Chapter 128: Chapter 125: I Am Your Direct Superior

Demon Abyss Boundary Land.

The Superstar Alliance transported a large amount of materials and equipment from the real world, constructing many buildings. In this gloomy, gray Demon Abyss, a small town was forcibly erected!

A town of the Awakened.

The Superstar Alliance did not treat this boundary land as a place for combat training, but turned it into a trading post for the Awakened and a distribution center for spiritual items.

This town, a gray area beyond the reach of the law, is a mix of various identities. Many Awakened with secretive identities meet to trade in this town.

A few wanted criminals on the Special Service Bureau’s list even consider this place a permanent refuge. The Superstar Alliance provides shelter, and they in turn work for the Superstar Alliance.

This is an open secret, but the Special Service Bureau lacks evidence and is cautious in its actions. A fruitless raid would have political repercussions, as the director of the Superstar Alliance, Wu Yunzhong, is one of the big figures from the former Jiangnan District Committee.

In the center of the town, a three-story building serves as the branch of the Superstar Alliance in this area.

Rip!

A flash of cold light, followed by a creaking, cracking sound, as half of the three-story building’s roof, along with most of the balcony, was neatly cut off and fell to the ground with a loud crash!

The Demon General’s Hunting Scythe roared as it leapt out. With so many humans here, it became its preferred hunting ground! The inherent desire for carnage in the Demon’s nature was boiling.

Meanwhile, four pillars engraved with fierce beasts rose from the distant chasm.

The four pillars connected, emitting a dazzling white light!

The white light formed a square, three-dimensional prison, trapping a terrifying demon, its whole body appearing flayed, both hands gripping a curved hooked saber.

That demon was naturally Ghost Leather.

Though trapped, it remained unflustered, carefully observing the surrounding white light before suddenly slashing with its saber, unleashing a burst of demonic power, striking a weak point in the circulating light, causing it to vibrate violently.

“Quick, activate the Forbidden Spirit!”

An Awakened from the Superstar Alliance shouted, “We can’t let this Demon General escape the range of the Forbidden Spirit Pillar!”

The beast head carvings on the four pillars shone brightly! From them, the shadows of four exotic beasts emerged, swaying their heads and tails, coalescing into solid forms.

The fierce aura of the four exotic beasts spread, each a Level 3 Leader! Moreover, they were faintly linked by white light, sharing life force and a portion of their attribute values, with their combined strength comparable to Level 4 and 5 Leader Creatures!

Demon General Ghost Leather chuckled, seemingly unconcerned, and emitted a terrifying transparent sonic wave from its mouth!

With a flash of white light, Bai Pu’s figure appeared in the chasm not far from the Forbidden Spirit Pillar.

The Superstar Alliance had long stationed Awakened to watch the chasm, as it was the necessary passage for wanderers from the Heart Demon: Oath Plane to enter the Demon Abyss!

Initially, they had set up the Forbidden Spirit Pillar to catch Bai Pu by surprise.

But the two Demon Generals appeared first, triggering the trap for Bai Pu!

This trap could confine a Level 3 Awakener, but would never restrain the two Demon Generals! A slight lapse, and the Demon General’s Hunting Scythe had already sliced through the light curtain of the Forbidden Spirit Pillar, escaping first.

Demon General Ghost Leather was more cautious, given the notorious Dark Abyss. Coming to this unfamiliar place, it proceeded with caution.

Although it sensed that the humans around were all relatively weak, Ghost Leather still chose to observe for a while, letting the Hunting Scythe explore first.

Upon discovering the Hunting Scythe causing havoc in the human town, with humans constantly vanishing as shadows (escaping the boundary land), and the Scythe growing bolder in battle, Ghost Leather relaxed, starting its assault on the Forbidden Spirit Pillar with intentions of breaking free and unleashing destruction all around!

Bai Pu’s appearance went unnoticed by the Awakened of the Superstar Alliance, but Demon General Ghost Leather spotted him immediately!

After all, being a Demon General, its perception was formidable, and since it lived alongside the Black Emperor’s True Blood, it had long been familiar with the aura of the true blood.

Bai Pu’s appearance had already reverted to his real-world form, and his attire differed from the Wild Warrior garb of the Heart Demon World. Even when Ghost Leather sniffed deeply, it roared angrily!

It clearly recognized Bai Pu as the culprit who stole the treasure, causing its downfall to this state!

If Ghost Leather could communicate with humans, a few words would suffice to clarify that its stance aligned with the Superstar Alliance and that Bai Pu was the enemy.

