After resting for two more days, Su Yang led Lin Anlan and John towards South Bay City. Upon arriving at the city gate, Su Yang applied a disguise spell to the two of them, then changed his own appearance as well. The three of them then swaggered towards the city gate.

They encountered no obstacles, since the city's order was to allow entry but not exit. Therefore, Su Yang and his companions easily entered the city. Relying on their memories, they returned to the inn they had stayed at, checked into their rooms again, and rested there, waiting for nightfall.

That night, the three of them took advantage of the darkness to arrive at the previous battlefield. Looking at the ruins everywhere, John walked towards his beloved workshop. Pushing aside the fallen wood, John found his most handy forging hammer, gently wiped off the dust, and carefully put it back into his bag, as if he had found his original companion again.

Su Yang walked around outside for a while before entering the crafting room. After observing for a while, he seemed to be attracted by something. He stopped in front of a dark bloodstain, gently touched it with his hand, and then stood up and walked to another bloodstain to examine it carefully. Lin Anlan was attracted by Su Yang's actions and curiously followed him to examine it. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Su Yang? Did you find anything?"

"Why is the content of light elemental particles so high here?" Su Yang told Lin Anlan about his discovery.

"I don't have the light element, so I don't understand what you're saying," Lin Anlan replied truthfully.

“I can sense that the light elemental energy here is much more abundant than in other places.” After hearing Su Yang’s discovery, John, who was also a light elementalist, felt it himself and found it to be true. He stepped forward, looked at the bloodstains, thought for a moment, and said, “This seems to be the blood of the Sky-Splitting Tiger. That day, the Sky-Splitting Tiger blocked several attacks for you and was injured, so its blood was everywhere. It seems that it was scattered all over this forging room.”

After hearing John's description, Su Yang was also deeply moved: "Good lad, I haven't spoiled you for nothing. From now on, I'll give you all the treasures first."

"John, can this elemental concentration be used to forge that bracelet?" Su Yang immediately thought of the material he had used for his bracelet and asked.

“I’m not sure either. We’ve been brainstorming ideas but haven’t started building it yet, but we can give it a try.” John seemed unsure of himself.

"I wonder if this can be considered a naturally formed elemental environment?" Lin Anlan was a little worried. What if this could not be determined to be a naturally formed elemental environment? Wouldn't that be a waste of an S-grade material?

"Butterfly, what do you think?" Su Yang gently asked, stroking the Cloud Ring.

“I think it’s fine. The blood of the S-rank light element beast, the Sky-Splitting Tiger, contains a large amount of light element. Combined with the sunlight these past few days, it has created such a rich light element environment. Moreover, it won’t last long. I estimate that it will dissipate as the blood’s effects wear off in a few more days. Therefore, it can be considered a naturally formed elemental environment.” Die’er did not appear in person, but expressed her opinion directly through the ring.

“In that case, let’s not delay. John, take this money and go prepare some materials tomorrow. I’ll try to get you to start forging the day after tomorrow.” With that, Su Yang took out a dozen gold coins and handed them to John, instructing him to prepare the forging materials.

John accepted the gold coins in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment. Su Yang didn't waste any words either, and pulled him and Lin Anlan back. He was worried that if they stayed any longer, they would be discovered and it would be even more troublesome to explain themselves.

Back at the hotel, Lin Anlan was about to take a shower and rest when she heard a gentle knock on the door. Opening it, she found Su Yang. After letting him into the room, Lin Anlan asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking for me so late?"

"Anlan, I plan to take action tomorrow."

"What do you plan to do?" Hearing that Su Yang was going to take action tomorrow, Lin Anlan was also a little excited. Perhaps it was because so many pent-up emotions had been stuck in her heart and she wanted to vent them.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll each go separately to find out the city lord's and White's whereabouts. Then, we'll kill White first, and then take the token of White's death to the city lord. I'll arrange the specifics tomorrow. As for that blue-robed bishop, we'll leave him alone for now. We can't afford to offend the Church of Saints for the time being, so we can only avoid him." Su Yang briefly explained his considerations and waited for Lin Anlan's reply.

"Since you've already made up your mind, then I naturally have no objections."

"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'm going back to my room now. See you tomorrow morning." After saying that, Su Yang got up to leave. Lin Anlan watched his back and said, "Okay, you get some rest too."

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Su Yang knocked on Lin Anlan's door. After tidying themselves up and changing their appearances, the two left the inn. Lin Anlan went to the city lord's mansion, while Su Yang went to Viscount White's residence. The two went their separate ways.

