Chen Rui

Chen Rui touched the mask on his face, the forehead part was completely restored. In other words, the "God-Eating Mask" was now a complete artifact!

However Shea discovers the intruder and mistakenly believes he is of the Beelzebub Family, returning. The Beelzebub family was the sworn nemesis of Lucifer Family after what Glorfin rebelled 400 years ago, so Shea vehemently attacks the masked intruder with all her Great Demon King might.

After they fight for a while, Chen uses Teleport.

Chen Rui suddenly feels a loud "Poom!" in his head, then numerous scary sounds roared at the same time as if there were thousands of wraith howling at his ears. Not only that, all of the terrifying power rushed toward his consciousness. If this continued, his entire mental state would collapse in a few seconds!

Facing more troubles when the situation is bad enough. This damn mask actually causes such trouble at such timing!

Chen Rui activated "Star Devouring" mode without hesitation. The Super System's solar system instantly became a blackhole that devoured infinitely. This simulation that imitated the universe was indeed strong. Countless horrifying forces was sucked into the blackhole, and they were completely devoured finally. Chen Rui didn't know what impact these forces, including Glorfin's consciousness would bring after being devoured by "Star Devouring", but it was the only way to save his life at the moment.

After devouring these forces, the heat on the "God-Eating Mask" gradually faded away. After the Star Devouring mode was restored to the original solar system, another notification sounded in the brain: Unknown metadata found. Activate <Deep Analysis>?

Unknown metadata? It must be related to the mystery of the mask. Chen Rui chose to activate without hesitation. <Deep Analysis> was different from studying by collecting information through vision and hearing. It was performed automatically in the brain. He didn't need to keep his eye on the target.

Turns out that Chen teleported to some royal courtyard.

After fully expanding his senses, he noticed that there seemed to be a faint moan of a man and woman and some kind of colliding sound from a room in the courtyard.

It seemed that under the influence of the Pervert God Mask, even "Dark Will" had become a Pervert God Ring and picked such a good place to teleport. As someone with experience, Chen Rui was no stranger to this kind of sound. However, it was purely a coincidence that he peeped on Shea while she was showering. Now, he had no mood to peek into the privacy of others for doing their "business".

At that moment, the man's voice suddenly became louder. It sounded familiar. The content was nothing more but the rude language used to vent during "special moments". Chen Rui remembered that this voice was actually Joseph! Is this Joseph's base camp?

Joseph Alvin, Shea Lucifer, Alice Lucifer, Kia Beelzebub

The two sides of the competition were Princess Royal Shea's Dark Moon Elite Team and Joseph's Red Cloak Team. Whoever won this game would win a series of industries controlled by the other party. That meant that the final winner would completely control the economic situation of the Dark Moon.

Joseph's predicament in the previous days was well-known. There were rumors that the eldest son of the Red Spirit Lord was also in a bad situation in the Red Spirit Estate. He was sanctioned by his father, Lord Josh, and fell out of favor.

Both teams were at the Midrank Demon level.

However, even with a considerable chance of winning, Joseph still prepared an insidious trump card. He was ready to destroy everything when he failed. These days he had instructed Royce to plant huge explosive and burning magic traps in many places in the Dark Moon. Not only at his own industry, but also near the Princess Retail Store and the joint chamber of commerce. In case of failure, he would immediately launch it while he fled back to the Red Spirit or the capital. He would stay incognito for a period of time before seeking a comeback.

But soon Shea's team scored 2 goals on Joseph, and the Joseph looked like he was going to lose the game.

So Joseph left the stadium, and meanwhile someone handed Alice and Kia a note saying that Chen Rui allegedly returned. They came all the way to the empty house in the eastern block. There Joseph greeted them saying he wishes to take Alice away to take care of her.

But Kia attacks Joseph with Continuous Fireballs.

Chen Rui, Delia

Along the way, Chen Rui learned from Delia that after she had dealt with the affairs of Leia Town in accordance with Christina's order the last time, she had been worrying about "Richard" who was taken away by the noblewoman. Yet, strangely, Christina seemed to have disappeared. She didn't return to Leia Town, and her whereabouts were unknown.

