Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

"We need to get stronger faster." Lin Yu stared at the location of the gray city on the map, his voice very soft.

"We also need to figure out what Balance knew that led to its complete annihilation."

He had a gut feeling.

The threads connecting the organization, Lao Chen, and Qingyuan will inevitably become entangled sooner or later.

He didn't have to wait long.

On the third day after the journey to Guixu, the divine body was still in a state of maximum concealment.

Lin Yu was working on refining his tribulation at Xuandu Purple Mansion when the Queen Insect's voice suddenly rang out in a very low voice, carrying a rare hint of hesitation.

[The master, the peripheral passive observation network has captured a signal.]

It didn't actively probe; it bumped into the outermost beacon chain on its own.

"grade."

[Legendary mid-tier, severely injured, energy disordered, currently being pursued.] The Queen of Insects paused, [Two pursuers, both legendary tier, less than 40,000 kilometers from the target.]

The target... is moving towards the divine body, its trajectory is very straight, as if... it knows there's something here.

Lin Yu opened his eyes.

To crash into this place while in the most concealed state is either a coincidence or the other party has something that can lead them here.

Regardless of which one it is, he does not intend to let these three signals get close to the divine body. The location of the divine body cannot be exposed because of a stranger.

"Identify the target's energy characteristics."

A wisp of energy waveform, passively captured by the beacon chain, unfolded in his consciousness.

Lin Yu, who had already formed the idea of ​​ordering "expulsion or on-site elimination," suddenly stopped.

Lin Yu was very familiar with the other person's aura.

Lin Yu remained silent for two seconds.

It's Snow White.

His apprentice, whom he took in in the dark fairy tale world and who later joined the Balance Organization.

"Overlord?" The Queen of Insects received no command.

Lin Yu's mind raced through countless thoughts in those two seconds.

Rescue means taking action outside the divine body, which means potentially exposing one's location, and that behind those two legendary high-level figures behind the opponent, there might also be Guixu, and that behemoth that he had just touched.

If we don't save her, Snow White will die.

More importantly, she was a member of the Balance Organization, and the first survivor to actively enter his field of vision after Balance was "cleansed from within".

What's in her head is probably more valuable than him taking a risk to capture ten gray-uniformed men.

Two seconds later, he made his decision.

"Keep releasing the target, but it's not allowed to enter within 500,000 kilometers of the divine body." Lin Yu stood up, his voice turning cold.

"Have the Underworld Emperor, Po Jun, Dracula, and four Thunder Beetle Kings come with me."

Everyone shut down all active energy and crept forward along the beacon chain.

"This battle must not be fought near the divine body. Push the battlefield into that asteroid belt." He stood up, the Demon-Slaying Sword already slung behind his back. "A swift and decisive victory, leaving no survivors, and leaving no trace of energy that can be traced back to the divine body."

【clear!】

……

Three million kilometers away, a fragmented meteorite belt.

Snow White is nearing her limit.

Her black battle armor was mostly torn, revealing crisscrossing wounds underneath. Her golden war bow was covered in cracks, and one of the bowstrings was broken.

Half of her body was covered with a grayish-white pattern, and her breath was extremely weak.

As she fled, she turned back and fired an arrow.

The arrow trailed a dark golden flame, forcing back the figure that was closest to them.

But the two pursuers didn't care at all.

They wore greyish-white robes in the same color scheme as their grey uniforms, but of much higher quality. Their faces were expressionless, and their movements were as synchronized as a single person's two hands.

"Balanced Sequence - Defected Individual." One of them spoke, their voice flat and devoid of any inflection. "You cannot escape the retrieval range. The Enforcers have ordered that core members be destroyed on the spot."

Bai Xue gritted her teeth and conjured another rocket.

Her fire had become so weak it was almost invisible.

Just then, the entire meteorite belt darkened without warning.

It's not that the light has changed; it's that space has been locked down by some force.

Bai Xue felt a sudden heaviness around her, and all her spatial teleportation and other similar techniques became ineffective in an instant. The two gray-white robed pursuers behind her were also trapped in this area at the same time.

"Who goes there?!" The pursuer's expression finally changed, and he turned around.

Their response was three attacks that erupted simultaneously from the shadows of the three meteorites.

The Death Scythe of the Netherworld Emperor, the Source Energy Fist of the Breaking Army, and the Blood Abyss Spear of Dracula blocked all escape routes from three directions.

The four-headed Thunder Beetle King's source energy lightning wove into a large net, covering the entire area completely.

Lin Yu did not appear immediately.

He stood on the back of the farthest meteorite, his Heavenly Eye coldly staring at the battlefield, the Silent Flow Armguard suppressing his aura completely.

He needed to first determine what these two pursuers were and whether they were worth his personal attention.

The two legends, surrounded and attacked by six legendary Zerg, could only hold out for less than ten breaths.

The King of the Underworld pierced one of them through the chest with a single scythe.

The moment the thing was pierced, Lin Yu's Heavenly Eye clearly saw that it had no heart, only a grayish-white core made up of countless tiny fragments of souls. In the center of the core was a gray rune the size of a fingernail.

It was exactly the same gray light that shone from the forehead of the gray uniform.

It's the same kind of thing as the gray uniform, except this one was made by a legendary-level powerhouse.

Seeing that things were going badly, the other pursuer suddenly bulged out, as if he was about to explode.

Lin Yu's eyes turned cold, and with a flash of space, he appeared behind it. He drew his Demon-Slaying Sword, and with a light touch, precisely shattered the gray rune at its core.

The self-destruction was nipped in the bud.

The body collapsed limply, and was caught by the King of the Underworld.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Yu did not allow the energy waves of the battle to escape the meteorite belt even half a step.

After dealing with the pursuers, he turned around and walked towards the figure kneeling on the meteorite, struggling to stay upright.

Snow White looked up.

When she saw who it was, she was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't recognize them.

When she finally saw the face that was so much colder and harder than she remembered, and whose hair was half white, something welled up in her cloudy eyes, and her chapped lips moved.

"...Master, Master?"

Lin Yu did not respond to the "Master".

What he did first was to open his Heavenly Eye to its maximum and scan her three times from top to bottom. Then he had the Queen Insect use her sensory network to compare her soul fluctuations and energy circuits.

The soul is whole; it has neither been taken away nor replaced.

The grayish-white markings on her body were an external seal, not a parasite.

Only after confirming that it was still her did Lin Yu relax a little.

"Don't speak yet." He raised his hand, and his source energy transformed into a gentle yet irresistible force, temporarily suppressing the grayish-white lines that were creeping towards her heart.

"You have something on you. We'll talk about it when we get back. Netherworld Emperor, take her and the two corpses with you. Retreat, and clean up all traces along the way."

"clear."

Bai Xue wanted to say something, but everything went black before her eyes, she completely lost her strength and fainted.
