Cult Leader of the Fourth Demonic Sect!
A War God-level powerhouse, even when the main base of the Fourth Demonic Sect was breached and surrounded by War God powerhouses, he still managed to escape!
His threat to humanity is even greater than that of the Demon God!
The Demon God is too distant, but the Cult Leader is too close.
The sooner we capture him, the sooner we can eliminate the threat.
"Before we discuss him, take a look at this list."
With that, Ye Bai handed over a list with dozens of names written on it.
Xue Meng took the list nonchalantly, but with just a casual glance, his body tensed, his eyes shot out a sharp light, and he stood up abruptly, his expression extremely serious.
"This list is?"
His tone was inquisitive, but from his expression, it was clear he had already guessed the answer and just wanted confirmation.
Ye Bai nodded, confirming Xue Meng's thoughts.
"That's right."
"This is a list of the mid-to-high-level members of the Fourth Demonic Sect."
Bang—
Xue Meng's face twisted fiercely, veins bulging on his arms, his hands clenched into fists, and the list in his hands instantly turned to powder, his molars grinding as a beast-like roar tore from his throat,
"Traitors, damn it!"
Ye Bai reminded from the side,
"Ahem... You just destroyed the list, and I only had one copy."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Xue Meng rolled his eyes, raised his palms, and all the paper fragments swirled in his hands, restoring the list in less than three seconds!
"Check if there are any mistakes."
With Xue Meng's level, even a casual glance could imprint the list in his mind.
After confirming the list was correct, Ye Bai returned it to Xue Meng.
After the initial anger subsided, Xue Meng calmed down.
"Where did you get this list?"
He pondered,
"This is a serious matter, and we must be cautious. You must know, many on this list hold high positions and important roles!
Accusing them of being Demonic Sect followers is no small matter! It's best to have evidence!"
Ye Bai presented the explanation he had prepared,
"After Lian Zheng's death, I found a small box among his belongings, which contained a list.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
I glanced at the list, and the box automatically transformed and locked itself."
With that, Ye Bai took out the pitch-black box and placed it in front of Xue Meng.
"Have you opened this box since?"
"No."
"How does this thing open?"
Xue Meng held the box with one hand and scratched his head with the other.
He wanted to smash the box open but was afraid of destroying the list inside.
Ye Bai suddenly said,
"I think you should be able to open it easily, right?"
Xue Meng was taken aback, his expression changing slightly. He couldn't admit he couldn't open it, that would be too embarrassing!
"Of course!"
Xue Meng said, forcing confidence.
Ye Bai seized the opportunity to say,
"Once you open it, you'll know the authenticity of the list."
In fact, Xue Meng had already believed seventy to eighty percent of the list!
One-third of the people on the list were already dead!
After the main base of the Fourth Demonic Sect was breached, they either died or were captured, and their identities were no longer a secret.
However, the remaining two-thirds were still deeply hidden!
These people were a huge threat, and if left to continue lurking, the defeated Fourth Demonic Sect would soon rise from the ashes!
Only by uprooting them could the threat be eradicated!
In other words,
The list provided by the other party was invaluable!
"We will verify the authenticity of the list in various ways, we won't wrong the innocent, nor will we let the guilty go."
Xue Meng calmed down and pondered,
"As for your reward for reporting, it will be distributed after the list is thoroughly verified, is that okay?"
Before Ye Bai could agree, Xue Meng proactively added,
"This sum will be substantial, if you want to advance a portion, feel free to ask for anything under a billion Gold Coins!"
Hiss—
As expected of a Nine-tier War God, he casually mentioned a billion Gold Coins!
However, Ye Bai wasn't in a hurry for money, what's his won't run away.
"There's no need for an advance, I'm not reporting just for the money, there's still righteousness in the world!"
Ye Bai's emphasis was unnecessary.
With his emphasis, Xue Meng's gaze turned a bit strange.
"This brat... could he have reported just for the reward?"
In any case, Ye Bai providing this list was a great contribution to humanity!
