This villain is too popular.

Chapter 271 The Protagonist Group Was Sold Out

Looking at the scene, there was a 'mysterious person' hiding in the shadows, with only a pair of eyes staring at Chen Kong and the others.

The viewers immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Hey! Who's that guy hiding in the shadows in the corner of the screen?! Only his eyes are showing, staring at Lao Kong and the others."

'It must be someone from that Starfrost Sect, right? After all, wasn't that why Liuli brought Laotian and the others here?'

'Wait! Wasn't Lao Tian still 'sweetly duo-queuing' with Caroline in Deep Blue City? Can Lao Kong and the others hold out?'

'Shut up, you in front! Our Li Bao is clearly in the team too! Do you think Li Bao is invisible?! Li Bao is so wronged.jpg'

'Hahaha, the Li Bao fans are going crazy! But honestly, with the Heavenly Dao gone, I feel a little uneasy...'

Evening in the City of Scarlet Mist was filled with the atmosphere of anticipation before the fireworks festival began.

The aroma of grilled squid wafted in the wind, and the goldfish scooping stall was surrounded by children clutching their nets, creating a scene of serene tranquility.

As Chen Kong and the others walked, they began to sense that the surrounding environment was becoming somewhat strange.

As they approached the beach where the fireworks festival was held, the number of people on both sides of the street decreased significantly, and even the surrounding environment became 'cold'.

This is obviously strange; logically, the closer to the beach where the fireworks festival is held, the more people there should be.

Just then, Liu Ma suddenly stopped, rubbed his arms, and a cloud of white mist came out of his mouth.

"Do you guys sense that something's not right?"

"I was clearly feeling quite hot when I first left the hotel, but now I feel like I've fallen into an ice cellar?"

Seeing this, Vivian calmly gave a response.

"The ambient temperature dropped by 15 degrees in ten minutes. The actual temperature is now -1℃, and the perceived temperature is -5℃."

"The City of Scarlet Mist has a classic tropical climate. Unless there are special circumstances, it never experiences sub-zero temperatures."

As soon as she finished speaking, Vivian's right hand had already summoned her second-hand rapier.

After observing the surroundings for a moment, Isabel immediately said with a serious expression, "It's subspace."

Because she had been captured by 'Referee Ghosn' using a subspace artifact six years ago, she later made a special effort to learn about this area.

Therefore, upon noticing the suddenly deserted street, she immediately realized that she and her companions had been unknowingly trapped in the subspace.

But doing this without alerting them is no easy task.

This guy who suddenly appeared doesn't seem to have any good intentions.

"Looks like my jinx came true."

Chen Kong gave a wry smile, somewhat regretting his careless remarks when he left the hotel.

Shortly after he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the street entrance in the distance.

The man wore a half-mask of ice crystals on his left cheek, with unmelted frost still clinging to the edges. His exposed right cheek had skin that was shriveled and stuck to his bones, making him look like a lifeless, dried-up corpse.

As the other party advanced, the walls of the shops and buildings on both sides appeared to be frozen.

It was obvious that the sudden drop in temperature, and the person who had imprisoned them in the subspace, was this mysterious figure before them.

Ignoring Chen Kong and the others' vigilance, the mysterious man stopped after walking a certain distance.

He glanced coldly at the crowd, then recited their information in great detail.

"Stars NO.36 Dust and Void, Star Source: Dreamer, Star Core: Void Pattern".

"Starry Night No. 35 Liu Ma, Star Source: Netherworld Warhorse, Star Core: Golden Demon Bull".

"The Silver Knight Vivian of the Primal Gear Church, Star Source Black Iron Clock."

"Isabel, daughter of Tianhai Group, Star Source Absolute Zero".

Anyone else hearing this would be nervous, because it means the other party came prepared.

But Chen Kong and the others are not ordinary people.

"They are from the Frost Sound family."

Combining the data collected from the other party, Vivian's AI brain immediately analyzed the other party's true identity.

The mysterious man didn't care about his identity being exposed.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, all the fancy tricks are meaningless.

"Keep silent, frost and snow."

As the mysterious man whispered, countless thorny thorns sprouted from the ground beneath his feet, growing wildly like tendrils and fiercely coiling towards Chen Kong and the others.
boom!
The moment the ice, snow, and thorns covered Chen Kong and the others, they each displayed their unique abilities and narrowly escaped this fatal blow.

