My profession is too unique.

Chapter 75: And there's another oriole after me?
"It's actually a priest." A voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Su Chen came from the sky, tinged with surprise.

Is that the sixth presiding judge?
"Hmm?" Su Chen's heart skipped a beat as he sensed the "devouring artifact" moving in the shadows. "Is the other party trying to escape?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly took a shortcut and quickly followed.

"Such a slow speed means they're not high-level professionals," Su Chen speculated. "That makes sense. High-level professionals are too conspicuous, and the others aren't followers of the Ghost God, so they can't lock onto the target using their senses. Low-level professionals are actually better at escaping."

A deafening roar erupted behind us, and the sky changed color.

"They've already exchanged blows?"

As the street scene passed by, Su Chen glanced back and saw golden flames and black mist intertwining to form an interwoven sky.

Su Chen moved even faster, but he was also wondering, "Where are Zhang Hongbo and the others? Why aren't they there to provide support? There's only this judge here alone?"

“That guy is right ahead…” Su Chen paused, stopping on the rooftop of a building, staring at the dark alleyway below.

The Azure Rope unfolded silently in his hand, and Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly. "Perfect timing to test the enhanced Crimson Lightning."

A surge of spiritual energy erupted, and a crimson light suddenly flashed in mid-air.

Boom!

A crimson bolt of lightning, several meters long and as thick as a thigh, suddenly struck down like an arrow from a god!

The fleeing followers of the evil god were startled and instinctively looked up. Their pupils reflected a crimson hue, and they lost consciousness.

[The Hunt: Completed!]

"It's much thicker and longer... and its power has increased by 30-40%..." Su Chen looked at the charred remains on the ground, still glowing with black flames, and clicked his tongue in amazement. This time, he didn't launch any other attacks, "but the commotion was much greater."

With a surge of telekinesis, the corpses and metal boxes on the ground flew towards him and disappeared into his storage space.

Seeing the distant sky gradually quiet down, Su Chen turned and ran.

……

Elsewhere, Xia Hanshi, with a cold expression, descended from the sky into a room in a building, where only some shattered crystal fragments lay on the floor.

"It's actually a priest. Nanfeng City has actually attracted a priest." His expression became increasingly solemn. "I've been watching for days, but I was led here. He's using a feint to distract me."

"Secretly, something even more important is happening, Nanfeng... Nanfeng..."

But then, his eyelids twitched slightly, and his figure flashed, moving so fast he was invisible. He quickly arrived at a secluded alley, staring at the dark pavement, and muttered to himself:
“Someone made a move here, such explosive destructive power…” He sniffed: “A burnt smell, and the smell of sulfur… The cultist who escaped is dead, and his body was left behind.”

"That object that seemed to be a cursed artifact is gone too?" Xia Hanshi's face darkened, then he suddenly gave a sinister smile: "There's even a hidden bird, following me..."

.........

"What...what's going on!?"

Zhang Hongbo received the report and arrived at the scene with his men half an hour later. Nearby security personnel had already begun to disperse the panicked crowd.

Looking around, he finally spotted Yang Yan and Gu Bing, their faces grim, in the temporary command center in the distance.

"What's going on? How did things get so big..." Zhang Hongbo stormed in, then glanced at Xia Hanshi sitting in the corner, and swallowed the rest of his words.

"Old Xia..." Yang Yan continued, his voice tinged with resentment, "I know we respect you in our actions, but you can't keep everything from us."

"Since you know you respect me, then stop with the nonsense." Xia Han didn't even lift the stone.

Yang Yan paused slightly, then said helplessly, "The situation is completely different now. A priest is secretly watching us. One wrong move and we could be in big trouble." "A priest?" Zhang Hongbo's eyelids twitched. He didn't bother with formalities and exclaimed, "How could that be!"

"What does my Southwind City possess that would warrant the priest's covetousness?"

"I'm curious too," Xia Hanshi said quietly. He knew more, and today's events were probably a diversionary tactic.

A priest has been revealed, but something more important is likely happening in the shadows, and he is eager to know what it is.

The "Demon God" worshipped by the Devil God Cult is not an ethereal being, but a real and powerful being with its own desires.

Black Tuo is not a monstrous god who enjoys destruction. What exactly does he want to do in Nanfeng, or... what is he looking for?
And tonight, there were those who inexplicably appeared to intercept and kill us.

The more they investigated, the more they discovered what Nanfeng was hiding.

No one could provide an answer; everyone had their own thoughts and fell silent.

Zhang Hongbo's expression kept changing, showing both dejection and anxiety.

.........

The curtains fluttered, the windows closed automatically, and Su Chen's figure appeared in the room. He took off his Shadow Cloak, and the scene from just now kept replaying in his mind.

"The power distribution in that area is severely unbalanced."

The enormous black phantom looked terrifying, and one would expect there to be quite a few less skilled professionals assisting it, but there were only a handful of them.

"That judge took action but didn't call for backup. Even if he didn't trust Nanfeng's people, there was still Special Envoy Yingfeng, wasn't there?" Su Chen muttered to himself, "Is he used to working alone?"

"That's really bizarre..."

He turned to look at the panel. In any case, tonight's harvest was good. He obtained another [Low-Tier Ghost God Power], and all three objectives of the [Path of the Hunt] were finally completed.

He thought that the [Wind Hunter] would begin to transform on the road, but the [Hunter's Path] merely shimmered with light, seemingly waiting for his approval.

“That’s more like it…” Su Chen muttered to the air, “Unlike that [Arcane Scholar] who was so impatient, [Wind Hunter] is much more considerate.”

After some back and forth, the panel didn't react at all. Su Chen secretly grimaced and switched to Black Tuo's followers to see if anyone was following him.

What happened tonight was truly bizarre, and he felt a vague unease in his heart.

As soon as the switch was made, Su Chen felt his heart skip a beat and sensed an extremely strong attraction, which caused his expression to change slightly.

"What's going on? There are still more?!"

"Moreover, this attraction is too great, it's incomparable to any strange artifact. What exactly is it?"

His followers were actually believers in disguise, so they were only attracted to him. If they were genuine followers of the Black Buddha, they would probably have already knelt down in fanaticism by now.

This feeling is many times stronger than the attraction brought by the mysterious artifact!
“It seems to have just been brought in… and it’s still in transit,” Su Chen said, his expression shifting between light and dark. Suddenly, he realized something. “Wait, could the previous treacherous artifact have been deliberately placed as bait?”

"Just to ensure this thing can safely enter Nanfeng City."

"Something big is about to happen." Su Chen realized this.

An empty artifact was enough to put Yuan Chenyang on high alert, but what he was feeling now was probably far more dangerous than the artifact itself.

His initially good mood turned sour. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If something happens to Nanfeng City, he will find it difficult to remain unscathed.
