Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 400 Surviving in the Cracks
On the top of a 100-meter-tall building, a group of five people stood quietly in front of a huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the crowds who were reveling underground.

From the moment the portal closed, the capital was in a state of revelry.

The excited cheers put the city in a frenzy, and even from high-rise buildings, the noise was deafening.

People waved their arms and shouted at the top of their lungs, venting their excitement and joy. The huge commotion made the tall buildings sway slightly.

Compared to the excited crowd, these five people appeared unusually calm.

"I never expected it to actually succeed!"

Among the five, the leader was a man dressed in casual clothes and wearing a cat-face mask. He broke the silence first and spoke slowly.

His tone was somewhat complicated, it was hard to tell whether he was happy and sad, or felt regretful and fortunate, or perhaps all of the above.

Behind the man, the old man nicknamed Ghost Eyes looked up at the masked man, but his expression was not visible; only the back of his head was visible.

Ghost Eyes lowered his head slightly. In the eyes of his subordinates and opponents, he was brutal, bloodthirsty, and even somewhat perverted, but at this moment he behaved extremely obediently.

Because the person in front of him wearing a cat-face mask was the Grand Elder of the 'New World,' whose status was second only to the leader and the two vice leaders.

He is also one of the three great emperors of the new world.

"Yes, I really didn't expect it. It ended before I even knew what had happened!"

To the left and behind the masked man stood a beautiful woman in a long red dress. She had a voluptuous figure and exuded a mature allure.

She also looked down into the ground and whispered in agreement.

Originally, it was thought that the outcome was settled and some plans had begun to be implemented, but who could have imagined that the space gate would close without warning.

"Have you found out anything?" the beautiful woman asked.

Behind the woman, an ordinary-looking young man replied, "No, the spatial gate suddenly closed without any warning or indication. No news came through, and the mental network was also interrupted."

"After working so hard for so long, it's one thing for the plan to fail, but now we don't even know why it failed."

The beautiful woman smiled, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

This time, in order to merge the spatial gates of the Chaotic Lands, many members of the organization and the forces they had secretly accumulated were exposed.

Previously, due to the fusion of the spatial gates, the attention and power of the upper echelons of Shangjing were diverted, and the guardians did not have much time and energy to deal with them.

Now that the portal is closed, it's time for the real reckoning.

One can imagine that the subsequent purge will be very bloody.

When it comes to traitors, neither side can afford to be lenient.

It's impossible not to feel heartbroken when a plan built over two or three decades is destroyed in just a few days.

"It seems we're abandoning the capital; we can't stay any longer!"

The beautiful woman looked at the masked man and said.

The masked man simply gazed silently at the reveling crowd underground, offering no response. After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Let's just give up. It's a bit of a shame, but this wasn't our base camp to begin with!"

The losses this time were devastating; the New World's forces in Kamijou will be completely wiped out.

Compared to that, what he really cared about was why the portal was closed, and by whom?
According to the information, Tian Di Mingming has already obtained the key and entered the Flower Eclipse Realm. Otherwise, the remaining personnel would not have been mobilized on such a large scale.

Tian Di was originally a Spirit King, and he had refined a six-armed Heavenly Demon. He was also protected by three great kings. Why was the spatial gate closed?
“Hong Tao and the others obviously know what happened. Do you think it might be part of their plan? Since there are traitors among the humans, there might be some among the superhumans as well!”

The masked man looked down at the departing Hong Tao and his two companions and speculated.

He couldn't think of any other explanation besides this one.

However, this reason is also far-fetched, because even if there is a traitor, it is impossible to deal with three kings at the same time within the barrier.

Unless, Tian Di is a traitor!

But is that even possible?
How could one of the five emperors of the Heavenly Palace become a traitor?

What temptation could make him a traitor?

Furthermore, the portal has closed, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tian Di is already dead!

"I don't know, everyone who knew the truth is dead!" the beautiful woman said.

"I received a message."

