Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

With a peach wood sword on his back, a cross and garlic hanging around his neck, an exorcism dagger at his waist, and a Bible and a holy icon in his hand, Yuan Xichen frowned.

Walking in here gives me a feeling of oppression...

"I hate it too..."

Li Moxuan glanced at the human skeletons beside the path, his brows furrowing. These must all be people who died here...

"Isn't there supposed to be a demon?"

Bai Shui'er scanned her surroundings. "Why haven't we seen it after walking for so long?"

"It looks like someone fought here!"

Diao Lingyun noticed the slowly healing cracks on the large tree beside the path. "Someone must have entered here before us, and the signs of battle are very fresh, so they probably didn't go too far..."

"So, someone cleared the way for us?"

Li Moxuan became interested; he was curious about who was walking ahead of them.

As the four ventured deeper into the Demon Forest, the signs of battle became increasingly fresh, with fallen trees and large craters scattered along the paths.

Finally, around a corner, they saw the figure of someone who had gone before them...

A man with a cold expression, a tall and straight figure, wearing armor, a blue cloak hanging on his back, and long golden hair was seen facing the four people sideways.

Before him, many demon-like evil spirits were impaled on the ground by water spears and slowly dissipated.

Is it him?

Others might not recognize him, but Li Moxuan immediately recognized him as the second knight of the Kingdom Organization—Saint Butterfly Freud.

This is someone who can fight Iron Soldier to a standstill!

Freud also noticed them, slowly lowered his raised hand, looked the four of them over, and finally fixed his gaze on Diao Lingyun.

He didn't recognize the other three, but this woman was clearly Diao Lingyun, the Killer Queen of the Greedy Camp, and also the woman Jack had to eliminate in his plan to destroy the Divine Tree...

The remaining three people should also be from the Greedy Camp. As for the leader, Li Moxuan, he is probably the most mysterious member of the Greedy Camp, Greed Wolf.

Perfect, let's get rid of them all at once...

With this thought in mind, Freud raised his right hand high, spiritual energy surged behind him, and a monstrous wave surged up behind him, rushing towards Li Moxuan and the other three.

Chapter 40: No Complaints

"Maogong!"

"Your Highness, please do not worry!"

Li Ji stood in front of the four, gripped his Frostflame Spear and thrust it into the ground. Instantly, a wall of ice and flames surged up in front of him, and the giant wave was slowly frozen as soon as it approached the wall of ice and flames.

"What a madman! He came straight at us without even saying hello!"

Yuan Xichen cursed under his breath, threw the icon and Bible aside, and picked up the peach wood sword from his back.

"Lu Bu!"

Diao Lingyun summoned Lü Bu, who leaped up and cleaved the frozen giant wave in half with his halberd, which was covered with countless dead souls, and then slashed at Freud behind him.

Suddenly, a pair of butterfly wings made of spiritual energy unfurled behind Freud, and he flew into the sky, dodging Lu Bu's attack.

"Get down!"

Xue Rengui suddenly appeared above Freud's head, and his halberd slammed down directly at Freud.

"Sila!"

The figure of the killing angel Sila suddenly appeared behind Freud, closing her wings to protect Freud's head and blocking Xue Rengui's attack.

"It actually hid inside its shell..."

Xue Rengui landed on the ground, and Lü Bu, who was standing nearby, noticed him and said with a slightly displeased tone, "He is my prey!"

"There are too many wolves and not enough meat; whoever gets it gets it!"

Xue Rengui's tone remained unyielding.

"Don't rush..."

Sira spread his wings, and Freud stared silently at the two of them. "You will all perish here!"

Aren't you going to get on?

Bai Shui'er asked Nezha a question, and Nezha replied that he was too lazy to compete with others, it was pointless...

Something's not right!

Yuan Xichen's brows suddenly furrowed as he lowered his head to sense his surroundings. His expression suddenly changed, "Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly collapsed. Li Moxuan leaped up, but a black chain suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped around his leg.

"Your Highness!"

Li Ji was about to step forward to help when he realized his figure was slowly dissipating. His expression immediately changed. "Your Highness, those chains can bind spirits..."

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished into thin air. Li Moxuan understood what he meant, but it was too late. All four of them were bound by chains and pulled toward the collapsing ground.

Just as Li Moxuan was about to use the power of the divine pearl, his movements suddenly stopped. He stopped resisting and let the chains pull him down.

Seeing Lu Bu and Xue Rengui's figures disappear one after another, Freud realized something was wrong, flapped his wings, and flew straight into the sky.

