, these monsters could not leave this open space. Surrounding the perimeter, a vague misty barrier enveloped the area, with its surface emitting ripples like transparent waterwaves.

The surface of the venue faintly revealed a huge pentagram.

The pentagram was inlaid within a circle, exuding a sinister blood color.

"This is..."

Bai Xiao’s pupils contracted as he murmured to himself.

"The gray-robed man I encountered last time!"

...

At six in the afternoon, the sky was dusky, the color of the setting sun spreading beneath layers of white clouds, as if streaks of golden-red flames were burning the sky.

In the Martial Arts Association, sunlight, orange-red in color, streamed into the hall from the side.

Many hunters had left, only Bai Xiao remained alone.

In the hall, An Junhai, the president of the Huaisui City Martial Arts Association, stood by an open window. The white curtains were being gently swayed by the breeze.

"Bai Xiao, the information you spoke of yesterday, I’ve already submitted it to the provincial Martial Arts Association. Their response startled even me..."

He turned around slowly and walked toward Bai Xiao step by step, "Do you know which power the black-robed man who attacked you the day before yesterday was from?"

Bai Xiao cooperatively fell silent, shaking his head.

"It’s the Evil Ghost Court!"

On An Junhai’s aged but authoritative face, a deep dread was revealed, "The Evil Ghost Court is a very, very dangerous international terrorist organization. They’ve committed many horrifying crimes in the Holy Luo United States and the Star Shining Federation. Unexpectedly, this time, they’ve come to our Huaisui City... This is definitely an extremely dangerous signal!"

Bai Xiao was startled. The power behind the gray-robed man was so dangerous and massive, involving the international scene. The Holy Luo United States and the Star Shining Federation were not any minor players, each a powerhouse in the world.

The audacity of the Evil Ghost Court to act so brazenly there.

And now they had come to the Tianxia Federation, to Huaisui City.

There had to be a huge conspiracy in play, and it would bring extreme danger!

In an instant, Bai Xiao felt as though a giant black curtain was rapidly descending, enveloping the entire Huaisui City. He immediately thought of the dispute between the Fierce Bird Sect and the Horror Bird Organization, almost instantly realizing that this conflict was definitely related to the Evil Ghost Court. At the very least, the Evil Ghost Court was highly likely to be instigating the situation from behind, lending assistance, because the timing was too coincidental.

In three or four decades, the Fierce Bird Sect had never encountered such a situation.

Yet now, there were consecutive appearances of both the Horror Bird Organization and the Evil Ghost Court.

How could one not be suspicious?

Bai Xiao had thought of all this, and of course, An Junhai had too.

"Half a month ago, the forces of the Metal Council of Nanjiang Province were urgently called to the three coastal provinces. I even suspect that the Evil Ghost Court might be scheming behind the scenes. Nonetheless, there’s no need to worry, the experts from the Nanjiang Province Martial Arts Association have already set out today and will be able to get involved by tomorrow at the latest..."

"I’ve already informed your Fierce Bird Sect of this just now," An Junhai said in a deep voice.

Bai Xiao nodded; being prepared was always good.

At least, it meant knowing about the potential dangers in advance, right?

An Junhai glanced at Bai Xiao, his face showing a faint smile.

He shifted the topic, "I’ve heard from others that in this hunting mission, your performance was most outstanding, having killed as many as twenty-six Void Demons. Tsk tsk tsk, considering your current realm, that can certainly be considered a remarkable achievement..."

"By the way, the Dried Lion Heart you requested to exchange for in advance, the staff from Huaisui City have already requisitioned a batch from nearby city Martial Arts Associations. There will definitely be enough for your needs, and you can go to the warehouse to collect it now..."

"Thank you, President!"

Bai Xiao timely paid his respects as a disciple.

"Haha..."

An Junhai chuckled lightly, seemingly quite appreciative of Bai Xiao.

"The points you’ve earned this time, even after exchanging for the Dried Lion Heart, there will be a substantial amount left. I recommend that you use all your remaining points to exchange for a precious heart available in the Martial Arts Association’s warehouse. It’s the twin heart of the Black Flame Lion King, a mutant species from the deep world. It may bring unexpected benefits to your practice of the Lion Heart Fist..."

"Also, you made a contribution in investigating the core area of the chemical plant."

"There’s a reward for that as well,"

"You go and get the medicinal materials first, I’ll personally bring the reward to you in ten minutes."
