The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 280 Blood Sun (The End)
Shen Zhaoming and Su Ninglong worked together to sweep away the polluted area.

The Cleaner program penetrated deep into the underlying logic of "Blood Sun" in one go, and the Blood Sun on the horizon erupted with a blazing halo.

"The blood sun seems to be melting," someone said in surprise, pointing to the sky.

The blood-red sun in the sky came to its end, all data turning into gibberish, like molten iron peeling off the sky and falling.

Those in the know quickly looked at Shen Zhaoming, who then focused his attention to reply, "It wasn't me. The process hasn't even started erasing the Secret Spirit yet."

Tong Zi: "She might be a former hunter. Do you know what she's doing?"

Shen Zhaoming: "..."

Do you really think I have three heads and six arms and can do everything in the game?

However, Tong Zi's concerns were not unfounded, and Shen Zhaoming spared a bit of his energy to check.

The scavenger program is like his eyes; wherever it spreads, he can see the situation there.

The hunter stood on the highest floor, surrounded by offerings, among which were even living people.

Those living people, like the blood-red sun, are melting away.

They screamed and howled, but the original hunter paid no heed, raising his hands and dancing a strange dance while muttering incantations.

As her body twisted strangely, the substance from the melting blood flowed into her body and seeped into her skin.

The original hunter seemed to sense someone peeping at her and suddenly opened her eyes. In her eye sockets, there was only a cloudy, bloodshot white sphere.

"Get lost!" A powerful energy surge was directed at the peeping tom, and the original hunter quickened his dance steps.

Shen Zhaoming immediately withdrew his prying gaze, and blood flowed from the corner of his eye again.

“She’s using her body to contain the secret spirit.” Shen Zhaoming opened his palm to Lei Qingya. “We can’t let her succeed. Give me the purification crystal.”

"Hiss!" This is too bizarre. Using a human body to contain a mysterious spirit, aren't they afraid of a backlash?

Lei Qingya gave Lao Gu a wink.

Old Gu deftly handed Shen Zhaoming a bag of purification crystals, and Shen Zhaoming immediately absorbed two of them to accelerate the cleanup by the cleaner.

He even sent a message to Su Ninglong underground, which was then displayed on the character interface through the game system.

[At the original hunter's location, she is performing a forbidden sacrifice.]

Su Ninglong stared at the message, unable to reply. The light screen lacked communication capabilities, and one-way communication was the most fatal flaw. And she was about to undergo a tribulation.

If you try to stop the sacrifice, the presence of outsiders will only intensify the power of the lightning tribulation.

The interstellar tribulation that propels her to the Nascent Soul stage will definitely strike her with all its might, so even she has to be extremely cautious.

To go or not to go?

Before I could think any further, the last bit of the spiritual vein disappeared into the mountain path, and the magical artifact emitted joyful deer cries.

After the erosion was completely blocked, the little deer spirit hopped around freely in the magical artifacts along the mountain path.
Su Ninglong put away the magic weapon with satisfaction.

The mountain path can be renamed Deer Cry Ladder. When she has time, she will move the Deer Cry Ladder to the manor.

Now we need to deal with the big problem first. Even if we can't stop it, we must record the inhumane sacrifices.

How can they do something like human containment? Are they fearless or incredibly audacious?
Su Ninglong sighed. There was no way around it; she was destined to be a busybody, and she had to make the trip no matter what. She couldn't let the other party run rampant.

Su Ninglong flashed back to the ground and sped off according to the coordinates given by Shen Zhaoming, rushing there as fast as she could.

With the Deer Cry Ladder as her backing, Su Ninglong doesn't need to conserve her spiritual energy.

Looking down from high above, she discovered a strange scene.

The scenery is clearly divided into two parts: the inside of the circle is colorful, and the outside is red.

The colored circle continued to expand outwards, occupying the blood-red field.

Su Ninglong sensed that there was still some spiritual energy remaining in the air.

However, without further nourishment, the cold aura continued to accumulate, and the remaining spiritual power became even more chilling and piercing.

Her expression darkened slightly, and she channeled her spiritual power with all her might, moving at lightning speed.

Finally, she arrived before the original hunter completed the ritual.

Su Ninglong slightly turned her wrist, and a flash of sword light swept across the altar, instantly turning everything to ashes.

However, the original hunter was still standing there unharmed.

Her long, flowing hair was whipped about by the strong wind on the rooftop. She stretched out her arms in enjoyment and stopped dancing.

The Blood Sun had now completely merged into her body, and the greatest objective of this trip had been achieved.

She looked up at Su Ninglong, a wicked glint in her eyes.

"you are late."

"What's the rush? You're not the only one in a hurry to be reborn. You have to finish your prelude first."

