Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With the appearance of the old man, the elderly gentleman who had originally kept his eyes tightly closed also opened them.

Looking at each other, a hint of a smile played on his face.

“You’ve come,” he said, slowly sitting up.

The old man, facing him, also smiled faintly. “Yes, I’ve come, but it seems I shouldn’t have.”

His voice was calm but tinged with a hint of resignation.

“There’s no ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t.’ We’re all halfway buried in the soil, just doing what we want to do.”

“I understand your choice.”

The old man on the other side sighed, “Indeed, none of us have much choice anymore.”

“I came, and you’re awake.”

“What result do you want? Speak up…” That man’s mouth curved into a bitter smile.

The old man pondered for a moment, and his expression shifted from a smile to a solemn demeanor.

He spoke in a deep voice, “Their thoughts have deviated. You know what we are guarding here, and you know where our people are fighting.”

“It’s a world where survival is a luxury, and Yun City is at its heart.”

“You also know what those people sacrificed in that world to bring peace to ours.”

“So… some people cannot be spared.”

The old man’s last words were icy!

Even the opposite elderly man was momentarily stunned.

Then, a hint of final pleading flashed in his eyes.

“Can you give them another chance? I’ll bear all the blame.”

The old man shook his head.

“It’s not your fault. You just want to help them; I would do the same.”

“What’s truly wrong is their path, their thoughts.”

“For the safety of Yun City, for the safety of the whole world.”

“They cannot stay, you know…”

This time, that person fell silent.

After several minutes passed.

He seemed to age significantly. Then, he let out a long sigh…

“Sigh… I understand.”

“But… I can’t do it. I’ll trouble Elder Fu.”

“I… will leave first. After all, someone has to be the first to bear these sins.

Saying that, this old guy sat silently in place, his breath extinguished without a sound.

A touch of sadness flashed in the old man’s eyes.

Originally, he had not intended for this man to die.

But…

It was just as he had said, some sins needed someone to bear them first.

He took responsibility.

This matter reached the point of no return.

The old man stood up, feeling a little tired.

The old man rose wearily and walked straight to the outer room, then stepped outside.

He felt the atmosphere within the entire structure and took a deep breath.

Standing as if in the universe’s center, his aura suddenly erupted.

At this moment, every presence in the entire west camp, engaged in various activities, instinctively turned their gaze towards him.

They simultaneously halted their movements, perplexed by the strange occurrence. What kind of aura was this?

The old man took a deep breath, then roared, “Die!” The word “die” was uttered in a cold, emotionless tone, and his momentum surged once again.

Simultaneously, numerous small attacks scattered and spread throughout the surroundings.

All around the building, whether hidden in the shadows or within the structure, every presence wore a face of fear.

Then, most people directly stopped breathing, shocked by the intensity of the moment.

This single shout completely surpassed the basic range of ability attacks.

Was it somewhat similar to Li Yidao’s invisible killing curse?

Sighing deeply, everyone was thoroughly shocked at this moment.

This shout was a genuine display of killing intent.

Not only that, following the old man’s shout, countless figures appeared all around, as if they had been prepared long ago.

At this moment, the entire west camp became a purgatory.

Those who had infiltrated, including members from the east camp, were swiftly dealt with. Even other forces seeking some advantages were no exception.

They had no chance of escape at all.

For a while, the scene truly resembled a river of blood.

Apart from this development, the battle concluded swiftly, yet these individuals pressed forward without pause.

An elite squad emerged, led by the old man with the rest following closely behind.

They advanced rapidly towards the direction of the east camp.

Their objective was crystal clear—to settle everything at once, even if it meant the east camp ceasing to exist from this day forward.

Perhaps even the west camp could be sacrificed.

However, the presence of a specific ideology was imperative. The remaining people had to adhere to the ancestral requirements, safeguarding every inch of the land.

Drawing in a deep breath, Li Yidao found himself trailing behind the old man, his blood involuntarily boiling with anticipation.

Having just acquired valuable information from the old man, including the current location of Li Yinuo, he was now aware of the perilous situation the young girl found herself in.

She was in a horrifying world, a realm filled with terror.

How perilous was it inside?

No wonder her return seemed an insurmountable challenge, considering the difficulties one faced when coming back from such a world.

But they had to enter!

And only some special people could enter!

Li Yinuo could enter, Li Yidao could enter, and the old man, having previously guarded one of those worlds, was more than qualified.

It was due to his injuries that he had to depart earlier.

Now, his aim was swift recovery, followed by a prompt return.

Conveniently, this meant clearing out the peripheral guards.

After all, the entrance to the entire horrifying world existed solely at Yun City.

Although not widely known, most of Yun City’s high-ranking and capable individuals were aware of it.

In that case, naturally, the situation was different.

If something really happened to this place, they would suffer.

As for people from other countries, they naturally had their own entrances as well.

Each entrance was a closely guarded secret, and everyone was awaiting the final outcome.

At least, that was how it appeared back then.

It’s important to note that in the other world, everyone was in a competitive relationship.

In such a relationship, safety could be somewhat guaranteed if there were enemies present simultaneously, but in reality, it was definitely not that simple.

The mutual vigilance and scheming among everyone were to be expected.

“In a while, I’ll give you some names, try to resolve them first,” the old man suddenly said to Li Yidao as they approached the vicinity of the east camp. “The rest of them were just a piece of cake.”

Li Yidao, who was deep in thought, instantly grasped the situation and nodded gently.

He also wanted to conclude everything as soon as possible.

Then, to enter another world and find Li Yinuo!
