Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The night was as dark as ink, and the world was silent.

The bright full moon was completely obscured by the clouds, only occasionally managing to break through with a sliver of light, flickering between heaven and earth.

In the dead of night.

A piercing sound suddenly tore through the sky.

A thousand meters above the ground, a black figure was moving at an alarming speed.

Wei Lin had just left the Wei family manor and was now heading towards the City of Sound, a thousand miles away.

He had already secretly investigated and found out that his assassination target, Alice, was currently staying in a small hotel on the outskirts of Sound City.

Wei Lin has absolute confidence in its own combat strength.

As a top-tier expert at the peak of SS rank, silently killing a frail young girl was an easy task for him.

Even with absolute certainty, as the head of the Wei family, he wouldn't be completely unprepared.

To avoid revealing his identity, Wei Lin changed out of his usual white clothes and into a loose black robe, and put on a crow mask to cover his face.

Even if the assassination attempt is exposed on the spot, the full disguise will prevent it from being carried out.

No one in the world could find out that the mastermind behind this assassination was the Wei family.

To travel directly from the Wei Family Manor to the City of Sound, one must traverse a giant mountain range inhabited by demonic beasts.

This mountain range has a very special geographical location, situated precisely at the intersection of the three cities: the City of Pianos, the City of Sound, and the City of Violins.

The monster forest that Chu Ge and Aigu had previously entered, which is also the location of the underground palace, came from this mountain range.

As the figure in black robes swept across the night sky, it left behind several blurry afterimages, forcibly tearing apart the air currents and creating a low, rumbling sound.

Based on the current speed, it will only take a few more minutes for Weilin to arrive smoothly on the outskirts of Sound City and reach the airspace above the hotel where Alice is staying.

At that time, he will conceal his presence and sneak into the target room, delivering a fatal blow at the fastest speed to eliminate any future trouble.

Once Chu Ge, the biggest variable, is eliminated, William's victory in the Music God Grand Ceremony Competition is a foregone conclusion.

Riding on the immense prestige of winning this competition, the Wei family's overall strength and status will undoubtedly rise to a new level.

From then on, no force could stop the Wei family from reaching the pinnacle of power in the world of music.

Just as Wei Lin was rushing on his way at full speed, he was planning all the subsequent arrangements.

An even more powerful sound of wind being cut suddenly exploded from behind him.

Wei Lin subconsciously turned his head to look back.

At the edge of the pitch-black night, a dark shadow was rushing toward him at a terrifying speed far exceeding his own.

"This speed is even faster than mine."

Wei Lin's brows furrowed suddenly, and he instantly became extremely vigilant.

A being capable of such flight speed is definitely not an ordinary person.

Judging from its aura, the other party appears to be a demonic beast.

He didn't rush in to test the waters, nor did he choose to accelerate in defiance; instead, he simply shifted his body slightly to the side, intending to let the other party pass first.

Swish!

An extremely short, sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the dark figure behind him rushed to his side.

They are very close.

At the same moment, the human and the beast seemed to resonate with each other, turning their heads and looking at each other.

Only now did Wei Lin see the other party's true colors.

That was indeed a demonic beast.

The giant eagle was covered in black feathers, without a single blemish, and its eyes were blood-red, gleaming with a cold and fierce light in the dim moonlight.

Each flap of its broad wings stirs up an endless, raging hurricane.

The moment their eyes met, a powerful and heavy pressure suddenly swept out from the giant eagle, directly enveloping Wei Lin beside it.

Peak SS rank.

The giant eagle's cultivation level was actually on par with his own.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the other party was profound and refined, indicating a deeper foundation than his own.

Absolutely the pinnacle.

Black Hawk looked down at Wei Lin, who was dressed in a black robe, and glanced indifferently at him.

Sensing the immense magical power hidden within the other party, a clear look of surprise flashed in Black Hawk's large eagle eyes.

It murmured to itself in its heart.

"I never expected that after so many years of silence, a powerhouse of this level would have emerged outside the underground palace."

After a brief exchange of glances, they both looked away in tacit agreement.

Without pausing, the black hawk continued its rapid flight, soaring past Weilin and leaving only a trail of afterimages in the night sky.

