The waters surrounding Nathan Island.

"What? Even Li Muxuan was defeated by Zhang Huaidan and went with them. Are you sure what weapon he used?"

"You didn't use a weapon, and you dare to lie..."

"Damn it, that old man is one of the strongest superhumans on the island, how could he be defeated? Zhang Huaidan killed Da G and the others, did he not use any strength at all?"

Upon hearing the intelligence from his inside contact, Ron on the warship jumped up and down in anger, hanging up the phone. Gade, standing beside him, also turned grim.

"Could Hero Sean do something like that?"

As one of the two survivors of SP1, Hero Shaw possesses the strongest Inhuman power within Behemoth!

Ron shook his head: "Impossible, that old man is one of the strongest Inhumans on the island!"

The two were well aware of Sean's prowess, as the organization had tested his abilities more than once. As high-ranking members of the organization, they were intimately familiar with all of Sean's intelligence.

But Li Muxuan, an old monster, was no ordinary person. After careful analysis by the intelligence department...

When it comes to one-on-one combat, Sean might not be a match for Li Muxuan!

That is why Li Muxuan was considered a level zero target in this island landing operation.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaidan managed to take care of them all, especially since Zhang Huaidan had previously killed Da G and the many extraordinary experts he had cultivated over the decades.

Doesn't this prove that Zhang Huaidan is not only stronger than Li Muxuan, but much stronger?
Both of them remained silent in response to this speculation.

Over the years, Behemoth's internal intelligence department has concluded that Sean's level is approaching the pinnacle of the Inhuman class.

While an individual can accumulate strength, it cannot accumulate strength indefinitely, just like a water bottle labeled 500 milliliters can never hold 1,000 milliliters of water.

That is why the power of technology can overcome the power of superhumans!

Otherwise, an entity that can accumulate power indefinitely will one day be able to ignore bullets, missiles, and even atomic bombs.

“Sean is strong, Li Muxuan is even stronger, and Zhang Huaidan is far stronger than Li Muxuan.”

The sea breeze brushed against his cheeks, and Ron's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Gade, have you noticed that Zhang Huaidan from Xia Country is abnormally strong?"

Gade's expression changed slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Ron said in a deep voice, "Those who become powerful through 'cultivation' are not worth studying, but could this Zhang Huaidan be different? If we could..."

As he spoke, he gripped the railing tightly. The sea breeze chilled the railing, but a warmth burned within him.

Gade quickly shook his head: "Li Muxuan was defined as a level zero target precisely because he is powerful. Zhang Huaidan is far more powerful than him. We are afraid that we cannot afford the price we would have to pay to capture him."

Ron was somewhat unwilling: "He is a strong Inhuman, but he may not be able to handle guns and cannons."

Gade remained remarkably calm: "Perhaps he does have some unique value, but Ron, if you think about the price carefully, you'll realize it's not worth it."

Ron felt a chill run down his spine.

First of all, if we really want to capture Zhang Huaidan, his status and position within the Xia Kingdom will be a huge problem.

Secondly, Zhang Huaidan is not Nassen's Guard; he wouldn't be foolish enough to stand guard at the royal court and fight Behemoth's regular troops to the death.

If we let him escape, it's like planting a bomb that could explode at any moment.

This reason also accounts for a large part of Li Muxuan's disregard.

Making a choice that harbors immense danger based on a guess about the specific returns is certainly not a wise decision.

"Okay, you've convinced me. I really want to get the Divine Tree right away. If that happens, the company's SP series of medicines will definitely achieve a historic breakthrough. Then, everyone can become a 'superman' with great power, like Sean Zhang Huaidan!"

Gade felt a surge of excitement as well.

"Yes, the Divine Tree was always meant to be ours, Behemoth's!"

……

"and many more!"

Li Muxuan let out a terrified scream.

Baron and Zhang Chulan were both startled by him. They saw him staring intently at the dark gold headband in Zhang Huaidan's hand, his expression filled with extreme fear.

Zhang Huaidan ignored him and continued moving without pausing.

Li Muxuan exclaimed, "I agree!"

Zhang Chulan was taken aback. What the heck?
Just now he said he would never go back to Xia Kingdom, how come he's so agreeable now?

Does this dark gold headband possess such powerful magic?

"Oh?"

Zhang Huaidan glanced at him.

"I promise! I'll go back to Xia Country with you! I'll go see Lu Jin! I'll explain what happened back then to him in person!"

