"Not bad, Cat Boss, it's just a pity it's still a bit lacking, but..." Zhao Xuan had no idea what Liu Hai was thinking. He looked at a hand wrapped in wave power and saw cracks on it, and praised it.
But he paused abruptly, then looked in one direction and saw an ouroboros pattern.
Zhao Xuan suddenly chuckled, "Looks like you're really getting senile, actually colluding with the Cult of Life."
Liu Hai didn't reply, but stared coldly at Zhao Xuan. At this moment, Liu Hai had already decided that Zhao Xuan must stay here.
The butler quietly retreated to the door, his right hand already reaching for the high-end ball at his waist.
"Since you know, then stay here," Liu Hai said coldly.
The crystal chandelier on the roof suddenly flickered, and three dark figures leaped down from the second-floor corridor bridge—black-robed men wearing raven masks surrounded Zhao Xuan in a triangular formation, and corrosive venom dripped from the fangs of the black aluga at their feet, scorching wisps of blue smoke on the carpet.
Zhao Xuan remained calm, his right hand already reaching inside his coat. The black-robed man in the lead suddenly roared, "Flame Breath!"
Three Black Rhino simultaneously unleashed pillars of inferno fire, instantly carbonizing the leather sofa with the scorching flames.
However, a golden light suddenly appeared amidst the flames, and Corviknight spread its wings to protect its trainer, its jet-black feathers shimmering with a cold metallic luster in the firelight.
"Air Blades!" Zhao Xuan's voice pierced through the explosion. The air currents stirred up by the Steel-Armored Raven's flapping wings transformed into hundreds of wind blades, forcing the black-robed man to retreat repeatedly.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Zhao Xuan's wave-guiding power spread out like ripples, and the structure of the entire villa clearly appeared in his mind—thirty meters underground, a certain resentful energy fluctuation was constantly stirring.
Liu Hai, leaning on his snake-headed cane, stood up: "Kid, don't even think about it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Steel-Armored Raven's steel wings had already cleaved through the wall. Seeing this, Zhao Xuan leaped onto the bird's back in an instant...
At the same time, three 100,000-volt bursts came from different directions.
The Steel Raven spun rapidly in mid-air, its metal claws colliding with the electricity and sparking dazzling flashes, before using the recoil to hurtle towards the rose garden on the east side of the manor—the entrance to the underground laboratory.
"Stop him!" With Liu Hai's roar, Cat Boss transformed into a golden lightning bolt to intercept him.
This Gym Leader-level Pokémon displayed terrifying speed; the claws that sprang from its paw pads even sparked against Corviknight's metallic feathers. Zhao Xuan threw a Poké Ball with a backhand: "Popy, Venom Tackle!!"
Poison Baby's purple figure appeared in mid-air, and a ball of light containing purple venom struck the Cat Boss in the waist and abdomen... Taking advantage of the Cat Boss's obstruction, Steel Crow swooped down and overturned the entire flower bed, revealing the alloy gate gleaming coldly below.
Zhao Xuan conjured two wave missiles with his hands and slammed them down, shattering the three-meter-thick blast door as if it were made of paper.
"call!!"
After the door was blasted open, a cold wind blew out.
Strange whimpers could be heard coming from inside. Under Zhao Xuan's aura, various Pokémon variants floated in the glass chambers on both sides of the underground palace.
Venusaur vines grew from Gyarados's horns, and Victreebel's Bug Cage sprouted from Arcanine's back. Zhao Xuan's fingernails dug deeply into his palms; these modified creatures all bore the Ouroboros mark on their necks.
"Isn't it spectacular?" Suddenly, Liu Hai's voice came from afar, "Using Xerneas's Horn of Life to fuse different species, that's the true creator..."
"As long as I extract their life force again at that time, I will gain an even longer life."
Zhao Xuan glanced around and saw that Liu Hai and the others had already surrounded him.
Zhao Xuan was also aware of the Cult of Life, after all, these forces were all evil forces.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but know.
The core doctrine of the Church of Life is that all spirits are but firewood, and only humans are immortal.
The organization distorts the divinity that Xerneas bestows upon life, proclaiming that all Pokémon are born to serve human evolution.
They used gene-chimerism technology to create the 4.2 Fruit of Life, which condenses the life force of ten Pokémon of the same type into a blood-red crystal. Those who consume it can become ten years younger, but of course, there are also side effects.
Its organizational structure consists of shepherds, grafters, blood-granting apostles, and immortals.
Among them, the Herdsmen have green ouroboros earrings and are responsible for luring wild Pokémon. They often disguise themselves as rangers or rescue station employees.