When Delia returned to the Dark Shadow capital, her elder brother, also the Fire Blade Legion's Commander, Broc reported from the heavily-fortified Jergal Fortress and pleaded guilty to Queen Catherine.

The reason was that Broc had a conflict with the noblewoman, Christina while investigating the disappearance of scouts. Broc was also attacked by a mysterious person (Richard) and got poisoned.

Broc pled guilty to Catherine. Catherine accepted and even punished Christina by forcing her to go into solidarity.

The history of the Shadow Empire Civil War is also explained.

They arrive at Silent Night Wetland.

**Characters**
Chen Rui, Joseph Alvin, Shea Lucifer, Tim

A meeting is held at the Lucifer palace over appointing the new finance minister and sheriff.

When Joseph promises to deliver 30% more food to Dark Moon, he is re-appointed as finance minister--though Tim's father Ford initially opposed.

As for the new Sheriff / Public Security Officer, Ford and Lombardo fight over who to replace Alan. Ford wanted Tim to take the position.

Joseph's gaze fell on Shea's face. Shea was just staring at Tim without any expression. She looked slightly moved. Based on the analysis of the current situation, Alan was definitely unable to be re-elected. Eliminating the bandits at the west was such a good opportunity, so Shea wouldn't give up this hard won chance. She would definitely regain control over the sheriff's placement. Tim was a perfect candidate. Lombardo and Old Ford could be considered as forces that mutually offsetting each other. Moreover, Lombardo wasn't truly a force under Joseph. Instead of letting Tim, a hidden trouble to have control over the Dark Moon's military power, Jospeh might as well go along with "Aguile's" scheme...

Joseph's eyes fell on Chen Rui, who had been silent, "Does everyone remember that during the quarterly meeting, when I recommended Chen Rui as the new mining officer, I once said that if the issue at Xilang mountain is resolved, then I will further recommend him as the sheriff."

Shea said calmly, "Since there is such a document, then the Dark Moon City's sheriff will be assigned to the mining officer, Chen Rui. After 2 years of disappearance, Tim made great contributions, so he shall temporarily return to Xilang as the mining officer. Also, he shall concurrently serve as the captain of West Route Defense Forces, whose responsible for the development of the mine and the defense at the west of Dark Moon. The maximum number of defense forces is limited to one-third of the imperial guards. The other rewards will be given later."

And so Chen became the new Sheriff of Dark Moon, replacing Alan.

Paglio, Chen Rui, Athena, Gangke

Paglio was just teasing Chen. He shows Chen his progress on solitaire. Chen reveals a simpler solution (but not the simplest one, to keep others on their heels).

Meanwhile, Paglio remembers the contract and asks Athena to get some barbecue for him (Paglio poisoned Athena, and she needs to return every 7 days for an antidote).

Paglio then Chen if he managed to get in bed with Athena. Chen criticizes Paglio, saying he only thinks with the lower half of his body, and says that Athena is actually a nice person deep down.

Anyways, Chen and Paglio get to work on learning Dragon Inscriptions (龙语铭文) to help free Paglio:

Athena returns with the meat, and Chen begins cooking. After the full meal, Athena asks for the antidote, and Paglio reluctantly pulls out three pills. Chen looked at the pills in disgust, thinking them to be knock-offs. Paglio sees Chen's disgust and gives him a Jade Pearl.

Athena draws her sword, and Paglio lets Chen go. Chen and Athena return home with the detoxification pill. Athena then blames herself for bringing Alice to the Blue Lake in the first place. Otherwise, they never would have gotten into the mess with Paglio.

"I truly want to fight till death with the poison dragon. The people of the Wales Family would rather die from a battle than accepting any threats!"

"Wait, if you provoke the poison dragon, he will never give the antidote anymore. Isn't that harming Alice?"

Chen Rui had hit Athen's soft spot. She sat down dejectedly and the voice brought a rare sobbing tone, "Alice is my best friend and Wales Family is greatly cherished by Lord of Midnight Sun. My father specially sent me to the Dark Moon Estate, I need to protect the Crown Prince, Grimm's descendants with my life. Yet, I made such an unforgivable mistake! What should I do?"

Chen urges Athena to calm down and take the pill.

