Chapter 168, The Alien Race's Decision

Inside a crudely designed palace in the heart of a foreign city.

Four sixth-tier alien races sat in different positions, while the remaining fifth-tier alien races stood below.

"Capture all the Illusionary Butterfly Clan members in the city."

At a single command, numerous fifth-tier alien races immediately set out to act, leaving only the sixth-tier races of four races remaining.

On the left side of the center is a creature with one eye, one leg, one arm, and no hair. It has no mouth, and its sound is transmitted through vibrations from a part of its body.

The Cyclops are one of the four races with a sixth rank.

It made a dull sound.

"I contacted the powerful members of my clan and speculated that the destruction of the Illusionary Butterfly Clan might have come from a curse. Besides the curse, even if a superhuman takes action, they will still leave traces."

"But if one is above the extraordinary level, there is no need for such effort; annihilating the Illusionary Butterfly Clan can be done with just a glance."

"The fact that the Phantom Butterfly Clan did not die together suggests that the curse caster was of limited strength, most likely not stronger than us. Perhaps they have already left, but I speculate that they will not easily give up on other fifth-tier races. They may be hiding in the city now, or on their way to some other race."

To the left of the Cyclops is a beautiful woman with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. Her ears are elongated fish fins, and her hands are outstretched wild beast claws. She has about half of the characteristics of a human and half of a demon.

One of the sixth-order alien races, the Merfolk.

She spoke slowly, her clear and melodious voice ringing out.

"The one-eyed man's guess makes sense. We need to find traces of the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise, if we keep running back and forth like this, we may be defeated one by one."

"I brought a treasure from my clan for finding people, but activating it will come at a great cost. How much are you willing to bear for me?"

The first one on the right is a lion king with a human body and a lion's head, and a king character on his forehead.

Its breathing was very heavy, like a large bellows.

"Mermaid, some of my people died at the hands of that person. We must activate this treasure. The Lion King Clan can bear 30% of the cost, but we must find that person."

The merman smiled charmingly: "Lion King is truly generous. Rest assured, our clan's treasures have never been flawed; it's just a matter of whether the price paid is sufficient."

The Lion King nodded slowly: "That would be best."

The second one from the right is a humanoid creature, but its entire body is composed of purple lightning.

It resembled a human-shaped transparent container, filled with leaping purple lightning.

One of the sixth-tier alien races, the Thunder Clan, are beings born entirely from a sea of ​​thunder, similar to the Ice Spirit Clan and the Fire Spirit Clan.

Lei Wang slowly said, "Mermaid, if your clan's treasure can indeed find the person who made the move, my Lei clan can bear two and a half times the cost. This is the limit, and we will not do more."

"The Thunder Clan was born inside the Thunder Pool, which is naturally formed in the Battlefield of the Heavens. Even we, the Thunder Clan, dare not venture deep into it, let alone outsiders."

The merman didn't seem to care and continued to wear a bright smile.

"Since King Lei says so, then so be it. Two and a half layers of resources is fair."

Lei Wang nodded and remained silent.

He looked at the mermaid with his single eye.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time."

The merman smiled.

"No rush. Let's wait until we capture the Illusionary Butterfly Clan before discussing anything else. Perhaps we can find some different clues from these Illusionary Butterflies and thus find the source of the curse."

The three sixth-level cultivators thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so they stopped urging them.

Soon, all the Illusionary Butterfly Clan members in the city were captured.

The merman took out a light blue bead and made it float above the Illusionary Butterfly Clan, casting a faint glow over it.

The Phantom Butterfly Clan members showed signs of pain, their skin wrinkled, and the moisture in their bodies rapidly disappeared, being extracted into the aquamarine bead.

One-Eyed, Lion King, and Thunder King, three sixth-tier beings, watched coldly until all the Illusion Butterfly Clan members perished.

The merman sensed it carefully for a long time, then shook his head.

"No curse was found, but one thing is certain: the one who made the move was no more knowledgeable than us, otherwise this batch of Illusion Butterfly Clan members would not have escaped by chance."

The Lion King grew impatient.

"Then let's get started quickly. If they get too far away, we'll have to chase after them."

"it is good."

The merman did not delay any longer and took out the treasure.

The treasure was a conch shell.

The merman first took out a storage ring, and upon touching the conch shell, the ring was immediately swallowed.

Next came One-Eyed, Lion King, and Thunder King.

The three of them each took out their storage rings and threw them to the conch.

After the conch had eaten all of its food, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared, but its body remained hidden inside the shell.

The eyes were connected by two tentacle-like fleshy tissues that extended outwards to look into the void. After observing for a while, the two eyes locked onto the same direction.

The mermaid held up the conch shell.

"It's over there, let's go!"

Four sixth-tier beings and twelve fifth-tier beings representing various races set off together in the direction indicated by the conch shell.

……

A three-story building.

Lin Ran maintained the shield and suddenly looked up at the void.

He activated the Truth Eye Technique, his gaze piercing through the roof and through layers of void, revealing a strangely shaped conch shell with two eyes protruding from its interior, staring intently at him.

Lin Ran then realized that she had been discovered by a sixth-order alien race.

His gaze swept across the area again, and he spotted four sixth-tier units.

He couldn't help but frown. If a fight broke out, it would be difficult to win. Even if Zhou Yu and the Spirit Lord joined forces, they wouldn't be able to fight against a sixth-level opponent.

"Zhou Yu, get ready to leave."

"it is good."

Zhou Yu didn't ask any more questions. With a wave of his hand, he put everything into his spatial ring and stood next to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran manipulated the earth's spiritual energy, transforming it into a large golden hand that completely grasped the Spirit Master who was breaking through.

Then the ground suddenly softened, and the three of them were enveloped by a layer of earth spiritual energy, quickly sinking into the ground.

Not long after, they encountered a network of rules underground.

Lin Ran's eyes flickered, revealing a hazy, dreamlike luster, resembling black, yet also any color that exists in the world.

Eye Technique: Space!

Snapped!

Four bright silver spatial blades appeared out of thin air, and the moment they collided with the void, a network of rules formed by interwoven red lines appeared out of nowhere.

The rules-based network attempted to intercept, but it proved utterly ineffective against the sharp blade of space.

A square gap was cut into the network of rules, through which a large ball of golden light passed and then fled into the distance.

……

Inside the city.

Led by the conch shell, the various alien races found the three-story building.

The four sixth-level beings suddenly changed their expressions and looked up at the void at the same time.

The rule network was activated, and the spirit that carried its body was also activated. A mist appeared in the center of the city, and not a sound came out.

Through the mist, the four saw the spirit's true form: a bead whose colors constantly changed.

However, at this moment, there was a square notch on the bead!

The four sixth-tier beings didn't have time to pursue; they all flashed and arrived in front of the spirit creature's body at top speed.

Lei Wang manipulated purple lightning and injected it into the spirit object, projecting a blurry image from the gap.

However, all that could be vaguely seen was a golden light; nothing else could be seen!

The expressions of the various foreign races were grim.

Suddenly, the merman took out a conch shell, and the direction of its two eyes changed, and they slowly rose.

"They broke the network of rules and escaped the city."

Lei Wang's first action: "Chase!"
