Chapter 184: Sister is Also Bait, Drawing Out the Devil Worship Society
As one of the twelve counciln of the Divine Sumr Empire, Xu Wei held a lofty position.
He could be said to be second only to figures like the White God.
If he had been infiltrated, it would be a huge issue not just for the Divine Sumr Empire, but for all of humanity.
If even the upper echelons of the Divine Sumr Empire had been infiltrated, one could imagine how the leadership of smaller countries and factions might fare.
ng Anwen closed his eyes and said nothing, continuing to observe.
This was no small matter. Even he had to verify carefully.
With the team competition over, Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi went to the high-level arena.
The high-level competition had also concluded.
Prizes were being awarded.
Councilman Xu Wei was still presenting the awards.
Lin Mohan’s team had won first place in the level 40 group.
In the history of the Career Holder Tournant, any group with Creation God Academy participating always took first place, without exception.
Sumr Capital University had three top academies - Creation God, Creation World, and Phoenix Emperor.
Creation God always held the top spot.
The high-level arena also had three groups, with the sa three champion prizes.
500 million gold coins, a Shining Interdiate Skill Scroll, and an Interdiate Mysterious Potion.
The Interdiate Mysterious Potion permanently increased all attributes by 2000.
This was a base attribute increase, no small amount for level 40-sothing career holders.
Lin Moyu was very happy to see Lin Mohan win the championship.
But when he saw the box of gold coins, that uneasy feeling arose again.
He sensed sothing bad on the box.
"Yiyi, use your skill to observe the gold coin box."
Ning Yiyi obeyed imdiately, activating her skill.
Skill: Shadow Vision.
The world in Ning Yiyi’s eyes instantly changed.
The colorful world beca black and white.
Even things hidden in the deepest places couldn’t escape Ning Yiyi’s eyes.
If she wanted, she could even see the gold coins inside the box clearly.
Under Shadow Vision, Ning Yiyi discovered sothing was wrong.
"There really is a problem. I see a black mist inside the gold coin box."
"It’s a bit like the aura of Abyss demons, but not quite the sa."
Ning Yiyi wasn’t entirely certain.
She had encountered Abyss demons before, and felt it was sowhat similar.
Lin Moyu had also sensed sothing off because he had encountered Abyss demons before.
Now that Ning Yiyi ntioned it, he was completely certain.
At this mont, Lin Mohan touched the gold coin box.
Ning Yiyi said softly, "That black mist has moved to Sister Han’s wrist."
Ning Yiyi looked nervously at Lin Moyu, then exclaid softly again, "Moyu, it’s on your wrist too."
"Oh, it’s on my hand as well."
The black mist entered Lin Mohan through the box, then dispersed and entered the hands of every champion team mber.
The black mist lay dormant there, motionless, completely undetectable.
Clearly, this black mist was highly unusual.
Ning Yiyi added, "Sister Han has noticed the black mist, but she didn’t react. She even smiled a little."
Under Shadow Vision, even Lin Mohan’s slightest reactions couldn’t escape Ning Yiyi’s eyes.
Another thought occurred to Lin Moyu, "Could it be that my sister is also bait?"
He recalled what Bai Yiyuan had told him, that he wasn’t the only bait.
Thinking about it now, it seed very possible.
Otherwise Lin Mohan’s reaction couldn’t be explained.
Lin Moyu carefully recalled what Bai Yiyuan had told him at the ti.
He was to act as bait, demonstrating exceptional talent to draw out enemies hidden among humans.
There was a group of rats hidden among humanity.
They called themselves the Devil Worship Society.
Everyone in the society worshipped the Abyss Demon Kings and wanted to help them invade the human world.
No one knew why they were like this, but that’s what they did.
Several tragedies in human history had been caused by them.
Two years ago, they had assassinated several geniuses in the Divine Sumr Empire.
Bai Yiyuan had intervened at the ti, killing a few, but they were just small fry.
This ti Bai Yiyuan was using Lin Moyu as bait to draw out bigger fish.
He needed Lin Moyu to demonstrate extraordinary strength and talent, but not reveal all his power.
This balance was difficult to grasp.
So Lin Moyu had been gradually revealing his strength.
A little more each ti, but still hiding part of it.
Just the revealed portion was enough to attract worldwide attention.
Bai Yiyuan had also said the bait wasn’t just him, but others as well.
Now it seed very likely that Lin Mohan was one of the baits.
Lin Moyu hadn’t considered the danger to himself at all when acting as bait.
But using Lin Mohan as bait made him start to worry about her safety.
Seeing Lin Moyu’s hesitant expression, Ning Yiyi said, "Don’t worry, Sister Han is so powerful, she’ll be fine."
"A mid-tier legendary career is much stronger than guys like Su Sheng and Zhou Lesheng."
"It won’t be easy to kill her."
Hearing Ning Yiyi’s words, Lin Moyu relaxed a little, his tense nerves gradually easing.
Co to think of it, Bai Yiyuan would certainly have considered safety issues.
There shouldn’t be any problems.
In the dead of night.
The entire Nanhong City was still brightly lit.
The career holder competition residential area had fallen silent.
Career holders were ditating or sleeping.
Tomorrow was the individual competition. Many who had registered were resting up, preparing for the big event.
The rules for the individual competition were still unknown, to be announced tomorrow.
The competition format changed every year, impossible to guess.
Suddenly, all the lights in the city flickered simultaneously for a second.
The sound of waves suddenly grew louder.
Then fierce winds arose, whipping up waves hundreds of ters high.
It was as if the entire city would be subrged.
For the Career Holder Tournant, the Divine Sumr Empire had moved mountains and filled the sea, expanding the coastline by a thousand ters.
The competition venue had originally been open sea.
Now the venue was covered by a light screen, with internal renovations underway to prepare for tomorrow’s individual competition.
Under the impact of the waves, the light screen shook violently.
The huge light screens over the high-level and low-level arenas simultaneously burst with brilliant light, illuminating half of Nanhong City.
The night-ti Nanhong City was like a suddenly awakened giant, lights dazzling.
At this mont, the sky was covered in dark clouds. Hundreds of lightning bolts crashed down.
In an instant, the entire Nanhong City was enveloped in lightning.
These lightning bolts weren’t aimless. Each one targeted a teleportation array.
In a flash, all of Nanhong City’s teleportation arrays were destroyed.
Even the most deeply hidden arrays didn’t escape.
After the lightning, a huge barrier fell, like an inverted bowl covering Nanhong City.
Most of Nanhong City was enclosed within, including the Career Holder Tournant venue and residential area.
The barrier extended 10 kiloters out to sea, covering a large area of ocean.
The whole process took less than a second.
By the ti the career holders reacted, the barrier had completely ford.
Now most of Nanhong City was trapped like fish in a barrel, with nowhere to escape.