Athena does and after recovering said, "Chen Rui, you are the bravest human I have ever seen. You are also a responsible man. These few days, I've already treated you as a friend. Let me know if you need any help. I, Athena. Wales will never say no!"

Chen then recalls that Paglio said that in the Demon Realm at least, usually friendship leads to love.

Chen and Athena return to the Dark Moon Gate, where they are greeted by an upset Alice and centaur named Gangke (刚克). Gangke accuses Chen of thievery and is about to arrest him, when Athena draws her sword and attacks Gangke. Athena says:

"Chen Rui is my friend, I will behead whoever that dares to touch him!"

Chen Rui, Aguile, Shea Lucifer

She is impressed by Chen Rui's achievements and how he solved the waste ore problem.

## Mount Xilang revisited

Chen rode the Demon King-level wyvern to the suburbs with the other three hidden wyverns and flew toward Mount Xilang and the cabin Athena was living in.

The moment Joseph returned left Red Spirit to return to Dark Moon was the time he would wipe out the bandits and clear the west channel. When the moment came, he would not give Joseph time to respond and directly take the sheriff position, which would further trigger the conflict between Alan and Joseph.

Chen Rui already knew from Royce that Alan and Joseph were using the scheme of pretending to be enemies on the surface, but they were secretly on good terms. However, he was well aware of Alan's personality; Mikas' death and Arux's battle must have caused a crack. If he went along with Joseph's original "proposal" to win the sheriff's position, then this crack would have continued to expand. That was when he could really execute the plan of eliminating Joseph using Alan.

When Chen arrives at Mount Lugang, he is informed that Athena and Gade entered the main pit of the mines. Chen is then worried.

Although Dior lacked ability, he was by no means a fool. He clearly knew that the Dark Moon's support for him wasn't so simple, but it was the right time to make use of Dark Moon's power to help himself fighting for the heir.

Once he controlled the family's power, even if he wanted to change his mind and turn against the Dark Moon, the little lord far from the Fallen Angel Empire couldn't do anything to him.

Arthur then heads to the Mechanics Association to get a certificate to enter the Mechanic contest.

Tim, Skye, Chen Rui

News of Gorefiend Gang's destruction spreads.

In the Super System while training, Chen sees illusions of the 'inner demon': nightmares of the God Devouring Mask, Glorfin, and committing atrocities. Due to the time dilation of the system, Chen had been training for years in his mind.

Refined Mind was to defeat the inner demon. Originally, this required a large amount of spirit accumulation and training. After one's mind and strength reached a certain level, only then the inner demon would appear. However, for Chen Rui, who devoured the Demon Overlord's consciousness, he had more than enough "strength". Thus, the key was to see how his "mind" could keep up.

Today, he relied on the Fire of Nirvana to pass by fluke. With the increase of mind and strength, the inner demon's strength would also be greatly enhanced. To this extent, unless it was a specific period, the training in the training ground alone wasn't very useful anymore. The true training to refine his mind was in his life.

Only when he experienced life and truly understood the power of "mind", he could truly transform. However, if he got rid of the training ground, the time would become more tense.

Chen Rui left the training ground and came to the Galaxy Divinity Temple. On that tracker, the progress of Star Conversion had reached 20% and the color of the scale had changed, seemingly reaching a small checkpoint. His strength really felt a lot stronger, but his inner demon would become stronger and stronger in the future. So, the challenge in <Refined Mind> had just begun.

Tata, Aguile, Chen Rui

Tata challenges Agulie to a duel. It turns out the idea was from one of Sasa's princess knight books.

The book had landed on Chen Rui's hands. The words on the cover, "The Princess's Knight", rendered him speechless.

This miss goblin was deeply poisoned by this novel, just like the little loli. Fortunately, this was a relatively "healthy" novel. If everyone was like the little loli...

Chen Rui suddenly thought that if the one who sneak-attacked him was this Miss Sasa instead of Alice... Sweat! Big sweat! Chenggis Khan sweat!

Joseph is killed by Kia. Kia was wearing the Moments of Beauty and she had mastered Compound magic of anemo and pyro (wind and fire).