A grafting specialist, wearing a silver scalpel necklace, a biologist by training, specializing in implanting Xerneas cells into Pokémon spinal cords.
The Blood Apostle, with a ruby forehead ring and a Fruit of Life embedded in its forehead, can control more than three modified Pokémon.
An immortal being, with a fairy horn tattoo, a high-ranking individual who has lived for over 150 years, whose heart has been replaced with a fragment of Xerneas horn.

Chapter 128 Reencounter with Li Anran
Of course, these Xerneas Horn fragments are said to have fallen from Xerneas.
It wasn't the Cult of Life that killed Xerneas.
After all, if the Cult of Life had that kind of power, it wouldn't be hiding in the shadows.
However, it cannot be said that the Life Cult has no strength. The fact that it can still survive to this day despite being hunted by various countries shows that its strength is not so simple.
Most of the people who join this faction are old folks nearing the end of their lives who are unwilling to die and thus take the risk of joining the Cult of Life.
Just like bangs.
"All of you, attack! Kill him!" Liu Hai said venomously, looking at Zhao Xuan.
The reaction had already given itself away, and at this point, Liu Hai couldn't care less about anything else.
"Tear him apart!" With Liu Hai's frantic command, three spinal-outward-curving Black Garuru pounced first. Their claws gleamed with a ghostly blue poisonous light, and their paw pads had evolved suction cup structures, allowing them to traverse walls as if walking on flat ground.
"Steel Armored Raven!! Air Blade!!" Zhao Xuan shouted.
Upon hearing its master's command, Corviknight immediately spread its wings, unleashing a silver storm. Its wings were as hard as steel, each flap carrying immense power. The air blades moved with lightning speed, instantly slicing a Pokémon to pieces.
Just then, Poison Baby seized the opportunity and quickly took flight.
Its cheeks puffed out, as if gathering enormous energy. Suddenly, a large gush of purple venom gushed from its mouth like a fountain.
The venom cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly covering the entire ground. The ground began to churn violently, and highly toxic foam continuously emerged, as if the entire space was shrouded in a poisonous fog.
"Now! Kodora!!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan did not hesitate to flip over and leap onto Kodora's back. Kodora's body was as sturdy as a mountain.
Kodora let out a deafening roar, a roar that seemed capable of shattering walls and shaking the very soul. It took heavy steps, carrying Zhao Xuan forward with it.
Kodora's power was like an overwhelming force; it effortlessly smashed through three walls as if it were made of paper.
Screams of agony came from behind the cultists. Two black-robed figures who were trying to give chase were trapped in the poisonous swamp. Their Black Rhino was melting, revealing their internal organs, a mixture of machinery and flesh.
"Luke Cat!! 100,000 Volts!!"
Suddenly, the cat's fur stood on end, and blue electricity surged through it rapidly.
This caused spiderweb-like arcs of electricity to light up the surroundings. Five armed cultists convulsed within the electric grid as their modified Duduli necks burst open, revealing mechanical air tubes with rotating gears inside.
"Watch out for your head!" Zhao Xuan ducked down with lightning speed. Just as he bent over, Kodora's head, as hard as steel, slammed forward and collided violently with a Pokémon that was rushing towards it.
In an instant, a loud "bang" was heard, and the Pokémon was knocked backward and crashed heavily to the ground not far away.
Meanwhile, the fierce fighting here had already attracted the attention of everyone in the villa area. The once peaceful villa area instantly descended into chaos, with people fleeing in panic, screams and shouts rising and falling.
Amidst the chaos, in a villa relatively close to the Liu family's villa, Li Anran was being tightly protected by her parents and several bodyguards, who hurried away, trying to get as far away from this terrible battle as possible.
However, despite their eagerness to escape, Li Anran couldn't help but frequently look back, his gaze fixed on the place where flames were shooting into the sky. He saw flying Pokémon colliding fiercely in the air, producing deafening roars that seemed to make the entire villa area tremble under the powerful force.
The breathtaking scene terrified the wealthy residents of the villa area; they had never witnessed such an intense Pokémon battle.
Just then, Li Anran suddenly stopped as if frozen in place. Her gaze was fixed on the enormous steel-armored raven, and she muttered to herself, "It's Zhao Xuan..."
Since what happened in Daxing Village, Li Anran has been thinking about Zhao Xuan from time to time.
At the same time, Li Anran also found a lot of information about Zhao Xuan online, which made her more and more curious about Zhao Xuan.
I still vividly remember Zhao Xuan's starter Pokémon, Corviknight.
