"Taoyuan Society..." Looking at the corpses lying around him, Anran's eyes were filled with a hint of indifference.

"Eh?" The little black cat lying on his shoulder showed a surprised expression on its face. "Taoyuan Society? Are these guys also members of Taoyuan Society?"

Of course she knew about the existence of Taoyuan Society, after all, An Ran had explained it to her before.

This was a group of sorcerers that stood above the kingdom's political power, even more secretive than the Sorcerer Council. And the leader of this organization was none other than Ild Mosan.

This person is a very remarkable person, quite remarkable.

His mentor was Alzu, the founder of the Demon Hunters, and he himself was one of the founders of the Warlock Alliance. However, according to existing historical records in this world, this Lord Mosan has been dead for over two hundred years. How could he still be the leader of the "Taoyuan Society"?

The little black cat was confused, very confused.

Moreover, his partner had previously confirmed that the mercenaries were hired by the little king of Novigrad, so how could they be related to Taoyuan Society?

"Do you really think that the little king gradually came to power on his own?" An Ran seemed to see what the little black cat was thinking and said in a calm tone.

"Isn't it..." The little black cat just asked this question, and then the whole cat was stunned.

It seems that there is really no possibility.

After all, Philippa was not an incompetent person. In the environment at that time, a female sorceress controlled the life and death of the entire country, and even the intelligence agents were on her side.

How could a psychotic young man gradually regain his power? Therefore, the other party must have mobilized external forces. And this external force is probably the "Taoyuan Society".

Even Philippa might not know this, which shows the terrifying nature of the "Taoyuan Society". But what is the purpose of this organization?

Of course, it is to control the world and reap the benefits of the entire world.

An Ran thought this in her heart, but did not say it out loud. With a calm expression, she opened the group chat screen and entered the chat interface.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Well, that's it, nothing to see. [Picture]

When I clicked on the picture, I was greeted by a sky full of yellow sand and a bright sun hanging high in the sky, scorching the earth.

Hatchet Girl: Oh my god, it looks very hot.

Book Artist: It’s really, really hot!

Fairy Chi Lian: This was once the greatest empire, yet it has declined to this point.

Despite the vast expanse of yellow sand, abandoned buildings can still be vaguely seen buried in the sand. If these buildings were restored, it would likely be possible to recreate the grandeur and prosperity of Shurima in the past.

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Shurima is indeed a great country, and the former Emperor of Shurima should not be underestimated.

Unafraid of sacrifice, and able to fight the Void's erosion for the entire continent, the Shurima Emperor was truly a hero. But now, she was going against her conscience and robbing this hero's tomb.

That’s right, Xiaonan is now going to Shurima to rob tombs.

In addition to herself, there were Cassiopena and Talon from Noxus, as well as Sivir, the mercenary leader hired along the way.

Speaking of which, this mercenary leader is quite famous in this area.

He is very capable, handsome, and has a good figure. His wheat-colored skin looks very healthy, and he speaks freely and unconventionally, which makes it easy for him to win the favor of others.

However, no one present looked down on her; this girl was quite vigilant.

"The ancient tomb you're looking for is less than twenty miles ahead." Sivir looked at Cassiopena with a smile and said, "Now, isn't it time to settle the balance?"

"Don't worry, Lady Sivir." Even beneath the blanket of yellow sand, Cassiopeia maintained her uniquely elegant demeanor. She smiled gently and said, "You won't be shortchanged on the balance. Just make sure we reach that destination."

"But we're almost there." Shiver frowned and said, "You've already seen that tomb, right?" As she spoke, she pointed to the building complex in front.

Speaking of which, Sivir was indeed somewhat interested in this tomb, but not much.

She preferred the money she could hold to herself rather than the tomb she was robbing. And instinctively, she had a strong aversion to that tomb. She couldn't get close, because if she did, something bad would happen.

"It's almost there, but not quite there yet." Cassiopena smiled and said, "Also, I need a favor from you."

