”Oh, I almost forgot about that celestial-grade sword given by Emperor Shu. Allen could practically one-shot everyone below supreme realm with ease.” Mark was very much satisfied with the results of the double upgrade.

Of course, there is also a slight dissatisfaction too. It is the restriction of the attack power, ”Too bad that he won’t be a match for either the zheng or that biological mother of mine.”

”Anyways, I don’t have time to think about unnecessary things. There are only two days left for Ouyang Zen’s birthday and I will have to leave tomorrow. So, whatever preparations are necessary, they should be done today,” thought Mark as he reached upstairs.

He went to his room where Allen just opened his eyes and was observing himself, opening and clenching his fists.

Upon spotting his master, he quickly bowed without being able to hide his smile as he was too happy to see Mark after so long. ”Big Bro…”

Mark then went on asking about his meeting with the Necromancer King.

Allen didn’t leave any detail during his explanation. ”Sister Alina sacrificed herself in exchange for our lives. But, the enemy didn’t know that she purposely gave her core to us instead of destroying it so that she could be revived later on. Thankfully, everything went on our way and Lin Xue managed to return safely, although we lost the sun and moon brooch, the scythe of doom, and her storage ring.”

Mark was slightly surprised when he heard those words as Allen was in an unconscious state and couldn’t have known what happened later on.

But then, as he remembered how Alina had the access to his memories, Mark realized that Allen probably had the same function now that he is at rank-8.

Mark then patted Allen’s shoulder, ”Don’t worry. Alina will be revived in due time. But, I’ll have to bother you with a couple of errands. We don’t have much time.”

Allen automatically read what was on his master’s mind but he didn’t speak it out. Instead, he gathered his feet and gave a salute, and asked, ”Your orders, Big Bro?”

Mark then turned serious as he said, ”I need you to go to the imperial palace and remind the Chief Eunuch about the lunch invitation, then, meet the third prince to repay the favor with information on the organization name Soul.

After that, go to the Galaxy guild and put up an information request on how to contact Soul.

Then, travel to the Kunyu valley to meet our friends there and hand over the letter I’ll give you. You will have to do everything before tomorrow’s sunrise. Can you manage it?”

”Of course, Big Bro.” Allen nodded firmly.

Soon, the android left the store to accomplish the tasks given by his master.

And in just five hours, he returned with good news, surprising Mark with his efficiency.

After reporting the news to Mark and giving him the documents with information on ’Soul’ written in it, he rushed to the kitchen to supervise Xie Mei.

For the past ten days, she was the one who did the cooking as she doesn’t want to be a freeloader, well, and also to impress Mark and Song Yue.

Song Yue didn’t mind it as she treated the teenager as her younger sister but Mark wouldn’t shower praise on her as he doesn’t want to encourage her.

At the same time, he would also purposely compare her cooking with Allen and Alina’s, stating that she has a long way to go.

And now that Allen has returned, he was enthusiastic to make dishes for his master but Mark doesn’t want him to cook as it would be disrespectful to his strength.

So, he gave him the job to supervise Xie Mei and also train the butler robots in assisting the cook.

Sitting on his bed, Mark started reading the information given by Shang Wei. The latter collected it from the fourth prince and didn’t hesitate to give it to Allen as the organization is rumored to be the one who took up the assignment from his eldest brother.

He doesn’t know why Mark wanted this information but if this will help him take down the crown prince for good, Shang Wei would gladly cooperate.

”The information only contained various operations allegedly done by this organization. I need the locations of their hideouts or their names. Without them, all of these were nothing.

But, the info says that Shang Zexi and Nie Rougang might know one of their offices. So, Shang Wei wasn’t in the Wuji sect by coincidence. He was trying to escape the assassination by staying there in secret, huh?

But, according to the articles from the newspaper, he was being imprisoned in the Wuji sect and I saved him when I destroyed the sect due to my personal issues with them.

What a story he cooked up.” Mark smirked as he shook his head.

”Anyways, it has nothing to do with me. Let’s focus on how to make contact with this mysterious organization. Wait a second. They do assassinations right?” It was at that moment an idea popped up in his head.

Mark’s eyes lit up as he mumbled, ”To lay a trap for them, I need to put a bounty on myself. Let’s make someone meet either the crown prince or Nie Rougang and request them to do this… Nah, that’s a bad idea.”

He immediately thought that if a bounty has been placed on his head, ’Soul’ might target Song Yue too.

Mark knows nothing about the strength of this organization and wouldn’t underestimate them just because he is in the supreme realm. Furthermore, they might not even accept the mission in the first place as the news of him and his super bodyguard destroying the Wuji sect was already spread all over the continent.

So, he will have to put someone vulnerable.

Mark doesn’t want to risk with Song Yue. The Black Knight is still Song Yue’s father. Hence, he is also not suitable.

Allen can act as bait but he is too close to Mark’s heart. With the demise of Alina, Allen has become more precious. The zheng and the gold dragon were too strong. Manticore and Anan are beasts. Chang Bo is an unrelated person.

That leaves just one person.

”Yup, Xie Mei and her griffin can be the bait I need. I’ll leave her at the store and travel to the Eastern Sun with the others. On the surface, she and Chang Bo will manage the store in my absence.

I planned to return to this city in secret using my teleportation skill anyways. Once the war starts in Western Yan, people will be too busy to take of the situation in the Imperial city.

This is what those assassins will think and tries to kill Xie Mei. They will fall into my trap. Once I capture them and get the name, I’m going to reveal my real strength. Until then, I need to be patient and careful with my plans.”

Meanwhile, at the Bloodhill forest;

In the innermost sector of the forest, an army of undead was standing in a line like spectators as two figures were rigorously battling a dragon.

Under the relentless assaults from both of them, the dragon has fallen eventually. Once it collapsed, its core was taken out and all of the energy inside it was slowly absorbed by the Necromancer King while Alina was healing her injuries using the natural energy from her surroundings.

The process went on for the whole night.

As the dawn of the next day arrived, the Necromancer King opened his eyes and clenched his fist, ”Advanced stage of the Ninth-circle, finally, I managed to reach my former strength. Now, for my mount…”

He looked at the corpse of the dragon.
