Chapter 249 Bilingual Dictionary [Third Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"No! No, Master!"

Bai Yue's fingers hovered in front of Adam's neck, his spiritual power ready to shoot out and sever his head at any moment.

But he did not kill Adam.

Bai Yue realized that the blond, blue-eyed man in front of her wanted to live, but the watch seemed to be beyond his control.

interesting……

Baiyue was indeed somewhat interested in the watch's transmission mechanism.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy; after the change of location, it was as natural as if it had always belonged there.

Baiyue immediately used his magic, changing his finger gesture to a grip, and reached out to pull the reincarnation watch off Adam's neck.

With a sharp crack, Adam's neck snapped, his cervical vertebrae fractured, but the Reincarnation Watch remained firmly in place, seemingly unshakeable!
It's neither silver, nor iron, nor steel... What kind of wondrous material is it that even the Moon Worship Cult Leader couldn't budge it an inch?

Could it be the work of immortals or gods?
Bai Yue frowned. He only respected the truth and didn't really care about the gods in the divine realm who were aloof and indifferent to the human world.

However, if the gods and immortals were to interfere with what he was about to do...

Bai Yue casually reattached Adam's spine, stopping the bleeding.

Just like making an example of someone, he picked up the mangled Adam, revealed a gentle smile, and continued to question Zhang Heng.

“Young brother Zhang Heng, I know you have been misled by Adam... It’s not too late to turn back from your misguided ways.”

"Yes! Yes! Adam tricked me!" Zhang Heng nodded earnestly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Upon hearing this, Adam, who was pretending to be unconscious, almost fainted from anger.

Actually, Zhang Heng's words weren't wrong; Adam had indeed completely fooled him...

However, things are taking a really strange turn. Why is the Moon Worship Cult Leader hacking and slashing at the Reincarnators from the opposing team?
Zhang Heng felt completely baffled.

Zhang Heng recognized the English text; the other party must be from the Celestial Team, and the message on it read "[Kill Zhao Ling'er]," indicating that they were indeed helping Baiyue.

Zhang Heng did receive bonus notifications from the team... but since it was just a kill, he couldn't tell which teams he had killed.

He had no idea how many generals were still in this Celestial Team.

"I was tricked by Adam into wearing this watch, and I was even fooled into wanting to present it to you, Master!"

Zhang Heng added fuel to the fire, saying, "He must have even more secrets. Your Excellency is wise and just, so quickly search him thoroughly!"

Zhang Heng's inconsistent statements and his tendency to follow and criticize others are actually extremely wrong.

Bai Yue did not trust him because of this. He gently raised his hand, and the peach that had rolled off the ground floated in front of Zhang Heng. He said gently:

"Since young friend Zhang Heng is so sensible... then I will bestow this spiritual fruit upon you. Please eat it."

"Me, eat it? Can I even eat it?"

Zhang Heng swallowed hard, his appetite seemingly genuine.

"...You eat it." Bai Yue's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she confirmed.

Not only do I not have to get beaten up, but I also get this kind of good thing?
Zhang Heng clearly remembered that the peach Fang Ge gave him was not poisoned, but was a genuine, high-quality peach!
He immediately grabbed the huge peach and began to devour it, the juice overflowing from his lips and teeth, its fragrance enticing.

"belch--"

After finishing his meal, Zhang Heng let out a satisfied burp, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Strange thing...

Now, it was Bai Yue who found it strange. He could accept that the peach was a genuine spiritual fruit... after all, it required gaining his trust.

But he didn't quite understand why such a flawed method had to be chosen.

Writing the task in plain text on the wristwatch would be fine, since it still involves some encryption...

However, this person had no cultivation whatsoever, and made no attempt to conceal the wristwatch. In a single glance, he betrayed and killed Adam, a high-ranking protector who had been lurking for a long time… It was simply a childish mistake…

Why not just have Adam, the protector, offer fruit to gain his trust?

What is the deeper meaning behind such a foolish person who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything? And how was he chosen by the gods?

Bai Yue never expected that these two people, who clearly used the same task-issuing tool, were not on the same side!

However, Zhang Heng's "opinion" was quite effective.

Baiyue's spiritual power swept over Adam... and indeed found a small pocket.

"Is this... the method of containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed?"

Bai Yue retrieved Adam's storage bag, casually erased the spiritual imprint on it, and began to take what was in the bag...

One by one, Adam's possessions were taken out of the storage bag by Baiyue.

Adam truly lives up to his reputation as the richest guy in the Celestials team; the items inside are one after another...

"Hmm? There are even books in the collection."

The book lover, Baiyue, unexpectedly took out a bilingual edition of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 - Game Setting Collection".

Adam breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the setting books for his other Legend of Sword and Fairy series were in John's spatial artifacts.

Otherwise, if Bai Yue knew the future... wait a minute! They only had a chance to win if Bai Yue knew the future! What good would it do to let Bai Yue know the past?

Bai Yue curiously flipped through it and saw that it contained both peculiar simplified Chinese characters and a special kind of tadpole script...

"Could this be a reference book for translating coded messages?"

As quick-witted as Bai Yue was, he soon realized one of the uses of this book.

In this way... he can use the contents of this book to translate what the mission on Adam's wristwatch actually is...

Moreover, there seems to be a lot of interesting knowledge on it... He hasn't learned anything new in a long time.

Thinking this way, Baiyue's mood improved somewhat.

"Master...why don't you let me get rid of him?" Zhang Heng volunteered at this moment, expressing his loyalty.

Killing an enemy earns you a point! If you can get even one point, that's considered a merit, right?
"No... Adam, the protector, has worked hard and made great contributions. How can we discard him after he has served his purpose?"

Bai Yue smiled slightly; he was still waiting to decipher the code and see the contents of Adam's wristwatch.

"Young Brother Zhang Heng, if you wish to contribute to the Moon Worship Cult, why don't you tell me who else... is highly suspicious?"

Are you saying I can't kill?
Zhang Heng felt a sense of helplessness, but in order to gain Bai Yue's trust, he honestly said, "And Li Dazui, Zhao Yue, Qi Kai..."

He named six people in a row, all of whom were his former contacts... Although they were all dead, they were definitely not clean.

Accepting bribes is definitely not a good thing!

"How could such a large sect like the Moon Worship Cult be so corrupt and depraved?" Moon Worship frowned deeply. These names were all mid-level members, some of whom had been members for over ten years!

Investigate! A thorough investigation is necessary!
Bai Yue summoned a group of trusted men to imprison Zhang Heng and Adam, and ordered them to thoroughly investigate the people Zhang Heng had just mentioned.

However, his confidant's answer greatly displeased him.

"What? All of them have been killed?"

"Reporting to the Master, Priest Li Dazui got into a debate with Priest Wang Teng and was burned at the stake as a heretic by Priest Wang Teng! Priest Zhao Yue, on the other hand, had an affair with Priest Qi Kai's concubine and was drowned in a pig cage by Priest Qi..."

"After Priest Qi dealt with Priest Zhao... he was assassinated by Priest Zhao's retainers!"

Is it really such a coincidence?

I absolutely do not believe the moon.

Someone is carrying out a cover-up!
The Moon Worship Cult must undergo a thorough purge from top to bottom!
