[Tianjing, Glory Guild Headquarters]
Late at night, Ling Ao sat alone in his office, smoking one cigarette after another, his thoughts heavy.
This was because he had already learned that his precious daughter had awakened a Predator in the Seventh World.
He also knew very clearly: awakening a Predator cos at a great cost.
More than ten years ago, when he first stepped into the Seventh World, he had accidentally awakened a Predator himself. For this, he sacrificed two of his permanent revival chances...
Ling Ao was consud by guilt and regret, wishing he could slap himself to death.
This was because, more than ten years ago, after accidentally awakening a Predator, he had posted the news on a website he created.
Later, the website was shut down.
Ling Ao didn't know how his daughter had found this website again, but he hated himself: why did he set the login password to his daughter's birthday?
This had led to Ling Ke'er blindly trying combinations, ultimately using her birthday to crack the password and read about how to awaken a Predator on the website.
"I'm sorry, Ke'er. It's Dad's fault. Dad pushed you into the abyss."
Fortunately, the situation hadn't reached an irreversible stage yet.
He imdiately called Glory Peerless: "Gather everyone from your Glory Guild over there and ensure the Predator, Taotie, is protected in the Seventh World. Do not let anyone harm it."
"Yes, Chairman."
Just as he hung up, Ling Ao suddenly received a call from the old butler: "Master, one of our [Divine Concealnt Scrolls] sold at the Interdinsional Trading Post last night."
Ling Ao, uninterested in such trivial matters, impatiently said,"Handle these small matters yourself. No need to report them to ."
Butler Li on the other end insisted: "Although the specific address of the buyer is private, the buyer's general location is listed as Linhai City in Zhejiang Province."
"I heard Miss Ke'er went to Linhai City, and she also awakened a Predator..."
"Miss Ke'er intends to use the Predator to deal with that Beast Tar nad Zero. I heard Zero is trapped in a safe zone by the Predator, unable to escape. And since Predators track their targets through their aura, the Divine Concealnt Scroll happens to hide a professional's aura. I suspect..."
Hearing this, Ling Ao seed to understand imdiately.
He abruptly ended the butler's call and dialed Glory Peerless again: "Take your n to search the wilderness around your tribe imdiately. Leave no area unchecked."
In Ling Ao's mind, it was all because of Zhang Yue that his daughter had beco this way.
Ling Ao himself had long hated Zhang Yue to the core and wouldn't let him off easily.
If Zhang Yue really was the buyer and used the Divine Concealnt Scroll to hide his aura, then let the people of Glory Guild find Zhang Yue, unleash the Predator, and kill him.
———
Elsewhere, Glory Peerless received Ling Ao's orders and imdiately led his n out to search the wilderness.
However, since only around twenty Glory Guild mbers were currently active in the Seventh World, the search was progressing slowly.
Around midnight, one of the Glory Guild's assassins found his way to the Sli Village.
When he saw a figure deep in the village, accompanied by a dragon and a skeleton, slaughtering slis at an abnormal speed, he imdiately determined: that must be Zero.
He quickly ssaged Glory Peerless: ["Guild Master, I've found Zero. He's in Sli Village."]
Glory Peerless relayed the ssage to Ling Ke'er.
Ling Ke'er logged in imdiately, appearing at the south gate of the Otiman Tribe. She ordered the Predator, Taotie, stationed outside the south gate: "He's in Sli Village. Go kill him."
Taotie's eyes glead with killing intent. With a roar, it darted toward Sli Village at an incredible speed.
Little did they know, this scene was witnessed by Overlord Blade and Overlord Hunter hiding in a corner inside the south gate.
"Not good, that creature has found Zhang Yue." Overlord Hunter said. "Quick, inform Zhang Yue to retreat."
"It's too late," Overlord Blade replied. "His mission only has 2% progress left. If he retreats now, the mission will fail."
"What do we do, then?" Overlord Hunter was conflicted.
Overlord Blade turned to his group, speaking in a low voice:"Anyone with revival chances left this week, co with to Sli Village to escort Zhang Yue."
"Those without revival chances, stay behind."
With that, Overlord Blade led a group of his n toward Sli Village.
———
anwhile, Tian Xin'er, busy clearing the Sixth World, also received news through the guild.
Tian Xin'er, who had always cared about Zhang Yue, was especially anxious upon learning that he had been killed by the Predator and targeted again. She had her grandfather send several high-level Tian family professionals from the higher worlds back to the Seventh World, disguised as freelancers to monitor the Predator.
Although these professionals, at over level 200, were suppressed to below level 100 in the Seventh World and couldn't harm the level 50 Taotie, at least they could track its movents and report back to Tian Xin'er.
Upon hearing that the Predator was already on its way to kill Zhang Yue, Tian Xin'er beca frantic.
"If only I were in the Seventh World."
"What do I do? How can I help Zhang Yue?"
Su Jinyan, standing beside her, was equally worried about Zhang Yue.
Seeing Tian Xin'er's distressed expression, Su Jinyan suddenly had an idea: "I might have a way to help Zhang Yue."
Tian Xin'er asked eagerly, "What's your idea?"
———
Back at Sli Village, Zhang Yue continued slaughtering slis.
At this point, his [Sli Slayer] quest was 98.9% complete.
With only 1.1% left, he estimated it would take just ten more minutes to finish the quest.
The Divine Concealnt Scroll's effect had 30 minutes remaining—plenty of ti.
However, Zhang Yue had already received word from Overlord Blade that the Predator was en route.
He had to kill the remaining slis even faster.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yue's speed still couldn't outpace the Predator.
When the quest progress reached 99.5%, Zhang Yue suddenly sensed an overwhelming aura of a god-tier boss closing in from outside the village...
WHOOSH!
A shadow darted into Sli Village at lightning speed.
In the darkness, the wolf-faced, humanoid Predator Taotie, its blood-red eyes glowing ominously, appeared.
However, upon entering the village, Taotie found it eerily quiet.
Aside from a few wandering slis, there was no sign of anyone.
But as a god-tier boss, Taotie had sentience.
It knew Zhang Yue was still in the village.
However, the Divine Concealnt Scroll had hidden Zhang Yue's aura, making it impossible for Taotie to pinpoint his exact location.
Taotie began scouring the village for Zhang Yue's whereabouts.
As ti ticked by, Taotie drew closer and closer to Zhang Yue's hiding spot.
Behind a mud wall, Zhang Yue gripped his staff, ready for a life-or-death battle.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from behind.
Taotie turned abruptly to see a group of professionals rushing in.
They were Overlord Blade, Overlord Hunter, and their comrades.
Overlord Blade, wielding his warblade, pointed at Taotie and shouted, "ATTACK!"
Archers and mages flanking him locked onto Taotie and launched long-range attacks.
ROAR!
With a deafening roar, Taotie charged at Overlord Blade and his group with blinding speed...
