“Do you have any more information about that Saros?” Blood瞳 asked stubbornly, as if he hadn't heard the Guardian's suggestion.

“No.” The Guardian waved its tentacles, looking regretful. “He is very well protected. I estimate the Sersha Clan doesn't want others to know his secrets either. All information about him is related to that battle, and the analysis is speculative.”

“I will find him,” Blood瞳 said, his face twitching slightly. “Definitely.”

“I don't advise you to do that.” The Guardian also became serious. He could feel the determination in Blood瞳's heart, but it wasn't a good thing for him. The Vine Serpent Clan had already tied its fate to Blood瞳. If Blood瞳 encountered problems, the future of the Vine Serpent Clan was predictable.

Blood瞳 was also well aware of the Guardian's thoughts, and lowered his head, his expression unreadable. “Not now. Someday…” His voice deepened, but the light in his eyes grew brighter.

“Someday…”

“I will see… his abyss with my own eyes…”

The atmosphere in the fruit space suddenly became oppressive, as if a terrifying existence was quietly descending. The black mist was dispelled, and the space was compressed. Countless black lines spread in the void, like a black net. The Guardian's eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise and disbelief.

He felt it… but he didn't know what this change meant… what this feeling represented…

Fear took root in the deepest part of his heart, and in an instant, his will was seized by the abyss! At this moment, even with infinite power, he was just a puppet of the abyss. Blood瞳 could kill him without even lifting a finger.

However, Blood瞳 didn't know any of this. It wasn't his power at all, but a projection of the abyss, a leak of the abyss's malice, which meant that his confinement of the abyss's power was weakening. If the abyss could descend at will one day, the end of the universe would arrive.

Time passed bit by bit, and after an unknown amount of time, the Guardian felt a jolt and returned to the familiar fruit space. Blood瞳 was still standing quietly in the black mist in front of him, but his figure looked so hazy and mysterious.

Cold sweat dripped from the Guardian's ugly octopus head, and he realized that he was exhausted and weak. Half of the countless tentacles behind him that connected to the fruit space were also black and withered, turning into dust with a light touch.

He trembled and asked, almost groaning, “What… what was that?”

Blood瞳 didn't answer him immediately, but turned and walked to the platform overlooking the entire city. He silently watched the city below for a long time before saying in a low voice.

“A beast lurking in my heart.”

“Forget it. I don't want to explain too much. Let's talk about Boca. You said you could provide me with convenience, what is it?”

“A channel.” The Guardian wiped away his cold sweat, feeling completely drained. He took a few breaths before continuing, “I have a way to get you into Boca and join Xie's faction.”

“Join?” Blood瞳 frowned slightly.

“You could also say cooperate.” The Guardian said with a wry smile. “I told you before that Xie and the Empress are rivals. This situation has lasted for many years, but recently Xie has become impatient. He feels he can go further, so he is accelerating the collection of armaments and manipulating the power of the conservatives.”

“His ambition is expanding?” Blood瞳 continued, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Yes, this is how the universe is, there are always strong people rising and strong people falling. Blood瞳 never feared strong enemies, as long as that strong enemy had weaknesses to exploit. He previously abandoned Boca because Xie was too invulnerable. His powerful influence, supreme status, and unlimited resources meant that he had no weaknesses for others to exploit. But now it seems that is not the case.

Xie's weakness is his thirst for power.

He hopes to seize power so that he has enough confidence to fight the Sersha Civilization or Saros. But all of this must have a prerequisite: defeating the conservatives represented by the Empress.

This process will definitely be bloody, with no warmth, only killing.

This reminded Blood瞳 of Jiali of the Romick family in the Fifth World. How similar were their encounters to Xie's? The same cruelty, the same coldness. And also the same… need for assistance.

“I am a mercenary. I don't mind who the employer is,” Blood瞳 said slowly in the black mist. “As long as I can sell myself for a good price.”

“Xie always offers a high price,” the Guardian said with a smile. “The only difference is whether you can get it.”

“Does he have a problem with his credibility?”

“No, Xie's credibility is very good. It's just that the level involved this time is too high. Your enemies will also be incredibly powerful. What's more, the Boca Clan's 'Light' is a threat to you, so you can imagine the pressure you will be under. Dead people will of course not receive rewards, and Xie's credibility is only useful to the living.”

“Light?” Blood瞳 recalled the horror he felt when he first saw Xie, and frowned slightly. “Didn't you already give me the antibody?”

“Limited.” The Guardian sighed. “The Boca Clan has roamed the universe for so long, how can their top secrets be easily cracked? The antibody is no problem for dealing with ordinary people, and it can handle slightly stronger ones. But when you encounter a strong person like Xie, there will be a time limit. Beyond the limit, no amount of antibody will be useful.”

“So that's how it is. That's enough.” Blood瞳 nodded. How long can a battle between top warriors last? Their exchanges are calculated in microseconds. If you can't subdue the enemy in a short time, it means you should run. Dawdling and gesticulating for days is child's play.

Thinking of this, Blood瞳 said to the Guardian, “My companions still need to materialize, so I need to stay here for a while. You handle this matter, and we will leave immediately when they are done materializing. I think Xie is also eager for more help.”

“As you wish.” The Guardian bowed slightly, and then said, “Actually, there is another condition you need to fulfill for this matter.”

“Another condition? What is it?”

“A little sincerity.” The Guardian lowered his head, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. “After all, Xie has a deep prejudice against humans. If you want to cooperate with him, it is necessary to show some sincerity. I think the head of a valuable person should satisfy him.”

“Where do I find such a person? The Sersha Clan?”

“No need to be so troublesome. I heard that the Napotul Clan has been very close to the Sersha Clan recently, smuggling a large amount of supplies for the Sersha Clan, including some contraband.” The Guardian blinked, but did not continue.

But that was enough. Blood瞳 waved his hand casually and turned to leave the fruit space…

That's easy, isn't it? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation..)