Shea's team won 3:1. Long ago, Royce had removed all the traps laid out.

Joseph lost completely, and Shea controlled Dark Moon completely.

Meanwhile, Obsidian was purging the Fallen Angel capital of Bloodfall.

Moreover, Charles was being used as a test subject at Rainbow Valley for Zola.
Chapter 360

* Overview

Obsidian punishes the Lincoln Family, Deanlie Family, and Ryan Family for attacking Charles. Isabella, Legu, Rommel were at the Fallen Angel Palace hall too.

Rommel tells Chen Rui: "the reason for Lordan ambushing Sir Charles was that she was provoked by Lady Isabella. The young and energetic Lordan was dazzled by the beauty. Due to jealousy, he made a big mistake rashly. Speaking of it, the source of all this is the Lady Devil's Snare."

So it seemed that Isabella would also have to be punished too if the Lincoln family were to be punished. As Isabella was a strong supporter of Obsidian, punishing Lincoln but also losing Isabella was to balance Obsidian's gains and losses.

However, Chen Rui completely turns the case around.

He reveals that Rommel sent Jardel to spy on Isabella and was a political nemesis of Isabella. Moreover, Rommel secretly visited Chen at Prison 13, so Rommel was the real person to blame for the Sartre incident.

For Chen Rui, Isabella was Roman's aunt, and she knew the whereabouts of the Breeze Shadow Boots so he needed her alive.

But Obsidian couldn't punish Rommel too severely as he was an important spokesperson for the elder families and removing him could cause unforseen consequences to ripple chaotically.

Surprisingly, Isabella speaks up and asks to give Rommel a lighter sentence.

With this, Obsidian took advantage of the opportunity to announce that Rommel was relieved of the minister of military affairs and all his duties. The minister of military affairs was temporarily replaced by the second general Doren. He punished Rommel heavily by never appointing him again. As for the candidate for the new minister of military affairs, the elder families would re-appoint the candidate during the next regular meeting.

CR had succeeded in stirring tension among's Obsidian's circles. But he did not go too far as he still needed to complete the next segment of the Business transaction.

Chen also visits the Princess Retail Store, where a fight breaks out between Agulie and Charles Mellon of the Mellon Family as Charles was too tempted by Kia's charm.

The Mellon Family's true affiliation should be Joseph's father instead of Joseph himself, and "Aguile" was essentially working with Joseph, so an "internal fight" like this between Agulie and Charles Mellon was something Chen was glad to see.

**Characters**
Galen, Chen Rui, Christina

The Wyvern King Galen and Chen discuss a way to hold off the Hydra. There are also news that Broc reached Moon Lake and killed 2 wyverns.

The best way to avoid getting attacked on both ends was to have the two enemies take care of each other, then the wyverns could come up with a plan to reap the benefits. However, Broc was very wise. It would be hard to entrap him. Additionally, it was impossible to determine when the hydras would attack. He could not just foolishly attack a powerful, Demon Emperor level enemy. It seemed like he had to consider every detail carefully.

Galen and Chen send wyverns to conduct further aerial surveillance on Broc.

Meanwhile Chen checks in the tent on Christina, who is sleeping.

Those familiar, perfect facial features were still there, but... under the light of the magic lamp, it seemed like her appearance had changed somehow!

If she looked like an eighteen years old flower girl before, then now she was a thirteen or fourteen years old teen.

Is she aging in reverse?

Not only her appearance and age, but her overall powers changed from F grade to "unable to determine", probably because the number was too low that it was ignored.

Chen Rui suddenly remembered that in the action movie "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" that he had read. There was an internal martial art called "I'm the mightiest in the world"!

It was a superior internal martial art that was very formidable. The representative character was Tianshan Tonglao (天山童姥) of the Lingjiu Palace (灵鹫宫). Every thirty years, Tianshan Tonglao would rejuvenate. After rejuvenating, her power would return to its original state. If she wanted to regain her powers, she had to practice it every day, and every day represented a year.

Christina must be practicing something similar to the secret art "I'm the mightiest in the world!" The aura fruit must be some kind of catalyst that had the ability to hasten the spiritual process and increase its effectiveness. No wonder her power decreased with every aura fruit she ate.