But demons are demons, occupying an opposite pole to humanity, making communication impossible.

In Ghost Leather’s mind, the enemy wielding the Forbidden Spirit Pillar against it was allied with both Dongbo Cheng and Bai Pu!

Otherwise, how to explain that after Dongbo Cheng and Bai Pu cast it into the Dark Abyss, these enemies appeared underground using secret techniques to trap it?

So, Ghost Leather directly unleashed its violent skill: Demon Blade Chaos Slash!

The two curved hooked sabers emitted a terrifying wail, the frenzied demon blades transforming into dozens, even hundreds, of shadows, enveloping the four Forbidden Spirit exotic beasts completely!

…

“Such a lively scene.”

Bai Pu watched the Demon General Ghost Leather crazily slashing within the light curtain of the Forbidden Spirit Pillar not far away, as well as the Demon General’s Hunting Scythe flying around causing destruction in the distant town, quickly using a small-range spiritual shield to conceal his aura.

He checked his Storage Space.

After entering the boundary land, his real-world items also appeared in the Storage Space, like…

A personal information terminal watch.

Bai Pu quickly put on the personal information terminal, selected a dial, and chose an encrypted channel.

Soon, a virtual light screen projected a middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses with a gaunt face, appearing on the screen.

The sunglasses-wearing man sat behind a large desk, hands clasped under his chin, eyes peering over the top of his sunglasses straight ahead.

Authoritative, profound, unfathomable.

“C-level Special Service Officer, Gangxin, I presume.”

The suited man in sunglasses spoke with a steady voice, “This is your first time using the encrypted channel to contact the Special Service Bureau. Let me introduce myself, I am the Deputy Leader of Special Service Group Six, codename Yuan Hall.”

“Emphasize that I am your direct superior,” the man called Yuan Hall said.

“…Nice to meet you, Leader Yuan Hall, I am Gangxin, I…”

Bai Pu hadn’t even finished his sentence when a loud crash, seemingly from a falling chair, was heard from the other side of the virtual screen, and the scene became chaotic, directed straight at the ceiling.

A charming female voice sounded: “Quick, Tangyuan, let me have a look at the newbie, they say he’s quite the handsome guy!”

Yuan Hall’s voice complained: “Damn it, Yuan Yue, can’t you maintain some decorum!”

The light screen adjusted itself, revealing Yuan Hall standing up to fix the fallen chair.

Bai Pu noticed that Yuan Hall’s upper half was clad in a neat suit, while his lower half wore colorful shorts, revealing hairy legs.

Bai Pu was at a loss for words, but at this moment, a beautiful face squeezed into view, lightly made-up and beaming with an amiable smile.

“Oh, quite a handsome fellow indeed?” the woman smiled, “Hi, Brother Gangxin, I’m ’Yuan Yue’, also a member of Group Six like you…”

Yuan Hall had just picked up the chair and, hearing Yuan Yue’s greeting, couldn’t help but cover his face: “Damn, I forgot to turn off the video camera, my majestic image as the team leader…”

Yuan Yue laughed heartily, her chest shaking: “Oh, give it a rest. Anyway, once Gangxin joins, he’ll soon see your true self; a friendly approach suits you better.”

Bai Pu cleared his throat: “Leader Yuan Hall, I’d like to report an important situation…”

“…Hello, Leader Yuan Hall, I’m Gangxin, I…”

Bai Pu hadn’t finished his sentence when a dazzling face popped into the frame, lightly made-up and beaming with a smile.

“Oh, truly a charming young man?” the smiling woman said, “Hi there, Gangxin, I’m ’Yuan Yue,’ nice to meet you, little handsome guy!”

Yuan Hall just sighed exasperatedly: “Damn, Yuan Yue, can’t you pay attention to your appearance!”

The screen adjusted itself, showing Yuan Hall standing up to fix his fallen chair as he grumbled, and Yuan Yue laughed heartily, her chest bouncing with laughter.

Bai Pu managed to cough and say, “Leader Yuan Hall, I have an important matter to report…”

But before Bai Pu could finish, the smiling woman interjected, “Oh, I heard he’s a handsome young man!”

“Yuan Hall, you might as well be approachable. Anyways, Gangxin will quickly find out who you are once he joins the team,” Yuan Yue said.

Bai Pu coughed again: “Leader Yuan Hall, I have an important situation to report…”

“…very well, I will listen to you. Go ahead, Gangxin.”

Yuan Hall, now composed, said from behind the desk. “Let’s hear it.”

Bai Pu took a deep breath, “I wanted to report an important situation, Leader Yuan Hall…”