Wei Lin stared at the retreating figure of the black eagle, his expression becoming completely solemn.

"Could such a terrifying monster reside in the mountains below?"

He lowered his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the endless, boundless mountain range of demon beasts stretching for thousands of miles below.

This is the only reasonable explanation.

Over the past few decades, he has ventured into this monster mountain range several times to train and hunt down countless powerful high-level monsters.

This was the first time in his life he had encountered a peak SS-level demonic beast.

A bold idea instantly sprouted in his mind.

If we could subdue this black eagle and recruit it as the Wei family's guardian beast, it would be an incredible opportunity for the entire Wei family.

Once Black Hawk joins the Wei family, the Wei family will essentially have two SS-level peak combatants at their disposal, making their family barrier unbreakable and firmly establishing them as the most powerful force in the music world.

By then, even if William ultimately fails to win the Music God Awards, the William family, possessing two top-tier combat forces, will be fully confident in attempting to shake the world order through force.

In fact, the Wei family had been biding their time for many years, and had long harbored the ambition to overthrow the Mermaid Royal Family and seize control of the world.

However, in this world of music, there exists an unshakeable supreme power, the Fish King, who forcefully suppressed all rebellious thoughts in the world.

Thirty years ago, the Fish King had already firmly established himself at the pinnacle of the SS-level realm.

At that time, Wei Lin was merely an insignificant A-level superhuman, not worth mentioning at all.

Thirty years have passed, and no one knows how terrifying the Fish King's strength has risen to.

This is also the fundamental reason why, even after the Fish King has remained secluded for over a decade, no one in the entire world has dared to rebel.

Even with the formidable Fish King suppressing them, the Wei family has never stopped lying low and accumulating strength over the years.

They secretly cultivated a large number of high-level superhumans and accumulated countless resources, all in preparation for the perfect opportunity to overthrow the royal rule in one fell swoop.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and in that instant, he made up his mind.

He pushed his speed to the limit and sped after Black Hawk, closely following its trajectory.

For him, the mission to assassinate Alice could be completed at any time. As long as the target was killed before dawn, it would not affect the overall plan.

But this top-tier demonic beast before us is a rare find; if we miss it, we may never have the chance to encounter it again in this lifetime.

He must seize this opportunity to recruit Black Hawk into his team.

Unfortunately, the Black Hawk's speed was simply too outrageous.

In the brief moment that Wei Lin pondered, the other person's figure vanished completely into the vast night, leaving no trace.

Weilin hovered high in the sky, his gaze quickly sweeping around, his heart filled with regret.

In the vast night sky, he had no way of searching for Black Hawk's trail.

Could it be that my Wei family is destined to be unrelated to this beast?

Just as Wei Lin was about to give up.

In the distance, at the edge of the night, a tiny black dot was rapidly approaching him.

In the blink of an eye, the black dot suddenly enlarged and reappeared in front of him.

It was the same black eagle from before.

Wei Lin stood there stunned, completely taken aback.

He couldn't understand why this incredibly powerful monster had returned.

But after the initial shock came joy.

The Black Hawk's return is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven, a stroke of good fortune.

Wei Lin quickly composed himself and instantly devised a comprehensive set of words in his mind.

He looked sincere and adopted a very friendly attitude, ready to try and win her over.

Before he could even speak, Black Hawk on the other side had already spoken first.

The eagle's cry was deep and resonant, tinged with a hint of doubt.

"Hey buddy, how do I get to the City of Violins?"

As Black Hawk spoke, he awkwardly raised his broad wings and scratched his head.

Compared to its enormous and terrifying appearance, this action seems rather silly and cute.

Black Hawk had been living a peaceful and comfortable life in the palace, eating and sleeping without worry.

Until a few days ago, a hazy, illusory human figure suddenly appeared before it.

The sudden appearance of the ghostly figure startled Black Hawk, who was using the toilet.

At first, it thought it was seeing a ghost, and its whole body suddenly tensed up, getting into a fighting stance.

But once it could see the phantom's face clearly, it instantly relaxed.

This is no ghost or monster at all; it is clearly its long-departed master, Nicholas Zhao Si.

Upon reuniting with the phantom of his former master, Black Hawk wept with joy, forgetting that he was in the bathroom, and pounced on it.