Christina was a noble lady of the Dark Shadow Empire Royal Family, and she was very likely to be the next Dark Shadow Empress. Even the current Dark Shadow Empress Lady Catherine was the first beauty in the Demon Realm. She had countless fans. Christina's appearance or age should not become a huge issue; there should be no apprehension like the "Tianshan Tonglao".

Now that Christina had the Shadow Cape in her hands, there was no doubt about the identity of the next empress. Now was the prime time to eliminate her! By eliminating the successor to the Dark Shadow Empire, Broc would be one step closer to achieving his ambitious plan and rebuilding the Leviathan Royal Family would no longer be a pipe dream.

The truth was, the appearance of the Dark Shadow Cape made Broc speculate something that was seemingly impossible. However, this speculation was far too unimaginable, and it was inconsistent with many areas of Christina's current state, so he denied the speculation.

No matter what he speculated, assassinating Christina was imperative.

Chen learns to forge weapons like a prodigy using Deep Analysis.

A letter returns:

Queen Medusa must have ordered Tim to write this letter. In the letter, the queen objected to the earth elemental rebel forces joining the alliance, suspecting that it was probably the earth elementals' trick. Not only that, Queen Medusa unabashedly stated that the taurens did not understand the earth elemental people's language, and that communication was manipulated by Chen Rui. The credibility of the so-called "truth" was very low, and she would not bet the fate of her tribe on this questionable outsider.

Chen says: "The situation is grim. We must be united. If there is civil unrest, then the demonic flies will eliminate us one by one. I should try to meet Queen Medusa again, even if it is dangerous, I must still gain her approval and trust."

"I support you!" An admiring look showed in Delong's eyes. "Frank, generous, and forgiving. This is only a true man. If you have a handsome bull head on your head, you will surely become the most popular tauren among the women in our tribe."

Chen becomes Guradam Mammon's master via the Subordinate contract. The mystery of Yankou Town is also revealed.

## Resurrection potion

"Remember how your life box was damaged?" Chen Rui intended to speed up the process. He took out a bottle of black potion and unplugged the stopper. "Or should I say, do you know what potion is made out of the Fountain of Resurrection?"

The breath of the black potion made Guradam tremble. *Yes, it was this terrifying potion. At that time, my soul essence was severely injured with unimaginable effects! Wait, the previous one was Fountain of Resurrection, then...*

It was a Resurrection Potion.

His remark of reviving the glory of the ancient undead magic is not a lie!

Guradam felt that there was a fiery enthusiasm in his heart. His previous intention to die had already been reduced by half. *If I can inherit the ancient undead magic element and develop it to a greater height, then I will truly become the greatest necromancer of all time.*

## End

*"Thump!"*After listening to the truth, Athena couldn't help containing her anger, and slammed the black stone table. The solid stone table suddenly shattered, and Sheikh felt terrified witnessing this.

"Madam Athena, since he has told the truth, he doesn't have to do the experiment subject of [Corpse Explosion] anymore." Chen Rui walked to Guradam and looked at Sheikh, who thought he was spared from the ordeal. Chen Rui suddenly smirked, "However, Mr. Guradam, don't you think the most suitable experiment for this fat pig is decomposing zombies?"

Guradam nodded and smiled wickedly. A red light flashed in his eyes. Sheikh screamed in horror at the words of decomposing zombies before he fainted to death.

Guradam really thought he had made a good deal, but it was still under Chen Rui's control.

Chen Rui, Moore, Athena

In trying to resist the mask, the Earth Elemental King inadvertently crushed his own heart.

The elemental heart was the Earth Elemental King's core which was equivalent to a human heart. Once the element's heart was broken, even the powerful elemental kings would be completely annihilated within 7 days.

Glorfin then spreads the yellow crystal far and wide, solidifying everyone within range.

"This Soul-Eating Territory is also called the Limit Territory. Unless you can surpass your current realm, otherwise you can't break free."

Glorfin then uses the crystals to kill Doug, Tag, Medusa queen, and Lusha.

Glorfin turns to Chen next. Glorfin reveals to Chen that there are other powerful humans in the Demon Realm. Chen tries to burst out with his Mizar state power, but is unable to.

