Chapter 298 Dual Trails, Simultaneous Change! (Two chapters combined into one)

Eastern Continent, Southern Region.

In the dark forest, in an inconspicuous corner, a broken dagger covered in dust lay quietly in the soil, as if it had been abandoned long ago.

An invisible wind blew by, and the dagger suddenly trembled, with intricate runes flashing on it, outlining the shape of a tall tower.

The space rippled slightly, and then a figure slowly appeared.

"We're back again—"

Compared to last time, the power of death here is much stronger. Just breathing here makes Lin Feng feel death beckoning to him.

Fortunately, he didn't need to stay for too long.

Lin Feng dared not delay and began the descent ritual.

The inheritor of the eternally burning blood, the newly born King of Life and Death and Fire —

"The True Dragon's Master, a Legend of Resurrection —"

"The Creator who glimpsed the embers of truth —"

Ashes are the base, blood is the ink, and flames are the catalyst.

"I beg you, come forth here!"

An invisible force descended from the heavens, and the flames rising within the rune array quickly subsided, coalescing into Xiao Yun's figure.

In order to avoid being noticed by the Son of Death, Xiao Yun deliberately concealed his aura when he descended, without disturbing even the surrounding plants and trees.

If it weren't for the living aura emanating from him that was so out of place with his surroundings, Lin Feng would have had no chance of noticing his arrival.

The descent ceremony concluded successfully, and Xiao Yun showed no abnormalities, allowing Lin Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey boss, if you're done here, I'll be going now."

He was very clear about his role in this operation; staying here would only cause trouble for Xiao Yun.

It's definitely not because he's afraid of death.

Xiao Yun glanced at him with a half-smile, gave a faint "hmm," and waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

Lin Feng felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He bowed, picked up the dagger from the mud, and was about to find a place to rearrange the spawn point.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Yun was up to, it was definitely not something a small fry like him could get involved in. He should stay far away as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.

Sensing the terrifying aura rapidly approaching from not far away, Lin Feng suddenly realized what was happening and cried out in terror, "The Overlord of the Dead! Damn it, how could I be so unlucky!"

A terrifying force of death surged forth like a tidal wave, as if pressing him down into the deep sea, making it impossible for him to move.

Lin Feng's face was ashen, and he cursed inwardly, "It's all over, it's really over this time. I should never have taken this job. What was with pretending to be grateful? I've just dug myself into a hole!"

Just then, the Overlord of the Dead arrived.

The crazy eating words echoed in Lin Feng's mind, and he seemed to see his great-grandmother standing on the other side of death, beckoning to him.

In his despair, he looked at Xiao Yun, only to find that the other party seemed to be stunned, quietly watching the Overlord of the Dead, showing no intention of making a move.

Lin Feng's heart turned completely cold, and just then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The overlord of the dead descended from the sky from afar, taking small, nervous, even fearful steps, and ran all the way to Xiao Yun, bowing his head respectfully.

That look was exactly like how Lin Feng's cunning boss greeted higher-ups when he worked there.

"Tantai Qingxuan respectfully welcomes Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yun quickly reached out to support him and replied, "Mr. Tantai, there's no need to be so reserved. Miss Yue Liang and I are old friends. Although we are nominally master and servant, we are actually just expedient measures to fight against death. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Feeling Xiao Yun's humility and politeness, Tantai Qingxuan's goodwill towards him increased even more.

But while Xiao Yun can be so humble, he cannot be so ignorant.

After all, in a world where great power is concentrated in individuals, strength is the only true measure of success.

Therefore, although Tantai Qingxuan restrained himself somewhat, his attitude actually became more and more respectful and polite.

Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly. At this crucial moment, there was no time to argue with him. He went straight to the point: "Mr. Tantai, I begged you to confirm the location of the Child of Death. Have you confirmed it?"

Tantai Qingxuan nodded, pointed to the dark mountain range in front of him, and said, "It's confirmed. It's inside this mountain, inside the main tower of the Tower of Death."

