"Okay."
Shen Ye wasted no ti, his figure flashing as he flew out of the window, zipping along the street.
In an instant,
he stood at the bar's entrance.
He pushed the door open.
Norton and Yudelia were both there.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, gazing at each other with what seed like an air of ambiguous intimacy.
"Sorry to interrupt—I didn't want to bother you both, but there's been an unexpected developnt. Have you seen my female companion?"
Shen Ye got straight to the point.
"Is it the girl from last ti? The swordswoman?" Yudelia asked.
"Yes," Shen Ye replied.
"Ah, she caught the attention of the Envoy of the Earth, Karula, who said she resonates highly with the Earth and has invited her to visit the Earth Mother," Yudelia explained.
Shen Ye imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
Even according to the cosmic faction alignnts, Karula and the Earth Mother she served represented the Order Faction.
And Karula was his friend, having fought beside him in battles.
"Did Xiao ngyu choose to go of her own accord?"
Shen Ye inquired.
"Yes, Karula gave her the choice, and she decided to go take a look," Norton also said.
He was relieved then.
There was still Guo Yunye.
"I have another companion who can turn into a wolf, a male; have you seen him?" he asked.
"No," both replied in unison.
The bar door opened again.
Two groups of people walked in.
Leading them was the undead necromancer, Jas.
"Baxter!"
Jas called out.
"Jas," Shen Ye greeted with a smile.
"I've co across sothing strange," Jas said.
One by one, Jas's companions stepped forward, encircling Shen Ye completely.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Ye asked calmly, without changing his expression.
"I rember four people passed the trials of the Immortal Country, and that Shen Ye could bring three effects, allowing the Immortal Country to shelter us," Jas said.
Shen Ye stayed silent, waiting for him to continue.
Jas spread his hands and said, "Why can't the other trial passers bring Immortal Country's blessings?"
On hearing this, Shen Ye suddenly burst into laughter.
You son of a bitch.
It's you.
"What are you laughing about?" Jas asked.
"Let guess, you must not have politely requested those who passed the trials for help; you had no manners, and even less respect for them—the Immortal Country isn't stupid. Seeing how you treat the people it has chosen, do you think it would lend you its aid?"
Shen Ye chuckled nonstop, as if imagining an extrely ridiculous scene.
"Mr. Baxter, what you've said makes a lot of sense; if that's the case, I understand," Jas said, nodding at him, his gaze drifting, as though he harbored other intentions.
Shen Ye said, "Let them go, don't wait any longer, or there will be consequences."
"Mr. Baxter, I would like to give it a try," Jas stated.
Shen Ye's smile vanished, and he said seriously,
"Listen, Jas."
"I don't like so many people surrounding . Either have them step back a bit, or they are all going to die."
Everyone was taken aback and then burst into loud laughter.
Jas shook his head while laughing, "Our understanding of professions, the Dharma Aspect, is beyond the imagination of you natives; we wield professions as nurous as the stars in the sky. You wouldn't understand, Mr. Baxter."
"Many professions? But I see you don't have Divas, so how dare you make such bold claims?" Shen Ye retorted.
Jas's smile vanished.
Shen Ye continued, "You've been wanting to deal with all along, haven't you?"
Jas didn't respond, just stared at him, as if trying to gauge his intentions.
Shen Ye's smile grew warr as he spoke,
"So many people around , it seems you also want to control that path, right?"
"Here, hit ."
"Co on, aim for here."
He pointed to his own face, signaling for Jas to strike.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure.
After a brief hesitation, Jas gave a slight nod to one of his n beside Shen Ye.
That man imdiately raised his fist and charged at Shen Ye.
Encounter at the Jade Terrace Under the Moon.
In a flash,
all the people around Jas vanished without a trace.
He looked around in bewildernt, stepping back unconsciously.
Shen Ye had already turned around and taken a seat at the bar, asking Norton for a glass of juice, casually remarking,
"Did you see that?"
"The Immortal Country is very temperantal, whether towards the one who passed its trial—I an Guo Yunye from the Death Planet, or Shen Ye, and also this vampire."
"Perhaps you'll have a chance to enter the Immortal Country only if you correct your attitude."
Unable to resist, Jas asked, "Where are my people?"
"They're probably dead; yes, most likely dead—bodies don't return, please accept my condolences," Shen Ye said.
"You killed them?" Jas couldn't believe it.
"No, the Immortal Country—it has given permission; it even offered a special path to send its manpower," Shen Ye held up a finger, "to ss with is to tamper with its interests."
"The Immortal Country killed all your subordinates."
"Dear Jas, I advise you to release that person quickly, or you might end up the sa."
After finishing his sentence, he picked up his glass and sipped leisurely.
Jas sensed around for a mont.
Indeed.
All his trusted subordinates had disappeared.
There were no other idlers in the bar.
The soft light poured down, and in the lodious music, everything seed carefree and relaxed.
But his people were dead.
Simply because they wanted to make a move against Vampire Baxter!
Jas's expression suddenly eased, and he said in a softened tone, "I find it hard to believe, Baxter. Do you have a way to prove that the Immortal Country is behind all this?"
Shen Ye frowned and said, "Do you also want to die? Jas, if you just say 'I want to,' I'll oblige."
Jas snorted and said, "But you trying to scare—"
