"How did you discover ?" Egger prided himself on flawlessly disguising his presence, but this woman overlooked the other corpse people and imdiately focused on him.
Qiao Feiya rolled her eyes, "Duh, you’re the only one wearing clothes among all the corpse people."
Egger’s eyes flashed with viciousness. This woman, after all, was rely a True Sequence, thinking that breaking his limbs would strip him of his combat ability? He had absolute control over his body; what couldn’t be used as limbs?
Watching Egger’s strange way of advancing, Qiao Feiya assud the position for a Sword Qi Burst Stream, bracing herself. No one knew what kind of moves this Catastrophe-Level Expert would use next.
But as Egger advanced a short distance, he was pulled back by several tens of black chains. These chains were released by Wen Wen.
Then, the Black Night Knight descended from the sky, stepping directly on Egger’s neck, and then once again used a short sword to pry open his skull. Only then did Egger quiet down.
"The process of hunting you down had many twists, but now... it’s over for you."
Wen Wen felt slightly regretful. During the process of pulling Egger back with the chain, he had already pierced part of the chains into Egger’s body and had even frisked him.
He was thinking of seizing the opportunity to also send Egger into the Sanctuary, but seeing the deanor of the Black Night Knight, it seed he wanted to directly kill Egger.
This scum’s death wouldn’t be regretted, so Wen Wen didn’t think to stop the Black Night Knight.
But suddenly, Wen Wen noticed a sweet aroma in the air.
"Almond yogurt?"
"No... this is poison!"
Wen Wen imdiately stopped breathing, but the toxins in the air seed to seep in from every pore, not only entering the body through the nasal cavity but also penetrating the skin and the energy defenses on the surface.
As soon as Wen Wen sensed the presence of the toxin, he felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
Next to him, Qiao Feiya’s body faltered montarily; she had to prop herself up with her sword to avoid collapsing.
As for the Black Night Knight over there, he was imdiately shrouded by a green poisonous mist, forming a huge phantom of a silkworm around him, hovering over his body.
This poison was actually targeting the Black Night Knight, so Wen Wen and the others were affected incidentally.
The Crooked Dragon, whom Wen Wen had been searching for, suddenly erged, flicking his fingers to convey a ssage.
"To act pretentious is like the wind, always by my side!"
After saying this, the Crooked Dragon’s speed increased trendously, reaching a level that left Wen Wen astonished, quickly rushing over to the Black Night Knight to snatch Egger away.
Then, together with a man in a white robe, they made a hasty escape from the scene.
The Black Night Knight was only affected by the poison for less than a second before the phantom of the silkworm turned to powder, and he disdainfully looked at the fleeing trio.
Thinking they could snatch soone from him was simply too naive.
With a wave of his hand, several darts flew out, leaving trails of blood on the Crooked Dragon and the white-robed man, but they did not stop running.
The Black Night Knight started to step forward in pursuit but suddenly halted after just two steps, turning his head to the north.
In the northern direction, a massive gray energy column pierced the sky, dyeing the clouds above gray.
The clouds thickened visibly before a torrential downpour began, the rain being a shade of gray.
The toxins on Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya were also completely cleansed, and they solemnly gazed towards the north.
This rainwater carried a potent necromancy that, falling upon the land, was bound to provoke a massive disaster, and the range of the dark clouds kept expanding, possibly enveloping Xia Mansion’s Land entirely.
The aura within the rain was identical to the eerie one Wen Wen and others had detected in the Northern Yin Capital.
The Black Night Knight hesitated, knowing full well what had occurred in the north — it was the outbreak of the necromancy disaster sweeping across Xia Mansion’s Land.
As an adept information gatherer and a Catastrophe-Level Expert, the Black Night Knight had a comprehensive understanding of the necromancy disaster that engulfed the Capital a millennium ago.
Apart from not knowing about the character Righteous True Immortal, his information was far more detailed than Wen Wen’s.
Precisely because of this, after obtaining information from the Tree Demon Yao Granny, he wanted to quickly deal with Egger and leave, unwilling to witness the calamities of the necromancy disaster.
Because he knew, upon witnessing the catastrophe, he would inevitably feel compelled to intervene.
He couldn’t bear human suffering, couldn’t stand alien beings harming humans, loathed all monsters that treated humans as ants, and had sympathy for all humans suffering from alien oppression.
He felt it was his duty to plan for humanity’s future, prepare for threats, and put an end to monsters that hard humans.
This profound sense of responsibility sotis superseded his rationality, occasionally putting him in danger.
But it was also this obsession that allowed him to beco one of the eight Judicators, the Black Night Knight!
The situation to the north allowed no delay; every minute wasted might add thousands more casualties. However, if he went north, finding Egger again would be challenging.
Wen Wen noticed the Black Night Knight’s hesitation and said to him, "You go north, I will handle Egger, I have a way to find him."
"I’ll leave it to you then!"
After saying this, the Black Night Knight vanished from Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya’s sight in the blink of an eye.
He trusted Wen Wen’s true strength, so when Wen Wen made a promise, he knew it could be fulfilled.
Then Wen Wen turned to Qiao Feiya, tossing her a sleeping bag: "Head to the Capital of Da Song. This disaster will envelop Xia Mansion’s Land. Think of a way with Ha Erman."
"And then find the Black Night Knight, stay by his side, and when daybreak approaches, use this bag to contain him."
"And... be wary of Righteous True Immortal."
Qiao Feiya nodded, transforming into a beam of sword light, and flew towards the Da Song Capital.
Wen Wen stood alone, not in a hurry to find Egger, instead waving his hand to have several items co to him.
The chains wrapped around Egger had previously ransacked his possessions.
One of the findings was a letter sent by the Tianshan Poison Immortal King to Egger, ntioning that he wanted Egger to go to Mt. Tian.
So the white-clad poisoner earlier should have been the Poisonous Immortal King Piyanping of Mt. Tian.
Other findings were rather unpleasant: a withered hand, brain-like gel, two slimy eyeballs...
These items looked bizarre but in fact held imnse power. There was no way the things Egger carried were re junk.
However, researching their functions would take ti, so it was better to store them for now and address Egger’s capture later.
Yes, Wen Wen was confident about apprehending Egger, because the chains had left a small piece inside Egger’s body, serving as a marker that could lead Wen Wen to find Egger.
And this ti, without the Black Night Knight following, Wen Wen could fully contain Egger!