But the black chains that shot out from underground also locked onto him and flew towards him at an extremely fast speed, "Raging Wave Water Blade!"

A massive water blade appeared beside Freud and slashed at the black chains. The water blade vanished upon touching the chains...

Sira stood in front of the black chains, trying to block them all, but the moment the chains touched her, she realized what was happening...

She can't stop this...

Freud ultimately failed to escape; his spiritual power was bound by chains, and he was pulled underground.

When he woke up, he was in an underground palace.

The palace was shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by candles burning on the walls. In the dim light, he noticed that there seemed to be someone else nearby.

Diao Lingyun crossed her arms, sat on the steps with her legs crossed, and stared at him with an unfriendly look.

Yuan Xichen, on the other hand, leaned against the wall and used his clothes to wipe the dust off the peach wood sword in his hand.

"Mo Xuan, the kid's awake!!!"

Noticing that Freud had woken up, Yuan Xichen roared into the dimly lit palace, the echo reverberating throughout the palace.

After a long silence, a reply came: "Bring him here!"

Yuan Xichen picked up an oil lamp from the ground, curled his lip, and said, "You water-playing idiot, let's go!"

"What do you want with me here?"

Freud got up warily, wanting to call out to Sila, but found that he couldn't feel his own spiritual power at all.

"Ha, so they're crying 'stop thief' now!"

Diao Lingyun's tone was unfriendly, "Wasn't it you who played dirty tricks behind my back?"

"No...this has nothing to do with me..."

Freud's eyes were filled with confusion. If it wasn't them, then who had laid this trap?

"Spiritual energy cannot be used here. If you don't want to be trapped here to die, come with us to find an exit!"

Yuan Xichen and Diao Lingyun walked together toward the direction from which Li Moxuan's voice came, and after hesitating for a moment, Freud followed.

Soon, following the corridor, the three arrived at a large hall. Compared to other places, this place was much brighter, and at least there was no need for oil lamps.

In the center of the hall stood a colossal statue of a six-winged archangel holding a holy sword.

Behind the angel statue stood seven stone doors, five of which emitted a strange light, while the other two were extinguished.

"Mo Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Xichen noticed Li Moxuan squatting under the angel statue, with Bai Shui'er standing next to him, bending over and holding an oil lamp.

"Come and take a look at this!"

Li Moxuan stepped aside, allowing others to see the inscription carved on the stone beneath the statue.

"This must have been left by the people who built this place. Xi Chen, you're knowledgeable, can you understand what's written here?"

"This……"

Yuan Xichen looked at it for a moment, feeling a bit of a headache. He could recognize the writing of many races in the underworld, including the Windwalkers, but this one was clearly not written in that language.

"This is the script of the angel race..."

Standing behind Yuan Xichen, Freud suddenly spoke up, and Li Moxuan also remembered, "I almost forgot that your guardian spirit is the killing angel Xila..."

Freud hesitated for a moment, "Judging from your tone, you know me?"

"Of course I know him, the second knight of the Kingdom Organization, known as the 'Holy Butterfly' Freud!"

"Speaking of which, did you have to attack us the moment we met? What grudge do you have against us, the Greedy Battalion?"

Frod was quite surprised by Li Moxuan's good information. Generally speaking, the title of the Kingdom Organization's Ten Knights only circulates internally.

But Li Moxuan was able to recognize him at a glance. Could it be that the other knights had revealed his name?

As for why they attacked each other as soon as they met...

"The organization is preparing to destroy the Four Divine Trees and rebuild the Underworld, and your Greedy Camp is the biggest obstacle standing in front of the Fusang Tree!"

"All the cadres in the Greedy Battalion are on the organization's kill list, especially you, Greedy Wolf!"

“If I manage to leave here alive, I will still follow the organization’s orders and kill you…”

Even though he noticed that Bai Shui'er and Diao Lingyun's eyes were becoming increasingly hostile, seemingly harboring a faint murderous intent, Freud still insisted on his stance.

"Of course, you can kill me right here, and I won't complain..."

After speaking, Freud noticed that Li Moxuan's lips twitched slightly and his eyes were somewhat speechless, while Bai Shui'er's gaze toward him was slightly encouraging.

Freud didn't understand until Li Moxuan sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Xi Chen, put down what you're holding..."

He turned around and discovered that Yuan Xichen had somehow slipped behind him, eagerly holding the statue he had been carrying.

Is he trying to... sneak up on someone... or what?