Suddenly Athena transforms into her demon form and kisses Chen. She mistakenly thinks that the woman Chen had an affair with was Shea Lucifer (because of the Dark Will Lucifer Family ring that Chen had). However, Athena says she loves Chen.

She then breaks through the crystals, blazing red like a flame, relentlessly attacking Glorfin.

Glorfin had difficulty in moving; he couldn't avoid the greatsword flying toward him. He moved his mind and a crystal wall appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of the greatsword. However, the greatsword suddenly shook and actually crossed the crystal wall as if the crystal wall was just air.

"Power that can travel through space? No!"

"Klang!" The Guardian Sword hit the mask on the Earth Elemental King's face.

The "God-Eating Mask" fell off and finally dropped to the ground.

Charles meets Krobelus at Isabella's house. Isabella did not want to see him. But Charles presents a big gem to Krobelus, who then takes him in to see Yini.

Krobelus leaves the two alone. Charles then 'reveals' to Isabella that his true name is actually 'Charles Roland', and his true purpose for coming to the Demon Realm is to attain enough power to win the throne to the Roland Family.

Isabella still seems a bit cold. But Charles says that he will obtain the Snow Dallet for her. Isabella's eyes then brightened up.

In truth, Chen did this to buy time as he knew Isabella and the Secret Organization were still looming at large.

Chen then sets off to meet someone else.

**Characters**
Moore, Glorfin, Chen Rui, Athena

The Earth Elemental King's face was finally revealed. His facial features were relatively delicate. Yet, due to the broken elemental heart, the white light in his eyes had weakened to the point that it was fading away. The entire body slowly fell to the ground as he seemed to have lost all of his strength.

However, the God-Eating Mask that was detached from the Earth Elemental King actually slowly floated up again. The power of the entire Soul-Eating territory was only partially weakened. Everyone still couldn't get rid of the bind on their bodies.

The sword containing the flame of life was only able to remove the God-Eating Mask, but couldn't kill Glorfin!

After the Earth Elemental King self-destructed his elemental heart, Glorfin knew that he had to change his host as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would only have days of life left. The most suitable person at that moment was the human. Therefore, Glorfin made a temporary decision to cast his Limit Territory to stimulate Chen Rui, who was at the edge to break through the limit and reach Demon King-level. Subsequently, Glorfin would possess him and make him a host.

This plan was initially not bad, but unfortunately, his calculations were wrong. Chen Rui failed to force a breakthrough. Instead, Athena took the lead to break through the limits of Higher Demon and reached Demon King-level strength.

As Glorfin is about to possess Athena, Chen concentrates all his energy on saving Athena.

## Nirvana Flame and Alioth

In the Super System Chen Rui sees the Nirvana Flame (Nirvana Black Flame).

Chen Rui's eyes had returned to the normal color. When the last touch of fiery red was withdrawn into his black eyes, all the crystals on his body had shattered, but the black flame was still burning.

It is indeed Demon King of the middle level! According to the human realm's division, it is called the Master level.

"God-Eating Mask" laughed loudly and dashed toward Chen Rui.

Athena broke the limit for him and Chen Rui also surpassed himself for her. The exchange center of Alioth state didn't let him down as resurrection potion and longevity potion had appeared. Each bottle cost 1M auras, and he gave both for Athena to drink.

At the moment that Chen Rui landed, the "God-Eating Mask" had already came to the front of his eyes and erupted a strong mental suppression. Although Chen Rui had broken through to Alioth state and he possessed the Dark Will, such direct mental suppression from a Demon Overlord wasn't something he could resist with his current strength, so he couldn't move at once.

Chen Rui battles Glorfin with the Nirvana Flame.
Carriage

## Silent Night

Christina's magical carriage is a piece of space equipment that can store much more space inside that appears outside, similar to the magic tent.

This huge hall and the rooms inside were actually in a carriage.

This isn't a piece of space equipment but an actual living space! It's the tiny seed that contains a saint's home in the novel! Demon Realm actually such an amazing magic item!

## Moling Town

The speed of the carriage was not fast. The road conditions along the way were winding and steep. It was estimated to take 5 to 6 days to reach Moling Town.

