The evening rain fell, and the night wind was bleak.
This was a silent funeral. There was no ceremony, no banquet, and no family members. Even the mourners were in groups of twos and threes, casually strolling through the cemetery.
The innermost tombstone was polished until it shone brightly. There were no other tombs around it. Everyone had to stop and bow three meters away from the tombstone.
Li Xiang held Ming Xu's hand and walked to the innermost part of the cemetery, half of his face hidden under the hood. There were too many people wearing black cloaks, so no one would pay attention to such a young couple. But the terrifying aura coming from them forced them to open a path.
What a domineering aura.
A few of the black-cloaked people felt a chill in their hearts. From the vague appearance of the couple, they could tell that they were young, but they had an aura that made many players tremble in fear.
Before they reached the tombstone, a low uproar suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Looking over, Ai Yakumo and Atsushi Amakusa, who had taken off their hoods, slowly walked out of the crowd and came to Kou Ruhai's tombstone. They slowly knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Xiang had only recently heard that the person who secretly supported Ai Yakumo to live in the family and recommended her to the Polar night training camp was Chief Instructor Kou Ruhai.
He was also the teacher of the previous head of the Amakusa Clan.
Perhaps in his opinion, he was just doing something he had always done, but it had a great impact on these two young people, enough to change their lives.
Without the Polar night, Atsushi Amakusa and Ai Yakumo would not have been able to return to the family and hold power. They wouldn't even have been able to level up as players. They would have been oppressed by the family.
That was why they tried to assassinate Ji Zhanxue as soon as Kou Ruhai died, even if it meant sacrificing the entire Yakumo family.
Between the two of them was a little girl wearing a black shirt and a black skirt. She looked cute and cute, resembling Atsushi Amakusa. Her eyes had a trace of extreme calmness, but her hair was wavy and blonde like her mother, draping over her shoulders like a doll.
Looking at the family of three kneeling on the ground, Li Xiang was silent. He slowly tightened his grip on Ming Xu's hand and asked softly, "Do you think the human camp is really worth fighting for?"
"But we can't go to the Calamity Faction either." Ming Xu tilted his head and looked at him silently. Then, he sighed softly.
"You don't want to fight for the Seven Continents." Ming Xu's words had always hit the nail on the head. He was never tactful and was always so direct.
It directly hit Li Xiang's sore spot.
"But I have to fight. Within three months, she will launch a Holy War level attack. This is her official declaration of war against me. I can't avoid it. If we can't go to the New World, we won't be able to stop their attacks forever. So I want you to help me. "Li Xiang looked guilty. He really didn't want to make such a request of Ming Xu.
She should have been free.
He was the one who freed her from the slaughter. The Mother Goddess was a double-edged sword. If she wasn't careful, she would be doomed eternally.
"Everything I have is yours. There's no need to talk about helping." Ming Xu smiled faintly and leaned his head on his shoulder. "I know. I'll help you take care of the passage."
"Ai Yakumo, Atsushi Amakusa! You still dare to come here! "
A loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu's entanglement was forcefully interrupted. He looked up in dissatisfaction.
The one who spoke was a black-robed man. There were four other black-robed men standing beside him. The five of them were separated from the surrounding people, like a small, isolated group.
"As the captain expected, the S-class fugitives Ai Yakumo and Atsushi Amakusa are on the run. We, the cleaning team, are here to officially issue an arrest warrant for you." The black-robed man took off his hood, revealing an ugly face full of scars. His expression was unruly and arrogant. "Don't make any futile resistance. The rest of you better not obstruct our cleaning team. The captain will be here soon."
"If you want to make a move against us, you'll have to consider your qualifications first!" The scar-faced man tore off his black robe, revealing the uniform of the cleaning team. He then fiercely roared at one of the black-robed men who was about to step forward.
Hearing that Bai Dongxue would be here soon, the black-robed man's steps faltered, and he unwillingly retreated.
In the past three years, Bai Dongxue's development had been like the sun in the sky. Not only had he been promoted to a reserve deacon of the main family, but he had also taken full control of the cleaning team, which gathered the elites of the various aristocratic families of the Seven Continents. His name was like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads. No one dared to underestimate him.
The scar-faced man led his companions towards Atsushi Amakusa and his family.