He paused, his expression somewhat strange, and then said, "Moreover, with the help of a large number of colleagues who have suddenly appeared recently, more than half of the Tower of Death on the Eastern Continent has already been filled with [True Seeds]."

"I'm not very clear about the information on other continents, but judging from our recent growth, our progress should be pretty good as well."

Tantai Qingxuan glanced at Xiao Yun without showing any emotion, noticing that the other party remained calm, as if he had anticipated the current situation. He couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "My king looks young, yet his mind and strength are truly outstanding. Perhaps, this time, he can truly end this calamity of death in one fell swoop!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he secretly sized up Xiao Yun, his admiration and approval practically overflowing: "I wonder—whether Your Majesty is still looking for a girlfriend? My little moon is quite a catch—"

Just then, Xiao Yun suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts: "Mr. Tantai, you've had a hard time, but—that fellow isn't in this mountain."

Tantai Qingxuan raised his head, his brows furrowing slightly. "That shouldn't be the case. The main tower is the core of death, and I personally witnessed the cocoon of death," and there was a continuous flow of death power being supplied here. There shouldn't be any mistake.

This is intelligence he obtained by risking exposure to peek at the data at the end of the road, having several colleagues pretend to be crazy, and even going so far as to become half-crippled to verify it. It should be accurate.

Xiao Yun didn't speak, but just looked at the preview system panel.

[The Child of Death received a death warning and has moved to its birthplace. It is currently located on an island in the middle of Lake Heber, directly east of you.]

"That guy, who wields death power that's almost at the level of a rule, can't be judged by common sense."

Xiao Yun responded calmly, offering no further explanation, and strode toward the location given by the system.

Tantai Qingxuan hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I have secretly contacted some colleagues these past few days, and they will be here soon. If we all work together, our chances of winning will be much greater."

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "No need. The more people there are, the stronger the killing intent will be, and the easier it will be for that guy to notice."

He paused, then suddenly turned his head and smiled confidently: "Besides, your presence actually limited my performance."

Tantai Qingxuan was taken aback, then smiled with relief and nodded respectfully, saying, "Then I wish my king swift success and the annihilation of this calamity in one fell swoop."

"I will."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and finally pointed to Lin Feng standing to the side.

This guy was still in shock that the Overlord of the Dead was Xiao Yun's subordinate, and hadn't come to his senses.

"Mr. Tantai, this kid is terrified of dying. Take him to a safe place."

Tantai Qingxuan nodded, and Lin Feng suddenly came to his senses, a look of embarrassment and annoyance flashing across his face.

"I call this self-preservation—"

He muttered something under his breath, and Xiao Yun chuckled softly before walking away on his own.

Along the way, Xiao Yun used the state of "unity of man and nature" to calm his mind and focus his spirit, making himself feel like a wisp of wind roaming the heavens and earth, ethereal and unknown.

He minimized his murderous intent in hopes of evading the senses of the Son of Death.

This method was very effective. Even with the [Thousand Faces] effect not fully activated, the dead on the road hardly noticed Xiao Yun.

Soon, Xiao Yun arrived at Lake Haiper.

The lake, as deep and dark as ink, was shrouded in thick fog, and a small island could be faintly seen in the center of the lake.

In Xiao Yun's crimson-gold eyes, rune lines crisscrossed.

Within the vision of the Myriad Realms, an extremely dense death force, hidden on the island in the middle of the lake, surged forth, exactly the same as that on the Child of Death.

"This is it."

But before he could feel any joy, he saw a pair of gray-black eyes slowly rise from the surging power of death and meet his gaze.

"Welcome, my friend!"

The voice of the Son of Death echoed in my ears, filled with excitement and mockery.

"To be able to transcend death and control the overlord-level dead is indeed unexpected."

"But what makes you think that I, who control [death], would be completely unaware of this?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yun heard a furious and hoarse dragon roar from behind him, in the direction of the black mountains.

Then, the power of the spear surged forth, colliding with the power of another overlord of the dead.

Without much guessing, Xiao Yun realized that it was Tantai Qingxuan, Lu Jin, and the Dark Frost Dragon fighting.

