98: Chapter 98 The Heretical Path Is Not United

Chu Li stood there and exposed her identity, which successfully drew the attention of the Evil Path members, making her the primary target of their attacks.

As for the other side, Chen Xing concealed his Aura and infiltrated the city at an extremely fast speed, without anyone noticing.

"Leader, according to our intel, the hostages should be in the No. 3 Energy Factory. Once you get inside, head this way..."

Recalling the information he had just received, Chen Xing moved forward quietly, penetrating deep into this city that consisted only of factories and dormitories.

The energy produced by the energy factory was highly sought after; for instance, it was used as fuel for the Interstellar Train, as a substitute for electricity for lighting and heating, and so on. Almost every aspect of daily life depended on it.

As soon as Chen Xing approached, he could sense a dense amount of energy leaking out; the factory's storage facility had been severely damaged.

"Second Transformation!"

In the corner, Chen Xing whispered the incantation and unleashed the second stage of the Heavenly Soul Divine Transformation.

With a hum, his Soul ascended. In this state, he bypassed the Divine Ability Realm Evil Path members inside and saw the layout clearly.

There were quite a few Evil Path members here, but they were acting recklessly, engaging in things like sparring to the death, or even drinking blood and eating flesh.

Perhaps because they knew their days were numbered, they were acting so crazily; those who lost a bet were actually forced to cut their own flesh and bleed for the others to consume.

Even Chen Xing, who had lived two lifetimes, was stunned by this scene that shattered his worldview.

With the Evil Path acting like this, can they really still be called human?

"Found them!"

Subsequently, Chen Xing's perception probed the deepest part of the area, where several Evil Path members were abusing a group of Light Opening Realm Ability Users.

Most of them were just ordinary E or D-rank Ability Users, and once targeted by the Evil Path, they could only become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Chen Xing immediately donned a Magical Artifact. Even though he tried his best not to be discovered, he still disguised himself to look and feel like an Evil Path member.

"Please, don't kill me!"

"Spare me, I still have elderly parents and children at home!"

"..."

A group of ordinary Ability Users knelt on the ground, begging bitterly. Their bodies were covered in knife wounds and burns; it was a horrific sight.

However, the more they begged for mercy, the harder the Evil Path members laughed.

Among them, an Evil Path member with a scarred face targeted an extremely weak woman; her blood had almost been drained, and she was on the verge of death.

"Hey, what are you doing? If you kill the hostage, we'll all die." Someone stopped him.

"She's almost dead anyway, can't I enjoy some meat? A woman like this has the tastiest heart; if you aren't going to eat it, I will!" the scarred man said.

"Heh... if someone dies, how are you going to answer to the Envoy?"

"We're all about to die anyway, why do you care about some Envoy? Are you an idiot?"

"Following the Envoy's will is the arrangement of the Evil God. You should at least listen to that, right?"

"You..."

When the words [Evil God] were mentioned, the scarred man clearly showed panic and unease, and his previous Aura vanished.

These expressions flashed by, but Chen Xing noted them down.

"This is different from what I imagined. What kind of person is that Evil God, exactly?"

Chen Xing realized that although these people were lunatics, they were different from the traditional definition of fanatical religious believers.

When speaking of that Evil God, there was no fanaticism or blind devotion in their eyes; instead, there was only terror, fear, and unease.

This didn't look like the relationship between believers and a deity at all; it looked more like slaves fearing their master.

"Then I'll pick a healthy one and just eat a little. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" the scarred man compromised.

"Fine, give me some." The other person chuckled.

"Damn it, you wanted to eat too!" The scarred man's face darkened.

"Hey, where are the people?" At this moment, someone let out a cry of surprise.

Everyone looked over. The group of Ability Users who had been begging for mercy a second ago had now completely vanished.

It was like a magic trick; they had disappeared into thin air, all of them.

"It's over!"

The Evil Path members immediately sensed that something was wrong and rushed to search for them.

On the other side.

"Take this with you. Although the space inside isn't large, it has been modified by the higher-ups to hold living things. Use this when you rescue people."

Before setting off, Chu Li had given Chen Xing a Storage Ring, which could directly store living people inside.

Just now, Chen Xing had flashed to the side of the group, immediately locked onto everyone with his light, and stowed them all away.

Then, in less than a second, he transformed into light and flashed away.

"Someone has infiltrated!"

Inside the city, four or five Divine Ability Realm Evil Path Ability Users realized something was wrong, and one of them was a Great Divine Ability user.

Chen Xing needed to save people, so he had no intention of fighting and simply flashed away.

"Stop him!" the Evil Path Envoy roared.

"What?" This response actually exposed the lack of unity within the Evil Path.

The group of Evil Path Ability Users froze, then looked at each other, unable to help but complain internally.

Are you kidding me? We are only Divine Sea Realm Ability Users; you want us to stop someone in the Divine Ability Realm?

Why don't you go stop him yourself?

"Mutiny! You're all committing mutiny, aren't you!" the Envoy raged.

"We're all going to die anyway, who's afraid of you now..." someone couldn't help but mutter.

"Stop talking so much and do it!" The other two Divine Ability Realm Ability Users attacked directly.

"The Evil Path is the Evil Path, indeed they are not united."

Chen Xing glanced behind him, then accelerated, turning into a flash of light and quickly leaving the area.

Now, not only had he reached the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm, but he had also corrected his weakness regarding his Soul, doubling his combat power.

Furthermore, he had the assistance of the Magical Artifact; his speed was so great that even a Great Divine Ability user could not keep up.

On the perimeter, the group, having suddenly noticed that the Evil Path had stopped attacking, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be... has something happened?

"He should have rescued the hostages!" Chu Li said.

"Should we go and provide support?" someone asked.

"Don't act rashly. It might just be that the group is changing shifts. If we go over blindly, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing Chen Xing's operation?" the leader said.

"That's right. Currently, they don't know we have someone inside. If we approach like this, it would be an indirect admission." Someone nodded.

Just then, the communicator suddenly received a message; looking at it, it was actually from the Group Leader.

"We have successfully rescued the hostages. How is the progress on your side?" the clear voice of the Evil Suppression Group leader came through.

"Group Leader, the situation is currently uncertain. Someone has just infiltrated to rescue them," the leader said.

"Infiltrated blindly? Have you considered the consequences? As far as I know, there are Great Divine Ability users among that group. With your speed, it will be difficult to retreat!" the Group Leader frowned.

"This... apologies, Group Leader. We indeed do not have that ability, but the leader who just came is someone skilled in this area, so we chose to trust him," the leader said.

"Who? The new Spirit Seed Realm?"

"No, um... do you know Chen Xing? He is that S-rank Light System Ability User who defeated Venerable Jianxing. You must be aware of his speed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the other side was silent for two seconds.

"If it's him, then there's no problem," the Group Leader said.

"Wait there for me, I'm coming to support you immediately."

"Yes!"
