He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Chapter 172 Could this backfire?

"prestige……"

Looking at the reward, Xie Bai shook his head.

Normally, reputation rewards are extremely valuable.

With enough basic reputation, you can easily attract the attention of some important figures, thereby gaining more ways to acquire reputation.

Reputation rewards here are essentially a form of seed money.

But this was of no use to Xie Bai.

However, she didn't mind the mission rewards.

Xie Bai's gaze fell on the mission description.

"Me...? I'm being watched by the mastermind behind it all?"

Upon seeing this message, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"When did this happen?"

In her perception, and seemingly without noticing any "someone's gaze".

However, it's also possible that the task was just written randomly to create a sense of tension.

"Forget it, I'll just go check out this academy later. I was just wondering what to do here anyway."

Thinking of this, Xie Bai turned around and said to the two little ones behind him.

"Alright, let's continue."

As she spoke, she looked at Kelos and drew a line behind him with her finger.

"Click"

The ropes binding Kelos were untied remotely.

"If you're still worried, you can continue to follow us."

After saying that, Xie Bai smiled gently.

Like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the gloom, Kairos was instantly struck in the heart by Xie Bai's smile.

"cough!"

He instinctively clutched his chest and wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it... I almost failed to defend myself..."

After regaining some of his composure, Keros looked at Xie Bai with some caution.

Although the white-haired girl in front of you may seem harmless on the surface, the power she actually possesses should not be underestimated.

If nothing unexpected happens, eliminating thirty assassins sent by the Shadow faction in one strike is probably not even her full strength.

However, the threat from the Shadow element has not yet been eliminated, and without such a powerful figure, things might...

Just as Kelos was weighing the pros and cons, the two little ones swept past him from behind.

"Sister Little White is here!"

"Where are we going next?"

Faced with the two children's questions, Xie Bai pondered for a moment.

"Hmm... Have you heard of the Dome Academy? Let's go check it out next."

Upon hearing this, Kelos, who was standing to the side, was suddenly startled.

"Her goal is the Dome Academy?!"

Upon hearing his own academy mentioned, all of Kelos's previous thoughts were instantly overturned and reconsidered.

"What would someone like that be doing at the Dome Academy?"

In an instant, all sorts of speculations surfaced in his mind.

"No... no matter what, I have to stay by their side and keep an eye on things. If anything happens, I can take immediate action to prevent it..."

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked in Xie Bai's direction.

Before anyone knew it, Xie Bai had already led the two little ones far away.

Upon seeing this, Kelos rushed forward and shouted.

"Um! Wait a minute! I'm a student from the Dome Academy! If you want to go there, I can show you the way!"

Upon hearing Kairos's words, Xie Bai stopped in his tracks.

"Oh? Really? Thank you!"

As she spoke, she gave Kelos a slight smile.

"!!!"

Kelos suddenly stopped, then tripped over a pebble and fell face-first to the ground.

"cough!"

……

Dome Academy, Dark Cinema Department.

In a secluded room, an old man sat upright in a chair, examining a talisman with both hands.

Sitting opposite him was a man dressed entirely in black.

"How is it, Lord Vesparo?"

The man's voice was exceptionally deep.

"By accepting our power, you can not only protect your seat in the dome from being taken by that witch, but also protect the entire academy from the ravages of war in the Audu Empire."

Faced with the man's promise, Vesparo put down the amulet in his hand and calmly looked at the other man.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the leader of the Chaos Cult."

The man nodded in response to Vesparo's questioning.

"I never expected that even though I concealed all my presence, you would still discover me. I admire you, I admire you."

Vesparo shook his head in response to the cult leader's polite words.

"Fine. No matter how cunning I am, I will not stoop so low as to choose the power of chaos."

As he spoke, he pushed the amulet back to the cult leader.

"However, I'm very interested in the information you just provided. Without you, I wouldn't have known that Miss Ivy was a hidden witch. In that case, it will be much easier for me to take her down."

In response to Vesparo's explanation, the cult leader laughed.

"Now that I've helped you, I'm fine. I understand that you don't want to get close to Chaos. After all, not everyone can maintain their rationality in the face of Chaos."

He paused.

"I hope that next time we meet, I can still be of some help to you."

After saying that, the cult leader's figure disappeared before Vesparo's eyes.

After the other person left, Vesparo got up from his seat.

"Come in."

The door to the room was pushed open, and a woman came to Vesparo.

"Teacher, the assassins we sent out to intercept Kelos... they've all been killed."

Upon hearing this, Vesparo's lowered eyes suddenly lifted.

"Who?"

When Vesparo asked her question, the woman shook her head.

"I don't know. The fortune teller we were investigating was divining the other party's location when he was suddenly attacked by an unknown force and collapsed and died on the spot."

"What?"

Vesparo looked at the woman with some disbelief.

"Just because it was a divination of the other person's location, not their specific identity information, they suffered a backlash and died?"

For Vesparo, this was as absurd as being killed by a fish with a knife while being butchered.

When Vesparo pressed for an answer, the woman nodded.

"Yes, teacher, we were also surprised by this, so we came to ask if you could help us."

"Okay... then."

With that, Vesparo sat back down in his chair, took out a deck of cards, and began to perform a divination.

Out of caution, he did not immediately choose to divine the information about the murderer, but instead chose the information about the dead killers.

By taking advantage of the concealment of the shadows, as long as he can deduce some of the causes of death, he can bypass the backlash of divination and indirectly deduce relevant information about the murderer.

The next second, an image gradually appeared before Vesparo's eyes.

"Very good... make it clearer, let me see how these people died..."

Suddenly, Vesparo's voice stopped abruptly.

Unexpected.

The scene he saw was not of any dead killer.

Instead, it was a vast, dark purple space.

It was so vast that even his entire consciousness couldn't help but be drawn into it.

"Wait... this is!?"

Vesparo quickly regained consciousness.

The next second, blood suddenly gushed from his eyes.

"Ugh!!!"

Vesparo lay on the ground in agony, barely able to lift his head.