Nicholas suppressed his disgust and waited for Black Hawk to finish his whining and complaining before explaining his purpose.

He handed a letter to Black Hawk, solemnly entrusting it to personally deliver the letter to Chu Ge.

After receiving his master's instructions, Black Hawk didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately set off from the underground palace to carry out the mission.

When Chu Ge left, he gave her his address.

However, Black Hawk had been trapped in the palace for too long, and his memories of the outside world had become blurred.

As it flew out of the underground palace and gazed upon the vast, intricate, and unfamiliar world before it...

I was completely stumped.

Chu Ge mentioned a city of violins, and there was a corresponding villa address, but he had no idea of ​​its exact location.

In desperation, it could only fly aimlessly in the sky, hoping to try its luck and ask someone for directions.

Several attempts were made, but all ended in failure.

Whenever it lands and approaches the ground to ask for directions, the mermaids are so frightened by its fierce appearance—all black with blood-red eyes—that they faint on the spot.

Black Hawk was filled with helplessness and confusion.

It's clearly harmless and so handsome; it was just asking for directions, so why are these people always so terrified?

After several attempts, Black Hawk still couldn't get any clues, so he simply gave up on the idea of ​​asking someone for directions.

But it was ultimately just a monster that had been trapped in a dark room for years, ignorant of the ways of the world and unfamiliar with the roads.

It would be impossible to successfully complete a mission alone in an unfamiliar world.

In the days that followed, Black Hawk completely entered a nomadic mode.

When thirsty, they descend to the mountains to drink from the streams; when hungry, they forage for food to satisfy their hunger.

It wandered and drifted through the entire music world for three days and three nights.

Finally, by a twist of fate, they flew back to the skies above this bordering mountain range of monsters.

Just now, after it sped past Wei Lin's side, it suddenly reacted.

The man in black robes, despite facing my SS-level pressure, showed no fear and remained calm.

This is the only one with whom we can communicate normally!

It immediately turned around and quickly returned, intending to ask for directions.

This led to the highly dramatic scene before us.

After hearing Black Hawk's question about directions, Wei Lin was briefly stunned.

He never expected that this top-tier demonic beast would return, just to ask for directions.

In the blink of an eye, a brilliant plan to befriend him took shape in his mind.

He decided to take the initiative and go with the flow, leading Black Hawk to their destination and quietly building up goodwill.

Once the two parties are thoroughly familiar and close, then extending an invitation to recruit them will significantly increase the success rate.

Once his mind was made up, Wei Lin smiled gently.

"Are you heading to the violin city?"

"It just so happens that I'm going there too. We're going the same way, so we can travel together."

Black Hawk was simple-minded; upon hearing that someone was going the same way, he agreed without a second thought.

"Can."

And so, the man and the beast flew side by side through the air, heading at full speed toward the City of Violins.

At the start of the journey, Wei Lin was worried that the long journey would be too awkward for the two of them to remain silent.

He had prepared countless small talk topics in his mind beforehand, intending to chat along the way and shorten the distance between them.

However, what happened next far exceeded his expectations.

Black Hawk, who had been trapped in the underground palace for countless years and was always alone, has become an extremely talkative person since he gained his freedom.

They chattered incessantly along the way, bombarding him with all sorts of questions from all corners of the world, almost trying to find out everything about Wei Lin's ancestors.

They chatted as they traveled, growing closer to each other.

Soon after, Wei Lin finally found the right opportunity and took the initiative to ask.

"Friend, are you going to the violin city on important business?"

Black Hawk didn't hide anything and answered directly.

"Looking for someone."

With just two simple words, Weilin instantly grasped the key information.

The other party is making a special trip to find someone, so they most likely need help.

He smoothly continued the conversation, his tone gentle and sincere.

"Whom are you looking for? Please tell me directly."

"I am very familiar with this area. I might even recognize it and can take you directly to your destination."

A person who is sought out by top-tier monsters must have an extraordinary identity.

If we can do the other party a favor through this, we will have a better chance of success in recruiting them.

Black Hawk was overjoyed to hear that he could save himself the trouble of finding his way.

It doesn't understand human nature or scheming, and it can't see through Wei Lin's hidden thoughts. Without any precautions, it reveals the address that Chu Ge left for it.

