The Black Gate Opens

Qin Tian, Vinoya, and Alan safely returned to the Elf Forest.

"We're back."

Breathing in the fresh air of the forest, Alan's heart finally settled down.

Vinoya patted Alan's hand, gesturing for Alan to let her down.

Once her feet touched the ground, Vinoya bowed deeply and said in human language:

"Thank you."

Vinoya was well aware of how incredible this rescue was.

Even the Qingyu Tribe wouldn't send people into the Dark Forest.

However, in her most desperate moment, Sarandir and this Death God Sniper risked their lives to enter the Dark Forest and save her.

This gratitude, she would remember forever.

Qin Tian nodded and said:

"Actually, you should be thanking Alan the most. If he hadn't offered me irresistible terms to beg me to save you, I wouldn't have entered the Dark Forest."

Upon hearing this, Vinoya turned to look at Alan, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.

Before, she always thought Sarandir was an immature coward who would solve problems only by avoiding them—a failed heir. If the Royal Family fell into his hands, the Elf Race would surely be swallowed by the Dark Elves in the future.

However, after this incident, she realized that she might not know her fiancé at all.

When even her parents gave up on her, Sarandir was willing to risk being captured to save her.

Facing hundreds of Dark Elves, Sarandir was fearless and forcefully slaughtered numerous enemies.

He was brave, fearless, calm, powerful, gentle—not at all the Sarandir she had in her mind.

"Sar..."

"Ahahaha, no need to thank me; aren't we friends?"

Alan covered Vinoya's mouth with a laugh, though there seemed to be a hint of guilty awkwardness in the laughter.

Qin Tian glanced at Alan and said flatly:

"Alan, take your friend back first."

Emphasizing the word "friend" slightly.

Alan blinked, "And you?"

"Me?"

Qin Tian turned his head towards the Dark Forest, "I have some things I need to do."

The recent explosion must have caused turmoil in the Dark Forest; now might be his best chance to collect evolution points amidst the chaos.

Moreover, he needed to make some preparations, striving to replicate the previous time when he burned the nest.

"You intend to enter the Dark Forest again."

Alan saw through Qin Tian's thoughts and immediately tried to dissuade him, "Qin Tian, the Dark Forest is too dangerous. I know you have spatial ability, but if you encounter a stronger enemy, you might not even get the chance to use your abilities."

"Also, no matter how many enemies you kill in the Dark Forest, the Elf Race cannot count the battle achievements; wouldn't all your efforts be in vain? Just forget it."

Qin Tian knew Alan was worried about his safety, but to him, the Dark Forest, which others considered forbidden territory, was a slaughter field where he could freely collect evolution points.

Without Alan and Vinoya's burden, he could fully unleash all his means and strive to gather enough evolution points this time for the evolution of the Barbaric Dominator Body.

"Don't worry, you should know my style well—never fight a battle with no chance of winning."

Qin Tian patted Alan on the shoulder: "Besides, maybe this time I can help the Elves permanently eliminate future threats and destroy the Dark Nest in one fell swoop."

What!

Hearing these words, Alan's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of surprise and joy.

After days of getting along, Qin Tian appeared in his eyes as a mysterious, strong, steady, and seemingly omnipotent person.

There were so many abilities on him that they were countless, and at any moment, he could bring others a strong sense of security.

Since Qin Tian said so, he must have had a preliminary plan in mind.

Whoosh~

The Black Gate opened, and Qin Tian stepped inside. As the gate was about to close, a faint voice echoed.

"Kid, don't forget your promise."

The Black Gate closed, and Alan looked towards the direction of the Dark Forest, softly saying:

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"I swear by the honor of the Elf Royal Family."

......

Snap~

Feet firmly landed

Qin Tian stood on the border between the Elf Forest and the Dark Forest

His sense expanded

Scent after scent, heat sources, and sounds were clearly captured by him, painting a biological hotspot map.

"Looks like this time it caused quite a stir~"

Qin Tian's mouth slightly curved; within his senses, batches of Dark Elves or Black Beasts were heading towards the border, maybe to investigate the situation or to intercept him.

However, the more they were, the more satisfied Qin Tian felt.

Buzz~

Light distorted around Qin Tian, rendering his body invisible, and his aura was concealed. He grasped Shadowstrike and dashed into the Dark Forest.

......

"Quick, check over there."

Mollor commanded the Black Beasts, while he remained in place, his eyes scanning around.

The pillars of fire that soared in the Dark Forest earlier led the Battle Group Commander to order all units to mobilize and seal off the area.

As a Tier Three Dark Elf, Mollor held a middle-management position with several Black Beasts and Dark Elves under his command.

But, upon seeing those pillars of fire, Mollor knew this wasn't something he could involve himself in.

So, he dispersed his subordinates, staying put to avoid drawing trouble onto himself.

After they left, Mollor leaned against a tree trunk, starting to ponder.

"This should be the handiwork of a human Spiritualist. What's he doing in the Dark Forest?"

Since Kaelan's entire unit was incinerated and Kaelan himself couldn't possibly relay the events' origins immediately, the Dark Elves were still clueless about what had just happened.

"Well, whatever it is, it's none of my business."

Mollor crossed his arms, muttering, "I only need to survive."

As soon as he said this, Mollor suddenly felt something was off around him; it seemed too quiet.

He stood straight, looking around vigilantly, but before he could notice anything, an excruciating pain hit his head.

His vision went black, and he fainted.

Behind him, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Qin Tian placed one hand on the forehead of the Dark Elf in front of him, activating his ability—Soul Seal.

Vast Spiritual Power poured into the Sea of Souls, and Qin Tian could "see" that the Dark Elf's soul was already corrupted by Evil Power, murky and impure. Fortunately, the Soul Seal was not affected.

An ancient mark was left in the soul, marking Qin Tian's acquisition of another "Guiding Party" member.

Spiritual Power turned into a needle, awakening Molly.

Mollor opened his eyes, seeing a strange human man in front of him. Just about to shout, a strong spiritual pressure descended, instantly freezing his body, causing him to kneel with reverence, saying:

"Master."

Qin Tian looked down at the second member of the Guiding Party; the previous Dark Elf Anila had been sent elsewhere by him. If he wanted to destroy the First Battle Group's base next, he might have to rely on this one.
