The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Seeing the subtitles pop up on the panel, Lu Yan's tense body finally relaxed, and a hint of undisguised elation flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, of the three conditions for advancing to the Ultimate Warrior level, the first one to be met is the most difficult, the third condition.

It wasn't that Chen Li was too weak, but rather that the other party never expected that he could actually see in the dark.

The combination of a well-intentioned attack and the seamless integration of numerous weapons caught Chen Li completely off guard.

Oh right, Chen Ye also helped a lot.

Lu Yan glanced at Chen Ye, who was still unconscious beside him, and picked up the longsword and mask that Chen Li had dropped.

[Bronze Razor (8-145): Infusing it with lightning element greatly increases its penetration.]

【Bronze Artifact - Dark Chamber (8-099): When equipped, it allows you to see in the dark and perfectly conceal yourself within it.】

Looking at the effect of the mask in the dark room, Lu Yan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

If I hadn't used my "X-ray vision" ability, I might have actually been taken down by Chen Li.

"However, the Darkroom Mask's ability overlaps with that of the Eavesdropper. I'll ask my teacher if I can get a different artifact instead."

There's one binding slot left for the Ultimate Warrior, which I can use to redeem.

After putting away his spoils, Lu Yan walked briskly toward Chen Li's office.

Returning to familiar territory, the eavesdropper felt a sense of familiarity and began to explore his surroundings.

A subtitle flashed before his eyes, and then Lu Yan's mind began to conjure up images of various hidden places in the office.

Following the eavesdropper's directions, Lu Yan quickly found a special safe.

[Silver, Rare Item, No Thieves Under Heaven (7-066): Only those certified by bloodline can open this box.]

"This safe is actually a rare silver artifact?"

This time, Lu Yan was truly shocked. Was this the foundation of a wealthy family?

What was Chen Li thinking? With such wealth, why would he collude with the followers of the evil god?

Lu Yan was speechless for a moment, then silently dragged Chen Ye in, cut his finger and pressed it against the safe.

With a click, the safe opened.

Lu Yan rubbed his hands excitedly and quickly took everything out of the container.

He said that having Chen Ye with him would be useful, and sure enough, he came in handy twice.

Lu Yan didn't bother to count the items; he just threw them all into the Ghost Realm.

After thinking for a moment, he smashed through the wall and pried out the silver safe along with the bricks.

It's a rare silver artifact, after all, and we can't let it go to waste.

After quickly dealing with the spoils, Lu Yan didn't linger and hurried towards the underground plaza.

The zombie horde outside the villa continued unabated, and the three small plants were gradually losing momentum. He had to find a way to deal with the source.

The moment he entered the square, he felt a cold gaze fall upon him, and his whole body seemed to freeze, standing there motionless.

The Shadow Serpent has sensed your presence; it is interested in your soul and body.

He desires your voluntary faith, and He will grant you eternal life!

A black subtitle flashed before his eyes, but before he could react, the panel took action.

[Residual remnants of a demonic god discovered; in the process of being recovered and purified...]

[Recovery successful, obtained Shadow Serpent Power *1]

【Shadow Serpent Power: Grants additional effects when used on Dark attribute sequences (limited to sequences 7 and below)】

Lu Yan: "???"

The change happened too fast; before even the surge of murderous intent could react, it was all over.

Is the Ghost God really that weak?

When he faced the witch's gaze, he almost lost his composure and his emotions.

If the witch hadn't seemed to have no ill intentions towards him, who knows what would have happened.

The difference is ridiculously large.

This can be seen from the limitations on the use of Shadow Serpent power.

"Perhaps the strange gods I know are not on the same level as those I saw at the end of the original path."

Lu Yan seemed to understand something, but he did not really look down on the God of Deception because of it.

No matter how great the difference is between the Demon God and those beings at the primordial end, it is still beyond his current ability to face.

Upon realizing this, he immediately composed himself and carefully examined his surroundings.

There were no zombies left in the square; they had obviously all been sent out by Chen Li.

But Lu Yan only glanced at it a few times before his attention was drawn to a black altar in the center of the square.

He looked closely and was shocked to find a lifelike black serpent carved in the center of the altar.

"Is this the altar of the Shadow Serpent?"

Lu Yan suddenly realized that the consciousness of the shadow snake just now clearly came from this altar, but it had now been cleared by the panel.

However, he could vaguely sense that the Shadow Serpent's consciousness was spreading from elsewhere toward him.

"It seems there's more than one altar in Shelter 056."

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message to his teacher, Yao Xiangyang.

Although he really wanted to farm more Shadow Serpent Power, he felt very uncomfortable with this altar, as if there was something wrong with it.

For safety's sake, let the teachers and other higher-order sequences handle this.

Soon, Yao Xiangyang sent a message: "I'll be there soon. Don't wander around. Be careful."

Seeing this, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the altar beside him, and after thinking for a moment, left the underground plaza.

This is clearly one of the Shadow Serpent cultists' strongholds. If that high-ranking cultist suddenly returns, we'll be completely stumped.

After all, he knew very well that these Shadow Serpent followers could move quickly through the Shadow Realm, and Russell might not be able to catch up with them.

As soon as Lu Yan stepped out of the underground plaza, he noticed that the dense darkness that had enveloped the entire Chen family villa had completely disappeared. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the roof and walls of the villa, reflecting the desolation and mess after the battle, adding a touch of desolation.

His gaze swept quickly across the villa's lobby, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Chen Ye, whom he had thrown on the ground, was gone.

His ears twitched slightly, his eavesdropping instincts kicking in, and he instantly picked up on the faint noise coming from the direction of the hall.

He immediately flashed out of Chen Li's office and ran towards the lobby.

Chen Ye was squatting on the floor of the hall, clutching a blood-stained shard of black fabric in his hand. His head was down, and his shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he were lost in thought.

Those were Chen Li's remaining clothes?

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes, the Dawnbreaker Spear already in his hand.

The murder of my father must be avenged.

Chen Ye seemed to sense something, and bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from his body as he roared, "Wei Xu! Ghost God! I'm not finished with you!"

Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, Lu Yan was taken aback and forcibly withdrew his extended spear from the Ghost Realm.

This kid seems to have misunderstood something again?

At this moment, Chen Ye finally saw Lu Yan and immediately showed gratitude, tightly grasping Lu Yan's hands.

"Brother Yan, thank you so much for saving me this time, allowing me to retain my strength so I can seek revenge on Wei Xu!"

Chen Ye's eyes were filled with hatred, while Lu Yan's expression turned serious after glancing at the sword marks left by the wind slash on the ground.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

The murders and arson were naturally committed by Chief Wei, and had nothing to do with his savior, Master Lu!
