Chapter 36 - Father's kindness, son's filial piety, the arrival of demons

The factory had been abandoned for years, its iron gate rusted and mottled, with weeds growing in the corners and even wild rabbits roaming about.

Ye Bai hid 800 meters away from the factory, carefully observing the surroundings.

"No electronic surveillance system."

"No defensive magic arrays, no traps..."

"It seems many are searching for Lian Zheng, and he doesn't dare to act recklessly!"

Ye Bai thought to himself.

If Lian Zheng set up arrays around, it would be tantamount to telling the City Defense Department that something was amiss here, prompting them to investigate!

The headquarters of the Fourth Demonic Sect had been destroyed, the Cult Leader severely injured, and the upper echelons suffered heavy casualties. Both their strength and morale had plummeted to rock bottom.

In such a situation, the half-crippled Lian Zheng was like a startled bird, hiding like a rat in the sewers, not daring to reveal the slightest trace.

In fact, Lian Zheng's choice was quite wise.

This kind of abandoned factory in the suburbs was rarely visited and not a focus of searches.

Without Ye Bai, Lian Zheng might have really escaped this calamity!

"Approach slowly, and if there's any anomaly, run immediately!"

Ye Bai took out two items: the [Anti-Magic Disc] and the [Hellhound's Skull].

The former, after removing the bloodline restriction, could withstand massive magical damage, serving as Ye Bai's greatest assurance for this mission.

The latter provided Ye Bai with 100 points of Strength and Constitution, significantly boosting his health bar.

These two Special Items were carried by Ye Bai, their effects activated.

Before this, Ye Bai had already stacked 30 layers of Ready to Go, ensuring his output capability was maximized.

Then, Ye Bai took out nearly ten scrolls and tore them open one by one.

"Lightfoot Technique!" "Breath Concealment!" "Focus Enhancement!" "....."

Light after light shone on Ye Bai, layers of buffs stacking up, gradually elevating his state to its peak.

This mage was incredibly powerful yet overly cautious.

"Disguise Technique!"

Using the last scroll, Ye Bai glanced at the time.

"18:28:46!"

"The longest of these buffs lasts 30 minutes, the shortest 15 minutes. No matter what happens after entering the factory, I must retreat after 15 minutes!"

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Ye Bai knew well that seeking fortune amidst danger required one to be alive to enjoy it!

In 15 minutes, regardless of the gains, Ye Bai had to retreat to ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

"Go!"

The countdown on his watch began, and Ye Bai, crouched, swept through like the wind, leaving only afterimages behind.

"Wind Slash!"

Ye Bai had previously set up several dummy puppets remotely, very discreetly, specifically for high-speed movement.

When Ye Bai retreated, these dummy puppets would be his best helpers!

In less than 10 seconds, Ye Bai easily infiltrated the abandoned factory, only 500 meters in a straight line from Lian Zheng.

"That guy is on the third floor."

In Ye Bai's vision, through the concrete walls, he could clearly see the interior scene.

"What is he doing?"

Previously, being too far away, Ye Bai couldn't see more information.

In a deserted office on the third floor, the decor was unexpectedly luxurious, the entire office surrounded by special materials, like a bank vault!

In the middle of the office, there was a bed.

A pale-faced man lay sideways, propped up on his elbow on the mattress, slightly raising his upper body.

Lian Zheng!

Ye Bai's target for this mission!

At this moment, in front of Lian Zheng was a display screen, showing an old, sinister face, somewhat resembling Lian Zheng.

"The Cult Leader of the Fourth Demonic Sect!"

The moment he saw the other party, Ye Bai's pupils contracted, his breath catching sharply—this was a War God-level powerhouse!

Sure enough, Lian Zheng had clues about the Cult Leader here!

Ye Bai couldn't hear what they were saying, as the sound was blocked by the special materials.

[Generating subtitles....]

The Eye of Insight once again brought Ye Bai a surprise.

He couldn't hear, indeed!

But he could see!

[Lian Zheng: Dad, save me!]