Seeing Xiao Yun's gloomy face, the Son of Death's smile grew even more delighted.

"I know what you're thinking. My friend—this guy's aura is only at the sixth sequence. At least if we kill him, everything will be over."

"Then why don't you guess where all those wild monsters that used to roam the world went? They are living beings too, so why didn't they become part of the army of the dead like humans?"

The Son of Death grinned from ear to ear and snapped his fingers lightly.

The lake surface began to tremble, and within the deathly power so dense it was almost tangible, countless enormous eyes opened.

Among them, a massive skeletal giant, as large as a mountain, possessed a particularly terrifying aura. Just by glancing at him, Xiao Yun felt his spirit tremble.

"That's—the original overlord-level monster, the Demon Corpse!"

"Good eye, but this Lord of the Corpses has already transcended the realm of overlords after embracing death."

The Son of Death touched it as if admiring a perfect work of art: "You can also call it by its new name—[The Legend of the Death Demon]."

In the ancient city, Ji Mingyu, who was patrolling the defense line, suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch twice.

"What happened? Is there a problem with A-Yun?"

Ji Mingyu hesitated for only a second before turning around and walking towards the command post.

Xiao Yun's true form is there. If something really happens on the other side of the descendant, he will not hesitate to use external force to interrupt the descent ritual.

No plan is more precious than a friend's life.

However, as soon as he stepped off the defensive line, he ran into another group of people.

Jing Feiwan, who was leading the group, was explaining something when he saw him. His eyes lit up, and he waved, "Minister Ji, come quick! Our president has brought reinforcements!"

As she spoke, she turned to the others and introduced them: "This is Ji Mingyu, the Minister of the Criminal Law Department of Wuyou Township and also the acting temporary commander for this mission."

A group of people greeted him, with the most enthusiastic being the president of Wuyou Township: "I know him! He's President Xiao's beloved family and friends, his brothers and sisters! Legend has it that his strength is no less than President Xiao's, a true prodigy of our time!"

As he spoke, he suddenly exclaimed softly, "Hey, Minister Ji, your complexion—why does it look so bad? Were you injured just now?"

"No, no, I'm just too tired."

Ji Mingyu forced a smile, staring intently at the president of Wuyou Township, a barely perceptible look of shock and panic flashing in his eyes.

He had heard Xiao Yun mention the mystery and power of the leader of Wuyou Township long ago.

The last time the president appeared at Ideal Country, he happened to be outside and couldn't meet him.

But at that time, the chairman appeared with Gu Shen, and after that, he and Wang Tianyuan encountered a life-or-death crisis, which was too coincidental.

He had always been curious about the president's true identity and secretly wondered about his relationship with Gu Shen.

But it wasn't until we met today that he truly discovered this incredible truth.

"The president of Wuyou Village looks exactly like Gu Shen!"

Ji Mingyu roared inwardly, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, almost losing control of his emotions.

They are not twins, nor is it some kind of illusion; it is a similarity at the level of the soul!

With the power of the Abyss, he couldn't possibly be wrong!

"If Gu Shen is the ridiculously powerful president of Wuyou Township, then who is our Utopia's vice president, who can't even kill a chicken?

'

A cold glint flashed in Ji Mingyu's eyes, but he remained outwardly calm. He nodded slightly to the crowd and said, "I'm too tired today. Minister Jing and the Chamber of Commerce President will guide you through the defense line. I won't keep you company any longer. Sorry."

Seeing how tired he looked, no one said much, only telling him to take a rest.

Ji Mingyu strode away, not returning to the command post as planned, but instead turning around and heading straight for Ideal Country.

If his guess is correct, then Gu Shen, who has been lurking until now with unclear motives, is a threat even more serious than death!

After he left, a hint of helplessness flashed in Gu Shen's eyes: "So he was found out after all. No wonder it's the abyss of chaos."

Meanwhile, at the Ideal State Research Institute.

Gu Shen silently gazed at the laboratory, now transformed into a bloody inferno, and at Elder Kong, who was conducting a ritual within it as if he were a madman, and sighed softly, "However, it's too late to realize this now."
