Just as the legion was marching quickly, the black-robed man leading the group suddenly raised one arm and made a stop gesture.

The man in black robe stood firmly in place, looking around, as if he had sensed something unusual.

The mutant beast army immediately stopped and waited quietly for his next order.

After a moment, the man in black robe, Ying Yi, slowly turned around and spoke with a serious expression.

"The city lord has ordered us to complete the task at hand as quickly as possible and wait for the next instruction."

As soon as Ying Yi finished speaking, everyone's faces suddenly froze.

The city lord issued an order, which undoubtedly meant that something big was about to happen.

However, no one felt fear or doubt. On the contrary, they were eager to try and looked excited.

At the same time, an extremely urgent message from System Carl came to Ling Yi's mind.

"Master, something terrible has happened. The fact that you own the system has been discovered by the King of Machinery.

This means that my existence will soon be exposed and all our plans may be ruined by them.

I feel that immediate action must be taken to develop a new emergency plan.

Otherwise, you will be in an irretrievable situation, and you must act with caution to avoid attracting more attention from the King of Machinery."

System Carl's voice was full of anxiety. He quickly explained to Ling Yi the severity of the current situation and hoped that countermeasures could be obtained as soon as possible.

"Oh? How did your identity suddenly reveal itself? What happened?"

Ling Yi didn't show any panic, he just asked with a little curiosity.

“It’s like this, since I left my master, I have been looking for the locations of other systems and even devoured several of them.

However, not long ago, I discovered that the host of a system turned out to be someone you knew.

So, I didn't attack immediately, but followed quietly for a while.

During this time, I captured a lot of useful information.

She actually transmitted all the information about her master to the Mechanical Star.

Perhaps at this moment, the King of Machinery has begun to focus his attention on this plane, which is quite disadvantageous to us!"

Carl's hurried voice perfectly expressed his immense fear at the moment.

After all, the Mechanical Star is a ninth-level civilization, and the Mechanical King is an ultimate overlord, so he can't help but panic.

"Hmm...it turns out to be an acquaintance of mine. That's quite interesting. Tell me, who is this person?"

Ling Yi smiled slightly and spoke leisurely.

His expression was calm, like a pool of still water. He did not look panicked at all. Instead, he looked thoughtful and calm.

"Mu Ranqing!"

Karl was not vague and directly gave the name.

"is her???"

Hearing this name, Ling Yi was a little stunned for a moment.

A complicated look flashed in his eyes and he frowned slightly. This name did surprise him a little.

It can be said that this woman who joined the Blood Moon City halfway was very strong-willed and stubborn.

She overcame all obstacles and led a group of women to survive in the end times alone, without fear of any hardships.

With her extraordinary wisdom and courage, she quickly gained a foothold in this dangerous environment.

It is truly admirable that they were able to even confront the local large forces without losing the upper hand.

Although Ling Yi had flirted with her during that period, Mu Ranqing was self-disciplined and did not throw herself into his arms.

She always maintained her sense of propriety and reserve, and was not easily swayed by Ling Yi's sweet words.

However, she couldn't help but feel troubled by Ling Yi's actions.

Although she was unwilling to confess her feelings, she felt a little moved for him deep down in her heart.

Considering the number of women around Ling Yi, she weighed the pros and cons again and again.

In the end, he chose to remain cautiously silent, unwilling to break this rare peace.

But secretly, he vowed to become stronger.

Surpass all the women around Ling Yi, and then be with Ling Yi openly.

This is also the reason why she left the Blood Moon City alone after Ling Yi went on the expedition.

Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her. On her way to seek power, she accidentally obtained a system from the Mechanical Star.

After getting help from the system, she also understood why Ling Yi was so powerful.

Therefore, Mu Ranqing used the system to improve her strength like a possessed person, hoping to return to Ling Yi as soon as possible.

"She actually sent all my news back to the Mechanical Star?

In other words, Mu Ranqing’s strength should have broken through the limitations of the system!

She...she has been completely controlled by the system and has become a puppet of the King of Machinery.

Her thoughts and actions are completely out of her control..."

Ling Yi had mixed feelings at this moment, even though he and Mu Ranqing were not in a close relationship.

But the interactions during the march did accumulate a lot of memories.

Now hearing that she had become a puppet, Ling Yi couldn't help but feel sad for her experience.

"The master's guess was absolutely correct, she has indeed been completely controlled.

That's why she will pass your information back to the Mechanical Star without reservation.

Unfortunately, it was too late to stop it when I found out. I originally planned to kill her directly and then devour the system in her body.

But when I thought about her relationship with the master, I hesitated..."

Carl told him everything he was thinking, and the main point was that he was doing this all for the sake of his master.

"Alas... fate is so cruel. I didn't expect it to be like this. Does she still have her own consciousness?"

Ling Yi sighed and asked uncertainly.

“The situation may not be optimistic. Although I don’t know the specific reason, I’m afraid she is suffering from great pain at the moment.

Perhaps she still had some consciousness and was hoping to be rescued.

However, the original power that had been eroded by the system could not be stripped away at all.

She could only helplessly accept her fate and become a puppet of the Mechanical King."

Carl shook his head slightly, completely extinguishing the miracle that Ling Yi was expecting.

"Is there nothing you can do?"

Ling Yi asked unwillingly.

Karl showed a helpless expression on his face, sighed deeply, and said heavily.

"Master, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about this."

He knew that Ling Yi must be disappointed and frustrated, but that was the fact.

No matter how much Ling Yi hopes, some things cannot be changed.

"Master, should I bring her back or just..."

Seeing Ling Yi remained silent, Karl couldn't help but ask.

Of course Ling Yi understood what Karl meant. Either bring the person back, but not the one you are familiar with.

Or just kill it and devour it to avoid unnecessary troubles and sorrow.

"Everyone has their own destiny. Since you can't change reality, just let it take its course. Everything is up to you!"

Ling Yi raised his head and sighed, and could only give the decision-making power to Karl.