The hunter's smile vanished. In their first real meeting, she scrutinized Su Ninglong, her gaze seemingly trying to penetrate Su Ninglong's body and possess her.

The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. The newly crowned internet beauty was indeed extraordinary; she was perfect from head to toe, with smooth, silky hair, without any frizz or curls.

Her legs were straight and long, and her chest was a little small, but her ethereal beauty made up for the minor flaw.

The former hunter tilted his head, touched his lips, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes: "Now the entire Blood Sun is under my control. How about we play a game? I'll set the rules. As long as you're willing to give me your body, I'll show my 'mercy,' for example, by only killing half the players. How about that? Isn't that fair?"

"Do you think that just because you can contain the Mystic Spirit, you can control the Contaminated Zone?" Su Ninglong said meaningfully.

It will be some time before the Scavenger program spreads completely, so she can talk to this former hunter.

"Hehe, then watch closely." The original hunter snapped his fingers, and a large number of distorted black shadows appeared on the rooftop. The shadows soon turned into blood-red monsters.

"Isn't it amazing? I have the power of a secret spirit. You can too, just become a part of me."

"Monsters like this? No matter how many come, they'll just be free food." Su Ninglong said with a look of disgust. "Using other people's lives to threaten me won't work. They are other people, and I am me. Being upright doesn't mean being a saint. You've probably misunderstood."

Su Ninglong sat down, casually bent one leg on the umbrella leaf, and rested her arm on her knee, her posture elegant and relaxed.

"Speaking of which, when did you change your name? Wasn't your original name Ziyue? Why did you change your surname to Yuan?"

The hunter's smile vanished again. Su Ninglong actually knew him?

“I changed my surname. Zi is just my maternal grandfather’s surname.”

So your dad's surname is Yuan?

The former hunter became even more wary. "What are you asking about?"

"Your surname is Yuan. What's your given name? I mean the one on your ID card." Su Ninglong said to herself, very curious about who was inhabiting Ziyue's body.

"I've been watching you for a long time. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still find out after I left the game."

Original Hunter: "Yuanxi".

“That xi.” Su Ninglong’s smile widened, becoming more and more amusing.

The former hunter clenched her fist, her fingertips digging into her palm; she sensed something was wrong.

"I don't think I need to answer."

"Oh, never mind then." Giving up so easily? The hunter thought she would press for details, and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. Su Ninglong wasn't as smart as rumored.

Su Ninglong: "Then, Ziyue, do you remember our promise?"

Former Hunter: "???"

Did I have an agreement with Su Ninglong?

The hunter then remembered Wu Xingyi's instructions: Su Ninglong and Ziyue had made a deal, but he was not clear about the specific details of the deal.

Wu Xingyi wanted to get Ziyue's share of the inheritance, so she reminded her, hoping that she could get the inheritance back.

However, only she and Su Ninglong knew the details of the transaction, and Wu Xingyi hoped to extract relevant information from them.

Former Hunter: "That's right, shouldn't my grandfather's inheritance be returned to me?"

Su Ninglong: "The things are mine now, what does it have to do with you? Ziyue, I'll help you, you give me the things, that's the agreement."

Original Hunter: "Really? What did you help me with? I've been thinking, and I don't think so. My grandfather's things aren't worth much. You should give them back to me so I can keep them as a memento. I can pay whatever you want. You wouldn't be so cruel as to keep his belongings for yourself and leave me with nothing at all."

"It's just the two of us here, so stop pretending. Where did you get the money? You owe me money!" Su Ninglong's eyes gleamed as she looked at her kidneys, seemingly considering whether to pry one out to pay off the debt.

The hunter's heart sank, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

So, is Suninglong the creditor? How can I ask them to get more detailed information?

How much is she in debt? When has she ever been poor? What a huge miscalculation.

Su Ninglong said slowly, "Actually, I wanted to return your inheritance, but unfortunately, you are now called Yuanxi."

The surrounding bloodstains faded, the scavenger program completed its intrusion, the monster melted away with a wailing sound, leaving not a trace.

The original hunter instantly understood Su Ninglong's intention.

She didn't take the Mystic Spirit seriously at all; everything she did was just to delay until this moment.

She retreated abruptly, attempting to use the power of the Mystic Spirit to construct a teleportation portal.

Nothing happened.

The hunter reached out and tried again, but the game didn't respond at all.

The data has completely changed. Without spiritual veins, Blood Sun is no different from ruins and cannot give birth to powerful monsters at all.

The balance of power has long belonged to the Star League.

The former hunter exclaimed in horror, "What did you do?"

