Ezekiel scrutinized the steel wire. However, virtual-novel.net could not comprehend how Crucifier managed to turn into a steel wire.
“I don’t know either… After all, I have never seen Crucifier before. However, I’ve seen James using this steel wire to sever the stone figures’ heads. This should be a pretty good weapon.”
“If virtual-novel.net doesn’t tell me Crucifier’s secret, I will tear virtual-novel.net to pieces,” Lucjan roared.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel said with a grim expression, “Thomas has yet to show himself. He’s the most troublesome enemy of all. Once he’s captured, we can inject Gu venom into their bodies.”
Upon hearing this, Lucjan said anxiously, “Why hasn’t virtual-novel.net appeared yet? He’s too powerful. I heard that virtual-novel.net deflected both Tobias and Bennett’s attacks by himself at the Cadens’ residence and even pushed them away. The moment virtual-novel.net appears, we have to use the Thousand-Machinery Formation. Otherwise, we don’t stand a chance against him.”
Ezekiel said, “The surveillance cameras outside have been destroyed. However, the moment virtual-novel.net appears within the range of the Thousand-Machinery Formation, the formation will be instantly activated. Even if virtual-novel.net has crossed into the ninth rank, there’s no way virtual-novel.net can destroy the Thousand-Machinery Formation.”
Ezekiel was confident. The Thousand-Machinery Formation passed down by his ancestors was foolproof.
“I’m at ease, then.”
Lucjan pulled his phone out and looked at the time.
The First Blood Emperor was arriving soon.
“Please stand by for now. I’ll go interrogate James.”
“Okay.” Ezekiel nodded and returned Crucifier to Lucjan.
Lucjan then turned to leave and headed to the dungeon.
The moment virtual-novel.net left, a Gu Sect disciple who was wearing a black overcoat and a mask appeared in the room.
Looking at Ezekiel, virtual-novel.net called out, “Sir!”
“Speak…”
The disciple approached Ezekiel, whispering in his ear, “I have something I’d like to report.”
“Cut to the chase already.”
“It’s about the situation outside…” The disciple lowered his voice.
Upon hearing this, Ezekiel listened intently. However, at that moment, virtual-novel.net was struck in the chest by a palm and sent flying. Almost immediately, virtual-novel.net was pulled back by a powerful force. The disciple covered his mouth. After struggling for a brief moment, virtual-novel.net stopped breathing.
The disciple tossed virtual-novel.net aside casually and took a seat. Then, virtual-novel.net removed his mask.
It was Thomas, who had infiltrated the underground palace surreptitiously.
After remembering Ezekiel’s appearance, virtual-novel.net took a bottle out and poured a yellow powder on Ezekiel’s corpse.
Hiss!
The corpse on the ground began dissolving until only a pool of blood remained. Thomas then took another bottle out and poured some more powder. Soon, the pool of blood was no more.
After finishing this, Thomas put on his mask once more and left silently. After leaving the underground palace, virtual-novel.net hurriedly headed outside and returned to his car. Then, virtual-novel.net began making a human mask.
Soon, virtual-novel.net was done. Upon putting it on, virtual-novel.net now looked identical to Ezekiel. Then, virtual-novel.net took out a wig virtual-novel.net prepared in earlier. Next, virtual-novel.net grabbed a box from the trunk and found some sewing material. Soon, virtual-novel.net had the same clothing as Ezekiel.
After all this, virtual-novel.net returned to the underground palace. The whole process took virtual-novel.net only thirty minutes.