Li Muxuan spoke so fluently it was as if he had taken a laxative, while still staring intently at the headband.

After a moment of confusion, some deeply buried memories instantly resurfaced.

Decades ago, his granddaughter was born on the island and was chosen as the new queen. The baby's bald head briefly appeared, giving him an unparalleled sense of terror.

Every time I tried to recall it afterward, the memory became blurry, as if it were just a wishful illusion.

But that terrifying aura was so clear, as if one were falling into a bottomless abyss.

Upon seeing the dark gold headband in Zhang Huaidan's hand, after a moment of bewilderment, that memory suddenly became incredibly vivid.

What he saw back then and what he sees now are not the same thing.

What I saw back then was neither a headband nor a dark gold color.

But the feelings they evoked in him were so similar, as if they shared the same origin, and even the headband in Zhang Huaidan's hand felt more substantial.

Li Muxuan was terrified and dared not look into Zhang Huaidan's eyes for a moment.

The magnetic field, which extended to the boundless starry sky it touched, clearly told him that the young man before him was a non-human being.

Because of his stubbornness, the inhuman being had lost all patience and resorted to inhuman methods.

It instantly stirred up his deepest fears, leaving him with no choice but to submit.

Zhang Huaidan removed the dark gold headband, seemingly enlightened. After several attempts, he was now completely locked onto.

I don't have many thoughts on it; it will always be exposed eventually.

Looking at Li Muxuan, whose head was bowed and whose shoulders were trembling, he said calmly, "You recognize this thing?"

"I recognize..."

Li Muxuan's mouth went numb. No one is born a Nathan King; that kind of state shouldn't exist in a young man in his twenties.

As Nathan's maternal grandfather, Li Muxuan knew very well that Nathan had looked the same ever since he could remember.

What exactly turned her into that person? Li Muxuan had a vague answer in his heart.

His head drooped even lower: "I don't recognize the real person."

Zhang Chulan and Balun were completely baffled.

Damn it!

What the hell are you doing?

"Let's go."

Zhang Huaidan took a step, and Li Muxuan quickly followed, his hands clasped together and his head slightly lowered, like a loyal old servant.

Seeing his completely different behavior, Zhang Chulan and Baron wondered if he had been won over by Brother Dan.

There was a feeling that something wasn't so simple. Although completely confused, I still managed to keep up with Zhang Huaidan's pace. No one spoke; only the uneven sound of footsteps broke the silence.

Li Muxuan, who was slightly behind Zhang Huaidan, looked at his back with extremely complicated feelings.

He had already become the true pinnacle of the world, and thought that there was no way forward for him, having reached the limit that any extraordinary person could achieve.

Unexpectedly, he was easily defeated by Zhang Huaidan.

So, at what height does this young man stand?
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. The terror left by that tip of the iceberg hasn't faded yet. What kind of method was that? Was it really as he suspected?

Li Muxuan's mind was in turmoil. Never before had he been so clear-headed. Even if it was just a guess, he would rather return to Xia Kingdom.

Suddenly, a bitter laugh rang out, extinguishing all thoughts of thought.

In short, he absolutely refused to be bound by that golden headband, even if it meant facing those unspeakable past events.

'Lu Jin, it's been decades, and you're still...'

Li Muxuan was startled when his thoughts suddenly stopped.

Having lived on Nathan Island for decades, I wouldn't say I know every single tree and blade of grass by heart, but I'm extremely familiar with this island.

This part of the journey did not seem to be leaving the island, but rather heading towards the Nathan Royal Court.

Li Muxuan whispered, "Master, where are we going?"

Zhang Huaidan did not answer. He did not know the exact location of the Nasen Royal Court; he was simply following his intuition.

Li Muxuan's mind suddenly became active.

Before this, he thought Zhang Huaidan came to the island to take him back to see Lu Jin.

Now, Zhang Huaidan has achieved his goal.

But now it seems that's not the case. Arresting him was just a minor incident. Zhang Huaidan had other purposes for coming to the island.

The direction of the royal court...

Li Muxuan's uncontrollable speculation suddenly became firm in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, as long as you can help Nathan fight against Behemoth, I, Li Muxuan, will not only go back with you to see Lu Jin, but after seeing him, I will do whatever you want with me!"

Li Muxuan was going all out. Although Nasen Wang's granddaughter had never taken him seriously, she was still his bloodline, and his daughter Li Chan was still on the island.

