204: Entering the dark world for the second time, a shocking conspiracy!

Unlike last time, when they entered the Black Curtain, the system panel displayed a new prompt.

Because of the dark crystal stone mask, they could enter regardless of level restrictions.

Chen Beixuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he had guessed correctly; otherwise, he would have had to go to the Demon Realm and use the passage there.

He wondered if it was just his imagination.

He felt that the Black Curtain seemed to have expanded since his last visit…

However, so much time had passed that he couldn't quite remember, so he didn't dwell on it.

Their vision changed.

A desolate, dead world filled with mist appeared before them, and there was an indescribable strange smell in the air.

On the ground, they could faintly discern the footprints from their last visit…

"Let's go."

Chen Beixuan took the lead, following the previous route, intending to revisit the old place.

It would be best if he could capture a soul to question.

It was impossible to distinguish directions in the mist.

The dark crystal stone mask perfectly blocked the erosion of dark power, unlike their cautious approach last time.

The five people moved at their fastest speed.

In less than ten minutes, they passed through the graveyard and arrived at the Roman hall from last time.

During the journey, Chen Beixuan tried to capture the souls of ghost monsters, but found them to be low-level creatures without intelligence, making communication impossible.

Upon entering the hall, the effect of the dense fog disappeared.

Chen Beixuan immediately saw the teleportation array in the center of the area, as well as the refreshed Dark Wizard and the mini-BOSS.

"Xiao Lu, bring them over."

"Okay!"

Xiao Lu's lips parted slightly as she issued the command.

"Come here, and don't move!"

As soon as her voice fell, countless golden energy transformed into large hands.

They grabbed all the distant Wizards and the BOSS, lifting them directly in front of them.

Even though the BOSS had high tenacity, it only required a bit more mana to extend the control duration, and it still couldn't break free.

"Black… Black Death Guard?"

The BOSS was instantly startled when it saw the smiling mask, exclaiming in surprise.

But after sensing their aura, it immediately realized something was wrong!

"Not the Black Death Guard… You are humans!"

Chen Beixuan let out a "Huo!", "You react quite fast."

He immediately struck each of them dead with a single blow, then performed soul imprisonment on the BOSS.

The Level 30 mini-BOSS was like a toy, easily molded and manipulated.

A few minutes later.

He had all the information, and with a wave of his hand, he obliterated the soul.

"The Dark World is vast and boundless; there's no such thing as a main city. All Dark creatures feed on Dark power, and most are soulless monsters."

"Only those granted souls by the Lord of Darkness can possess intelligence, which are the so-called regular army, the Dark Clan. But souls are limited, so their numbers are relatively scarce."

"The Lord of Darkness resides in the Dark Center; the mini-BOSS has no idea of the exact location. It was only granted a soul upon arriving here, which shows how cautious the Lord of Darkness is."

"This is troublesome now…"

Chen Beixuan scratched his head, unable to find his target.

At this moment, a sentence from Super Dad instantly clarified his thoughts.

"Xiao Lu's ability… is it like 'what she says comes true'? If so, finding the direction shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Super Dad, by observing Xiao Lu's actions, immediately guessed the unique nature of her ability.

"That's right, I almost fell into a cognitive trap."

Chen Beixuan clapped his hands.

He immediately asked Xiao Lu to try and locate the Lord of Darkness.

But when the command was related to the Lord of Darkness, the mana consumption was astronomical!

He tried several different commands, but none worked.

Finally, he chose to settle for the next best thing: finding the nearest BOSS location.

This time, the positioning was successful!

But upon seeing the result, everyone was a little confused.

The arrow formed by golden energy pointed to the ground, simple and clear.

Lu Ziming stretched his neck, looking left and right, with a puzzled expression.

"There's no BOSS here…"

The Healer said, "Perhaps… it's underground."

Chen Beixuan pondered this, then waved for everyone to retreat. He then unfurled Chaos Mysterious Feather and flew into the air, aiming his spell below the arrow.

"Chaos - Detonation Spear!"

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Terrifying explosions, like Dongfeng missiles, continuously bombarded the ground!

Dust flew, and the earth trembled!

The ground was destroyed layer by layer, getting deeper and deeper!

One round wasn't enough?

Spell magazine continued!

Chen Beixuan held one hand in front of his chest, aimed at the ground, and cast 5 spells in 0 frames!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the golden arrow still hovered in mid-air, pointing downwards.

Chen Beixuan pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand and pulled out four melting stones.

Three [Ballistic Splitting], melted!

16 shots increased to 31 shots!

Golden entry [Telescope], melted!

2% damage increase per meter increased to 4% per meter!

The remaining Eternal Silence and Spell Magazine were both Radiant grade and could not be melted. Target Lock was a functional type, so he had to give up on it.

After doing all this.

He continued to bombard the area below!

The deafening roar of explosions was tremendous!

Xiao Lu and the other four in the distance covered their ears, their internal organs clearly vibrating.

Just like that.

After an unknown number of explosions, a prompt suddenly sounded!

[Ding! You have killed the Gold-ranked BOSS [Dark Clan - Undead Wizard Lv50]. Teammates gain experience…]

Two rays of golden light fell on Lu Ziming and the Healer's heads, each gaining one level.

"It was underground after all."

Chen Beixuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately used soul imprisonment to seize the BOSS's soul.

The Undead Wizard's soul was imprisoned in a ball of light in his palm, crashing around, desperately trying to escape.

"Don't waste your energy. Tell me what you know, don't force me to use force."

"You're dreaming!" The soul's arrogant voice came out.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he had a thought, and the light sphere began to compress.

Soon, the soul's terrified pleas for mercy came, willing to confess everything.

Chen Beixuan's mouth curled slightly.

First defiant, then submissive, as I thought…

The ancients truly did not deceive me.

As the Undead Wizard confessed everything, the intelligence chain gradually became complete.

It turned out that the teleportation array and the Wizard BOSS on the surface were all illusions.

Their main purpose was to continuously deploy Dark creatures into the human realm, thereby numbing the human realm's suspicion of the Black Curtain.

Making the human realm believe that the Black Curtain was merely a type of spatial passage.

Thus overlooking the shocking conspiracy hidden behind the Black Curtain!

But as for what the specific conspiracy was, the Wizard's soul claimed it didn't know, only that they had been preparing for something.

And his task was to construct a special magic array here, made of dark crystal stones, with an unknown purpose.

Furthermore, there were countless Dark Clan members performing the same construction task as him, far more than just himself.

He also did not know the exact location of the Lord of Darkness.

His explanation was the same as the previous BOSS: he only knew it was a place called the Dark Center.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"Wait… No!!"

The light sphere was annihilated, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Chen Beixuan shook his hand, his brain quickly processing the information he had just received.

"If I didn't have soul imprisonment, I probably wouldn't have gotten clues so easily. Thankfully, I was prepared."

"Dark World…"

"They are indeed plotting against the human realm…"

"The detailed plan is unknown, but it should be related to this special magic array."

"So… if I destroy the magic array, I can stop all this?"

As soon as his voice fell, a prompt popped up on the panel!

[Ding! You have triggered an SS-rank hidden quest [Shocking Conspiracy]! Do you accept?]