Xue Meng didn't bother with the details, he kept the list safe and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"You mentioned earlier that you have news about Lian Zheng's father, is it true?"
The list was important, but the Cult Leader of the Fourth Demonic Sect was even more crucial!
Capturing the Cult Leader would be worth more than capturing ten or a hundred Battle Kings!
"It's true, I know his next move."
Under Xue Meng's expectant gaze, Ye Bai calmly said, word by word,
"He will come to South River City."
"South River City? What's he going to do in South River City, oh right, his son died there."
Xue Meng's expression suddenly froze, he looked up sharply at Ye Bai, a bold idea forming in his mind.
Could it be....
Ye Bai nodded, once again confirming Xue Meng's guess.
"That's right, he's coming to kill me."
The enmity of a son's death is irreconcilable.
The Cult Leader of the Fourth Demonic Sect swore on his life to kill Ye Bai!
He must come to South River City, even return to the scene, to track Ye Bai's whereabouts.
Undoubtedly, Ye Bai was in extreme danger, being targeted by a War God was no small matter!
Xue Meng was silent, he walked to Ye Bai's side, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice,
"Eat whatever you like."
Ye Bai: ???
Why does it sound like you're saying I'm going to die!
Show your Nine-tier War God strength, big brother, it's just the Cult Leader, take him down!
"Just kidding."
Xue Meng forced a stiff smile and advised,
"Hide your identity well, I'll have people keep an eye on the scene, ambush the Cult Leader, maybe we'll catch him directly."
"Regardless, being targeted by a War God, there's not much you can do, leave it to fate."
With that, Xue Meng escorted Ye Bai out,
"Go to the Eternal Tower and quickly improve your strength, the opponent might not personally take action against you.
Even so, if he sends a few small fries, they'll be Battle King-level, enough to give you a hard time."
Xue Meng had to admit, even if it were him, at the Warrior level, facing the current situation would be a near-death experience!
Ye Bai remaining calm was already remarkable.
Xue Meng casually said, "The Lone Wolf's compensation is quite generous."
Ye Bai: ???
You just said what you were thinking, big brother!
Is it really appropriate to say that!
Ye Bai deeply understood what it meant:
Some people are still alive, but they are already dead.
Xue Meng escorted Ye Bai to the entrance of the Wolf's Den, and said in a deep voice, "Take care!"
This guy is bad luck, let's stay away!
Ye Bai didn't want to stay with Xue Meng for another second, he hurried to the Eternal Tower.
...
After Ye Bai left, Xue Meng instead showed a smile.
"Brat, daring to use the box to tease me, if I don't scare you, my name's not Meng!"
Earlier, Ye Bai had used the box to flatter Xue Meng, making him suffer a silent loss.
Xue Meng retaliated by scaring Ye Bai, making it even.
"That said, being targeted by a War God-level old monster, surviving on your own is really impossible!"
With that, Xue Meng took off his Lone Wolf Medal from his shoulder and began to operate it,
"Apply to [Shadow], hopefully, they can send a high-level [Shadow] monster to protect him.
If we can get a top forty [Shadow] monster to temporarily protect him, his life will be safe!"
Of course, Xue Meng didn't hold much hope.
High-level [Shadow] powerhouses were the top existences in [Shadow], allocated based on the potential of the Lone Wolf.
Back then, Xue Meng was accompanied by [Shadow Twenty-Three]!
Meaning he was ranked twenty-third in potential among his peers.
Applying for a top forty [Shadow] protection, even temporary, was too difficult!
However, improving this kid's security, at least secretly dispatching a War God to protect him, was definitely the right move.
Xue Meng had just submitted the application for less than three seconds when he received feedback.
Looking at the feedback, Xue Meng was stunned, as if turned into a statue, frozen in place!
On his Lone Wolf Medal, eight bold black words were written:
[Insufficient Authority, Application Rejected]
He was a Nine-tier War God, ranked first on the Star List, yet he didn't even have the authority to apply?!
"What on earth is that kid's background!!"