He didn't care about the sacred tree or Nathan, but he couldn't ignore the bloodline he left behind in the world.

Previously at the Nasen Palace, Li Muxuan rejected King Nasen.

They arrived at the market in no time, intending to persuade Big G to help.

Right now, Big G and his forces have vanished without a trace, but an even more ruthless Zhang Huaidan has appeared. If he can help Nathan, then...

Zhang Chulan chuckled, interrupting Li Muxuan's plan: "Senior Li, do you know what you're saying?"

Li Muxuan's expression changed.

He was just a defeated opponent, and a defeated opponent who had surrendered.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Huaidan's expressionless face, Baron's subtle expression, and Zhang Chulan's eyes even showed undisguised contempt.

If he's truly a tough nut to crack, then he deserves some respect. He was so scared by Dan Ge's methods that he almost wet his pants, yet he still dares to negotiate here.

Li Muxuan murmured, "I..."

Just now, in order not to return to Xia Kingdom, he had truly become indifferent to life and death. However, the methods Zhang Huaidan displayed were more terrifying than death itself.

However, even if he said it, probably few people would believe him.

I'd rather think of him as a rat.

'well!'

Li Muxuan sighed inwardly. How could young people like Zhang Chulan and Baron possibly understand the terror involved?

With many thoughts swirling in his mind, he dismissed the idea. He had neither the ability nor the right to negotiate with Zhang Huaidan.

At that moment, a whistling sound filled my ears.

"who!"

"stop!"

"Get them!"

It's no secret that Behemoth's massive army was pressing in.

On Nathan Island, the loyal islanders organized themselves to defend the main roads leading to Nathan Royal Palace.

Zhang Chulan and Baron exchanged a glance, then led Feng Baobao to meet the group of menacing islanders.

On Nathan Island, everyone is an Outcast, but among Outcasts, there are differences in strength and power.

This group of islanders was not weak, but they were no match for the three of them and soon could only hold on with difficulty.

The tall, leader of the islanders shouted, "Li Muxuan, are you going to betray the king too?!"

Li Muxuan remained silent; things had come to this point, and he had come to terms with reality.

He has no right to change or question Zhang Huaidan's decision.

Zhang Chulan laughed loudly: "You talk strangely. Didn't you attack us the moment you met?"

The islander leader was taken aback, and Zhang Chulan's attack was just about to launch a counterattack when a tall figure suddenly appeared and casually reached out to grab him.

Zhang Chulan's pupils contracted as he sensed an extremely strong threat. He activated his golden protective aura, but his technique was still easily broken by this grab.

Two cold beams of light shot out from the hood of the tall figure, startling Zhang Chulan, who hurriedly retreated.

Feng Baobao and Baron also sensed the unusual atmosphere and temporarily stopped.

"Besdia, you are Besdia!"

The islanders were terrified and fled, shouting, "Outsiders, if you don't want to die, get out of here! I'm not lying to you!"

Zhang Chulan was slightly surprised. Was this tall man not a supporter of these islanders?

A gentle breeze blew open Besdia's hood, revealing a ferocious and menacing face. His gaze swept over the expressions of Zhang Chulan and the other two, and Zhang Chulan immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Without even looking at him, he stared straight at Zhang Huaidan.

Without any need for further explanation, the sacrifice the sacred tree needs is this person.

'Knock knock~~'

A pair of large feet stomped on the ground like drums, making one's heart pound with fear.

The tall islanders were deeply shaken. Besdia, the former leader of the park, was one of the most vicious men on Nathan Island.

Everyone living on Nathan Island has heard of his great name.

He was extremely violent and cruel, enjoyed torturing and killing others, and even loved to boil silver corpses.

But it was this very person who became Nathan Guard.

It's important to understand that Nathan Guard is not appointed by the king, but rather requires the approval of the divine tree.

Such people are recognized by the sacred tree, which has even caused a crisis of faith for some people on the island.

The tall islander trembled violently. He had witnessed Besdia committing violence before his eyes, and even after many years, it remained the deepest nightmare in his heart!
Every time I think about it, I toss and turn in bed, plagued by nightmares.

It's unimaginable how a person could do such a beastly thing.

Upon noticing that Besdia was staring intently at Zhang Huaidan, the tall islander's expression changed drastically. Did Besdia want a change of pace? (End of Chapter)
