Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Theresa spoke up to break the atmosphere.

"The Hyperion has detected a Honkai energy reaction inside the ruins. Be careful when you go in to explore, and keep in touch at all times. If the communication signal is lost and you lose contact, remember to return the way you came immediately!"

"Remember to put your own life first."

“Theresa,” the Herrscher of Knowledge spoke, her expression arrogant, “Don’t you even know who’s leading this time? With me here, do you really think a small ruin can threaten Kiana and the others’ lives?”

"Yes, it's always better to be careful."

Theresa suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Himeko mentioned before that you seem to know some information about the Nine Netherworld?"

"uh-huh!"

The Lawbringer nodded, walked to the side of the boat, and looked down, his gaze lost in thought.

"That happened thousands of years ago... I think I've already told you about myself, haven't I? The old antique and I are the Crimson Immortals of Shenzhou."

"this."

Lin Mao waved his hand, and ice elements painted a beautiful picture in the air.

The Lawbringer raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Lin Mao had this trick up his sleeve.

Kiana touched her chin. "Was the class president this big before?"

Lawyer of Knowledge: "..."

Lin Mao pointed at Kiana and smiled happily.

We still have to look to Kiana!

He immediately expressed what he wanted to say!

The Lawbringer snorted coldly and ignored the two silly roe deer.

Continued:

"I won't go into more detail. The old antique was injured before, which caused him to lose most of his memories. In addition, he needs to burn his memories to use his power now, so he can't remember many things."

"But I'm different. I possess the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge, and my memories are perfectly preserved in my mind. Regarding the Nine Netherworlds... Simply put, this is the ruins formed by a giant, sealed Honkai Beast."

The Lawbringer of Knowledge smacked his lips and said:

"It was sealed by Ji Xuanyuan, the original Saint Mark holder from thousands of years ago, also known as Ji Lin... That's all for now. There's no point in saying more information. If we were to explain the cause and effect in detail, it would probably take a very, very long time."

It would probably take more than a week to finish talking about it.

"I just don't know if that Honkai Beast is dead or alive... Oh well, whether it's dead or alive, it's no match for me!"

Those who understand the laws of self-confidence follow the Way.

"Such a large ruin, if it was formed by a Honkai Beast... then when it was alive, its strength was at least at the Judgment level."

Theresa's expression turned serious upon hearing the description from the Herald of Knowledge.

Mentally assess the risks of this operation.

If only Fu Hua and Himeko arrive, they will lead Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya on their exploration.

Theresa will most likely cancel this operation and wait to develop a more comprehensive plan and increase the resources available for exploration before attempting it again.

But that's different now.

There was a Law Master present, someone many times more powerful than a Law Master.

This configuration.

Let alone a Judgment-class Honkai Beast that has been sealed for thousands of years.

Even if a Herrscher appears, they'll still get slapped and then run to their mother crying.

As for resistance?

That's impossible.

After giving their instructions before the operation, Himeko and the others checked their equipment and glanced at Lin Mao and the Herrscher of Knowledge.

They jumped off the ship and dived into the sea.

"See you later!"

Kiana waved her hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't you dare try to run away!"

The three followed Himeko underwater. Lin Mao turned and exchanged a glance with the Herrscher of Knowledge. "How do you plan to infiltrate?"

The one who knew the law grinned and leaped into the air.

With two fingers held together, a phantom sword cleaved the sea in two.

The Lawbringer of Knowledge raised an eyebrow at Lin Mao, then jumped into it.

The voice of the Herrscher of Knowledge came from beside her ear, "If you can't get in, remember to ask me for help in the group. I love helping others the most!"

Helping others is a pretense; the real purpose is to laugh at oneself.

Wow!

Lin Mao jumped onto the seawater, and the water beneath his feet instantly turned to ice. He waved and shouted:

"Get out there and get to work!"

Two Star Demons bound by the Sitale contract appeared.

A dense surge of ice elemental energy appeared around them, freezing the bottomless seawater beneath their feet.

With Lin Mao's control, the elemental force in the middle of the ice block gathered to both sides, forming a solid wall to resist the heavy pressure of the seawater.

Lin Mao used Cetalorine, the Star Demon that looked like a body pillow, as a skateboard and slid straight down the middle...

"What's going on?" Kiana asked, hugging her shoulders and shivering. "It suddenly feels so cold around here."

Raiden Mei replied, "It's probably because of the depth of the dive..."

Bronya sensed something and turned to look in the direction she had come from. The seawater there was frozen by an unknown force at an incredible speed and was spreading in their direction.

"careful!"

Himeko saw it too and reminded Kiana and Raiden Mei, who then dodged to the side.

In the blink of an eye, a huge, downward-pointing icicle appeared in the area where they were.

Swish!

Kiana, who was about to ask what the icicle was, was staring at it when she suddenly seemed to see something flash by and rubbed her eyes.

He asked in the channel, "Did you guys see something flash by just now?"

"Saw."

Bronya replied, "It's Lin... the old witch."

She had just seen clearly that the figure that flashed by was undoubtedly Lin Mao.

"Huh? You can dive like that?"

"Is it that person?" Himeko swam over and asked, receiving an affirmative answer.

"Since it's that person, let's hurry down and enter the ruins to meet her. The Honkai energy content here is gradually increasing, and there might be Honkai Beasts appearing."

【Ding dong! 】

Lin Mao: @Kiana, there are Honkai Beasts below. I've frozen them all into ice blocks for you.

No sooner had Himeko finished speaking than Kiana received a message from Lin Mao.

A gradual sense of peace.

As they descended, Kiana and the others indeed saw the Honkai Beasts frozen in ice.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say fish corrupted by Honkai energy.

There were so many of them that if Lin Mao hadn't frozen them all, Kiana and the others would have had to exert a lot of effort to get through.

"This has been a huge help!"

Himeko sighed. So many creatures affected by the Honkai wouldn't have an easy time even if they were on guard.

Once they confirmed there was no danger, Himeko led the group to continue their descent.

"No, Shi Bao, how come you arrived even slower than me?"

"I am an old man."

"Grandma, I'm an old lady too."

"Can you be as old as me?"

'This is the first time I've seen people competing to see who's the oldest...'

Seth Lari was utterly speechless.

Himeko and the others, who had just passed through the water curtain and entered this space, had just taken off their diving suits when they heard Lin Mao and the Herrscher of Knowledge talking.

Lin Mao's voice was pleasant, as if he were very happy, while Shi Zhilu's was completely the opposite.

"Humph!"

Seeing Himeko enter, the Herrscher of Knowledge snorted coldly, ignoring Lin Mao, and turned to look at the somewhat unfamiliar Jiu You, her eyes flashing with reminiscence.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the sealing center and see if the holy marks you're looking for are there."

【Ding dong! 】

Lei Movie: @Nasida, you'd better keep an eye on the movements of the Abyss Order.

Lei Movie: In the areas of Huacheng Guo and Weimo Zhuang, there are many traces of the Abyss Cult's activities.

Lei Movie: I suspect they have some other plan in Sumeru.

Funina: Could it be that Ying's brother is really in Sumeru?

Ying: Are you there?! Once I find him, I'll see how I get there and kill him!

Ying: @Funingna, let me correct you. I, Ying, have only one brother in this life~ and that is! Lin Mao!

Lin Mao: ...

What did he do wrong?

I need something like this to punish myself.

"..."