Ye Bai: ... What a distinctive translation style.

Clearly, what Lian Zheng said would be longer and more tactful, but after being simplified by the Eye of Insight, the meaning was very clear.

Lian Zheng wanted to survive.

The subtitles continued to refresh:

[Cult Leader: Stay calm, don't panic, I'll escape first and then talk!]

[Lian Zheng: If you don't save me, I'll report you!]

[Cult Leader: You little brat, if you dare report me, I'll kill you!]

[...]

Fatherly love, filial piety.

Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder this family sided with the Demon God.

To them, morality was like used toilet paper, utterly worthless.

In their flight and escape, they were utterly disgraceful, like drowning people eager to step on each other's shoulders to flee.

"One and a half minutes have passed!"

While watching the melodramatic family drama of fatherly love and filial piety, Ye Bai calculated the time.

The mutual cursing between Lian Zheng and the Cult Leader didn't last long.

In the end, the Cult Leader compromised.

[Cult Leader: I'll help you activate the Abyssal Plane's teleportation array, send your soul to the Abyssal Plane, and when I get there, I'll help you reshape your body, how about that?]

Lian Zheng fell silent, not responding immediately.

Abandoning his physical body would greatly impact his future strength.

However, now being half-paralyzed, recovering would require massive resources, so reshaping his body seemed like a viable path.

[Cult Leader: Hurry, the pursuers are about to find me, any later and I won't be able to help you, we'll all die!]

Eventually, Lian Zheng made a decision, nodding in agreement with the plan.

However, he had his own concerns.

[Lian Zheng: The teleportation array to the Abyssal Plane takes a long time and makes a lot of noise. What if it attracts the strong from the City Defense Department?]

Although Lian Zheng was a cripple, with only second-tier Warrior strength, he was meticulous and wouldn't act recklessly.

If the City Defense Department noticed the commotion here and interrupted the teleportation array, Lian Zheng would be handing himself over on a silver platter!

[Cult Leader: Don't worry, the safe house you're in can withstand damage in the trillions and can also conceal the commotion from the teleportation array, not giving the other party much reaction time!]

With the Cult Leader's assurance, Lian Zheng felt much more at ease.

[Lian Zheng: Dad, then what are we waiting for, let's do it!]

A minute ago, Lian Zheng was still threatening to report the other party, and now he was affectionately calling him Dad.

His shamelessness was at least S-level!

The Cult Leader didn't bother with these details, casting spells from afar, activating the pre-arranged magic arrays one by one, flashing with evil light, attempting to connect to the Abyssal Plane.

Ye Bai, who had been observing in secret, changed his expression at this moment.

"Should I retreat?"

Ye Bai hadn't expected to stumble upon Lian Zheng's escape—what a coincidence!

Even if he reported Lian Zheng now, it would be too late.

Once the teleportation array was activated and Lian Zheng entered the Abyssal Plane, there would be no chance.

As Ye Bai hesitated, a note appeared beside the array next to Lian Zheng:

[Abyssal Sacrifice Array]

[After connecting to the Abyssal Plane, sacrifice a large number of treasures and the soul of a blood relative to summon a powerful demon!]

"Hiss—"

Ye Bai's body stiffened slightly, a chill running up his spine, his expression growing more grave.

This wasn't a teleportation array!

It was a sacrificial array!

The Cult Leader never intended to save his son; he planned to sacrifice Lian Zheng!

True fatherly love and filial piety, a harmonious family!

Ye Bai made a decisive move, dashing out, reaching the third floor in the blink of an eye.

"The sacrifice must be stopped!"

"Lian Zheng's life or death doesn't matter, but the sacrifice must be interrupted!"

Before rushing to the third floor, Ye Bai glanced back, seeing South River City slowly being enveloped by the night.

This was the suburbs, sparsely populated, but still, many lived here, and it was only a few dozen kilometers from the bustling city center!

If a terrifying demon descended... the consequences would be unimaginable!

And the only one who could prevent all this from happening was Ye Bai!
