Chapter 656 That Place?
Chapter 656 That Place?
"Envoy, sir!"
Seeing the arrival of this mysterious figure in a red cloak, Chi Long and Lucifer's expressions immediately changed. They quickly halted their actions and stood aside, respectfully looking at the envoy, their eyes filled with trepidation.
It wasn't just the two of them; Snite and Yan Luo also turned to the red-cloaked figure, their eyes filled with fear.
Not just these four Great King-level experts, but even their subordinates were looking at the mysterious envoy with utmost respect.
With the appearance of the red-cloaked figure, the atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive.
All the experts fell silent, refraining from acting recklessly in the presence of the envoy.
"Eh!"
Zhang Long watched the red-cloaked figure, and his pupils contracted sharply, feeling a chill down his spine. This person didn't even look at him, but just standing there was already terrifying, making not only his muscles tremble but his soul shudder as well.
With just the presence of this person, who knows what kind of devastation they could bring if they chose to act?
He had never imagined that a simple trip to White Eagle Country would lead him to encounter someone so terrifying.
Even the Great King-level experts here were showing deep respect and fear towards this person, making it clear how formidable their strength was.
It was possible that this person's power had transcended the Great King level and reached an even more mysterious and unfathomable realm.
Thinking of this, Zhang Long's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat breaking out.
If this mysterious figure was indeed as fearsome as he imagined, then everyone here would be in grave danger.
Liu Yifei and Shen Bing, the two women, were even more terrified.
Just the presence of these four Great King-level experts had filled them with despair and fear. Now, with their leader present, it seemed like an even more perilous situation.
In their immense fear, the two women clung tightly to the back of Wang Chao's clothing.
It was as if this was the only way to bring them some semblance of safety.
"Don't worry; I'm here," Wang Chao uttered calmly.
He spoke as he took a drag from his cigarette, keeping his eyes fixed on the mysterious envoy.
Regrettably, this envoy wore a mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
The red cloak was incredibly voluminous, shrouding the figure, making it impossible to discern whether this person was a man or a woman.
Wang Chao's words seemed to have a magical quality. They immediately calmed Liu Yifei and Shen Bing, who had been terrified moments ago.
"Divine Sight!"
A faint and eerie light blossomed in Wang Chao's eyes.
He wanted to use this mystical skill to see through the true identity and appearance of this red-cloaked mysterious envoy.
However, in the next moment, he froze, his face slightly darkening. "Meteorite material again?"
His Divine Sight skill could not penetrate the mask of this red-cloaked figure either. Could it be that this person's mask was also made of meteorite material?
The red-cloaked envoy cast a sharp glance at the Great King-level experts and then turned his gaze away from Wang Chao, fixing it on Shen Feng.
Finally, his gaze fell on the Seal of the Dsinister that Wang Chao had placed beneath his feet.
When he saw the Seal of the Devil, his icy eyes turned even colder, and he had a sudden realization.
"No wonder my techniques did not work. You used this ancient formation to isolate my power."
The red-cloaked envoy raised his head to stare at Wang Chao and uttered coldly, "To understand such an ancient formation, it seems you're no ordinary person."
"I must ask, who is your master?"
"With your level, you aren't even worthy of knowing my master's name."
Wang Chao took a drag from his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, holding the cigarette in his hand. He flicked off the ashes and said, "I called you over for one question, and it shouldn't be a big problem."
He stared at the red-cloaked envoy, his eyes abruptly becoming incredibly sharp and cold, each word delivered with force, "Did you put the spirit worm into Shen Feng's brain?"
He had heard the story of Shen Bing's family and knew that Shen Bing's mother had similar symptoms. Shortly after her mother's death, Shen Feng had contracted the same disease.
This was clearly the spirit worm migrating from one host to another!
From start to finish, it was the same creature that had plagued Shen Bing's mother and Shen Bing's younger brother.
This creature lived in an extremely remote, desolate, and bitterly cold environment, far from what could be found on the surface. Shen Bing's mother and Shen Feng having this condition was clearly artificial!
So, Wang Chao wanted to ask who was targeting Shen Bing's family. Maybe, through this avenue, he could also learn something about Shen Bing's father's disappearance.
"You bastard, speaking with this tone to the envoy, are you trying to die?" Chi Long scolded.
Snite, Yan Luo, and Lucifer glared at Wang Chao, their eyes hostile. In their eyes, the red-cloaked envoy was their lifelong faith, the most powerful and respected person in the world.
Insulting and demeaning them was one thing, but showing such an attitude to the envoy was simply suicidal.
Hence, they're even more displeased with Wang Chao, wishing they could tear him apart.
The mysterious red-cloaked envoy's eyes turned frigid. He extended his hand to stop Chi Long and the others, who were itching for action. Staring coldly at Wang Chao, he said, "It seems you're aware of the spirit worm's existence, and you are indeed no ordinary person."
"Killing you like this would be a waste."
"Here's what I'll do: become my subordinate, and I'll spare your life."
Wang Chao chuckled at these words.
At this point, this person was trying to buy him?
The red-cloaked envoy gazed at Wang Chao and said, "Someone who knows about the spirit worm must be from a renowned lineage. Both master and disciple must be miraculous people."
"Maybe you came from that place."
"Am I right?"
"That place?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"Do not play dumb. The spirit worm comes from that place, and anyone who knows about the spirit worm must come from that mysterious place."
"So, you also come from that place?"
"..."
Wang Chao and the mysterious red-cloaked envoy locked eyes, both gazes as cold as knives.
An invisible aura emanated from the two of them, like two domes, finally colliding in mid-air.
Buzz!
In the void, an ear-splitting explosion immediately erupted.
At the point of collision, a burst of electric light radiated.
Accompanying the collision of their auras, everyone at the scene had their ears ringing.
At the same time, apart from Shen Bing and Liu Yifei, everyone present felt a mighty shockwave violently crashing into them.
Atli and the underlings of the Great King-level experts were all sent flying by the shockwave of the collision, spitting blood, looking quite miserable.
