Chi Zhu and Ming Yang’s mission was simple: protect the Li family and gather intelligence on the god of the True Knowledge Society.
They never expected it to be a trap!
It wasn't the True Knowledge Society at all; this was clearly a conspiracy by the Shadow Lotus Church!
Even more unexpected was that the local Security Bureau Chief had defected to a cult!
A disgrace.
A monumental disgrace!
If Headquarters ever found out about this, the entire Huang City Security Bureau would be purged from top to bottom!
But the most critical task now was to get the news back.
Otherwise, if anything happened to them, the Li family would be able to continue lurking within the Security Bureau.
However, escaping the barrier Yin Yang had set up was no easy feat.
Indeed!
Aside from the barrier around the Li family ancestral hall, the other two barriers had been set up by Yin Yang.
One was for his own protection, and the other was to prevent anyone from escaping.
Yin Yang needed their flesh and blood as materials to set up his sacrifice array.
This was the first time Yin Yang had arranged such a massive array since becoming a High Priest!
He had been extremely meticulous in his preparations. The only drawback was that he hadn't been able to find a high-quality barrier core.
If a Demigod attacked with full force, his barrier would only last about forty minutes before the core’s energy was depleted.
According to his original plan, forty minutes would have been more than enough. But now, the Thousand-Eyed Evil God had appeared within the Li family.
This would undoubtedly shorten the barrier's duration, as the shockwaves from the battle would also impact the barrier.
Thinking of this, Yin Yang quietly took out his Traveler's Badge, ready to flee at a moment's notice.
If anyone on the scene was the most bewildered, it was definitely the Eldest Master!
He only knew that his family was being targeted. For safety, he had lied to bring in two Demigods to protect them.
Who could have guessed that his own family was actually a cult?
His eyes twitched uncontrollably as a dark suspicion took root in his mind.
Could his son and daughter have been killed by their own family members?
Perhaps there was no god targeting the Li family at all. The killer had been one of their own from the very beginning!
The Eldest Master looked up and saw the Third Young Master holding his own against two Demigods without falling into a disadvantage.
He snapped awake.
Something was wrong!
He knew exactly what kind of useless person the Third Young Master was.
How could he possibly fight two Demigods on equal footing, or even gain the upper hand?
Furthermore, his methods were incredibly bizarre—bloody and grotesque. It was clearly not a righteous path.
‘Is my family really a cult? So, this guy really is one of us?’
He turned to look at Yin Yang, his expression filled with disbelief.
Seeing this, Yin Yang shouted.
“You think I killed your son? Think carefully—where did those flaming arrows just come from?”
These words were the final straw that broke the camel's back, driving the Eldest Master into a total frenzy.
“Aaaah!”
“Why!”
“Why did you keep this from me!”
“Why did you kill my children!”
“Have I not sacrificed enough for this family?!”
The divinity within the Eldest Master began to twist. His original spirituality could no longer hold it back, and it was rapidly being pulled out of shape.
He was losing control!
The destruction a losing-control Demigod could cause was comparable to a missile being launched directly into the city.
Chi Zhu and Ming Yang’s expressions grew even more solemn.
They knew they couldn't leave now.
A losing-control Demigod would become a living catastrophe!
If they fled, Huang City would likely be wiped off the map.
“His strength will increase after he loses control, but his intelligence will plummet or disappear entirely.”
“Use his power to strike the barrier! We’ll focus on attacking him!”
Chi Zhu immediately formulated a plan.
“Understood!”
Ming Yang agreed, his eyes turning a vibrant green.
He was a Sequence 5 of the Farmer pathway.
A Grand Agronomist!
Although he was a Demigod, the ranks from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 in his pathway had almost no combat capability.
But Ming Yang was an exception.
While other Farmers were choosing to plant fruits and vegetables, he chose to plant himself!
When other Farmers broke through to Sequence 8, becoming Farm Masters, and spent their days researching how to increase crop yields, he chose to plant himself!
When others reached Sequence 7 as Farm Overseers and began working with transcendent plants, he finally stopped planting himself and chose to start tilling the earth.
Later, he joined the Security Bureau selection process and single-handedly defeated over a dozen Sequence 7 combatants!
The judges took an immediate interest in him and brought him to the Security Bureau Headquarters for training.
Some of his peers were indignant, feeling it was a disgrace to train alongside a Farmer.
Aside from anything else, the set of fists he practiced every day looked like he was hoeing a field. What kind of lethality could that have?
It wasn't until they experienced it for themselves that they realized it was a style known as Xinyiba.
From that day on, no one dared to look down on this Farmer again.
Once he reached Sequence 6, he was directly recruited into the Baleful Star unit!
So, while Chi Zhu was from the Executioner pathway and possessed terrifying combat power...
In a life-or-death struggle, he might not necessarily be able to defeat this Farmer!
Boom!
Ming Yang slammed his arms down like a hoe striking the earth, smashing the Third Young Master directly into the ground!
“ROAR!!!”
To their surprise, the Eldest Master didn't charge at them. Instead, he lunged toward the Third Young Master in the pit.
“Why!”
“Why did you kill my children!”
“Why did you join a cult?!”
Everything happened so fast that even Yin Yang was caught off guard.
He had wanted them to destroy each other, but now that Chi Zhu and Ming Yang were joined by a mutating Eldest Master, could the Thousand-Eyed Evil God hold out?
The Eldest Master’s flesh writhed as his arms grew even thicker. He threw a massive punch at the Third Young Master in the pit.
Boom!
Several pieces of the grotesque armor on the Third Young Master shattered. Streams of red mist leaked out to repair the cracks.
“Are you insane?!”
The Third Young Master roared, looking as if he wanted to devour the Eldest Master whole.
The flesh on the Eldest Master’s head withered as his eyeballs bulged outward. He spoke one word at a time.
“I... am... going... to... avenge... my... son!”
Boom!
He threw another punch, burying the Third Young Master deeper into the pit.
Inside his own barrier, Yin Yang’s dance grew increasingly wild, though his gaze never left the Third Young Master.
He could feel his lung desperately yearning to return to him.
