Lightning-type E-rank? My Space-time-type S-rank can't be hidden anymore!

The Ninth Floor of the Abyss Demon Cave.

In the center of a magnificent palace stood a throne.

On either side of the throne, six Shadow Wolves lay on the ground, their attitude extremely respectful.

The golden patterns on their bodies are more complex than those of ordinary royal Shadow Abyss Wolves, and their dark aura is thick and frightening, indicating that their strength is all at the seventh or eighth rank.

If you release just one of them, the entire city's current defense forces in Hangzhou won't be able to defeat it.

On the throne sat a Shadowwolf.

It wasn't very big, a little smaller than the Shadow Abyss Wolves of the seventh or eighth tier next to it, and only about a size larger than an ordinary Shadow Abyss Wolf, with dark purple fur.

Its entire body was covered in golden patterns, but these patterns remained dark. Only its open eyes were entirely golden, with a thin vertical line in the pupil, exuding immense power.

This is a ninth-tier powerhouse, the Shadow Abyss Wolf King!

Beneath the throne, a sixth-tier Shadow Abyss Wolf lowered its head and spoke cautiously, its face full of doubt:

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Imperial Prince is only at the sixth level of the second rank. It would be too dangerous for him to go to Hangzhou alone. Even if most of the human powerhouses in Hangzhou were lured away by the Blood Eye Sect, it would still be dangerous."

"The second-tier strength is too weak. Why not wait for the seal to open a few more layers and send clansmen of the seventh tier or above?"

Upon hearing this, Shadow Wolf King merely glanced at him, yet he immediately felt an invisible pressure.

"Do you really think those few people from the Blood Eye Sect can break this century-old seal?"

The Shadow Abyss Wolf King spoke, his voice not loud, but heavy, resounding throughout the entire ninth floor, carrying an unyielding majesty.

The sixth-tier Shadow Abyss Wolf froze, and the other Shadow Abyss Wolves beside it also looked up, their faces full of confusion.

The Shadow Wolf King slowly stood up, his body enveloped in a dark aura that was so thick and heavy that no one could resist it.

"This seal was not created by humans; it was formed by the Earth itself, by condensing the rules of heaven and earth, to protect humanity on the surface."

"For centuries, we've attacked countless times, but the seals, those of the sixth rank and above, haven't budged an inch. Those lowly minions of the Blood Eye Sect simply can't break through!"

"The seals that are currently hindering the sixth rank and above are gradually weakening. Even without the Blood Eye Cult, in a few more years..."

The seal will open on its own; they just happened to arrive at the right time and offered a small helping hand.

The Shadow Abyss Wolf King looked at the dark purple crystal above its head with its golden eyes and said calmly:

"I never expected the Blood Eye Cult to break the seal; they were just a pawn in my game."

"I sent Xiaoqi so that it could carry something and find that statue."

The Blood Eye Cult thinks we're helping them? How ridiculous! From beginning to end, we've been the ones using them!

"As for Xiao Qi only having a second-tier cultivation level?"

The wolf king's lips curled into a cold smile, like a chess player watching his opponent obediently walk into his trap.

"Second-tier is best! Shadow Wolves of third tier or higher have too obvious an aura. As soon as they enter Hangzhou, they will be detected by human instruments and immediately attract high-level ability users to surround and kill them."

"Xiao Qi has the concealment technique I passed down. Even though he has the blood of an imperial clan, he can still hide his aura completely."

Even if a skilled human passed by it, they would only perceive it as an ordinary second-tier Shadow Abyss Wolf, the safest choice.

Upon hearing this, all the Shadow Wolves below lowered their heads and dared not ask any more questions.

This is a game that the wolf king has been planning for hundreds of years; it's not something they can interfere with at all.

The wolf king sat back on his throne, his voice calm:

"And if I'm not mistaken, some powerful human experts are already heading to Hangzhou. Tonight, we'll play half the game first, and deal with the rest later."

……

Meanwhile, a hundred miles northwest of Hangzhou.

The night was deep and dark, the moonlight glowing red.

A pale blue light flew rapidly from the north. It started as a small dot, but grew larger and larger, reaching an extreme speed.

It streaked across the sky, tearing the clouds in two, just like a man with a middle parting.