Atsushi Amakusa frowned. His hands slowly transformed into two emerald short blades. Ai Yakumo also stood up angrily. Both of them were Level 1 players. In a two-versus-five situation, they were at an absolute disadvantage.
Yu Bai and Li Weilan, who were hidden in the crowd, slowly moved forward. At the same time, Ji Yanqing and Chen Fan also quietly moved to the side.
"Auntie Mi Cha, is the cleaning team your family's people? Why did they capture Auntie Xiao Ai and Uncle Lie? "Chen Xuanxuan asked in a childish voice as she lay on Baimiya's chest.
Her voice was neither soft nor loud, but it immediately attracted the attention of many people around them.
Mi Cha? Was there a second player named Mi Cha in the Seven Continents?
Baimiya coughed awkwardly. Her status and position were not in a good position to attend the funeral. She had originally wanted to hide her identity and secretly mourn the Chief Instructor, but this little girl's words had exposed her.
Li Xiang would definitely not tolerate someone acting so atrociously in his territory. However, he did not know how many other people were lurking around. The Polar night cemetery had never restricted anyone from entering, so there might be spies from other aristocratic families. Thus, he was in no hurry to leave.
On the other hand, Ming Xu slowly let go of his hand and walked step by step towards the tombstone.
"Stop! The cleaning team is on duty. Unrelated people, please leave! "
Ming Xu had just taken a few steps when an extremely rude voice came from the side.
She ignored it and took a few more steps forward. Behind her, another roar came, "I told you to stop! Didn't you hear me?!"
This time, it was the scar-faced man who spoke.
The scar-faced man was brimming with killing intent and arrogance. Based on the fluctuations of his power, he had probably just advanced to Level 1 not long ago. Although he had a ruffian aura, from his posture and subtle movements, he should have been from the military's ace unit.
Recently, the cleaning team had recruited a large number of military elites and aristocratic families. The four players behind the scar-faced man were from several super aristocratic families. Their expressions were reserved as they quietly surrounded Ming Xu.
"It seems that there are always people who want to challenge the authority of our cleaning team." The scar-faced man sneered and reached out to grab Ming Xu. "I'm giving you face, but you don't want it!"
He was a Guardian, so the moment he made his move, a Guardian's Light Shield automatically appeared around him.
Ming Xu slowly opened her slightly drooping eyes. A terrifying killing intent spread out from her. The scar-faced man could not breathe as the aura of disaster spread out from her.
She had not even made a move, but countless people present felt a wave of pressure. It was as if layers of thick dark clouds were pressing down from the sky. Everyone was frozen in place, unable to move.
"What a strong aura of disaster. Is she here?!" The scar-faced man was not stupid. There were only two women in the Seven Continents who could emit such a terrifying aura of disaster as a player.
He couldn't afford to offend either of those two women.
"Captain, save me!" The scar-faced man roared.
The emerald green bamboo grew under Ming Xu's feet. Its branches and leaves were lush, and in the blink of an eye, her entire body was wrapped in bamboo leaves.
Every bamboo leaf was as sharp as a blade. They revolved around Ming Xu as if they had a mind of their own, as if they would stab her at any moment.
Ming Xu raised her hand. A black mist rose from the center of her palm. The mist slowly condensed into a blurry figure. The monster in the mist let out a shrill cry. It opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth, and gnawed at the bamboo leaves.
With every bite, a large patch of emerald green bamboo leaves would turn into a black liquid and flow into the black mist.
Enslave Disaster!
This was the first time most of the players present had seen this ability. They instinctively went into a state of alert when they saw the Disaster. Many of them had not actually fought the Disaster before, and the terrifying negative emotions they felt were enough to make most people despair.
The black mist monster tore holes in the emerald green bamboo. After removing all the obstacles that were restricting Ming Xu's movements, it roared and pounced at the scar-faced man.
A moon-white figure walked out of the bamboo leaves. He smiled and reached out to block the black mist monster. A majestic aura coiled around the monster like a white dragon, slowly closing in. The Disaster roared and howled, but it could not break free from Bai Dongxue's right hand.
"This is a Grade F Disaster that hasn't formed yet, right? Your ability is to randomly summon Disasters?" Pure white lines lit up on Bai Dongxue's arm. The Bai family's unique white dragon mark shone, releasing a terrifying white dragon aura.
This was an extremely pure aura, comparable to the White King's aura. It was clear that Bai Dongxue was on the path to becoming a White King. If he kept going, he would be able to reach that level one day.
