"Who goes there!"

Seeing the unfamiliar young man approaching late at night, the guard immediately called out.

The young man smiled, "Just taking a stroll in the middle of the night, no need to be so vigilant. Just forget about it."

Yeah, why work so hard?

The guard's mind instantly relaxed, as if everything in front of him was no longer of concern.

He watched the young man walk past layer after layer of guard defenses, as if it were an unguarded territory.

Once the figure disappeared at the end of his sight, the guard blinked.

Hmm? Did something just happen? So sleepy...

Li Ang had infiltrated the Platinum Hall.

He was not discovered, perfectly meeting the infiltration standards.

His use of Spiritual Driving was becoming more skilled. He no longer needed the Divine Eye Helmet and required only a few seconds for casting.

The Platinum King was not in his personal suite in the front of the hall. Li Ang walked into the rear manor, asking directions along the way, heading towards his sleeping quarters.

...

Antorus Sangrus awoke in a fit of coughing, angrily smashing the items on the table beside him and spit out several thick phlegm into the spittoon by his bedside.

The young girl next to him, naked, approached in trepidation to serve him.

Once his breathing was slightly calmed, he punched the annoying women beside him and lay back down.

Sleeping was already difficult, and once awake, he would be in a daze for the rest of the night.

In previous years, he would spar with these young girls to vent his energy, allowing him to fall asleep.

But this method had recently become completely ineffective, only giving him a headache until dawn.

How long had his body been like this? Ten years? Fifteen years?

Damn Yunxiang Race! Where was the legendary Blood Secret Medicine?! Why was it never seen?

Fortunately, there was finally a turning point. Even without the Yunxiang Race, there was a chance to repair this body.

Antorus thought of the promises made by those people, and the destructive power they had shown him, if only he could grasp it—

His heart burned with fervor, and he beckoned to the young girl beside him, patting his belly.

"Come up."

They were about to move but all suddenly looked in one direction.

It was the direction of the windowsill.

Even though his body resembled worn leather, his combat instincts from past battles made Antorus aware that something was amiss. He managed to swivel his stiff neck with difficulty, making himself dizzy, but he barely made out a figure standing on the windowsill.

"Who are you!"

Antorus shouted to the young girls, "Get help!"

"Don't." The unfamiliar voice made the woman heading towards the bedroom door and reaching for the alarm pause in an instant.

"Keep him quiet."

As the stranger's words fell, the young girls returned to Antorus's side, holding his arms and legs, several hands covering his mouth.

"Mmm! Mmm!"

The women he had trained had 3rd Tier power, and even though he understood the usage of Magic Power, his broken body was too weak to escape from the many arms holding him down.

The stranger paced slowly to the front. It was a delicate young man whom Antorus did not recognize.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm?"

He wanted to say, "What do you want?"

The young man chuckled softly, "I've come to ask a few questions."

...

In the morning, after sending away three young girls into the sandy land, Li Ang went to the cave guarded by Mort.

He sat in front of Fukate and removed the cloth from his mouth.

"Let's begin today's task."

Over an hour later, Li Ang walked out of the cave.

"Finished?" Mort came to ask. "You said yesterday that you would be able to control him today."

"He's already spoken. You can go listen yourself."

Li Ang pointed inside the cave. At this moment, Fukate's eyes were dull, still under the influence of Spiritual Driving, his former suave demeanor completely gone.

After three days, Li Ang finally decoded most of Fukate's Spiritual Structure, successfully allowing Spiritual Driving to take effect.

Mort went in to question and returned half surprised and half angry, "Damn it, they actually dared to do this! Such a thing was unheard of before!"

"I also asked the Platinum King, and the content and details of their words were largely similar."

"But they don't know Farina's exact location either." Mort was somewhat anxious, "It's been so many days, can she hold on?"

"You haven't often worked with the main force of the top four Celestial Groups, have you?" Li Ang said.

"Each one is a monster, they don't need to hire loners like us, the Soul Apex state is rare."

The strange state Mort referred to was the Soul Apex, a non-cooperative battle mode, but still winning narrowly each time.

To ensure victory, someone needed to become the pivot point for the weakness.

In the past, Li Ang was that pivot point, sometimes recruiting suitable people temporarily to act as the pivot, which is how he came to know Mort.

And the previous top four teams, especially the former number one "Banquet of the Gods," relied on each individual having no weaknesses, strong enough to handle most situations even without coordination.

Farina was the main force of the Banquet of the Gods.

"When I first saw you two, I was a little puzzled, given her strength and temperament, why would she need guards?

"It wasn't until you said she was trapped that I understood. Before coming, she must have guessed that the Bailong Sect possessed a Power of Dragon not inferior to hers. She believed you were the variable enough to break the balance between her and the Bailong Sect."

Mort said, "But the other party obviously suppressed her."

"Perhaps the Bailong Sect had something she didn't predict, just like what we found out, what this group and Fukate and the Platinum King are trying to do has only been heard of in legends before."

Li Ang said, "However, in my understanding of her, she wouldn't let you go. She'd keep you here to buy time while she fights desperately.
