Infinite flow is not like that at all

The wind and sand howled, and the entire world remained shrouded in a deathly, oppressive silence.

Annan led over a hundred elite soldiers and sped toward the square!

Along the way, monsters and corpses were everywhere, and the afterglow of the battle had not yet dissipated. The air was still thick with dark energy and the stench of blood!

Annan's gaze was profound:

"This is it... the masked man..."

Over the years, he has entered the Divine Cube, conquered countless dungeons, and devoted all his efforts to cultivation and rise to prominence, all in pursuit of the traces of a certain mask on the mortal leaderboard!

He has finally arrived at this hunting ground, lying low and patiently plotting his moves.

Some even deliberately get stuck on the main quest and refuse to complete it, remaining in the hunting grounds!

"...Even if we can't kill them."

Annan looked up: "We also need to find the clues behind the golden mask."

He looked up at the sky.

He knew that the masked man belonged to one of the twenty ethnic groups that stood at the pinnacle of everything.

He also knew that there was a powerful protector in the heavens, and that killing the masked man was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Annan... only wanted to find the golden mask.

He didn't want to know what the person behind the golden mask in the hunting grounds looked like; after all, the golden mask was just a totem, a symbol.

What he truly wanted to find... was the enormous being behind the golden mask.

after all.

That was the nightmare etched into his bones, and the enemy he would spend his entire life hunting down!

"quick!"

After speeding along, the outline of the central square finally came into clear view.

As Annan approached the ruins of the square, he looked somewhat surprised.

"Ok?"

"It's actually that intense?"

On the scorched earth, broken pillars collapsed, array patterns were mottled, and there were traces of battle everywhere, as well as many monster corpses.

"what happened?"

Logically speaking... those monsters shouldn't have broken free from the plaza's confinement, so how could they have fought outside the plaza?

Things seemed to be going a little beyond his expectations.

In the end what happened?

Annan looked at the square... At this moment, the square was still separated into inside and outside, and hesitated for a moment.

"Walk."

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Although we don't know what happened here, the three S-class leaders have not yet appeared.

Upon entering the square...

Annan immediately sensed its presence, his gaze sharp... he had just prepared for battle.

But then they saw two familiar figures.

It was Xiao and Mo Xiaofeng, who had just finished collecting the compass fragments, their gazes much calmer than before.

"Your Highness Annam."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"you...."

Everyone was somewhat shocked, because they had watched as the two of them, including Shen Ye, were dragged into the monster horde, but they hadn't expected that the two of them wouldn't be torn to pieces, but instead would be alive and well.

"How is this going?"

"This corpse... Shen Ye?" An Nan looked at the corpse on the ground, lying there, wearing only a blood-stained piece of clothing, with the back of his head pierced through. A calmness appeared in his eyes.

It's perfectly normal for people to die in this place.

but.

Shen Ye left a deep impression on him because he hadn't awakened... Even someone who wasn't even a mortal could come here and still fight against an A-level monster, which was enough to prove his amazing potential.

"No...."

Xiao took a deep breath: "Your Highness Annan."

"And you all."

"This is the masked man's corpse..."

Upon hearing this, most people's expressions changed only slightly; they were surprised and doubtful but did not react much, since many people did not know much about the masked man.

But some people.

These were elite soldiers who had actually dealt with the masked men... yet their expressions were utterly shocked! They couldn't believe it!

and.

Only Annan trembled, for he knew all too well what the masked man represented, and that someone could actually kill him under the watchful eyes of the protectors!

"Who...did this?"

Annan was losing his composure; this was the first time anyone had ever seen such an expression on the face of this supernova!

"Shen Ye".

“…” Annan was even more shocked: “Wait, isn’t he not yet at the mortal level?”

"Awakened."

"Oh, oh, oh." Annan suddenly realized.

No way! Oh my god!

So what if I've awakened?!

“Your Highness Annan, I know you have many questions now, but we must tell you immediately what Brother Shen... instructed us to do.”

"After all, time is of the essence. We must hurry before Brother Shen is exposed."

Annan took a deep breath. He saw that the clothes on the corpse had been stripped off and the mask was gone. He also saw the ceremony in the square. He roughly knew how Shen Ye had evaded the protectors' detection.

"Next..."

"We have to do one thing right now...it's our only chance to leave alive!"

...........

Time passed second by second.

Shen Ye, still dressed in the magnificent purple robes of the Purple-Faced Man and wearing a purple patterned mask, perfectly replicated the aura and demeanor of a nobleman, standing on the teleportation platform at the core of the ruins.

The Xiaoyue Ring operated steadily, completely concealing his own aura and perfectly mimicking the aura of the deceased purple-faced man.

Even the protectors could not detect the slightest abnormality.

"According to the purple-faced man's information, they can only stay in the hunting grounds for two hours."

"And now, it's about time to gather together."

He was the first to arrive and was waiting for the other four masked men.

"Shen Ye... if you can leave alive this time, your future will be extraordinary, and you will surely leave a strong mark on the history of the world." Xiao E's voice rang in Shen Ye's ears.

Yes.

This awakening of mortal nature was the greatest gain, and Shen Ye himself knew it... after all, he had truly witnessed the things deep within.

"But the prerequisite is survival."

Little Evil sighed: "And you killed that world noble, which is no small matter."

"Your enemies... will be as numerous as the stars, and as dazzling as the stars."

"Why are you reciting poetry now?"

"Because we're bound together! If you die, I'll die too! I'm panicking!"

"Fuck you."

Shen Ye remained calm.

"That's true." Xiao E comforted himself, "There's always a way out. As long as we don't expose ourselves, everything will be fine."

"Now."

"All you need to do is play the role of the purple-faced man well and leave quietly."

"You must also hide what you obtained from the purple-faced man you killed."

The little devil kept babbling on and on.

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then asked, "Who said I was going to leave quietly?"

"??"

Xiao E was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Shen Ye remained silent, unaware that he had already triggered the hidden main storyline pop-up and was already cursing and yelling!

It didn't know what Shen Ye was going to do! But it was already pleading with him, tears streaming down its face!

"Stop messing around! Can't you listen to me and play it safe?!"

Shen Ye smiled but remained silent.

He reached out and opened his inventory, but the purple-faced man's storage bag was blocked by a special energy barrier, preventing him from opening it.

but.

That's not the point.
