Wasn’t this hunting lineup a bit too extravagant?

Two Demigods and one Divine Emissary. The last time he had encountered a situation like this was back in Dunis.

When the carriage came to a halt, the red-eyed elder locked onto Fu Qian, taking his time before stepping down.

Even under the scrutiny of such an individual, Fu Qian remained perfectly calm. He even offered a graceful greeting.

”How should I address you?”

”Stoss.”

Seemingly surprised that Fu Qian cared about such formalities at a time like this, the old man hesitated for a moment before giving his name.

”And you?”

Fu Qian turned his gaze to the baby-faced woman.

...It was obvious the woman considered this self-introduction completely meaningless, but with precious jade is ahead, she found it hard to decline.

”Aike.”

”A pleasure.”

Fu Qian nodded and cast a glance further back.

”I won’t ask about him.”

Hmm?

At those words, Old Man Stoss’s gaze instantly sharpened.

”So, shouldn’t you introduce yourself as well?”

Aike stared at Fu Qian’s face and asked in a deep voice.

”Andiel.”

Fu Qian had already prepared an answer for this question.

”So, Mister Andiel... with your abilities, why was the carriage struck just now?”

Aike exchanged a look with Stoss. Ultimately, it was the latter who spoke, making no effort to hide that they already knew Fu Qian’s true strength.

”Don’t worry, I have no interest in deliberately drawing you here.”

Fu Qian waved his hand.

”I just like convertibles.”

...

Stoss and Aike simultaneously glanced at the carriage, which only had its lower half remaining. While it was indeed much more open and well-lit, the answer obviously lacked any persuasive power.

”Then let me phrase it differently. Why are you here?”

Aike’s tone had turned incredibly hostile.

”For the fire, of course!”

Fu Qian wore a deeply meaningful expression. After answering, he looked at the two of them.

”Aren’t you? Outsiders.”

Before his voice could even fade, a subtle change occurred in Fu Qian’s field of vision.

Stoss and Aike suddenly looked as if they were separated from him by vast stretches of space and time, rendering them untouchable.

He seemed to have been imprisoned by some special method.

At the same time, a scorching heat abruptly rose around him.

Almost instantly, the stone slabs beneath his feet melted into magma, drawing itself out into a Magma Longwhip that swept across everything, leaving Fu Qian nowhere to hide.

However, before the whip could strike him, a cloud of blood mist rose to meet it. At the same time, Fu Qian’s trapped figure vanished inch by inch.

”Where is he?”

Stoss had already stepped down from the carriage. He looked at the empty space before him, a hint of confusion in his tone.

”He likely escaped, though I am temporarily unsure of the method.”

The one answering him was not Aike, but a face that revealed itself from inside the carriage.

It was a pale middle-aged man. He looked thoroughly sickly, his eyes completely devoid of light.

Additionally, just like Aike and Stoss, traces resembling fire flickered across everything from his clothes to his skin.

”Are you trying to tell me that two Divine Emissaries attacked together, and still let the prey escape?”

Stoss was clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.

”More than that, it happened while Aike was distracting him for us.”

Yet, the middle-aged man didn’t mind exposing their own shortcomings at all.

”He escaped, and that’s that. There’s no point in talking about it.”

”Running into something like this right after coming in isn’t entirely a bad thing. It serves as a reminder of how bizarre this place is.”

”Besides, we didn’t come away entirely empty-handed, did we? This Andiel seems to have brought some interesting information.”

”I can’t figure out how the plan was leaked ahead of time.”

Aike finally found a chance to interject, frowning as she spoke.

”Also, it feels like this Andiel is different from the other characters we’ve encountered so far. Could he have been bluffing us? Is he actually someone who came in from the outside as well?”

”We can’t rule out that possibility.”

After listening earnestly to Aike, the middle-aged man nodded.

”But if that’s the case, the situation seems even worse—someone outside knows our plan and wants to sabotage it.”

”Do we still continue the exploration?”

Aike obviously hadn’t expected things to be this troublesome.

”Of course.”

The middle-aged man turned his head to inspect the interior of the carriage.

”Logan cannot wait any longer.”

The next moment, he waved his hand, and something shattered with a boom around the spot where Fu Qian had been standing.

The still-cooling magma subsequently spread outward, leaving behind glass-like traces on the ground.

”Let’s go. Just because this one got away doesn’t mean the next one will.”

...

Another Divine Emissary? High-ranking members of the Night Watchers?

Watching the people and the carriage disappear into the distance, Fu Qian, who was currently situated in an overlapping space, silently analyzed what he had just heard.

Compared to Stoss, the methods of the other Divine Emissary inside the carriage were clearly far more secretive and unpredictable.

From such a close distance earlier, he had only been able to sense someone inside, but he couldn’t observe any further details.

However, that final, somewhat familiar name helped him confirm the group’s origins to a degree.

Night Watchers Council member Logan. That old man’s ferocious style had definitely left a deep impression on Fu Qian.

Unfortunately, when facing the outlaw Ariel, his overconfidence had led him to crash headfirst into a Descended sun, resulting in a total collapse of both body and mind.

According to Yuan Shan, this individual was ultimately sent back to the Night Watchers Headquarters for treatment. Calculating the time, it had been about a month.

Could the purpose of this Hunting Squad coming to this special place be to find a way to treat him?

The extravagant composition of two Divine Emissaries and two Demigods certainly matched the status of this number one Transcendent organization.

Of course, that macho man in the trench coat could probably only be counted as half a person.

The reason he had said there was no need to ask for that man’s name earlier was because, in Fu Qian’s judgment, the man was highly likely a puppet-like entity.

On one hand, there was his slightly wooden reaction. On the other hand, unlike the other three, his body didn’t carry those special traces of fire.

Judging from his reaction after the probe, the guess was pretty close to the mark.

As for the manipulator behind him, it was highly probable that it was the gentleman inside the carriage.

...

Whether having such an extravagant Night Watchers team join the fray was a good or bad thing was hard to say.

It was obvious they were all seasoned, battle-hardened veterans.

Earlier, while Aike distracted him, the man in the carriage clearly took the opportunity to trap him in place, followed by Stoss stepping in for an instant kill.

The sequence of operations was undeniably exquisite.

Faced with such a lethal move, Fu Qian’s first reaction was to test the effectiveness of his Blood Crusade.

Facts proved that this dimension-crossing travel did indeed save him from being immolated by the fierce flames, but the imprisonment ability of the other Divine Emissary was quite exaggerated.

Even while in that superimposed state, moving around remained unusually strenuous.

At the same time, another issue was that the energy consumption was staggeringly high.

He didn’t know if it was due to the special nature of this place itself, but compared to when he tested it, the cost of Blood Crusade had surged by perhaps more than ten times.

If it had been anyone else, they likely would have been entirely drained of energy in less than five seconds.

Amidst his reflections, the blood mist swirling around Fu Qian dissipated, and he appeared once more on the Unseen Hill.