The moment the words fell.

Wei Lin, who was flying alongside him, suddenly stopped, a look of deep astonishment and solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He was very familiar with the address Black Hawk mentioned.

It was the Ai family villa.

When the divine blessing incident caused a worldwide sensation, he personally visited this place.

Could it be that Alice and this peak SS-rank monster... share a secret that no one knows about?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Wei Lin's face darkened instantly.

This is definitely the worst possible variable.

His goal for this trip was to assassinate Alice silently.

If this terrifyingly powerful black eagle is Alice's backer, then his assassination plan will face a huge obstacle.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart without showing any emotion, maintaining a calm expression on his face, and continued to accompany Black Hawk at full speed.

Before long, the man and the beast successfully arrived above the Ai family villa in the City of Violins.

Wei Lin instantly concealed his aura, his figure quietly hidden in the shadows on the villa's rooftop, holding back all movement and silently observing everything below.

Black Hawk landed steadily in the spacious back garden.

It lowered its head slightly, and its large eagle-like nose twitched gently.

Soon, they could smell the unique scent of Chu Ge in this courtyard.

The aroma is clear and strong, indicating it has lingered here for quite some time.

After confirming that the target's aura was correct, Black Hawk immediately raised his head and shouted loudly towards the main building of the villa.

"Master, master!"

Are you home?!

Loud shouts echoed throughout the villa.

However, it failed to summon Chu Ge, whom it was looking for, and instead startled Doubao, who was fast asleep in the villa, and a maid.

When the man and his dog rushed out of the room and into the back garden, they saw a giant black eagle with a jet-black body, broad wings, and menacing blood-red eyes in the open space.

Extreme fear swept over them, and both the man and the dog went black, fainting on the spot.

Seeing them faint, Black Hawk was once again at a loss.

It truly couldn't understand why everyone reacted this way when it stood there obediently.

Fortunately, a few moments later, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the villa.

Aigu, wearing a coat, rushed to the back garden.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the giant black eagle in the lawn.

He spoke, his tone tinged with doubt.

"How did you end up here?"

Black Hawk recognized Aigu at a glance, greeted him, and then directly stated his purpose.

"Brother, I'm here to see my master. Could you please call her out for me?"

Aigu understood.

This demonic beast guards the palace and will not leave easily unless there is an extremely urgent matter.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately informed Black Hawk of his current situation.

"Your master left the City of Violins a couple of days ago to go to the City of Sound for a competition."

"She is currently staying at a small hotel on the outskirts of Sound City."

Upon learning the exact location, Black Hawk couldn't help but scratch the back of his head with his wing, feeling utterly helpless.

It crossed the mountains with great difficulty, asking for directions and encountering obstacles along the way. It finally found its destination, but before it could even settle down, it had to turn back immediately.

This is a real headache.

But this was an important task entrusted to it by its old master, Nicholas. It was of great importance, and no matter how difficult or tiring it was, it had to complete it.

"Okay, I'll head to the City of Sound right away."

The black hawk immediately flapped its wings, ready to take off.

Just then, Aigu quickly stepped forward and called out to it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

He had already finished handling all his affairs in the past two days.

Tomorrow is the grand finale of the Music God Grand Ceremony Competition, and he had planned to set off for the City of Sound the next morning to watch the competition.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the Black Hawk's journey and set off ahead of time, saving both time and effort.

Black Hawk did not refuse, lowering its massive body slightly and raising its wings.

"Come on up, I'll fly you there."

"it is good."

Aigu nodded slightly.

He bent down to wake the maid who had fainted on the ground and quickly explained all the follow-up matters in the villa.

With a light leap, it landed steadily on the broad back of the black eagle.

"Hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Hawk stopped dawdling.

With a sudden flap of its enormous wings, a powerful airflow exploded out, and its massive body abruptly took to the air, hovering steadily a hundred meters above the ground.

Its sharp, eagle-like eyes quickly scanned the sky above the villa.

No matter how carefully it investigated, it could not sense the presence of the man in black robes.

Black Hawk couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Strange...where did that kind person who was going that way go?"

Hearing this, Aigu, who was on his back, casually asked a question in return.

"What kind person has disappeared?"