The prerequisite was that he could reach Level 9.
White steam rose from the Disaster's body. The black mist on its body dissipated bit by bit, revealing its true form. It was a slippery caterpillar-like monster with mouthparts all over its body.
Ming Xu looked at Bai Dongxue quietly. He did not care about the Disaster he had caught. He just looked at him, then suddenly took out the Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost from under his skirt.
As soon as the gun appeared, Bai Dongxue's expression changed.
He exerted force in his right hand and crushed the Calamity in his hand with a crack. He watched as the Origin Fire escaped into the air, but he didn't care. Instead, he retreated to the scarred man's side as if he was facing a great enemy. Countless green bamboo leaves slowly gathered to form a green transparent longsword in front of him.
"Using this gun here, are you crazy?" Bai Dongxue knew the power of the Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost. Or rather, there were not many players who did not know how terrifying this weapon was.
No one knew when or where Ming Xu had obtained this weapon. Ever since she used it in battle, at least ten players had died under it.
The scariest thing was that no one, be it players or Disasters, could survive a single shot from the gun.
The Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost's attack could destroy a player's heart and extinguish the Disaster's flame.
Ming Xu opened her mouth and spat out her luscious tongue. With a light curl of her tongue, she swallowed the escaping Source Fire into her stomach, causing the hearts of the other players to tremble.
They had heard that Ming Xu and the First Lady were using their own bodies to raise Disasters, but seeing it with their own eyes was still shocking.
After all, players and Disasters were theoretically two completely opposite creatures. Let alone coexisting, it was difficult for them to even coexist peacefully.
Ming Xu did not reply to Bai Dongxue. He just raised the Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost in his hand, as if he was ready to fire at any moment.
No one could remain calm under the threat of the Lunar Shadow Hoar Frost, not even Bai Dongxue.
He looked at Ming Xu. After a while, he slowly put away his sword and raised his hands: "I don't think you want to fight in the cemetery."
"Let them go." Ming Xu was unmoved. He still stared at Bai Dongxue and protected Atsushi Amakusa and his wife behind him.
Most people didn't dare to stand up for Yakumo's Ai after seeing Bai Dongxue. There were probably only a few people left who were qualified to do so.
The situation was very tense.
After the scarred man knew that the girl who almost killed him was Ming Xu, he immediately shut his mouth.
Most of the time, the reputation of the Cleaners was indomitable, but there were also some special circumstances.
Among these special circumstances, Ming Xu was a special case among special cases.
The other players would at most not give the Cleaners any face, but they would not easily fall out with them. Only she was too lazy to deal with them, and if they got in her way, she would directly attack them without saying anything.
The scarred man remembered that many of his colleagues had died at Ming Xu's hands, including some young descendants of the super families. They were supposed to be the future successors of their families, but she killed them with a single shot.
Those incidents caused a lot of commotion, but in the end, they were left unsettled. When all the Level-9 players disappeared, a Level-8 player like the First Lady represented the strongest combat power in the Seven Continents. Who would dare to provoke her?
"They are the most wanted criminals in the military. I'm here. How can I let them go?" Bai Dongxue smiled bitterly. This time, he knew that he would definitely meet Ming Xu in the Polar night cemetery, but he had no right to disobey the orders of his superiors. The Cleaners had so much power now because of the support from the higher-ups of the military and the Katashafi Committee.
From the perspective of the Bai family, he did not want to become enemies with Li Xiang and Ming Xu. However, he was not only a member of the Bai family, but also a soldier and the first captain of the Cleaners.
This was an army set up by the White King himself to maintain the peace of the Seven Continents. If the Cleaners' authority could be so easily challenged, then this army would be worthless.
Especially when he, the captain, had to take action.
"Then there's no room for discussion." Ming Xu's finger was on the trigger, about to shoot regardless of anything.
"Ming Xu."
A voice that Bai Dongxue could not be more familiar with rang out from the crowd.
Everyone was in an uproar, then fell silent.
All eyes were cast on Li Xiang.
Only then did they know that Li Xiang had also come!
"Chief Instructor!"
"Lord Li Xiang!"
All kinds of voices rose and fell.
Bai Dongxue's expression changed slightly. He looked uncertainly at the man who was supposed to be at the Great Wall of Disaster.