However, although they managed to escape, the place where they were originally located was now completely covered by ice, snow, and thorns.

With just one glance, Chen Kong and the others understood their opponent's strength. This was definitely a Star Envoy of at least level three!

【Name: Shuang Mobing】

[Level: Upper Tier 3]

【Star Source: Silent Ice Thorn】

[Description: A mournful cry? That kind of thing doesn't even qualify as nourishment.]

What surprised the anime/manga audience was...

Even though the main characters and others were in danger, the movie scene switched to Tendo and the others who had finished their meal and were strolling around an amusement park.

"Heavenly Dao, what exactly were you looking at just now?"

At the Jellyfish Amusement Park in the Deep Blue City, Ruri looked at Tendou, who seemed a little absent-minded after riding the roller coaster, and couldn't help but ask him a question.

Caroline, who was standing to the side, did not say anything, but she had already noticed the abnormality of the Heavenly Dao.

Unlike the outspoken Jing Liuli, Caroline knew very well that if the Heavenly Dao wanted to tell her, it would do so even if she didn't ask.

Conversely, if Heaven does not wish to speak, it will not speak no matter how others ask.

If she wasn't mistaken, the Heavenly Dao was currently using the 'Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye' to see something they couldn't.

Upon hearing Jing Liuli's words, Tiandao, regaining his senses, smiled and said, "Liuli, what do you think is the best way to breach a strong fortress?"

Liuli blinked, then immediately puffed out her chest.

"Of course we should break through from the inside! Only a fool would be stupid enough to try and force our way in from the outside!"

"But why are you asking this?"

Tiandao smiled, said nothing more, and turned to look at Caroline.

Caroline seemed to understand something.

If she wasn't mistaken, Tiandao was probably referring to the fact that the Xingshuang Sect was currently trying to win over or control a group of people who wouldn't be suspected by Jing Liuli.

This would allow them to create some trouble for Liuli when Liuli's New Year's Eve concert begins.

Among the people Liuli currently trusts, Chen Kong and others are undoubtedly the best entry point.

This is not an insult or a denigration, but a cold, hard fact.

Because, in terms of both strength and background, Chen Kong and the others are not even comparable to Liu Yao and Mei Ling, who are at the level of natural disasters, and there is a very obvious gap between them and the Heavenly Dao.

Thinking of this, Caroline calmly asked, "So... you deliberately let this happen?"

Mirror Glass doesn't understand, but that doesn't matter. Because the Heavenly Dao can understand.

Tiandao looked at Caroline, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Why is it that hunters only gradually lower their guard when they see their prey slowly walking into their trap?"

Hearing this, Caroline laughed too.

"That's true. People tend to be more confident in their areas of expertise."

"And at this point, they will inevitably reveal their weaknesses."

Looking at Tiandao and Caroline, who were speaking in riddles again, Jing Liuli was completely confused.

She could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she suddenly couldn't understand them.

What fortress? What hunter? What is all this?!

Are you isolating me again? Then I'm not playing with you guys anymore!
With that thought in mind, Jing Liuli snorted, then suddenly stood up, shook off the two of them, and walked towards the nearest shooting stall.

She appeared angry, but in reality, she was deliberately stomping her feet loudly and glancing behind her from time to time, clearly hoping that Tiandao and Caroline would catch up with her and comfort her.

Upon hearing this, Tiandao and Caroline exchanged a glance, then laughed and quickly followed after him.

At this moment, those who understood the words of Heaven were not only Caroline, but also the dimensional audience standing from God's perspective.

'Holy crap! So all of this was part of Lao Tian's plan?!'

'Lock-up: Bro! Next time you sell me, could you at least give me a heads-up? I almost thought I was going to die there!'

'Haha, Liuli is so cute! She clearly wants to be coaxed, but she's pretending to be so fierce!'

'Caroline really knows everything! Their teamwork is amazing!'

'So the Starfrost Sect members are actually 'prey' released by the Heavenly Dao? Hagi Tian, ​​you bastard!'

'Got it, the prisoner was sold out~ (shrugs)'

P.S.: That's all for today's update~