Black Hawk made no secrets and recounted the entire process of how he got lost, asked for directions, encountered the man in black robes, and was led to the Ai family villa.

After hearing all the details, Aigu's relaxed and peaceful expression instantly turned serious.

Traveling late at night, shrouded in black robes, his face concealed by a crow mask.

This disguise is clearly a deliberate attempt to conceal one's identity.

It's highly likely they're doing something clandestine and shady behind the scenes.

Combined with what Black Hawk said, the mysterious black-robed man's strength reached the peak of SS-level, on par with its own.

A top-tier expert, concealing his tracks in the dead of night, quietly appeared in this area.

This is by no means a coincidence.

Countless clues gradually connected in his mind.

The palace is heavily guarded and filled with skilled fighters, yet Princess Doriya has disappeared there.

It would be impossible for an ordinary superhuman to abduct a princess silently.

However, if it were a peak SS-level expert who secretly made the move, everything would make sense.

A strong sense of crisis instantly swept over Aigu's entire body.

His expression tightened, and he hurriedly pressed for more information.

"When you met that person, which direction was he flying in?"

Although Black Hawk didn't understand why Aigu's expression suddenly changed, he still obediently raised one of his wings and pointed it towards the distant horizon.

"That direction."

Aigu immediately took out his phone, opened the map navigation, and checked the location.

The moment his gaze fell upon it, his heart sank.

The black-robed man was heading straight for the City of Sound.

It perfectly matches the small suburban inn where Chu Ge and Alice are temporarily staying!

All the coincidences overlapped, and an incredibly astonishing conjecture suddenly exploded in his mind.

He didn't have time to think and immediately urged Black Hawk in a deep voice.

"Quick! Fly at full speed in this direction!"

"I'll explain the rest to you later!"

Sensing the urgency and seriousness in Aigu's tone, Black Hawk dared not slacken in the slightest.

Its wings flapped wildly, sending terrifying gusts of air soaring into the sky.

It accelerated to its maximum speed, transforming into a jet-black streak of light that tore through the night and vanished instantly above the villa.

During their high-speed flight, Aigu suppressed the urgency in his heart and told Black Hawk, who was beside him, all his speculations.

"I don't know why he would kindly show you the way."

"But he had been hiding on the rooftop eavesdropping on our conversation, and when he learned that you were going to find Chu Ge, he immediately felt threatened."

"He knows very well that once you successfully reach Chu Ge's side, with you, a peak SS-level demon beast, protecting him, all his subsequent assassination plans will be completely ruined."

"No assassin would willingly face a situation where a top-tier demonic beast is closely guarding their target."

"Therefore, he will definitely try to kill Chu Ge before you arrive, eliminating any possibility of complications."

After hearing all the speculations, Black Hawk was struck dumb, his eyes filled with shock and panic.

"Huh?! There's actually such a thing?!"

It knew that its new master, Chu Ge, was incredibly powerful, possessing a quasi-emperor-level weapon left behind by Nicholas, which ordinary experts could not shake in the slightest.

But the other party was hiding in the shadows and had been plotting for a long time.

Chu Ge was in the open, completely unprepared.

Once the opponent seizes an opening and launches a sneak attack, even if you have many trump cards, you may not have time to activate them.

Thinking of this, Black Hawk felt extremely anxious.

It dared not hold back in the slightest, unleashing all its combat power, causing its flight speed to surge once again, speeding along at breakneck speed.

At the same time, Aigu did not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

He took out his phone, quickly found Chu Ge's contact information, and dialed the number directly.

The phone rang twice before being successfully connected.

Aigu spoke urgently.

"Chu Ge, a man in black robes is heading towards the inn you're at. His target is most likely you and Aria!"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Two seconds later, Chu Ge's voice slowly came through.

"The man in black robes you mentioned, was he wearing a raven mask?"

Aigu's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for more information.

"That's right! Has he already found your way?!"

"Um."

On the other end of the phone.

The young girl stood alone on the top floor of the hotel, the evening breeze gently blowing through her hair.

She looked up at the deep night.

In the void, two black figures clashed fiercely, and the wind shook the heavens and the earth.

He told Aigu in a calm tone.

"He's already gotten into a fight with someone."