## Fallen Angel Capital

Isabella's carriage was similar to Christina's previously, it was a space prop, but there was only one room inside. The facilities were quite complete and no bumps were felt at all.

Chen Rui, Christina

The noble lady offers Chen Rui a job working for Catherine Asmodeus of the Shadow Empire. Chen weighs his options, considering that he is already working for Dark Moon City and has a Life-sharing pact with Paglio, and politely declines.

They travel through Silent Night Wetland.

The noble lady used a magic tent, which was actually also some kind of magic space tool. On the outside it looked small, but on the inside, it was almost equal to a ten meters square of private space. The ground was lined with thick carpet, and the tent had everything they needed such as floor mattresses and magical lights. The greatest function of the tent was that the view outside the tent could be observed from the inside at any time.

Every two hours or so the two rested in the tent. The noble lady ate an aura fruit, then she sat with her eyes closed to digest it. Chen Rui did not dare act recklessly because of the faint energy from her body.

Chen Rui's feeling from before was right. The noble lady's power was indeed slowly weakening. With every aura fruit she ate, her powers diminished. However, when he used <Analytical Eyes>, it still showed "unable to determine".

In contrast, Chen Rui was obviously very bored. In the few days he spent in Leia Town, he already finished converting all the remaining waste ores in the storage warehouse. As of now, the total aura had reached 1.1 million, but he couldn't use it unfortunately.

They sing some tunes together, and the noblelady plays her Red piccolo.

A night passes. The noble lady suddenly takes Chen to a redwood tree and then disappears.

Chen Rui secretly reckoned that when the noble lady came to Silent Night Wetland, she was planning to get rid of the followers and find a safe place to absorb the power of the "Jiu Tian Xuan aura fruit". She did not expect the tracker to be good enough to follow her all the way here.

About half an hour later, someone appeared in front of him. To Chen Rui's surprise, it was not the noble lady shown in <Analytical Eyes>.

Race: Envy royal family.

Cloak Gang's advantage was that it had refined materials. So Xingxing naturally would stay. Plus, besides Sasa, there was Skye and the Trio-master. Skye was the original vice president for the Bloody Empire Mechanic Alliance, but was then attacked by Nate, so Xingxing would not want to fall into the same trap.

CR then catches up with Aldas, Alian, and Eve. Aldas' sister Lisa started dating Skye.

2. complete the Business transaction with Joseph

Before he leaves, Chen Rui has a threesome with Kia and Athena.

He heads to Fallen Angel capital as Charles. Isabella tells Charles that he has been accused of killing Lordan, Mia, Pierce, and Lestin.

Quote Isabella:

This matter has been investigated. On the day you left the capital for the Red Spirit Estate, Lordan and the people from the Deanlie family and the Ryan family, as well as Mia from the Lucifer royal family went to look for you. As a result, their bodies were found in the woods in a mountain. It was the road to the Red Spirit Estate nearby. Lordan was killed by extremely cruel methods. His corpse was not there. Only by using some secret technique did they discover that the remaining flesh and blood was...

Samuel had already escaped Red Spirit State, perhaps heading for the Human Realm. Isabella tells CR to run before the guards catch him.

Chen Rui, Richard, Delia

Chen Rui wins Chen Rui vs. Barnacle.

After winning, Chen passes out.

When he wakes up, he is tied in golden chains, and his Dark Will is missing. A beautiful woman named Delia Leviathan of the Shadow Empire then enters the room and interrogates him. She introduces herself as the 'Black Widow' that preys on men.

"You're lucky today because I'm in a good mood..." Delia's eyes regained a touch of flattery. "So, now, be honest then perhaps you can really survive. "

Now, he had no choice. Although Chen Rui always had thousands of strategies in mind, he couldn't use them for the time being; he had no choice but to nod his head.

"Your name."

"Richard." The name was nothing more than a variation of his name, Chen Rui as he didn't dare to simply use the name, Aguile. Chen was still using Camouflage to disguise himself as Chen Rui on earth.

"Where did you come from? What were you doing?"

"I came from Leia Town, and I wanted to go to the Capital City. I ran into a fight on the way, so I was being hunted and went into coma. After I woke up, I'm here."