"Anran, why are you stopping? Hurry up and go! Those people from the Cult of Life are all crazy. We need to get out of here quickly." Seeing his daughter standing there in a daze, Li's father hurriedly said, while pulling Li Anran forward quickly.
"The Cult of Life!" Upon hearing this, Li Anran unconsciously raised her voice.
"Yes, it's the Cult of Life. I just sent someone to check, and the person in charge of the Liu family has joined the Cult of Life," Li's father said as he walked.
When the explosion was heard, Li's father had already sent someone to check.
But what no one expected was that the old man from the Liu family would actually join the Life Cult in a heartless and insane way; he must have gone senile.
"Whoosh!!" Just then, a shadow swept over their heads.
Li Anran and the others looked up and saw a creature with orange feathers, and milky white feathers in the middle and at the tips of its wings. It had a red crest on its head and a long, pointed beak, like a small dagger.
It has a long neck, rough and messy feathers on its chest, and four brown tail feathers. Its wings are broad, and its claws are light pink, with three of its four toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
This is a large-billed finch.
Behind Finch, many other flying Pokémon flew towards the direction of the battle.
There are Swellow, Charizard, Skarmory, Talonflame, and more...
There are also trainers, either holding the Pokémon's paws or on its back.
“It’s Li Zhi and the others.” Li’s father, 447, said as he watched the flying Pokémon soaring overhead.
Although this is an affluent area, there are quite a few trainers here, so Mr. Li was not surprised at all.
"Dad, I want to help too." Li Anran said, and before her father could answer, she released a small fire horse (in Galar's form). Its mane was light purple and bluish-green, and its four hooves were covered with purple fur.
It has a single horn on its head. Its mane changes color over time, displaying iridescent hues.
Li Anran immediately flipped onto it: "Little Pony, run that way."
"Hee hee hee!!" Little Pony cried out and started running quickly.
"Da da da……"
The horseshoes collided with the hard cement, making a crisp hoofbeat.
Seeing this, Li's mother, who had been silent all along, was about to shout, but Li's father interrupted her: "Don't shout, just let Anran go."
"But that's too dangerous," Li's mother said with some concern.
“It will only get more dangerous in the future, and Anran needs to have her own strength,” Li’s father said upon hearing this.
As a businessman, Li's father had a premonition that the world would not be very stable in the future, so he did not stop his daughter from becoming a trainer.
In addition, this world is always a world centered around trainers.
(It's April already, I'm begging you all for subscriptions!! Monthly tickets!! Reviews!! Flowers!!!)
Chapter 129 Reinforcements have arrived!
"Thump!! Boom!!" Suddenly, a dark shadow flew backward like a cannonball and crashed directly into the villa.
The impact created a large hole in the Liu family's villa, which then collapsed with a series of loud crashes.
"Aura missile!!" Just then, Zhao Xuan's shout echoed throughout the battlefield as a aura missile, several meters long, slammed directly into the villa.
"Cat Boss!!! Destruction Ray!!"
Just as the missile struck the villa, a venomous roar echoed from beneath the collapsed building.
"Meow!!! Awooo!!"
Cat Boss's agile figure, like a leopard, leaped to the front of the wave missile in a few leaps, roared, and in just an instant, a beam of destructive death light carrying an aura of destruction spewed out from its big mouth.
"Whoosh!! Whoosh!!! Boom!!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan shouted without hesitation, "Steel Crow!! Gale!!"
"Caw!!" Having received the order, the Corviknight forced back the Electric Dragon. With a flap of its wings, a silver hurricane surged towards Persian like a terrifying wave.
"Electric Dragon!! Quickly protect Cat Boss!!" Upon seeing this, Liu Hai, who was in the ruins of the villa, suddenly narrowed his eyes and hurriedly ordered Electric Dragon to protect Cat Boss.
Currently, only Cat Boss is the strongest here. The others from the Life Cult are just henchmen, the strongest being only at the elite level, and there are only twenty-five of them.
The others were just experimenters.
And he was the supreme commander of this laboratory.
He originally built the laboratory below his villa for security reasons, since this is a wealthy area and the higher-ups would never have imagined that there was a laboratory here.
He originally intended to keep it hidden from view, but he was careless and was discovered by a young upstart.
Now all his schemes have failed, and his Liu family will perish.
Thinking of this, Liu Hai glanced at Liang Zhengxian, who was buried in the ruins, his eyes filled with resentment. This was all the work of that bastard.
If it weren't for Liang Zhengxian, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
But now it's all too late.
However, Zhao Xuan had no idea what Liu Hai was thinking. Looking at the electric dragon that had blocked the Steel Crow's fatal blow, Zhao Xuan frowned.