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat silent, the young man who had spoken earlier said, "Dong Yunan from Lin Feng's team sought out Hong Tao and his two companions after leaving the Chaotic Land, and they met."

"Dong Yunan?"

The masked man exclaimed in surprise, "I know that name."

This is indeed somewhat illogical. What could a weakling and a ruler possibly have in common? Especially during this special period, after they left the spatial portal?
"You mean Lin Feng?" he guessed.

Lin Feng possesses a substitute soul skill!

If Lin Feng could pinpoint the people inside the barrier beforehand, he could enter silently. But even if he did enter, how would Lin Feng kill everyone?
Could there really be a traitor, working in collusion with those inside?
It is indeed possible to do if someone cooperates.

"If that's the case, then that's interesting!"

The voice behind the mask seemed to have a hint of amusement.

"According to the news, Lin Feng disappeared after the novice monk appeared. No one saw him. Furthermore, the spirit medium that sealed the novice monk within him was previously in Lin Feng's team."

The young man continued.

"How long has he been missing? Is he injured?" the masked man asked after thinking for a moment.

"Within three minutes! No injuries!" the young man said.

Within three minutes?
Not injured yet?
Upon hearing this answer, the masked man dismissed his initial guess.

Even if Lin Feng could enter the barrier, how could he possibly kill everyone in such a short time and remain unharmed?

"It's been such a short time, it shouldn't be related to him, but if there's a chance, it would be best to kill him."

Even if Lin Feng, a sixth-rank cultivator, is invincible among his peers, he is not enough to warrant Lin Feng's attention.

Even a prodigy is still in the growth stage and cannot break through to the King level without five or six years. Without becoming a King, one doesn't even qualify to enter the core battlefield.

In the past, such a prodigy would have been coveted by all forces, but now geniuses are worthless.

With the fusion of the spatial gate failing this time and the losses being so severe, the Extraordinary Ones should stay quiet for a few years.

However, given the speed at which space gates merge worldwide, perhaps in ten years, the space gates will become uncontrollable, and that will be the day when the Divine Martial Continent launches a full-scale invasion.

In other words, Lin Feng probably didn't have time to grow up.

Nowadays, these geniuses are not highly regarded by them, nor by the major powers.

Of course, if he could kill Lin Feng, he would not hesitate to do so.

The bounty, worth hundreds of billions, was also very tempting to him.

In Jade Seal City and this chaotic place, Lin Feng's team had been frantically slaughtering geniuses of the Otherworld, and had long become the target of the Otherworlders' death.

As expected, the bounty on Lin Feng's team will continue to rise, with Lin Feng's bounty reaching an outrageous figure.

Killing Lin Feng not only brings a bounty, but also some other benefits.

It's a pity that it's not easy to take action in the base city.

With Bu Yuanlong protecting Lin Feng, even a king would find it difficult to succeed.

"Is there any movement at the Pure Land? How many apostles died this time?"

"The beautiful woman asked."

The young man said, "There's been no movement. Only one person must have died; he was Lei Tianwang's apostle."

"Only one? That's so few?"

The beautiful woman seemed somewhat displeased, tossed her hair with her fingers, and said, "Let Duoduo begin preparations to compete for the position of apostle."

The young man nodded without responding.

Pure Land transcends all organizations.

Even China does not want to antagonize it.

All factions yearn to join and gain a voice, and the New World is no exception.

Two of the 24 apostles were from the new world.

The Pure Land School is aware of this, but it doesn't care.

The Pure Land itself is a microcosm of the world and all the major powers. It does not belong to any one country, and naturally it is not afraid of any power becoming too dominant.

"Let's go, this isn't a bad thing."

After taking one last look at the reveling crowd, the masked man turned and left, followed closely by the others, their expressions revealing a hint of relief.

The organization suffered heavy losses this time.

But as the elder said, this is not a bad thing.

It even put their minds at ease!

Although they have joined the New World, this does not mean they want the Inhumans to invade.

That wouldn't do them any good.

Nobody likes being a traitor.

Living in the cracks, where is the freedom we have now!
