Chapter 570 How Could It Be Him?

“Go down from here and you can enter the city.”

Qiao Xixi was very surprised that there was a secret passage in the tree?

When Yunji returned to the ground, Joey and the others arrived one after another.

Yunji looked at them and said, "Letting too many people in at once will definitely attract attention. Two of you come in with us, and the rest of you can wait outside."

Joey nodded. "Then I'll go with you, Xixi. You and the kids wait outside."

Qiao Xixi and Xiao Yao confirmed the time. There are still five hours until midnight. With guidance, Yunji and the others should be able to find the parasite.

"it is good."

Qiao Xixi came to Yunji and handed the black mist she was holding in her palm to Yunji.

"Yunji, your main mission this time is not to find Falcon Owl and the others."

Yunji raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiaoyao.

He had heard what it said to Qiao Xixi, but he hadn't had a chance to ask about the little demon's identity.

"Then what do we need to do?"

“Everything we are going through now is the work of something called the ‘Mastermind.’ But this ‘Mastermind’ has no body; it must parasitize someone or something. This wisp of black mist can guide you to find it.”

Yunji reached out and took the wisp of black mist.

"Then?"

Qiao Xixi frowned, looking somewhat conflicted, and took out a watch she had redeemed from her spatial storage, pointing to the numbers on it.

"When this pointer points here, the 'mastermind' is at its weakest. If we can attack it at this time, its energy will be rapidly depleted."

"But when the longer pointer points here, it will regain its energy, and at that time you must avoid its attack."

Yun Ji stared intently at his watch, his shallow eyes fixed on it. "Were Falcon and the others captured by this 'mastermind'?"

Qiao Xixi nodded. "Yes, I don't know what method it used, but the fact that it was able to easily capture Falcon and the others shows that our conventional forces may not be able to seriously damage it, so we must strike when it is at its weakest."

Yunji nodded slightly, but Qiao Xixi grabbed his hand just as he was about to take the watch.

"How about I go with you?"

Qiao Xixi felt that the other party was probably most interested in her right now, and having her there could distract them.

Yunji grasped her hand, but uttered words of refusal.

"Don't worry, just wait here. We'll be out soon."

Before Qiao Xixi could say anything more, Qiao Yi said, "Xixi, don't worry, if things don't go well, we'll leave immediately."

“You must be careful. If you haven’t returned by 12:30, I will come looking for you.”

The two nodded slightly, and finally Yunji led Yunqiong and Leilie into the tree hole.

As soon as they left, Junxuan came over.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

There will definitely be guards patrolling the back door; they would be easily spotted if they stayed there.

Qiao Xixi nodded and led the children up the mountain behind the mountain.

"Little Demon, do you think Yunji and Father Beast will be alright?"

"Host, although that thing is indeed powerful, you shouldn't underestimate the strength of us orcs. Yunji and the others are top experts in the Beast World. If they find something is wrong, they will definitely be able to protect themselves."

Qiao Xixi was thinking about Yunji and the others and didn't notice anything wrong with Xiao Yao's words.

"Ah."

Zhiyan and the others found a small cave on the mountain, just big enough for Qiao Xixi and the babies. Not long after Qiao Xixi led the babies into the cave, Junxuan came in carrying a large piece of raw meat.

"They hunted it in the mountains, eat it."

Qiao Xixi doesn't eat raw meat. The babies used to eat it, but after being raised by Qiao Xixi for so long, they've become somewhat averse to raw meat. However, Qiao Xixi still gratefully accepted it.

"it is good."

The cave was too small, and it felt a bit crowded when Junxuan came in. After giving the meat to Qiao Xixi and the others, he left.

Once Qiao Xixi was sure he was gone, she put away the raw meat and took out some dried meat to distribute to the children.

This time, the children didn't refuse. They could clearly sense the somber atmosphere. Perhaps a great battle was about to begin, and they needed to eat their fill to prepare for the fight!
Qiao Xixi had the same mindset; she ate the jerky while mentally calculating the time.

Before we knew it, it was almost midnight.

Qiao Xixi glanced at the time; it was already past eleven, almost midnight. She wondered if Yunji and the others had found the parasite yet.

Meanwhile, Yunji and his companions had already arrived at the palace outside the inner city, guided by the black mist.

Without hesitation, the black mist seeped into the thick wooden door through the crack.

Yunji and the others exchanged glances with the guards standing outside the door.

Before the two guards could react, two black wisps of mist suddenly flew in front of them. Before they could even figure out what they were, their necks snapped and they fell silent.

Joey stepped forward and deftly dragged the two bodies to a dark spot where they would not be easily discovered.

The cloud had already spread its wings and flown into the courtyard.

Joey took a quick running start and used the momentum to jump onto the courtyard wall, then landed steadily in the yard.

The black mist drifted and swirled until it reached the entrance of the inner hall.

The inner hall's doors were ajar, and through the crack, they could see a familiar figure sitting in the main seat.

Several people who recognized the person shrank their pupils.

The wisp of black mist drifted into the inner hall, then hovered above the head of the person in the main seat, remaining stationary.

"Kunlin, how could it be him?" Joey was surprised when she saw the person in the main seat.

Qiao Xixi said that Kunlin disappeared when he was in Tiger Beast City, so how did he end up here?

Yunji took out his watch and glanced at the time. "Wait a little longer, we'll go in as soon as it's time."

As soon as they finished speaking, footsteps sounded behind them, and the figures of the group quickly disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as they left, a patrol of beast soldiers came over. The leader of the beast soldiers looked at the palace gate with some doubt.

"Where are the guards outside the palace gates?"

The beastman behind him shook his head. "They've probably been called away on an errand."

The leading beastman walked to the palace gate and peered through the crack to check the situation inside. Seeing that Kunlin was resting with his eyes closed and there was nothing unusual, he led his men away.

Yunji looked at the hands of his watch and counted down one minute.

The pointer slid rapidly, and when they returned to the temple gates, it was exactly midnight.

Joey pushed open the wooden gate in the city and rushed in.

The moment he entered, Kunlin suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes were dark and empty, devoid of any emotion, fixed upon them.

"More chips have been delivered to our door."

Kunlin's lips curled into a smile, and two beams of dark light shot from his eyes, shining directly at Yunji.