"To prevent future troubles," Su Ninglong said. "By the way, I'll tell you something in the contaminated zone that can restrain the Book Spirit, but I've already contained it. Guess what other function the Blood Sun in your body can have?"

The implication is that, based solely on her physical abilities, she will likely be possessed by the book spirit soon.

Su Ninglong observed the original hunter's expression.

Even though she concealed it well, she still couldn't control the changes in her body; her pupils were constricting.

Su Ninglong took out the Secret Master's Token, "Either you let me seal the Book Spirit inside, or you will be slowly corrupted."

"Heh, I have a Secret Token too, I don't need yours." Behind the original hunter was the edge of a towering building. Su Ninglong took a step forward, and she took a step back.

Original Hunter: "You'll get what's coming to you for plotting against me."

Taking another step back, the original hunter leaped off the tall building.

Su Ninglong rushed forward like the wind, just in time to see the original hunter holding the pyramid instrument, opening a spatial passage to escape.

Tyrant's Navigation Device, it's that thing again. The original hunter actually had one of these.

The same trick, the same trap—Su Ninglong laughed in exasperation at herself.

Wu Xingyi is definitely related to Bai Xuan and others. What exactly do they want to do with the human body containing the secret spirit?
The dark clouds overhead flashed with lightning, eager to unleash a torrent of thunder.

Su Ninglong had no choice but to turn around and face the lightning tribulation first.

This time the lightning tribulation struck even harder, but because there was no interference, Su Ninglong's advancement was very smooth; she was just charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

After changing her clothes, Su Ninglong's game character interface popped up, and an exit button appeared on it.

She smiled; Shen Zhaoming had done a great job.

With a light tap of the finger, I exited the game.

"They're out?" Yun Fei looked at the four people who had appeared out of nowhere. "So fast?"

"We've been in the game for almost a month now, is that considered fast?"

Yun Fei had to deliver some bad news: "The Star Alliance hasn't resolved the contaminated zone yet."

Everyone: "..." They're such useless people. They've already slowed down and are taking it easy. If they weren't afraid of losing more people over time, they wouldn't dare to rush the schedule.

"Then what do we do?" Su Ninglong stroked her chin. "To be honest, we didn't solve the Mystic Spirit problem, we only solved the contaminated area, so we can consider it a loss."

Do they think the judges are fools? Each of the three judges sent someone to supervise them, and their results had already been submitted.

"Resolving the contaminated area would be considered a mission accomplished. The Star Alliance would probably be furious."

"So, the next phase is going to the ruins?"

Yun Fei nodded. "It's time to resolve the issue of the Key of Prophecy. Its abilities are somewhat sinister, and it has split into too many forms. We must control it from the source. The higher-ups have specifically assigned you to oversee it; the Key of Prophecy cannot be left in the hands of the Star Alliance."

Su Ninglong ran her fingers through her hair. "Was this your plan from the beginning?"

"What idea? We don't know." Yun Fei pretended to be ignorant, refusing to admit that it was all a scheme by the Star Alliance.

In fact, from the moment the authorities intervened, the Star Alliance lost its right to hold the Key of Prophecy.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult; with a little manipulation, the authorities can decide who holds the key to prophecy.

Both times, Su Ninglong was the main force. Knowing that she didn't care about the Key of Prophecy at all and could suppress and circumvent the prophecy, the higher-ups naturally thought she was the more suitable holder.

The Star Alliance could only suffer in silence, unable to express their bitterness.

"Could you let me rest for a bit?" Shen Zhaoming said weakly.

He wasn't in good condition; he was almost drained dry while cleaning up the contaminated area.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Shen Zhaoming wasn't originally on the list, but Yun Fei felt the team lacked someone like him.

Shen Zhaoming was quickly taken to the school clinic, where Lena happened to be. She continued to treat him.

The contaminated area has been cleaned up, but there is still work to be done.

That meant writing a report. Su Ninglong was overwhelmed and turned to Xingyuan to handle the matter. She went to rest, ostensibly to stabilize her Nascent Soul realm.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Su Ninglong's divine sense was enhanced once again, faintly touching the barrier of the Mahayana stage, and also allowing her to sense some of the essence of this world.

I saw an ominous aura permeating the air, constantly merging with and separating from the surrounding matter.

Holding the Mystic Token, which continuously emitted an ominous aura, Su Ninglong's expression was cold. She was now completely able to resist the ominous aura it exuded.

After two days of seclusion, Yun Fei sent a message: "The Star Alliance has brought Viper, they want to negotiate."

The venomous snake, its powers sealed, couldn't wait to come knocking.

“What’s there to talk about? Tell him there’s only one condition: Zhou Jiaxi must withdraw from the Star Alliance. Nothing else is up for discussion.”