Chen Rui answered carefully. He felt that Delia's voice became gentler and more intimate, as if a vortex filled with temptations. He knew that it was dangerous to enter into the vortex, but he couldn't resist. He was gradually trapped like a moth flying into flame.

At this time, within Delia's lake-blue right eye, a strange light was slowly glowing.

Chen Rui knew something was wrong, but his words had started to be free from his will. He gradually fell into the rhythm of his opponent.

## Devil pomeg

Chen Rui tends the Devil pomegranate tree in the Galaxy Garden.

Immediately, he quickly ordered the Scarlet Guards to leave the Luray Valley immediately, "Brothers, the enemy's reinforcements are coming. Let's first disperse and retreat, then assemble in the north of Town Leia to concentrate on breaking through, there will naturally be reinforcements by then!"

With the fruit tree in hand, the plan was close to success. As for reinforcements on the north side, that was what "Barnacle" said. It had nothing to do with Chen Rui. For all he knew, when the time came, the "higher-ups" may send reinforcements.

As soon as the guards heard his orders, they quickly began to retreat. On the way, they encountered defense forces led by Ross as expected. The two sides engaged in a dogfight. Chen Rui quietly Camouflage as one of the defending team, "hunting" the Scarlet Guards while heading "on the way" toward Town Leia.

## Kander's mansion

At that moment, in the mansion of Leia Town's mayor, the banquet guests had already left the hall, and they were being contained in the courtyard. Old Kander tried to channel his own power, controlling the toxin that was about to trigger in his body. He felt his mind become dizzier. Large droplets of sweat dripped from his forehead. Even the dragon's incense that usually refreshed his mind became ineffective.

Larks grabbed Ross as he walked in. Ross saw Old Kander and said quickly, "Mayor, I am in the midst of leading the defense forces to hunt the Scarlet Guards. Why did you dismiss my duty?"

"Hunting? You are covering for them!" Old Kande gasped heavily as he went up to Ross and gripped the lapels of Ross's shirt, "Tell me! Just what poison did you use? What is the antidote?"

"Mayor, I don't know what you are talking about?" Ross was completely at a loss.

"Even now, you still dare pretend! Ross, I can forgive you about hiding the purple heart; I can forgive you for colluding with Barnacle to secretly take Naliyi, but you must give me the antidote!" Old Kander's snoring even outside the yard People have heard it.

Ross only now realized how big the charges on his head were. He immediately cried injustice, "I have nothing to do with Nali or Zi Yanxin anymore! Colluding with Barnacle is even more unlikely! I must be getting framed!"

Kander slapped a letter onto his face. Ross looked up immediately. His expression was getting uglier. "Mayor, please believe me, I can face Culia directly in court!"

At this very moment, someone else came to report, "Mayor, Master Robert found Barnacle in the stronghold of the Scarlet Guards. When he tried to arrest, he was seriously injured when Barnacle resisted arrest. At the same time, he found Culia's dead body in the stronghold, who was probably killed by Barnacle. Barnacle has now fled."

"Very good," Old Kander looked at Ross with his gaze became more and more gloomy, "Now the dead cannot bear witness. If you don't hand over the antidote immediately, then go face Culia in front of the Demon God!"

## Barnacle

The devil pomeg at the Luray Valley; the birthday of the town's mayor, Kander; the arrival of guests from the capital city; the Scarlet Guards... these things are connected in series, and the time was very tight. How should I plan?

No matter how he planned, aside from Barnacle, there was still someone who had joined the targeting list: Ross who betrayed Nalini!

On that night, the centaur, Yach of the Scarlet Guards came to the Hammer Tavern again. The centaur who earned free drinks for two consecutive days was very happy. However, at the corner seat, he didn't see Robin but a cloaked man with an unclear face.

"Are you Yach? Robin asked me to look for you. Come with me."

Yach thought about it, followed the cloaked man out of the tavern and came to a secluded alley.

The man saw that there wasn't anyone and took off the cloak on his head. When Yach saw, he was shocked. His vigilance turned into horror. He immediately bowed.

"It's Sir Culia!"