"What?" Shiver raised her eyebrows, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

puff.

But at this moment, a sharp knife suddenly stabbed into her back.

1004 The Powerful Abyss

The blade pierced her back, and Sivir was still a little unaware. It was not until the sharp pain spread throughout her body that she realized what had happened.

"You, you guys..." Xiweier's eyes widened, and her face showed a mixture of shock and anger.

Yes.

She had been wary of this new team from the beginning, always feeling that they weren't serious archaeologists and must have other motives. But she hadn't expected them to suddenly attack her at this moment.

According to Sivir's idea, the opponent should attack at the entrance of the tomb or halfway. Why choose this time?

"It's incredible to see you, Your Excellency the Goddess of War." Cassiopena called out Sivir's mercenary title and smiled slightly. "Are you wondering why you couldn't prevent us even though you were always on guard?"

Sivir didn't answer, but her eyes gave the answer.

"It's simple." Cassiopeia blinked, looking like a playful little girl. But the words that came out of her mouth were as cold as the twelfth lunar month. "Because when you observe us, we are also observing you."

Sivir was stunned, and her body gradually collapsed. "Why?"

She wanted to know why the other party wanted to kill her. Was it because they couldn't pay her or to keep the secret?

However, Cassiopena didn't answer, letting her consciousness gradually sink into darkness. Then she turned and looked at Konan, who was not far away. "Your Excellency didn't stop me. Do you know why?"

"I'm your partner now." Xiaonan said lightly.

She actually knew, but just didn't want to say it.

"Ah, indeed." Cassiopena nodded slightly, seeming to agree with Konan's answer. "I'm very pleased that you are an honest and trustworthy person."

As she was speaking, several Noxian soldiers who accompanied them had already lifted the unconscious Sivir onto a pre-prepared stretcher, their movements quite roughly.

"If she could be a little more stupid, maybe she could live a little longer." Cassiopena watched the soldiers' actions with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

"There is no fool who can become the king of mercenaries who lives on the edge of a knife." Xiaonan said softly.

"You're right, so she's destined to die here." Cassiopena shrugged and said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to enter that tomb."

With that, the group headed back toward the tomb. Xiaonan pretended to be indifferent, lost in the group chat.

Book artist: Oh my god, this guy is really as vicious as a snake!

Lazy Little Kitten: Yeah, no wonder she was turned into a snake girl.

Skirt-lifting maniac: This Sivir also suffered an unexpected disaster. I guess she feels like she’s screwed at this moment.

Hatchet Girl: I think that since she chose to become a mercenary, she must have more or less realized this in her heart.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Yeah, that’s true.

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: I used my spiritual power to suppress her injuries, so she shouldn't die.

Curly-haired boy: So, is there really treasure in that so-called tomb?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Are you still interested in this thing?

Curly-haired boy: How is that possible! Gin-san, I'm just curious. I have no interest in money!

Shark-faced guy: You didn't go bankrupt in Pirates, did you?

Curly: Bullshit, Gin-san, how could I possibly go bankrupt? You know, Gin-san, I'm a walking 1.5 billion person in this world! Don't underestimate me, Gin-san, you bastard!

The foul-mouthed man in the suit: A walking 1.5 billion?

Illustrator: So he's got a bounty of 1.5 billion berries, right? But the bounty is 1.5 billion, and he doesn't have a penny? Is that right?

Curly: Isn't my bounty my money?

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: The bounty needs to be redeemed. Are you going to redeem it yourself?

Curly: Humph! Can't I just let Nami buy me out, and then I can escape from prison? Wait, this method does seem to work! Damn, why didn't I think of this before!

Skull Island Handsome Guy: ???

Skirt-lifting maniac: Phew, this card is a bug, right?

Miss Beaver: I feel like Yin has gone crazy because of poverty.

The artist of the book: Don’t worry about him, let this idiot do whatever he wants.

The villain in Soul Society: Ali, how is the situation over there?