Instead of a shooting star, a middle-aged man arrived!

The middle-aged man wore a dark blue robe with the white crane emblem of Kyoto Academy printed on it. He had a thin face and some gray hair at his temples.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his body was enveloped in intense wind energy, moving at a terrifying speed.

He is Fang Qing, a seventh-tier, third-level expert and the chief wind-element instructor at Kyoto Academy. He possesses an S-level wind-element ability—Nine Heavens Wind Control!

He was on a business trip to Ningcheng, a thousand miles away, attending a meeting, but after finishing the meeting that evening, he went back to his hotel and lay down.

They received news that the seal on the Demon Cave in Hangzhou had broken and that they urgently needed help.

Upon seeing this news, Fang Qing immediately activated his supernatural abilities and rushed to Hangzhou without hesitation.

While traveling, he used his S-class ability to check the latest situation in Hangzhou.

Looking at the scene in the holographic projection, Fang Qing's heart sank completely.

The once bustling city of Hangzhou is now a shadow of its former self. Flames and thick smoke billow from the western district, and under the red moonlight, the entire city is a scene of devastation and ruin.

Fang Qing's brows furrowed even more, and his speed increased even further.

……

On the other side, in the lobby on the first floor of the Hexagon.

The Shadow Abyss royal, nailed to the pillar, was still twitching slightly, the green light in his eyes growing fainter and fainter, and he was about to die completely.

Lin Yuan walked barefoot over, his feet treading on gravel, wolf blood, and dust, step by step until he reached the pillar.

He reached out and grabbed the handle of the Purple Lightning Gun, pulling it out with a single hand.

The spear was instantly pulled out of the pillar, and crimson wolf blood flowed down the shaft, leaving a clear hole in the pillar. The firelight from outside shone through, illuminating the pool of blood on the ground.

Lin Yuan casually flicked the tip of his spear to wipe away the blood.

His movements were so casual, as if the creatures he had killed behind him were not three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss royals, but merely three insignificant little demonic beasts.

The purple lightning, combined with the thunder, pierced through the air and stabbed fiercely into the waist and abdomen of the second Shadow Abyss Wolf.

The Shadow Abyss Wolf was about to disappear into the shadows to escape when it had only used Shadow Travel halfway through its maneuver, its body half-real and half-illusory, and it didn't have time to become completely invisible.

The purple lightning spear pierced through instantly, the lightning-type power on the spear colliding violently with the shadow energy within its body, exploding into a cloud of silver-purple lightning mist.

The Shadow Wolf was blasted out of the shadows and crashed heavily to the ground, its body sliding more than ten meters away, leaving a deep furrow in the ground.

The third Shadow Abyss Wolf was terrified and turned to run away, muttering to itself as it did so:

"A monster! He's a complete monster! How can someone who's just broken through to the second tier, level 1, kill us second tier, level 5, royal bloodlines like chickens?"

It activated Shadow Shuttle with all its might, its entire body transforming into a stream of eerie green light, desperately rushing towards the Emperor's son in the center of the hall, not daring to look back at all.

It didn't dare to flee towards the old airport, but headed straight for the direction of the Emperor's son. At this moment, it had long lost all the pride of a demon beast, and poured all its shadow energy into escaping for its life, moving at an extreme speed.

But it forgot that the Purple Lightning Cloud-Chasing Spear has an extremely strong tracking effect, making it impossible to shake off!

The purple lightning spear in the air suddenly changed direction, activated its third stage of acceleration, and the lightning on the spear body surged, its speed far exceeding that of Shadow Shuttle, relentlessly chasing after the wild wolf.

As the wolf fled, it glanced back in terror and saw the tip of the purple lightning spear rapidly magnify in its pupils, causing it to scream in horror.

"Your Highness! Save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the purple lightning spear pierced straight through its back, pinning it to a load-bearing pillar deep inside the hall.

The spear pierced straight through the entire stone pillar, its tip protruding from the other end, drops of wolf blood dripping down its tip.

The wolf's massive body hung from the pillar, its limbs twitching incessantly, mouthfuls of blood and foam gushing from its mouth, and the eerie green light in its eyes gradually dimmed completely, leaving it lifeless.

Three shots, instantly killing three second-tier, fifth-level Shadow Abyss royals!