Lin Anlan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. There were only two soldiers on duty outside the gate. Unfamiliar with the layout of the mansion, Lin Anlan went around to a deserted corner and climbed over the wall to get inside. He planned to check the layout of the entire City Lord's Mansion first. After circling the mansion a few times, he found that all the doors and windows of the City Lord's Mansion were tightly closed, and there were soldiers patrolling. Although there were not many of them, and they were in pairs, the patrol frequency was too high, and it was not easy to get close to the mansion for a while. So Lin Anlan climbed over the wall again, planning to wait until Gu Pa went to work and then pretend to be a citizen on business to go in and find an opportunity to control Gu Pa.

Su Yang's progress was also not going smoothly. White had increased his defenses after the last invasion of his mansion. The guards of the entire Viscount's mansion were much tighter. Moreover, from the outside, all the doors and windows were reinforced with protective gear, and the number of patrolling private soldiers had increased exponentially. Su Yang waited for a long time, but he did not see these private soldiers change shifts or rest.

As dawn broke, Su Yang had been waiting outside the wall for a long time. Finally, his opportunity arrived. A man who appeared to be in charge spoke to the private soldiers, and they all began to leave the mansion. Su Yang quietly followed behind, found an opportunity to deal with a lone private soldier, stole his clothes and put them on, then disguised himself to look like the soldier. After getting ready, Su Yang returned to the Viscount's mansion.

Upon arriving at the manor gate, Su Yang peered through the iron gate and saw that the main gate was already open, with many servants cleaning. He patted the iron gate, and soon someone came over and asked, "The guard duty is over, why haven't you gone back to your quarters to rest yet?"

"Oh, I just remembered something I need to report to the Viscount. I wonder if he has woken up yet? May I inform him?" Su Yang said, following the script he had prepared.

"Oh, then wait a moment. The master should be washing up. I'll go and inform him. You can come in and stay in the reception room first." The servant opened the iron gate, let Su Yang in, and left after leading him to the reception room.

Su Yang waited for a long time before finally being received. He followed the servant to another reception room on the first floor, where he saw White sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"My lord, the person has been brought here," the servant reported, bowing his head.

"Hmm, so you said you had something to report? What is it? Go ahead." White glanced at Su Yang, recalling that there was such a private soldier, and then allowed Su Yang to report.

“My lord, I have something important to report, may I…” Before Su Yang could finish speaking, White waved his hand and interrupted, “You may leave.” After dismissing the servants, the door to the reception room closed, leaving only Su Yang and White inside.

"Alright, go ahead and speak." White was starting to get impatient and gestured for Su Yang to speak quickly.

Su Yang slowly approached and sat down directly on the sofa opposite White. This rude act instantly enraged White, who yelled, "You bastard! Who gave you permission to sit down!"

"My lord, please don't be angry." Su Yang smiled slightly and continued, "Does my lord still remember the person we surrounded and attacked in the north of the city a few days ago?"

White recalled for a moment, then remembered the previous attack on Su Yang, and said, "Why are you bringing this up? And what's wrong? Get up right now!" Seeing that Su Yang not only didn't get up but continued to sit on the sofa, White's anger soared.

"It's good that you remember, sir. I was afraid you wouldn't, and that would truly sadden me." With that, Su Yang slowly dispelled his disguise, revealing his true appearance, and said, "I wonder if you can still recognize me now, sir?"

White was shocked when he saw this, because the person sitting opposite him was the high-level elementalist he had besieged that day. Instinctively, White raised his hand, preparing to launch an elemental attack, but Su Yang was faster. The moment he raised his hand, a flying sword sliced ​​off his arm, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Then White's shrill scream echoed throughout the entire mansion.

"It seems you still remember me, sir. Since you dared to ambush me back then, you should have been prepared to be killed." After saying this, Su Yang unleashed another longsword, cleanly severing White's head. The screams ceased abruptly, leaving only blood flowing on the sofa and floor. Su Yang tore off White's outer garment and wrapped it around his head. Upon opening the door, he found the room filled with guards and servants who had come to check on the situation. Seeing the dripping blood from the object Su Yang was carrying, and then looking into the reception room where a headless corpse lay slumped on the sofa, the servants with weaker constitutions immediately retreated in fear. The other guards stepped forward to subdue Su Yang, but Su Yang did not linger. He released his elemental pressure, knocking all the guards and servants down, and then quickly left the Viscount's mansion with White's head, running towards the city lord's mansion.