Book artist: It’s not very good, to be exact, it’s very bad.

Upskirt Maniac: Uh, how bad is it?

The artist of this book: Most of the Eastern Region has fallen. Only two kingdoms and three empires remain.

Originally, there were eight empires in the Eastern Region, but now only three remain. The number of kingdoms is even more outrageous, having dropped from seventy-four to just two. With such a record, it could even be said that humanity has been completely defeated.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Oh my god!

Hatchet Girl: This is a bit...

The good news is that the traitor has finally been apprehended. He's one of the high priests of the Church. But in this situation, apprehending a traitor is of little use.

Wig: How could it be so fast? It’s only been a few days since you arrived!

Illustrator: Yes, it's only been a few days. But the Abyss Demons are indeed much stronger than we imagined. Just on the surface, there are at least eight Demon King-level ones.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: Demon King level?

Illustrator: Ah, they're demigods. The Demon King's power is equivalent to a demigod's, and the Demon God's is equivalent to a true god. This is the power breakdown of the Abyssal Demons. Eight demigods... humans simply can't stop them.

In a world where true gods don't exist, demigods are like nuclear bombs. Besides Eriri, there are indeed two other demigods in the human world.

But even so, there are only three demigods on the human side at most.

indeed.

There's a huge difference in power between demigods, and Eriri is a very powerful demigod. She can hold her own against three or four demigods.

However, the other two human demigods were no match. They were a notch below the powerful demigods of the Abyssal Demons, and even a one-on-one match would be difficult. Under such overwhelming power, the humans were naturally defeated.

1005 Human Body Becomes God

Pompeii, city gate tower.

Eriri stood on the wall, gazing anxiously at the distant beacon fires. From below, shouts of killing echoed, and brilliant streams of magical light exploded continuously.

Judging from the surface situation, the human camp seemed to be holding on. At least, the Abyss Demons hadn't approached the city yet. But Eriri knew it was simply because the higher-level demons hadn't yet taken action.

If those high-level demons were to take action, the entire Pompeii Kingdom would surely collapse.

"I never thought that those demons could do this." Suddenly, a faint female voice came from beside him.

It was Lagaia. Eriri had sensed her arrival a long time ago.

Seeing that Her Excellency the Saint didn't want to pay attention to her, Lagaia continued to speak to herself: "Humanity has been arrogant for thousands of years, and finally paid the price for its arrogance."

"So, you're not human?" Eriri turned and looked at her.

"It's human," Lagaia smiled. "But I don't deny my own arrogance. I thought the so-called Abyss invasion was just a minor incident, but I didn't expect it would cost me my country." By the end, the smile on her face turned bitter.

Yes, that's right.

Her country was also destroyed by the demons of the abyss, and now she is reduced to a queen without any support. Apart from a few personal guards, she has nothing left.

"No one expected this." Eriri breathed a sigh of relief, as if trying to comfort the other person.

"No, in fact, the sages of Twilight City had already made a prophecy a hundred years ago." Lagaia shook her head and said softly, "It's just that no one took it seriously."

The sage of Twilight?

Eriri's eyes were stunned, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

Having been a saint in this world for several years, she can be said to have known most of this world, and naturally knew the legend of Twilight City.

The so-called Twilight City is now the Theocracy.

Decades ago, Twilight City was destroyed by the combined forces of the rulers of the Eastern Region, and a theocracy was established on its ruins. The reasons for their destruction are widely debated.

According to the records of the Church of War, Twilight City was in trouble because it violated the taboos of the gods. And the destruction of Twilight City was not just a whim of the rulers, but also the shadow of the gods.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that for the rulers of various countries to take action at the same time, this must be the guidance of the gods behind the scenes.

"The destruction of Twilight City was indeed the will of the gods." As if guessing Eriri's thoughts, Lagaia said softly, "But the real reason wasn't their corruption, but rather their acquisition of the means to usurp the gods' authority."

"Oh?" Eriri's expression became serious, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
