Chapter 99: The Evil Eye Demon Blade

"A circular emblem... with two purple snakes coiling around the periphery, and what seems like a dark red vortex in the center..."

After looking for a while, Li Wei finally saw something that could be called a symbol on one of the black-robed figures. During this process, the remaining monks had already been defeated.

After the strongest, Lingmu, fell in battle, the remaining three monks found it even harder to turn the tide. Especially when the huge demon, which Lingmu had fought so hard to repel, re-entered the fray, their days became even more difficult.

However, the black light that had killed Lingmu did not appear again.

But even so, shortly after Li Wei finished describing the emblem to Ban Derui, another monk was killed.

"It's definitely the Dark Abyss Sect," Ban Derui said with certainty, "Although I don't know why this infamous evil organization would appear in this disaster, we must report this to the guild immediately!"

After saying that, Ban Derui climbed down from the tree and called to Li Wei, "Let's go, stop looking, the outcome is already decided."

Li Wei sighed and climbed down as well.

Cai Yutong said somewhat worriedly, "Are we really just going to ignore those monks?"

This girl's only flaw was her soft heart.

"We can't help them, it's not a battle we can get involved in," Li Wei said, "According to Ban Derui, the Seven Spirit Monks are seven experts who have unlocked their genetic locks, and it's not as simple as just the first chain. With their seven strengths, they are about to be wiped out by someone, and if we five join in, we'll just be throwing our lives away."

Cai Yutong fell silent for a moment, not saying anything more, and followed Li Wei and the others.

She was kind and soft-hearted, but not to the point of being foolish.

...

Ten minutes later, Mantining Central Square.

A man in a red robe, supported by two black-robed figures, walked out of the main entrance of Building A. Outside the door, the bodies of four monks had been laid out in a row.

The man in the red robe waved gently to the huge demon standing on the side, and a red light enveloped it. The demon let out an unwilling roar, but was powerless against the red light and dissipated in mid-air.

A black-robed figure approached and said respectfully, "Lord Priest, it seems that several people over at Building B have already escaped. Should we go after them?"

The man in the red robe waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, don't chase them. It's unknown how long it will take to catch up, and we need to withdraw too. The actions of those demon hunters are fast, they have already pushed here... Prepare to evacuate quickly, we're going back to the research institute."

The black-robed figure hesitated and said, "Great Priest, are we really going back to the research institute? Even though there are many half-mechanical creations there, the defense forces of Weishi City have also been mobilized. Can't we hold it?"

The man, known as the High Priest, lifted his hood, revealing a pale, yet crazed face, "Abyss of darkness, descending to the dust. Our work on Merlin Road is not yet finished. Those foolish merchants and politicians want to use us, but aren't we also using them? Let them see the power of the powerful weapons created by the dark forces!"

...

Successfully finding the hidden pickup truck, Li Wei and the others got in and returned to the Clover Community before dark.

The five of them arrived at the guild's hunter area together, ready to submit their mission.

At this time, the guild was experiencing a peak flow of people. After a busy day, the hunters returned to the guild headquarters, submitted their missions, and collected their rewards. Then, they rested. Those who didn't harvest much during the day or felt they were still in good shape might want to go out and gather some wild food at night, preparing for the next round of action.

Bustling and crowded.

"Take your time in line," Li Wei said.

"Ah..." Ban Derui sighed, "I was thinking of quickly submitting the mission and then going to report to the guild leader."

"There's no way..." Qian Long smirked on the side, "You go ahead, we'll collect and distribute the rewards ourselves."

Ban Derui rolled his eyes and scolded unkindly, "No way!"

The Clover Guild's management system was relatively sound, and there were more regulations in some places. Taking a team as a unit to accept missions, when submitting the mission, the whole team needed to be present, and then the rewards would be distributed to prevent any dirty dealings among team members, such as someone privately submitting the mission and running off with the reward.

Although such things were rare, it was good to prevent them from happening through the system.

So, Ban Derui needed to stay here honestly and wait in line with everyone else.

While the five of them were chatting, a voice suddenly interjected from the side, "Isn't this Ban Derui? How's your harvest today?"

Turning their gaze, they saw a young man with red hair.

"Not bad," it seemed that Ban Derui knew him, "We completed a B-rank mission and killed quite a few monsters."

"That's really good," the red-haired man nodded, then looked at the other four with some surprise, "You guys completed a B-rank mission with just the five of you? Yutong hasn't unlocked her genetic lock yet, right? And Wells has just reached the first development level not long ago, right?"

"Yeah," Ban Derui grinned and pointed at Li Wei, "But we have a strong reinforcement."

"Oh!" The red-haired man looked at Li Wei, his expression becoming exaggerated, "You're the one they call the Evil Eye Demon Blade, Li Wei?"

"Huh?"

Li Wei was completely confused, "When did I get such a nickname? I didn't even know?"
