Chapter 403: Chapter 403

Xiong Xiao turned his head in confusion, with shadowy tentacles writhing in his sleeves.

This human modification experiment is known to very few.

Yet the newcomer was strikingly conspicuous under the night sky, with shimmering golden hair that resembled exquisite silk, stirring the firelight.

The handsome youth beneath the locks, as beautiful as a fair maiden, yet exuding an air of heroism, with indifferent eyes that made Xiong Xiao’s entire body burn, as if a candle had been lit, with flames consuming his organs.

Xiong Xiao was on alert; he communicated within the organization on a single line. Since the newcomer wasn’t a superior, they must be an enemy.

Countless zombies let out low growls, the horde swarming around Chu Yi.

The Ferocious Wind Centipede on which Xiong Xiao stood reared up, whipping up a crimson storm. With a fierce expression, Xiong Xiao waved his hand, summoning a fleshy tendril that slammed down forcefully.

But the scene before him made his pupils suddenly contract.

Gray mist floated about, engulfing the entire abandoned mine; a massive shadowy figure of a squid-like being emerged, with countless tentacles dragging the zombies into the shadows, devouring them completely.

Xiong Xiao was so frightened that his very soul seemed to flee. He immediately contacted his superiors but was instead enveloped by whispers, his eyes bloodshot, infused with ancient knowledge, as if a tender shoot sprouted from his eye sockets, blossoming into a fleshy flower.

"Ah, ah! Spare, spare my life, lord, spare my life, I was wrong..."

The Ferocious Wind Centipede under Xiong Xiao had long since turned into a pool of blood, his body and soul twisted, kneeling on the ground, pleading with a sliver of remaining sanity.

A flicker of flame illuminated him, reducing him to ash, gone with the wind.

"Even in death, he didn’t reveal the organization’s secrets. Was he silenced by some sealing method?"

Chu Yi murmured with a vicious smile.

Using the Hand of the Divine with the Radiant Moon’s status is really convenient. By tracing causality, one can uncover the truth of this world.

Xiong Xiao was once a renowned stepping stone at the mine battle.

In hindsight, he was the Titan Race’s guard within the mine.

Chu Yi with a casual grasp pulled up a coffin-sized treasure chest from the ground by the strings of causality, ignoring the restrictions placed on it. A flame fell, burning the evil god’s offspring inside to death. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Chu Yi uttered the name uncovered by tracing causality, though it seemed the other party also had means to obscure causality, barely revealing any information.

This organization was born in the dark ages and has survived to this day, closely connected with the Imperial Capital.

This, is the information extracted from Xiong Xiao.

Chu Yi set the mining site ablaze, leveling it to the ground, including the apocalyptic creatures being cultivated within.

Chu Yi sorted through the causal threads. He and Bika unintentionally disrupted the mining operation, causing them to be targeted.

The assassination at Star Dragon Academy, the involvement of the Shen and Xiao families—all bear the marks of the Illuminati.

As for how powerful this organization is, Chu Yi couldn’t care less.

I’ve reached the Radiant Moon level, which in the Beast Taming Realm would make me the ruler of a state, capable of establishing a Radiant Moon family!

Dare to provoke me, I’ll kill your whole family.

Even if you don’t provoke me, I’ll still kill your whole family.

Soon after Chu Yi left, a meat door opened from the mine.

The newcomer donned bone armor and a black robe, hurried in appearance, his pupils bloodshot beneath his mask, with a somber face, filled with violence.

Originally enjoying himself with twin sisters in a villa, he received a call from a big figure in the organization, subjecting him to a tirade of rebuke.

He realized that the two forbidden items he handed over had gone missing.

He first headed to the abandoned villa, brightly lit and lined with defenses.

Thanks to a helpful informant, the City Defense Army cracked a major case overnight involving the disappearance of over a hundred infants.

Deputy Chief Qin Shi boasted in front of the media, claiming Elder Qin was Yaoguang City’s guardian deity, and the younger generation of the Qin Family were contenders for the championship at this year’s Beast Taming Tournament, aiming to enter the Imperial Capital and achieve miracles!

Additionally, investigative Beast Tamers commanded Pet Beasts to search for traces of the Evil God Sect.

Seeing no opportunity to intervene and facing exposure risks, he reluctantly withdrew, cursing Shen Ling to death for being an idiot.

You damn fool, did you leave some loose ends? Who found out about our backstabbing deal? Damn it!

He rushed non-stop utilizing the organization’s teleportation technology to reach the mine.

The leveled mine left nothing behind, an empty wasteland.

"Blown up? Who did it? Where’s that idiot Xiong Xiao?"

The bone-armored man was left dumbfounded.

The whole mountain flattened to the ground, causing such a commotion, yet Yaoguang City showed no reaction.

He felt cold to the core, awakening from his rage. The opponent must have been a Dawn Star-level Beast Tamer.

In Yaoguang City, there are only a few at the Dawn Star level. Who did it? It’s hard to guess.

"Temporal Guardian, Qin Zheng!"

A thought sprang to mind, enlightening the bone-armored man.

Only a temporal Beast Tamer could foresee outcomes and preemptively eliminate threats.

The plan for a hunt against the Qin Family was set for three days later, Qin Zheng obviously noticed and took action.

Whether it’s true or not, I’ll pin it on you, old bastard!

He crafted a quick lie in his mind, ready to throw the blame when higher-ups questioned him, to clear himself of responsibility.

"Never expected Qin Zheng to recover so quickly after losing his Pet Beast."

The bone-armored man sneered.

Qin Zheng is indeed at the Dawn Star level, an ultra-rare temporal-type Beast Tamer, with a battle record indicating it takes three peers of the same level to challenge him.

The opening of the Ice Dragon Ruins presents a perfect chance for an assassination.

His own biochemical modifications allow him to unleash the Power of the Dawn Star in regular states; apart from the Dawn Star level, there’s no equal in Yaoguang City.

Dawn Star, a significant figure indeed!

Although the modifications have some side effects, it’s still true power of the Dawn Star, with a single strike capable of causing a catastrophe, instantly killing ten Golden Peak Beast Tamers!

"Is it just three times?"

"Ah, who the hell are you?"

The bone-armored man didn’t even turn his head, but the Spirit Burst extended the shadow beneath his feet tens of meters, transforming into a Giant Nige, stomping backward.

The bone-armored man fell to his knees like a stray dog, his head pinned by a handsome Sun God resting beside him, with his face half-buried in mud.

Terrified, he trembled, intense fear rising from deep within his eyes, daring not to resist.

What kind of demon is this? I lost in the blink of an eye?

He was incredulous, even suspecting that the surgery the organization performed on him was poorly done, far from a Dawn Star.

"Don’t be nervous, I am a kind soul. As long as you cooperate, it won’t affect your family."

Chu Yi spoke as he raised his palm.

The fair, translucent palm held a black book, exuding dense black energy.

The Book of Life and Death!

He opened this magical treasure, activated by a million souls, and a page revealed the name of the bone-armored man.

In the next moment, the bone-armored man forgot to spit out the mud, his face filled with shock.

"H-how do you know my name!"
